No Mami, Yes Papi, Fancy B Day
She's been here. I've jerked off to her. What, is that wrong?
Bad Friends
No Mami, Yes Papi, Fancy B Day
No pay. It's the way you're saying it. Say it in a southern accent. I'll comp you. No pay. You're right.
Bad Friends
No Mami, Yes Papi, Fancy B Day
And then, you know, meet a woman. That doesn't sound right. You don't want to raise a kid? So I go down the seventh veil.

No Mami, Yes Papi, Fancy B Day
Oh, we're not involved? What? I wanna be involved. You're wrong. You're not. I wanna get a stick. You can get a stick, buddy.

No Mami, Yes Papi, Fancy B Day
But you came all the way there. But did I not go? That's good. Like going is good.

I just got a bad vibe from the room. You got a bad vibe from a full-packed house, a sold-out room? Yeah, but there were people on stage singing folk music.

5: Making Peace with Death
Quite honestly, it was a pretty inappropriate case for a fairly new hospice nurse to have. Definitely my most difficult. So I met Jake, and he was in rough shape. He was in my care for several months. There was a lot going on. Tension between family members. It was better that I had eyes on the situation as much as I could.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
5: Making Peace with Death
This was a complicated case, but it was not expected to be a long admission. He was not expected to be on services very long. I completely agreed with the prognosis from the hospital that it'd be a few weeks. Super sad. You know, 29-year-old kid is clearly dying. He's going to be gone soon. So while he was in the hospital, they did a lot of teaching with the family.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
5: Making Peace with Death
His wife especially was very knowledgeable, and she did take great care of him. Ellen was really good at determining what he needed, but, you know, it would take anyone else a long time to finally figure it out.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
5: Making Peace with Death
She would do all his medications and there were quite a few of them. She certainly drove me crazy some days with some of the things she wanted to try or do that just weren't really aligning with hospice philosophy. Basically, she wanted him to get better. I mean, who wouldn't?
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
5: Making Peace with Death
So she wanted him to have, like, therapy, which doesn't... Hospice is kind of your insurance will pay for hospice or they'll pay for therapy. They won't do both. There were always, like, new supplements she wanted to try. And she did want him to still go and see doctors. And she wanted him to get better.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
5: Making Peace with Death
Jake had these horrible, horrible contractions where he would scream when they happened, because they were so painful. And you could just see his arms especially just locked in, fully flexed, his hands fully flexed, and this would go on for minutes. Just horrible, horrible, horrible contractions. You'd see muscle spasms in his leg where you'd see it so tight except for that muscle.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
5: Making Peace with Death
He was incontinent, so he had a condom catheter for urine and he wore Depends. He couldn't eat on his own at the time. That was all through the G-tube fed with formula. Just from being in bed all that time, he would get super hot, and we had a fan. We'd roll him on the side, blow the fan on his back. His nails were just chronically infected from being contracted all the time.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
5: Making Peace with Death
We used to put little towels in his hands to try to prevent them from digging in, but oftentimes the contractions would go right over the towel and right into the palms of his hands where it would dig in, and it was just horrible to watch, really. See how this poor kid lived day to day in agonizing pain all the time.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
5: Making Peace with Death
Within the first couple of months, he had a particularly bad storming episode where he actually turned a color I still have yet to see again. Just making all these awful noises and pretty much like a movie. How a death is portrayed in a movie, that's how he looked.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
5: Making Peace with Death
I remember being there at the house for a very long time that day because I kept thinking any minute now, you know, he's just going to stop breathing. Um, It was violent is really the word for it. Violent shaking and horrible noises and turning that awful shade of purple. There's something called modeling that you look for in the feet when someone is about to pass.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
5: Making Peace with Death
It was hard to say because he was kind of all purple, which, again, I've never seen that before either. That's the only time I've ever seen something like that. His vitals were all over the place. He was hyperventilating. It was really awful to see. We certainly didn't think he was going to survive the night. You know, I'm preparing the family that tonight's going to be the night.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
5: Making Peace with Death
I certainly didn't think he would make the night, and he did. And he made a liar out of me. Further on, or maybe a couple months after that, there was an incident where he incidentally removed his trach, to which, you know, he obviously shouldn't be here. But he started breathing on his own. By some miracle, no longer needed oxygen.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
5: Making Peace with Death
So it was at that point that it's like, okay, is this guy really dying? Or, like, do we need to get him other sorts of help? Like, what's going on here?
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
5: Making Peace with Death
Let's cure him. Let's get him better. And I think the stress started to take a toll. There were some days that she just wouldn't answer my calls, wouldn't answer the door. And at that point, she was basically doing it alone.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
5: Making Peace with Death
The plan was to have him go back to the emergency room, but it didn't quite happen that way.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
All right. Thank you.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
Hey, how you guys doing?
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
So, yeah, I put on my profile that I'm a carjitsu expert.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
Well, everyone thinks it's a made-up term, right? But I do it. It's a real sport. And I sent you guys a video clip of my email.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
This is how it works, right? At the start of the match, you have two people sit in the driver's seat and one in the passenger's seat.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
Okay. So now once the match starts, both fighters, we just unbuckle ourselves. And we just attempt to, like, get at the other person. We just attempt to, like, subdue them in the vehicle.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
Yeah, all the girls ask me about it. And they get really confused.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
Well, first of all, I put it on my profile because they ask you what your job is, right? And that's my job.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
Karjitsu expert. Yeah, so I travel around internationally for this.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
So pretty much all the girls ask me about it and they get really confused.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
But Catherine, she said she's actually seen it online before.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
Yeah. That really helped me break the ice with it. Okay. Where'd you go? We went to a bar and it was going all right. But things started getting a little out of hand when we started drinking. Oh.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
Well, she basically stood up and said, my boyfriend will take anyone on in Karjitu.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
I loved it. Oh. She actually pulled out her phone and showed me videos to a few tables.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
Well, I get it's kind of different when it looks unusual and a little funny. But I've been training for this for years. And I do make a decent amount of money from it. You know, like I'm living from it.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
Yeah, but afterwards, she realized that maybe she was getting a little bit out of control.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
No, well, she kept saying, you're mad. And, like, really, I wasn't mad. But I was kind of getting annoyed that she kept telling me that I was.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
Pretty much, bro, she's not calling me.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
She might be embarrassed because she was a bit drunk. But, you know, I don't take anything about it. Like, I still think she's an amazing girl.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
Well, that's why I called. I hope you guys can get her on the line.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
really rare to find a girl who actually knows about this and who's probably going to be willing to support me through it. You know, she's literally my biggest cheerleader that night.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
Mike? Yeah, well, you're seriously not calling me because your roommate thinks it's too dangerous? Come on, look, look, I've trained so hard for this. This is literally what I do every single day. I train hard not to get hurt. This is literally my main job, is not to get hurt.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update UPDATE: Carjitsu Crazy
No, it's definitely more safe because if you fall, you fall in the water. Ah.

605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Is it just me being pedantic, though? Like, isn't the OpenAI problem just arithmetic? That they're just spending too much money at an insane rate.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Which, yeah, which I mean, people who listen to the show, which I think it's mostly regulars, right? They know that I personally hate the idea of let's have the government make us a monopoly because safety. Let's not forget the I mean, I am not like, you know, turning traitor here.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
But, you know, the American AI companies are the ones who brought us African-American Nazis because they were so worried about, you know, media criticism and bullshit like that. They way over indexed on safety in retrospect. Well, not only that, they spent like drunk sailors. They over indexed on political nonsense. You know, they're too busy fighting with Sarah Silverman, which I mean, come on.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
When China just – I mean the deep-seek people and God knows what else they've got going on over there are – I think they're going to eat their lunch. Yeah, and maybe Trump will regulate some safety. Trump might put up a moat. But it being open source, an MIT license, is going to make it really hard for the government to put up a moat to prevent this.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Which, if it's true that they found a way to not have to leverage CUDA, and they're not just lying and somehow black market imported the GPUs, which I kind of feel like they probably did find a way around CUDA. That long term is super bad for NVIDIA, right? Their moat has been, you know, four letters, CUDA.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
I don't even know which M I'm running this. Real-time double-check. My M2 Macs, I'm going to tell you, DeepSeek runs real fast on this thing.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
And I didn't need a brand new NVIDIA GPU at all. This is, and once again, Uncle Tim, right, our 3D chess player of the day, somehow comes out on top no matter what happens.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Well, I mean, this is where I'm going to turn it to you. I think all that's happened here is we guaranteed that the federal government is going to put in a new keg and let's keep the drunk money flowing. Maybe, yeah, and help everybody build, build, build. Also, that Stargate project, I decided to foolishly read the plan. Or the publicly available plan? My level of disappointment is pretty high.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Yeah. I mean, especially if you're using, like, legacy Oracle Java, it seems like it'd be a pretty big lift.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
So, Chris, for the amount of money they're spending, right? And you know it's going to be more. How many jobs, like real jobs, full-time jobs, do you think they're creating directly? Give me like a high-low.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
57,000? No, no, no. 57.00. The gains that they're claiming are like tertiary stuff like, oh, you know, the bar in town will do better. There will be more like people buying houses. Because it's data centers and it's not, they're going to be like automated. And of course, like any other functional data center, they're going to contract most of their support staff, right?
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
And by support staff, I mean people who aren't tech heads, you know, cleaning, maintenance, all that good stuff. Right. Yeah. Remember Foxconn in Wisconsin? Poor, innocent Wisconsin that got just rolled. Yeah, this is going to be Foxconn 2.0.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Satya came right out and was like, yeah, I was already doing this.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
I mean, I would almost guess that new projects aren't starting with Oracle Java because I feel like we've kind of moved on from proprietary languages you have to license for quite some time now, right? So yeah, sure, if you were to start a new Java project, I think you'd almost certainly use OpenJDK, right? Why wouldn't you?
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Oh, I'm sure he's invigorated. I have no doubt. I mean, this is like the kind of thing you say when you have to say something and you're just deeply pissed off.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
So I would I would be I mean, the problem is you've got to get through your ex-boyfriend, Elon. But once you're done with that, because if you can get near Trump, seriously, if I was Sam, I would find whatever the Top Gun equivalent of the movie Biden saw. But like even if they were Russians in the movie, just like paint like a Chinese red star on the plane, like do some kind of like filter. Yeah.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
And to scare the shit out of Trump about China and be like, they said Trump is, like, ugly and orange. I would really just mess with him and just be like, hey, you should, like, not let them in the country.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Wait, wait. Can I back that out a little bit? It's kind of funny, right? Just... Open AI did to startups by saying, if you let them have the technology and you let them compete with us, they're going to post a bunch of racist crap. Yeah. Oh, can't do that. So now he's just got to change his tune and be anti-Chinese.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
get even more powerful oh my god you you blame biden that's the move you say mr president i was gonna move faster but the damn democrats with all their stupid xyz anti-racist woke made me hold back that's the move that's that is the s-tier move that you make Because then Trump would be like, oh, Sam, I'm sorry they did this to you. Oh, my God.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
And then Trump gets to tweet or social truth, whatever the hell he does, come out and say, I'm invigorating our AI market, our AI companies, and we're not going to hold them back with woke nonsense.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Mr. President, you have shown me the light. I was lost. I was making, I mean, really, treat it like a religious conversion. Oh, God.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
That was a fantastic... His hair. Did you see his hair with Satya today? It's doing some Oro stuff there. I don't know what's going on, but it's like... His hair is just for folks, obviously, a podcast, not visual. It's straight up as though he's in a battle. Maybe it's like a battle headdress kind of situation.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
I'm thinking insurance companies, the government, banks, people who have ancient systems. Yeah, sure. Wes makes a good point in the chat. Yeah, they're all the way back on Java 8. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Probably. Sure, they're paying Oracle for the license because they need security updates and maintenance and all that good stuff.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
At least they didn't make you watch a Top Gun movie to scare the shit out of you.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
And it's good to hear from you. He's doing all kinds of data stuff over at our podcast and on LinkedIn. We're connected. It's kind of – I don't know, man. I think he just needs to get his Hollywood video card and send Trump a movie. I'm sorry. I can't get over the fact that they showed Biden a movie and he did an executive order. Yeah.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
You know what the sad part is? I believe either of them, Trump or Biden, would totally do that.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
I was going to say, this is TomCruise.ai. There we go.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Whoever showed him this film did not do it by accident. There's no way.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Really? A Tom Cruise movie? Come on, man. Isn't that great? You have, like, all the classified information. You could wake up on a Tuesday and be like, all right, guys, here's what's going on in Area 51. Instead, you're like, Tom Cruise is going to show me the way.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Oh, my God. Oh, no, no, no. How about... Really anything that's actually the actual Stargate where they take over people's bodies, that's pretty rough.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Yeah, but it's probably one of those situations where the lift to change is just, you know, it's too much.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Thank you. That might be our first poem written into Coder Radio.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Preferably with an Apple product that then was permanently water damaged.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
So wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You can copy confidential information out of the company.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
but you can't from Teams go into the documentation. Once it's on the clipboard, couldn't you just copy it like elsewhere?
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
But you can't copy from Teams to the doc, which presumably, since you said custom app, is some sort of like lockdown secure document viewer app. Okay. Well, that's pretty stupid.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Yeah, yeah. Oh, man. So GitHub, you know, they have their GitHub actions, and I guess now they're doing forced updates on them, which, you know, you can kind of see why, right? I mean, I'm not trying to be a total curmudgeon here, but I had a situation where an old client called, hey, we want to change something a little, you know, can you just do that for us real fast?
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
I haven't deployed to this thing in forever. They've kind of been, you know, It's behind their firewall. They're doing their own. They're running it, right? It's just running. So I'm like, sure. No problem. Little did I know. Little did I know. How hard could it be? How hard could it be? This is a slam dunk, right? Wrong. Uh-oh. I had to rewrite my action script. Now, it wasn't so bad.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Because I got lucky that the only couple I – the ones I had were fairly minor and just the straight upgrade, they still worked. There is definitely a real possibility, and I saw people complaining on Reddit about this, that, yeah, I mean, and, you know, your stuff just breaks and you can't deploy anymore. And it doesn't, like, warn you. It just doesn't deploy. It refuses, right?
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Anybody familiar with the GitHub Actions UI? Right when you push, if you open the GitHub Actions UI in your browser, it just tells you straight out, I'm refusing to push. This version is deprecated. Blah, blah, blah. You were warned, basically.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Okay, so that is a maybe viable thing for companies whose product is their software, or when you have a valid maintenance contract, which me and this client do not.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
So it put me in a horrible position. I did fix it, but then I had to go be like, so this is going to be more money, right? I had to call them and be like, you got to pay me more money. Not fun. Not a good conversation. I mean, they were fine. I got to pay you more money. Why exactly?
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Well, because, you know, the quote unquote open source thing we're using on GitHub decided to just like deprecate that version. We had to do an in-place upgrade.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Yeah, I find this incredibly irritating because, you know, I know there'll be the alpha nerds out there who are like, well, you know, you got to keep your stuff up to date. Have you ever sold anything yourself is what I would say to that person. Because people, particularly non-technical business people, hate paying for maintenance contracts.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Because it's true, like if you've done a good job and there's not a lot of issues, they're paying you every month or every quarter to do nothing most of the time, right? Just routine updates and, you know, checks and a little bit of maintenance here and there. But what happens if you don't have one is you're either doing the work for free as the vendor, right? Updating to match stuff like this.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Or when they want to change something small, it's a bigger job than anybody would expect.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Which was the case this time. So I don't know. I think GitHub, which is weird because they're a Microsoft company now, really needs to, like, sure, put up the nasty warning that this is deprecated. And that's what I wish they had done. Like a big red... You can pump it into my Slack because that's how I do my CI deployments.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
And then I would take that warning and go to the customer and say, we really need to update this, and this is what it would cost to do that.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Well, no, no, no. No, no. They did that, right? But nobody had deployed anything for 90 days because they were just running it. Right, right. It should run indefinitely. And the warnings should just become increasingly aggressive until you say, we're not updated. Use the magic S word security, right? That is the way you get business types to upgrade things. Just say security over and over again.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
I mean, it wasn't a big job, right? It took me like an hour, but it's just, I hate this kind of thing. Maybe I'm a little scarred from my bad old days with my Mac app.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Yeah, it's just not, you know, especially in today's age, there's always like SaaS salespeople sniffing around looking to get in there. And yeah, I don't know. I think GitHub needs to maybe go to, not Cupertino, go to Redmond and talk to some of their Microsoft colleagues about legacy support.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Go to alice.dev and let me know if you want anything automated or data management.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
I'm so dramatic. It's fine. It's really fine. Amazing panic, though. CNBC was on fire yesterday.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
And then on Monday, they lost $600 billion. Well, you know, listen, you win some, you lose some. You know how it goes. No? That's not how we feel?
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Yeah, I mean, you know, I did play around with it some. It's not terrible, right? And I particularly like that it's open source. MIT can run it on your machine or, you know, your servers. I think you make a good point about the money, though, because I think that's where the rubber meets the road or the cash meets the cashier's machine, right? Yeah.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
I have, and I think you've agreed with me pretty much, we've been on our hobby horse here that the math doesn't seem to be mathing with the AI investments.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Hang on, Chris. Hang on. So no chevrons are encoding? So we're just going to – all right, screw it. Send SG-13. We don't give a shit about them anyway.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
I mean, come on. Right. That's what I'm asking. Well, we can't.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
You know, it is the year of the snake, Chris, and you got to strike.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Wait, Chris, we have to be positive on DeepSeek, which I keep calling DeepSync, and I had to proofread my stupid blog post like 10 times because of that. CB in the chat asked DeepSeek what it thinks about Coder Radio. I think you should read that out. Okay, you ready? Go.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
If you can't trust the Chinese AI about your podcasting choices. Honestly, who do you trust? You got nothing. So I like that. But kidding aside. No, I mean, it's open source. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Oh, no. I wrote up my little brief for executives, business people that I send out and I post on the Alice blog.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
uh yeah i mean the the big drawback to deep seek is that is in fact chinese right and there's always going to be i would say until things calm down hopefully they do a kernel of doubt right i was you know we don't have it in the doc today but uh you know there's a vs code uh fork out of china using their own ai powered stuff too that i just find highly suspicious I don't know, right? Like this?
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Yeah, of course. I think being MIT licensed makes it a little more trustworthy. I'm not sure that I would want to use a, are we calling it AI as a service now? Is that the term?
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
It's a term I've been using, but I don't know if it's like a thing.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
Yeah. I mean, I think there's a big difference between, you know, I am sure there are hundreds of people auditing this code right now that's on GitHub.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
So why wouldn't this follow the trajectory that all other technology trends, since we have been doing the show and even before, of unless you are in a regulated industry, i.e. the military, certain banking things, certain medical things, right? Yeah. maybe certain avionics and necessary infrastructure, that you always end up going for the cheapest solution.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
We have a decade of me bitching and moaning about people not wanting to do Objective-C native development or pay for it, right? So you're suggesting this was probably inevitable. I am pretty skeptical of our friends over in China, right? Because, you know, why wouldn't they do everything we've done, basically? Yeah.
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
But something like this, that's MIT-licensed, I mean... Oh, can I go way out on a Naboo limb here?
Coder Radio
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
I think this is the first thing out of, quote, AI, that is potentially... I'm not, like, putting my Gungan flag down. But potentially... an opportunity for independent developers to actually leverage this on their own products and their own IP where they're not paying what is effectively a tax to open AI.

I know someone's going to scream Lama, Lama, Lama, Red Pajama to me, but Lama's not that good. Lama, it's just not there. Yeah, it's not as good. In fact, I A-B tested Deep Seek, not Sync, Deep Seek, against Lama in that beautiful LM Studio app you shared with me. And it's just – there's no – it's not a contest. It's like the New York Yankees playing a little league team.

Now, as part of the cleanup effort, the state of Florida and the counties, whatever agencies are in charge of this, they test the content of the sewer water for various diseases. Oh, God. Oh, we're proud to have our brand new variant of new dominant COVID that is spreading like wildfire here.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Well, you and I have been predicting that that COVID thing wasn't a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Yeah. So I'm getting very... Now, Florida, just fun fact about living in a very hot place, our seasons are... people go outside in the winter and stay inside in the summer.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Right. So like COVID transmission is worse in the summer. So the hope, and this is like the positive spin the paper put on it is that, well, we're coming to the cooler season and that's great because you know, when the North gets it and everybody else gets it, it'll, we'll be good. We already went through it. You probably had COVID and sure enough, they've been testing people.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
A lot of people had COVID and didn't know, right. This new version. We have no fat in the economic buffer here to take another hit like that, even if it's not two years, even if it's three months, six months. I mean, I can only speak for myself on this, but... All those COVID business reliefs were so crooked. The companies got a lot.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
A lot of little guys, myself included, are being forced to pay back money they would not have taken had they not been solicited to take it. I would have simply laid people off. And I'm being compelled to pay it back with interest, which is bullshit because the people I kept employed all got very good jobs anyway. Right.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
They left naturally when the when the you know, whatever, because they were young and they got better jobs. And I'm left. Basically, I kept them on and now I'm left paying for them again. So this is where the limits of government intervention are minimal, let's say, right? And try negotiating with the IRS. It's fun.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Yeah, I mean, let's start, I think really this came about with the rise of GitHub in a lot of ways. And Git, right? It doesn't have to be GitHub, but I think GitHub is probably the most known and primary platform. You know, as development teams started using more decentralized source control, right, instead of, does anybody remember Bazaar? Huh?
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Okay, cool. And GitHub started building more tools in. At the same time, we had the rise of Rails, which I think... I know I'm going to get some crap. Some people are going to yell at me for this. I actually think the Rails evangelism for things like TTD and deployments with automated tests running is a really big part of it. I mean, Rails really...
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
We could do a whole show, a very controversial show, on how I truly believe that Rails actually influenced a lot of what we would consider modern web development, particularly during the period of the rise of DevOps in the aughts. I mean, MVC, right? You only have ASP MVC because Rails exists. Then Spring Boot. Suspiciously, Rails is similar. Sorry, Java guys, but that's where we are.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Django, right? Do I have to keep going? It felt like there was a sea change where the role of, let's say, senior developer and IT admin were starting to overlap quite a lot, right? Yeah. So what was happening is... Now, I think you'll have a different perspective, Chris.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
But I feel like a lot of companies were trying to trim kind of more experienced IT admins and make their admin department more like the help desk people. So they would pretty heartily embrace this idea that the developers themselves would deploy the applications. And that coupled with the Rails-inspired love of... Remember, it's a big deal, right?
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
One of the tenets of this kind of deployment philosophy is you're deploying all the time, where before this, the standard was, oh, man, we're going to be deploying this week. All right, everybody, nobody can take vacation, right? It was really all hands on deck. Yeah, yeah. Where this is, you're deploying... I mean, I know a lot of places want to deploy every couple hours. It's kind of crazy.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Yeah. So, you know, it eventually became that your Docker, Doku stuff could be deployed with just a config and a YAML file.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
So a thing that often happens in more complicated applications, though, is you do end up relying on some binary software that just needs to be on the production system. Oh, yeah. I'm not going to say it's not possible, but it's not necessarily what these YAML file-using tools, i.e. Doku, for example, which is still my favorite, are trying to do.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
So, I mean, I got to give one to the crap people today. And the Go people, actually. I don't know why I'm promoting SeaweedFS so much. I just love it. I don't get a kickback or anything. I'm just really excited about it. It's a flat file storage solution. Mimics the S3 API. I've been talking about it for three weeks now. You should go check it out. It's written in Go.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Is that what you mean? Let's-a go! Yes, yes, that's what I mean. So, yeah, I mean, you might have to install Go dependencies, right? Or whatever, depending on how you do things.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Before you jump there, one more positive thing, and then I'm going to join you in dunking like Michael Jordan here. All right. Docker was huge for DevOps, and Docker and the whole ecosystem of container orchestration tools that spawned, such as Kubernetes, huge. And we called it, and I'm never going to stop reminding people of that. All right. Go on. Take your dump.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Yeah. I mean I think the hot air got a little too hot too fast. But, you know, so honestly, when you played that clip, the first thing that popped into my mind was Master Yoda. Fear leads to anger. So with that said, Procreate competes with Adobe, who are just the worst. I'm sorry, but you guys are like dicks of the first order.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
So isn't this just exactly what happened with like Agile, right?
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Yeah. But, you know, Agile, the original Agile manifesto has some very, very strong points. And then the consultants got involved.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
I would even, and I know we've gotten over the years some negative feedback on this, but that's okay. Everybody's opinion is welcome. Even Egon's. Although Egon doesn't actually care about this. The testing stuff. Testing became the same thing where it went from, hey, we can automate some testing that will catch regressions. Great.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
You have to test 100% of your code, and it becomes like a religion. And there's like TDD and BDD and Gandalf the Grey DD consultants that you can hire. It's like,
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Anybody who's a consultant, I mean, unless they're a dev calling themselves or an admin calling themselves a consultant, if their whole job is PowerPoints, just, you know, maybe just take your team out to dinner.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Are you sure he wasn't, like, tabbing out to Miniclip or something like that? Maybe when I'm not looking. Maybe he was aware. Yeah. Yeah. So DevOps, it's where are we now? I think we should wrap it up there. Where are we now? How do you feel? You're the system admin. I don't feel like anybody talks about it anymore. Oh, contrary.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
They once. So I feel like the people who talk about it now, even the evil consultants got kind of shellacked. Yeah. By the the we used to call them platform as a service. Remember that pass, which always reminds me of pause the Easter die, right? The Easter egg die thing. But it's like D.O., our beloved former sponsor who I use all the time. wants to get you to use their application framework.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
They have a name for it, but it's basically selling you DevOps that is specific to them. Amazon is more than eager to do the same thing.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
It's cloud. Well, I would even argue Lambda and Microsoft, whatever, Azure Functions, all that stateless, serverless, whatever crap, that's just DevOps taken to its logical conclusion. Don't even worry about a server. Just give us your function. We'll throw it up there and we'll charge you three times as much to run it every time.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
I have a confession to make, though. Okay. So my choice is always like D.O., right? Yeah. Like if it's just like a client who comes to me and says, we don't care. Get it done. You know, tell us what to do. I actually, if I'm not given the choice, I prefer Azure to AWS. Which feels like blasphemy, but I just do.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
I find it more, I mean, it's very Microsoft, but I think the correlation, maybe it's a correlation issue of a lot of these companies I'm working with are very deeply into the SharePoint Active Directory world. So just being on Azure tends to, one, it's easier to sell to their IT people, right? It's not a scary new vendor.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
I don't know when Adobe became super evil, but... I think Flash. Flash. Yeah, I guess so. Really, the Creative Cloud stuff really just chapped my ass a little too much. I can't... I don't know. I reflexively support any competitor of theirs. Yeah. I don't do a ton of design stuff. I contract most of that out now.

Yeah, so well done, Uncle Tim, on the existential crisis product.

So, I mean, but we still, TMB still has a Creative Cloud license because you have to, right? Someone's going to send you a Photoshop or an Illustrator file. And that's just the way, like, it doesn't feel like a product choice. It feels like a tax almost.
Coder Radio

you know it's going to run its ass right off the table.
Coder Radio

I don't. This is a, you know, your buddy Marco Arman on the ATP show was actually pretty negative on Apple, up to the point of saying they might need new leadership. Really? Yeah, it's, they've gotten, they've gotten so big that making that number go up and to the right, I think is just a big challenge for them.

They'd love one more moat. Give them another moat. Why not? So Microsoft's defense, I'm going to make their case. I'm not saying if I agree. I could see a lot of people are saying it's disingenuous. The problem is they were forced to allow this. If Microsoft had their way, no one would have this kind of access.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
And would the EU force them? Which I got to be honest, if I'm Satya, that's exactly what I would say because I want to get the EU out of my knickers, right? I want them out of my lingerie drawer.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Right, what you're suggesting is making it easier and less dangerous for the thing they don't want to be done to be done. Why would you ever do that? It would be like me saying, never mind, I'm not even going to suggest it because I don't want to give anybody ideas. I don't like lawyers. I think lawyers are some pretty slippery folks.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Yeah. I can't imagine Microsoft couldn't come up with some... plausible case that CrowdStrike has caused them damages? Because I think the answer is you sue them into oblivion, right? Like basically you go Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan. This isn't a suit to recover money. This is a suit to end this entity.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
And if I was Microsoft and I need the love of my life salary in a minute, I'd go right back to the EU and say, look what you've wrought. Ah, look what you've done.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Yeah. I mean, seriously, f*** them. What have they got? Nothing. They have their regulations, but they're on a track down the toilet.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
I'm sorry, but China, America, even Russia, to a point, you have to listen to. But I don't know. I... Basically, they want to be the local auditor. It's just such a scummy thing. Not in the EU anymore, but Chaucer, you guys are like the partners. You're just going around trying to tax the shit out of everybody and say, oh, you can't do that, you can't do that, but build something of your own.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Where's your Microsoft? Yeah, where's your big tech company at? Right, and I agree we do need some regulation, but it should be done by us. And that regulation should be in the form of breakups.
Coder Radio

Xbox, instead of Microsoft just destroying it like they are, they should just spin it out. If Azure was its own company, Office its own company. Office and Outlook together.

Yeah, I mean, I actually think Windows would probably be one of the weaker ones.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
I think you'd stick Windows with the… Office, probably. Office, yeah.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Apple's the harder one to break up. I mean, Vision Pro should be its own company just so they can write that shit off and be done with it. No kidding. Take the loss. Take the tax break. But no, I mean, no offense to our EU listeners, but this is kind of… I'm hyper-sympathetic to the Microsoft case here of, you made us open up our kernel. What did you think was going to happen?
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Which, if you knew what you were talking about, you would know is a crazy thing to do.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Oh, Satya's too nice, because he doesn't want to draw a negative, because they're doing a bunch of other crap that they probably should be regulating for.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
But if you really look at it, it's... I don't agree with everything that was written in the op-ed, but was it – who was it? It was a Paul Graham or Peter Thiel. One of them wrote an op-ed. I think it was in the Wall Street Journal. Someone will fact-check me on this and where it was.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
But they made a pretty strong case, and they were all over Twitter with it, about why the EU doesn't have a Microsoft or an Apple.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Yes, a couple weeks ago. Now, the case was awfully self-serving because they kept mentioning crypto. But, you know, it does make me wonder because, like, how come Canonical never pulled it off? Right? Canonical's a big company, but they never made it. My beloved SUSE just seems troubled these days. You know, what happened? Business?

Yeah. Anywhere you want to send the people in the meantime. Go to alice.dev and be nice to your local European politician.

That's really mean. You have to pay us. The more trolly it is, the more you have to pay.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Yeah. I mean, we've been talking about this for years now, right, that ever since the mobile app boom, I feel like the industry has been looking for the next big hotness that would generate outsized returns. You know what I've realized, Mike?
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Yeah, no, I absolutely believe that. I mean, I don't know what to say. It seems pretty obvious to me. I mean, have you been grocery shopping recently? Oh, my gosh, yeah. Like, I wish I owned a chicken coop, honestly.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
But it's up on the basics. It's stuff you really – you're a forced buyer in a lot of ways.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Maybe. I mean, I just I would push back a little bit because we've also heard tons of people. Even in our small jobs chat room, which I would encourage people to use because it doesn't cost you anything, right? Whether you're the employer or the prospective employee. And we don't get anything. Do we, Chris? I don't think we get a damn thing from that. No, it's just a matrix chat.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
It's a community thing, yeah. So a lot of people have gotten laid off, right? There's been... I mean, I would say yes, if you if you were making, you know, $80,000 a year or something, it's a lot easier to take the hit than than somebody, you know, like, let's say a bartender or, you know, waitress during COVID. But it's it's still like pain is all relative and it still hurts.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
So I agree with you. There's also, we've talked about this before, like classes of tech people. Like, yeah, fancy pants guy who went to MIT and then got a job at Google and is really upset because now he has to show up at the office and he can't get his massage every day. Well, I agree. I do believe work from home is actually a good idea for a lot of stuff.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
It's hard for me to sympathize with someone who started off making that much money with that kind of perks. Yeah, I don't know. Drunk money is bad. I don't even know what to say. The zero interest rate drunk money was really, really bad. It created this whole situation. And it's coming back, baby.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
It's about to ease up. And that won't fix it. That won't fix it right away. That's exactly where I'm going with this. I'm just going to use my drunk money analogy again. It's going to ease up. So are we going – are we – and I don't mean we. I mean let's be honest, the fancy VCs. Are we going to learn to moderate our trendy chase the new hotness habit?
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
Well, they have – right. Exactly. You got it exactly right because we went from pensions to 401ks and Roth and regular IRAs. And this is – Mike and Chris teach why you really wanted a guaranteed benefit pension and not a 401k. But hey – Unless you own the company, then you definitely want the 401k or the Roth IRA.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
I don't remember which one is the most tax-advantaged one because you can defer your income tax and not pay high – especially if Democrats win – That's an opportune time to tax-free invest in your retirement, which lowers your taxable income that year, and you can stay below that ever-critical $105,000 mark. I don't know what it is.
Coder Radio
585: From Ops to Dev and Back Again
I know Trump changed the brackets, but there used to be a mark where $1 over your bracket changes, and you're in a lot of trouble.

The problem is you can't go below zero, right? That was the wall. That was the corner they put themselves in. They went to zero. Zero is zero. Yeah.

So basically we're going to comply with the EU. If we didn't have to do this, we wouldn't do it at all. We would just lock the shit down. But we're going to make it so bad that good luck.

So one, aggressively spy on your kids, folks, because they may be joking. Like I got to say, that poor 11-year-old, again, he did a very bad thing in that other county. He probably was joking, right? Also, he's probably not capable of doing anything. But his life is – I mean this – he better change his name if they don't send him to juvie.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
Yes, but they have solved the problem. If you define the problem as the CrowdStrike problem. Yes. Right. If you throw CrowdStrike out of the kernel, you have therefore solved that problem. Four score and seven boosts to go.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
Yeah, I was having a few issues with RuboCop, specifically in RubyMine. I mean, this is, like, very specific, right? Yeah. I actually did reach out to Jet Brands, and they're kind of awesome in their support. Oh, good. I found most of the problem, but then something else propped up. So I'm checking it out. It seems to be a very, very specific issue.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
based on permissions access between file systems. And this is, so far in my usage of WSL, this has been kind of its Achilles heel when you have to cross the boundaries, which you probably want to, right? Like I'm using the Windows Ruby mind to work in Ruby on the Linux file system. And that's the right way to do it.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
So I will say this issue is such a dumb issue that it's very specific to the way RubyMine implements RuboCop suggestions. RuboCop, by the way, is a linter similar to, I don't know, like Flake or something like that in Python, where it tells you, your code is right, but, you know, geez, you should be using this syntax. It's more modern instead of your old-ass way of doing it.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
Yeah, like if you open VS Code, I have no problems, which tells you kind of, again, one of the weaknesses of WSL is the tool's got to keep up. No one keeps up better with their own tooling than Microsoft.

I am going to steal that phrase, sir. That is good. Also, I just want to say small talk does have a successor language. You may have heard of it. I want you to be objective about this and see the truth.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
See, the R data people are making so much money. Yeah. They really just, I mean, honestly.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
You know what? I will install GNU Step. Although it's still Objective-C, isn't it? Never mind. I forgot the name of the Smalltalk. Is it Pharaoh? Someone will correct us in the feedback. But there is a Smalltalk thing you can still run. pretty easily on Mac and Linux. I'm sure it runs on Windows too. And I will do a stupid Jar Jar thing in Smalltalk if Smalltalk can win.
Coder Radio

Yeah. Just a reminder. Florida is as big as most of the United Kingdom.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
Everybody thinks Florida is small because of the way it's usually rendered on U.S. maps. It is not small.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
Oh, I mean it's like cancellation, but with actual legal weight behind it now. Yeah. Now, having said that, something – obviously these kids need help and to be punished, right? To be clear, I'm not super pinko comedy. Like, yeah, you do something. You make a threat. You're going to get the hammer. But maybe being a juvenile and in this case 11, you shouldn't be paraded publicly, right?

There it is. Battery changes every two to three years. I was wondering how he did that. Okay.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
Can I take a creepy diversion? Yeah. So my boy has decided to watch Minecraft videos on YouTube in my office, right? My home office. Sure. I've reluctantly let him. Google has figured out that likely if I open YouTube on my laptop, It's me. So it surfaces all like, you know, the political stuff I watch or big history buff, right? All that stuff. Some of the, you know, the gaming stuff.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
If it's in here, which I'm in my home office now, it's basically exclusively showing like kiddie YouTube stuff or kiddie, excuse me, kiddie Minecraft stuff. Fascinating. And it must be fingerprinting the device and saying, well, on this device, they watch this.
Coder Radio

I think the pre-order is down, right? I mean, we've seen historically since we've been doing this show that the biggest way to get to kind of juice iPhone sales is a new form factor.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
A significant difference in case, not just size. So that's got to be it. Also, I would say that there's not a lot that's really new here. I'm on a 14 Pro Max Shabangabang, whatever they call it. And I'm not upgrading because I don't need to. Right. I'm a techie. I do a tech podcast. So why would I imagine the normies out there? I just I don't see it.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
It seems like it's a pretty it's a pretty iterative product. Even I'm two generations behind and it doesn't seem that different. Right.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
Well, so I think it does, right? So this is the problem, right? Everybody makes mistakes, but in particular, children make mistakes. That's kind of – we call that growing up. And can we be old men for just a minute? I feel like we are already. I was a huge nerd in high school, right? I got picked on. I had a hard time. And then one day, somebody said something – Gross about my mother.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
Yeah, it just, it doesn't. Now, I'm hoping that the next iPhone has something. I mean, by that time, my battery will probably start being terrible.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
I would totally get a foldable. Yeah, because then it becomes like a small reading tablet too.

Go check out alice.dev and check out Linux Unplugged. I like this week's episode.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
I turned around and punched him in the face. I'm a little younger than you. So they took violence seriously back then. So I liked the cops game, but I was okay. Nothing really happened. The cops were like, this is stupid. It's a fist fight. To me, that is part of growing up, right? Boys in particular, they get in fights. They insult each other. They do aggressive things to each other.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
They say aggressive things to each other. And it's bad behavior, no doubt. But is it – I mean how did we get from Chris made fun of Mike or Mike made fun of Chris and somebody ended up with a bloody lip, which is all it used to be. I mean I'm sure maybe – I don't know if you directly have this experience. But boys got in fights and surely in your school as well.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
I think the maximum I ever saw was like a bloody lip. And when I say ever saw, that was me. So that I did that. So I get the fear, but we've become so – And this ties into the Larry Ellison thing and it ties into the open AI safety thing where I'm actually on Sam Altman's side for a change.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
Get out of there. Well, so I don't know if you know that Florida is crazy. I've heard, you know, tons, tons of our schools have had shooting or otherwise violent threats since Friday. Oh, like just since Friday? Since Friday. Yeah, tons. Like it was – my little town here was like lockdown mode. What's happened in the last few days? Do you know?
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
So scared of these kids getting like a little pinprick, we act like it's a sword through the chest when I think we haven't let them – and again, I'm going to say in particular boys and I know I'm going to get shit for this. But like boys, especially going through their changes right through puberty, there's an amount of aggression that they need to learn to either –
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
You know, suppress, control, or just, you know, handle, right? Your hormones are on overdrive. You can't even like get a shouting argument now without getting suspended. And God forbid you say a naughty word during that argument.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
and now it's, oh, there's therapists, there's this, there's that, when now they're killing each other, or they're threatening to, or they're sitting in a dark room because they never leave their house, posting, frankly, insane things online, which leads to a huge expense for the people of the county, and I think a wild overreaction of the community. And I understand the fear, right?
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
What happened in Uvalde, what happened in Georgia, terrible. But the only thing that – the prof would blame social media, and I think that is a part of it. But we also changed how we handle – I'm not going to – I don't want to get us explicit tracked, but let's say two boys in middle school say, F you, F your mother, right? Oh, you get in trouble for that. Even back in our day, right, Chris?
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
You got in trouble for that. Let's say somebody – boy B shoves boy A. You get in trouble. Now the police are there. There's anger management. There's therapy. It's – It's overboard.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
And we've created the situation where these kids now, instead of just getting in the shoving match or the fist fight or the shouting match, they go to crazy online threats that given the very few that do these kind of things. I mean, I understand why the sheriff's department, especially like this kid in my district, taunting the sheriff is very stupid. Right.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
It's it's this man's mission now to get you. and he's elected, I would say, and so is the DA, and so are all the judges. So when they catch this kid, which they will, I have a feeling if he's old enough, he'll be looking at some, shall we say, older gentlemen in prison that might want to teach him a few things that he probably doesn't want to learn.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
What's going – I mean – The one nearest to me where one of my stepkids goes to school and it's the same district as my youngest is a kid went on the internet, posted a threat that he intended to shoot the school up, right? Yeah.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
I mean he's just – he's so clearly a carpetbagger in this situation.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
That's like the crazy people who say an armed society is a polite society. Yeah, because somebody tailgating you should end in a gunfight.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
It's the liberal version of that, right, where the conservative one is have all the guns.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
I could totally see that, right? Yeah. I mean, I go back way into the past with this. When I was in, let's call it middle school or high school, I had a couple – I knew them, right? It was a smaller town up north. They weren't bad per se, boys, but they were a little hyper, right? They liked to do – they were – very traditional school I went to, right?
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
So sitting in rows and sitting there for hours on end and being told what to do and yes, ma'am, yes, sir was not exactly – Their wheelhouse. And then a magic little pill called Ritalin came along. See, I think the problem is you and I are old enough to remember what this was like before. And people just actually dealt with the kids and taught them how to control themselves naturally. Yeah.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
They don't like that. Right. Of course not. Right. Correctly, they respond pretty aggressively. Well, as the sheriff's department is clearing the school, this person decides, I'm assuming it's a boy. That he is going to follow the media, the social media, the local news, and taunt the school and the sheriff. Oh, man. You're kidding me. Very poor decision. Yeah.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
Well, you kind of do, right? They give you like – they've always done that. They give you notes. I mean – but yeah, you're talking about – That's what I'm saying. You're talking about like act like on their device as spying.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
Yeah, so I think that could actually happen. My big concern with this particular case down here and all of them down here, but I think a lot of states are like this. In Florida, like I said, the sheriff is elected in every county. The judges are all elected. And the DA is elected.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
No one who is running for election wants to be the guy that believed a kid who made a stupid Facebook post or Snap or whatever the kids use now or TikTok, right? And said, I'm going to give this kid a break and just force him to go to therapy or something like that instead of charging him criminally. No one wants to be that dude.
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
Because your opponent in the next election, I mean, the ads write themselves, right? I could see the local Tampa Bay CBS and Fox stations running them day in, day out. So what they're going to do and what they've been doing is treating children like they are Osama bin Laden. And that's pretty bad. And I know people are going to be like, well, if it was your – but like it was my kids, right?
Coder Radio
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
Like it was the schools my kids go to. I don't – I'm not happy that this happened. The only reason I'm making this a public thing is because the wildness of the overreaction. And don't get me wrong. I got very little work done. I was nervous as a cat. I was texting my stepdaughter. I checked my son's school's page. They said we're not – we're locked – we're –
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
Okay. All right. So, you know, Chris, my internet service provider only charges me $95 a month.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
But it's the most annoying one I use because it constantly requires me to reauthenticate. I'm like, it's show notes. I don't care. Yeah. Yeah. Like I care, but it's not like there's going to be like, you know, private keys to it. Like there's nothing secret in the show notes.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
It's not substantially better. I mean, I totally disagree. Just, like, get better bandwidth, man. Oh, wrong answer?
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
Oh, no. But I am going to be paying more effective Thursday. I'm sorry, Friday. Friday. Okay. Tell me why. Because I'm going up to 5x5 gigabytes.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
I called them. The lady was like, well, you don't really need this. I said, yeah, but there's this guy. Okay. Yeah. I need to really nuke him for more. But now they had a seven by seven. What was that? Was that like 200 bucks a month? Was that too much? No, I'm using it for episode 700. Obviously, seven by seven. I see. Let me tell you something. All right. Kidding aside.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
Brandon. Ooh, can I do this one? This is like my favorite. Yeah. So it's called a zero to no or low to zero interest rate drunk fed money. And if you read, I think it was Y Combinator put it out to their founders, their letter warning about the future. What happened is a lot of capital just went to, they basically had to find yield, right?
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
So they went to things like VC funds and all kinds of more speculative crap. Well, now the interest rates are going up. Those VCs are going to find it harder and harder to raise rounds, which means by extension, startups will find it harder, right? It's going to become more expensive to borrow all kinds of money.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
But in tech specifically, you are going to see, and I'll stand by this one, a bloodbath of startups collapsing and laying folks off.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
I just backed out of an office space deal myself for that reason. I don't want the liability on the books because landlords are very prone to sue.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
No, we're talking about like the app to put a mustache on your snake. Yes, that's a Silicon Valley reference.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
Yeah, but what that does is it makes you and me and Chris and everybody else listening de facto poorer because even though we might still make – I don't know what you make, whatever you make. Let's call it $70,000. Your $70,000 doesn't go as far as it used to because things went up 10%, 15%.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
So I get off the phone call. Do you know which percentage of the time on the telephone was spent me buying the actual service that I want? Oh, I bet 10% or something like that. Okay. Okay. Sweet lady. Nice lady. I'm not bashing her. What was she trying to do on the rest of the call? Just get your information. What? Nope. Sell me f***ing Norton antivirus. What year is it? No. Yes.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
I think it would be remiss if we don't mention that there is one giant, literally donkey, who might try to encourage the Fed not to do what you described. Because historically, when the Fed does this, the party in power, this is all Americans, sorry, European folks, gets eviscerated at the polls. And we do have an election coming up.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
And if the Fed does what Chris describes, which they probably have to, all these social issues that everybody's fighting about aren't going to matter. The Democrats are going to get eviscerated. Wow.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
And maybe, you know, the election happened, right? Yeah. Yeah. The election happened.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
Got whacked. What did people vote on? Not on, you know, whatever social issues or identity stuff they voted on. Hey, food is kind of expensive. And that's bad.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
Why are we not getting 5% at least? Just a hedge fund to see. Come on.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
I guess we're doing a Stargate theme. It's like one of those Stargates where the gate messes up and you go back in time instead of space. I was like, Norton. I said, I'm on an Apple. Oh, and apparently Norton has Apple products too now.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
I have so many questions. So, one, who are these users that you've sampled? Not you, personally.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
I kind of think it's mostly bull. I don't know. No? All right. So, like, I just upgraded my iPhone. Oh, you got the 16? Yeah.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
uh no i have yeah because i destroyed my other one uh just in time for the warranty have you tried any of the apple intelligence stuff i sure have okay uh i love so i made the mistake of putting my personal cell phone number on my company's website which i think is still there because nobody listens to me that's what i tell them to do uh it better be down but i'm gonna check right after the show uh and what uh has been happening is apparently there's a bunch of uh
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
I mean, there's no nice way to say this. Just really sleazy salespeople that just farm phone numbers. So I've had to put my phone on do not disturb basically all day long and then call people back.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
apple intelligence has a mode where it kind of like it figures out like i've got a client you know named mike i've got another one named dan and it figures out if it's them let it through right because i always respond i always text back or i call or whatever um if it's dave i always you know it always lets it through because i did it figure this out on its own yeah just by my usage patterns
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
That's just a standard machine learning, though, really, isn't it? Well, that is not my most loved feature. The summarizing messages has been amazing.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
I love it. Because sometimes you get a text message... Now, I haven't... We don't have that many outages, but if... whatever, like an Alice instance goes out or something, I want to know that immediately, right? So I want to get it back up. But if it's just like, hey, give me a call when you get a chance, well, I'll call you when I can. So, yeah, I'm loving it. I don't know.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
I hate the writing tools. See, this is my thing. The writing tools... These are like the most HR-driven fake emails or fake text messages back you could ever get. I would be embarrassed to send somebody something like that because it doesn't seem like it's from a person. Well, because it's not, right?
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
What if you're writing to Rust developers and you make this 100 times meaner?
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
What I thought was – Throw in some of your mama jokes while you're at it.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
Okay. But the fact that you keep adding me into photos where I assassinate Kennedy from the grassy knoll. Has been awesome. Problematic for me. Okay.

Although, I'll give this lady credit. She said, oh, well, 5x5. She's like, yeah, we have the service. She said, so, are you running Apache systems? You know what? Just for knowing the name Apache. Was she port scanning you?
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Then how do people know that we're really us and not AI replicants?
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
Well, I definitely wouldn't put that we went to System76 and Carl Rachel murdered us personally. Accusing him of murder right now. and used our blood to cool his new Thaleo Astra. This is not an ad. I just, you know, I do weep for our former carbon-based brothers. This is Mike AI, and that's Chris AI. And again, Carl Richel murdered us for his wonderful ARM64-powered Astra Thaleo desktop.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
That little slip in my speech was because he's trying to hack me right now. It could be worth it. It could be worth it. It's a pretty fast machine, just saying. Again, Carl, if you want to pay us for ads, you know, stop killing us.

You knew I was going to do it. You should have just... Fair enough. I got to tell you something. I still have my OG, the first run Coder Radio robe, and that is so comfortable. We need more robes. Yeah. Boost in if you want more robes and to help me harass Chris. Also, the Coder Radio tumbler, it doesn't matter how much Hendrix you have in it.

You knock that over on your MacBook Pro, you don't destroy the computer. Yeah.

Yeah, I got to tell you, it's going to be tough four years for Sammy boy there, I think. Yeah, he did just kick in a million bucks to Trump's inauguration fund. Whoa, whoa, hang on. Of course. Listen, the Big Macs and chicken nuggets on Trump's plane are frankly the best. Well, and they don't come free. Somebody's got to pay for it. Even RFK Jr. is eating them now.

hmm yeah so i ended up with five static ips too oh oh man dang you could set up a little data center who says i'm not there you go it's all gonna serve jar jar binks memes sure yeah nobody else will so somebody's got to do it yeah see yeah i don't know why you're like that but chris 600 episodes oh man congratulations dude that's pretty awesome congratulations to you of fully bad advice
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
It doesn't seem to work. Well, do I have a solution for you? Go ahead and write sales at themadbotter.com or, you know, just go to alice.dev. Also, Chris suppressed. He censored you. You sent in two notes. Oh, I did? Oh, you're right. Oh, God. Oh, I missed that.

600: Mikestrodamus
You're supposed to. Go ahead. Go on, let's go. Suck on some Jar Jar Sats. Notice which one he misses. I did.

Today's Coder Radio is brought to you by the little bulls**t. All right, I sucked on those sats.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
Real-world question, Chris, on the boosts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do they have to use Fountain to set the profile? If they're using Fountain to boost. Okay, but what if, can they do it on the web and have a profile name instead of like user three, seven, whatever?
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
I think you should change your username, though, to TheCoderProf. That would be good. Or, ready? GunganProf. CodeProf? Something Jar Jar related. GunganCodeProf? That's very long, though.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
See, me and Wes had a long Pydantic, not a joke, it's a real Python library, conversation last night. We should monetize that. We should, like, print T-shirts of me and Wes going back and forth on Python libraries. Yeah.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
It was me, you jackass. I don't remember. Oh, yeah. Chris is like, I've been using this forever. I love it. I love it. You see, the boss takes over. See what happens? Yeah.

is it's just a pip package right or poetry if you prefer yes yeah yeah you can run this locally so if you don't want to share your documents with some weird third party or cloud vendor or hell microsoft themselves you run this baby on your local computer your own server your hell i i shouldn't say this i'm running on a bunch of raspberry pis

I will dunk on it a little. So the OCR on images is pretty... Not so good? Yeah. It's not great. I think we have a lot of dark matter devs, right? A lot of things end up as Excel files. Yeah. It's just... God damn it.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
You know what, Chris? You know what? They expect the Jar Jar, but you know what they're getting?
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
Well, Markdown's smaller, and it's – so this library doesn't do it, and I might be giving away a little bit of secret sauce I'm doing for somebody. But Markdown is effectively a universal data format. So you can go back from Markdown to, let's say, Excel or let's say a structured database or, you know, if you really want to get fancy presentation, write a PowerPoint presentation.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
Well, it's an open. I mean, kidding aside, it's an open data format that anybody can use and there's no licensing encumbrance. So.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
And Scott Guthrie is ready to help you. I don't even know if Scott Guthrie actually does the stuff at Microsoft right now.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
You could go to alice.dev or, because it's the holidays, why don't you enjoy some Babylon 5? Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
Well, I mean, obviously, you got to go with the one with Mr. Freeze. I think it's season two, episode three, if I'm not mistaken. It's called the Shadow War. Mr. Freeze, who is a, what do they call them? Oh my God, Shadow Mage, something like that, explains to the humans that like, yeah, we're all going to die soon. Because aliens. Yeah. Also, never trust a Centauri.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
I mean, I'm pretty sure Captain Picard doesn't feel it was a great holiday experience. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
So a quarter radio bet here. Yeah. We're going to take one week off. Something major is going to happen.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
I think Sam Altman, and this is my bet, Sam Altman and Elon go into the octagon to settle the differences.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
Chevron 600 is a lock, baby. Stargate all the way. Although, as is performed, we did not check if the dial home device was operable on the other side. So everybody dies at the end.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
I mean, you and I, Chris, I hope you're not offended. You and I are kind of more portly fellows. We're bigger dudes. Yeah, yeah. So I think Elon is a brother in this as well. So maybe Elon's dressed like Santa Claus, and Sam Altman, let's be honest, that man is either the Heatmiser or an elf.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
Well, elves can be vampires too, right? So he could be a dark elf for all our Baldur's Gate 3 players out there. Yeah. I'm sure I'm wrong on the lore. I think – and somebody please send me D&D. I think there is like vampire elves, right? It's a thing. I'm going to say yes. I mean now how he's going to make up that – what is it now? Like $17 million? Oh, yeah. There's a – oh, yeah.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
And also the other big feature they're pushing in VS 2022, the kind of AI code assistant thing. I don't like GitHub CodePilot. I don't want that built into my editor. I have lots of concerns about potential license violations if they regurgitate GPL code.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
It's just not the kind of thing I would rather just better IntelliSense via, you know, semantic, just like the normal semantic crap that all these code completion things have been using forever. Not AI scanning open GitHub repos. That's my soapbox. I know people are excited about it.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
We haven't talked about that in a while. Well, I think they kind of fixed it, right? Yeah, yeah. And also, I think not using something like CodePilot at this point is actually putting you and, frankly, your clients or customers at a disadvantage. Ooh, I like this hot take. All right, so I wasn't going to do anything new today, but I guess I'll share something new.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
My main use for Copilot and my $200 chat GPT sub is asking it for libraries that are the correct licenses that do things I need to do. Oh, interesting. Yeah. it is far more efficient than I could ever be searching GitHub. Huh. Yeah.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
It's a very boring use, but it actually saves me a ton of time because usually it gives you the library, then it produces like a sample of like, if you want to integrate this with, you know, FastAPI, because I told it I use FastAPI.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
Chris, if you and I keep making nice with the natives, our child support bills are going to be astronomical. We've got to stop with the natives. Yeah, especially those intergalactic fees they put on those. Oh, my God. This is why Bitcoin needs to be a thing, just to avoid those transit fees. Right.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
Yeah, I thought it was like a dumb toy. We did it. Honestly, it was one of our little, okay, we need content. Let's just throw it in.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
I sort of feel like this is either one of those things that I'm just going to completely be wrong about. I don't get it. I get the concept, but everybody that I follow and that follows me or whatever on Twitter is all pissed off about this. I don't understand why. It's a kind of bad idea that isn't working super well. And there may be some licensing issues. I don't know. I'm not an attorney.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
I personally don't understand how there could be. But like, oh, it reproduced a stupid bad code. Well, yeah, it's just regurgitating code that's public available on GitHub. What idiot would copy pasta code from GitHub or Stack Overflow? Every developer ever is the right answer to that question. But we all pretend like we don't. So like, I don't know. Is it, I mean, could it be useful? Maybe.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
I don't. Honestly, I did not install it. So this is one of those things like maybe I'm completely missing the boat. I mean, my judgment's been so good with Windows 8 and Metro.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
And I'm flying with my drunken robotic friend. You signed up. You actually signed up. I paid for a year. And this is the dumbest pair programming partner I've ever had.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
My stepdaughter is agency. She's 14. And she introduced me to the phrase YOLO. And you know what? If there's anything that. Our friend Alex, listening to all the Coder Radios, might learn. I seem to, without saying it, be very YOLO. And you know what? I wanted to see how good this Codepilot is. Let me tell you something. It's pretty f***ing bad. Really? Is it pretty? Is it like dumb?
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
Just like bad code? It's like the drunkest junior developer I've ever met. And let me tell you something. Having been a very drunk junior developer myself in the past, I don't understand what I paid for.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
No, because the only thing I'm using it for is a video game I'm running for my son. Well, I can't say video game. It's a Minecraft mod because my son has very sadly picked up the Pokemon problem, but he wasn't happy with just regular drugs. He had to go to fentanyl. And when I say fentanyl, I mean Minecraft. Yeah, boy, that is. That is the good stuff. And now he wants to code some mods.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
That's bullshit too. But yeah, it's gotten better. You know what the worst part of that clip was for me? What? My son just told me that my Visual Studio code theme sucks because it's been three years, and he's exploring his own for his Python-powered Minecraft mods. You really need your own dedicated environment for that kind of thing. You know what I gave him? Carl will be happy. What's that?
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
That's a good kid machine. Sure, absolutely. Good kid machine. 16 gigs of RAM. It's a couple years old, but AMD processor. Makes it nice and easy. Remember, if you only care about Minecraft for some weird... Children, I don't get it. I didn't get it three years ago when that clip was recorded. I still don't get it. It's Legos. But you know what?
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
My kid is like... Okay, so... I'm taking a tangent here. We're solidly, right?
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
yeah you know you worry about your son on the internet right he's got a web browser um because i want to torture him i'm making him use firefox sure good good yeah it's also the default on uh oh also side side though uh the poor bastard is not on cosmic because this machine is that old and it's an lts so he's got another year to go
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
Oh, well, I thought we weren't going to talk about that because I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
okay but i do you want to do the upgrades no no no no i look i'm like he's in firefox what's he doing he's on pi pi looking at different minecraft powered python packages that is rad wow My man, like he's going to be nine years old in a few months. I think he sleeps and when he snores, he says PIP3 install.
Coder Radio
600: Mikestrodamus
On episode 600? Well, fine. I'll nuke your feelings. I'll nuke it from orbit. Let's do it.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
Also, first of all, I have tremendous faith in our audience's ability to do all kinds of hacking. So I guarantee you, not only could they do it, Chinese government, if you're looking to hire somebody, the Coder Radio audience, you couldn't find better people.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
You know, if you're a troll and you're listening to this next week, you got to go in the jobs chat and have like a panda bear with a red flag being like, hello, Coder Radio people. Yeah, there you go. No, it's, it just, okay, so I can, I briefly did a contract for one of the telcos. It was a stupid thing, but it was a stupid mobile thing for them.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
And the level of we're not changing anything or updating anything unless we're getting paid for it is strong with these guys.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
Well, and it's also a cost center for them. Oh, for sure. So their incentive is to be like, oh, we have to comply with the stupid government thing. Let's just like give them an open thing so they can look themselves, which is how it works. Yeah. Right.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
So I'm just, you know, it's really this is one of those cases where whoever decided this was a good idea either didn't understand technology enough to know what would happen, which seems super likely. I'm going to assume incompetence or didn't care.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
Well, that's true. 30 years ago, the risk would have been more like physical security. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Like the AT&T guy gets blackmailed and goes in and steals the data. I mean, that would be.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
Yeah. Most of that is basically the read any – you're an entrepreneur, but you don't know how to do sales because you're like a – well, a developer, right? This is how you do sales. Of course you want to focus on your enthusiastic early adopters who took a risk on you when nobody else did. Of course focusing on one niche, right? That's basically what he's saying by focusing down.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
It's the only way if you're a small shop because you don't have the resources to go wide and it doesn't make sense to do it anyway. Focusing on a geographical area, I could see how that would make sense because, again, you have limited wood to put behind the arrows. The only one I thought was a little weird is you won't attend a conference that you're not a speaker at.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
That's like, yeah, all right. That's kind of like, do you know who I am? I don't know. I don't think that is necessarily true.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
I mean, I don't know how I feel about that from a practical perspective, because if you want to really manage a properly manage an open source project, that's a lot of work. And you're you're unless it's something like really fundamental, like you're the guy who invented jQuery, your ROI. I just don't think it's going to be there.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
It can be a piece of your product. Or you could be like, you know, insert project here. We'll just use our pals at Docker as an example. Open source your product and have Amazon capture a bunch of the value.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
I can give another example, MongoDB, right? MongoDB will love to sell you Mongo enterprise stuff, right? But how many people just using MongoDB and their node app are actually even like in the ballpark of being Mongo enterprise customers? I would say 0.01% maybe.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
I would argue in many cases there that just won't be a thing.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
Yeah, this is a misunderstanding of how open source generally works. One, I mean, if you're able to market your open source product such that it's generating sales for you, I would argue that your energy would have been better spent just marketing your core product because you're really good at marketing and sales.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
They may not know. Yeah. Right. That's that's a great point. The person developing the end application may be pulling some other, I don't know, NPM library that pulls another one that pulls yours and have no idea who the hell you are.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
Wes is right. He's in the chat saying this sounds like LinkedIn lunatics more and more. This is the kind of crap you get like somebody's LinkedIn article post.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
You still have to develop the entire open source utility.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
We could do a segment. This is the – you know, I've been getting some real whoppers. I shit you not. So this is – we're doing a double because of Hurricane Milton today. I know I'm breaking the illusion. Someone had the balls to send me an email trying to get me to buy their offshore development services, which is a thing I don't do. What kind of – what's the pitch there? What's the – Oh, no.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
Are you ready? Here you go. Dear Mr. Dominic, I want to extend my deepest sympathy. Not sympathy. It's just sympathy. But fine. You know, I'll take it. It's a minor. Uh, to you and your family and the whole firm at Mad Botter. Cool. I want to know that I'm happy to help my firm offers. And it's just the normal list of like, here's our $20 an hour offshore or whatever it is, uh, development rates.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
Um, I hit the spam button with a sledgehammer. I couldn't take it. That's some scummy stuff right there. And I am sure that's regular email. So this person took the time to get my email. I guarantee you, and I know they don't listen to the show because they spelled Dominic wrong and they spelled Mad Bonner wrong. But my LinkedIn messages...
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
are going to be – if this is the new tactic, whatever scummy sales tactic is the new thing, I keep getting it. I don't know. I'm just pitching in, Moni, but leveraging a natural disaster that puts people's families in harm's way as – That's a certain kind of cynical.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
You watched Wall Street and were like, Gordon Gekko makes a ton of sense to me. I don't understand what the deal is with this movie. Yeah.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
It's online mostly. I have the generator. We talked about this just two weeks ago when there was another game. I have my Verizon Jump thing. They don't call it Jump anymore. It's like a MiFi, but a hotspot. I know what you mean. The first one I bought was called Isis, hilariously. Yeah, I remember that. They quickly changed that. Yes.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
So I'm kind of like prepared, but I could see like I'm sure I'm not the only one who got this email. Right. I bet there's a couple of people who got it like that want to throttle this guy.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
So this is Mike's scumbag of the week. It should be a new segment.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
You know, but just don't send emails trying to sell things with natural disasters. And then go to alice.dev if you're experiencing a great day where we can help with your ETL and automation needs.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
And usually, and I remember we had to throw one out because the audio was so good. Yeah, it happens. That happens too. That's why we don't do guests. Yeah.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
So, yeah, it's kind of a tough thing, right? I mean, I agree with everything you're saying about backups and historical, you know, keeping the history of these games. I would also add, just as an aside, this problem of keeping the history of these games and like preserving them.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
is there's actually a much worse problem and that's all that all these games are now live service games yeah service is turned off the game your disc or your digital copy or whatever you have is effectively you know broke right your DVD or blu-ray is a is a coaster
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
Going to make that hard. Yeah. I can't say that I 100% agree with Nintendo's hyper-aggressive actions and, frankly, you know, Godfather-style tactics here.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
I definitely see it with the switch. And I also like it. It's nice to talk about the historical preservation stuff. I would be willing to bet if somehow you did a real investigation, it's the vast majority of it's just piracy. It's gotta be right. It's gotta be just people who want to not pay for the games.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
Oh, for sure. For sure. So, you know, I don't know. It's one of the – if you're doing one of these projects – You know, this isn't like a new development, right? Nintendo has been, I mean, Nintendo didn't want people to post YouTube reviews of their games.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
Put a tiny little machine in there. No, because $14.99 a month is more money. And if you want access to those games, you're paying it in perpetuity.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
And also it looks better for the markets because the way they – I mean this is wild, right? This is like inside baseball. But generally the way that revenue is valued for valuations, recurring revenue is better.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
I mean, I can tell you what the other side is going to say. What? I'd love to try to steel man this. I'll steel man it. The next time, first of all, we'll do our normal joke. Think of the children.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
Or election interference. Yeah, I think they'll go with the terrorism stuff first, but yeah. We talk about this all the time. Every couple months this comes up, right? If your goal, if your stated aim is to prevent all crime, right, you're going to have this stuff and it's going to cause all kinds of trouble.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
Well, police have been policing since Grog, the third caveman, was like, hey, we need one of us to stop the other cavemen from stealing things and attacking the women and children or whatever. Even back then, there were cave paintings that said, think of the children, I bet, right? So it's bull, right?
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
Police used to be able to do policing without all this technical wizardry and constant surveillance. And you know what they had to do instead of relying on technology? And same thing for civil cases, like, oh, I have the text messages. You actually have to do some detective work, right?
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
You have to actually gather evidence, interview witnesses, and not just, you know, get a couple of keystrokes and say, well, you put this, especially if you look at places like our good friends in the UK, who were now like, you know, that angry drunk text you sent might now be a felony. It's really, that is a thing that happens in the UK. Yeah. I hate all of this. This was bound to happen.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
The worst part is this was happening apparently for a long time, and you're just hearing about it now.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
If I'm a Chinese spook here... Because none of this is anonymized, right? So you could just go through and find particular people you'd like to put pressure on. Like, hey, Mr. Executive at a company that has valuable IP we'd like to, you know, research we'd like to exploit. So that's a pretty cute college girl you got there that you see every other week. Be a shame if your wife found out. Sure.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
Much like, or hell, you're Nintendo, right? What an interesting GitHub project you were texting about.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
I've gotten to the point where maybe this is just like, you know what? The cops were able to do their job before. The feds were able to do their jobs before. I think everything – they should write a law. There should be a regulation here. The regulation is end-to-end encryption becomes mandatory. Right. And no one can get to it.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
And then there will be risk and there will be cases and you will have, you know, pearls being clutched. But it's better than how many years was this going on? How much data, sensitive data, right? Personal stuff. Maybe you're a military officer and you're secretly gay. How many of these do we even find out about? Right. The case I just made happened.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
The government, Sisyphus, I always say wrong, stopped Grindr from selling itself to foreign investors because they're like, look, man, you could say whatever. This is like 2022. But that is a blackmail vector. So, this is terrible. This is why the backdoors should not only not exist, it should be illegal, everything should be end-to-end encrypted.
Coder Radio
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
And we just, we have to go back to understanding that you can't, it's like if you live in Florida, right? You want to create a hole in your house to get a better breeze. Great, but the snakes and the gators can get in there too.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Well, that's what it felt like, right? It felt like they had to have an AI story. And we talked about this in our DubDub episode, too. And right now, whether this makes a whole lot of sense or not, Wall Street analysts want you to be talking about AI. So this is very, we're, you know, this is very, we're in the beanie babies, right? We're in the fad.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
That's not to say all AI is fake or anything like that, but. It's pretty clear that Apple threw this together pretty recently, right? As we record, this is the day after the event, their stock's down. Right. I don't really have much on this topic. I feel like if you want a phone, get a phone. But there's nothing earth-shattering in these.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
I do feel like if you want to fry the bacon, the Cupertino Apple Smoked Bacon... What really, in my opinion, happened here is they had a whole multi-year AR roadmap laid out.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
That's why the cameras and the pros are so balling, right? It was going to be that the iPhone Pro is now your content creation device for the Apple Vision Pro. Yes. And la-di-la-di-la. Well, that fell right on its face. And they had to do a hard pivot for Wall Street. They had to do a hard pivot because Sam Altman came out and, you know, kind of repositioned OpenAI as a...
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Though technically not a commercial company at the moment, it's still owned by the nonprofit. There's lots of whispers that there's going to be some chicanery to change that. And that, you know, like you said, it basically put a bee in Wall Street's bonnet, and they needed a story about AI. So they made this weird partnership with ChatGPT, which is really not a whole lot, right?
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
And they're doing Apple AI, okay. But they're not doing anything. I mean, it's a little weird, too, right? You could think they're the platform vendor, and one of the biggest complaints of iOS power users is how siloed apps are.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
The obvious but perhaps like really technically challenging thing with even their own internal architecture thing for them to do would be to basically make, I think they call it workflows on iOS now. You can like have apps like, you know, basically Unix pipes, right? Pipe data to one each other. Have Siri be able to just do that.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
For instance, I got the Overcast update and for about a week I was very unhappy with it because it kept crashing and I listened to a lot of podcasts.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
It feels like ADA bait, right? That's what that was. The ADA stands for Apple Design Awards for folks who didn't spend a decade doing iOS development. And it would have been very nice to say, hey, Siri, get the data, the OPL file, the OPL file from Overcast and shunt it to like, I don't know, Pocket Cast or something.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Or Fountain, I guess, or whatever. Yeah, there you go. The problem is, one, Overcast took out the ability to export the OPNL file, which I feel like that wasn't a lot of code. And I kind of feel like, hmm, you took this out when you were launching what you probably knew was an unstable update. It's a very Mike Dominic move. I got to give it to you, Marco. That's something I would do. I mean...
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Yeah, I mean, this will be in court for 10 years if they actually go for the breakup, right?
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
I mean, make you be patient. Because it's obviously fixed now, right? I'm still using it day to day. I'm a premium customer. But the first week, week and a half, two weeks was pretty touching. Yeah. So still a good app. If you are looking for an iOS podcast app and you don't want to do whatever, it's fine.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
it it it would have been great for siri to be able to handle that kind of thing for me what a dream yeah apple just really feels that those walls around each individual app silo have to be manned by snipers and with a gator filled moat straight from tallahassee so i don't i guess we can't have that but yeah i i feel like the it's like it is a big story but it's only big because of how like where's the beef right there's nothing there's no there there this one
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Yeah, it's a level of, I think maybe calling it vapor is a little too spicy, but I'll call it vapor.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
I mean, you know, all roads lead to what to investor relations here.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
But, Chris, those colors are pretty on the non-Pro version. Yeah. Nice job with the case.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Yeah, I mean, I could see me, of all the things they announced, I might pick up, or I think I'm pretty likely to pick up, is I'm running Gen 1 AirPods, and I use them all the time. Yeah, yeah. Again, for my podcasts, such as Linux Unplugged.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
I know, but it feels... The only thing that I think is a little unnecessarily Tim Cookie about these AirPods... $50 for noise canceling on the same line? I mean, come on.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
I don't know. I just... I wonder if... Like, I also have a pair of the AirPod Max, and I used to use them more... I mean, they're fine, right? I will agree, like, for over-the-head headphones, they're probably the best ones I have. Good for music. Really great. Right. But the reality is, I usually have, like, one AirPod of, like, the, you know, Gen 1 in because I'm...
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
I see. Well, my stepdaughter went through a gossip girl phase, so then you put both AirPods. Maybe I will get the active noise canceling.

I'll have to see one of these in person because, again, I have the 14 Pro Max, whatever it's called. And at least in the demo, which you would think the demo would be the cat's pajamas, right? I didn't feel like I got to go get this.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Now, maybe I could be compelled because I have Verizon and sometimes they're like, hey, it's been two years. Then, yeah, I will get it.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
See, I guess maybe it's where I am. I just don't have the call problems.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Yeah, that is pretty sweet. All right, so what if you're not loyal to the Apple ecosystem? What if you're surfing the WSL wave, Mike? Yeah, so to celebrate the end of summer and to, frankly, make better use of this ridiculously over-spec Dell I have here, I decided to give WSL a shot again.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
I did. Oh, wow. So the image is of Tux surfing on top of something with like a vaguely Microsoft Windows-esque logo on it. Yes. Yeah.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
You know, we've talked about it before. I think it might be a year ago. And it's certainly come a long way to the point where so far, about a weekend, it is 100% usable. The biggest hiccup I hit was actually trying to, and this isn't WSL, this is just Windows.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
When I was trying to get on the air, I was trying to get on the air on the Dell, and Chrome kept saying, your Windows is blocking the microphone. So I went to do what Chrome said, and it didn't help. So that's probably – Rough edges for those kinds of things.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Well, and I have a suspicion that it's the way, because I plugged in the Zoom 22 into the front of the Dell via USB-C that I use for the Mac. I bet had I ran it behind the desk into like a regular USB-A port, I just have this feeling it would have not been done. But we're talking about WSL, not Windows in general. We should just take a quick detour, right? So Windows is fine, right?
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
PowerShell is, I would say... Pretty good now, even though I don't use it much at all. They have fixed, and you can read DHS's post about this too, text rendering is no longer terrible on Windows until you get into some of those older applications that look like a dead turkey. And WSL, so there's still two modes. There's WSL 1, which is like the translation layer.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Think of it like wine, but Windows to Linux almost. Kind of slow. The only real big advantage is that working with the Windows file system is faster. What you really want, and what most people are talking about when they talk about WSL today, is WSL 2, which is running a full big daddy tux Linux kernel inside of Windows.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
It does more stuff. And a lot of, I'm jumping ahead a little bit here, but a lot of the IDE vendors, such as, you know, I love my JetBrains tools, right, have strong WSL support now.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Where it's like two-click setup for, I'm using PyCharm and RubyMine, of course. Really easy setup. CLion has good integrations.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Yeah, VS Code does some weird stuff. It automatically configures itself if you install their plugin, and it will sometimes launch a Linux version of VS Code or VS Code in a Linux email for you if you type code into WSL.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Yeah, so if you want the I-want-to-do-no configuration of an IDE whatsoever, Visual Studio Code is your buddy. It's there for you.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Yeah, well, I kind of think it might be why VS Code exists, to be honest with you. It's really... You know, I did take a quick walk on the VS Code site again, and they are... they really want to make it easy for you to go from like VS code to get hub to deployed.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
And there's all kinds of little Microsoft published helpers for that. So take that for what it's worth, right? You know, you just, how tightly you want to be in that ecosystem.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
I know you're a Penguin guy. So I did two. I did Penguin, but I ended up writing the post. I'm going to do a more in-depth one later with Ubuntu for the simple fact that Ubuntu is free.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
And most of the tutorials that I think beginners will find are going to be for Ubuntu. Okay.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
So you don't have to run it at startup either. Right, okay, right. I mean, I don't notice it. I also have 128 gigs of RAM on my machine. By default, it only allows it to take up to 50% of the RAM on your system.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
That's all. In your system, that's still a ridiculous amount of RAM. Well, right. There's a config file where you can override that if you're insane. But I have noticed no performance lag. Again, 128 gigs of RAM. Yeah, yeah.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
So I haven't done, I don't do my dev environments in Docker. I deploy to Docker for staging and production. So I have not, but that is definitely something I should look into.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
So there's two things. Let me just jump to the Docker thing real quick too. Yeah, so there's other ways to use Docker, right? You could do like Doku or Docker Compose where like Voltron's up the Docker container on the server, which is basically what I do. Okay. So the advantage is, well, you know, that $1,500 Mac Studio display I bought? About two years ago? Yeah. Hmm. decided to die.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Oh, so this is more of a rage trial. I see. I see. Um, no, but there are, there are legitimate advantages, right? Like, so I do have, um, windows applications that I still support. I have, uh, you know, some game stuff that I'm doing gaming and game dev stuff that is just easier on windows right now. And I gotta be honest with you. Like I'm going to be redoing my little home office.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Cause I just, I grabbed a monitor I had in the garage and, The prices on non-Apple stuff, I know this is going to come as I told you so from a lot of our commenters. There's just a whole world of affordable things out there in every shape and size.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
I can also upgrade this Dell thing. I think it can go up to 256 gigs, which is ridiculous.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Yeah, so, I mean, a couple, you know, I do like the PC game. Proton has come a long way. Lutris is great. We've talked about them both in the show. It still is a lot easier just to, like, you know, have it native on Windows, especially if you play, like, online RTSs, which I do quite a bit recently. Those stupid, what do they call them? Not DRM. Anti-cheats. Oh, God. Anti-cheats.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
For some reason, they must be something I'm doing. They just hate Lutris.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Yeah. I mean, I will say, I mean, this isn't the Windows Action Show. Windows 11 isn't that. It just isn't. And it sounds like the dev story you think is pretty solid. The dev story is solid. Now, maybe, like, so far I haven't hit anything. Maybe I will hit some crazy situation. My one big hurdle, but this was user error,
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
was you really, if you're going to be working your dev environment in WSL, just keep your code in the Linux file system. Don't try to cross the streams. Performance sucks crossing the streams. There's weird pathing issues as it tries to convert Windows paths to Linux paths or Unix paths, rather. Yeah, that's just not good. I kind of don't care for the GUI features.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Like, this is Penguin super big into this. And I know most of the mainstream distros have added this, too, where you could just launch GUI apps from WSL Linux versions like full X11 server. I guess that's cool if you need one of them. I'm mostly using it basically as the Unix. Right. You know, the POSIX stuff, the Linux command line. Right. With Windows native Linux.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Jetbrain IDEs because that's what I've used for work using the WSL SDKs as the remote interpreters remote in quotes because it's you know not in fact remote right it's a couple file system jumps away yeah and the idea sort of slash hope there is kind of like best of both worlds I suppose Yeah, the only other hiccup I've had is RuboCop, which is, I'm trying to think what, like a flake?
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
It's a linter. It's even slower in WSL. Oh, sure, yeah. I bet some things would be, wouldn't they? I figured it out, and I actually ended up asking JetBrains about it. It is not RuboCop. It is the round trip it has to take for the way they have, at most IDs, integrated into the editor. And they were able to show me you can prove it if you just go into Terminal on WSL.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
and run the command manually that it's running, it's just as fast as you'd expect. That feels like a tooling thing where I would not be shocked if RubyMine couldn't fix that. I did spin up a VS Code instance in Windows that had Ruby support. But targeting WSL again, right? It did not have this performance issue for RuboCop.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
But it notably doesn't have the automatic, like you could just click and be like, accept this recommendation. So I think there's something about the way they've implemented that that causes an issue. But that is a tiny, tiny gripe. And also sometimes RubyCop suggests crazy crap.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Or things that are technically, quote, the Ruby way, but make your code indecipherable to anyone who hasn't been learning under Mr. Kane for a while. Is it Dr. Kane? Father Kane? He's just an old dude, right? I don't know.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
I feel like I should know that. I bet he's like a monk or something, yeah.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Mandatory WSL. Yeah. I believe Arch Linux is available, too, so you could really. There you go. There you go. I like the way you're thinking.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
I may be wrong. Yeah, we'll see what happens. I mean, you know, it's interesting the businesses they're talking about splitting out. When, if I think of, you know, self-sustaining businesses at Google, I would think of YouTube, obviously. And then actually maybe the not, I think, discussed enough Google App Engine, which is like their AWS or Azure.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
That's actually a great point, right? They used to literally make videos coming out and saying, you know, this is just like your Apache web server, man. Come on. Hey, here's XServe. You can run Apache. So when you're doing your Java – remember Java was the hotness, your Java development. It's just like the – it's the same environment that you're going to be running in production. So – and –
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Yeah, they even tried to supplant my beloved Objective-C with Joth at one point, but we smoked Duke down.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
But Chrome, I don't know how Chrome could possibly live on its own.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Well, also it's the salience of the false positive. You probably see more ads in a day than you think and you just remember or take note of the ones that seem eerie to you.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Also, your browser agent also gives you away. If you are, I don't know, a Mac user using Safari on a pretty nice machine, they have a profile of guys who are within a certain age group, a certain demographic, who are Apple users, right? Yeah. Honestly, that's how podcasting ads work, too. You figure out who your audience is. I mean, Chris, tell me if I'm way off base. You're right.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
And you sell them things that stereotypically they would probably buy.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Right. It's a lead generation tactic. I mean, you know, definitely be concerned about how much you're tracked. But just like take a minute and read an article about lithium-ion batteries. Hell, read the Wikipedia. Yeah. then you will understand why this is not happening anytime soon.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
I mean, we should go, but the real bacon one I'll just let folks hear about. Your credit card company, depending on who it is, many of them are doing this now, are actually tracking your transactions and selling data to advertisers.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
So that means you don't have to even be online. You could simply go to Publix or, I don't know, Kroger's, I don't know where you are. And they'll be like, huh, this person seems to be trying out vegetarianism this month. Right.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
No, they admitted it. Yeah. I have a cap one card and they're like, hey, we're going to be selling all your. Mm hmm. Yeah. So it's. Yeah.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Right. If you are like a Moldavian scientist who solved the cold fusion, great. You've done it. Yeah, you could probably pull this off.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
We'll figure it out. I got like one last hurrah. Oh, we would be remiss if we didn't say rest in peace to Lord Vader. Oh, right.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Yeah, it would be interesting, right? Because then it would also compete with Google search and other people have discussed this possibility. But like I said, if there is anything like that suggested, it will be Oracle versus Google level appeals.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Well, I would say that there are Buddhist monks of the audience, right?
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
Yeah, I mean, you know, I'll just give my general impressions, right? All these iPhones are basically performance bumps from the 15. I'm on a 14 Pro Max, whatever. I am still, you know, I'm toying with it. I'm not sure I'm going to upgrade.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
No, I don't see that drawing me to upgrading. I think about what I do on my phone. I use it as a phone. Shocker right now. I listen to podcasts and audiobooks and check my email. Oh, and I take pictures of my kid. Now, honestly, the most compelling thing is the camera stuff on the new Pros. Yeah, cameras are better for sure.
Coder Radio
587: Surfing the WSL Wave
But is that worth me, you know, having a phone payment or dropping whatever it's going to cost?
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
All right, I got one that's pretty bad. It's been bad on multiple levels. All right. My just general hatred of Swift when it came out.
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
One, irrational. Two, it actually didn't matter in a lot of ways, right?
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
calm and let's just say uh i don't know how you say thoughtful person would have been well it doesn't matter because the trend is is and was always going to be a lot of the enterprise type development i do was going to end up you know relying on web standards rather than uh native development or any of the shims like xamarin okay that's i guess that's not like a cringe take it's just wrong right
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
You know, is it a rug pull? I don't know. I mean, they weren't official, right? They were kind of just there. I don't think, at least I couldn't find anything where Tesla came out and said that they were going to support these APIs. Yeah. For third-party use.
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
Yeah, isn't that always the case? Especially starting out a project like this, maybe it's your first of your own, I don't know. You're more likely to languish in obscurity than to get Sherlocked. Yeah. I mean, I still lean towards permissive licenses. I've heard some good arguments and I've seen some successful projects.
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
Now this is, I might be messed up here, but the LGPL4 has like a, it could be the LGPL4 or the LGPL3. I always screw them up. But has a way where you could make it like kind of copy left so that you can't just get Sherlocked. Again, I think that's not a huge risk in most cases. but it gives you the ability to do proprietary-ish things, which you might want to do.
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
I tend to still, I know this is lame, I still tend to use, I think the last thing I did was like Apache license.
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
It has the Google problem, right? How many pages do you have to go before you see a non-Google property on most searches now?
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
Thank you for the boost. Was it because he was just like being slightly disruptive?
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
Now it doesn't come up anymore. He's a kid. I don't know. Yeah, I mean, I have no direct experience with this with my child, but I know one of his pals is on it now, and the poor kid's a zombie.
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
Yeah, that's tough. It's a shitty situation all around. This is the risk you always run when you're building on top of somebody else's API.
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
Um... I think we're going to get more practical applications for it, which might be less sexy for the non-techie media.
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
So, I'm trying to think of how to put this correctly. It's going to be actually more useful, but maybe less, you know, Jim Cramer's, well, Jim Cramer will yell about anything, but, you know, CNBC is not going to be freaking out about it as much. I do worry a little that the massive expenditures that particularly OpenAI is taking, I mean, that's a big old nut to crack.
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
So, I mean, I guess they're going to get there 200 at a time, right? I don't know.
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
It just seems like a strange... I mean, are they implying that because they want to meet people, potential dating, I guess?
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
I don't know. I don't know. I can't see a case where I want to go back to the office.
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
Go check out alice.dev, and you can find me at Dumanuku on all the socials. I have not been posting much, so it's been great.
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
Yeah, it's interesting because – One, it's going to be imperfect no matter what, but it would be interesting to see someone in a position of power. If we're going to have some kind of regulation, be an advocate for the open source models rather than, you know, not. Now, you know, when the rubber meets the road, where does he really land, right? Who knows, right? This is all new.
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
This is all, it's kind of exciting. It's a lot of it's to be determined. It's also the federal government.
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
Right, how much can they actually do, right? I mean, open AI doesn't seem to be slowing down. They just got my $200.
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
Well, in a lot of ways, Elon ended up doing a better version of what Sam was trying to do, right? He got cozied up to the folks in power by taking what some might have called a long shot on Trump. It's going to make life hard for Altman, right?
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
It will be interesting to see if OpenAI starts to signal some more friendliness to the incoming administration. I think one easy way to do that that's not that impactful, but is more of a signaling move, would be to loosen ChatGPT's... Let's try to say this in a non-controversial way, but some of it's more pearl clutching norms. Sensitivity.
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
Yeah, I mean, I would strongly consider flipping that switch to be a little more free-for-all and then making a big splash, a PR splash. You're going to get pilloried by your California friends. But yeah, I would certainly be scared if Elon Musk is Grima Wormtongue into Trump's ear and I'm open AI, considering the just massive amounts of money they're burning.
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
So, I mean, it takes longer to respond to me, which I guess is their way of showing surfacing the additional processing. Yeah. But the answers are roughly the same and it still has what I would consider the same gaps that the pro version has.
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
I mean, I am going to stick with it for a month and see where I land. But I, you know, because like I have it doing a lot of like the marketing stuff, right? Just like, you know, here's an ad I want to do for Alice and I just make me like five variants and I manually check them and tweak them. But there you go. Huh, okay. I do ask it coding questions.
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
It still has this weird black hole with Doku and some Rails stuff that I don't understand where I guess it's just a bias of the information that it has is so heavily skewed towards other solutions.
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
Yeah, I think it's better. So I found ChatGPT to always be much better at Python than Ruby. But I think they made an effort to make it good at Python, right?
Coder Radio
599: GPU Game Theory
I'm doing more complicated things with it. I'm definitely leaning pretty heavy on the business side because it's the kind of work that's expensive for me to outsource or to hire in for. You know how it is, man, right? You run a campaign, and if the campaign fails... It's nice to not have paid some consultant five grand to set that up, right?
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
But if you are someone trying to build some sort of boutique AI thing for a specific customer base, your startup, whatever, three grand is not... It's actually pretty reasonable to get in. So I think that I could understand how that's something the Wall Street crowd would totally overlook, but I could see them moving quite a lot of those. I don't know.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
I thought that was a pretty impressive announcement. Now, I always take NVIDIA with a little bit of salt.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
I mean, on the bright side. New GPUs means older GPUs should be cheaper.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
I mean, yeah, they're spending so much money, right? This has been my hobby horse every time we talk about this, is, okay, are we just going to... I mean, not that people don't IPO without being profitable, and not that that's not the norm these days, but it sure feels like... These numbers, you know, sometimes the math isn't mathing.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
No, I mean, this is a product that has a specific customer that is, if you believe any of the big tech sites, is the growth market right now. And surely, I still think there will be a few startups that do a niche AI product.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
And I can't think of a better way to just have an out-of-the-box, bam, I'm up and running, ready to rock on the important part of being a business, which is your own stuff, right? Getting your product ready, not tinkering with... It's setting up your workstation or, God forbid, having to pay AWS for a bunch of GPUs or whatever the hell.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Oh, yeah. If you're doing AI, you're going to go CUDA, I think.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Well, right. Google, I believe, is still out there trying to make their own AI chips, right? It's still a thing. I know they're not talking about it much. I think Microsoft was too. Did they give up on that?
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Translation, we're going to get out of this Microsoft deal within Trump's term.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Yes. As long as I'm back from New York, I will do that.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Well, we had the story a couple, I think, right before the holidays, right, where there's a little bit of friction between Redmond and wherever the hell OpenAI actually is.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
MacGyver's great. You know what? I like every time they reference that Dean Anderson was, in fact, MacGyver.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
I don't know how to feel about this one there, Magnolia.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
That is a really bad game, though. I actually had that game.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
I mean, I... I kind of got to say no notes on this one because that has been my experience for like a decade now. Every time I hire junior people, and some of them I'm still friendly with after they left, but it always ends up being, Yeah, they're not making what a more experienced person would make, but by the time they're really productive, they're gone.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
When I say really productive, I mean not blowing shit up. I used to have better luck before work from home and remote work. When I used to tell people, oh, we're semi-remote back when we were in Jersey. Well, I used to have to defend that.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Yeah. Well, I used to have clients like, well, what about my data? Now they're like, okay, whatever. Right. So that used to be a way to retain people be like, yeah, but do you really want to like drive to New York or take the train for, you know, when you could just work from home three days a week or two days a week or whatever it was. Um, and in some cases they were always remote, um,
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Yeah, I think as an industry, we have not figured out how to deal with junior developers in a way that's both good for the employer and fair to them. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I don't know what to say. Customers are wanting more and more for less, and that makes any error or anything like that that a junior is super likely to cause that much more expensive and risky to client relationships.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
So I currently don't have any junior developers, and I was able to cut and keep revenue the same.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
The biggest jackass in the company is me now, right? So it's like, the risk is like me getting mad that somebody didn't pay an invoice or something, right? Chris knows how I get. But... I can't tell you how many times I've had a junior inadvertently merge into the branch that GitHub kicks off a deployment to and I have to scramble. It's just bad.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Or they quit in the middle of a project because it turns out they took the job because they needed a stopgap that in three months got a better job or the job they really wanted. I had one guy who didn't know how to reverse a string. but was able to... Oh, this is the other thing. It has become a lot easier. I used to do coding tests for junior developers.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
We talked a lot years ago about how many people failed FizzBuzz. Those are worthless now because a test for a junior has to be relatively easy, but ChatGPT can absolutely do that. Right? Go right now. Ask even the free version of ChatGPT to do FizzBuzz. It'll do it. I used to have this Pokédex challenge, which used the Pokémon... the Pokemon API, which is really cool that they put up.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
And I used to be like, you know what, make me like a simple like Rails webpage that is like a basic Pokedex page, like a list of the original 150 whatever Pokemon. You click it and you go to like a detail screen with the image and the stats. And if you've played Pokemon, you know exactly what I'm talking about. And I'm sure almost everybody listening to this has.

really any pokemon game again i'm relatively sure chat gpt could get you like 80 of the way there now so and god knows what claude could do right so i don't i don't know how i would uh to dg's point i don't know how how i would make that make sense unless we're talking about You know, I should clarify here, the junior developers I think we're talking about are like your average developer.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
We're not talking about, you know, Rain Man from MIT who has never lost a game of Magic the Gathering in his life and is like writing an algorithm for parsing different license plates with, you know, half the plate or something crazy like that.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Yeah. I don't know why I went with that example.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
But like those guys are just going to Google anyway. Right. So, so I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about, you know, they, they went to college or they went to, you know, technical school. They're okay. You know, they're, they're junior, they're a developer. They're going to be probably a dark matter developer working at startups for, for a good portion of their life.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
And yeah, I don't, I don't know how to make that work. Sorry.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Have you heard of our good friends at Palantir? Thank you, Peter Thiel. You can only get those kind of juice margins with no accountability through government contracting.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
In fact, ChatGPT, the way to destroy the podcast... is to, on an infinite loop with Sam Altman's bank account, keep boosting, maybe like a million sats at a time. Yeah, that would wreck us. You know, I tell you what, if you can get us up to $3 million, you'll never hear from us again.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
I will personally crash the service and delete the whole feed.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Yes, with a quick control C and a control V, borrowing heavily.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Also, Microsoft has kind of paved the way for you here with the whole AI PC thing. Couldn't you do a riff on that? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, why? You know, it's so weird. They all have such Apple envy. And I kind of thought it was going to go away this year. But I guess it's just the chip on the shoulders too heavy.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
This guy is in the lounge room of the Enterprise-D playing multi-level chess. He's like, one, I'm going to do all these things at the same time in one move. Get out of the Microsoft deal. I'm going to get a bunch of government contracts. That's my bacon, by the way. He's going for DoD contracts. And I'm going to fix my revenue problem because there's so much fat once you get in. Right.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
That's what they've got. This is how you know they've become way too corporate. Yeah.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
I feel like that's kind of an oxymoron because you're a max, but you're also micro.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
It sounds like something out of The Onion.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Well, obviously, it's going to be the Pro Max Mini.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
You can find me on WeaponX at Dumanuko, or you can go to alice.dev if you need some data processed and automated.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Look at just how terrible the big – particularly the aerospace contractors have been doing, how much SpaceX has been able to embarrass them, and yet how fat their margins are and how little accountability there ever is.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
I mean, I definitely believe him when he says he pulled the number out of his butt. I believe that.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Well, I think they do, right? I mean, and it makes sense, right? Because I feel like the thinking, based on their behavior and various things that have leaked or have been involved in court cases or whatever, is that their big fear is that basically Google is going to overtake them. So they're constantly, like you said, skating ahead of the puck, right?
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
You ready to kick off the new year? I'm, you know, I'm trying to raise as much money as possible for my AI venture called... GiveMeMoney.ai?
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
They're pre-selling. They're making investments they probably wouldn't make. if they didn't have that competitive pressure. And frankly, Google is a pretty scary adversary. Right now, Gemini is, I would say, fathoms beneath OpenAI. But Google has unlimited money. Google owns advertising online.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
So Google can just start throwing drunk money at this, which I think they are. And they will eventually catch up, especially if OpenAI is starting to feel financial pressure. And the Microsoft deal, I think, is going to be one of the great 15 years when the books about OpenAI are the good ones, not like the, I was there and Sam yelled at me, like the real ones.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Remember when tech reporters used to actually report on the tech? It was so good. Those books. Yeah. I bet there's a lot of stuff in that Microsoft deal that is hamstringing them. But they just needed that office money. I mean, there's no way around that.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
I mean, Sam had to donate the money, right? Because Elon, as you said, has the presidency here. And Elon, it's pretty clear that Elon hates him. Like, seems like it got very personal at some point. You know, but if you think back to the tech hearings in like 20... What was that, like 22? When they all got hauled before Congress for the first time? Yeah.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
And like, I forgot the name of the congressman, but there was some... I think it was actually – yeah, it was a senator who was just like, why are my campaign emails going to spam? Yes, there's a lot of that.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
They have a hate on – it was embarrassing.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
But the truth is I feel like there's not going to be a breakup of anybody. Yeah. I know we have this in the doc, but net neutrality just got shot in the back of the head like Old Yeller because everybody acts like Trump is such a special orange unicorn. The reality of the situation is it's going to be a Republican government that is pro-big business. There's going to be no breakups.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Acquisitions are back. Yep, yep. Acquiring your nascent competitor in the cradle just to kill them is going to be a thing again.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Because of Lena Kahn. She kept challenging them. Yeah, I mean I wouldn't be surprised. We were talking about the Microsoft deal. I would not be surprised if Microsoft starts diversifying by buying up some nascent AI companies.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Yeah, Perplexity is good. I think Perplexity actually has to get acquired. I just don't know how they could go up against OpenAI.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
I don't think Apple wants an AI reputation.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
It's such a nest of vipers, right? Because then you immediately get into the moderation stuff.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Oh, especially because the entertainment industry, you know, last time they did business with Apple, it didn't necessarily go their way.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Robots! Robots. I think it's an interesting idea. I could definitely see, especially if you're doing a multiplayer game and struggling to get good network effects, why that might make sense. Again, it is another AI promise.
Coder Radio
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
Yeah, I feel like there's a lot. I'm particularly excited about what effectively is a dev kit. Project Digits. Project Digits, right? Which is real quick since I jumped ahead. It's a $3,000 effectively mini desktop for developers and AI researchers. Now, $3,000 is a bit of money, right?
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Glory of Docker, you can run multiple applications on one box in different containers. Again, Docker, we knew them when, when they were just we lads. But it's a huge pain in the ass to sync the data, right? This Postgres database, this kind of thing that I hate doing because it's error prone.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
This is a hickory maple dry rub. Oh, okay. You got me. That I had put on the ribs hours before cooking them and kind of let seep in. Yeah. So that's the dry rub rack. The other one is just sweet baby raised barbecue sauce. Great barbecue sauce, but it's just barbecue sauce, right?
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
And, you know, everybody says they don't care about the second instance, the staging instance, but they definitely care, right? You're going to get the calls that it's down or whatever, something crazy happened. Yeah. So I was looking for a way to make this less of a support burden.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
And little did I know about this app's clone functionality in Doku, which I use every single day and have been for years. See what happens when you don't read the damn manual? What it does is it takes the existing instance, copies the application, the environment variables to a point. You can change them later. And most importantly, any attached databases.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
So Doku obviously has the Doku Postgres plugin. And like Doku Storage, any of those configurations you're using for... Doku has a robust plugin system. And creates a new instance. Things it doesn't do for you. SSL. Big pain in the butt. Okay. Change environment variables, also pain in the butt.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
For instance, you probably don't want to be sending emails or push notifications or anything like that from your staging instance, right? Now, my case was a Rails case, but this would work for, you know, FastAPI or, you know, Spring, really anything, right? Java Spring, whatever, right?
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
I wrote a very simple bash script and using good old cron because we're on Linux and we have things like this that make this easy. Ran this command, right? Doku apps clone. I think I did. It's like every Sunday at midnight or 1 a.m. Okay. goes in after it's been cloned, calls Let's Encrypt, which is the free way to get SSL certs, right?
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Which Doku has a lovely plugin for, so it calls the Doku Let's Encrypt plugin, configures that all properly because you have to do it every time for every instance. So then you get your SSL, then goes in and changes the environment variable, in my case it's the Rails env, to be staging, which I just put a simple flag in the application to prevent certain actions I don't want to happen on staging.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Long and short of it, I have a pretty stable, nothing bad has happened to it yet, instance that is mirroring production data, which is what my customer wanted. It is not on a box outside of their network. It is on the same box as prod right now. And so they have no additional security concerns, right? It's not like I'm
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
you know shunting their data over to a heroku instance or something like that it's right there so there's no additional security concerns it is automatic using the built-in doku clone functionality and a bash script that is roughly 20 lines long very simple yeah yeah and i'm done by the way it costs no additional money you know in terms of infrastructure
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Now, I was pretty confident that the way to go was my dry rub. Sure. You know, you just have that feeling. Got some brown sugar in there. Got a little maple, right?
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Yeah, some of that's built into Doku, too, where you can, like, revert to different versions. But more importantly, let's say they say, okay, now we have staging, but we want, like, a super bleeding edge of what you guys are working on, instance. Sure. For, let's say they, like, I don't know, they want to add, like, a side module. I'm just...
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
They have not asked for this, but I'm just making this part up. That is only specific to like one division in their company. But we can have like the, you know, Jupiter Broadcasting video team instance, right? By modifying the script by like two lines.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Yeah, and this kind of problem is like the thorny kind of like data, like am I messing with data thing that I hate to do? Because, you know, you're always ultimately responsible and you never want to be screwing around where you could like lose data or anything like that. But yeah, I really like this.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
And again, I mean, you know, the wise men in Washington State and Florida, although I think I was in New Jersey at the time, you know, knowing about Docker, seeing those young promising lads before they made it to the Premier League.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
No, it was Cloud9, I think. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Right, because they were selling... They were like a platform as a service, weren't they, basically? Yeah, because their product was actually Docker, but they were selling it as... As like .something, right?
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
.cloud. Was it .cloud? I thought it was .cloud. No, it's .cloud. No, no, you're right. It's .cloud because Cloud9 was the... Remember, we had them on too. They were like a VS Code in the cloud before VS Code.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
They have enterprise contracts, though. I mean, they're not, they're not, they're not, they're okay. They're doing okay. Yeah, right. Now...
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Yeah, not to beat the horse here, but one of the nice things about using, you is it is platform agnostic, right? So a problem I know a lot of folks in the Rails community are having is Heroku, since Salesforce acquired them, has become super stagnant and expensive. Yeah, I was going to say, yeah, and expensive. So it doesn't matter if you're on Linode, AWS.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
In fact, AWS is more than happy to take your money while you use open source projects. They're down. In this case, my customer is on Azure. like weird enterprise Azure. So it's fine. As long as you've got a Linux instance, you're good. Unless of course you're hosting an open source project that helps you make Docker containers of Mac OS.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Well, so I didn't grill these, to confess. I slow baked them. But still, came out great, right? Of course. The ribs come out. And it was as if piranhas descended, or dare I say gators, on both racks. First, they – and I said, why don't you try a little bit of the dry rub? I then went to tend to the sides. Half the rack of dry rub was gone.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
I mean, I know a dude who runs a container for each of his consulting clients. Sure. Just like on his local, he never, he's a Python dev, and he just, he says, I don't want to, you know, he's using them for whatever, you know, virtual environment. But he says, I just put them all in their own container. That way, if something goes haywire, I don't have to worry about it.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
And sitting there, dejected, was the messy as hell Sweet Baby Rays. Now, they were both good. But this goes to show fellow barbecue aficionados or the barbecue chieftains, I'd say, of our audience. When the kids whine that they want the boring thing they could just get at Chili's, just don't listen. I know. They don't know better. Yeah.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Yeah. Also, I think the incentives are super aligned for contractors, many of whom might be working on like a fixed scope project where literally their margins go up if they can get it done faster. Yeah.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Because they're working in data science. They have like lots of money.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
They're serious. You know, Eric does a whole R show. He's evangelizing.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
That's not how it works in the States. They give you a day and they're like, show up or, you know. You're in a lot more trouble. Forget about parole, right? Yeah. In Florida, they just feed you to the gators.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
I got to give our European listeners one thing. Their prisons are like less horrific than ours. Ours are like overly – especially for stupid stuff like – it's funny. Florida has made – it's on the ballot again.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
it's gonna win probably but like the medical marijuana law here is so thin it's like i'm stressed out they give you a card sure they give everybody a card and it's all these old bitties running around like these old driving around unfortunately driving around token uplifted right like holy crap and but but 10 years ago
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
They were throwing kids in jail for like two, three years just for possessing a couple marijuana cigarettes.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Oh, it's, it's, it's my experience. I mean, this is an anecdote, right? Is it's women of that demographic, right? Yeah. Yeah.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
That's exactly what I've been told too. It's they gave – basically they gave up their wine and wine is loaded with sugar and obviously alcohol.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Well, yeah, right. They're debating that law, which probably won't pass because it's an election year, the Child Safety – I forgot the acronym, but it's another internet regulation law. That would effectively force something like this where you'd have to have digital IDs to access.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
I think the word they use in it is objectionable material, which, oh, the lawyers are going to make so much money trying to define what is and is not objectionable. Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, I mean, but everything's bad. Right. I don't know. Chris, I think you're probably more of a freedom warrior on this than I am. I just we're going to get digital IDs.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Can I break your spirit even worse? Yeah, sure. So the positive scenario you described isn't going to happen. Right. And going through the airport is still somehow going to suck, even though they know who you are automatically. Yes.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
I've had a very similar experience. And my commercial experiences are also infuriating because the flight I most commonly take is a roughly two and a half hour flight. And yet, each way, I'm in security or the lounge or whatever. whatever for two hours. Right. Yeah. Which is for those of us who are, you know, proficient at math, almost as much time as the actual flight. Yep.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Oh, and now, because airline prices are ridiculous, a flight that used to cost me, let's say, five-something round trip, I'm paying like 800 bucks. And the seats, I mean, yes, maybe I got a little more portly, but I used, do you remember like not paying to have a bag? Yeah. Or how about like a complimentary drink or something? And I don't mean like booze. I mean like not getting shaken down for,
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
i guess you still get the drink but yeah depending on where you sit depending on the airline all these things change but the seats are definitely less comfortable uh you know it's just where business class used to be like reasonably affordable yeah and now it's effectively first class minus 100 bucks i yeah and slightly less nice food yeah but that's it right like i i don't know it's it's over 9 000 now i'm sitting here doing the math
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Okay, so this is a common thing that I've been reading from disgruntled younger iOS developers. So the reason Steve Jobs killed Flash was a battery life concern, and just like Antipathy, he felt that Adobe was making the iPhone look crappy. And... There is no case where Steve Jobs somehow being in charge still would be better for developers.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
The reason it took so long to get the App Store was because Steve Jobs was personally against it. He had to be convinced because he didn't want developers installing software on their phone. And the idea that he would be this evangelist for PWAs I think comes from the marketing and the truly good web standard support they did for the original iMac launch and for a few years after.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
I know. I'm sitting in front of one that's doing weird stuff now for $1,500. I'm so happy.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
I mean, well, if Jobs is still around, the Vision Pro doesn't even get out of, like, the first meeting with him. And he probably fires the guy who showed it to him, right? Yeah, I bet that's true. Yeah. I mean, you know, there's definitely differences. I would also add... I almost think him being around would have been much better for the Mac.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
It's funny because we're past it now, but the just horrendous error of the butterfly keyboard, which was, I'm sorry, but that was a broken product on the MacBooks and the MacBook Pros. It wasn't that I didn't like it. I forgot her name, but the journalist from the Wall Street Journal didn't like it. Joanna Stern. Joanna Stern. The damn thing was broken out of the box. Yeah.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
And it wasn't something that like – It was a bad design. It was a bad design.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Right. And that's like – that is – I think Tim Cook is a – he's obviously a brilliant businessman. But he's too much of an accountant. Damn, a lot of shade towards accountants today. He's – I feel like they kept the butterfly keyboard because, yeah, it would have been expensive to turn the ship and be like, we can't use these because they're broken. Right.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
I mean, saying something is going to be different, you know, five years apart is like, sure, right?
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
The one before it? Right. The one they were using for like... The one they could have rolled back to. Or they could have just like... Like, I feel like there was a... You put it best, I think. An emphasis on product, but also like quality. Like the Vision Pro, man. That's...
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
And how well the BetaQuest is doing relative to that market segment, which is a tiny market segment anyway. I don't know. It's hard to argue in counterfactuals, right? Because would there be a new whiz-bang Apple product? Well, it's tough. They're a big company. And they are on the quarterly game, right?
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Like, okay, something Tim Cook handled really well that I don't think Jobs would have handled quite so well is when Warren Buffett and other – can we call them vultures? Can we do that? We're harassing him about stock price. He basically went – this is a real thing. He went to lunch with them and negotiated a deal where he would buy back a bunch of stock. basically making them rich.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Like, that is where Tim Cook is good. Tim Cook is good at, like, I could see Steve Jobs having a fit of morals about the Chinese government, right?
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Or Johnny Ives leaves and you just like give his new design agency a massive contract and then press release. Johnny Ives is helping us out. Right.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Just real quick. It's like we shouldn't criticize Uncle Tim too much because the man is putting up the numbers.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
It also depends on which era of jobs, right? Can you imagine a younger Steve Jobs and Twitter existing? Oh, God. He'd be canceled, right? This is a guy who famously would scream at people, right? Actually, you know, I would say it would be problematic if Steve was still around because there would be so many... Yeah, times have changed.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Yeah, I think we keep proving this false, right? You know, this is not the first time that people said, oh, development's going to die, right? I remember the battle days of, you know, everything's going to be Adobe, whatever that thing, not Air. It doesn't really matter, right? It's dead anyway.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Right, there'd be so many people leaking to places like The Verge or Joanna Stern at The Journal.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
woke well it's not even just current apple right the tech press of that time oh he's a temperamental little bit the little prick yeah but it's because he's a genius and we have to tolerate geniuses and that would be he's abusive he's toxic he yes i i to conversely elon in the 80s probably would have gotten a more uh sympathetic shake right so
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
But, you know, and all these other platforms were going to die, and it was no good, and you're screwed if you don't jump on the bandwagon. And I think we can say that that is not how that happened. I have two thoughts.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
I mean, yeah, we were talking about this in our Slack, and I think it's... I was a little like, what the hell? But I was convinced that, you know, wine is probably the appropriate place for this to go. And better than just letting it die? Well, yeah, because there's going to be a lot of legacy applications that...
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
you know, that for whatever reason are difficult to port to, let's say, you know, the new .NET Core or .NET.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Go check out alice.dev for some automation ETL goodness. That's right. We can move data for you automatically from legacy systems.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
I know many business types, let's call them accounting, generic accounting finance types. I'm sure there's an accounting podcast that would roast us for that. But see, we know our area. And basically, that's it. My mom is one of them. In effect, these folks are basically using Excel as a development platform. They just wouldn't call it that, right?
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
But it's like, they've got conditionals, they've got loops, they've got all kinds of crazy stuff going on. I think Satya is right. A little, God, it's going to be Clippy, isn't it? It better be Clippy. They should bring Clippy back.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
I don't know. But it's not going to wipe out the whole class of developers. I don't think. I just don't see it.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Yeah. So the idea is if you refactor just a very little bit, it's actually not that big of a change. To use this conditional API, you're going to save yourself money because I think everybody who listens to the show who uses AWS knows that Amazon charges for every goddamn thing.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
So every write, even if it's a redundant write, even if you're overwriting data that is the exact same data with the exact same data, you are paying for that.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Or if you're dealing with large assets like 3D files or something like that, you really want to... not be doing that. And I know a lot of folks, right, a good practice is to, you know, manually check in your application logic. But this basically does that for you if you implement this API. And I would care to wager it's probably more accurate and less error prone than a hand-rolled solution.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Also, it's code you didn't write that you don't have to maintain that Amazon's going to maintain for you. So, yeah, I like this. I would use this on my next project that involves AWS.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Now, I want to say I had to make two variety of ribs because the wife and kiddos protested at the idea of a dry rub.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Well, let me tell you about this drive-up, okay? Stay a while and listen to my drive-up story.

586: Mike's Clone Army
That was great. Yeah, so my good friend Master Sephadeus came and was like, you know what we need? I'm like, no, what's up? And aren't you Darth Tyrannus? Spoilers, I guess, maybe. And come on. He's like, no, I'm not. Anyway, here's what you need. Doku apps clone. So I'm going to pat us on the back. I may break my arm doing this again, Chris.
Coder Radio
586: Mike's Clone Army
Do you remember we talked to that little stone company called Cloud9 that became Docker? Yeah. Nice. Yes. You know what, Mike? I'm kind of familiar with that. Yes. Well, called it. Still paying off in 2024. Doku, I mention it all the time, but if anybody somehow missed it, is a reimplementation of the Heroku Buildpack deployment API, whatever you want to call it, on top of Docker.

586: Mike's Clone Army
And open source, which is the key thing. They do have a weird paid plan that you don't need to use because you don't need it. So I had a problem where I got a request that a customer wanted staging to literally mirror production data on a set amount of time. Now, everything's hosted on their own infrastructure. So it's one box.

This is Coda Radio, episode 589, recorded on October 1st, 2024. Well, hey, friend. Welcome back to Jupiter Broadcasting's weekly talk show. Taking a pragmatic look at the art, the business, and all of the software development stuff out there. I don't know, probably the whole world of technology, you might say. I could probably say that. My name is Chris, and, well, that doesn't really matter.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Ultimately, any framework for effectively regulating AI needs to keep pace with the technology itself. I guess my question to you, Mike, is it seems to me whatever state that comes up with – well, that's not true. Really, it's California just because of where all the industry is.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
If California comes up with a state-level regulation, that's sort of de facto going to become regulation for much of the world since a lot of AI innovation is happening in California.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Yeah, we've seen this before with the auto industry, right? California makes some, you know, whatever, environmental law. And it's just cheaper to follow the strictest standard everywhere than have like different models of car in most cases. Right. I don't know. I was at first surprised that he vetoed this. But then thinking about it, this is a lot of money coming into California.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Yeah. And he kind of signaled that he might not. He did sign some AI regulation that, you know, I think involves parody and actor use and stuff like that. But this, not so much.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I don't know. Do you think it should have? I mean, I feel like we're pretty early in the game yet on this AI stuff. And it very well could be a nothing burger.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Timothy B. Lee posted something that I thought put into words what I've been thinking. He writes, there's a lot of disagreements over AI regulation. It seems to flow from whether people expect AI systems to continue to be tools or whether they expect them to become more person like over time. I think there's two branches or two forks of, you know, futurism or doomerism about this one.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Like all they do, my stepson, all he and his friends do is play on the meta quest. It's crazy. They play this crazy game. I think it's called Ape Tag or Gorilla Tag.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
And I think it's the one and probably you subscribe to is AI. Well, look, if AI just continues to be tools that we use, then it makes sense to regulate them the way we've always regulated tools by making sure they're safe and effective for particular uses. Like, you know, if you have AI in a driving car or something that does medical diagnosis, you know, or something that's used in hiring.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
It's a tool. So what we often do is in that paradigm, when it's a tool like a hammer or a saw or whatever, we hold the people using the tools responsible if they misuse them. Right. So it may not be necessary to regulate the tools directly at all.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
But on the other hand, if you expect AI to become more and more independent agents with their own agendas, their own thoughts, well, then we probably need an entire new regulation regime to address that.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
If you've been drinking and watching The Terminator, yes, that's a whole different situation.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Well, that is what people are concerned about. The Doomers have come up with all of these concerns about, you know, misinformation and impersonating people and taking over things.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I mean, OK, so that's the question, right? So I would be curious on what your thought is. Do you think that we're anywhere near, let's call it, you know, five years to completely, I mean, basically Jarvis? I don't think we are, but.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
No, I think we're closer to autocorrect than we are to Jarvis or Skynet.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Right. I think we're closer to Clippy. That kind of works.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Yeah. And I think what we're doing now is we're figuring out how much back-end compute we need to get something useful, how much we can layer it. Remember we saw that the pre-prompts for Apple Intelligence leaked and it's like, you be a good assistant, don't be offensive. We're starting to figure out how to massage these things and get the results we want. And so we're going to get them better.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Yes, yes. You know what I'm talking about? Yes. My daughters love that game too.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
But it's still an open question of how good they're going to get. And they're very, very, very, very far from Skynet. And they're much, much, much closer to autocorrect on your mobile device.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
So, I mean, I think we'll know that we're going towards Skynet when you have your first AI pursue a sexual harassment lawsuit. And it'll just bring up a history of all your chats and be like, this is what he said at 2 a.m. on Saturday.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I'm joking, of course, but if you think about these nightmare scenarios that people keep bringing up, you would then have to assume that, well, then you could probably piss the AI off, right? Yeah. I do remember when Siri came out, and then Cortana came out, Microsoft's shameless rebranding of a beloved video game character. What was the first thing people started doing with Siri?
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Right. And he's always going on there and finding new stuff. And then my youngest, my little guy, it's the big hot item all the kids want. It just seems like somehow we're coming to a place where that is the type of game they want to play and the experience they want to have.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Oh, I can't say that. What's up, Siri? What do you think of Cortana? And for a little while, she would actually throw shade at Cortana. She'd be like, whatever. Whatever. And then they got rid of that because Apple hates fun. Or you used to be able to say, like, lewd or flirty stuff to Siri, and she'd come back at you a little sassy and be like, you wish.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
And they got rid of that because I think there was a cultural change here, too. We're just trending towards boring, right? I wouldn't be surprised if, like, you know, with the weird exception of Grok, who, god damn, if you want any picture of Donald Trump that you could possibly dream. Grok will do it for you. Grok is down.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I have not tried Grok. I have not yet subscribed to Twitter. I have not.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I think they specifically, like, made it work better for political figures, and I don't know why, because I ask other things, and it's kind of... Maybe to draw attention. You can get it to be mean to you, which is, like... I forgot the name. There's another AI that basically takes your LinkedIn profile and just roasts you. Oh, that's great. Yeah, it's actually pretty good.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
It's like, you know, the most, the meanest person doing a background check on you just solely based on your LinkedIn profile.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
You know, speaking of, you know, the first AI that's actually genuinely kind of impressed me. I don't know if you've seen these demos of Notebook LM. I was just trying it this week. Isn't that that truly? So quick recap, because I'm sure people probably know what it is, but just in case. You uploaded a set of documents, say like your research papers or whatever, and you can upload a bunch of them.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
And then you kind of give it some direction and then it just starts cooking. And what comes out on the other end is a very realistic sounding podcast by two hosts. And I mean, I think most people would think, in fact, I played a little bit of my wife and then I told her it was AI and she did not catch that it was AI before I mentioned something.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I have a little bit of the audio just as an example here. Go ahead. Just so people can kind of see what I'm saying here.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
It really is pretty good. And the person that did this little experiment uploaded a one-page document with production notes for the Deep Dive podcast. It just told them, oh, you've been AI this whole time. He generated this a few times, and this is the only time he got this kind of reaction. Other times they're more disassociated with it. But it really is – it generally impresses me.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Well, and when the Apple Vision Pro is $2,500 and the MetaQuest 3S is $299.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Yeah, but we're getting better in the really, really sad Steven Spielberg AI movie. Yeah, that's true. Spoilers. What is his name? Joel Osment was not, in fact, a real boy. And that's very, very sad. And now I'm depressed.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
To wrap up the bill, Clem, the co-founder of Hugging Face, posted, quote, this was a bad bill for the ecosystem and science in general, so I'm happy to see it vetoed by Gavin Newsom. Just like in software, we need to regulate the final applications and foster more open source science and open source to fight the concentration of power. So I agree with that. I think I take the tools view.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Oh, and from a development perspective for platform, there's no denying Quest is the leader, right? And under the hood, it's just Android, and it has great Unity integration and Unreal integration. So… Even if you're making a game or if you're not making a game, it's not hard to develop for. It also can do Android native development in Lay C++, the NDK native development kit.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
And with the tool view, I think we regulate differently and we have a lot of laws already on the books that solve the problem. I think if you look at it as they're going to be independent agents, then you're going to need a whole suite of regulations. And I think then controlling the information isn't going to solve the problem.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
If these things have independent agency and they're out there creating misinformation that destroys our democracy, the solution probably won't be to limit information but to make even more information available. And so then again, I think the regulation has to be crafted very carefully.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
basically the god emperor the star of it all the star not just a regular man perhaps an alt man a sam altman who uh well he's had a really busy couple of weeks uh right after the show wrapped up he claimed that deep learning worked that super intelligence may be quote a few thousand days away and that astounding triumphs will incrementally become commonplace
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I just got to say this guy, his superpower is PR. For sure. Right.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Superintelligence is just a few thousand days away, he said. Superintelligence. And then, of course, news came out that OpenAI is planning to remove – well, actually they're planning to restructure. In fact, I thought – I think this is the clip here. I thought this Bloomberg clip actually explained and brought up a few questions.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
If you forgive their traditional news style format, they actually raise a few good questions in this clip.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
So the rumors are that Sam Altman may get a 7% stake. In the shift for profit for open AI. And ironically, of course, Sam is on video multiple times saying he's not in it for the money. So you can find clips of him at a Senate testimony. Senator, I'm not in it for the money. And so now it looks like he may be in it for the money.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Absolutely. Yeah. So, OK, let's start. Let's break some of this down. So the CTO, head of research and the VP of training research all decided to leave on the same day that this news came out. So three high level people have been there from the beginning.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
No, don't spoil it. I'm actually going to watch The Godfather soon. Are you serious? I haven't seen it yet. I know, it's horrible of me. It's a wrong I'm going to write soon.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Okay, well, for those who have, yeah, that makes sense.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
So this is really incredible. And then also news came out that Apple's not going to invest in open AI. And M.G. Siegler pointed out that ChatGPT is on the verge of rolling out to millions of Apple devices, iPads, macOS, lots of devices. It's not just like iPhone 15 and 16. It's also the iPads and the MacBooks.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
For the most part, those users seemingly from what Apple has told us are using the service logged out. They're not getting tracked. So they're not – I mean, I think there is a way you can link it to an existing pro subscription, but by default, it's using a logged out session.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
So one of the bigger questions around all of this is the initial reporting is that Apple's not paying OpenAI for the usage. But you get a sense that like when you look at OpenAI's quarterly results that got leaked or something like that that just came out, oh, it was like an investor letter. Like it's pretty expensive for all these freebie searches.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
It's costing them quite a bit of money because they're paying Microsoft for to run this on Azure. So OpenAI is going to be fronting for Apple since Apple isn't paying, and they're gonna pay Microsoft for Apple's usage of ChatGPT. And that probably made sense when Apple was going to invest in OpenAI, but now that Apple's pulling out, they still have to pay for the usage.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I think it's the winner, right? It's the Windows to, well, Apple's back because Apple's the other guy, right? And the field is only thinning. Microsoft just killed the HoloLens 2, which is sad, but...
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
So OpenAI is giving another investor's money to Microsoft – giving investors money, others to Microsoft and including Microsoft's own money to pay for Microsoft services to run searches for iOS users.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Like with Apple pulling out of this funding deal where they were going to have – like they were going to fund and they were going to have a board member and they were supposedly talking billions of dollars. This seems like a really awkward relationship all of a sudden because you turn it on for a ton of users that are using logged out free sessions and Apple isn't paying anything for it.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I think the next step is Sam comes back to Apple and says, here's what you've cost us. You've got to pay up. And then Apple announces that they've raised the cost of Apple one, but it now includes Apple intelligence or you can pay for Apple intelligence on its own for like five ninety nine a month or something.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Well, you're going to be paying on its own. Come on.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Or probably it's Apple, so it's $9.99 or something.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Yeah. You got to keep that – Chris, it's that red line. It's got to go up and to the right for services revenue, especially with the pesky Epic suing them again and the EU trying to – do you know how much they need that 30 percent?
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Well, that's what's crazy, man. If you zoom out, Apple is going to have – at some point, they're going to have a check they owe OpenAI. They're probably going to stop getting money from Google because of all of the antitrust stuff going on.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
And then it turns out Apple also had a deal. I'm talking out of school. I didn't bring it to the show, but I think it's with MasterCard or Visa. One of them is also getting sued by the Justice Department. And in there, it comes out that they had an exclusivity deal with Apple. to not allow other payment networks like cryptocurrency and things like that.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
And they were cutting Apple a big check every year to maintain some of this exclusivity in Apple Pay. And that's probably going to get cut out too because of the antitrust stuff.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
So their Google money is getting possibly cut. Wait. So what is it? They're paying them not to use other networks?
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Yeah, I should have brought the story and prepped it for the show.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Because I know Goldman is trying to chew their way out of the Apple card deal.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Chatroom is coming in clutch. It is Visa. Oh, it's Visa. Because of the fee structure. And so I have the agreement right here actually. I did save it in case it came up. Visa has deals with Apple. This is a snapshot from the court paper.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
One of the things I noted about the Quest 3S is that they say 4.5x better resolution for clarity compared to the Quest 2 for mixed reality and AR. They're continuing to push AR integration through as well, and they're making the passer cameras better and better. So I think there's – like if you look at the platform options out there, it's –
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Visa has deals with Apple in which Apple agrees that it may not develop or deploy payment functionality with the aim of competing with Visa such as creating payment functionality that relies primarily on non-Visa payment processes or payment products. Apple is also barred from providing incentives with the intent of disintermediating Visa. So part of their little deal with Apple –
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I don't know the amount. OK. See if I might have it here. I don't know if I do have it, but it looks like there is some there is some sort of visa payments to Apple amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars in 2023 is what the court papers say. Oh, so that money is likely going to get cut out. The Google money is likely going to get cut out.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
And at some point, they're either going to have to build their own search or they're going to have to come up with something there. Maybe Microsoft pays. I don't know. But also OpenAI is likely going to have to bill them for their usage of their users at some point.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I've got it. They lock down iOS such that it always does a big search unless you pay $50 a year to use Google. That's what they do.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Yeah. And then kind of talking about AI and just where this is all going, it really seems that we've had this conversation around how much power AI needs. And I guess we're on a roll with clips. But before we get into the power discussion, because Sam Altman – Just made a big pitch to the Biden administration on a massive build out of data centers that are near nukes.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
And Zuck was in an interview talking about AI hardware demands. And I just think about power usage requirements when he's talking about this here in this interview. I forget who this interview is with, but I'll put a link to it in the show notes.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
With this whole Horizon OS initiative they have, I think you're probably right that if you're looking at maybe getting, and I'm not sure if this is where you're going, but if you're thinking about maybe getting in the AR space, or maybe you just want to be prepared for that if it becomes an eventuality, this does seem like the one to bet on.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
You build out power. So what seems to be happening – if you translate what he just said there to power usage, they're not done yet. They need to build out a lot more. They need to really throw a lot of resources at this.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
And so that's why companies like Microsoft are working with Constellation who has this – now they have this 20-year plan to restart one of the recently shut down reactors on the Three Mile Island, which this reactor has been going since 2019. These things are not cheap to get started. And so they go into this massive contract.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
And I don't know if they're going to try to put data centers near that, but you know that's going to be a plan. AWS is hiring for a data center principal nuclear engineer to evaluate SMRs and nuclear fuel strategies. Apple has quietly updated their definition of clean energy in their marketing material and on their website. Nuclear energy.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
We're going to have to. So real quick, we should mention OpenAI is doing their Dev Days as of Monday. And I just have two things I think might be relevant to the audience. One, the new real-time API. I have obviously not get to try it because they just announced it while we've been on the air, basically. It is a audio to audio API, right? Similar to their audio features. That's pretty cool.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
But I think the real sexy one, and this is super boring, but OpenAI is not the cheapest API to use. ChatGPT, right? They have a bunch of new features where you can kind of prime it for your specific work cases. And I like this one better.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I'm trying to get the exact name of what they're calling it, but it's almost like siloing where you basically tell it what the area it should be thinking about is. to lower the computations it has to do, right? Because they charge you by usage. They saw AWS's model and they're like, what if we made it more expensive? Like, can we do that? So, yeah, it seems interesting that...
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Is that what kind of you're thinking for, not just talking about for your kids, but for yourself?
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
They're almost acknowledging that to use their biggest, sexiest O1 for developers is just not viable cost-wise in many cases. So you've got 4.0 Mini now. You've got this way to... They call it prompt caching. Thank you. Prompt caching. Which is something that Claude from Anthropicus had for some time. But hey, we're not going to talk about it. It comes with 50% discounts on your tokens.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I don't know why. I'm assuming because they must be getting some epic savings if you do these cash prompt. So I'm sure they're saving more money. But yeah, it all comes down to power and cost. And I'm really interested... To see, are they going to have to raise the rate they're charging per, you know, they have a stupid token unit thing they do.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
That is my thinking, right, for even non-game applications, right? I mean, the game use case is pretty obvious. Who doesn't like to look like a fool playing Beat Saber? But also, I think it's hard to over overwrought how. Getting it down to $299 is a huge deal, right? Let's switch light pricing. So that, you know. Right.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
But like, it's basically per, you know, computational watt hour, right? Because it, oh my God, Chris, we're going into like actual like 80 sci-fi now we're charging in watt hours.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Yeah, I wonder if they have enough runway until this denser power comes on. I just doubt it. It seems like it's going to take years. So back to the nuclear thing for a second. Another nuke reactor on Lake Michigan has just closed a $1.5 billion loan to start. The reason why I mention that is because, first of all, this thing is going to produce power until 2051.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
It will create 600 local jobs, 15 different trade unions in there. But there's only three reactors total that can be restarted like this, and these are the two of them now. There's only one left, only one reactor left that can be kind of restarted before we have to start building. So they can only grow so much and they may or may not be able to put data centers near these things.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
The transmission is still a massive problem. What Amazon is looking at doing and what I think Microsoft is going to end up doing ultimately is they're going to look at building reactors and data centers on the same land.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
The same land. Well, so a couple of things, right? They're reopening Three Mile Island. Yeah. So yay. Yeah. I'm actually all for that. And Bill Gates happens to own or be significantly invested in a reactor company. And to be fair, reactor, you know, it's not 1962. Reactor design has come quite a long way. And frankly, it works for the French.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
You know, this is one thing where the EU, I think, was doing a better job, although Germany did just shut some down. I know there's a lot of fear around nuclear power. It's kind of not true. I mean, if you want a fictionalized fun account of the scariest possible outcomes, there's that TV show Chernobyl. But to be honest, it's based on the truth, but it's, of course, dramatized.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
But the truth is actually even dumber. There was nothing really wrong. It was just gross corruption and incompetence. Again, this is Russia. Something, something. They have no tank tires. Just saying. So I know there's going to be a lot of people who go knee-jerk, environmentalism, whatever.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
If you look at it, nuclear is actually... It's so weird how it got caught up in the environmentalist movement as an enemy. My conspiracy bacon is I'm 100% sure they were being paid off by coal lobbyists.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Ooh, look at you bringing the coal bacon, which, honestly, tastes awful.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Where I'm originally from, let me tell you, there are coal lobbyists, and they got a lot of money to throw around, especially up in Pennsylvania. Yeah, yeah. So...
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
No, I'm with you. It always seems like it's a complementary thing. It works great with wind and solar.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Right, right. It's always in the game, right? Always. Clean burning coal. This is a Pennsylvania bacon from Scranton. So enjoy.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
No, I mean nuclear. I think nuclear energy and solar and wind, like it doesn't have to be just one of these things, right? It can be all of these things. It shouldn't be one, right? But data centers, especially AI data centers, are really, really, really power hungry.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I think one of the things you'll see them figure out is I would bet you, if we were making predictions, they're going to track the Bitcoin mining industry where they start doing methane capture for all the wells out there that are just off-gassing. Several Bitcoin mining companies, their sole existence now, is they go out to these sites where there's no transmission lines.

My whole objection to the Vision Pro, it was a good demo, but it was, what was it, $3,500 or something like that?
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
So the oil companies are just venting the methane into the air, lighting it on fire and burning it right there, which dumps methane, which is the strongest greenhouse gas there is. The miners show up. They cap it. They run that into a generator that has like a 98, 99 percent efficiency conversion.

And then they mine Bitcoin right there on site because they have the Bitcoin miners in these containers like from the back of a truck that they just drop off depending on the scale of the operation. They put a Starlink or an LTE modem there. And the things just convert that methane off gas into Bitcoin. And then they can profit share with the oil company.

or the owner of the land, or however the arrangement works. And I would bet you you'll see something similar with AI, is they'll work with these companies that have these methane off-gases that you can cap, you can run a generator. And the tricky part is you just need, in their case, you're going to need connection.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
But depending on what the stuff is doing, like if it's doing processing work, you might be able to set up an array of Starlinks, and you might be able to have an AI in a crate, sitting on a site that's capturing gas that doesn't have the transmission lines to go anywhere. That's interesting. And maybe help reduce methane emissions. I mean, they could get on that same track.

OK. And it holds a charge for like two days. So between that and just plugging in my MacBook, the literally half hour I needed to charge it up a little bit, which I thought was hilarious.

Microsoft announced that they were going to be getting involved with that. We speculated if that meant the end of days for HoloLens, and I think it does.

And he says, y'all triggered me on this one. I ended up as a high school Algebra 2 teacher after retiring from the Navy instead of going into coding.

So my kids' sporting events, and of course my kids just started going to sporting events, just set in a whole new set of rules where you're not allowed to bring a bag in. You can bring a kind of like a purse-sized bag if it's clear, if you get one that's clear that they can look at. And once you are in the game, you are not allowed to leave or you cannot come back in.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
So, you know, for somebody like me who might bring down our dog because it's going to be ours. And so what I will typically do is he and I will trade off and a couple of times during the game, we'll step out and go walk Levi and then put him back in the car. If you see me, the temperature's right. Make sure he's OK.

And if you had to like pee, you could walk out. It's just, yeah. My kids' schools are like this too. I know I mentioned it on our last show. It's, It's funny. They put in metal detectors and they said they were temporary. They don't seem to be moving.

And now they're spending – I believe there's like a contract. So this is, again, corruption bacon. You know somebody is getting a contract to maintain this stuff. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Apps like Slack started to nag me about the end of life a few months ago. So what does it take for me to change my phone? Well, probably just a few more decisions by tech leads. But how much time they want to invest in old Android versions, really. It's a shame that we live in a world where software dictates that when my phone is broken and not the actual state of the hardware.

We haven't had a fun Android update limit in a long time. Yeah, that's pretty terrible.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Yeah, I think the situation's gotten better on Android, but still with specific devices and specific scenarios. I think I saw with the Pixel 9, Google promising seven years of updates. That's pretty good, but you've got to be on a Pixel and you've got to be using their branch and all that. I think they said 7. I don't know.

I've tried. I have paid stupid amounts of money for all kinds of like native or web apps to do this. And I just keep going back to my old way in terms of shapes. It depends on what level. Right. So I do UML diagrams for like database structure schema. I stick more or less to the standard of what you would get in like your your CS 101.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Yeah, and I think it's going to serve them well because when you get into multi-application work modes, you're going to have Slack on there. You're going to have your signal and telegrams and element chats and all the stuff you use. So basically any Android app you need to get your work done, it's going to be usable in some sort of Horizon OS work environment.

You know, I guess I would be on database design 101, but whatever. Right. Um, then if you go a level up, I actually, I shouldn't say this cause I'm going to make Adam way too happy. I've kind of adopted a lot of the event modeling and event sourcing kind of stuff.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
It's annoying because I've been resisting it for years, but it does – one, it's a more clear, kind of shorter way to diagram it out than diagramming every single component. And son of a bear, it does work. Okay, Canadians, have fun. Enjoy.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
There you go. You know, I'm impressed at the entire world of diagramming software from really, really basic stuff, circles and squares, all the way up to something that tries to output some kind of code that you can consume. And I always see various versions in software demos. The amount of time that goes into doing that. It strikes me as, well, I'd rather just be making the app.

I know a bunch of teachers and they all say that they can tell which kids have parents that are involved versus ones that are performatively involved versus the ones where the parents have totally checked out.

The Windows kernel issue seems like something that could easily be resolved by Microsoft being required to develop capabilities that you can hook into the Windows kernel from an external vendor point of view. Yeah, I wonder if DTrace, like BHH pointed out, Microsoft cannot implement any security measures that would be considered competition to other antivirus or similar products.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Yes, I know that is one of the restrictions. He says this. Then if they want to provide a reasonable security product themselves, they are running through the same loops any other company would. This provides a more secure environment for its users. So essentially, they could take advantage of the tools they create.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools

Well, I mean, who among us has not written like a for loop that they put a comment, we'll refactor later.

Yeah, you got it. JB live dot FM. You can put that in your web browser. And it's always playing old episodes. Now, he says, what would be nice is if I could somehow get the show notes with what's playing with, you know, connect to the 24-7 stream. That's not bad.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Yeah, I think maybe our Icecast host has an API where you could get the track that's currently playing and then maybe we could link that to the show notes.

It's also in the price range where if you're buying it for yourself, you could probably, you know, if you're doing okay, you could buy one for your spouse too because it's otherwise a very isolating experience.

So it's just, I think it's really important that you set that. So this is sort of maybe the bottom of the price.

Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
You know, they were kind of pre-stage demos, of course, but kind of going to what you're saying, maybe it's not a giant face computer, but it's a pair of AR glasses that have a computer in their pocket. Maybe that computer is their phone. Maybe it's something else. This seems like a platform people would actually be willing to put on their face because it's not snow. It's not snow goggles. It's.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
more like sunglasses. And again, it's not a shipping product, but it's pretty impressive because they've also paired it with a wrist strap that is watching the electrical nerve signals in your hands and using that to interact with the UI in the Orion environment. And so instead of having to do hand tracking or have controllers, this wrist strap is
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
is watching your nerve system, essentially, your pulses in your nerve system, and interpreting that as gestures in the UI. And that is going to get used in all kinds of metaproducts. They've been teasing this for about nine months now or so, this product that you could use with the Quest or now with these Orion glasses.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
And so they have this whole system, the wireless puck that goes in your pocket, the glasses with the integrated battery and display, the wrist strap that watches your nerves. It's kind of, I mean, it's early, but it's kind of like, it's kind of a leap, I think, in this technology.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I think we're going to get there, right? I listened to the whole interview with him, and the problem seems to be, which it always is, right, that the prototype is like 10 grand.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
So, but that's just how products are designed. They're always too expensive.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Didn't they say they made like a thousand of them or something like that?
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Yeah, they have like a whole group internally who's using them. I just want to say that very lucky for Zuck that the buddy holiday glasses came back.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I think in an office place, this is way more acceptable than goggles that actually cover your eyes.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Exactly. And when you forget to take them off at the bar and go to the urinal, you're less likely to get punched in the face. So that's a plus.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
You know, I actually think it's equivalent, some equivalency. It's not as, not as going to be as easy, but AirPods...
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
really stood out these white airpods that everybody wore were you know really kind of unique and then as time has gone on like when you go to the airport almost everybody has airpods or they have some kind of you know headphone system you know big old bulky like noise cancelling headphones and we've completely normalized people walking around downtown
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I don't think it has the actual sticking power that it does like it does with the kids. I think for them, it's like the next obvious step up from a phone. They're not going to go to the computer. That's like old, right? It's weird. It's slow. My kids have laptops, but they also really like VR, and they definitely prefer their mobile devices over their laptops.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Wearing either AirPods or big, you know, headphones. And I don't really think it's much different than that. It just goes over your eyes. But as long as you can still see them, they can see you and you're just pulling up ancillary information. I think this could be socially acceptable. I'm not saying it should. But in a way, it's kind of better than looking down at your phone.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
It's more socially acceptable than looking at your phone all the time.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Yes, it makes it easier to pretend like you're listening to somebody when you're really just scrolling Twitter. I agree.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I can see your glasses are flashing. Are you listening to me?
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Oh, my God. You're going to have kids taking them to school, putting, like, tape on the light so no one can see.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
But we're really getting a sense of what they spend all that R&D money on. You know, like... I think that's why they're showing this off is like, Hey, here's some results that we've got. And by the way, vague AI implied integration here that's going to be gangbusters, right? They can do that too.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
He said in the interview that he did with The Verge that, you know, he made a bet that the AR stuff would happen before the AI stuff and he was just wrong, right? So that, you know, they really are killing it. I was not a quest believer before, but yeah, turns out if you just stick with something and iterate on it, you can actually get there.

A little acquisition news. TMB Mad Botter has been bought by Meta. No, I'm kidding.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Gosh. Well, I guess I'm not really saying that we're going to see these in a year or two. But five years? Five years? I could see it. I don't know if the problem is I just don't think I want Meta to be the company I buy these from.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Well, you don't have a choice, Chris. This is... So, okay, the bad part. Zuck kind of thinks he's Augustus, you know, the Caesar. Yeah. I've noticed. I've noticed that vibe. He's walking around in custom t-shirts with weird Latin phrases on them. There's definitely a kind of imperial thing going on here. So, you know, I...

Do you think this is their iPhone moment, as some of the tech press are putting it? No, this is not going to be an iPhone moment.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
It has to be shipping, right? So, one, it has to be shipping, right? You could just leave it there. It's not shipped. And we should remember, when the iPhone came out, it initially wasn't gangbusters, right? One, it was too expensive. Well, we have to go through the history of the iPhone, but... Didn't have a keyboard. Didn't have a keyboard, which was a huge dig on it, right?
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
And actually, it didn't have the fastest cellular antennas for the first generation or so.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
And it was on a shitty carrier called Singular in the U.S.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Yeah. We'll see. The problem for the Zuckman is by the time he can get this down to where it's a viable commercial product that people might be able to afford, what else is going to happen in the industry?
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Right. And now they've sort of tipped their cards. People are going to be working harder on their solutions.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Or maybe they won't copy this, right? Like you mentioned the AirPods. What about, and they're kind of getting there with the new AirPods Pro, but how about we run the AirPods forward five years? Do they become your AI interface?
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Well, they definitely could become part of the controller input. You know, like they have the new shake the head to accept or reject notifications and interact with Siri. It seems to me that the AirPods are actually just perfect for more sensors, temperature sensors.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Things that you could feed into the watch for health information and stuff that you could feed into a VR slash AR environment for position, for head tracking, for acknowledgement of notifications without actually having to move your hands. Yeah, I think they have to go that direction. And I think they're uniquely positioned to integrate all that stuff.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
And I wouldn't be surprised if we did see our kids and younger start to really take to this as a primary computing platform, especially for work, because just experimenting with it, I can see where it's at today at a ground level. This is before they've made a lot of the improvements and changes in new hardware. It's already getting pretty usable.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I'll tell you, I am strongly considering buying a second pair of AirPods just because I, one, got the cheap ones, and two, to have two. I hate not having my AirPods. I use them all the time around the house.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
You should get the pros and tell me how the conversational awareness is.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
my problem with the pros is I hate the soft padding on earphones. Cause my ears are, this is a little gross. My ears get very waxy and that soft padding kind of gunks up. Sure. So I, if they made them in the hard, I don't know what they call that. Just, you know, the, the part that goes in your ear, right. Just, just like they do with the regular ones.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I would be more interested, but I do like that conversational awareness stuff. That is really, that does look cool in the demo.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Yeah, I'd love to know if people have tried that with the AirPods. Sounds like it's pretty decent with the PixelPods. Boost it and tell us. I guess also I'd like to know, we didn't bring it up directly in the show, but since we're wrapping up, my question would be, how do you feel about big tech leading the restart of the nuke reactors? It's going to be fine.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Well, I can imagine there's some people. I guess to me the concern would be, would you rather this was a state-run initiative or a private company-run initiative? It seems like both would have pros and cons. That's really what I'm asking. Write in and boost it and let us know. Mr. Dominic, where should people find you throughout the week?

Thank you so much for listening to this episode of the Coder Radio program. See you right back here next week.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Yeah, I think we're going to get there, right? I mean, I'm just looking at my workstation here. I have my 27-inch 4K, whatever it is, monitor. I have a mechanical keyboard that's louder than a dog barking. My laptop. It theoretically all I would need is one visor. I get effectively unlimited screen real estate. Right. Yeah. Multiple windows.

589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I'm glad we took time to prepare. You probably have it down by now, I imagine, for the big storms coming in.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
And I guess I could still use the physical keyboard, but I'm sure there's a way around that, too. I don't know. We're not there yet. Right. But it's possible.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
So Mr. Nick gives us real time. It is it is thirty five hundred dollars new.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I think where I got twenty five is I just checked on eBay like a few days ago just to see.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Which is terrible. Are they still on the Vision Pro for $2,500 now? Maybe I saw it for that.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
That's a hell of a loss. $1,000 off retail just came out.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
$2,700. The 256 gig used. This one must be bad. Oh, it's not a buy now, but it's going for a current bid of $1,027.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
OK, but they think that'll get bid up, I'm sure. Probably, yeah.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
In various price ranges, but I actually see several on here for $2,500. Huh. Yeah, that's not a great – that's not a typical value to hold for Apple. All right. Well, we got some feedback this week. BHH wrote in asking if there was any interest in the community in developing applications and applets for Cosmic.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
He says, I'm currently working through the process of creating an applet for it with no documentation on how to get it on the panel or panel settings. I'm about 75% of the way there. I did manage to get it in the panel. And I'm wondering if making a tutorial on it would be worth it. So I guess boost in or write in and let us know. I wonder if others are looking at Cosmic.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
It seems sort of trivial to talk about it, but did you see... That your buddy Zuck is really trying to get your business? Not only did he try, he succeeded. Oh, did he? Did you pre-order a MetaQuest 3S? I sure did, just before the show. Wow, really? Really. So, okay, why? What made you decide the MetaQuest 3S is it again? Because you've tried the Quest 2 or 3, I think?

589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I recall we used to talk about this when new Linux desktop environments were coming along. We would ponder if their toolkit and all that was worth the investment of time. But we have kind of just – with the rise of web applications, we've kind of just let that go, I think.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I mean I would even say like is anybody other than like very large professional applications or weird glass menagerie style, pet it because it's beautiful, indie Mac developers – One or two still exist. Let's not be that sad. Is anybody really developing desktop apps now? I mean, everything I'm doing is, even if I wrap it in, like, Electron or something like that, it's just a web app. I'm sorry.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
And we're all just going to live with it. I'll just buy more RAM. It's fine.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
RAM is very, very cheap. So, yeah, I don't know. I mean, all right, let's see what I have open right now. This is a fun game. I have Slack, which is Electron. Discord, which is not even trying to hide that it's Electron.

Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
It's horrible. And the only one that's not is obviously Chrome, but I would argue, you know, it's Chrome. And Fantastical, which, again, is one of those precious Mac apps I bought a long time ago. Yeah, it's not cheap either. It's not cheap, but if they try to move me to that subscription model, I'm probably not going to do it. I don't care. I use my phone for all that stuff now.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
And to be honest, because I use Gmail, you know, Google, whatever they call it, Google... Is it Google Work still, or is it Google Suite?
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
G Suite now, okay. Yeah, their web calendar is actually really good.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I'm disappointed, but I know. Sean wanted to give us some follow-up on something like eBPF for Windows. He says, you know, Windows actually has DTrace. He says he does believe that CrowdStrike could build something that uses DTrace to trap kernel syscalls and inspect behavior inside the kernel.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
He said, if I were Microsoft, I'd be working to build an entitlement into the kernel capability system, which would allow use of DTrace for certain signed pieces of software. Right now, if you enable DTrace, it's enabled for the whole system, and it's fantastic for bug hunting and hacking. Yeah, good old Brandon Gregg, right, in DTrace. That is a great point.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I forgot that Microsoft had ported that over, and I didn't realize that companies like CrowdStrike could take advantage of it.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Windows 14, okay, so we're going into the future, although the way they name things, who knows, is going to be a Debian-based Linux distribution with a modernized Windows user shell on top of it.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
All right. I mean I would be – I don't think I'd be too surprised to be honest with you. I don't think I would be.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I think it makes a lot of sense, right? Unless they have so – they're afraid of legacy and they have so much – but they're getting there. They're weirdly getting there, right? And they're showing such little care for the legacy Windows applications that are on there.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Yeah, that's definitely accelerating. I've definitely noticed that.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Yeah, like just use WSL. You're a developer. Have fun. It's fine.

589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Well, I've got a couple of quick announcements for you. Number one is we finally have an annual members program for the Jupiter Party. Some of you have been asking for a way to subscribe annually. So this is for all the shows. So you get the Coderly, you get the extra feeds for Linux Unplugged, you get the self-hosted post show and more.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
But also, when you sign up with the annual plan, you get one month for free. We just take one month off as a thank you for becoming a member annually. So I have a link to that in the show notes. I don't have like a special URL for it yet, but I know some of you have been asking for this. So it's here now. You can support all the shows on an annual membership basis. We really appreciate that.

589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Now, announcement number two. Coder Radio is now live in the Podcasting 2.0 app. So if you already have a Podcasting 2.0 app or you've been wanting to try one, now, before we go live, we'll have a pending item in your library. So you can see, oh, yep, the show's going to be, it looks like Tuesday this week at noon Pacific. Okay, great.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
So yeah, I have it too. Kids play with it. You know what it was? I think, Chris, there's a generational thing here. You and I, I mean, I think we get it, right? Like what it does. But these younger kids, I'm talking like preteens, you know, that like come to my house and all that kind of fun stuff, you know, friends of kids, right? Yeah. they love it.

And when we actually go live, you'll be able to hit play right there in your podcast player and just tune into the live stream as we're doing the show. Or as I'm doing the pre-show or the post-show, whatever it might be. It'll be right there now in your podcasting 2.0 app of choice. We are lit, as they call it, which is the live item tag.

And all you need is a new podcast app at podcastapps.com. Well, last week we talked about this pretty aggressive AI regulation bill in California. It had some good bits. It had some kind of harsh bits for open source. And it appears that Gavin Newsom has vetoed SB 1047, citing concerns of burdening AI companies.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
The bill's broad application and its potential to hinder innovation while not actually fully addressing all the risks of AI. He cited multiple factors in his decision, including the burden the bill would have placed on AI companies.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Quote, while well-intentioned, SB 1047 does not take into account whether AI systems is deployed in a high-risk environment, involves critical decision-making, or the use of sensitive data. Instead, the bill applies stringent standards to even the most basic functions, so long as a large system deploys it.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
I do not believe this is the best approach to protecting public from real threats posed by this technology." He says that the bill would give the public a, quote, false sense of security, saying, quote, So he's kind of saying there, like, You know, some of these smaller models may be the problem, and we don't think this addresses this enough.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
And I was concerned that it does – it burdens the open source developer too much with all of the having, like, hire somebody to audit stuff on an annual basis, et cetera. And Newsom is still open overall to regulation. He says, let me be clear. I agree with the author. We cannot afford to wait for a major catastrophe to occur before taking action to protect the public.
Coder Radio
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
California will not abandon its responsibility. Safety protocols must be adopted. Proactive guardrails should be implemented. And severe consequences for bad actors must be clear and enforceable. I do not agree, however, that to keep the public safe, that we must settle for a solution that is not informed by empirical trajectory analysis of AI systems and capabilities.

608: R With Eric Nantz
Okay. And could you, that's how I'm trying to see how to phrase this. Could you actually do like a full on, you know, let's say, I mean, I could definitely see the case because of R's natural strengths in, you know, displaying graphical data, right? Stuff like that. Could you do just a full-on dashboard for the director of blah, blah, blah at Acme Corp in R at this point?
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
I would say that there's probably good reasons to write certain types of software in Rust. With that said, I don't know if I had to bet, and I guess we can do it on the end of the year show if I was right or wrong about this. I do think we're going to see more drivers written in Rust.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Okay, so I know this could be my total ignorance here, but I'm kind of getting F sharp vibes, right? The use cases sound pretty similar. And the you can be a functional Pharaoh if you choose, or you can lean in on some features. Is that that fair or way off base?
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Okay, makes sense. So let's say I'm putting down my Serpentine and my greedy Ruby Mineways, and obviously I'm still going to be mourning for Objective-C forever. I'm wearing black the rest of my life, like a goth kid. But let's say I want to see the light of R. I know that there is RStudio. I know that VS Code has a pretty good extension. What else do I need to get rocking?
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
I would suggest because this is kind of a lot of the feedback was about the drama surrounding this, that, you know, if you are a rust advocate, as I call you, you know, crap people. Maybe honey instead of vinegar might be a little more effective dealing with the folks who maintain the kernel. Obviously, Linus is the obvious one, but it's a team effort and there's a lot of people involved.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
So is that the happy path for someone new? Just like if you want the easy way, the way where you get the most support is RStudio itself?
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Python and R. So it's almost like a super Jupiter notebook of some kind.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
You know, it is kind of funny how VS Code has, it's only what, is it six years old now?
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
and someone fact check me, we'll put it in the next show for housekeeping, but how it's just kind of become the IE6 of dev tools now, right? Everybody's running it. It's basically the default.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Yeah, that's one of the... Like, whenever I have to work on Windows, I do a lot of WSL2. Mm-hmm. Right? Because... You know, I've had to learn some PowerShell, but I just don't want to. I hear you. But EN Ruby is famously very not great on Windows.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
It's garbage. So I just run a WSL instance, and I was shocked the first time I tried this. I popped open VS Code, and it's like, hey, you also have this whole Linux system on your system. Are you trying to work in that? It was like two clicks, and it's like, okay, cool, you're fine. Act as though you were on your Mac or your Pop! OS machine. Don't worry about it anymore.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
So sometimes just railing at them and telling them that your way is better, even if you're right, which I don't know. I'm not a kernel developer. I'm not qualified to say yes or no on that, is just not going to get the reaction you want. So I don't know. That's my dad lecture for the day. Use honey, not vinegar. So, Eric, are you enjoying some tea with honey or vinegar in it?
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
And the terminal, I'm sure everyone knows this, right? The stupid embedded terminal automatically switched as soon as I said yes to the WSL terminal. If I put it full screen and ignored all the pop-ups to update and the crap that Dell put on it, so actually there's a lot, but ignoring all these caveats, I would not have known I was on Windows.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
All right. So we're starting out with R. We're downloading R studio or Positron rather. Either way, I guess. So like Python developers, we all have the pain of dealing with either, you know, Pyenv or Mize or insert your environment handling tool here. Does R have, I'm sure it does, right?
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
The problem of you need different versions of R for different applications that are either stuck because of dependency reasons or maybe it's something Greenfield and you want to get the hottest new stuff. Is there such a thing as like an RN for something like that?
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Ah, yes. Toolchain management as your system updates or just gets a little more cluttered. Always a good time.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
My favorite is because the insane way Mac OS handles their Unix toolchain is actually via Xcode. Oh, yeah. And it's like, oh, you updated Mac OS, so now you kind of have to update Xcode in some cases. So let's say you do, right? You update Xcode, and all of a sudden, your RubyGems file, it's like, no, I can't find OpenSSL. I hate myself, right? And Homebrew is broken.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
This is why you Linux guys who use Linux full-time, you don't have to experience the pain of having to delete Homebrew and then reinstall all of your Unix toolkit just to then go back into every project, which if you're a consultant can be quite a few, and re-download every package, hoping to God... that it figures out that there's a new homeroom install and, you know, links, right?
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
The SSL one was really bad because Apple actually, for good reason, there was that, I think it was Heartbleed. They literally got rid of it and they made it so you couldn't get the old one anymore. Yep, yep, I remember that. Remember this legacy application that people haven't called you in three years? Well, they just called. Oh, and you can't even run it. Good luck.

Oh yeah. You have some Nix people over there too. I think Chris is running Nix right now. I wouldn't be surprised. He's hopping around a lot. I know he does all the reviews of the distros. So, okay. What is, this is my last R question and then we'll jump to something fun. Or maybe, you know, maybe fun.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
What is the one thing someone, you know, an experienced developer coming from, I guess Python would be the most analogous, right? They're doing data science stuff in Python, but they need to understand moving into R.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
So yeah, it's great to have you again. And yeah, we should do a spiky hair special one day. That would be interesting, especially given some of the changes they seem to be making in their development process.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
All right. So Eric, let's shift gears. Folks may not know this about, well, either of us really, but we both like retro games. We alluded to our good friend Sonic before.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Jeez, guys. If you really want to read a sad story, anybody, just go ahead and read about Tom Kalinske's tenure as the president of Sega of America. It's like being the professor of the dark arts. You go in. You have to know you're screwed, right? I feel like once you've read the first Harry Potter book and they're like, oh, look, this dude's going to be the new Professor of the Dark Arts.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Well, that guy's got the demon ass. Hey, what happened to the last five?
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Michael Katz, the guy before Kalinske, got demolished. I mean, Kalinske himself gets stabbed in the back. It's just a crazy... crazy situation that we will talk about another day because the madness hasn't stopped. They had like a little wall where they chilled out and were making, you know, games about Napoleon and Caesar.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
But now it's Europe that's a basket case because America is basically making Sonic rehashes over and over again.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
That's all they make. Listen, you gotta think that there was somebody over in Sonic USA saw the Mario movie and was like, Yes, we have something to do. But we're not talking about that today, even though clearly I'm dying to. Yes. I got my little paws on the chromatic Game Boy system by a company called Mod Retro, who, believed or not, was started by the dude whose name just slipped my mind.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
But he was one of the original founders of Oculus VR before they got assimilated into Facebook, which then, you know, transformed into Meta. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Fascinating. So this is a FPGA, which for those not in the know, is a field programmable array, right? What that means is the hardware can be reconfigured. What that means for our retro gaming purposes is you are not emulating.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
You are shoving an actual cartridge in there, and it is not running on any kind of emulation. It runs... Let me see if I get this right. Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and... Oh, yeah, that's it. Yeah, Game Boy, Game Boy Color does not run Game Boy Advance cartridges, unlike the Analog Pro. I got into this via GameStop, believe it or not. I saw an ad on Instagram. This is how I live my life now.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Sega is always ready to slip on whatever banana peel you are willing to throw in front of it.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
And I impulse bought one of these, the GameStop edition. It's basically styled to look like an NES. I've got to say, this little device for the price is surprisingly full-featured. And you can read a very long blog post by these folks about the pains they took to get it pixel perfect and screen exactly right. Game Boy Color games are absolutely gorgeous. So far, everything I've tried works.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
They also are supporting developers to actually develop indie Game Boy Color cartridge games that you can buy at the other website, which I think is crazy. Oh, yeah, you and me both. That is wild. Eric, there is this whole community... of tiny one- or two-man shops where what they do for a living is they make new games for old systems. So in this case, we're talking new Game Boy Color games.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Great for content. So you also host a very successful podcast. And is it a Pirate Thing one? It's our podcast? Yeah.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
I've been talking to some. I'm trying to get some on. Because, I mean, we've got guys over here programming an assembly. They'll look at RR and they'll look at Ruby and be look at me and be like, oh, child, they could just go back. You know, what are you talking about? Objects. What's an object? What are you crazy? So who is this device for?
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Well, I wish I played Game Boy Advance games because I just love the Game Boy Advance.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
That's right. Avoiding the dark gaze of the teacher. Yes. Yes. So I was impressed with the build quality. It is not plasticky. It's like a magnesium of some kind. But they did the analog thing where they did a limited run. And the only one you can buy now is the deal they made with GameStop to make GameStop's weird custom one, which looks beautiful. But it's kind of a shame.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
I'm hoping that the plan is they're going to come out with a chromatic, I guess, advanced. If you want to infringe on the trademark. Nintendo famously very chill about their trademark.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Yeah. But my hope is that they do something like that. Because they... I mean, so it charges via batteries, but you could buy a rechargeable pack, which I actually think is great for long-term longevity of this device. Agreed. Because, yeah, lithium-ion built in, eventually that dies, right? Yeah, yeah. Your host. It has a USB port. Yeah, port.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Almost a USB hole port that you can plug in and you can live stream your Game Boy Color or regular Game Boy game anywhere you want while playing it handheld plugged into your computer.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
That is so slick. I was going to try it later this week, plug it in and see if I could stream it in the Discord here. Oh, yeah. Just to see like, what's the quality like? Seriously, how much does this hold up? Yeah. It seems good so far. So really impressed. Have you ever touched one of these FPGA devices?
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
So the problem with that, as someone who just tried that, is your 8-year-old, if you have one, your kid is going to turn on the game, look at it for 10 minutes, I'm back to you. And I ask you very sincerely, why wouldn't I just play Roblox?
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Now, your mileage may vary. In this household, it did not go well.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
I'm like, oh, no. Well, mine does Codewiz, and he's now building his own Minecraft mods. Oh, man. So he's hopeless. He's gone. Yeah. In fact, he used to love, he still does like Pokemon. So I'm like, all right, I've got a Pokemon fire red card, not fire red, I'm sorry. I've got a Pokemon yellow. It was the Pikachu one, the Game Boy Color one. I got this. Let's try it.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
He looked at it and he's like, okay, but I could just play sword and shield. My damn. there's your debbie downer moment there's your debbie downer moment all right but real fast i teased it and when you have to do it now because this will be all all the people chat about you saw the light of them and left the let's say desolation the degradation that is emacs
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Wow. So there you have it, folks. The flames have died down. It is over. The answer is Vim. Unless you're not old like us, and then you're probably just using VS Code.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Well, you see, the nice thing about, I used to just say for, for Emacs, Michael, we'll call him E-Michael. Sure. No, Michael Nax. I love it. Okay. That sounds like a product Apple might sell one day, actually. The Michael Nax Pro. Yeah.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
No, Tim Cook is suing me right now. Right. You gotta, if you're gonna stick with Emacs, right, at this point, you gotta start acting like Gandalf. Because it's not that you're stuck in your ways and you're not adapting to newer technologies. You've just seen, you're enlightened, right? You're like a higher level of being.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
This is how I justify my love of Objective-C, which is demonstrably worse than most languages. In almost every batch.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
It's like, let's take all the bad stuff from C. Memory safety? No way.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Hell yeah, let's get some pointers in here. Wait, wait, wait. I can send circular messages? First of all, what the hell's a message? And second of all, oh, I know. I want to call a function with brackets. everything's in a right now, is it? No, but it looks like it is. Also, if you're doing Coco, which if you're doing Objective-C, you definitely are. Yeah, you are.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Your method names are actual full sentences if you follow the idiom. It's kind of crazy. I still do that, though.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Do you know, I'm writing a fairly large extension to Alice right now. It's a GUI extension. And I restarted it three times.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Yeah, once in Angular, I did one experiment in React, and this third one that's actually going to ship super, super soon is just vanilla ECMA standard JavaScript. It is such a better development experience than using one of these heavy frameworks. Yeah, you don't get some of the sexy stuff. I forgot what Angular calls it, but there's the fancy two-way binding stuff that's really nice in Angular.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
But the standard has caught up so much, I don't care. And most importantly, if you do it the way I did, you avoid NPM. Yes. Circling all the way back is probably a good idea.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
This is one of the things that drives me crazy. Anytime you're somehow like compiling JavaScript or doing any kind of build process and it's a front, like it's not like a node application. Okay, whatever. But it's like a front end thing. I feel like you've just, you've drank the demon blood and you're hearing Cthulhu. You've gotten that. Fair point.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
And we just made that like, I look at old Rails projects that have like jQuery, Webpacker. It's like, it's really not that hard to just like rearrange items on a table via, you know, asynchronous JavaScript. Why did we add all this? I don't even know what to call it, like crud.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Just minify your dependencies. Yep. Host them yourself. First of all, computers are very fast now, so are phones. Browsers are very good. There is absolutely no reason for you to rely on any kind of create. You could even just do the import from a CDN thing most of the time.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Because it turns out that the JavaScript package you're using, someone else is probably using too, especially if it's something dumb like, I don't know, Bootstrap, right? Yeah. So if you do it the right way and the person's browser would be like, I already have this. I'm just going to use the one I have. There you go. It always ends up with me complaining about JavaScript.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Awesome. So for all your R needs, Eric is your man. So with that said, I think we should ask the obvious question because I have a feeling most of our listeners are not going to know what R is.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
No, that's pretty awesome. We should probably know for folks who aren't familiar, WebAssembly, right, is what it sounds like, assembly for the web. So it's a way to... Other languages can compile to it and run in browsers. JavaScript does compile to it. Usually, well, I guess not usually anymore, but the toy, the demo used way back when was like games, right?
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
But a key thing to remember is WebAssembly has absolutely nothing to do with how you package your JavaScript app. You do still do not need NPM or anything like that. Exactly. So you could still do vanilla. You could write it in R. I know a lot of folks. So we're going to have a Microsoft guy on pretty soon.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
I don't want to speak out of turn because I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure a lot of how some of their webby front end stuff works. It's like C Sharpie via WebAssembly. Oh, the plot thickens. Okay. Well, you know, they're embracing it. Yeah.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
That should be up, hopefully, by the time this airs. Like I said, today's the 21st. This is due to air on Monday. So, you know, inshallah, right? Hopefully it works. I do apologize for the inconvenience. It is always available, however, Coder.show.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
I know, yeah. The lionesses in PR are very tough. You got to watch out. Exactly. So, all right. Eric, the last question I always ask, what is one tool? It can be anything, right? It could be your coffee machine. It could be our tool. It could be, I don't know, a very special toothbrush that you can't live without. Oh boy, where do I begin? But honestly... Just one.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Yeah, if you're a gamer, it's basically like a hardware macro grid.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
All right. So Eric, where can the folks find you on the socials when they need help with their data processing?
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
As always, you can find the show, Code Radio Show on Twitter, Code Radio Show, I think, on Blue Sky. And again, just like Eric said, the Discord's the way to go. If you're going to do one thing, make it the Discord, because that's where all the conversation, really everything's happening.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
So that's like a RubyGems or a pip for folks coming from Ruby and Python, right?
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
And if you are normally a YouTube podcast user and still don't have feedback, you can just go to Coder.show, copy the RSS feed and do it that way into YouTube podcast. That does work. But again, hopefully by the time you've heard this, it is just there and searchable and good. So sorry about that little hiccup. Other piece of housekeeping, the Discord is popping.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Misa here again! Hello, hello. Welcome to Coder Radio. Today is the 21st of February in the year of Uncle Elon 2025. I'm your host, Mike Dominick. I'm joined today by Eric Nance, who will come on shortly. Just have a quick housekeeping couple things to go through. All right. You YouTube podcast users. So... Google is still processing the feed. Apparently, it had to all be reprocessed.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Wait, wait, wait. You don't get to decide. Okay, finish what you're saying, but we've got to jump back to that.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
So a quick question. Let's say we have Eric's amazing package in CRAN. And my application depends on it for who cares, whatever it does, right? And then it gets archived. Me as the, I guess I'm not the end user, but as the end user of that library, right? The developer developing the main application. What happens to my app?
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
So I guess my concern with CRAN would be, you know, let's say I'm trying to, I don't know, put in a package called tidyverse, but instead of the Y, it's another I. And what it does is it turns your screen tie-dye. And I'm doing this as a malware attempt. It seems that these wizards who curate this are going to stop me. You're absolutely right. I don't like that. What about my fake jQuery?
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
I mean, I've been doing this for 20 years. Come on. You're killing me. you're saying I can't just put an umlaut and have the same package name but you know like a little accent maybe a tilde somewhere and just like you know hack people's actually have people do it for me hack their own systems
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
People are just having a grand old time helping each other with coding questions, IT questions, a lot of gaming chatter, stuff like that. I recommend you join the Discord. That seems to be the newest popular community channel for the show. Bye. Bye.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
I mean, and really, you don't have to kick some projects anymore.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
I can't resist. It's really, although, you know, take kind of just being the lawyer here for the high priestess of, priestess, I should say, of a priest, I don't know, of Cran, I mean, I forgot which MPM package it was, but it was a massive exploit affecting hundreds of thousands.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
And we had one in the Python world where it was just somebody put in a fake package that had a suspiciously similar name to a very popular package. And it was malware, right? And people not paying attention just installed it.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Makes sense, makes sense. So, okay, I know the reputation, and I like that you put this in the notes, it is R is kind of a research language, but that's not true anymore, is it?
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Let me tell you something. The crap people are everywhere. They're like the Borg. They want to get their claws into everything. I am not surprised that they've gone for the beautiful R community.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
gigantic margin i mean i thought reddit would take off but it didn't it's it's the discord it's totally free it's no commitments you know you just come say hi be nice keep it clean you're good to go that link is in the show note last piece of housekeeping a little bit of feedback i love you message to me about this rust in the linux kernel drama I don't have a dog in this fight, truthfully.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
I will say, Pip is not... My favorite. This is, I mean, this is usually my dunk coming from the Ruby side of life. I'm like, Ruby Gems is just far better at handling dependency managements
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
on its own than pip although you get crazy situations there too that way beyond the scope of what we're doing today but that would be an interesting thing to kind of look at the crappiness of dependency management in general yeah that could be a whole series of episodes on that alone absolutely and this is how one guy on the ruby gems team ruined mike's weekend so You mentioned web development.
Coder Radio
608: R With Eric Nantz
Yeah, I wouldn't really think of R for that. Is there like a Rails or Flask for R or what's the deal there?
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Weißt du, das Gefühl, weil manchmal hast du einen verdammten Partner und du bist auf der Ambulanz und denkst dir, ich hoffe, dass nichts wirklich schlecht heute passiert, weil ich mit diesem Mann bin, weißt du.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Aber als ich mit deinem Vater auf der Ambulanz war, ob es bei der privaten Ambulanz oder am Feuerhaus war, habe ich gesagt, es ist egal, was passiert, weil wir alles können, was in die Pipe kommt.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Ja, das ist, weil Vater ein Arsch ist. Und du hast gesagt, Daddy's a dick. Und Ken und ich konnten nicht mehr lachen. Du hast immer wieder gesagt, Daddy's a dick, Daddy's a dick. Deine Mutter war so wütend an uns, dass wir dir das gezeigt haben.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
I was brand new EMT. They hired me. He wasn't there at the time. He was on a vacation in Arizona. And all these guys were like, yeah, Ken is this great guy and he's a legend and all of this shit they're telling me. And I was like, okay, this guy must practically walk on water, you know. And he came back from Arizona and he was like telling everybody what to do. And I was just watching, you know.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
And then... One day they paired me up with them. We were working on the ambulance together. And before we went into a place to take care of a patient, he tells me, I do all the talking. I call the hospital. I take care of everything. I'll tell you what to do. You just listen to me and do what I tell you. And I told him, fuck you, man. I know what I'm doing.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
I'm not one of these mopes that you work with here. I said, I know what's going on. Don't talk to me like that. And we were friends ever since then. I was the first person that stood up to him there.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
He had a partner who was a very strange person. And he was trying to tell Ken what to do. And Ken was yelling at him. Und der Kerl hat angefangen, an ihm zu schreien. Ich weiß nicht, der Kerl hat seinen Geist verloren und hat angefangen, an Ken zu schreien. Und Ken hat ihn an den Nacken gefangen und hat angefangen, ihn zu schreien. Und der Kerl hat sich verkleidet. Und er ist rausgegangen.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Auf der Rückseite der Ambulanz. Das war der Kerl, mit dem du gearbeitet hast? Ja, er war ein Paramediker, mit dem wir gearbeitet haben. Und er hat sich verkleidet. Und er hat sich verkleidet. Und er hat sich verkleidet. Und er hat sich verkleidet. Und dann wächst er auf. Dein Vater hat seinen Nacken verlassen und der Mann ist sofort aufgewacht. Und er sagt, ihr habt das gesehen?
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Ihr habt das gesehen? Er hat mich verletzt. Ich dachte, ich sehe nichts, ich gehe nach Hause. Und alle Feuerwehrleute waren so, ich sehe nichts. Was ist passiert? Wir haben nichts gesehen. Er war ein kleiner Mob-Boss, oder?
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Es ist auch nicht seine Spezialität, es auf den Knopf zu nehmen. Sobald er gekrankt wird, ist es ihm egal, wer da ist. Er wird sein Stück sagen.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Sie würden uns nicht mehr zusammenarbeiten lassen. Und die Feuerwehrleute weinten. Sie gingen zum Chef, und der Chef machte das No-More-Mike-and-Ken-Rule, weil wir nicht mehr zusammenarbeiten durften auf der Ambulanz.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Wir sahen zusammen Dr. Who an, am Sonntagabend. Und dann begann es, sich zu beschäftigen. Am Sonntagabend hatten wir eine schwierige Zeit, Dr. Who zu sehen, weil wir Ambulanzmeldungen machen mussten. Also haben wir beide entschieden, wir werden nicht mehr am Sonntagabend arbeiten. Weil wir Dr. Who unverzweifelt sehen wollten.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
So they were mad because we told them that we can't do anymore Sunday nights because we're missing Doctor Who and it's not right. So we made our own Mike and Ken rule for that one.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
It's kind of a hard thing to deal with, but that's how everything worked at that time. One of the ones that stands out to me was, there was a cop and he was wasted and he crashed into a car and he hurt the people in their car real bad. Und normalerweise würde das an Tickets und Anrufe führen. Unsere Polizisten kamen her und sagten uns,
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Don't mention that you smelled alcohol on this guy's breast or anything. Don't put it in your report. Don't mention it to the hospital. We don't want to get this guy in trouble. And I was like, he hurt people. He's wasted and he hurt people. And they were like, don't do it. And you know, you know they did the wrong thing and no one's going to hold them accountable for it.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Wir hatten einen Mann und er war groß. Er war wie ein 400-Pounder. Er war 22, 23 Jahre alt. Er arbeitete in einem Krankenhaus in diesem Bereich. Und wir wussten diesen Mann. Er war ein guter Kerl. Er hat niemanden nie verletzt. Und dann kam der Junge nach Hause. Er wurde ausgeworfen, lag auf seinem Rücken in der Küche und blieb einfach vomiten. Er war also ausgeworfen und starb.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Und das war ein weiteres, wo sie sagten, einfach die Fakten in die Sache legen, keine Aufmerksamkeit ausgeben. Off-Duty-Kopfen waren involviert oder so etwas. Nicht mal das erwähnen. Dein Vater war furchtbar, dass sie diesen Jungen verletzt haben und ihn im Grunde genommen getötet haben. Und es gab keinen Weg, es zu beweisen. Es gab nichts, was wir tun könnten, um es zu beweisen.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Sie haben einen Jungen getötet. Sie haben einen jungen Mann getötet. Sie haben sein Leben beendet. Und er hat niemanden getötet. Das ist das Ding. Es ist nicht so, als ob er eine schreckliche Person war oder so etwas. Er war ein netter Junge, der niemanden getötet hat.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Ja, Crook County. Ja, da gibt es keinen Zweifel darüber. Es ist ein Zauber von Mördern. Die Regierung ist ein Zauber von Mördern.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Es ist die Brüderlichkeit der Polizisten, weißt du. Und du bist so auf sie abhängig. Sie haben mein Leben ein paar Male geschert, dass ich heute nicht mehr hier sein würde, wenn ich nicht auf der rechten Seite gewesen wäre, weißt du. Denn du willst nicht derjenige sein, der sagt, oh, sie wissen, du arbeitest auf dieser Ambulanz und dann rufst du die Polizei, um dir zu helfen.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Und sie gehen langsam, weil das passieren könnte. Ich will nicht derjenige sein, der langsam geht, um ihr Leben zu retten. Es ist wirklich ein schwieriges Ort und es ist eine schwierige Entscheidung zu machen und du musst damit leben. Für manche Leute, die keine Seele oder Bewusstsein haben, ist das einfach. Aber das sind schwierige Entscheidungen zu leben.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Ich weiß, dass er früher in Cooke County Gefängnis war, als ich ihn kennengelernt habe, weil er seine Karte auf dem Dresdner auf dem Dresdner auf dem Dresdner auf dem Dresdner auf dem Dresdner auf dem Dresdner auf dem Dresdner auf dem Dresdner auf dem Dresdner auf dem Dresdner Inmate Card, you know, for when he was out on parole after getting out of jail. And I was like, okay.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
So that's one of the things I asked him about. And he gave me very little detail on it. I think he said like two sentences. And then that story was done. Er hat etwas über das Pimpen für das Outfit gesagt. Und er wird das nicht mehr tun. Und das war es. Das war der Ende der Gespräche. Er wollte nichts anderes darüber sagen. Und ich wusste ihn bereits gut genug, um nichts anderes darüber zu fragen.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Ich habe es tatsächlich im Papier gelesen. You know, when it went down, when they busted the place. But, you know, and then he told me about it and it didn't click in my mind until like a year later. You know, that that was probably the same thing, you know.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
I actually went to their wedding and the reception. I was a little drunk and got in a confrontation with some very Italian people there. Oh boy. And there was a guy with a I remember this guy, he was a smaller guy, you know, and he had a shiny suit. He had a very shiny, silvery suit. And I was laughing about it and I was telling the people at my table how he's a fattagatti.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
That's a word that my sister and I use for real Italian people. We call them fattagattis, you know. What did I do? Weißt du, was das bedeutet?
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Ich glaube, es ist nur ein ausgesprochenes Wort. Er ist ein Fadagadi. Das ist das, was wir ihn nennen. Er hat mich gesagt. Und er dachte, dass ich von ihm lustig bin. Also kam er her und kam mit mir konfrontiert. Also war ich aus meiner Schuhe in einem heißen Moment. Und dann kamen seine Freunde zurück. Und dann kamen die Leute, mit denen ich saß, aus ihren Schuhen.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Und ich erinnere mich an deinen Vater, der die ganze Sache überbruchte. Ja, weil das fast schmutzig wurde. Und das ist nicht das, was man bei einer Gebetsveranstaltung macht. It happens. It happens more than you would possibly think. I've been on that call a bunch of times where a wedding reception turned into a brawl or a stabbing.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Ich glaube, er wollte nicht, dass seine Gebetsveranstaltung so sein würde. Also kam er her und intervenierte. Ich weiß nicht, ob er dachte, er würde mein Leben retten oder was, aber... Das waren wahrscheinlich ziemlich ernsthafte Leute. Ja, aber ich war jung und stark und gut für den Scheiß in den alten Tagen. Und ich war auch bereit, darin zu kommen.
Crook County
7 | The Devil Won't Leave Me Alone
Mein Name ist Mike und ich war Partner mit deinem Vater in einer privaten Ambulanzfirma und in zwei verschiedenen Feuerwerken, die wir zusammen gearbeitet haben. Wahrscheinlich über die Zeit von 18 Jahren, also war das eine lange Zeit zusammen. Dein Vater war die eine Person, mit der ich mich wirklich komfortabel fühlte.

Ungefährdend, mit der künftigen Schließung von Monolith und zwei anderen Studios von Warner Bros., ist es vielleicht schon lange her, bevor ein weiteres Videospiel den Nemesis-System verwendet. Wie der Journalist Steven Totillo berichtet hat, wurde Monoliths Nemesis-System-Patent, welches noch die Rechte von Warner Bros. bleibt, im Jahr 2016 verabschiedet.

Und es wird nicht bis August 11, 2036 auslaufen. Das steht auf dem Kind of Funny-Kalender. Die einzige Art und Weise, wie die Patente vorher offiziell verlassen werden könnte, ist, wenn Warner Bros. die verabschiedeten Steuern nicht bezahlen kann, um sie aktiv zu halten. Das Video-Spiel von Wonder Woman wurde mit der Eröffnung von Monolith gecancelt.

Over on the My Perfect Console Podcast, as spotted by GamesRadar, BioWare Co-Founder Dr. Greg Zeschakow discussed one of the regrets he'd had, specifically launching Jade Empire at the end of the original Xbox's life cycle. The RPG hit Xbox on April 12, 2005. Coming up on the 20th anniversary. That's crazy. Several months before the November 22, 2005 launch date for the 360.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman New Details, Nemesis System Patent expires WHEN?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.26.25
And according to Zeschaka, Microsoft advised BioWare to launch it then rather than later. And this is the quote. And Microsoft's like, no, no, you should release it now. Right at the end of the cycle. Because it's a great time. Zeschuk sagte, dass es der schlechteste Hinweis war.

Wenn BioWare das Projekt ein bisschen zurückgedrückt hätte, um Jade Empire auf der 360 zu stellen, spekulierte Dr. Zeschuk, dass das Studio es aufgeräumt hätte. Ich habe das als aufgeräumt gelesen, also das ist mein gebrochener Gehirn. und hatte es bereit, es könnte ein bisschen mehr Geld kosten, aber es könnte Jade Empire in einem besseren Ort aufbauen.

Yeah, no, it's heartbreaking. And today I'm not very versed in Monolith, at least their history before Shadow of War and Mordor, right? I didn't know, I knew that they did the Fear franchise, but I didn't really know like how their condemned game that they made before that and just like how tenured they were.

Yeah, well said there, Nathan. It's very interesting to see because, yeah, you think, well, we build a game, it becomes super successful. There's no way we'd be laying people off. This is probably the time you'd be adding on more and making sure the content is right. But as you said, right, it's maybe a smaller team.

Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
You probably have used that team to where you needed to get for launch and then right afterwards. And to me, it feels like Marvel Rivals has... is now passing that honeymoon phase of where, hey, you captured everybody at launch. You've got them for the first three months. Now we get in kind of the weeds of three to six months. Can you continue to hold on to people?

And it seems like the team out in China probably already has that down, right? We got through the first initial hump. I think the team probably has enough to sustain and move forward. So it is unfortunate to hear, but I'm sure the restructure, the look probably has them in the right place for what the future is.

Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
Microsoft's new Muse AI model could help Xbox developers create parts of games in the future, and the company says it's even exploring the potential of using it to preserve classic games and optimize them for modern hardware. Microsoft's research has created Muse, a first-of-its-kind generative AI model that can generate a game environment based on visuals or players' controller actions.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
It understands a 3D game world and game physics and can react to how players interact with the game. Quote, this allows the model to create consistent and diverse gameplay rendered by AI, demonstrating a major step towards generative AI models that can empower game creators, explains Fatima Qadar, corporate vice president of AI at Microsoft.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
The Muse model was trained on a large amount of human gameplay data from the Xbox game Bleeding Edge, thanks to the collaboration between Microsoft Research and Xbox Studio Ninja Theory, both of which are based in Cambridge in the UK.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
This partnership allowed us to closely collaborate with the game studio to understand what needs to be in place and how we can responsibly unlock access to a large amount of gameplay data, says Katia Hoffman, head of Microsoft's research game intelligence team.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
This allowed Muse to access the equivalent of seven years of human gameplay, resulting in the model being trained on a billion image action pairs in total. Microsoft has released a number of examples of Muse model in action, generating gameplay and even allowing players to load visual elements into the game to prompt the model.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
This could be used for the early iteration stages of a game, but Microsoft is stressing this isn't designed to generate an entire game and replace creators. Microsoft is now exploring how Muse could help improve classic games and bring them to modern hardware.

Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
Quote, you could imagine a world where from gameplay data and video that a model could learn old games and really make them portable to any platform where these models could run, says Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer.

Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
We've talked about game preservation as an activity for us and these models and their ability to learn completely how a game plays without the necessity of the original engine running on the original hardware opens up a ton of opportunity. End quote. Microsoft is also exploring how Muse can help game developers prototype games or how teams could add new AI-powered experiences to existing titles.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
Yeah, Nathan, hard not to disagree with you on that one. When we hear the term AI in gaming, it just never feels right. It doesn't seem like it's going to look right. And it is the creators that we come for. We want to see them create that and make these worlds. And AI just doesn't seem to have that. Of course, I think, like you said, it's the big buzzword.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25

Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
And that right now, seeing all these layoffs, it just feels like a negative of where we're laying off a bunch of human beings who are creating all the things that we like and love and are buying from your company to then hope that 15 years from now, this can even resemble what we're currently wanting and needing. So yeah, it's an interesting place here.

Instead, in the U.S., the game was published by Atlus, and in Europe, publishing was handled by Bandai Namco. Speaking to the Sacred Symbols podcast, former SIE president Shuhei Yoshida explained that Sony wanted to work on a sequel to Demon's Souls with From Software, but the developer turned down and instead decided to work with Bandai Namco on what would become Dark Souls.

Quote, From Software was already working on the sequel, but they were so disappointed with how PlayStation treated them, we wanted to work with them again, but they passed on it, Yoshida claimed. Sony would eventually work with From Software again some years later with the PS4 exclusive Bloodborne, something Yoshida said he was happy to see. Interesting stuff there, Nathan.

Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
What do you think about that? How do you think that was handled?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
I really like that. Of course, we have an incredible community here with Kind of Funny Games. I feel the sense of community when I think about Twitch and whenever I live stream on Twitch. And that's what got me at the beginning.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
Yeah, I mean, Nathan, I'm right there with you, of course. I don't think you could possibly see the future of this game when you probably first looked at Demon's Souls of, man, super difficult, probably hard to master. I don't know if this game is going to be it, but yeah, when you look at it, I'm sure you're probably a little upset that you fumbled the bag, but in all honesty, I'm sure...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
from software is very happy with how that went because it went multi-platform. It went everywhere. More gamers got to play the games. I think it's even more beloved now that it's not stuck on one console being exclusive, but it's fantastic that gamers got to play everything. It is wild that Sony couldn't

I started reading your book last night, and I love the deep dive into community and what that means with both back and forth between streamer and the chatters out there, how they feel that connection. And so, yeah, I guess my first question is, why Twitch? What interests you in Twitch? And then I want to talk about the creators that you spoke with about this book.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
I feel like this is the best one. Let's jump into story number four. Pokemon Go developer Niantic reportedly in talks to sell video game business to Saudi-owned company behind StumbleGuys. This coming from Vicky Blake at IGN. Pokemon Go developer Niantic is reportedly in talks to sell its video game division to Saudi-owned Scopely for $3.5 billion.

As first reported by Bloomberg, the sale would likely include Pokemon Go, the hit augmented reality mobile game that sends players out into the real world to collect Pokemon. A source talking with Bloomberg said that while the deal was by no means complete, if approved, it could be confirmed in a matter of weeks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
Neither Niantic, Scopely, nor its owners, Savvy Games Group, were prepared to comment publicly on the reported acquisition. Savvy Games Group acquired Scopely back in April 2023 in a deal worth $4.9 billion that came after the Saudi Arabia government said it wanted to buy, quote, a leading game publisher, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
Scopely publishes a range of hit mobile titles, most notably The Walking Dead, Road to Survival, Stumble Guys, Marvel Strike Force, and Monopoly Go. Savvy Games Group also purchased two of the world's biggest esports companies, ESL and Faceit, for a total of $1.5 billion in 2022. Nathan, Niantic selling its game group right here. How do you feel about that one?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
You know, the chat says it so well. You are speaking the truth right there. That is how I think we all feel, and it is an eye roll. It sucks. That is the feeling when you read about this group continuing to buy up more and more game publishers and game developers that you might know about. And, yeah, on the opposite side, when I think about Pokemon Go nearing 10 years, right, Nathan?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
It is almost 10 years old now. It has probably got the fullest... out of its audience, it might be on more of the decline than the rise. I think after looking back on its history, maybe it's had its fill. Niantic probably couldn't make another Pokemon Go. I think we saw them try to make a number of augmented reality games where you go out there and they just didn't hit as big as Pokemon Go.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
So it might be time to get that money and kind of run and, you know, get out of there when you have it. They also have All of our data, right? I think Pokemon Go and Niantic know where I've walked amongst all of the streets and cities that I've lived in and the entire world. So I think they are very well aware of they could have that data and use it now in other areas to go make a bunch of money.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
They just wanted to recreate the world using all of our pictures, Mike. It's nothing to fair.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25
I don't think they need Pokemon Go anymore because they're going to sell that data somewhere else. So I'm sure they're probably looking at it as, hey, the game had a great rise. It's been a strong 10 years. We couldn't replicate that with others. I don't think it's still there. So let's take this money and run. And yeah, it's sad to see where it's going to.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Rivals’ Shocking Layoffs, Netease Responds - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.19.25

Nathan, I mean, to Tim, Geddes out there, hope you hit level 50 as soon as possible, my man. To the players out there, it'll be interesting to see what this kind of, if this goes down the handoff, do people still stick around? Where's Pokemon Go in the future? But, you know, that was big news, Nathan. Let's say I wanted something a little bit smaller. Where would I go?

Amazing. Yeah, you talk about the creators in this and you cover a number of creators. You brought up a lot of big names, but you bring up smaller names or more lesser known names.

Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
$10, you would have bought this without batting an eye. $20 isn't enough because they don't have enough of the knickknacks like everything else to just start jamming in. Because now your lizard brain that everybody has, when you see that cosmetic pack and it's nine items, but three of them are gun stickers that you're never going to use.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
We're talking Salt Lake City proper. Are you going to get up in the mountain range?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
One's a gun charm that you're like, I don't even think I'll see that in the game. Three are gun skins. Two are skins for your actual characters. And you go, yeah, I'll buy that for $20 to $30. That's how the new world works. The issue is, is Helldivers doesn't have that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
So when they put out something like this for $20, it's not going to look that flashy on a tweet when there's five items and three of them are super small because they know it doesn't really matter. Yeah, it's not good. It's the way of the world. And the issue is, is you always say vote with your wallets. Dear Helldivers 2 community, if you don't like this, you better stand up and not buy this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
The problem is there's going to be people who don't care. They're going to say, I love Helldivers 2. I want to support the devs, or I just want this skin pack because I love Killzone. Here's $20. So we live in a world where you get to choose. You get to make the decisions. But that's how business is going to work.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
They want every dollar that you get, and they're going to come up with fun, innovative ways to do this. And maybe you say, Mike, that's not fun. I don't like that. Well, guess what? For them and our business side of things, this is great. This is money making.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
I'm just going along for the ride. All right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
That's the problem, is that we're getting the pay to win, right? The issue is, is like Helldivers isn't Call of Duty, isn't Fortnite, where all of these guns are included, right? You're buying gun skins most of the time, or you can unlock the gun later on down the road. These guns are like very part of the game. Gary is going to be much better than I am with this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
But the catch is, as well, is you could say pay to win, but we're fighting AI bots. So who am I really winning against? The NPC robot over there or you? Because we're not in competition. So how is that pay to win? What are we really worried about?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Okay. Beautiful city. Surrounded by mountains. Have you been there before? I have. I have. I've been there twice now. A couple of road trips. That's where you kind of stop. You can stop in Wendover, Nevada, which is right on the border of Utah and Nevada. Or you go into the city proper and you go hang out. So I've been to the city twice. Spent an extra day there to walk around. Utah Jazz.

Why are we here, everybody? What a wild situation. What a great game. Nine months of goodwill built up. Nine months of just taking over the world. Now we're here, right? And we're on the decline, right? And we're trying to get players back in with a big new update, bringing in a new enemy type. We want to bring back that energy. And you just smack the community in the mouth with this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
And now, as they've seen, they're not happy about it. This team does have to make a move. If they want to keep that, they have to make a move. If not, they're going to sell this. They're going to pretend like it never happened. We'll put our blinders on and we'll just hope that four months down the road, we can do this again. And again, they're going to do it a lot. That's how this goes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
We brought it up earlier. How do you want this game to continue? Right? Like I understand that it was a $40 Titan. We're all happy, but if it's a live service game and it's going to survive for a year to two years, three years, as you want it to be, We gotta help that out. Again, I don't think that there's even, like, sides here between video and... No, there's not. You and I both understand.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
The issue is, is there's probably people inside that room that are like, this is probably a good $5 to $10 set. We can get away with that. People will nod their heads and be fine with it. And of course, then there's the greed of corporate. And they're like, no, let's make it 20. Because if we do 20 times X, we get this. If you put me at 5 or 10, we only get this. We could get that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
And they're like, oh, shit. We have to do that, clearly. And that's the problem. But this, if you sold this at $5, nobody would bat an eyelash. If you sold this at $10, you might get a little bit of an uptick, but this would sell just fine. You hit $20. You're at $20, dude. Now you go, hey, that's too much money. Even Snow Mike Mike is telling you, that's too much money.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
That's where I'm always surprised at. That's where I want to get in behind the scenes.

I mean, come on. You get to see the big stadium. Beautiful Park City, Utah right above it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
That's what I was going to bring up. So like, here's the catch Tim, right? You could be caught up on the $20 thing, but you got to also understand you might only want the skin. You might only want the gun. You can still buy it individually. There's a lot of games that don't do that. I mean, okay. That's a positive, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
So maybe you're in, well, you'd have to go back to the quote here of like how much that is. Right. So it's, I don't know where we at. I'm trying to find the breakdown. What's the thing that matters most here? The skin? Well, one, the skin, because it's the Killzone crossover, so that should be matters most. For it seems like what the audience is mad about, it's also the gun as well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
So it's a skin and gun that you have to have. If those two come out to $10, you're in. That's not how much it's going to be, though. Yeah. Those other three of those are 10,000. That would be an insane price for those things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I mean, but Entertainment Weekly, Marvel, Amy, it's all just like the perfect blend of like, yeah, that's the perfect little article they're going to write up, get the hype generated again.

Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
You would love to see a game like this. This is what the gamers want, especially with the Marvel IP. This is the type of game that I want out of that. Me too. Yeah, I'm hoping for something great here, and I hope that it does come see the light of day. Oh, 1943. It needs a better name.

Hey, still lit. Still both lit. Still both lit. Totally fine with that. Well, that's great, Tim, that you guys got that planned. Is it a drive or is it a fly? Oh, we're flying. Because you know what's still calling. You can hear the howl out there, Tim. I do hear it. Is it Wolf Lake Tahoe calling your name? You know what I mean? When will you go to Wolf? We got to do that.

Of course, for many of you out there, I'm playing Titanfall 2 campaign for the first ever time. That's crazy, man. And Tim, I'm excited to tell you I experienced it. Does it live up to the hype?

Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
How much was this game? Not this game, but the new game. I believe the new game was $70. You can price check me on that one, but I believe it was next-gen title. It was $70 for college football.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
no, because it's US here. So we're not really including FIFA in the worldwide stuff, right? So like it is going to go up against Madden as the US best sales here. So no, I think this is exactly what it was supposed to be, right? 10 years afterwards, we want college football to come back. College football has had the Best season of football in quite some time from a viewer's perspective.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
So there's just this giant fervor of, I'm interested, I want to be a part of this. I think it was the perfect mix of what everybody wanted. Yeah, this doesn't blow my mind because of how popular it was when it did drop and how much college football has had a great year this year. Just seems like the perfect mix of this was going to happen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Tim, when they do the time swap and you do the two levels at once and you're jumping back and forth, Tim, it's lit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
After 10 years, we asked for it. We got... Everyone loves Madden. Don't get me wrong. We love Madden. But we always loved back in the day when you had the choice of college football and Madden. You loved being your favorite college teams. You loved playing those characters in Road to Glory, Dynasty Mode, and then bringing them into Madden, going forward with it, right? It was this perfect blend.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
But also... It was a lot of the same. It was just kind of copy and paste, whether it's college teams or Madden teams. And then we went away from college football because we had the NCAA crackdown. We couldn't pay those kids. EA probably couldn't just keep producing two football games that were fine, right? That's the issue. And so now we're back where we have these NIL deals.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Kids are getting paid. We can put their names on the jerseys. You can have their likeness, right? And you have... I mean, just a bunch of stars this year that people want. We have a Manning kid down in Texas, right? Georgia and Alabama aren't the dominant forces as they once were. They're still very good, but they're not dominant. We have Travis Hunter playing both sides of the ball.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
He's everywhere. He's on YouTube. He's on TikTok. He's now the Heisman winner, right? Like there's just so much in real life college football that blends into the game. That's just this perfect mix of we wanted this and it's back.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
That's where we got to talk about it, Tim, because that's where I'm most fascinated. Is this an annual title? I mean, of course you would think, but at the same time, right? Is that the right move? I think next year, Having an annual title is the right call, right? You get to bring in all the quality that you just brought in that game over the past X amount of months, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Because of course I was mad at it, that it was lacking some of the features and some of the things that I would consider taking it to that next level when it first launched. And it's added all of that and more here towards the backend. So you would think that they're going to build an even better product for this following year, right? But after that, Is this an annual title?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Are we really going to put out two American football games a year? Will EA ever move to that dream of, hey, we're going to do every two years and just give you roster updates. This is a solid product here. You have it. We'll just update the roster next fall with all the new kids. You'll be good, right? We know that. I think that's a pipe dream.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
But, like, is this really going to just go head-to-head with Madden every single year now? When does that stop? Because it's already stopped once. We've proven that that's probably not the right business decision. I really am fascinated more of, like, is this an annual title is right. Yeah, man. But with how well it's selling. With these numbers. With how well it's selling.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
It's like, yeah, Mike, of course it's going to be an annual title. But where is that four years from now, five years from now? Yeah. That's why it brings me to this, Tim. Hmm. What if we brought back NCAA basketball? Okay, let's ride the high of what we're experiencing with football. And let's bring it to March Madness with some NCAA football. Now, EA, you backed out of NBA Live.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Okay, we backed out of NBA Live because NBA 2K stole our lunch money. And that, you know, they did. They did. But we can come back and hit them with some NCAA basketball now. Jokes aside, is that the move? No, it wouldn't sell as hard as this. It would sell, and it would probably be very popular for a year, but I don't think it's as big as college football. Absolutely not. That's the move.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Gotta go to the street. Gotta do it. Yeah, I don't know, Tim. I mean, it's... a huge accomplishment and you got to give them all their flowers, right? That is insane sales. They have that in the U S is the number one dollars amount. Like that's crazy stuff, right? Wow. It's a great game. NCAA football was something we all asked for since 2014. When it stopped, you're paying them kids.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Now it's a good game. It's a great alternative to Madden. If you're, you love men, but you're burnt out on the same 30 teams. So you want to jump over and play with your favorite college team. It's all perfect. But where is that in five years? Let's see.

Keep it there. Keep your head up, homie. Fuck this bullshit. Keep bringing the good out into the world. This one sucked, Tim, because this happened immediately. I mean, as fast as we were celebrating this and clapping, people were online just bringing this down. And it is so unfortunate that we live in a world where we can't even celebrate this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
We can't say, hey, this guy's trying his best to help out and do a good deed, and we should be celebrating that, helping it out. People should be going over, what resources can we add to this to help you a little bit further? No, we just immediately went on, just started throwing things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
And the best is whenever you read these, someone would follow up and was like, do you have any sort of source or information to this? Dead silence. Like, that's great. That's great. We're just going to tweet about this all day long.

Keep your head up. If you're someone in his circle, make sure you're always there. Patting him on the back, helping him out, pumping them up. If you're here in our community and you love what this man has done, go out there, celebrate it on Twitter. Give him a little thumbs up. Give him some love. That sucks. This sucks.

And yeah, that's one of those where you get a bunch of this, Tim, and that's where you shut down. People can shut down easily and be like, no more of this, that I'm never going to do this again and walk away. And then all of this goodwill, everything that this man's bringing to help others get jobs and help them get back on their feet is all gone.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
When we were talking to Zant, that's exactly what that is. There are certain levels to Path of Exile that is simply to say, hey, I love your game and I want to support this indie studio that is building this game. And that is what you're doing it for. I find that acceptable. So it's not the, oh, every single skin is $200. That's not, no, that's not how it is.

You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Yeah. You know, we're coming to a realization here. It's a big moment, right? Helldivers 2 has built up a lot of goodwill.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
A lot of people have enjoyed what they have brought, how they have added in content for free, the war bonds being pretty cheap, how you can also earn enough credits to buy more war bonds and kind of stay on this endless cycle without having to really spend a lot of money like you see in other live service games. And today, that changes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Today might be the day where Helldivers looks at you and says, hey, Fortnite does it. Call of Duty does it. Can we do it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
No, Tim. Like I said, they have a lot of goodwill. They got a lot of love going on for this property and this team right now that I think the right move is to reverse this and try to figure it all out. On the opposite side, someone who is really ingrained in the live service world, right? This isn't anything different, right? You go to Call of Duty, it's $20 per skin pack.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
You go to Fortnite, they're selling a Snoop Dogg pack for $32. Now, of course, all of that varies with how much items and cosmetics you get in that. But, like, this is the way of the world when we talk about live service microtransaction games. This isn't anything crazy. This is right online with everything else.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
It's still early, right? If you are a true ski fan like I am, ski and snowboards, winter sports fan, you know that like early December isn't quite prime time yet, right? It's getting going. The holidays kind of push the families and early skiers out there. But really, you wait till like January, February. That's when you really rip, right? So that's what I wanted.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
No, I think a number of full-priced titles have sold things like that that I'm not batting an eye at. At these prices? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I need education here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Warzone, free-to-play.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
But you feel better because you're in Warzone for free. But yeah, you're buying skins just like this. It's just, I think you've come so far with the goodwill of this game that it might be shocking to many, right? Because you think, oh, it's a $40 title. It's excused from any sort of microtransactions. That's not true. We've lived in a world where that is not true.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
We are now in 2024 where we've now latched onto the thought of only free-to-play titles can sell me stuff.

That's kind of crazy. Now I got to do math. You're breaking it down by the half. So I got to buy two different bundles. That always sucks, right? But like, here's the moment, right? This team has already, this community has already once caused a big uproar with the PlayStation automatic sign-ins, right? Where they were like, no. no, we don't want to keep doing that. You've got to change that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
And they've changed their ways. They've listened to you. They've gone on the path to try to keep the positivity. This is also a game that is now nine months into its making. It does not have the big audience like it used to, right? There's a large audience for this game, but it's not changing the world audience like it was back in February.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
So will the audience get loud enough that can't cause a stir to change this? I mean, yes, they can do that, but I don't know. We're going to find out in the next week if they change that or not.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
We've got to pay the bills. We've got to keep the money coming in, right? You want us to keep this live and in action. We're going to have to continue to keep turning a profit somehow. You know, you have a crossover. But shouldn't that be the $10 war bonds? Well, the $10 war bonds is one thing, right? But now you have crossover events, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
And that's that kind of thing where if you were to get behind the curtain and really see the marketing and the business side of things, they'd go, well, this is our moment, right? If there's ever a moment where we could charge for something that's not just the war bond, it's these crossovers, right? And now it's the first one to say, hey, this is going to be the future, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Because you think of all the different Sony IP that they can bring into this, all of the different fun sci-fi alien IP that they can bring into this. It's got the player base.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
You've talked about this with every other game. Why is Helldivers different? I understand that it's the goodwill.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
But it's not. That's the issue. You're excusing it because of the $40 title, but you know in the past decade that hasn't been true. I know that we're getting into microtransactions and cosmetics, but it's been DLC. It's been all of this before, so it's not like it's something new. But it's the price.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
You know what I mean? I mean, but that's changed over the past five to seven years now where it's like it's not $5 anymore. It is 10 to 20. It's 30. Like that is the new rule of the way. And for a team like this, right, they could put that out for five. If this was $5 only, I don't think this audience is uproaring. Yeah, I agree.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
$20 for this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Absolutely not. $20 is too much. From what I've experienced in all the other games, $20 is too much, right? Because the issue is, is with Killzone, they don't have as many knickknacks as the other guns, right? It doesn't have gun charms. It doesn't have backpacks. It doesn't have shoes. It doesn't have multiple cosmetics, right? Like, you have to add in all of this. You know what else?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
I didn't have shoes. I'm just telling you. I'm just telling you, it's funny because someone, Eldon Lord says Mike's the wrong person to ask, but it's like, I am the person because I buy all of these and I see every single different market and what they do. Right. And the problem is, is you're selling $20 for one skin, one gun, and three little tiny things that really don't make a difference.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Right. So really we're buying it for the skin and the gun. You're buying it for kills. This should have been $10. Point blank period. When you looked at this, this should have been $10. Both of them together should have been $20. Half the price of the game, so you $40 people who are bringing that up can just say, hey, it's half the price. Sorry about that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
sure, we only spent $200 and we're making a million, but here we only spent $5 million, but we're making a billion. And it's like, what's the point of even investing in this?

Yeah, just a little. But yeah, I don't know, man. This is news that kind of came fast. I feel like last week there was rumblings of this and there's smokes, everybody. Sometimes there's fires.

What are the ways they can fuck this up? I mean, I feel like if they were to come out and not actually announce a couple major first party Nintendo games for this year, I think that would be a very big problem. Like, I think if we don't have an idea of a roadmap through 2025 after April's event, I think that is when I'm going to be like, oh, fuck. Bad. I'm getting bad vibes from this.

How wet am I going to get? What smells am I going to feel? Yeah. I've heard this makes a lot of people get wet. I was just in your car. Your lights were still on. How much paper did you waste? But is that all I did in there? You are not safe.

What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
I don't think they'd show a 3D Mario in this original Switch reveal trailer and not launch with it, but they didn't. And I was shocked watching that Nintendo Direct when we saw Mario Odyssey and it was not at all around launch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25

What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
No. Fair enough. Here's the thing. I think that they probably could have some say. I don't think they're going to... I don't think that that's a good thing for anybody. I don't think... I don't think that the Pokemon company is the company that we're like, you know what? They were going to go too hard in trying to take all of our money, but we're going to stop that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
You don't think the Pokemon company cares about the quality of Pokemon?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
My Pokemon company cares. The best thing about what you're saying, Bless, is they do that, and they don't just put out... They put out Scarlet and Violet. You know what I mean?

Who could have seen this coming? What was the plan? Who could have possibly seen Netflix games not working when they promoted it really badly, when they were very ambitious with their plans, but what were their plans? What were their plans? Also, wait, they have Hades? They have access to some of the best games ever? But they're not letting people know that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
There's a suite of games for all the dumb reality shows on Netflix that the people fucking love. Selling Sunset and all the Love is Blind and all that shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Cool. That makes sense. Like when you load up Netflix, you see those things. I'm like, I ain't playing that shit. But like, I can see people.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
How, you know, like all this story, I feel like we're like one step away from my, who's going to replace it. Jade Raymond, that's going to fix everything. You know, the story just feels like we've heard it a million times. over and over and over again. And it's just like, why are people expecting a different result? And that's just not going to happen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
And again, we keep saying this, but like Netflix games has an incredible lineup. Like they're offering, if you just have Netflix, you have access to immortality. And I keep going to Hades, but fucking Hades. Wasn't there Oxenfree?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what we need. Because there's no way that we don't get at least those. I don't think so. Yeah, I'm hopeful. I'm saying they could fuck this up. I don't think they're going to. And I just want this clear because I don't want any. I told you some motherfuckers coming at me. If Mario Kart ends up being a launch game, I'm not saying it's not going to be a launch game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
And a ton of other stuff. I remember last year at Summer Game Fest, I forgot what it was, but it was like a... XCOM style like volleyball game and it was super fun yeah yeah I remember that um so yeah there's like a lot of stuff there but it's like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
it unless you really freaking know you would never know how to access it and it's still confusing to access it even if you do know yeah and i feel like if that's all the case like what's the point of even having it if you can't market it and people don't know it's going on and then bigger than that why would you have a triple a studio did you have a triple a studio did you ever play the gta games were there yeah did you ever play far cry 3
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25

What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Back in, like, 2001 or 2. Probably 2. It was, like, rated M, and it had all these fucking things. All the cut scenes, like, they said, motherfucker, and I want to see you bleed, and all this stuff. I was like, holy shit, video games are crazy, man. Now it's like, all right, that is either corny as fuck, or we've seen it a million times, and it's, like, not even special at all anymore.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Like, yeah, it's very funny.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
I think I have a good example for you. And maybe I'm crazy here, but I had a similar feeling yesterday about this very game. NBA Street Vol. 2. I'm sure it still holds up in a way where it's still a fun game or whatever, but you can't explain to somebody how special that game is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
I'm just saying everybody that's so sure it's going to be a launch game. You might be disappointed. I think Mario Kart is real, and I think it's coming this year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
And the previews. Right. Remember VGC and a couple others got to actually play the game and everyone's glowing about it. And like to think back to 2015 when we got all the videos from the Pachinko machines in Japan of seeing the Metal Gear Solid 3 like iconic moments like done in Japan. a very similar style to what we're seeing here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
It's fucked up. It is fucked up. I don't know. I'm going to regret these words. Mario Kart was also in that original reveal, and it wasn't even a launch title for the Switch. When did Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
I'm just being like, but can you imagine if it was just an actual video game? And now it seems to be an actual video game and it looks as good as it plays, it sounds like. And it's giving people, fans of Metal Gear Solid 3, what they want. And those are lofty expectations. So with all that, so far, shout out to Virtuous.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Yeah. Before we get into this real quick, I just want to say, I'm very excited for this. I saw the teaser video that they sent me yesterday. Barrett, I put the video, the YouTube link there. I actually want to watch. It's a minute-ish long, and I want to watch it. But read this first, and then we'll watch it. It's not what you expect.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Very, very, very inspired by Star Fox 64 specifically. It's a love letter to that game. I, of course, am obsessed with that idea. I feel like Star Fox is the most fumbled IP that Nintendo has access to. I think it'd be so simple for them to turn that shit around and turn Star Fox into an animated series, animated movie, an IP that's bigger than just games and to raise its quality bar across the...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
the scene but um there's been a couple of these uh more indie starfox all things first squadron is another one coming later this year for steam and switch definitely have my eyes on that um that one looks very cool but this one um them specifically calling out starfox 64 i was like okay cool cool like i i want to see what y'all have to offer here and then i watched the teaser and it was just
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
there's no gameplay in the teaser which i'm always a little surprised by um there's screenshots of the game though okay cool this looks good i'm excited for this i want to watch this teaser with you though because okay i like it all right i love that so barry can you bring up the teaser the youtube link that tim put in there first all systems go keep your eyes open
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
In fact, I think that's what my predictions were.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Yeah. I want to play this shit. I'm super stoked for it, man. I mean, look, the thing for me, Star Fox is... It's a delicate thing because there's a lot of factors that have to go into it to make it great. And I do think that voice acting and well-written lines... I'm not saying this is freaking Shakespeare, but it's like... it either hits or it doesn't hit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
And like hearing everything that they have in the beginning there, which was 90% just ripped off lines from Star Fox 64. It's like, oh yeah, cool. Clearly they get that. Because I feel like a lot of the other Star Fox likes that I've played, Dee Davis in the chat brings up Exodiac is one inspired by Super Nintendo Star Fox on Steam.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
I love that, but I'm not really a fan of the Super Nintendo game compared to the N64 because of the voice acting and performances and more orchestral style to the music. And it feels more like Star Wars. Like it feels like you're playing a movie and it feels like the entire thing is a set piece as opposed to an arcade game, you know? But anyways, this one's the one I'm most excited for.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
It's a tough question there, because I think the answer is yes. I think Metal Gear Solid 3, since it's already designed by Shinkawa and Kojima, that no. I think they're pulling this off, but if they were to make a new Metal Gear... Yeah, I feel like not having them, look, it'd be different at the very least. I'm not saying it would be bad.

We've seen that a million times where creators create something that, I mean, I think Top Gun Maverick's a fantastic example of, hey, Top Gun, classic, everybody freaking loved it, but then there's a new one directed by somebody totally different, like story about someone totally different, and it's way better, but it doesn't take away the quality of how people feel about the first one.

Listen, I'll take what I can get. That would be a bummer, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility as well.

Here's the thing, though. You saying March 12th did make me think that we are less than a month away from the Switch 2.

What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Which makes sense for how they've been doing things and the announcements they made a couple months ago, two months ago, whatever that was. Well, looking at this, obviously, it's still in the regulatory approval and all that stuff. You've got to assume this is going to go through. Also, a wild amount of money. They were talking about $3.5 billion, almost as much as Star Wars cost for Disney.

At what point do I start getting really scared?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
I can say that from experience. My wallet has been I can't say stolen from because I willingly have given it to them time and time again. And it's very unfortunate because here's the thing with this. The amount of acquisitions and consolidations we've been seeing specifically with the Saudi Arabia-owned groups
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
What comes from that, how we've seen that already affect other games and other movies and TV shows and just everything out there when it comes to media and entertainment. And it hasn't necessarily been great. And scopely, we've heard a lot of things about in terms of Monopoly Go. I personally don't have experience with it, but I know enough people and I've heard very conflicting things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Some people are like, Hey, I get to play. Yes, there's a lot of things you can do to monetize, but you don't need to do them. And then I hear other people being like, Scopely are the absolute worst. They are what people talk about when we're talking about how bad microtransactions can be in mobile games. And I just got to be honest, as a Pokemon Go player, I can't imagine it getting worse.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
And that scares me because something tells me it is going to.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
I'm sure. Yeah. And Pokemon Go has, I think, always tried to, at the very least, come up with the monetization levers that fit the game. But I think over the years, they kind of lost sight of it a bit. And I think that during the pandemic, there was a very, very big moment where the game could have died.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Why are they doing it like this? That's interesting. I mean, because remember. That's what it was like with the Switch 1. Super excited for the announcement commercial thing. And then when they did the showcase, everyone was kind of like, I'm a little more trepidatious of this. They had some really big wins overall.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
right yeah like people can't go outside they can't pokemon go you know and because of that they allowed people to remote raid which is kind of like the biggest exciting gameplay thing of pokemon go it's how you get all the legendaries and stuff for the most part And allowing people to remote raid as opposed to having to go out and raid was a huge thing, obviously.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
And it created a surge again for Pokemon Go, even during pandemic times. And then once we kind of got out of that, little by little, they like monetized it more and more and more and then limited it. And it just turned into a thing of just like, oh, wow, like. You gave everyone a taste of what this should be like, and it still was monetized.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
But then you took that away and over-monetized it even more. And so now it kind of feels like, in a lot of ways, we're paying more for even less, which is not good. But then that becomes the standard, and then you just are stuck in this cycle. So I think that you can apply that logic to many different levers that this game has to get you to entice you to want to pay for stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Luckily, I'm almost at the end of this journey. for the grind, at least. But who knows? They can always add some bullshit, and any day now, they're going to be like, we're going to level 60, baby. I'm going to have to really think about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
I mean, for me, it really comes down to, is there gameplay that I'm interested in? Is there something here that I want to do? I want to catch them all. So far, I've had a lot of fun catching them all. It's cost me a lot of money, but I...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
to say is it worth it or not is a silly thing just because like at the end of the day no it is not worth it but at the same time i've enjoyed it and i find value in it um so if they can continue that then sure but um again that's all just the personal my wallet side of this conversation like looking at this overall um having scopely have even more of the biggest mobile game brands like uh that creates a monopoly
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

But their biggest win was a Breath of the Wild trailer, which was essentially the launch trailer for a game that we had been anticipating for years at that point for the Wii U. You know? Yeah. It hit different.

What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, just not doing this and just being okay with the amount of money that's coming in. Yeah, that is the answer. But people don't like that answer. They want more. They need more of less. But yeah, no, I think that's kind of it. I think that the problem is, and we see this a lot in pretty much everything that we do.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
If you have one giant cash cow and it sets a standard for how much money can be made from something. If you make another project, you expect it's going to do that. And even if you budget it smaller and have different considerations for what you're expecting from it, I still think at the end of the day, it's easy to look at it and be like, well...

Yeah, like a directional tap. Yeah, like a finesse shot in soccer. So that's what I try to do sometimes. But I'll be honest. Our league, our team level, right? We're playing in the recreational league. They have intermediate leagues. They have advanced leagues and stuff. We're at the very bottom. And the reason being is that we... Don't have, I think, the teamwork down yet.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
I mean, it's... I think there are so many fascinating things about this. One, that this isn't Bungie, right? This is a spin-off studio project or a studio LFG looking for group. You know, this is... I think... But again, the fact that Bungie tweeted this out in 2023 and then broke off from there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
And the fact that they're forming a studio around this project and around future projects coming off of this. I think there is an investment and a belief here from Sony that there's a nugget here that could have potential to be something big, be something good, or at least align with the vision of what they want.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

hey we we've had this live service plan we are you know we tried concord we have marathon coming up we have fair games coming up like this is a thing that we want to do how do we continue this and do it in the most fitting way possible you know i look at this and like there are things i look at here and i kind of roll my eyes when i see or when i read the genre being a fighting platformer moba right it being seemingly a mix between a smash brothers game and a moba title man does that sound
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
so whack to me that sounds like nothing i ever want to touch mainly because i'm just i'm me and i think a lot of people who aren't moba people just have no desire to like become moba people right like it's one of those genres where if you're not in it you are out of it you know i mean it's not like an action game where it's like all right cool i like these these kind of games over here but i'm down to try an action game i feel like mobas are just kind of an off-putting genre for people that aren't
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
all in on playing a league of legends or playing a dota 2 or playing the mobas that are out there and then on the flip side right and that's me talking to somebody who loves smash brothers of oh you said the platformer fighting thing i'm in ah moba on the flip side if you are a league person if you are a moba person or if you're more open to this i love that barrett here's brought up the crash mobile game that came out a
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
My thing then is, do you read the part of it having Smash Bros. type mechanics and go, oh, that's not what I want in a MOBA? And for Studio LFG here, are they looking for that audience or are they just looking at the audience of, I guess, younger gamers that might just want a multiplayer game and going, well, you want to craft something brand new and different and weird? Because I...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
Out of all those things, right? Like, I read this. I'm like, that's whack. That doesn't sound like it's for me. Yada, yada. At the end of the day, like, if they're just going for creating something fresh and new, I can't really hate on that. To your point earlier, like, I think we just have to see what it is. We just have to see what the final product is. I want to know what a frog game is.

My question, because as Bear brought up footage of Pokemon Unite and Crash... I forget the name of the Crash game. Crash... Not Crash Bash.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
Crash Team Rumble, thank you. Crash Bash was from back in the day. That was like the Mario Party game I used to love. I had the demo disc from Pizza Hut. No big deal. But, you know, Bear brings those up, and honestly, it does make me think about how much of a market there is for a mobile crowd. Specifically, I think, like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
a growing younger mobile crowd that might not be able to get into League or be able to get into Dota, right? Like, I think you want to create more pun intended lanes for people to get into the genre in a way that's appropriate and that's going to speak for them. And my hope with this, because...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
With there being a studio being launched, with this game being the foundation of it, I hope that PlayStation has their projections set right for what this is going to do, or how this is going to do in terms of player base and sales, or whatever those numbers look like. And... I hope it's low, and I hope it's scoped. I hope this isn't scoped like crazy, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

All right, when you see me going for the set, I need to step back. That way you can, like, step up when the ball's in the air and jump up and do the thing, right? Like, she's been training us in that way. The problem is that people get too excited. The ball gets to our side of the field or side of the court, and they automatically just want to hit it back.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
Because I read this, and as I read this, I think the thing that comes to mind is Team Asobi. And what I hope out of this studio is that they are the multiplayer Team Asobi as far as what they're bringing to the table. Hey, work fast, work nimble, put out cool, weird projects that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
might be able to get a player base in the way that you look at a Fall Guys, and a Fall Guys is so fucking successful because it was a weird, different thing that at the core of it was super fun.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
That's what this studio needs to be and should be, and I hope that, like, Project Gummy Bears, if this is the Project Gummy Bears studio, of course it is, like, I hope that is able to bring in that type of audience and then lead into the next thing of, alright, now we're doing this other weird, like... I'm trying to think of a random ass genre, right? Fighting, I don't know, climbing game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

A bear type game, yeah. Them even saying, hey, we're taking inspiration from frog type games. I'm like, all right, what's the bit here? Because y'all are fucking with me. Y'all are making jokes here, and I can't wait to see what that trailer is. Hopefully, maybe, fingers crossed, we see that trailer at a PlayStation showcase or State of Play that happens in the next month.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
it's certainly speaking to like that audience in a way where EA is like, oh, we want to support this over anything else over like over a Titanfall or over like, you know, the other shooters that we could bring back or do whatever with, right? Like Battlefield, I wonder if you can ever get back to the glory days of it.

And like, it's just, it's such a different machine. You want to talk about something that could be its own thing on the NASDAQ, right? Like Call of Duty,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

is elsewhere now right battlefield i wonder what ea wants it to be because like i feel like when when you had like a battlefield one come out it felt like such a cool moment for it right like different setting different vibe like a lot of people like the campaign with the series of vignettes thing that it had going on like that felt like a vision for battlefield but since then from the from an outside looking in perspective i see the last like

two Battlefield games come out, and I'm like, I don't know what's going on over there. I don't know if those are getting the numbers that they want. I feel like I don't see people as engaged with Battlefield in the last couple of iterations, and I don't know if that's a sign for, hey, it's over, or if EA, they look at it and they're like, oh, we're almost there. We're knocking on the door.

um i will say for as far as pr marketing statements go that was very big like pr speak but pretty good pr speak as far as like the reasoning behind it even though i don't believe believe him for a second i'm like you know what yeah being like oh we want to maintain the value to like you know of what we're delivering and so if we want to give you something that's 100 we want to make sure it's valued at 100 i think that's technically the right answer to this question that said

Wow.

PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
that said um i think the key word in the title of this article is yet it'll happen it'll happen when everybody else does it right but i think i wouldn't be surprised if there's a conversation at ea regarding uh prices that is how beneficial would it be for us to do this right like we're getting people to buy FIFA or EA FC every year. Would the $80 thing, would that fuck that up?

Happy birthday, Snowbike Mike. It always kills you with the one smoke machine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
Would that be the straw that breaks the camel's back as far as like being able to get people to buy the same game every single year? Like, I wonder if there are conversations regarding that for the kind of games that EA makes. And then also like, how much they feel like people will buy EA games for. Like, I think I wouldn't be surprised if they're like, Ooh, can we get away with this?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
And like, would this fuck up the bag, the bag that we already have? We are, we already, FIFA is already the best seller. One of the best selling games every year, like the number two or three behind call of duty every year. Do we fuck that up for ourselves if we raise the prices and give people a reason to not want to buy this every year?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
Yeah, and we were talking about it. We're assessing the situation.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
Sure. I mean, I think everybody's thinking about it. That's the thing is like, you're talking about a business that's, you know, looking at market conditions and going with their primary objective, how do we get our shareholders the most money as possible, right? And I think like, again, coming back to the idea of what do we...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
how do the market conditions change how we treat our sports games or change how we treat our games? Like, I wouldn't be surprised if they're also having a conversation regarding, does this finally go free-to-play?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
Like, if it is a thing of, if it's a thing of, hey, everybody's going up in price and we're in this weird place as FIFA where people, or EAFC, whatever it is, where people are buying our game every single fucking year and we're making so much money off of Ultimate Team and, like, our number,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
Which is a higher priority for us between seeing the diminishing player numbers because we decided to raise the price, therefore making less money off of Ultimate Team versus...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
What if we can keep the $70 and like maybe maintain that number of people, even though I think in the last year you've seen FIFA actually, or you've seen EAFC actually dip in terms of numbers, or could we maybe make this free to play thing work and like, you know, just go all in on ultimate team and Nicola Diming and doing all that stuff, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
Like no matter what, they're having a conversation about what to do with EAFC, especially after this last year where you've seen those numbers go down. But I wouldn't be surprised if the answer isn't go up to $80. It could be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Actually went really well. It was our last game of the season and we ended with a W. Whoa.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
One more thing I'll say, too, is when I think of the people that are buying a FIFA every year, EAFC, I'm going to fuck that up forever. I think back to when I was the person buying FIFA every year, right? And for me, it was always the thing of, All right, the game is $60. It comes out in, like, September, October-ish.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
Every year, like, clockwork, I would wait for Black Friday because Best Buy would always have it, like, 20%, 25% off. And I had my Best Buy Gamers Club Ultimate thing, right? And so I'm like, if I can get this thing at a square $40, that's going to hopefully make it worth it for me. I think there's so much of the audience that is...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
like treating it like ritual or tradition of, all right, it's time. It's September through November. I know I'm going to pick up the new EAFC because I just do it every single year, right? And like, I'm going to see if I can get it on deal. I'm going to see if I can get the thing, but I know I'm going to buy it because I'm just initiated in this process of getting it every year.

You were doing so good. It's also one of those housekeeping that's very wordy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
I think the $80 is going to break a lot of people out of that process. I think when you raise the price to that, I think that's going to make people go, well, fuck, why don't I just play the, the FIFA? That's the same one from last year. Like I could see that happening.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
I'm not saying that's the truth for everybody or even most people, but I, I could see that fear of EA being like, Ooh, I don't know if we can do that with FIFA.

And then Roger replied with another link from a Reddit subreddit called Gaming Leaks and Rumors. In there, there was a post about Jeff Snyder backing up the rumors about the guy Alex Garland directed, Elden Ring film. Film journalist Jeff Snyder is now backing up what Nexus Point News broke yesterday regarding an Elden Ring film directed by Alex Garland. And then the...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Post goes on to talk about how he had previously confirmed rumors that included the cast for M. Night Shyamalan's next film, Bill Skarsgård joining the next Michael Cernovsky film, and Mikey Madison being in talks for a role in Sean Levy's Star Wars film. So we're firmly in rumor mill speculation station territory with this one. It seems like... It's not 100%, but also not 0%. Right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
The chance of this happening is not zero. Yeah, exactly. And I don't know what more to say about that. I was like, all right, it's not impossible, but also not 100% confirmed. Like, we don't know for sure. What I will say is that I don't know if I want an Alex Garland, Elden Ring film. It sounds weird to me. And I don't know. I don't think weird is a good enough reason to be a hater for me. Right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
But like, I need to see the trailer. I need to see an image, a set image, something. I need to know because I don't see Alex. When I look at Alex Garland's work. Right. I guess none of it really screams a, oh, this guy has done an Elden Ring-style thing, like a big fantasy tale that feels a bit more grand than what we've gotten out of, I guess, his work before. Not saying he couldn't do it.

Yeah. I... I think it's interesting, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
Like, somebody earlier in the chat mentioned that Death Stranding also has an A24 movie in development, and that makes way more sense to me, just as far as, like, the kind of story that Death Stranding is versus the kind of story that Elden Ring is, where Elden Ring is almost more of a world than it is just a straightforward story, because the nature of how they tell the story of Elden Ring, it is way more through discovery, it's way more through, like, you are...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
arriving kind of at the end of the story and kind of getting like the history of the world you're in and like getting through reveals and like stuff of oh this is what i'm here to do like like it's it's just a very weird format to then try and tell through a linear act one act two act three right kind of thing through a movie that said like 824 has had i look at the green knight the death patel movie from 824 that came out a few years ago
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
And I'm not the biggest fan of Green Knight, but if you're going to make an Elden Ring movie, I could see it maybe being a Green Knight thing where the whole thing is fucking weird and mysterious and like artsy as hell. Artsy as hell. And I think that would be an appropriate way to do an Elden Ring movie.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
Like as the audience member, the audience would have to almost be kept in the dark for 80% of the movie. Like what the fuck is happening?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
I mean, you know, it would have to be, you're watching a dude just get fucking mauled by groups of undead and like get, had to fight a dragon out of nowhere and you don't really understand why. And then like the last 20% of the movie, you're like, ah, shit, that's this guy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
Here's the thing. I, I don't know about the Alex Garland, a 24 thing. I think there's a good chance that that's real, but who knows? I think 100% you're going to get an Elden Ring movie and whoever is able to get that is going to like, that's like having the fucking, like getting a fucking gold in the Olympics as far as like,

PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
price rise like you know uh i'm looking at an article from game spot from march 6 gta 6 costing 100 could reward players to analysts argue it's always the analysts and we just read they could reward the players but dude i'm seeing like i feel like don't worry about the first part of the article i just We're talking about the part where it's the analysts.

See, this is my thing is I feel like this is very much the Spider-Man meme of everybody pointing at each other. Cause like I, we were talking about this yesterday. We had like a whole segment talking about the price of GTA six on our, um, KGD yesterday. And like that conversation came from a super chat that asked us about the hundred, like could GTA six be, could the $100 price point be justified?

yeah it is it's the audience y'all started that conversation and then i saw people in chat being mad that we're speaking it into existence and we're just like yo we're responding to y'all super chat that stemmed from the conversations from the analysts remember it all comes back to the analysts what side of mississippi are you on we're all on the west side because the earth is the earth is round the earth is right questions finally open your third eye
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
Oh, I did want to answer the... We got on a tangent. But do the GTA 6 will it harm the games industry? I have... I think it'll be both. I think in some ways it's going to harm, but in some ways it's going to help. I think it'll harm in the way that it's going to be another Roblox. It's going to be another Fortnite. It's going to be probably a bigger one of those.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
Well, then that's where I come around on the other thing. Cause I still do think that like, it's going to be a black hole game in the sense of, all right, less people are, there's going to be less bandwidth of people playing other games in the midst of GTA six.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
People in chat are saying Otani. Oh, yeah. Shohei Otani from baseball. It's not bad.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
And I think that's going to be ongoing for a decade somewhat, but on the flip side, I think, yeah, like you're going to have more people on gaming platforms because GTA six attracts not only the gamers, but it attracts, uh, the mainstream audience.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
And I think the more that you can have the mainstream audience on gaming platforms, then like maybe peruse the PlayStation store, maybe peruse through the Steam store when it comes to PC and all that shit, right? Like I think having more active players that aren't like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
actively on the platforms is a good thing because you're at the end of the day video games are competing with other video games but they're also competing with tiktok and they're also competing with youtube and streaming and all these other things a lot of the people that are gonna that would have spent that free time just on tiktok now they will be playing gta6 and hopefully that like is that is gonna you know reconfirm the thing of oh i can say i can spend money on video games
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
But I think even more so just have them on the platform and see those advertisements to be like, oh man, the split fiction game looks cool. Maybe I should check this out. Maybe I should play Death Stranding 2 or whatever. Like the games are out by then.

I love it. Honestly, I try that every single time because I'm not tall enough to where I can reliably get a spike. Like I've had maybe one or two this season where I was like, oh dude, I was in it. It was spicy fucking time. Like fucking hit, you know, hit right down on their side of the field. Usually my tactic is to, yeah, go like I'm about to go for a spike and then do like a, like a side hit.

A lot to break down here. I want to shift to an article from Forbes written by Paul Tassi from January of 2025. The article is titled More Details Leak About Bungie's Gummy Bears Live Game for Sony. It reads like this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
During the last round of Bungie layoffs, Sony carved out a portion of the studio to continue work on Gummy Bears, now under Sony directly, and I suppose that makes this group technically not Bungie anymore. But without a name, and previously developed under Bungie, here we are.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
And now we have some new details about Gummy Bears, thanks to an exclusive report from The Game Post, and I can corroborate at least some of this myself based on what I've heard. The Highlights The biggest point of news is that it will feature a Smash Bros. type percentage damage system, which yes, does involve being knocked back further at a higher percent, and the potential to fall off the map.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
I'd heard there were some similarities to Smash Bros., but I didn't realize they were going all the way like this. Hopefully it's not violating any Nintendo patents, according to Nintendo at least. Next bullet point, but at its core, the game is a team-based MOBA, not a fighting game, which will have support, attack, and defense classes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

It also may have souped up towers that aren't as static with the ability to move or get different abilities. The vibe of the game is described as lo-fi and appealing to a much younger demographic than Bungie's past games like Halo and Destiny or Future Game Marathon. but also younger than something like League of Legends or Dota, it seems.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
This aligns with the concept art we've already seen for the project previously. The report also reinforces what I've heard, that even within a beleaguered Bungie, the game is viewed as very fun internally, the most enjoyable project in incubation. Not that I've heard Marathon is bad or anything, but Gummy Bears is the one that keeps being brought up as going great.

Hopefully we see some great games. I think that's exciting. I also do love that we will kind of get maybe more of a look of how powerful this is. What are we shooting for? Frame rate-wise, is it going to be able to hold up?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Can it do some of the things? Will it play big games that we're really excited for, like an Elden Ring or a Call of Duty? I can't wait for all the answers. But, of course, give me the Nintendo Touchstones. That's all you need to do. Mario, Mario Kart, Metroid. What else?

I would have taken over 20. The 30-minute mark, I get a little worried about. But I wouldn't take it over 20. Well, then we start playing the game of like, how big is the blowout? Like Roger says, is it smaller? Like you say, like 30 minutes, then it gets kind of big to fill that out. But like, if you're going to go under 20, if you're going to take 17, I'll gladly take over 20 on the pizza bet.

Oh, cause so day one, I wrote, I'm buying pineapple juice and a water bottle for breakfast. And he wrote, skip the pineapple juice. Let's get black coffee.

So, like, you took that hit, and it's like, well, everybody, hold on now. Hold on. We still got a moneymaker out there. We're going to figure it out. But, yeah, it's wild to think about Apex Legends, right, celebrating six years coming up here this month. So it's a long life, but also not as long as you would think, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I think a lot of us think of Apex Legends, and you're like, that was, like, ten years ago. No, it's only been six, which is a small amount of time, but still pretty large here. I think... You look at it, right, and you talk about the longevity of Apex and what is next. And, yeah, I think everybody gets worried about a sequel, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
When you put that two on it, we haven't seen twos go that well, looking at you, Overwatch 2. And so I do get a little worried of, like, what is that goal, right? What is that desire that you'd want to build? Is it that single-player story of different characters in the Apex world? Is that what we want? Is it a...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Battle Royale, that's now mixed with the Team Arena shooter, where maybe you're calling upon Titans, and it is kind of like Titanfall-esque. What is that Vision 4 2.0? But, of course, it sounds like we have some time. They are clearly trying not to step on the toes of Battlefield, which we've seen before with Titanfall 2. And so that's a smart move there to try to get away from your own product.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Yeah, I think it's still in the fold in a major way. I think it's a top three shooter right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I think that will always be hard, and I don't think you will because you don't have that first impression of like, oh, wow, it's something brand new. But I think you have something that has solidified itself as this is going to remain alive for quite some time. Right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Of course, they talk about big updates, trying to identify anti-cheats and hackers and making sure it's a better quality of life game. And they'll add things on to it. But I think you already have something so stable that you try to now bring in new audience members or lapsed audience members with smaller numbers. pieces of fun engagement, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
So maybe that is a small single player where you play as one of your favorite champions and it's eight missions in some sort of universe to learn their backstory and jump in. Maybe it is. They've messed around with team arena shooters before. We saw in that three on three and four on four. Maybe it is its own side. Hey, we've made... Apex Deathmatch, and you jump in and this is it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
It's its own free-to-play product. It doesn't need the life cycle of seven to eight years. Maybe it is supposed to only be a year to two years like a Call of Duty, but it gets new players in. Apex is still there. They can jump into Apex Legends anytime to continue to get that fix.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Yeah. Okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I mean, well, you add on new projects like that, right? Like, the goal is simple. to try to keep Apex in your mind, right? No matter if you're a lapsed player, if you're a diehard player, we just don't want you to go. But we would love to have these smaller projects where you come back, just like you and I did when we did that 3v3 mode. You said, man, I should just be playing Apex.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Like, I really enjoy Apex. And if you just come in there for a week to a month, that engagement is so big for these teams. That's what they're looking for, for the longevity of this. It's tough to come out with an Apex Legends 2, right? What is that? People are going to tweak at the idea of giving up all their stuff that they've put into that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I don't think in a live service world you can come out with an Apex Legends 2 and it be successful as this once was.

Can it be better than these cinnamon bun? That's my favorite, the cinnamon bun Oreo.

Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I don't think you get a Titanfall 3. Me either. I don't think Titanfall and Apex and how Apex looks and plays. It plays like Titanfall, but the look of it when you look at Apex Legends and you think of Titanfall, they're clashing right here. I don't think you meet in the middle somehow.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I think everyone wants to be Fortnite. We've always had this conversation. Fortnite has somehow transcended just being a Battle Royale because it has gone further than that with its own creation engine where people are creating inside of it. They're having fun just spending time as Peely the Banana mixed with Jonesy and some Lego character.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Fortnite has somehow gotten out of just being a battle royale, and I think other battle royales, specifically Apex Legends, are looking around going, well, how do we take one step further? And they're having a tough problem. Call of Duty will always be lucky because they have a yearly product that comes out, and they can tie it in with Call of Duty Warzone and get you to play both.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Apex doesn't have that, right? And so Apex is looking around going, Well, we are just a straight-up battle royale. How do we become more than that to make sure the longevity of this can go on longer and longer?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Andy, I feel good. I stayed up really late playing a whole lot of Sniper Elite Resistance, but doing all right. How about yourself? You were ranking a lot of Marvel movies for the great Marvel re-ranking.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
The craziest part is that people will say, is that what the Apex Legends community wants? What does the Apex Legends community actually want? They seem to be very content and happy with just a battle royale. They want you to get rid of hackers. They want you to nail down the anti-cheat. They want a good ranked mode where they can see longevity of them grinding and seeing their progression.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
They want to have a casual mode. They can jump in with their friends and not be absolutely shredded by people who have the top ranks. Like that's most of the battle royale audiences ever asking for. They usually don't ask for like, well, I really love this character. I got to have a six to nine hour battle. campaign on this character. It's going to keep me there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
But I think the companies on the other side are looking going, how do I get more people into this fan base and get them playing? I think that's where we start to see that. But I don't know. This is a tough spot to be in for EA because whatever they do, they come out with a single player campaign and it flops. It's not going to be a good sign there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
You're going to charge for it. We're talking about a free to play game with an audience that is set in a free to play way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Yeah, but those are games that are set in that way. Apex Legends isn't, right? So now you've got to have me buy into a story about whatever character and think that I want that for 6 to 8 hours or 6 to 12, whatever it may be, and think that I'm going to pay... 20 to 60, maybe even 70. That's a big tough one for them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Well, they're doing that with Battlefield. Battlefield is coming back and having a single-player campaign now, so that's a big deal.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Exactly. Battlefield is seeing that doing the only multiplayer routes and coming out buggy as a buggy mess was not the answer that they needed. They needed, if they wanted to compete as a premium title against Call of Duty and, you know, formal Halo, they have to be a full product. That's what people wanted. And so now they're going to do that.

Only in Battlefield moments, bro.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Yeah, I'm blown away that they didn't choose on Battlefield to swap that with a Titanfall 3 and have those teams work on it and figure that out. Or going back to Disney and trying to get a license for Star Wars and figuring that out and trying to make that good again after how bad that one went.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Mike, how do you feel about that? Yeah, here's a fun one for you, Bless. This is a cool one coming out of the weekend. I know a couple of my friends have jumped back in and are riding the high off of whatever this Star Wars fever is. I mean, of course, we know May the 4th is always kind of the pump-up of more Star Wars in your life as you go through no matter where you're at.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
It's like May the 4th happens, you put the movies back in theaters, you get some sort of Star Wars content on video games, and people want to jump back into the fun. But, I mean, this is... Something I didn't think would ever happen, Bless. But at the core of it, it's like the Battlefront games are great games. They're fun times with your friends.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
There's something easy to jump in and jump out of, right? You can break free of Fortnite when you've already been playing a bunch of Star Wars content. And if you want more, here's a good game for you to play, right? And so if we rewound time and we talked about the microtransactions and all of that when the game first came out, it'd be something.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
But Battlefront at its core is still a very good game.

I don't think we will have enough. Absolutely not. Now, when I say that, I am someone who rides or dies for Battlefront, right? I'm talking OG Battlefront 1 and 2 on your PlayStation 2s. I love those games, right? I am someone that was there day one and beyond for...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
the recent Battlefronts, and I even put up with the craziness that was what it was recently, but I like this game a lot, Bless, and I do want another one. I think the Star Wars universe, I think the Battlefront concept is just such an easy, perfect win, right? Like, that is a fun time for anyone, whether it be the hardcore first-person audience, first-person shooter audience, or
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
just the casual audience that wants a Star Wars experience. It's awesome, right? You get to be a storm trooper running around with hundreds of other players. There's X-Wings flying over your head. You're on this giant behemoth of a map running around. They have conquest mode, just like back in the day with Battlefield, where you take one point, then you go to the next point.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
It's like you have this long battle that can last up to like 30 to 45 minutes, and it's just a fun time of Star Wars. And so... When I think about that, yes, I want more Star Wars in my life with a Battlefront 3. Do I think that is in the cards in the next five years? No, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
I don't think... Is it an EA thing? Yeah, I mean, well, they got to figure out Battlefield first, right? Like, Battlefield's got to come first. And then, yeah, licensing out with Disney and figuring out where we can come back with that. I think Disney has done a really good job letting others play in the Star Wars universe.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
and letting people get their hands on this IP and other IPs that, like, have done well. But, I mean, it would be hard not for Disney to be like, yeah, you can make another Battlefront, right? But EA is also in a spot where it's like, EA is like Ubisoft trying to pick a winner here and stick with that right now. Yeah, that's my thing is I think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
You won't regret it, Bless. Game changed my life, man. It really stuck with me. Changed your life? Yeah, that one's going to stick with me. That's one of those games where you play and you're like, oh, wow, I didn't know this was going to stick with me like that. And so, yeah, that one's going to be in my back pocket. And, of course, we'll talk about it today. Expedition 33.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
No, I think they're pretty close, Bless, right? I would love to side on the side of Battlefield, but I think both of those are going to probably get me the end result if I'm EA either way, right? And so what I was going to pitch you on is like, why don't we focus on the Battlefield right now and try to nail that in this next one to two years?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
And then after that, have the next cycle of, hey, let's switch to Battlefront, right? Kind of have that on and off situation going on right now. Because I do think both are bringing in the exact same, if you really look at it, right? My question to you would be like, Do you really think all these companies have proven they want one thing and they want that reoccurring bill?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
They want people to come in and give them more money each and every day. They want you to come in and give them your time. And I just don't see Battlefield and Battlefront at this moment right now being the big winners. They're going to win, but they're not going to get you five-year success. They're going to get you one to two years success, and then it falls off, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
And so I don't think EA right now is looking at that going, we're greenlighting a one to two-year winner. We want something bigger. We want that, right? And everybody points to Fortnite and all those other games. And so I think you live in a world where they're probably hesitant to do that, especially after the last reception of Battlefield, which wasn't positive.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Now I'm down with the turn-based. Here it is. I'm ready to accept it into my life here soon enough. I love that for you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
And so it's probably like, hey, nail that, and then we probably should lean on Star Wars. Because I think they're both going to get you the same end result here. Maybe Star Wars is a little bit better just because of the IP and the name. But, I mean, at the end of the day, two years later, we're going to be on to the next thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Thank you so much for the super chat. And, yes, I think you will see another Mike and Nick week where we jump into Counter-Strike, similar to what we did with Escape from Tarkov. We had a lot of fun kind of picking a game and just sticking with it and learning that. And we went back to Counter-Strike a couple nights ago with Andy and the crew and had a blast, bless. It was so much fun. Yeah?

I mean, it sounds about right. We're going to talk about fighting games and the longevity of them, but looking at it, it's 2025. Game came out in 2023, so it's hitting its two-year lifespan here and moving on to the next one, right? And so, yeah, I mean, for me... I really liked Mortal Kombat 1. I always tell you Mortal Kombat is my fighting game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
That's the one I kind of gravitate towards because I know the characters. I know the world over all the years. And I really liked this one with the recent campaign, which I thought was fun, right? Fun, wacky, wild. All these different characters coming in on the finale was really, really dope. But I enjoyed Mortal Kombat 1. When I think of fighting games, Wes, this is what I look at, right?

It's like... hey, we gave you probably a good solid year of content. Then the second half for the next year is like kind of getting on the lighter side. Then it's like, hey, the money spout is slowly drying up here. It's time to move on. Game's still live. You're going to play it.

Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
the pillar and i think the name is still a pillar but it seems like yeah the game itself there's others now kind of taking that shine in that space away but yeah the interesting one here bless is you would think they go to injustice right ride the high off the superheroes again dc with superman the movie maybe we can build off of that get that kind of excitement and juice going but at the core of it all it's still the gameplay right and netherrealm

Oh, you're playing Conviction. I finished it. You finished it? Yeah, great short game. I was awful at the stealth. Which was wild, Bless. I really tried, but every time I found myself just fumbling the bag. And of course, as you know with conviction, if you stealth take someone out, then you get the ping system, the mark system, and you can do the cool finisher takedowns.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
They're great. Right. But is it something blessed where people are looking at Netherrealm going, hey, it's time to maybe add something or reinvent just a little bit? Yeah, I think so. Like you brought up the stiffness right of the feel. What are others doing that is better than Mortal Kombat? That would be the reason why people are leaving those games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Interesting. I don't know. It's a tough one, Bless, right? Because, yeah, Mortal Kombat, you come out with another one. It's just the same Mortal Kombat, right? Injustice is great, but are people going to say, hey, I've been there with the superheroes before. I want something new. But really, what is that third option?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25

They tried it before. That's what I was going to get to with you. Mortal Kombat, to me, has always been great because of that single-player campaign. I don't see many others doing it like that, with the big-time, over-the-top story. I think others do a good single-player campaign, but Mortal Kombat, for the casual audience, is the one to go jump into and get lost in.

Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
I probably did that maybe five times total out of my seven hours. I could not figure it out, Bless, for the life of me. Are you a stealth person? But I had a blast.

Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Is there something where you could? What was the one blast that we all played way back in the day? Shallon Monks? Yes, that was like it, but it wasn't the true campaign that we're thinking of right now. It was a little bit of a switch up, a little more fun on that. Could you do something like that again?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Yeah, almost like a Sifu, maybe even like an Assassin's Creed. Not, like, big, but, like, yeah, I want that third-person feel running around a Scorpion.

Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
You bring up content really quick before we go. It's like, what more do you want content-wise out of these games? I think they've kind of nailed down after all the years of what they want. Do you think maybe a small... Couple level campaign year two would be helpful to one of these. Sell it for $10 to $20. Yeah. And say, hey, here's a compact campaign to maybe give you more.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Okay, I was going to say, because Hitman is like the best. I'm a big fan of stealth, but I am the person that will, I love stealth, and then I fumble the bag, and then it becomes just Nick Scarpino in a bathroom murdering people. Yeah, yeah, which is great for conviction, right? Because it is a 24-hour, the TV show, action adventure, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Because when you bring up the content, right, it's like it will always be character pack one through four. Yeah, we're probably going to sell fatalities because we know people will buy those for X, Y, and Z. But, like, there's not much we're really playing with from costumes to new characters to fatalities that you really bring into the game.

of it all right we want to shake up the rts world that you kind of know and love and we want to make it nba jamified where it means it's faster shorter games you're kind of in and out and you're not spending 45 minutes in a warcraft 3 back and forth or a starcraft 2 game and so yeah i really liked the idea of like Yeah, show me what that would be like.

Too bad to see a tough market, I'm sure, to crack on the RTS world when you have such established IP and people are trying to be like, hey, well, those games are old. Come try something new. I don't really talk to that many people who are like, Mike, I'm a diehard RTS fan.

That looks so fucking cool. You and Andy were freaking over this, and then they were like, it's an RTS, and you both said, ah. Yeah, they were like, oh, okay. But it was a very interesting pitch. I like the idea. I like the concept. I just never fell in love with it.

But I would love to hear, you know, one day we'll hear more people who are diehards into this and what they really thought, where that timeline is. But that's a tough market.

I put poor Andy and Nick in a couple of first-person shooters, and they looked at me and were like, no, no, Mike, I can't play any more of this. And so it's tough to get your friends already buy a headset, strap on a headset, be able to play for more than 30 minutes without getting motion sick.

Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Yeah, no, there will be a lot of discussion. You can already see it when we talked about it yesterday, me and Jerika. A lot of people were a little upset about over, you know, too many games now kind of stepping on the toes of Claire Obscura Expedition 33.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
I personally think they're two very separate games. I think they're very distinct and different, right? You have a turn-based RPG and then a traditional Bethesda open-world RPG, more on the action side of things, I would call it. I think the audience will be pretty separate here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
There will be some overlap, but I don't think, me personally, I think gamers just wind up going, I have a bunch of games. They're on Game Pass. It's not like it's going anywhere. Yeah. They're not taking it off the service. So I can play Oblivion all week and then Expedition 33 next week or vice versa, or you play both. I think gamers play a lot of games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
We shouldn't worry about one game taking over their life.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
I think gamers play multiple games a day. I don't think gamers out there play one game only for weeks on end.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Maybe get your glasses. What a great day. It's Tuesday. You're back in the office. We missed you a lot yesterday. Thank you. I'll tell you what. And this week, it's all about one thing, okay? There's a lot going on, but none of that matters because Switch 2 pre-orders go up, and you better get your credit card ready to swipe that thing because I'm not missing out on a Switch 2 pre-order, big dog.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Yeah, of course. I don't want Roger to win and he's rounding out a really good team right now. But no, this is just fine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Could be fantastic for me. Could be great.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Are you kidding me? You said weeks ago you weren't excited. I don't need a Switch. I should not be buying a Switch 2. I will be there at 9 p.m. West Coast time fighting Best Buy to go up at midnight on Wednesday. And then I'm hoping to God I get that. If not, I'm fighting in Thursday. You save all this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Yeah, they're having a very strong start to the year. We talked about this on the X-Cast a while back of just the past couple of years. They were quiet at the first half and then really punched you with a lot of games in the second half. And we wanted it to be spread out and share the love. And they're hitting that right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
They're definitely showing from Indiana Jones that kicked off in December into now. You've been flooded with games to fill out your Game Pass library. And it only continues, right? Doom the Dark Ages comes out next month in May. And then beyond that, we go... even further with the Summer Games Showcase. We know there's more games coming. We're talking about Outer Worlds 2 rounding out the year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
That's two from Obsidian in one year would be crazy, right? So, yeah, they're hitting you with a lot of games. And as you talked about, right, the big thing about Game Pass is continuing to put more good titles in there to make you not want to unsubscribe. I think there was some months there in the past two years where there was moments going... Is this worth it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Should I be paying $20, $25 for Game Pass right now when maybe I'm not getting those third-party titles coming in? I'm definitely not getting the first-party titles, and I think they're showing it right now that they can keep that going throughout the year, all 12 months, to justify you paying for that, which is great.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Game Pass Ultimate bundles everything. Game Pass PC is strictly for your PC. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Where you want to play, what you want to spend on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
I think with what you saw there over the... If you watch the 20-minute breakdown, if you are excited about what we're considering, is it a remaster? Well, it looks like it's remake. It's sold from the ground up. I think you're getting what you want out of this. For $50, I'm not mad. I think we talk about these remakes and where they stand.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Game Pass kind of brings a different fold into it all of like, well, it's just on Game Pass, and it's easy to say that, but... When I get a proper remake like this, a remaster, whatever you want to call it, it gets me excited. And it's a Bethesda title, right? If you really want to play Oblivion, you're going to get a lot of hours out of this. It will justify your $50 purchase.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Yeah, it's been a long time for me, uh, Margo. So I don't know the perfect answer for you, but my answer will always be whenever I play these games. Um, just go with the story, get lost in it. And if you show up to a part of the DLC where maybe it's a little too much for you, back out and go the opposite direction. But I don't remember how these DLCs go. It was a very long time for me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Happy 30th birthday. It will be very exciting to see that shake out. If you really want to start talking about Expedition 33, now you have Marathon doing a closed alpha, right? Sure, that's only going to be so many people, but there's a lot of games in the way, and there's been a lot of games no matter what this whole year and beyond.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
I say beyond a lot, but you know there's just a lot of games, so I don't worry about that. If it's a good game, it's going to shine. We all know that. If it's a great game, it's going to shine, y'all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
I mean, you also see the pop in Game Pass subscriptions, right? Like the instant gratification of, hey, we just shadowed and dropped this game. Now thousands of people, millions of people will immediately go renew their Game Pass subscription, jump right back into that service is a big deal as well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
And, yeah, I think it's a fun time for the audience as well to get that instant gratification and go, oh, my God, it's out now. How great and exciting, right? Yeah. I think it really depends on the game, the moment, what you have going on in the calendar, and where do you go. But, yeah, sometimes it fits very well for the game if that's the right move.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25

Uh, yeah, that's up to you, Greg. I mean, I think your first time is always special. You might want to be locked in and focused on one that on that instead of having the jabroni boys laughing cackle behind you, especially with the jabroni boys.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Yeah. I mean, with how much you love Starfield, I think it will be a big deal. You know, if you're in the mood to play it, let's get you on the sticks. If not, you know, maybe we we get lost with me and Nick. We'll discuss during this break.

That doesn't feel like a game that's right around the corner, and it's right around the corner. It's right around the corner.

Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
I can't wait for that experience with Roger because you know I love getting high on that Kojima joint. And this is insanity. This whole Death Stranding game is that to the 10. So I can't wait to see what he does on number two. Can't wait to see what Roger thinks of Death Stranding 1 because it's insane. It's awesome. It's fun. Yeah. When are you guys doing that?

I thought that was always novel and fun of like, hey, Washi over there built a bridge. Now it's in your world. What are we going to see with this? How does he connect the strands of all of us playing this game?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Is that the same kind of stuff? And What is the action element? How do you take that up to another level? And does he do that, or does he just say, no, that's not for this?

Gone are the days where you and I would say, man, if this is dropping Thursday at 8 a.m., we got to go camp out at about Wednesday at 6 p.m. in front of GameStop. Do you miss those days? I miss it. I could go for one more. I'm tempted to do it this week. Camp out outside of GameStop?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
I think you pushed me off of Thursday games daily, which means I might. If our GameStop nearby opens at like 8 or 9 a.m. No. What if Snowbike Mike spends the night out there? I'm thinking about it. Because you've got to lock this down. This is a big deal. It is. This is one of those where you're not going to want to miss out. You're going to get the ultimate FOMO.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
You're going to get upset that you're not playing Mario Kart World with Barret. You're going to be playing Donkey Kong the next month. And if you miss out on that, you're going to be upset. I'm thinking about it, but one more follow-up. What's up with that email from Nintendo? I gave them my information. Now, people were saying, oh, that's not till May.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
I would like just a confirmation on that somewhere. Tell me something, Nintendo. Are they sending me that email this week, or is that somehow I'm out in May and there's still a pre-order for me? It's a great question.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Let's talk about, as well, the local shops. Let's talk about our GameStop, the dying GameStop. How many are they going to get? Thank you. You're on the first four. Should I be pre-ordering online, or could I have the confidence to say, Snowbike Mike's going to stay out all night in front of the local GameStop? If I'm number four, are they getting four pre-orders in on that? You think so?

We're kind of in this 50-50. We're moving past that. But I like that.

Fallout Season 2 In December, Season 3 Confirmed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.13.25
one of which was to not only tell a story with a young Steve Rogers who's still trying to find his feet, as opposed to a more seasoned guy that we've seen in a lot of the films. Also let us introduce a new Black Panther of 1943. It led us to tap into all things that I love, all of the wonderful tropes of World War II era adventure films, classic man-on-a-mission movies, and all that.

Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
GTA Online tied to this? Where's GTA Online gone since then? Is it its own separate app and is it free to play? Or is the $100 price tag now saying, hey, you will have access onto the online? I think the premium version of this game has to include online.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
Okay, but do you think that we will get to a point where GTA Online, when it does come to that launch, is its own separate thing and it's free to play? No, it's not free to play. I don't think it's free to play.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
It's interesting. We're 10 years removed from it. Right. So yeah, Dave had a lot of time to think about this. The industry has changed a lot now. And I think the catch is, is this is grand theft auto. The name with rockstar is going to sell no matter what they do, but they do have an opportunity to definitely get in the business room and say, what can we do? Is there a better way to attract people?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
Or can we try something else that might, you know, generate even more money. It's going to generate money no matter what this is going to sell. So, Whatever they do will be very interesting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
I was thinking no GTA Online until after launch. We get nothing but GTA until the launch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
Yeah, the sooner the better. Preferably. Once people are a little bit tired of GTA 6. Yeah, give them one month, beat the game, and while you're still fiending for more, you gotta hit them with it. I don't want to go longer than that for sure. There's no way it's free to play. There's no way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
I've given Roger, Bless, and Kevin, I'll take your time down. All of you will put out the time that you think Mike will walk until he says, I'm not walking anymore. I'm done for good. Is it one hour? Two hours? You can put a minute. You can put a second. I don't care. But how long do you think I will go until I truly fold?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
They go free to play so there's no barriers though. But there's no barrier already. The barrier is technically the mature rating, right? Sure. I got to call Daddy Kevin over here into the room to technically download it, but I don't think we all know that it's probably not anything like that. But the free-to-play is to get anyone on planet Earth to just hit download, and now you're in, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
And we all know how GTA Online goes. The moment you're in and you see me and Roger pull up in the coolest sports car, the first thing you're doing is, where's the money app? How do I buy that?

I want to see that kind of very similar to the Miami Dolphins look, but all in all, a great... great trailer disappointing that we have to wait now a year for this. Yes. That's, that's tough. Roger.

Oh, Bloodborne 2. Okay, yeah, that's interesting. Your mind goes to Bloodborne 2, because, yeah, do you go back to that, right? Where do you stand with Sony there? Where do you stand with that title and that franchise?

Is this a Bloodborne where you, hey, we just, we build off of Bloodborne and now we go from Demon's Souls to Dark Souls, Bloodborne into something new, which becomes a trilogy, or is it just a follow-up to Bloodborne 2? Is that what Sony wants? Is that what they want to do? Is this going to be an exclusive, right? You've seen such success with multi-platform, right, with Elden Ring.

Würden sie ein Taktik-Game machen? Würden sie ein Turn-based-Game machen? Ich bin interessiert zu sehen, ob sie aus dem Soulsborne-like-Game aussteigen und wirklich in etwas Neues reichen.

Und ich denke, Armour ist großartig. Proof of it. Exactly, and I'm excited because we've seen them try with the multiplayer to elevate that, right?

I like that, Tim, and I can agree with you in some parts, right? I think the back catalog is exciting to some, but I think most of it is, and especially in Game Pass' lifespan, it has been carried by those big, oh snap, you got that third-party game, and they have to continue that, because right now, the first-party games have not proven to be the ones to hold you.

Ich verstehe es, aber ich stelle es einfach raus. Warum haben wir das nie übernommen? Lass es mich, Chad. Lass es mich wissen. Nummer zwei. When will we do away with the extended glider animations and just drop? Fortnite has a thing where you drop for about 65% and then the rest of the time we have to slowly drop with our gliders. And I know the reason why. Microtransactions, of course.

Oh, really? I mean, it has to be, right? You have to be able to see it. If you're going to buy a glider from me for $10, I need you to see it for an extended period of time instead of just flying down, dropping it real quick and then never seeing it again. So probably that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
But we got to do away with that because the time it takes to glide down and then slowly circle and wait to get into it is just painfully slow. It hurts. So what's up with that? Mike's top two. Okay.

Es klingt so, als ob du dieses Spiel in jeder Weise viel schneller machen würdest. Es gibt einige schnelle Momente in diesem Spiel, aber dann gibt es Momente, in denen man sich fragt, warum ist das nicht schneller? Warum verbessern wir die Bewegung und setzen Waffen und Objekte in das Spiel, um die Bewegung zu erhöhen, aber wenn es sich um nur Rennen und Gehen handelt, ist es langsam.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
Und sie haben diesen Stamina-Bar eingeführt. Ich weiß nicht, es ist schon ein paar Tage her, Tim. Ich weiß nicht, ob du es gesehen hast, aber es gibt einen Stamina-Bar jetzt. Und du springst. Und dann depletiert es sich schnell. Und dann musst du warten, bis es sich aufbaut. Und es fühlt sich nie ganz richtig an. Wo es ist wie, hm, ich hätte wahrscheinlich 15 mehr Schritte aus dem Weg bekommen.

From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
Und es hätte besser gefühlt. Aber jedes Mal, wenn es sich depletiert, bist du so, jetzt bin ich nur langsam auf dem Weg. Und das fühlt sich nicht gut an in Fortnite. Es ist eine seltsame Verbindung.

And these are just like some of the small things where I'm like, after all these years, we almost get to 10 years now, how come this hasn't changed? The small pots, still 25%, only to 50%. Come on.

There was a couple trailers that grabbed me. It was an interesting one of this is the final Switch 1 Nintendo Direct before we move into Switch 2. But we know there's going to be a lot of overlap because, of course, there's a lot of units sold on the Switch 1. You probably won't just have a hard cut off of Switch 2 into that. But I think... You know, it brought people together.

No, Roger. We did speak about this, I think, last week or the week before. We heard the whisperings about this and it seems like it is now becoming reality. The franchise is chosen. No, those are the money makers. Those are the big four and the big three in the franchise of Ubisoft. And those are the ones that make the money. Those are the hot ones that you would want to invest in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
And so if Ubisoft was to come to the table with other franchises that aren't those, you probably wouldn't be giving them a billion dollars, right? You'd be like, hey, That's not where we're looking at here. So put up the big ones. What does this really look like? Only time will tell, right? They clearly need the money. They need that boost right now. They need to pay off their debts.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
They need to reconsolidate. They need to look forward and say, where are we making money? What needs money? How do we get in the right direction again? Because they're not in the right direction. They're not making the right calls. Everything has been a struggle here. They still have a lot of wins, right? Assassin's Creed Shadows is doing well, of course. Really well. Ja. It's tough.

Call of Duty's original giant map is returning next Thursday. And I'm very excited about it, Roger. Because as you know, I love Call of Duty Warzone. I love this Battle Royale.

But when you go back to the original, everybody has that moment of nostalgia. Everybody remembers where they were five years ago. Ami-Movement? Ja. Which is what I'm excited about.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
You'll have improved lighting, some improved level of detail, some small map adjustments for traversal. Maybe there were certain spots that you could only access if you flew in on a parachute.

I've always been a big fan of the recon ones. You go to a spot, the flare pops up, people on the map know you're there, they can come and kill you if they so well choose. Most of the time they let you be, but I love the recons. We also have endgame areas with lack of cover or maneuvering choices.

Those are being minimized to lessen the matches that conclude in the infamous Verdansk endgame of the stadium, where people would be on the stadium just shooting you from up above. You're like, well, I can't get up there, so they're just gonna live, I guess. And we lose.

Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
Does it feel like an actual Alien and or Predator movie? It's better than AVP, but somehow worse at the same time. It is a hard to watch movie. Okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
Alien, Aliens, Predator, das sind deine Top 3. Alles andere tut weh. Dieser, wahrscheinlich der kleine, schweigende Moment des Suckys. Immer noch Sucky, immer noch real bad. Aber du denkst, das könnte am Top des Suckys sein.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25

Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
I was going to go with cursor for the mouse. Oh, that's not bad. We're already in there. Let's get deep in there. I had a couple of things going on. At first I was like, oh, it's for capture. But then I was like, wait, they have a capture button. Then I was like, oh, community, that's a good one. But then I took a walk this morning. It's like, oh, snap. What if it's for cursor?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
No, I haven't gone outside. Go see it outside, it's nice.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
So I can start gliding that mouse around. And maybe I'm playing Age of Empires 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
And it's got that mouse cursor. It goes into cursor mode. Bang. And you slide that, you glide that. Hmm, slide and glide. Oh, instead of whenever they used to just slide them in here, it's like now we glide and then we start gliding. Is that what we want though? Is that the answer that you want? I think it's going to be a fun, different idea that you can do with the Joy-Cons, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
It's talking about how do you elevate the Joy-Cons, right? And we've had HD Rumble in there. We've turned on a Bluetooth, you know, microphone once eventually. That was nice. So it's like, how do you elevate the fun in this?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
Ich meine, es ist ein ziemlich solider Controller, wenn du dich darüber denkst, richtig? Es kann in den echten Switch knallen, es kann rausknallen, es kann in einen Controller knallen. Du kannst sie als ein einziger Unit spielen, die kleinen Schulterpads da drauflegen und du spielst sie als einen kleinen Controller. Oder, jetzt, wie elevierst du das?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
Mach es ein Mauskursor und lass uns die Webseite suchen, weißt du, was ich meine? Ich bin sicher.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
Es geht zu den neuen Nintendo-News-Apps. Ja, genau.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
So like on my phone? No.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
Yeah, okay, so casting like my phone. Oh, okay, gotcha. When I'm thinking about watching Apple TV and I hit cast. I thought you meant like casting it to your phone. Okay, interesting. So you wanted to essentially skip the doc and just cast directly to the TV.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25

Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
Sie haben das Dokument gezeigt, oder? Ja, sie haben das Dokument gezeigt. Was, wenn es kein Dokument gibt? Was, wenn es kein Dokument gibt? Was, wenn wir es nicht brauchen?

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
Es ist ein großer Nintendo-Tag für dich. Mike, wie fühlst du dich? Wie siehst du dich? Ich fühle mich wirklich gut, richtig? Wir spielen Pokémon mit dem Nick Nuzlocke 2.0. Das hat viel Spaß gemacht. Ich habe Final Fantasy X gespielt. Das war ein Blast. Call of Duty Warzone.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
Ich meine, ja, der Problem ist, dass du in der Wohnzimmer-Kasse zu der Television bist, dass du es einfach aufhören kannst und es in den Dock legen kannst. Aber ich glaube, es ist ein guter Satz, wenn ich zu einem Freundshaus gehe und sie nicht haben den Dock und ich kann nur den Kass holen und jetzt ist es auf. Well, du brauchst den Dock.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
Oh, du brauchst den Dock. Dann müssen wir direkt den Kass holen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
So we got cast up there. We got cursor mode. But I want it not to be called cursor mode, even though Nintendo will call it that. I want it to be called cruise mode. Because we're cruising the Joy-Con. Cruise mode, you know what I mean? What other things can we do? Chat. I think chat is a good one. Chat, okay. Bring up voice chat.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2’s Mysterious Button REVEALED! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.25
When will Nintendo take that next step into really welcoming in that online playing experience that we have with everything else?

Just that being a stock model for DK is like, I think, really cool and exciting. But nobody else... Reflecting a whole lot of changes is also kind of surprising.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
This is not a PS5 Pro situation. I think this will be... einen wirklich, wirklich großen Launch mit viel Frustration und vielen Websites, viele Leute auf Social Media, die sagen, was zur Hölle ist das? Komm schon, Nintendo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Yeah, exactly. I see one and only saying people are being way too optimistic about the pricing. I don't think $3.99 is optimistic. I feel like that's That feels normal to me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Yeah. And I mean, we're Nintendo decisions, right? We've seen them happen a million times, but I just feel like Nintendo's been in such a spot for the last five years or so that they know what they have and It would take some really monumentally dumb decisions to kind of fuck up momentum, because they've just kind of had momentum for such a long time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Yeah, I wonder how turnkey any of that could be for developers in the way that when Xbox One comes out, or sorry, the Xbox Series comes out and The hardware team was like, hey, we made a lot of these games just run at 60 now. And that was not even using like the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
It's just kind of like the hardware taking over and giving the players that option to have the faster frame rate with whatever their enhanced frame rate things that Xbox is doing. But I wonder if they're going to do something that kind of
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
kann die Entwickler verurteilen, etwas, was die Entwickler nicht benötigen, um einen Patch zu haben, etwas, das einfach DLSS ist, es tut es für dich, weißt du, du packst es rein und es ist einfach, es geht jetzt, weißt du, ich würde, das wäre ideal, das wäre so ein Verkaufspunkt, ich fühle mich, dass, wenn du zu höheren Preispunkten kommst, ich denke, das ist der Art von Ding, den du drückst, wie hey, das ist, wofür du bezahlst, um, ich denke, es ist sehr unwahrscheinlich, aber das wäre sicherlich der Traum,

Es gab keinen Grund dafür, dass es nicht auf diese Kollektion gesetzt wurde.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25

Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Es wird nur ein altes Zelda-Spiel sein, und das ist einer der Gründe, warum der Kampf manchmal ein bisschen frustrierend sein kann, weil du mit all diesen Waffen zu tun hast und jetzt das Schild-Menü zu öffnen und dann das...

What are we doing? I love the larger Joy-Cons. I love just the larger Switch, period. Because I never really loved the way that the actual joysticks felt on the Joy-Cons. Hopefully these feel a bit more substantial and not just, hey, here's the ...easier portable Version of how it should feel. I hope those feel a little bit better. But overall, it's a lot sleeker, obviously.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
I think the color sort of section inside of the Joy-Con sticks out further than I assumed it would. I'm fine with it, though. It sticks out a lot more compared to the way that... die alten Joy-Cons aussehen, wenn du diese kleinen kräftigen Knöpfe auf dem Topf hast, die wirklich nur funktionieren, wenn du das Accessoire hast.

And yeah, it's pretty cool because they got the little fairies, which is Yuna, Riku, and Payne. My girls from Final Fantasy X10, or X2, which I love. You see Aerith in there, which is great.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
I love that, Barrett. Yeah, I mean, sure, if that's the way they want to go. I would be just fine with how Kingdom Hearts has always been in making Star Wars and Marvel more on the cartoony side, I guess, on the animated side, and just having them play in that kind of sandboxy world.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
I think we've seen plenty of kid shows in those Star Wars and Marvel universes that are animated and more, you know, family-friendly look than, hey, it has to be hyper-realistic and different looking than that, but... I love it either way. I'm excited if they can integrate both of those big properties into it. You'd think they would with Disney and all the fun that they've had.

Mr. Hawks writes in, we got some Kingdom Hearts fans now showing up, says, I'm not sure if this is the new Sora or if it's just how Sora changes his look to blend into one world. Oh, okay. So Sora every time goes into a different world, different look, fun costumes. That's a great call, Mr. Hawks. Maybe we'll be bouncing around a little bit. I like that. Okay.

Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
The last great perhaps says, minor spoiler, but Kingdom Hearts 3 has a realistic Pirates of the Caribbean world. Okay. Well, when I get to that experience, I look forward to seeing that. Yeah, Pirates of the Caribbean for me on Kingdom Hearts 2 was, yeah, very different than what you saw in all the other worlds. So I could definitely see 3 moving that direction. I look forward to seeing that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Great little pull there for us. We'll see what happens in Kingdom Hearts 4. Of course, I will be crossing my fingers for a big announcement at Summer Games Fest or this summer because I want to play Kingdom Hearts 3 at the end of the year. So if I can keep riding that excitement, I'm all in on the fun for sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Stella, let's keep the show going, but let's do it after a word from our sponsors, and we'll be right back with even more. We have another hour left, so don't go anywhere, y'all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
So it's going to be a little bit slower. And so since we're taking it slow, Stella, how have you been? What has been the latest and greatest in your world?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Story number two, Stella. GTA 6 delay could mean 700,000 fewer Xbox and PlayStation console sales this year. Coming from Christopher Dring at Game Business. A leading industry data firm has reduced its 2025 sales estimates for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S and X by 700,000 units following the delay of Grand Theft Auto 6.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Ampere Analysis has also lowered its forecast for PlayStation and Xbox game sales down by 21 million units. Overall, Ampere believes the console market will miss out on $2.7 billion in revenue this year due to GTA 6 delay. Of course, much of this will simply move to 2026 as the game is now scheduled for launch on May 26th next year. Quote, the drop is quite significant, says Ampere analysis.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Peers handle harding roles. You would expect people to spend on other things instead, but that kind of transfer will not be entirely there. There will be significant impact. Harding-Rose believes that the GTA 6 delay would boost to Nintendo Switch 2 this Christmas. And our consumer data switch is often seen as the second device for owners of PlayStation 5.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
The overlap is quite significant, he adds. They are in the same competitive sphere, even if the content is not exactly the same. Ampere now reports anticipates growth for the video game industry in 2025 of just 0.9%, but it will improve with a 2.2% increase over 2026. In the reports, Ampere believes general inflation plus hyper-competition will result in slow growth compared to pre-2019.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
And the companies will continue to focus on efficiency, being selective with games they sign and profit margins. Stella, big number, 700,000 units predicted for the big sale of GTA 6 this year. Now going to be off this year's books on to next year. What do you think about that? Of course, GTA seems to be the big selling point for a lot of people.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Stella, you're right on the money. Of course, yes. This is to be expected. It's right, right? Your predictions of sales and charts are definitely going to be thrown off when GTA and Rockstar finally say, hey, we're not coming out this year like we thought we were. We're going to be next year. Everything has changed now, of course. It's interesting, Stella. That's a huge number.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
I guess I'm kind of blown away by that number of... 700,000 new consoles will be sold off of just GTA 6 alone, or that's the thought process there. It's pretty wild to think, but you think of upgrades, people are finally ready to get that new PS5, maybe get the PS5 Pro to go along with their systems. It's an exciting thing to think about how...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
impactful GTA six really is, but that is a massive number of console sales for, to just be tied to this game franchise.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Yeah, well said, Stella. Barrett, what do you got?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Yeah, I think that's true for sure, Barrett. It will be very interesting to see who jumps on these consoles now before they get that price hike. Where are we next year with all of this price increase? Where does it settle in? And also, you know, it's GTA 6. People are going to go wild for this one, right? So they're going to save up all their money.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
They're going to work extra hard for this one and try to get involved in it. But yeah, 700,000 consoles, wild style as well. Because I also think of this generation now, You know, this generation has been very interesting, right? It's been around for quite some time, but we had the COVID years where it was harder to get a hold of it. Then we had kind of everybody working from home.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
That's wonderful. Stella. Stella is very busy. Of course you're going to do a review. Stella, where would I find your review? Where are you putting your work lately? Where can people keep up with you?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Everybody was gaming. So this generation feels like it went on for a long time, but it didn't go on for a long time. And I question who doesn't have a console by now that wouldn't be in there. But like you said, there's a large casual audience that is going to go wild for Grand Theft Auto and jump right on and get any console they can to be able to play this that first year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Stella, when do you think we'll see this start of the next generation? You talk about kind of being at its height. And really, this does feel like, hey, we're in the prime of this console, right? And it feels like we got a good runway still to go. But I think that maybe it's not as long as I think it is, Stella. When do you really think we'll start seeing that next conversation?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Stella, I'm excited to see where we go in the future. How long is this runway? I'm feeling really good with my Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. I'm not quite ready to end that life cycle yet. I don't really want the next announcement, but we'll see where we go. What I am excited for, Stella, you and I are playing some Grand Theft Auto 6, and I cannot wait for next May. I'm very excited. It was...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
It was hard to hear the delay because I wanted it so badly, but May, we got 12 months from now, we'll be back right to it. It'll be very, very exciting stuff. Do you think we see anything around Summer Game Fest or that past trailer is all we get for the summer season with Grand Theft Auto?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
I love that. Yeah, I've been checking in on your Twitch channel all the time. I love seeing you go live. I love that you've been playing a bunch of video games.

Of course, audience out there, don't forget if you're watching live on YouTube and on Twitch, you have an extended kind of funny games daily. So we're taking it nice and slow today because we'll go until 1130. So we still have a whole hour to go. So I'm going to stop really quick and read two quick super chats.

Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Stella, let's go to the next story. Story number three and four are all about death.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
stranding 2 death stranding 2's scores are death stranding 2's scoring well with test reviewers but kojima isn't satisfied this coming from darren bonthais at game spot death stranding was a polarized polarizing game when it first released but for the upcoming sequel previews and early reviews for the game have largely been positive
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
In a recent interview with game director Hideo Kojima explained how he was happy to see test audiences react more favorably to Death Stranding 2 on the beach. But he also explained how this had left him feeling conflicted. Quote, Sony is pleased, of course, but I do wish I was a bit more controversial, Kojima said to Edge Magazine via VGC. Blockbuster films need an 80% approval rating.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
I don't want to make games like that. I'm not interested in appealing to a mass market or selling millions of copies. That's not what I'm aiming for, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Kojima did acknowledge the paradox of this approach, as while he may not be aiming to appeal to a broader gaming market, Death Stranding 2 still needs to sell a sizable number of units if he wants to keep the lights on at Kojima Productions and pay his developers... and pay his staff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
The other benefit of reviews being divided over a game is that it allows developers like Kojima to receive constructive criticism and implement improvements both in the base game and potential sequel. At this time, Kojima says that he won't alter themes or story based on feedback from players. We get positive reviews. Everybody's excited for the game. Kojima says, no, no. That's not what I want.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Go have some fun in that awesome community she's building over there. And get to listen to Stella and her thoughts on the gaming world. I love that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
I want to be different. Stella, what's going on here?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Of course.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Yeah, when you make a good to great game, Stella, people are going to love it and be excited for the next one. And it sounds like this one's even better than the first. And so I think that's how people are looking at this one. It's interesting. I remember before Death Stranding 1 came out, Kojima had like some sort of crazy quote of like, Americans won't understand this game. They don't get it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
something like that and it always stuck with me and I laughed and yeah I think that's what he's going for is right Stella something out of the ordinary something to get people talking and have this conversation of I don't understand this or I don't like this and the more talk the better and of course also how to improve right you want that constructive criticism to get better each and every time but it's a sequel it's a follow-up we kind of know what to expect and we know what we want out of it but
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
It is exciting to see so many people talk positively about this from all the big previews that we've seen. Blessing went out to Kojima Productions. He came back and can't stop talking about this game. He can't stop thinking about this game. So it's exciting. And the wild part is we don't have to wait long, Stella. This game is coming out in June.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
We are a month away from playing Death Stranding 2 and seeing what Kojima and his team have created for this follow-up sequel.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
You know what I mean? Well, now Blessing didn't like the hands in Elden Ring. He wants to sniff those little piggies.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Yeah, so the hand creatures freaked out Blessing in Elden Ring.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Yeah, it's a wild one. Kojima, like you said, Stella, you said so well, he's an artist, right? And I think he wants that kind of conversation around the things he makes, and he wants to create things that get people thinking. And Death Stranding is already a game that gets people thinking and gets them out of their comfort zone. Like, The walking simulator, yeah, I get it on the gameplay side.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
I got to show the yams off.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
But when you watch the story and you really think about what's going on and all the conversation he's having, it's pretty wild and out there. And especially what we just went through with COVID and lockdown and now where we are today, there's a lot going on here that somehow Kojima is always on the pulse of and has something to say, even if maybe he doesn't think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
I'm one of your show hosts, Snowbike Mike, and today I am joined by the incredible Stella Chung. Stella, how are you?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
this is going to happen or he's on it, but somehow he's talking about us not being connected but being overly connected. It's exciting stuff, Stella. I really loved Death Stranding with Roger this past weekend.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
No, I had played it before. I never gave it a bunch of time. I probably played a couple hours of it and then put it down. Stella, as you said, the walking sim for me was never my cup of tea gameplay-wise, but I think If you get past the first initial hours, which is kind of heavy on the tutorial, it is much more walking and slower.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Once you get past that, there's a lot more to do, and you kind of start really getting the movement going of, there is a gun in that game, right? Like, early on, you don't see the gun. You don't get to have those moments. And, yeah, once you unlock the bolo gun, you're out there fighting other, you know— and, of course, Troy Baker and his crew.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
There's a lot happening in this game that you don't see in that initial beginning, so I think a lot of people will probably like me of, I'm good, I wanted that action, that stealth espionage that Kojima's known for. I'm out. But if you stayed a little bit longer, I think you would have gotten a pretty good time out of that one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Oh, you're right. Got him.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Stella, yeah, we had a great weekend playing Death Stranding. I'm happy to announce to everybody out there that Roger has stitched together the whole weekend video. So all the recordings will be one massive video put up on YouTube this Saturday. So keep an eye out if you missed any of the Death Stranding fun with the big walk-a-thon marathon stream that will be going up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Okay, okay, okay. I haven't seen that one yet. I might have blacked that one out of my mind right there. Probably, yeah. Stella, for the follow-up, are you jumping into this? Where are you? You have so many games. There's so much going on. Is this a must-play for you in June? Will you hold off? Will you ever get to this one? Where are you at on this?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25

So first stop, L.A., Summer Game Fest weekend.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Big celebrities, maybe Norman Reedus, maybe you pull out all the stops, get everybody for this one. Troy Baker, you would assume, would be there. But Stella, have you ever seen a video game go on a world tour like this before?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Stella, you are zigzagging around the globe.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
What? It's pretty wild. I'm sure they're teaming them up with certain dates and maybe events. But I think... I think I'm not wrong on this. I think they did this for Death Stranding 1 as well. They did the world tour, the big marketing buzz of going all around. But exciting to see it, number two.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
I loved the experience, Stella. I had so much fun with Roger and the community here, kind of funny, laughing, celebrating, and most importantly, getting the high off that Kojima joint. He's got another banger, and I can't wait for Death Stranding 2. Stella, have you played Death Stranding? Are you excited for 2?

It's going to be a wild little fun world tour for Kojima Productions over there. Stella, exciting stuff. Would you go to this in LA? Cause you're down in LA.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Okay. I like that, Stella. Well, keep an eye out. Maybe you'll get the invite. Maybe you'll be there. You can tell us all about the experience. Because, yeah, I would love to know what this looks like. What kind of fun experience do you get? Of course, is it a concert? Is it just Kojima up on stage with some celebrities? It's probably a full-day event of fun, I'm sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
You'll probably be playing the game as well. So it should be really, really cool. So hopefully some audience members out there will go to it and let us know all about it. Stella, let's talk about story number five. Hell Divers 2, of course, had a big update this week. Did you jump in at all, Stella?

Game 6, our next project, will happen the way it will happen thanks to you, Torjani said. The seemingly the the quote sparked some concern from one fan who said it suggested that Arrowhead was, quote, already abandoning a good chunk of depth, time and money from Helldivers to one quote. Georgiani quickly shut that down, insisting, quote, nah, it's all Helldivers to for now.

Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
A very, very small team will spin up something later this year and go at it slowly. Helldivers 2 is our main focus and will be for a long time. Stella, what do you think about that? Are they going to step away from Helldivers 2 to focus on their next game and not give the players content?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
You know what, Stella? I have a big rule in the stream room, and you've seen it before. I make everybody clean all the time. And, you know, I didn't sweat too much. I would say it was at a 4 out of 10 stank level. 4 out of 10.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Of course not.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
The exciting stuff about this is thanks to the massive success that Helldivers 2 was, the awesome community that they have, clearly the microtransactions that are working for them and all the sales that they're putting in has now allowed this team to really flourish and be able to start building their next big project while also still working on Helldivers 2, which is pretty wild to think about when you think of
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Stella, the smaller team from Helldivers 1 to now Helldivers 2, how big it's gotten and the ability for them to probably have a much larger staff and be able to do a new project in the works starting from the ground up and still support Helldivers 2. But to this person, I don't think Helldivers 2 is going anywhere anytime soon. No.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
100%, Stella. Yeah, I think this should be chalked up as a massive win, and it will be looked at that for the future. Helldivers 2, still big, right, Stella? There's still a bunch of people playing it. You get the big DLC coming out of the big update right now, and... I don't see in a world where we see Helldivers 2 slow down in the next year to two years.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
I think you've got a good lifespan on this game where they know that they are making money off the microtransactions. They found a good economy in that, like you said. There's no reason to slow that down, especially because that's going to fund your next project and beyond.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
But the ability now to say, hey, we've been so successful that we can have other people start working on a different project while we still feed the beast that is Helldivers 2. is probably an awesome accomplishment for this team. I don't think they ever would have thought they would probably be here with this. So really well done for them. And of course, yes, we're on a Discord AMA.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Somebody types that in. Now it gets the fans all riled up and worried. So I'm glad that the CEO was quick to say, hey, we're going to be here for a long time. We're not going anywhere. Everybody can relax and enjoy the game so far. Do you worry, Stella, that it will slow down, though, as a lapsed player like myself? Are they doing enough to get the casual audience back in?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Is something like this new update enough to continue to keep the waves going up and down? You know live service games so well. You know what it takes to keep an audience engaged, keep people spending money, but most importantly, bring lapsed players or old players or new players back in all the time. How do you keep that ebb and flow going?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Okay. You and I are in the room with the team. What's next for Helldivers 2? Stella, what do you want as a Helldivers player? What do you want to see next? How does it keep you engaged?

Blark or Blarkley writes in and says, I'm a laps player who has moved over to PC since the game released. Just bought it again on Steam and I'm loving it.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Stella, I love your idea of collaborating with big IPs like Dune and putting in fun monsters like that. You talk about the cityscapes. I want to see more of that, Stella. I love, I'm a big EDF fan, Earth Defense Force. And I love the big, destructible environments. I love the cityscapes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
And so, yeah, when we started seeing that in Helldivers 2 with one of the more recent updates and you started to see the buildings and the little towns, I want more of that in a big city. And maybe Super Earth with a downtown would be really, really awesome, Stella. That would be amazing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25

People have found success being able to hire incredible talent all around the globe. I thought we celebrated that in the games industry these past couple of years of the idea of you can get talent now from everywhere and not ask them to move from across the globe or not be able to get those talented people because they won't be able to move. Now we're saying, You got to come back to the campus.

Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
I'll save the yam for the end. A Riders Republic film is in the works from Bad Boys for Life director duo. This coming from Eric Van Allen at IGN. Ubisoft's extreme sports game, Riders Republic, is the latest in a long line of video games headed to the silver screen.

Everything in my life feels good except for my voice. I can't seem to get it back. And that's also because I'm not resting, Stella. I just can't stop streaming and playing video games. It's my favorite thing to do.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
Not much has been said about the direction other than the adaptation is poised to be an electrifying action movie delivering nonstop thrills, humor, and spectacular stunts on the snowy slopes of the Alps. Stella, Riders Republic, the movie, got to be there night one. How are we feeling about this?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
How about another Ubisoft movie? Maybe we help Ubisoft of like, hey, not all video games have to be greenlit as a movie. Maybe we get a little bit deeper into our IPs and we go, man, what else could we make? Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, maybe Prince of Persia.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
We got a lot of other IPs than Riders Republic that we should be greenlighting as movies. Odd choice. Odd choice hearing this off the bat. But I do think Stella... As someone who loves extreme sports, as someone who loves a yearly Warren Miller film all about skiing and snowboarding, growing up on movies like Out Cold, Biker Boys, Fast and Furious, right?

You think of the latest idea of trying to bring back Point Break, right? Of course, Bad Boys is a lot of fun. How do you do that with extreme sports? Is that going to be kind of the goal? Is this maybe more of a jackass, maybe a Travis Pastrana MTV-like humor that they're going for? What is this really going to be?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
I don't know, but I did grow up on a lot of movies like this that I loved, and so I'll give it a maybe. I'll give it a maybe.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
think there's a story to this like this game is so fun on its own but as a movie i'm like what is there to tell yes well that's what uh it's going to be the difficult challenge of this my pitch is go to youtube find some extreme sports kids who have a great youtube channel my friends over at the sickos are great kids that would do this right sign those kids to a netflix eight
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
a TV show deal and have them go visit sports, extreme sports pros around the world and them doing different stunts with them, whether it be surfing, whether that be snowboarding and skiing, get them out on the snowmobile. But I don't know if a movie is the answer, but I say that. And if the next fast and furious comes out, I'm going to go watch it sell it.

When I look at the screenshot, Stella, where's his big goofy shoes? Why does Sora have normal-looking shoes on? But also, game looks good. The Heartless, or whatever, I mean, I have to assume those are the Heartless, look great. They look much scarier than the PS2 games that I've been playing back in the day here. I'm all in for this right now.

Final Fantasy 13 versus, you know, Tim kept mentioning Noctis because there's a lot of Noctis and like Final Fantasy 15 vibes going on here. Still so impressed by the visuals we're seeing and like the amount of fidelity there is in this game and for it to be being advertised as, hey, this is a solo developer that's been working on this for many, many years.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
At the very least, PlayStation saw this game and went, we want to push this game. It is part of the China Hero Project. So they must have played it and saw something special in it. And so again, things like that gives me hope. But yeah, I want to do the Imran Khan thing. I want to preview this game. I want to play it for myself.

Because I really do want to play it, but I'm so scared of how monetized the hell it's going to be. Am I going to make a character, and my character's going to have all one stats across the board?

PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
I hope that translates to one a little bit more polished, but then also like a story that feels a bit more unique and inspired, which I think it has to be because this setting is completely different from anything they've done before. And that alone is exciting for me. They have I don't know the name of the actress, Lashana Lynch, Lashana Lynch. Right. Having her star in it is exciting.

Some of those third-party games that came out of nowhere, like Tides of Annihilation, games like that I feel like do a great job of wowing us, making us go, what the fuck is this, locking in, and then introducing us to a world of game that we haven't seen before. I think ending with Seros was...

But it's more so like Konami, not that they're out of the... They've been slowly entering back into the video games business, right? We're getting Metal Gear Solid 3 Delta. I forget what else. I know we're getting other things from Konami, but I can't even think of them off the top of my head. But I know it feels like it's been more of a slow burn of how do we... Oh, Silent Hill. We got Contra.

Contra. Silent Hill 2 was good. Silent Hill 2. Remember we beat Contra on stream? One sitting, one sitting. It's felt like they've been trying to figure it out though. Find their voice again.

I mean, this was the trailer that I think I've been wanting since the announcement of this. I wanted to see the characters. I wanted to see some of those cutscenes. I wanted to see how you could translate the personality of the original MGS3 to a remake. And, like, we're getting so much of this. Like, everybody looks so fantastic. Except for maybe Ocelot.

Oh, really? Yeah, the release date for this, yeah, leaked. And so, I think people were talking about this showing up here, and I think I might have brought it up on the KFGD just because of that, but seems looking fucking cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
Yeah. Again, like, from the lead designer of this game, right? Like, there's somebody who worked a lot on Deus Ex. And so, like, I would think about more of that type of development style versus something, like, from software, where it is, like, you know, you are trying to... You're having to figure out how to navigate this world without, like, much clue of how to do much, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
Like, you are putting together the pieces yourself. This game looks fucking awesome. I'm also... I'm with Andy of, like, I'm surprised by how much we saw in this trailer that I'm like, oh, damn, this looks... It looks crunchy. It looks like there's a lot to chew on in this game. Yeah, I'm in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
Stylistically, it reminds me of something like Returnal, except if Returnal feels like it min-maxes on gameplay, this looks like it's min-maxing on just world and lore and story in a way that I'm all the way into.

I love that. I mean, dude, that's... I got emotional of you reading that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
My take on it, and this... I think I'm going to come off as pretentious here, but allow me to be pretentious. This takes me back to, like, when I played Shadow of the Colossus and, like, you know, years later went online and read other people's interpretations of it, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
And, like, one of the interpretations that always stuck with me is the idea of Shadow of the Colossus being this game where, like any other game, you play as dude with a sword and you see an enemy and your first inclination is to start killing those enemies, right? And then over time you realize that you're the bad guy, right? Like, because...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
Because video games are this thing, you're so inclined to just go out and be violent because that's what... I'm the protagonist. I'm the protagonist. That's what video games are meant to do. You're meant to pick up a sword and be violent. I almost read this as kind of a parallel idea of, hey, you are a dude with gun because so many video games are dude with gun.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
So how do we translate dude with gun and turn that into... Creation. Creation. You are...

There was that 2D section that invoked a little bit of Nier, but then you have Child Colossus, big creatures, you have the combat that reminds you of, like, when you're fighting here, it reminds you of a fast-action game, right? Like a Platinum thing. But then the boss fights give me some Souls-like vibes to it.

They then had this crossroads of, oh, we're going to make this multiplayer thing because we need to figure out how to, like, take that step into making something that's going to be more financially viable for our studio. PlayStation then partners with them, makes a first-party thing in Returnal that's a hit. They buy them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
And now it feels like they are at that pivotal place of, we can kind of do whatever we want right now, right? I think this game is going to fucking slap.

Shut the fuck up. You didn't like my viral video on Twitter?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
I've never had that happen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
There was somebody who made a Google Sheet Excel file thing for me of... A while ago, I talked about the concept of the video game stocks where we talk about our hype for video games. We put in a number and ordered upcoming games and that sheet will then produce what the stock exchange is for upcoming video games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
I want to find that Excel sheet and see what that looks like because I feel like if we put our current hype meters, I can see Seros being a top three contender for us of like, this shit looks dope. This shit has me hyped. This is in my top two most hyped games right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
So good for you. Yeah, this feels like I think they've... found their flow for what State of Play is and what I think it should be. Because I think, for me, there were quite a few years there where I was so down on State of Plays because it felt like, one after the other, it felt like we were showing up to just be let down by announcements that I think just didn't do much for the audience.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
I think now, when I look at the last few, I don't watch the State of Play and go, this is one of the greatest presentations ever, but I think I've resolved on the fact that State of Play isn't... They're not meant to be the greatest showcases ever, right? Like, I...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
don't know and maybe i don't mean to go back and forth on this right of like will we get back to the late 20 uh 2010s playstation of getting those e3 showcases that were cinematic and you get ghost of tsushima followed by horizon followed by these things right i think we do get back to that that's going to be a summer playstation showcase ordeal state of plays i don't think are that yet and nor are they meant to be that in a way where i i look at the chat and a lot of chats like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
very upset or very let down by the state of play. And I come at this from a place of not necessarily knowing how to reckon that with, I guess, our perception of it. Because I mentioned to you on KFGD and before this of like, yeah, I'm coming at this with low expectations. And I think that's just because I know what state of plays are meant to be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
And even for those low expectations, I come out of this and if I'm giving a score, I'm giving an 8 out of 10, I think this is great. But I also... I don't know. I'm in a place where it's hard for me to be mad about something that feels like it's doing exactly what it's meant to do. This is the exact kind of show that State of Play wants to be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
Yeah, I think it would have been dope to start with something a bit more exciting. But even looking through, I'm sure as we go through it, something might stick out to me. But I don't know what you would have started with. Maybe Onimusha, the new trailer for Onimusha 2 would have been a better starter. But even so, you're going to see this during the State of Play. Because guess what?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
This game is out in the next...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
week or so right and so you want to get that last marketing push for capcom and monster hunter wilds you want to remind people that hey this is coming and then also i think having new information for it being that you're getting those spring updates i don't know if it's exciting i don't know if there's a better way to kind of start this off though just for personal expectations
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
Well, we'll see if there's no technical difficulties. The Greg way will be a magic match between me and the one and only still Mike Mike. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
Yeah, like this shot right here, like a lot of these backgrounds just look incredible and have a lot going on. As this trailer started, in my mind, to be frank, I had like Newgrounds final boss, like those words in my head of like, all right, cool. Like you have that 2D almost flash like art style. But the more you see, the more you're like, oh, fuck, but there's a lot going on here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
Like they really put a lot of a lot of talent into this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
I'm fine with it, right? Like, I think the Sega brand is interesting because I think they could pull off another Sega All-Stars type thing. But when you look at their last racing game or their last car racer, it was a Sonic 1-2, right? Like, Sonic Team Racing, I believe it was. So, like, I think I kind of expected this when you have Sonic being the main thing in the title as opposed to Sega.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
But yeah, the Crossworlds, I at the very least would have expected...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
some crossover and i think maybe that could be dlc or maybe that is in the final game you might get maybe a handful of crossover characters but even if we don't get those like i look at this trailer and i'm like all right this looks like a fun kart racer i like the i like the sonic movie interpretation of the rings i think that's really fun and i think that's going to lead to it feeling and playing like a unique kart racer right like the tough thing about this genre is that nintendo has such a chokehold on it especially when you talk about mario kart and a mario kart coming out it's not like a mario kart's coming out anytime soon
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
Yeah, exactly, right? When a new Mario Kart's probably gonna be coming out this year, that puts this in a tough place, but you gotta have a good gimmick, and I think this is a good gimmick of, hey, you're gonna pick a track, and guess what? That track is gonna take you through two or three different types of worlds, and, oh, it seems fun. It looks fun, and so...

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25

What does that mean, Stella? I'm so deep right now in a chat. I've been going through my notes. I've been going through all the studios I know about. I've got pages front to back. I'm losing my mind. Do you want me to get you a chair? I'll get you a chair. You got the notes? Sure, we can talk about it. No, I like sitting here. We'll get a third chair.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Let's talk about it, Stella. Of course, I check out the internet and I say, what does the internet say? Where do they want to go? And the internet is screaming the Oblivion remake, which you guys all talked about yesterday on the podcast. Is that an option? It seems like the internet wants that one the most.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Would the Oblivion remake be a this year game? That's my problem when I'm going to the spider web, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Odd that we see no Outer Worlds 2, right? I get that we have a vowed right around the corner, but you promoted Outer Worlds 2 to be here. But then, like, anything can shift. It's the games industry. I get it. But no Outer Worlds 2?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
I continue down my list. Right now I go back into the Xbox library and I start looking at teams that we've heard from that might be on the fringe of a studio's brand new game. What's a brand new game, Stella? A game I've already seen or a game I've never seen?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Where do we go on that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
So let's go over some teams I've seen, right? Some games I've seen. Coalition with Gears E-Day. Now, I know Xbox loves now to start showing you the now, the future, and the far future. So Gears E-Day might be the far future, might be the future, but they did show it to me. So it's on my list. I don't know if it's here, but I'll tell you what. You put Gears E-Day in this, it's going to pop off.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
I mean, we're all going to lose our minds if that happened in there. I put that one red line. That one's out. Okay. Okay. Chad is saying Aaron Greenberg has said it's unannounced. Unannounced. I'm looking.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Then I kick off in exile with Clockwork Revolution. That was going to be my baby. We've seen Clockwork before. That looks like Bioshock. Yes, that's right. But it's not Bioshock. Yes, I like that one a lot. I like that team. Exactly. So now I go to unannounced projects.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Then there's one team that I haven't heard from in a while. The F. Double Fine. What is up with Double Fine? What are they making? We all loved Psychonauts 2. Now it's time to get that true Xbox game under their belt. This is all fully funded. Let's go.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
I love this sweater. Stella, feel him. It's a medium. I'm an actual archer. Kid checked me when I bought it. He's like, this is a medium. I was like, don't worry about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
From Double Fine? The people want it. The people call for it. You've just activated Paris somewhere. He's in the chat. Out in the world. He activated him. Hi, Paris.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
What are you doing? X-Cast reunion. It's interesting because Double Fine is my only Xbox studio that I don't know about. Ninja Theory, we just had Hellblade 2, so they're off the list. Mojang, right, they're making Minecraft, unless they make another Minecraft spinoff with another studio, which they have done. I don't think they're on my list right now. Rare with Everwild.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
We've technically seen Everwild, so does it fall into that bucket? Turn Ted just in Forza. He's in Discord. He's going to turn it on. Undead Labs did State of the K3. God, I want it! But announced!
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Bethesda Studios, right? Like, you know what the big team at BGS is doing with Elder Scrolls 6. So we kind of wait on that. Doom to Dark Ages. ZeniMax Online is supposedly doing something other than just ESO. So that could be something there. Something to keep your eye on that one. Arcane is doing Blade. Not that I know of, no. Machine Games is doing indie DLC.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
So that crosses off all my Bethesda stuff. Now we get into Blizzard Activision. Not the strongest with them. They're new. I don't know what their studios really break down into, but I would say this. There's been a big push for Cod to go every two years. There's been a big push of, hey, there's some great studios there. What if we let them make their own IP? What if?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
What? I don't know anything about it. I don't know about that. I don't know about that. I don't know about that. Can you imagine?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
I was waiting for him just to get dragged. Talk over me. Let me know what you got.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Yeah, you can play the game now if you can announce anything right now and then save everything for June because that is the big blowout. That's the big second half of the year. But, you know, we are tracking the year here, and you're only showing Doom Dark Ages and South of Midnight, right? So it's like, all right, well, what's the rest of the year really look like?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Let's start throwing some darts on the board and getting us ready because the last two, we've had five games announced. So where are we at with this when we have four? Well, four announced. Three ready, but yeah, fourth is going to be the surprise. Will they do a super surprise five? I don't know on that one. But then I also, Paris and Stella, I go to Project Dragon from IO Interactive.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
They are currently making James Bond, but we did hear there is something cooking over on the Xbox side for that. Is this the time? I don't think so. Is it this time to finally see Final Fantasy VII come to Xbox on console? It's probably an E3 thing, but still, Greg, Kick off the year with some hype.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Visions of Mana. We've had other teams come in and show their stuff. That would be fantastic. Oblivion Remake and Silksong are on my list of where we are.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Yeah, these are all, I don't, the wording is awkward. The things of like, we've never seen it before. We've seen contraband, but we haven't actually seen contraband. So when does that fall? It's pretty exciting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Yeah, but a great way to peel back the curtain and take us into Double Fine. Remember, these devs are talking.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
It's Pudding Creatures. That's what I got.

Stella, any surprises that I did not go over from that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Foxy Steve says Killer Instinct. Yeah, I thought of KI. Who is making that, though? Of course, we do know the team. Iron Galaxy. Iron Galaxy is now kind of free out there, and they're making stuff. So maybe. How fast is that turnaround time? I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
They do have a problem at the beginning of the year releasing games, so we have a vowed around the corner. Over the past couple of years, me and Paris, we've talked about it a lot on XCast. They've had an issue the first six months of the year releasing games and giving gamers that kind of boost there at the beginning. It's always in the fall. It's always right at the end of the year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
It's making you feel like, oh, it was a good year, but then you forget we went three to six months of absolutely no first-party exclusive titles there. So it'd be a big win.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Yeah, I don't know about that, but that would be sick. That would be sick.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Hey, come on by at a developer direct. No, they've done well with the last one with visions of mana, right? Like they've done well, like teaming up with other studios that are outside of our box and going, Hey, you know, we know these guys, they're making great games to bring in some titles over here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
It would be cool, but yeah, I don't, that's kind of super high, but it would be awesome to go behind the scenes over there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
It's changed the name. It's Wild of Evers now. If we're going to go with the internet, the Oblivion remake is exciting to me. I'm the kid who grew up with Morrowind and Oblivion. Like, I'm all about that. Yesterday in the whole Games Daily conversation, you slacked me with the devil horns.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
These jabronis trying to get you away from Oblivion. I'm over here like, you should play that game. It's a great game. Shut down the gates.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Oh, it's a fantastic one. Okay. If the remake is real, I would love to see that one. That gets me pumped up for this. But another good one, right? Year three of doing the developer underscore direct. We've had a lot of fun with them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
They've done a really good job at spotlighting the studios, going behind the scenes, letting us see the faces of the incredible human beings who make the games we love. So I'm glad that they're doing another one, right? I think they found a good cadence with this into June into, of course, Tokyo Game Show and the Game Awards, right? If they can keep that kind of presence up, showing the games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
They have a lot to offer here with all the studios that they now own. Of course, we always can say the fun, let the dominoes fall when it happens, Paris. But, you know, it's still, they have a lot of games, a lot of great developers under their umbrella. Hopefully they can pay those developers what they deserve. No more layoffs and we can have great games over on the platform.

Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
And anything Kojima Productions does is going to get greenlit. It's exciting, bless. It's very interesting, right? We talk about people wanting new IP. They want those new stories. And then also the idea of getting burnt out on a franchise, it going and overstaying its welcome for being too long, right? And when you think of a game from Kojima Productions, you think of a big AAA game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
It is a long roadmap to get to the end, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
We are still at the doorstep of two. The idea of three is still, let's just, a decade away, right? And so will people be burnt out by that time of like, hey, I don't need any more Death Stranding? Will it be, hey, I want more because we've had those other projects. I'm still wanting more from this world of Death Stranding. It's fun to think about, and it's wild that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
they've created something where it can continue on, right? You talk about these plate gates, the idea of maybe going somewhere else in the world and telling a new story. It seems like him and the team are ready for that. So I like the opportunity and the possibility of more if that's what it leads to.

Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
You said you liked it, though. Um... Show me more of the pictures. Okay. I was just saying to you during the ad break, I was like, you know, the PlayStation controllers, they've never nailed the partnership special edition ones, right? The special edition colorways have been good, but I've never seen one for games that really scream my name, besides Spider-Man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I think that's been the best one so far. So this one... I wish it was a little bit better.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Yeah, no, I don't think so. I think Xbox's business strategy has been shown here in the past couple of months and the year, right, of, like, they want to make more money as possible and they want the games to be everywhere, so hopefully they can get a piece of that pie. I don't think we're going to look five years from now and go, OD is exclusive. No, no. Yeah, I agree with that. It's everywhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
At most. Yeah. They're going to go everywhere with that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I think Kojima has earned his right to be in the conversation, right? I think there's going to be a lot of conversations about games and developers that people love and cherish, and Kojima and his team will definitely be in there.

Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Yeah, Mafia was always a GTA-like, GTA clone for me. That's why I loved it so much.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
And we even got more.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Because we're going to play Death Stranding all weekend long.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Wow. So I should start shifting my mind to more of like an uncharted experience, you think? Because like I am thinking I go to Mafia for a GTA like clone. I want that open world experience. I like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Yeah, taking a chance. Very exciting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
It will be exciting. I want to see more Mafia. I'm not fully sold on the old country yet, so it will be interesting to see once we get up there what's it like. Do I vibe with this one?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Mike, you love to see it. Bless you. I'll keep it very short. You love to see it. Very interesting stuff here coming, I believe, from Steven Totillo right there. People love Remedy. It's cool to see Remedy thinking about their future and what they can do with their game budgets and their games. And, of course, the people who make the games. So good for them. And, you know, best of luck to them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I love their games.

Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Oh, not at Kojima Productions. Yeah. No, this is home. This will be his forever home. They will partner up with other companies to make games with them, but this is where Kojima will end. He will pass the torch on, and we will root for that team if they're good without Kojima for years to follow.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
You didn't know what that was? Oh, my God. Mike. Here's the deal. Mike. So there was a summer where Chris Paul, LeBron James, Dwayne Wade were all on a banana boat. You know, those inflatable banana rafts behind the boat?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
They call it the banana boat summer where everybody was talking about insider trading. Yeah. I thought maybe Norman Reedus, he's riding a banana boat in the video game. That's very logical thinking.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Okay. Sure, whatever. I get it. I get it. But that's tough.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
He was talking about the pandemic and it's some real stuff right there. Let's just rewind all the way to the top. Yeah. Kojima, 61 years old, has a lot on his plate already. Yep. We're talking about a third death stranding. The timelines on how to make big budget games are very large right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
So, yes, Kojima possibly not being on the third death stranding, if it was going to go there, understandable. He has a lot on his plate. He's getting up there in age. Maybe it's time to pass the baton. Maybe his love for it isn't the same. I don't want to put words in his mouth, but I'm just saying there's a lot that goes on to it when you think about that. Ah, okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Yeah, I see what you're talking about. Let's start with that, Bless. Death Stranding 3, Kojima not directing it, not being the guy. Does that change the way you would feel about a third in this? You've already played Death Stranding 2, so it's interesting to talk to you about this, right? Um...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
I don't know who the successor is. You didn't have anybody that was also speaking during some of these meetings that you could say, Hey, this person seemed to be leading things as well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Another follow-up would be, do we need a Death Stranding 3? Sure, you've played it. I don't know how deep you can go, but I think after people played Death Stranding 1, many people thought maybe that's just going to be a one-and-done situation. I don't know if it's going to be the next... big franchise for Kojima Productions.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Now, you know, five years plus later, we're like, oh, we're getting Death Stranding 2. We're pretty excited about that. But are we going to be feeling the same way at the end of Death Stranding 2 where it's, I need a three. I want to conclude this trilogy. I want to know more about these plate gates and the other stories around the globe as you referenced Australia, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Do you think, man, I have so many questions for you now, right? There's the questions of, do you think the mass appeal audience is going to buy in on this one and go, we want a third? Do you think studio heads will look at that and go, yeah, let's make, let's green light this third one. But most importantly, do you think there's more story to this, right? This is a very heady story.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
There's a lot going on. It's wacky. It's weird, right? Do you think you can make a third one and still have a good narrative going on where people will buy in, especially maybe if Kojima isn't there with his wacky ideas with the

I think there were probably 20 yeah I was just like shocked I just looked at it because the last one I can remember was Sora and right now he's going for 16 bucks okay but I imagine he he's been marked down probably well it's Nintendo this that's 16 bucks on the Nintendo store so maybe maybe he came out at 16 bucks I don't know

Also, I just wanted to pop in and say I agree with Andy on, like, we probably would have seen some of these jumps anyway. I was listening to Last of the Nintendogs last night, and Jeff Grubb was making really good points of, for the longest while, or for a little bit, Nintendo felt like they were kind of behind on, like, up-pricing their stuff because of... you know, the PS4 and PS5 generations.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
Um, and especially with like the looming threat of GTA six and like the, uh, predictions even before election stuff, like all this stuff, people thinking like GTA six might come out and be like a hundred bucks. Uh, this, this Nintendo move feels very much like a, they wanted to make the first step before any of that happened. Um,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
Instead of they price things normally, and then, you know, then we get GTA 6 for $100, and then games start being $70, $80 regularly, and then they're still, you know, charging at $60 regularly, and then later on charging up and stuff like that, so...

And we'll raise tariffs and skyrocket that aspect of our economy that we have not seen since right before the Great Depression, which is interesting. But we won't raise federal minimum wage, which would actually encourage more spending in a healthy economy.

I have to assume that a game on its standards right now is, sure, it's making money, but, like, 24 hours, one day off of not making money, three years into Marvel Snap or however long it's been, can't be making that much money, right?

Yeah, that sucks, Andy. That's some weird stuff going on there. Of course, now manager, whoever's got to come out on a Monday morning meeting and say, okay, well, all the projects canceled. Who's got ideas? And now we've got to reset. What is the idea? What's the pitch here? Because live service games clearly aren't the pitch, but it's got to be some sort of blend of live service.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
I would assume in the future, right? It's not live service, but it's live service. It's got to have something like that. I bet in this pitch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Yeah, I think it's a blend, though. I think it's not like a hardcore live service like we're thinking of when we use that term. I think it's a loaded term. People go right to it. But I think there is a different blend of live service that you can find the happy medium on, right? Because, yeah, of course, my mind goes to... Give me an example. What do you think? Well, let's start.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
You just pitched the layup Sony, right? Third-person action narrative adventure game. Like, that's what everyone would say. Oh, just pitch that, right? But there's something else there that I think the corporate overlords want you to say that's not that, and it's not just live service that clearly just failed. It's something in the middle. And we've seen those happen before.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
That is that blend, right? Like, I don't know what they could pitch, but, like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
No, I'm thinking it's got to be multiplayer. It's got to be something like a Destiny or Division campaign. a twisted metal like game that has legs to go on for more than one year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
I'm looking for a game that I, if I was the corporate overlords and what they've clearly have been swaying towards is I'm looking at you to pitch me something that's more than one year and more than six months of profits. Are you looking like, I need you to give me something that's going to be around for a while longer than a year. Is that,

I just don't think they've wiped their hands of that. They're not like, oh, it failed, we're done. There's no way that the corporate overlords are going, oh, well, those failed, like, we're done forever. They have a big profile or portfolio already of single-player games. They're looking for the moneymakers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
It's an interesting spot to be in, right? Because you have to first look at the two studios, like you said. Who are the teams that are about to pitch you, right? They're known for single-player games. They were working on live service games, so maybe they have a little talent in both, right? But, like, what are they going to pitch you? Clearly, what does the market say? Where do we want to be?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Am I really doubling down and saying, yeah, here's all the budget in the world. Take... five to seven years to create the ultimate third-person action-adventure single-player game like we're known for? Or is it, hey, you have two to three years, make some smaller project, and let's hit this thing going right now?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Because it's very interesting of, like you said, right, they've been shell-shocked by Concord. Where are they going to go? Clearly, they don't want to go fully into live service because the audience doesn't want that. But the global audience clearly shows that Fortnite is still dominant and we want a piece of that pie. But we're known for this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Do we just double down on the giant blockbuster single-player games that we're known for? But is that making enough money? We constantly see all these stories of, hey, it was a big-time game. It didn't technically make enough money or it made just enough. They want more than that.

You have seen this game before. I promise you on that one. Jamvan writes in and says, if I'm Sony, it's way more important to have a fast turnaround than a live service game that could flop. Remakes and remasters of known quantities. But you've already been known for making too many remakes. Which ones do you really need remakes of? Sly? Early Uncharted?

So will that turn people away? So let's break it down right now. It's in early access. Was there a price tag to that early access? And then on top of that, when you say it's like lacking features and you can see some of the, you know, the issues here, is that going to turn people away? You know, we talk about first impressions mattering here and this kind of being the welcome to the world.

Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Let's, of course, keep it going. We have Flying Penguins and Smokin' Joe. Smokin' Joe, both on Bluepoint, should remake Ben's Uncharted games or they should be making Bloodborne remake.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Of course, right? Yeah, yeah. Busses and Bridges with our final super chat right here says, I think Asobi and Astro Bot doing so well, Bend and Bluepoint could maybe revive an old franchise like SOCOM, Ape Escape, et cetera. As Herman said, Sony is looking at avenues to revive old franchises.

I would love to see SOCOM. I would really like to see if SOCOM could go up against the test of time with the Call of Duty and all of the first-person shooters and the shooter genre right now. Because SOCOM is beloved by a lot of old heads like myself because we remember those days, but it's a different market now, and I don't know if SOCOM has got the juice like a lot of us think it does.

Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25

Now, people might say I'm wrong on that, but like, Fortnite is at a point now where they're trying to create a lot of user-generated content, and they're trying to show that the inside of the Fortnite world, you can create things like this because they wanted Andy Cortez to come in and create games for them that will keep people in the ecosystem.

So games like Fortnite Ballistic, the Rocket League, or the Rocket Racing, the band one that they have, and the more things they do are just reasons to keep you locked into Fortnite. They don't have to be stellar successes. It's just now you're just here longer when you possibly would have gone... man, I don't really care for Fortnite right now. I would love to try a 5v5 tactical game.

Maybe I should go play Counter-Strike. And it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. We got that for you right here. And you can even use your skins. And you're like, ah, shit, yeah, why not?

Well, SOCOM, you could have single player, right? And then have the multiplayer on the side, but multiplayer would be the bread and butter.

But I'm telling you, Andy and Barrett and the audience out there, there is no way that the corporate overlords at Sony are not still on the live service trend. They might not be going 100% for that, but they're looking for a blend on this pitch that is still, hey, we can make money six months to a year, a year to two years still off of this product. That isn't just the single player only.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Here's the experience that makes a big push the first three months. And then we have sales throughout the year and it dies off. I'm telling you, they're still looking for that pitch. They want the blend.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Or maybe it didn't have the money-making tactic that it needed. Maybe it just didn't have the money-making tactic.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25

Andy Cortez, Silk Song. Big update. What was that chocolate cake about? What was that cake about? Was it a birthday that maybe that Gibroni was celebrating?

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
yeah do you think maybe like it's interesting because we always talk about these games and like developers we want to know more but then at the same time we don't need you to show more but like maybe a team like this just a casual tweet of like hey we're out to lunch we're having a great time well for well more than anything i feel like we only think that way when it comes to developers showing games too early and obviously this is one of those examples yes

Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
So we don't get 1.0 this year? I don't think so. Because now I'm getting into fantasy critic mode because Andy made me. Oh, of course. I didn't make you pick shit. Team Andy made me pick this. No, no. It's in the team name, Andy. Andy made me pick this. I picked this game and, you know, here it is. You switched the team name during the draft. Here it is. I need points for this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Yeah, that's too bad. Thoughts out to Thought Pennies. And let's see where that goes. Can somebody else pick them up and help with the publishing and give them the funding to finish and get to the finish line? Or is that dead in the water and we won't see that? We'll see. But yeah, a lot of Warhammer titles. Some good, some fine. We'll see.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25

Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Yeah, it was an unfortunate one because, of course, we are thankful to be creators that are supported by an incredible audience.

a couple of weeks there of people coming to the realization of like, Oh snap, everything that I've worked so hard to create my livelihood that has been kind of dependent on Tik TOK.

Summer Game Fest, like big blowout, probably a beta right after that as we lead into September. So I think with the vibes being off within the studio, of course, now nobody probably wants to walk into that studio and have a really positive mindset of what's going on right now until the vibes are fixed. But that would have been the lead up, right? So now this whole roadmap is probably thrown off.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
So I expect this game to be delayed until probably 2026. The issue is, is now you have Grand Theft Auto looming in May. And so your window gets a little bit tighter to keep player attention, keep all eyes on you. With our graders, we still have the question mark of when. You have a game like Exoborn, when, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Like we have a lot of these extraction shooters that are looking to get your attention, looking to jump in and make a splash, but we don't know when or where they'll be seen, what's next for them. But when we look at Marathon, there was something missing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
in that pot right there had the cool looks that that sci-fi futuristic look that we all liked issue is the art now that's going to be a major thing how do they change that how do they fix that the gunplay was bungee right it felt good to play the character classes i thought all had unique abilities that played into the mix there but there was something missing in that gameplay that wasn't up to snuff with what it's going to be competing against and i don't know where you find that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
I don't know what that is. If it's the PVE element, we talked about those bots being quite strong. There was a mix of a number of different kind of NPCs that you would battle different formats, but it wasn't like our creators. Well, all of a sudden I was fighting a giant vulture in the sky, the giant flying plane or giant spider, right? Like there was pretty limited NPC battles, but the NPCs,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
were a lot tougher than any other extraction shooter that I've encountered, where that led to gameplay of going, oh, man, I can't do this alone. I need my team. And also, if I engage with these bots right now, I'm going to be opened up for a third-party attack at any moment.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Yeah, it's interesting you say that because I do think that out of all of them, Marathon is the most casually welcoming one out of all of them. I think this is the game that can get the casuals in. It's riding the high off of Bungie's name. Everybody knows Destiny. They know that they can trust Bungie. This product from this team, right?

Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
On the outside, if you're not listening to all of this insider news, right, that we're talking about here on The Depths. But, like, that's a team that people can trust here, right? You see the gameplay and you go, that looks cool. Futuristic. I know the gunplay is going to be tight. The gameplay is fun at its core. The issue is it's missing something to take it above and beyond.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
I think when you look at Ark Raiders and you play that game, I don't think the casual audience is going, this is the game that I'm going to put down here. anything for. I'm going to play it for a little bit, maybe not jump on. And of course, we'll see what happens, right? All of these games are waiting. Exoborn, Ark Raiders, we have this.

You have games like Hunt Showdown, Escape from Tarkov that are still thriving, right? This is a market that is moving and changing every day and waiting for someone to really stick their flag in and say, I'm going to be the one. But I would... If I had to bet before all this goes down, it would have been Marathon to do this, right? But now, I think Marathon has to delay until 2026.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
I don't think you can rework this. This is the game. There is no massive changes you can make to this, right? I think people want more of a Hell Divers. I think a lot of people thought, like, hey, let's make more Hell Divers, a PvE situation where we have fun. But this is a PvP situation with light PvE elements. It's an extraction shooter. That's what this is supposed
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I don't think the mass audience wants that.

I think it was a game that was trying to find its footing. Right. Right. Like this is a game that hasn't hit the market yet, or a game that is getting towards the ramp up of like, here's the green light. We're going to go off the starting line and we've now just misstepped completely. And so when is the new starting line? How do you recover from this? What kind of art will we see?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
This is massive for Sony and for Bungie, right? Of like Sony putting a lot of eggs in Bungie's baskets being that live service help that they wanted the whole team to be able to look up to and build off of. Destiny is slowing down, right? Of like Destiny 2 is still coming out with updates, but it is slowing down at the end of its life cycle, right?

So five to six years out seems about right from the announcement that we had here with Herman Holst and the saying of like, yeah, we're going to get to that here in the future. Five to six, probably more generous. Seven is probably right where we're at.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
I think you look at it and go, okay, well, that means OD's got to be, what, three years? four years if we're pushing it towards the back end. But yeah, this is a man here who's probably looking at the tail end of his career going, how much more do I want to spend on games? I have a passion for directing. Can I still do that? When does that look like? And how do I get into that still?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Yeah, I wonder if HBO or WB took this. Ah, yeah, good call. Good call, yeah. They'll do that thing probably where they reset it at some point. Only the YouTubers are having issues with the stream right now. It happens. Twitch is totally safe from all of that.

And then the 13th is the day to celebrate your friend Marie, if you have a friend Marie out there. I still have all the dates written down from when we had Brian Altano on the Kind of Funny podcast, and we thought about what other days we could celebrate. So I looked through a bunch of things, like May—
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
Yeah, I think it's natural to wonder that. It's natural to wonder, will this kind of kill anybody's interest in the show, kill anybody's momentum to keep on wanting to watch it when after, you know, Pedro essentially gets it, you know, really badly in a very gruesome way. I got to assume it's going to be terrible. But like, yeah, you got to assume that we're letting it out. Mario day of all days.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
Of all days. Yeah, I don't know. I think that's... you're right that this is like their job and I trust in them that they are going to find the right way to make the audience want to continue watching. Yeah.

We don't want you to be part of this. We hate you, YouTube. YouTube got really, really hit with it. We have a $2 Super Chat. From William Lema says, Last of Us 2, I always think of it in three parts. And that is... I could definitely see that. Yeah, for sure. The latter half of that third part kind of feels like an epilogue in a way.

That's where I worry, though, Greg, of like, at what point are we stretching this too thin? Yeah. How much, you know, at what point are you like Bilbo Baggins say, I feel like too much butter spread across too much bread?

If you were to celebrate Billy Mays, rest in peace, Billy Mays, you would need 35 days in the month of May to be M-A-Y-3-5. Okay, okay, okay. If you want to celebrate your boyfriend, but you speak Spanish, novio, that's November 10th.

We can't have this. I don't like this narrative. It might uptight. I don't like it. I don't love this narrative. All right, we'll stop. Woods, let's see. Xavier? No. Well, we're getting all about days. Are we not really going to snub 311 day tomorrow? But it doesn't spell out anything. That's the thing.

I'm looking at her. He's looking at the Last of Us wiki on Fandom. Yeah. So, like, a different actress apparently voiced her, but Tati was, like, the face for her. Got it. Yeah, because I remember just, like, talking about that a lot of, like, oh, shit, that's the... But I hadn't played the game in so long. I don't know how the... I don't remember how that character sounds, you know?

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25

I think it's Marinelli and, uh, Deborah Wilson. Thank you. Um, uh, Deborah had to say that, uh, the end of the trailer, it shows a group of gunmen with the narrator talking about how the United cities of America's predecessor, the United States of America had a prominent gun culture. It's possible that one of death strandings, two things will be about America's culture and fascination with

Unbelievable stuff right there.

Well, we definitely had shifts in gameplay near sort of the end of it where it kind of became, kind of felt more like a traditional sort of style Kojima game, but very excited for it. It's one of those things you really look forward to, Mike, and you gather the whole family around to watch because it's like, Kojima just dropped the 10-plus minute trailer, which he does for all of his games.

And it's something that I kind of forgot that they were... I kind of forgot that this was going to happen because they were at South by Southwest. And they were showing off the game and, you know, I guess having panels or whatever. So, yeah, I fired up the stream to play Dark Souls 2 and people were like, oh man, did you see the Death Stranding 2 trailer? Came out 22 minutes ago. What the fuck?

The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
Of course, yeah. Stop everything right now. And the one thing I will say about the trailer is that the last couple of Death Stranding 2 trailers... haven't done the most for me. I think I'm just kind of... Even the puppet? Troy Baker with the crazy fucking electric guitar? No, that one was sick. I'm talking about... There was one additional one in the middle that I forget what showcase it was on.

Maybe I'm making it up in my own mind. I don't know who the actress is for freaking Last of Us. But when that game... When we saw one of the more recent ones, I'm just... I was kind of like, okay, man, I want to just see the game. And I love Kojima getting all weird, of course, but I think this 10-minute trailer is kind of the perfect combination of...

Today, after Kind of Funny Games Daily, you will get the Gamescast, where it's going to be all about the Death Stranding 2 trailer. Reaction, theories, hopes, dreams, Easter eggs.

amazing visuals with snippets of what gameplay could look like. The weather effects, the avalanche. The water sort of rushing and kind of, it looks like a dam is broken. Yes. A lot of great.

Like, I'm sure I'm making it sound more drastic than it seems. I was just like, okay, let's just see the game. And now I'm like, okay, you really cooked with this trailer. So, very exciting.

This comes from Jez Corden. Jez. Exclusive. Xbox's new hardware plans begin with a gaming handheld set for later this year with full next-gen consoles targeting 2027. Wow. Handheld this year? This year. Microsoft's first foray into PC gaming handhelds begins with a partner device. Partner device. Whoa. Set to launch this year with its own Xbox Series X and S successors now fully in production.

And the image is... It's, you know... Kind of a mock-up, but it's there in the article. The Xbox X and S generation has been a bit of an odd one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
Microsoft's Xbox console hardware sell-through has declined quarter after quarter over some time, but Xbox's addressable monthly active user base has been skyrocketing, owing to the purchase of Activision Blizzard, armed with mobile games like Diablo Immortal, Candy Crush Saga, Hearthstone, blah, blah, blah. Let me scroll back, scroll further down the... Article right here.

First up, it seems like Microsoft is working with a PC gaming OEM. Think Asus, Lenovo, MSI, Razer, etc. With an Xbox branded gaming handheld. Surprisingly slated for later this year in 2025 if plans are met. Codename Keenan. Codename Kenan.

The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
This gaming handheld would look unmistakably Xbox, we're told, complete with an official Xbox guide button and Xbox design sensibilities. Given that it's a partner device, similar to Lenovo's SteamOS partnership with Valve, I expect this handheld to be more PC-oriented. It'll most likely run full Windows, put in the Microsoft Store, and...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
A lot of people are freaking out about that. For the stream, the Nick Locke continues. And don't forget, the 12-hour stream is on your YouTube channel right now. It's on Kind of Funny Games' YouTube channel right now. We uploaded it the day after 12 and a half hours of just... You know, accusations. Yeah. Kids don't have the heart, you know. Lots of blaming.

PC Game Pass front and center alongside the ability to install things like Steam. The device will likely serve at least in part as a research experiment for Microsoft. I expect that handled will test new Windows 11 quote device aware capabilities while reducing third party OEM bloatware that typical devices typical devices like the Lenovo Legion Go or the Asus ROG Ally.

Mike, I mean, this is pretty massive.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
I think I'm kind of, you know, not only excited that Microsoft sees this market as a serious thing to dive into. But, you know, aside from slapping the Microsoft Xbox logo on this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
Especially with it not being Microsoft-made hardware. It's obvious that in the article, Jess Corden mentions that it will look distinctly Xbox, meaning Microsoft, either hardware designers or something. They're obviously very involved in whatever this process is going to be, it seems.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
But the fact that it's not a Microsoft hardware and it's an Asus or Lenovo or something like that, at what point is this just another handheld?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
Um... I mean, I do think that they've seen just enough losses hardware-wise. But, you know, there's just so much success out there already. What will make this... What will be the advantage here to going with the Xbox One? Is it the Xbox button with the share button? Is that all we're getting? You know what I mean? Yeah, that's not enough.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
Is that all that's going to make me say, I should get that over the whatever Lenovo's doing or Asus, ROG, Ally, you know?

Oh, get out of town. That's what makes it. Like, fuck. I'm selling that. You already just destroyed all of my argument because it's like, I would want that. I would want the fucking anniversary edition. Is it a Duke controller with a screen in the middle? Like, just a screen and that big-ass coffee cup holder.

The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
That's fucking great. The article continues on a bit talking about the plurality of devices are on the way for Xbox fans old and new, that their strategy is de-emphasize its own Xbox console audience as its main growth vector. However... which has put stressors on the brand.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
I've argued in previous editorials that Microsoft needs to bring its core audience along for the ride rather than leave them behind, and its hardware plans seem to be exactly doing that. I guess we're just getting more or some editorializing from Jez right here.

Let me read this last paragraph right here. It says, it seems that the next-gen Xbox consoles will be closer to Windows than ever before, reducing the amount of work developers having to commit when porting from PC. I understand that they will continue to support backwards compatibility with legacy Xbox games too, however.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
Xbox president Sarah Bond previously announced a project team specifically designed to promote backwards and forwards compatibility for existing Xbox games to that end. Xbox lead Phil Spencer has teased in previous interviews a desire to support third-party storefronts on Xbox hardware too, including platforms like the Epic Games Store, GOG, itch.io, and even Steam itself.

There's every reason to presume... AI will have a role to play next gen as well as Xbox cloud capabilities. Microsoft new controllers have a direct to cloud connectivity from what I've been told and more intelligently allow players to switch them between devices.

Well, if this thing does come out later on in the year, I do think that they serve different audiences anyway. I think maybe this would be more of a questionable decision if... Nintendo's handheld also played Steam and stuff like that. But I think that they serve different audiences. I don't really think that they interfere a whole lot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
I think if anything, it shows larger audiences that... I think if anything, it could be helpful and beneficial to them. Because it's been so long since a Switch has come out, and Switch has always been... such a insular... It only belongs in that league where it is. You could play all of the games either handheld or docked.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
And I think Nintendo switched to refreshing the world and telling everybody that, hey, this is our brand new version of this console. It's still doing the same things. I think if Xbox were to do that later on in the year and say, hey... Just like Nintendo, our thing does the same thing because I think the larger audience, Barrett, maybe looks at the handheld market as a very niche thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
I think maybe the casual audience who sees people playing, randomly playing like a Lenovo or an Asus or a Steam Deck on a plane, looks at that and is like, oh, that's just like a weird device that I've never heard of and probably never will hear of. I think Xbox putting it on the main stage and saying...

The top five EA games on Steam ranked by concurrent players are Apex Legends with 624,000, Split Fiction with 259,000, Battlefield V with 116,000, EA Sports FIFA 25, or FIFA 23, rather, with 110K. EA Sports FC 25 with 110K. Holy shit. It also bears mentioning that EA avoided Steam for a while, choosing to instead publish its own games on the PC platform, on its own PC platform.

kind of an anomaly because I think a lot of those purchases were happening in the pandemic. And you're looking at how animal crossing would have been successful regardless, but the pandemic took it to a different level. And I, you know, it takes two, I think benefited a lot from people, uh, you know, wanting to play games and hang out with their friends.

Well, Greg, before we sort of just dive deeper into this trailer, I can read from the articles that you were posting a little bit earlier if you'd like. Here we go. This is from Land Pits at GameSpot. Bella Ramsey relied on a classic meme song to get through The Last of Us Season 2's darkest scene. Story goes like this.

The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
Some of the cast and crew from The Last of Us spoke with Variety ahead of the premiere and Ramsey explaining that they get nervous before the show's big emotional scenes to get themselves in a mood that would balance out the darkness of a particular scene. They would listen to Buckwheat Boy's classic Peanut Butter Jelly Time.

I was on the floor, my eyes absolutely burning with these menthol tears, and I'm just saying peanut butter jelly. You'll probably be able to tell which one that is when you watch it, Ramsey said. I think we know, Bella. They didn't specify which scene, but given the gravity of the source material, you're not short on moments that take Ellie to her limit.

During the same interview, Druckmann told The Last of Us fans that there might not be a third game, but given the length of Part 2's story, it will take at least two seasons to tell on TV. Maybe more. And another article here from Wesley Yinpo at IGN, Caitlin Dever says it's, quote, not hard to see those things on the Internet. Oh, gosh. Here we go.

Now in an interview with Screen Rant, Dever was asked if she pays attention to the anticipation surrounding Abby's portrayal in the show. Quote, Well, it's not hard to see those things on the internet. It's hard not. It's hard not to see those things on the internet, she responded. It's hard not to stop myself from looking at it every once in a while, especially going into this for sure.

And I want to do the character justice and make the fans proud by bringing her to life in this kind of way. But my main focus was just the collaboration between Neil and Craig. Craig Mazin, the director and other showrunner, and making sure it was getting to the core of who she is and what drives her and her emotional state, her anger and her frustration and her grief and all of that.

GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Do I expect that Rockstar could get a little wacky and make games that are not the big two? Yeah, definitely. I don't know. I think we need to know more about what this studio has brought on to do. But when you bring on a studio of this caliber, it definitely feels more as a support or maybe, hey, we give them some room to remaster some of the games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
We also have a talented team with a head who used to work with L.A. Noire. As you said, maybe we do allow them some freedom and say, hey, what could you make? A smaller studio We remember when we used to get GTA, Vice City Stories and Liberty City Stories? What if we get something like that? It's still in the GTA world, I know that, but smaller condensed stories would be cooler.

Can I get real with you? Yeah, get real. I want single player campaign. Ich glaube, wir haben mit Grand Theft Auto 5 bemerkt, dass wir keine Einzelplayer-Kampagne bekommen haben. Wie ein DLC-Type. Ich würde es lieben, dass sie sich aneinander anschauen und sagen, hey, können wir das machen? Ich weiß, dass viele von ihnen online waren. Das war der Geldmacher.

Yeah, I had to battle through, because I was feeling it. Somehow survived 12 plus hours with Greg in that room. Thought I was gonna die in front of him, but I made it. You know you can go home, nobody's keeping you here. Yeah, but like the hunt called.

In reality, the problem is this team will be brought on as a support studio as of right now. We are finishing up GTA 6. That is the focus. You're probably going to be working on GTA Online. I bet you this is support studio time as of right now before we move into anything else. I'm excited for that. I want GTA Online week one to be running well.

That's true. You have Manhunt, which I've recently gone back to Manhunt. Whoa, that game. There's a line. I'm stepping over it. Wait, Manhunt steps over the line? They stepped over that line a couple times. That's a lot. Next you're going to tell me GTA is violent. It's a lot to take in. What's up with this Agent game? I've never played Agent. Do you know anything about Agent?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Let's get down to business, Bless. Let's talk about a first. To defeat the hunt? PlayStation and Sony, it's not that difficult. Just make Twisted Metal. It will be good. It will be good enough. People will celebrate it and be happy it's back. Stop fucking around with the formula. Just make Twisted Metal. Not that difficult. Point blank, period. Now back to this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Okay, this is clearly, they saw the market, they saw the trends, they know Battle Royales are hot, Fortnite third person shooting is hot. They said, we got to make Twisted Metal that way. I think we saw with Destruction All Stars, a little taste of that, if you remember that one, right? That's clearly what this was like going with. And you could see it.

And like, maybe to some people, that might be interesting to you. To me, that's interesting. Not under the Twisted Metal name. Twisted Metal ist Twisted Metal. Be honest though. This is not Twisted Metal.

Absolutely not. No. Cause Playstation is known for third person action adventure narrative driven games. Yeah. They're afraid to step outside the bubble. But when you do step outside the bubble, sometimes you find success. Astro Bot. Ist Astro Bot außerhalb der Bubble? Es könnte außerhalb der PlayStation-Bubble sein. Astro Bot ist außerhalb der Bubble von den letzten Jahren von PlayStation.

GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
That's a lie. We'll talk about that later. Well, of course, over the weekend as well, you could have been watching something. Oh. WWE Elimination Chamber, one final stop before WrestleMania. What did you think? Oh, it was fantastic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
I think you do still have to have a single player campaign on that. Okay. Like the mini campaign, right? Just dropping the levels in different cities and environments around the globe. You run around causing vehicular manslaughter, mayhem, and that's just what it is. Ich will Leute, ich will Superchats. Acht bis zwölf Levels und dann boom, wir gehen in den Multiplayer, das ist online.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Du und deine Freunde schlagen sich auf vier bis acht verschiedene offene Welt-Levels und wir gehen von da. Aber ja, ich verstehe, was du sagst. Mein Worry jetzt ist, wie das verkauft wird. Wie verkauft du es? If we had a Game Pass, you could slide that into Game Pass. You have PlayStation Plus, right? But is that enough to justify a whole development team making that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Like you said, is this just an indie-level budget here where it's kind of pennies? Or is it like, hey, we spent a lot of money on this and now it's not going to do well? I totally get it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Why can't it be a $40 thing? We sell games at $40. They've sold games at $40? I mean, Concord, yeah. How much was Helldivers? Wasn't that cheaper? No, that was $40. I feel like there's a way to make this work. And it's odd that they chose not to. They clearly were building live service games. Hey, we got this IP that's twisted metal. Ja, genau.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Das verliert auch das ganze Lieben von Twisted Metal. Wenn du aus dem Auto startest, ist es nicht mehr wirklich Twisted Metal.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
But it did... Those photos reminded me of, like, Radical Heights, that Battle Royale that came out. Wenn das nicht Twisted Metal war und du meintest, Mike, es kommt ein neues Battle Royale, wo es wie Fahrkampf ist und du aus dem Auto kommst, dann wäre ich so, okay, ich werde das probieren. Wird es sechs Monate oder ein Jahr überleben? Vielleicht nicht, aber es könnte licht werden.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Ich könnte es haben. Vielleicht schießt es Feuer. Es gibt Momente hier, wo Leute etwas Neues suchen. Und wenn du gut und groß bist, wird es funktionieren. Wir wissen auch, wenn du nur gut bist, wird es wahrscheinlich nicht funktionieren.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Das sieht nicht gut aus. Ja, es war der richtige Anruf. Du kannst sie sehen, die momentan machen, um zu steigen und zu steigen von ihrem verrückten. Wir stellen gerade zwölf Live-Service-Spiele aus, aber sie suchen diese Tentpole immer noch. and they will continue to look for it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
I know we talked about it a couple weeks ago of like, hey, they're backing down off of the live service, but you know they will continue to look for those, right? They want one to three staples that are just like live, always ongoing games. So it will happen eventually. They'll find one. I mean, do you think they'll find one? Well, they have Helldivers. Helldivers is currently strong.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Helldivers is one. It's a year later. It's still long and strong. You know what I mean? MLB The Show. MLB The Show is considered a live service game. But like, is that the one you're talking about? I mean, those are temples and staples that you want in your library, right? Yeah. So for me, those are wins. We want to build off of those and make more.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
And we want to find a couple more that will be strong in the world. Yes.

How sick was it when Randy Orton came out and just gave the RKO to everybody and they mama? Dude, the way he handshaked the dude and then gave him RKO, so fucking good. What did you think of it? I loved Elimination Chamber. I thought it was really, really good. I mean, I think that the WWE has stepped up their level of presentation. and just storytelling in the PLEs over the past couple of years.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Okay, that's fun and dumb.

You'd have to get crossover Michael transaction content. Or you would need that beforehand to justify the $70.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Well, yeah, but you can also still charge $70 and then give you more crossover content that you'll buy. You'll probably complain about it and you'll give them the eye. But there's games that do that.

Nobody's doing that for Twisted Metal. NBA 2K, I jump into the wreck every single day and I buy new Jordans. NBA 2K. I'm just letting you know. NBA 2K. I will be jumping into WWE 2K and I'll be giving them too much money.

GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
That's true. You would have to ask PlayStation fans. I am not. I'm a old school PlayStation guy. I like Twisted Metal way back in the day, but I wasn't around for Twisted Metal PS3. I think I'm sure I bought it and played it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Well, and you also have a TV show. It is a beloved IP under PlayStation franchise list, right? It's just one of those of like, will it ever come back? What's the right way? And they've never quite figured it out. That's all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Some games we gotta let go. I like that, but I think Twisted Metal has something. Twisted Metal is a game that you don't see. You don't see in the landscape of the game something like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
I would love for it to fit. You like Rocket League. Yeah. Don't you? You liked Rocket League. You like Forza Horizon, don't you? Well, Forza Horizon is a different thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Rocket League, that's why I feel like we lose and we start to, well, yeah, I guess indie developers are different, you never know.

GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
This I liked. You could have slapped Twisted Metal on this and just made the iconic cars that we all know. Grasshopper, Axel, the guy in between the two wheels. I probably would have accepted this as a Twisted Metal game to be real with you.

The way it's selling, it sounds like, at least on Steam, you would think that the console market is probably just right up there with them, with all these players.

I can't stop thinking about Magic the Gathering Commander. I've been thinking about using a new deck. Ich möchte nicht sagen, dass ich meinen Deck gestartet habe, aber ich habe darüber gelernt. Jetzt kenne ich die Mechaniken und bin bereit, etwas Neues in meine Leben zu geben. Also kam mein Freund Kevin A. Sachs zu mir. Ich und er gingen auf die Spelltabelle. Wir sahen, was die Spelltabelle ist.

Also, wenn du nicht weißt, dass die Spelltabelle dir ermöglicht, Magic the Gathering mit Freunden weltweit zu spielen, weil du einfach einsteigen kannst. Du nutzt deine Kamera, dein Mikrofon und spielst damit. Und so ist jeder auf deinem Bildschirm, auf deinem Computer. Das ist verrückt. Das ist verrückt. Damn. You live in the future. That's crazy that people are doing that.

Dude, and so we set it up. It was super easy. I put out the code. Shout out to Gary III. Thank you to Jose Ruckus. And then we even got a random. A random joined and he was awesome. This kid named Izzy was a blast. He had a commander. He had Dogmeat the Commander. Oh dude, that goes so hard. Ich glaube, er hat... Es ist alles Equipment, oder? Ja, ja. Also er hat Equipment aufgenommen.

GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Yeah, we had to handle that. So it was a lot of fun. It was a great, great time. Really liked what Spell Table was bringing to it. Where I could just keep playing. And I'm ready to add a new commander under my belt. Dude, you know I brought my magic cards today.

Da ging es um, wie lange es dauern sollte. Es sollte nicht ein 5-Minuten-Kai-Sedat-Batman-Trailer sein. Es sollte nur 15 Sekunden dauern. Ich dachte, es wäre eine Minute lang. Nein, wir haben nicht so viel Zeit. Wir können kein 5-Minuten-Video machen. Ich liebe dieses Merchandise.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
On this, what do you even call this? Windbreaker is what I would call that. I believe they have a special word like, it starts with an A. I bought a couple of them from 100 Thieves. Okay. Yeah. It's like Ragnarok, but with an A. Anorak. Anorak. Yep. Yep. That's it. Alright. There you go. That's very exciting. It's a windbreaker. Let's just call it a windbreaker. It's a windbreaker.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
It's fucking easier that way. It's a windbreaker.

Ich habe einen Trip.

GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
And so if y'all get me sick and I waste those points, I'll be mad. Well, I can tell you I'm back, okay? I'm happy to announce to the whole world, I am back and I feel so much better. But you know, I had to battle through a marathon stream with Greg, which, thank you to everybody who tuned in, the Monster Hunter marathon stream was great. I had to battle through it. Battle through, I see.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Yeah, we didn't get really much detail from that, but to me that means, you know, hopefully job security. Hopefully it brings on a new team to help, whether it be supporting, you know, GTA and what they're going to do with that franchise and maybe Red Dead in the future, Grand Theft Auto Online, Red Dead Online, or maybe it's maybe some more remakes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Love to see, go into the catalog and get a little bit deeper on some of those remakes that I think we all know and love and want to see more of. But hopefully for me it's like, hey, that's a great new team coming to join your squad and you use them the right way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Yes, I think a lot of the shooter audience, the shooter genre, is always about speaking with the community, hearing your community, and trying to adjust for your community. And a lot of the player base always says, hey, you're not listening to us. Let us get involved earlier. Let us help you set the tone on what the players actually want.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
And I do like hearing that they want to create battlefield labs. They want to get out there early, right? This whole four-minute package is a bunch of hype. It's a bunch of, hey, we're coming back. We're bringing it. We're giving you the things you want to do. But there's a couple things that really stood out to me. Vince Sampella on the track. I appreciate Vince coming out and helping this team.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
That's big. I really, really love single player. You talk about the package of Battlefield. What is Battlefield in the future? We talk about chasing trends of, of course, BRs, of course, of the extraction shooters. I thought before I watched this, well, what is... Battlefield are going to do again? Are they going to try to chase one of these?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
No, give me the single player mixed with just the traditional Battlefield multiplayer. That's a win in my books. And so that gets me really excited. And then, of course, the brief just piece of gameplay looks like Battlefield of old. I know we always used the term boots on the ground, but you don't really see a lot of zip lining, no squirrel shoots flying.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
It just felt like, hey, here was just Battlefield 3 and 4. This is what you knew us for. Let's get back to that. And I'm excited for that. This destruction is insane. Everything is blowing up. Look at that whole building going up. And then, of course, you know, the four talented teams, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
You're trying to create the Avengers of your studios to make the best Battlefield because we know that Battlefield 2049 did not come out strong. It had a very rocky launch. There was something good at its core. Yeah. But it wasn't good enough for that first impression to last and pull people away from Halo Infinite at the time, Call of Duty, Fortnite, Apex, all these other games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
And so it takes a lot to move that mountain, as you know, Bless. And so I'm excited to see all these four teams come together and try to make Battlefield what it once was and make it really, really good.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
I don't think so, Tim. I think, you know, you look at EA and you look at that portfolio, you look at the teams there and you look at like what they need, what they want, what they want to go after. And you look at an IP like Battlefield and it's not like we were going to drop that after 2049. We just probably needed to get the right people involved.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
And I think getting Vince at the head of it and probably allowing him to be like, hey, what are the teams you need? How do we best make this happen? And him to go, well, maybe I need four teams around the globe that can all be working on this. Yeah. I think that's the right move. It's just too important of an IP to lose and come out wrong again, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Like, Battlefield, you can't mess this up one more time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Of course, of course.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
yeah here's the thing for me is like when i think of that you bring up battlefield one right like there was a moment where battlefield was getting caught behind the times with the changing tides of what the shooter genre is and now is right and i think battlefield just wasn't able to correct that but battlefield brings something that most shooting games don't and we've seen that really call of duty is the only one that stood the test of time with that premium price tag right no one else is
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
charging $70 still for their price tags but they are also one of the few that's bringing you the full package battlefields can do that as well and we've seen a yearn from players that want to get off the hamster wheel of just the fortnights the battle royales the extraction shooters they want that team arena shooter like we saw people wanted concord but they didn't want it to win of course but we saw they wanted something different they look at games like frag punk out there
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
They look at games, and they go, oh, I would like to get away from what I'm just doing. Bring me something new. But I think the single player is the big one here, right? Bring us a good single player that people can rally behind. Mix with that battlefield. You're known for just giant maps. You're known for the team play that not other games have, right? Nobody's bringing in 32v32, 64v64.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
in the landscape that you're looking at right now so i think they have something unique here and you have to nail it that's why you have to bring four teams and make this perfect it's a big uphill battle that's why you get the community involved earlier but they have everything right to make that happen right and so will it hit expectations tim no they will have a lofty expectation that it probably won't hit unless it's really really great but we saw halo had its time
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
went by real quick right call of duty is on an annualized cycle that's why call of duty is always so great is i truly believe that call of duty has figured out the yearly cycle of you play it you have the honeymoon phase you're into the next three to six months of hey this is fine i'm just kind of going through the motions okay give me something new they hit you with it right no other game is doing that nobody has that many teams to be able to do that battlefield is probably going to give you like a two to three year cycle
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
So that means they have to nail the honeymoon period. They have to give you add-on content that we know a lot of the audience is going to drop off on. But as long as you can hold it, you can come back again. But I think that single player is where they're going to try to really bring themselves to another level.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
you know motive or criterion or i would push back on you and say how important is need for speed how big is need for speed maybe not important i mean but like when you talk about hitting your metrics really making a splash in something is need for speed right now in 2025 doing that no hasn't been doing that the past six years right and so i would look at that team and be like it's clearly not working the audience isn't screaming hey i need need for speed anymore
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
This is something that we believe in. You have to come over and help this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Battlefield is the one. We all know it's not. That's the problem.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Okay, yes. We all know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Let's just be real. No. I mean, there's a landscape here that you could hit. The issue is, is like, will this break the mold? What is that one? We've talked about it for years now. What is the game that gets people away from Fortnite and gets people away from these games that they're just entrenched in? And nothing has done that yet.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
They want more Battle Royales. They want more extraction. They want Fortnite updates.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
That's the issue is it just feels like it's going to be a halo situation all over again, but it has the single player is a big deal. Having that full fledged product that we, we used to know is a big deal to, I think all the generations here. Now you look at the younger generations that are making up a lot of the gaming hours that are that active player base.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
And I don't know if they're screaming for this, but maybe if they get a taste of what battlefield really is, that could be it. Right. But it'll be interesting to see. I'm excited. I am excited.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
interested of like why they didn't pull the shot and just do titanfall like why does this ea team so hands off of like we don't want to do this if you're assembling the avengers team to make the ultimate shooter just make titanfall with vince like what what are we doing here i mean it's the name recognition right like that's the thing i worry about with this decision is
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Seeing that gameplay though, gets me pretty hyped. I mean, it looks great. I mean, it has my favorite gaming word in the world. And I want to see levolution, man. I want to see destructible environments. I want to see only in battlefield moments. I want to see that levolution of, Hey, somebody did X, Y, and Z to these computers. And now a rocket ship is fucking flying off to the moon.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
And now the rest of the level is all in disaster. Like, That's what Battlefield brings, and it can be very exciting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Call of Duty already deals with a lot of problems. They're not going to deal with more problems.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
They streamlined it. They're not going to fuck it up now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
You fucking make it. You make these beaver creaks, you fuckers. No, no. You're not allowed to say that. You're not allowed to say that. Just so you know, there's always a look to forge created maps. There's a difference. There's the real created maps and then there's forge created maps. And as much as you want to say, oh, Mike, they're really great and they're awesome.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I always turn to Andy Cortez and of course Digital Foundry for the vision and the know about, hey, what should I be looking for? Is this running the way it should be optimized in the way that I as the consumer want it? I think as a consumer, you should be mindful, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Monster Hunter Wilds DOMINATES Steam Charts Despite PC Issues - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.28.25
If it's not running up to snuff, if it's going to give you poor performance and you're going to question your 60 to 70 dollar purchase an hour to two hours in, you should definitely be mindful of this kind of stuff. Because, yeah, I want this game to be optimized. There's Vielen Dank. 20, 20 80 and still trying to put together with super glue and duct tape, you know? So, yeah, I don't know.

I mean, out of the 1.3, how big of a piece of pie is having issues, right? If you were to break down that 1.3 million, that is on Steam right there. So that's PC players. What portion of the percentage of players is having issues on this? How big is that? And you also, you know, thankfully with Steam, you can refund the game. You can wait for it to be in a better state and then jump back in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Monster Hunter Wilds DOMINATES Steam Charts Despite PC Issues - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.28.25
It's day one. Everybody's feeling that FOMO. They want to come in. So you're going to jump in. If it doesn't run well, now you get put up with the question of, You can refund this and stop right now. You can push through and just keep playing. Of course, you're going to wait until it gets patched. Now the question is, how fast can the development team get on this, right?

They're going to work all through the weekend to make sure it's ready to rock and roll for you. I expect this to probably be fixed by Monday within the week, you would think. You'd hope so. This is a big deal, yeah.

I'd like to learn more about what you're feeling with that. I guess when you go into those really nice cutscenes, it looks beautiful and looks incredible. When I'm playing in the game, it looks exactly how I want it to look.

Monster Hunter Wilds DOMINATES Steam Charts Despite PC Issues - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.28.25
Open your heart, Barrett. I love it. I got two things. Okay, one. I'll get real on the second one. Number one. Will this be worse than the Borderlands movie? Weil der Borderlands-Film war schlecht. Und du weißt, ich sage nicht immer schlechte Dinge. Das war schlecht. Okay. Ich denke nicht, dass es das wird. Ich denke, dass das tatsächlich lustig und gut wird. Viel besser als der Borderlands-Film.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Monster Hunter Wilds DOMINATES Steam Charts Despite PC Issues - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.28.25
Lustig und gut. Aber hier ist Nummer zwei, richtig? Lustig und gut. Wir haben über Mario gesprochen und wie groß der Mario-Film war, richtig? Ich denke nicht, dass das Mario-Levels von gut plus groß werden. Mhm. But will it be big like the Mario movie? I think it will get up towards the Mario movie levels of big watching-wise.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Monster Hunter Wilds DOMINATES Steam Charts Despite PC Issues - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.28.25
I don't think people will love it as much as the Mario movies of how great that was. It actually is good quality content. But I think there will be a lot of people going to this movie. I guess. Put yourself in a kid's shoes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Monster Hunter Wilds DOMINATES Steam Charts Despite PC Issues - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.28.25
Okay. Yeah, it's just a big IP, a big name, right? Yeah. There are misses when you do that, of course. Will this miss? I don't know. I think most people think it's probably going to miss. The question is, will it resonate with the kids? Five Nights at Freddy's resonated with a lot of people somehow. And I didn't think that movie was all that good, right? Yeah. And so here we got Minecraft.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Monster Hunter Wilds DOMINATES Steam Charts Despite PC Issues - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.28.25
This is going to do well. That was exactly on the level like that. I think it's going to do very, very well. Probably for adults, you won't care. But I think for the kids, I think this is going to hit. You're probably right. It's got Jack Black. Jack Black makes fun kids movies. He does. Remember School of Rock?

Okay. Yeah, I agree with you on multi-plat, right? When I read that, I do expect more than 1.5 million on a BioWare big RPG that should be hitting. It's been, what, eight years, almost a decade since the last one. People want this. They want to see what that talented team can do, and it just –
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
didn't hit it didn't seem to catch fire and like you said tim the gaming market is all over the place i mean we are in a stage where people are not getting off fortnight call of duty war zone they're playing games from 12 years ago that they just love and want to be a part of they're watching streamers play games and they're following those trends to play roblox now it's like it's a very interesting stage where when you have a talented team like bioware

Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
putting out Dragon Age, a beloved franchise before, and now it just doesn't hit. That makes you scared of, uh-oh, are we on the right path here? And that also leads my mind to, that's why we see Sony do live service games and think that's the way, because you see a single-player game like this that you would bet on is probably going to hit, and then all of a sudden doesn't.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25

Mm-hmm. Super violent. Looks fun. Shows its age just a little bit in certain gameplay moments where you don't have the lock-on and the camera gets a little wonky.

Oh, man. Let's jump into some super chats. Of course, don't forget, you can super chat with your thoughts and opinions throughout today's show anytime over on YouTube. And we'll get you involved in the conversation like, bam, 25 says, I feel the 3 million sales was a pretty reasonable goal being on three different platforms. These sales goals for Dragon Age doesn't feel like a square thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Like you said before, Tim, being multi-plat, I think that goal should have been achievable there. And then EJ writes in and says, as a longtime Dragon 8s fan, I 100%ed Bailguard, and I was incredibly disappointed with it. Lacking connection to the past games and the writing quality, the low sales doesn't surprise me. So there you go. A big fan who played a lot of it isn't surprised by that at all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Let's talk about FIFA though. Let's talk about it. That's a big one there, Tim. Of course, FIFA FC 25 slowing down during the Christmas period. When you think that would pick up a big live service game, their yearly annual title that is, you know, really boosted by, by this analyst saying 8 million, 800 million is made up by the ultimate team sales.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Yeah, that difficult.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
I don't think the title change changed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Yeah. I would be truly surprised if someone looked at all of us and was like, FC actually changed the sales numbers, and people didn't buy it as often as FIFA did because they got confused or something. No, I don't think that at all. I think with the way the world is, they know exactly what FC25 was, which is FIFA. I think it is the ultimate team of burning people out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
I think every single year that you come out with the same thing, people eventually will slow down. There's no world cup happening right now. The Olympics drive a lot of that as well. Also just the day to day of, is this exciting? And I think, will we see in the next five years to slow down of these card games, like ultimate team in NBA, in FIFA, this might be a sign of the times that it could be.

Well, we know that it's still a juggernaut, right? It's still up on the top 10, top 15 sales charts every single year at the end of the year. And somebody wrote an FC. They changed the name last year, so two years now. But still, it's still selling. It's still up there. It's just, how do you get innovative with Ultimate Team now? I think it's the really big one for a lot of people.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
We've seen the same game modes all the time. How do you go a little bit deeper into justifying why I need to buy these cards? Because it is tough. You know, every single year, it's the same cycle, right? You jump on the new game, you buy cards to make the Ultimate Team of 11 to 19 players on your roster, and then you play. And then you do it all over again.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
And then every single year, it gets all erased. You go to the next one, right? So what do you do to get that exciting and innovate on that? EA has to figure that out. But I mean, will it bounce back, Tim? Do we see EA now bouncing back?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
It's still the best sports. It's still the best soccer sim in the world.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
It's tough. But then there's Respawn. I don't want to forget about Respawn. Tim, I could go down the list, right? You have the Sims, right? People get excited when they see the Sims pop up. They have Respawn with knowing that a Star Wars game is around the corner or anything that talented team could do. That gets you excited, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Just to jump in with Zany loop before we go says EA did not give sales data and only mentioned 1.5 engaged players, which probably includes the EA subscription players. Quote coming from Forbes, Dragon Age engaged approximately 1.5 players during the quarter, down nearly 50% from the company's expectations, end quotes from Forbes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
So it might not even be sales as well, Tim, including, of course, subscription services as well.

Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Does not make anything better. That's right. You know that. Tim, let's head to story number two. There's a couple other super shots about this I think I saw. Skate 4? Yeah. Joey Radstone says Skate 4 needs to be a big hit for EA. It does, and it won't be. Tim, I have major concerns about Skate 4. Being a live service, early access title that's going to grow with you.

Like, it was that level of game for Xbox. Well, yeah, I remember you, boy. I'm like, Mike, living under a rock. I wasn't reading any magazines back then. You know what I mean? We were just gaming. Whatever game we got, we were just gaming, bro. That's all I can tell you, Tim. I love you so much. And so, yeah, I'm very excited about it. Of course, watching Bless play was awesome.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Yeah, Tim, I'm impressed by the PS5 sales. We know it's had a strong start. I think everyone out there wants a PS5. They know they're getting great exclusives from there. Xbox now showing their hand that you're probably going to get a lot of Xbox first party titles now over on that ecosystem. So it seems like the place to be. I do think we will see a rise in PC sales here very, very soon.

One day I'll get my hands on the sticks. Did you jump in at all and try it? No, not yet.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
I think that's going to be the new wave of everyone just wants a, you know, beefy gaming PC. I think that's what the kids will be asking for from this point forward. I highly doubt that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
I get that. I think you do see a lot of affordability in the PC market now that are comparable to what you're buying on a PlayStation 5 at this time, right? Just maybe a couple hundred dollars more, you can get a PC that would play the exact same games and be just fine for a kid that's 13 years old.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
What I'm getting at is you're seeing a generation of kids now growing up off of iPads and iPhones from their parents and now are looking at a world of... people online only talking about their PC, they're streaming on their PC, their favorite people, their content creators, the TV they're watching is PC, PC, PC.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
And I think that's what we're going to see a lot more of is the switch move towards that. I think PS5 and into PS6 will still be strong, but I do think we will see a strong rise in this moving forward.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
But we'll see. Now looking at Xbox series lagging behind Xbox one. you're not surprised by that. I mean, why would I be? I'm a little surprised by that because the new marketing has pushed everything as an Xbox, but that wasn't the wording when we first went to this is the most powerful console ever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
You need to jump on the Xbox Series X and S. Now, of course, we heard Phil Spencer during the interview say, hey, we lost the most important generation, but at the same time, Tim, if we rewound what four years ago when this was coming out, I would have expected this to hopefully get bigger than the Xbox One.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
We're gaming, baby. We're having good times. We are gaming, Tim. Does it matter? It's right. Now, a lot of people are bringing up the Halo 3 Hayabusa armor. Yeah. This doesn't have anything to do with each other, do they? It does. Stop it. Yeah. That's crazy, Tim. Now, Mike, can I blow your mind even more? Tim, this is me learning for the first time. Have you ever played Dead or Alive?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
We also had two SKUs. The goal was to try to get you to have a second console, the more approachable Xbox Series S. I am surprised it just did not go the way that they thought there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Now PlayStation is still playing that game. Paris, you know you can always jump in if you want to talk this. But yeah, I'm surprised that it's lagging behind Xbox One. I thought they would have had a better boost. But it is telling, like Phil Spencer said. We started to buy games digitally on that PlayStation 4, Xbox One era. Everybody was over there. They weren't going to jump ship.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
I mean, you put out an Xbox Series S. I thought that would have gotten into more homes than we would have expected. Now we move towards, hey, everything's an Xbox. There's possibly a handheld console sales. Aren't our end-all, be-all goal here. We want to be a publisher that can put games anywhere. That's the new goal. I believe in that. I see that right from them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
And so that's the new route they want to go with.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Mortal Kombat 1's big Conan the Barbarian update launched this week, and with it came the arrival of a secret fight with Floyd, the pink ninja developed by Ed Boon, and Ed Boon had been teasing for years. Not only that, but if you defeat Floyd, you unlock cool exclusive rewards, including the coveted new stage. But how exactly do you trigger the secret Floyd fight?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Players are working together to try to crowdsource the answer. This community effort, led by Mortal Kombat modder and data miner, The Thinny, has done much to unravel the mystery, but the exact process remains unknown. Here's what fans have worked out. A number of Floyd challenges must be completed before the fight with Floyd triggers. How many? No one knows.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Which challenges must be completed and in which order? Tim, no one knows that either. Worse, it appears different for each player. That's not much help, is it? It appears to be the case that you don't have to complete all 37 Floyd challenges to fight Floyd. It appears to be the case that players have different quote active and quote challenges. So there isn't a single process fans can rely upon.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
It's all a bit confusing, but the best advice right now is to do as many of these challenges as you can. And eventually, hopefully you'll fight Floyd. What is clear is that the Floyd fight has breathed new air into Mortal Kombat 1. The new stage, the field seen in Mortal Kombat 1's announcement trailer is gorgeous. So the reward is worth all the effort.

And Floyd himself is sparking a deeper dive as monitors try to work out the details of the moveset, which characters from the Mortal Kombat games have inspired in it.

Thank you, Tim, for reading those year wrongs. We have three final Super Chats we'll blaze through. Krogan writes in and says, Honest question, is Xbox's approach to Game Pass and everything is an Xbox the beginning of the end of the current era of gaming for the worse? Um, Sorry, can you say that again? Yeah, very interesting one here. Honest question.

Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Is Xbox's approach to Game Pass and everything isn't Xbox the beginning of the end of the current era of gaming for the worse?

Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Love that. Pogwen writes in another time. I personally worry that Game Pass will force a direction in gaming that will force other companies to comply or die with the focus on subs. Will Game Pass do what Netflix slash Prime did to movies? Tim, you were just talking about Game Pass. With that, yeah, do you see the future of, like, forcing the hand of Sony, Nintendo?

Final one, Dasher writes in and says, this is why it makes no sense for PlayStation to release on Xbox. You basically give Xbox the ability to have Game Pass for amazing value and have PlayStation games release on Xbox. Gamers will buy an Xbox or invest in that ecosystem.

Story number one, EA lost $6 billion in market value following FC25 and Dragon Age underperformance. This news coming from Andy Robinson at VGC. Electronic Arts shares declined more... declined by more than 16% this week and $6 billion in market value following its pre-earnings announcement that EA, FC25, and Dragon Age The Veil Guard had failed to meet its expectations.

Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
On Wednesday, EA warned the market that it would now expect a decline in its live service revenue for its current fiscal year after previously forecasting growth. Primarily, the decline was attributed to an FC25 slowdown during the Christmas period.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
In addition, EA said that Bioware RPG, Dragon Age The Veil Guard, released in October, had missed its expectations by around 50%, with 1.5 million players reached. By Thursday, the publisher had lost $6 billion from its market value of $37.3 billion. Following the pre-earnings news, EAFC generates around $2 billion annually.

Reuters reports that around $800 million of that is made up by Ultimate Team. Quote, Ultimate Team has come to be viewed as a near Swiss clock of interactive media bookings growth. If it's stagnant, it puts enormous pressure on EA to fill the void. End quote. Says Monif Nathanson, analyst. Oh, boy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Yeah, Tim, this is tough for EA, who really relies on that microtransaction money from, of course, FC25 and a number of their other titles. But I want to start off with Dragon Age. Not meeting expectations around 50%. So they sold 1.5 million copies, we expect, with players. But missing that by 50%, they were thinking 3 million they were going to hit. And they didn't hit that target at all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
And this was a game that had a tough... This was tough. This was hard to watch. A game that I liked. I thought it was a good game to a great game. And there was just so much from social media to then finally getting it to the finish line. I don't know where that didn't hit. I thought that was going to be a mega hit.

We didn't get to talk about the themes, Roger.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
Okay. I like that. What do you think about that? Uh, do we know who the development team is? Of course, like for me, right? I think this is a great tone setter watching this trailer. They really set gives you the tone, the setting, what you're going to see, right? The beauty that you can kind of expect. I know a lot of people in the live audience is like, Hey, show us gameplay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
That's what we really want to see. And of course, we're not there yet. But I think what I have experienced through Silent Hill 2 remake with Bloober team, right? That's a team that made the medium. And I wasn't really fully onto that one, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
But what they showed with the tech side of things for Silent Hill, using that IP and that kind of story to go forward, I'm all in right now on this franchise. So I'm willing to give this a try. I'm hoping that it hits. By watching that, it seems like it will. But of course, gameplay will finally be the final key.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
We also have, we're going to the Day of the Devs on Sunday. You know, I tell you this every single year. My favorite thing to go to each and every year is Day of the Devs. I love what Tim Schafer and the team over there put on. I love the vibe. I love the family friendly. Everyone gathering in San Francisco to go and celebrate games, celebrate the community. It is awesome.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
I'm really excited as well, Roger, to go over to Japan and get to see that and the culture there. As someone who's not a big horror guy, I got nice little teases of that playing Ghostwire Tokyo. I really liked the side missions where they spoke about the urban legends of Japan. So I'm excited to see, hey, how do they adapt this? What kind of cool monsters will we see? What's the lore implications?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
I want to learn about the culture. I want to see the scary stuff over there because I'm not really one that looks at horror games in general or horror movies and wants to see anything, but once I dip my toe in, I'm ready to see some more.

of you thinking your friends are betraying you, but they really love you, and they don't see your side, you don't see their side. There's something there. There's going to be something there. I like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
I'm excited about the friendship stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
What do you think? I like everything that you're putting down. I appreciate JG in the YouTube live chatter says it's a matter of when, not if Roger. And I totally agree with that statement there. I think you ride the back of the successes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
You start to game plan and look at the future and you have these classic IPs that are so beloved and maybe, yeah, you're a little afraid to touch one of them, but maybe it is time to turn on that one and say, Hey, let's get some talented people in there. Let's see if we can bring this back to life. Cause there's an audience that wants that title, that name back. Right. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
Sure, the guy might not be there anymore, but that game, that franchise, that world still is beloved, and people want to be back in there. And, you know, we love money, Roger. We love money. Nothing's easier than just cashing in on people's nostalgia and the same old IP. So I think that's the right way to do that.

Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
Let's talk about some YouTube super chats because there's some people excited for Silent Hill F. George writes in and says, with Bloober Team involved for likely another Silent Hill entry, where should it go after Silent Hill F? Should they remake one or three or another new entry? What would be the best for Silent Hill, Roger?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
Yeah. As someone who didn't love the medium, I really loved what they did using the Silent Hill franchise and just jumping into that and really elevating that remake. So I'm in on Bloober team doing something. If it's their own thing, I'll give them another chance. But after the medium, I wasn't on board anymore. So they've earned it back for me. And I'm like, hey, that's a talented team.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
Let's see what they do. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
Well, people want to talk about Konami and more, so let's keep it going really quick. Kuma writes in and says, story-wise, Silent Hill 1 and 3 are connected. 2 and 4 are standalone. So if you got Bloober Team back to maybe continue the remake stuff, you could bring back 1 and get the fans back on board for that. Roll into 3 if that's a connected universe right there on that. So that's pretty cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
Let's keep it going. Average John says, we must spread the Silent Hill fandom at Kind of Funny. Blessing Andy, Nick, everyone. All prime subjects. Let's get them on to remake right now. There are prime subjects for this. Really? They need to watch this. They need to play the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
Another one right here coming in from Brian here says, do you think Konami has enough goodwill in the gaming community for a comeback after they've spent so long chasing blockchain and pachinko machines? That's a great question.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
As someone who has grew up around the casino environment world, I've seen a lot of bad slot machines tied to your favorite franchises, so I can imagine it, Roger. I probably know what it looks like, I'm sure, in my mind.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
Yeah. I think the big thing we always talk about, right? This is insane. The average gamer just wants good and great games, right? I don't think they really... A lot of them will recognize some of the names, some of their favorite developers, but a lot of them just want great games. They don't care who's making it. They just say, oh my God, Castlevania's back. Exactly. I like that game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
This is a title that my friends talked about. Oh, this is a game I'm willing to try because I saw a dope trailer. People just want great games. So if you can make great games, they're going to come to it no matter what the team is. Of course, YouTube super chats have blown up my computer one second.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
We have one more. Someone that wants to point us towards the special anime to watch because there's a couple seasons of anime. If you want a good vibe, check with what's coming at you. Clawmaster comes in and says, I have to implore everyone who wants to play Silent Hill F to watch the anime. Hi...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
Where's that game? Let me show you what the reality looks like, Roger. Here's the van you can jump in. It's Rainbow Six Siege. It's Assassin's Creed. It's Far Cry. Everything else, cut. Focus on the now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25

Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
This beloved team from back in the day, in the early days of my gaming, right, that was built off of Assassin's Creed and more, where it's like, I loved all of those titles. I love the Far Cry franchise. I love what they did with Tom Clancy and all of those games, right? Talk about Rainbow Six Vegas back in the day. I love that. Advanced Warfighter, Graw, I loved all of that stuff, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
And to kind of see what has happened with this, I think this will make for one of the best video game docs of all time. If we can pull back... the curtain and just see the years and the decades of this family trying to hold on to what they got, then letting some of it go, then trying to hold off a hostile takeover, but maybe they're making all the wrong decisions.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
It is so perfect. The part that I get stuck at is there are so many people that work on the games that I love in this company that I feel let down for. This sucks that the people up at top have no idea what to do. They're lost. They have no control. They're not making the right decisions. And it's all going to just blow up one day. This is not going to happen and go well no matter what goes on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
And it's unfortunate. I don't know, Roger. I'm a mixed bag when I read all of this and go, well, it's just not going the right way here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
You know, their track record is right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
We continue to go to forks in the road and we've seen the decisions in the past of the fork and which way they've gone. We had another one here where you, you kind of just go, man, I'd like to just let go of the wheel and just say, just take it over. This is, we're done now, but let's see what happens here, Roger. It'll be interesting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
let's talk about a beloved Ubisoft franchise really quick because Dan brand TV writes in and says with far cry being Ubisoft, the Ubisoft game, everyone mentions three, four, and five, but far cry primal needed more love. It's the best in the series. In my opinion, need more games like primal for sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
Give me what you want. I like Splinter Cell. I want Splinter Cell. Playing all the Hitman games right now, it's hard to believe that we live in a world where Hitman is so good right now that you couldn't make a great spy espionage game in Splinter Cell. We're not looking around going, man, this game, Hitman, people love it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
I like Assassin's Creed. I love Assassin's Creed. I've been on the ride since the beginning with that. I love the Far Cry games. I love the Ubisoft open-world formula that they can get lost in sometimes. I really love what they've done with Rainbow Six Siege, right? They have found a market. They've absolutely crushed the tactical first-person shooter game of Search and Destroy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
They've gone above and beyond with that. We just got off of the hot heels of the big blowout preview of Siege X, which will be like the next...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
I'll change that to the next story but your boy Mike I've always wanted one thing Roger I just want to go to Far Cry but I want to make it Jurassic Park and now people will say Primal but I mean like I want to team up with Jurassic Park and I want to make a Far Cry Jurassic Park game I've said it many of times that's what it has to be You're a lone security guard.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25

I played Siege way back in the day. I've loved that Siege has stood the test of time. I'm so interested in really the past, you know, maybe three years, but really the past probably two years to a year that it has really caught fire with a younger audience that wants to get involved.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
I think that, of course, really leads into the world of streaming that we're currently in, your favorite content creators playing Siege and kind of putting that on the map and in full display. But really,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
I'm impressed that when we talk about Ubisoft and all of the bad decisions that they've made and we kind of shake our head at, that this game has been the one to stand the test of time and really go a long distance in a tough live service market, first-person shooter genre that has a lot of competition. But somehow, this has been the one. Because it's unique, right? Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
I mean, it's search and destroy. You have Counter-Strike in there. You have Valorant. But this was one of those that really made its own on the console side of things. It is different, right? Destructible environments, small areas, right? New agents and operators every time. They all have their own unique abilities.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
it's been impressive to see that Ubisoft out of all the bad things that they've done and all the misses, they have a massive win here and somehow it's just kept going. And now we look at the future, right? This is one of those of, Hey, the game's been out six years, 10 years, eight years, right? You have these games that are, kind of still going, and you have to look and go, how do we revamp?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
Thanks for putting that on my radar, Roger. I'm going to play that. Can I give you something that's not relaxing? Okay. The opposite of relaxing. Yeah, let me know. Half-Life 2, the opening to Half-Life 2. I know all about it. The most stressful, high-octane, high-intensity moment I've ever had. Yeah. There I was. I finished Half-Life 1. Me and Gordon Freeman, we signed a deal. Okay?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
How do we get more of an audience to jump into this? What needs to happen here? And so you look at a game like this, adding a new mode, right? 6v6, and it's different. It's not search and destroy. It's take over the areas, push your team back and forth.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
They've had limited time modes before like that, right? But this is now one of those... This is like a staple. Well, I think that I don't... This will be here for quite some time. I think they did say it's going to be like more of a stable mode, not a limited time mode, right? But this is one of those of like, does the audience really buy into that? Do they love this?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25

You have to do that. Roger. I mean, this game is old, right? So you have to kind of keep elevating that. You have to work on the audio design. You have to keep those players satisfied. You have to keep your Rainbow Six Esports League going on, right? There's this blend here that keeps it in the zeitgeist, and they seem to somehow have kept that going. So it's an impressive feat to do.

I love when games hit you like that, Kevin. I'm very similar to that, Kevin, where the moment it feels right and you just want to do everything before even progressing, it's wild that you have a situation like that where it's like, oh, I did all that before the second mission. It's like, good for you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
It's unfortunate. Yeah, I've never really completed this and pushed through. I have fallen off on the love for open world games. I'm very hot and cold on some of them. And so sometimes I'm all about the open world. When it came to Ghost, I just was not in the mood for that. I did play the multiplayer in that. Oh, interesting. So you played the multiplayer. You didn't play the main game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Silent Hill f: New Game Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.14.25
Yeah, well, I played a little bit of the main game, but I found myself going to the multiplayer with my buddies and playing that a little bit more than I played the main game. But I didn't give this game enough love, so maybe one day I'll go back. But yeah, this unfortunately fell on the timing of I'm not in the mood.

I am jealous too. I made a great connection with Adam and I love sharing stories and just hearing all of his incredible stories. So I'm excited to have him in the building.

None of that applies here. It is your foot is on the pedal and you need to be moving. There was many times where I'd be playing with someone and one person will stop to start reading their gear, which is great. You have opportunities to kind of like organize your stuff and rearrange your weapons. But again, You need to be moving.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
And so the other person would just start running as fast as they could. And it's like, okay, well, you're going to get left behind. And like, we're going to go here, which now puts us at a disadvantage. We're going to die. You're going to be back there. Now we're under leveled. And it's just this drive of mayhem that makes chaotic fun that you don't experience in this kind of game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

And it's awesome. I really loved it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
Yes, the gameplay at its core very much still feels like Elden Ring. Maybe cranked up just a little bit on the speed side of things because you are rushing a lot of these fights. There isn't much time of like settle in, figure out their move sets, try to perfect parry or nail that perfect dodge. It is very much of like, you see those guys, you rush right into battle. We bang into them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
We keep it moving, which is really cool. But like the no torrent is no big deal. Cause you now have a double sprint where you are moving as fast as torrents. Torrance big jump that will get you upside of cliff sides. They have that with some sort of geyser that you can jump and fly three stories up and then glide around.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
So they have all the movement that you would need to keep the pace moving while also still matching what you would see in Elden Ring and what you would know about.

No chai. I took a nice, beautiful morning walk. And Tim, let me tell you one. Just a little quick off one for you. Come on. Isn't it the best? Isn't it the best to make someone smile? How easy is it to make somebody smile? There's me on the trail walking. I lock eyes with this gentleman. He's walking his dog. I take a step to the side, give them space. He looks at me.

I smile and say, good morning, my man. Happy Friday. He's laughing. The dog doing its thing. Then we come back. Right. I'm in the parking lot. Does this jabroni have the same forerunner as I do? Of course. Does he look at me? I look at him. I go, oh, snap. Now I'm into this conversation. We're talking about his wife. We're talking about his kids. We're talking about Valentine's Day.

I'm just looking at him smiling like, man, the world is so great. You know what I mean? There's a lot of beauty in this world. There's a lot of bad chat, I understand. But man, to make someone smile and how easy it is, it's just so much fun. And it feels rewarding. So please go do that. It was an awesome feeling. So I'm feeling great, Tim. Good. I'm feeling great. Good. What am I supposed to do?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
I do have a couple small critiques. Yeah, that's what I was going to get to. What do you not like so far about your experience? So right now, the only thing that I truly don't like right now personally is the mage build. You have four possible builds that you play. It is very different from your normal Dark Souls where you kind of mix and match your own stats and you go your own way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Sam, I don't know if you know, but of course, last night with the 28th annual Dice Awards, one Greg Miller hosted for his ninth time in a row. Shout out to Stella, who did a fantastic job as well in the game. Both of them. The whole production team over at the Dice Awards, fantastic. Big claps. I live reacted to it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
You kind of have player builds that you can still mix and match with with weapons and stuff, but you kind of are picking a lane when you pick one of the characters. One is more of the tanker build, one is the stealth assassin, one is the generic warrior, and one is a mage.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
But this mage is a little bit different because instead of having two different flasks, one for mana, one for health, this one now only has one, just health. And so your mana consumption is kind of just at this tough blend of, I've used up all my mana, I'm not getting enough back, and so now I'm not casting spells.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
And there's this difficult dance that I couldn't master in my first three hours where I was like, ooh, that wasn't a fun experience as a spellcaster.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
I am, I am, usually. I think most people, I would probably go as far as saying, I bet you 80% of all Dark Souls and Elden Ring people are not spellcasters, right? I think spellcasters are a very small subset of the gameplay itself, so I don't think it's a big class that people are like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
dying for but there is a lot of people who are probably like me who enjoy that right you get kind of a little bit away from the battle you get your chance to kind of see things on the battlefield dodge and move and so this one is a different blend because it's not just the traditional hey here's two different potions drink as you like it is very much of you have to be spell casting but then also using this ability that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
is your ultimate, so it kind of takes some time to get it back. And so you use it, and like Andy described in the Gamescast, I encourage you to check that out, it will mark targets. And every target then is marked, and anybody that hits them that you hit will bring you back health and mana, which is great, except for when you're on a one-on-one fight with the boss.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
And then it's a little bit tougher to really bring it back. So you feel at a disadvantage here of not being able to help your teammates, being stuck using a bow that does like 14 damage and like, oh, I wish I could help y'all. I'm really behind on this. And so there's a guy who sells stuff. They have a shopkeep out there, but he only sold me two like kind of mana regen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
So it's like it just doesn't feel quite right. The balance is off right now. But it is fun how they kind of played with it all. Everybody has these two abilities, right? One is kind of a faster, we'll call that ability one, faster respawn, kind of your minor ability, and then your major super ability. And everybody has something different. It is cool to see them all blend.

When you play with randoms, it is very much a game of chance of... Is this team ready to move? Who will be the leader? Because you need to move at all times, and you need to be seeing the field. When you play with friends, I think you'll have a great time of, like, someone will say, hey, we're going here next. Let's go here next. Hey, I need to stop. Let's do this.

It's since been removed, and there's always a slim chance this was an added-in error, but it more than likely confirms that Elden Ring Night Rain will be getting more content down the line. Since this particular version of Elden Ring is a bit more online and a live service, it's not a surprising note.

Elden Ring Night Rain is a standalone game, and developers from software have been pretty consistent on producing DLC and previous games. If more bosses are in the works, hopes would presume to be high for returning fights from previous games. Elden Ring Night Rain already has a few enemies from software games, like the Nameless King. Why not more? So, Tim, let's talk about that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
Yes. Okay. Yeah, we knew if you listen to Andy's, of course.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
gamescast i'll keep promoting that uh he talked about having eight playable characters right now in the network test you will only see four he also talked about more bosses being in there we're only seeing a select few bosses in this and so you would expect if you look at this and you clearly can see it you know what's going to happen here right this should catch major success when this releases what i think andy said like late fall right or late may late may
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
And so this should catch fire into the summer, which then if you were on the business side of things, you would look at that team and say, okay, this is red hot and you have something. What do we need to do to keep the player base in? And of course you have a wealth of former bosses and enemy types that you can add. You can of course make new bosses and enemy types.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
If you need to, you can make new classes, right? So I do expect that they will do that. This to me, if you're looking at this, this is a live service product. This will be, running through the summer into fall, and they would hope that this catches fire with more and more content coming your way. I have ideas of what I would like to see, but I do believe this will happen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
You know what I mean? Damn, Tim, that's crazy. I thought you would do it like God of War. A Monster Hunter is a great pull. I do not believe they will do that. I think they will stay in their lane if they want to keep this legit. I think you will lose players if you start doing the crazy Nicki Minaj's, the soap McTavish's.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
Now, does a Monster Hunter boss kind of fit the mold of most of these characters? Yeah, you could probably put a Monster Hunter... boss in this world. I bet you 80% of the players will be like, oh yeah, that's an Elden Ring character. I've never seen it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
But I got to give a big call out. You got to. Mr. Fashion himself. Todd Howard showed up in a blazer hoodie.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
And I don't even know if that's his name. That's good. Tim, I love that poll. And so, yeah, that's what gets me excited is you can see the framework right now and what they have going on. Andy has talked about it in the Gamescast. Go check it out again. That it is a ever-evolving map. It is always going to be procedurally generated.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
Right now, during the network test, it is a set map that you fly into, you land, you can see the known landmarks, and you move with that. Every time it will change whenever you play. You can already tell they will probably build a second map to this would be the smart move here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
You can already tell that they will add all of the bosses from Dark Souls 1 all the way to Elden Ring and everything in between. If they can get from software with Bloodborne bosses, they will do that, right? So you can see the framework of that. And I truly believe that is the right move. I wouldn't even be surprised if we see a limited time mode where they do add in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
Will you drop on the Rebirth Island? Stop it. Verdansk is coming. Get ready. We'll talk about that another day. But I would not be surprised if they tested out a limited time mode where two other teams drop with you. So there's three teams on the map that are moving and can either collide with each other on day one or they can wait until the end and compete at the end.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
The issue with FromSoftware and these multiplayer games is the dueling has never been perfect with the latency. So it is always something kind of funky and weird. But you can see the framework of like... Season one, we add more bosses. Season two, we add this. Season three, we do this, right? Or you can break it down into quarters, months, whatever you want to call it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

It's a blazer hoodie. Okay? It's a blazer, but with a hoodie inside of the blazer. It's not two different items. It's one item, Tim. Yeah. Okay? The Mr. Beast special, some call it. It was fire, Tim. I texted Greg Miller. I said, go up to Todd Howard, ask him where he got that blazer hoodie combo. Did you say? And then, of course, Greg Miller, as dad would, fucks it all up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
But there will probably be a day one day where it's like, hey, we have three teams jumping into this for a limited time mode. Here's the fun. Good luck, right? And so I do believe that that will be what will happen because there is a dedicated community that likes PvP in the Dark Souls and Elden Ring world. And I do see you're looking at it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
It is built for something like that for a limited time mode. It's not going to be the bread and butter, but it will be an attempt that they will try. Wow. Let's see if we have any super chats coming in. Of course, Benny B. Good writes in with a $2 super chat. Says, birthday gift for Mike. You're the best, homie. Of course, don't forget.

You might not have that special someone, but you have a support community around you. Reach out to somebody you care about. Let them know that you care. Let them know that you think about them today.

will look at it and go, how do I add in skins to this? How do we figure out a battle pass for this? I don't think you will ever pay for bosses. I don't think you'll pay for new characters, but I do, you can see it clear as day. It's like, they will charge you for a cool battle hawk skin because one of the characters is straight up Falcon on that.

One, the team over at Astro Bot talking about trying to bring that family game back to PlayStation, how important that was to go for that audience and make a game like that, that brings the fun, delivers on that, right? We talk about when you think of PlayStation in recent years, you think of that.

third-person action-adventure narrative-driven game that's usually a little bit on the mature side, right? And, like, PlayStation, way back in the day, was that family-friendly?

Mic them up next time. Number four. Okami 2 confirmed to be a direct sequel still early in development. This coming from Rebecca Valentine at IGN. The announcement of a sequel to beloved adventure game Okami at the Game Awards last year was met with plenty of fan celebration, but we still know very, very little about what exactly the game entails.

In a recent interview with Project Leeds, IGN was able to confirm a few crumbs, including that yes, the Okami sequel is in fact a direct sequel to the events of the first game. Speaking to IGN, Capcom producer, give me a moment. I worked really hard on these. Yoshiaki Hirabayashi confirmed that Okami's sequel is, quote, continuation of the story that we saw in the original game.

We asked as a follow-up if the team could confirm that, in fact, the great god Amaterasu in the trailer we saw at TGA's while the director Hideki Kamiya cryptically responded with, I wonder... Hirabayashi responded moments later that it was.

SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
While the news probably doesn't come as a shock to fans, there has been a significant speculation about how Okami's sequel would be handled a successorship from Okami. Technically, there's already a Okami Den, a Nintendo DS game starring Amaterasu's child? and features a number of characters from the original game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
However, Okami Den was met with mixed feedback, both for its release on the DS rather than one console and for its creation without key original team members such as Kamiya. Unfortunately, we are not going to get that much more detail for this for a while.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
In the same interview, the team confirmed that Okami's sequel was very, very early in development, with the team announcing it so early simply because they were excited and wanted to. Sadly, the team also says we might have taken a little bit of time before we might talk again.

It might have its ups and downs, but you have a strong product in a rainbow six siege. You have other games that you can add to this games as a service lineup.

We were riding a high, though. Jeff had an incredible slate of announcements, and we were on this tear for two and a half to three hours, where at the very end, you could have believed anything was going to come on stage. And we did like on throughout that entire show, you were at the 90% market going, he could have anything. Yep. He was about to bring out Snoop Dogg for Def Jam.

The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
That would have been a good pre-show opener right there. But yeah, maybe one day we'll see that. I'm sure Jeff has that in his back pocket. Probably at the 20-year mark.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
That had to have been in the meetings. Those early years, you know, with Spike and the Hydro Bot. We could probably just keep those in the past. We get the good years here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
It's the bounce that we always talk about and I spoke about and I know a lot of people are more on the side of give me the announcements as I'm on the side of I want the awards and I want that. But, like, it will always be a bounce that Jeff and his team will continue to tweak, right? Some years it's going to be a little more award-heavy. Sometimes it's going to be a little more announcement-heavy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
He's done a fantastic job. highlighting young voices like yourself and many others from the beginning of Future Class of, hey, it seemed like a lot of games media, the content creators to developers, then it felt like the next year was, hey, we're going to highlight developers, actually. That's where I want to be with this. So now this year, if this is going to be what it is, fantastic job.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24

The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
The GOAT. Let's reiterate that. He's the GOAT.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I'm a different person. I love that. And you know what else I'm going to play this weekend? Y'all have been talking so much about it. Everybody's been hyping it up. I downloaded the demo for Metaphor. I'm going to play through the demo of Metaphor. Wow. Because remember, 2024 was stepping out of the box. Mike isn't in the box anymore. He's trying all sorts of games. So I'm going to beat the demo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Yeah, fantastic. You tore through them. So I'll highlight a couple that really stuck out to me as I would love to highlight and shout them out. Of course, keeping it going here, Bless. I mean, a big shout out to Bellatro winning a couple of awards made by one person. game is fantastic. So much fun.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Awesome to see Bellatro, this tiny little game about poker of all things, up on the big six for the Game Awards in the medley. That is just wild to think that no matter who you are, no matter what size your game is, if it's great, it's going to be recognized and it can be up there. And that was a really special moment right there. Going on, of course, you talked about best sports game. I know
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
The world really was let down that college football wasn't in there, right? Like, I think college football should have been there. EA Sports FC continues to be a strong choice, though, but college football should have been up on that one. Best Sim, I loved Frostpunk. I thought that was a ton of fun. I'm happy to see that highlighted right there. You go down the list, of course, camouflage games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
We've had them multiple times on this, on the show, but Asgard draft two last year, we highlighted how great of a VR experience that was to see camouflage win with Batman Arkham shadows, VR. There are games there that justify getting the headset or putting on the headset and trying at least. And Batman is definitely one of those.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I thought that was really, really dope to see them get their recognition and flowers on that one. Baldur's Gate best community support coming from game of the year last year to them being recognized as best community support. amazing, right? There's so many mods now in that game. Continues to get its flowers and love. People spending thousands of hours in that game. It's just absolutely insane.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
And a great speech from the head of that team over there, which is really, really good. I mean, and then the Astro Bot Game of the Year The speech was perfect, right? Yeah. This is going to be many people's first game, and we're happy that we can be a part of it and give them something to play, share, and love. And I loved that game. It is one of my favorite games of the year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Very few games made me smile, laugh, and giggle like that game did. And so to see that go up against Black Myth, Elden Ring, Final Fantasy VII, Metaphor, and win, that's pretty amazing. And yeah, that... Third-person platformer is always something that I think speaks to a lot of people, gets a lot more people engaged and into it because there's a low barrier of entry on that, and it's just fun.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
And I don't know if I'll play the whole game, but I'm at least going to play the demo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
beat the games that were listed right there uh for a game of the year that's very so good uh best audio design uh hellblade 2 there is that game playing it at night with the headphones on goosebumps all the time you know feeling the whispers on the back of my night my back of my neck wondering is someone else in the room with me that's how good that audio design was it was fantastic and best score final fantasy 7 how do they have so many songs
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
It's incredible. Every single thing is so good on that one. So, yeah, a lot of great winners there. A lot of fun to go through and just highlight some awesome games and awesome teams making them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
You brought up what was missing. Yeah. You know what was missing? What's that? I was surprised that Xbox only brought one without a Worlds 2. They brought a lot of ads with this is not an Xbox, of course.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I was a little surprised we didn't see more Xbox in the mix, especially after last year. I thought this year, but we've heard it many of times from developers and teams of like, it's very difficult to look at one of your teams and say, hey, cut me this trailer, buy this date, let's do this, right? So like, no matter where they are in the pipeline, it is always difficult.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
teams. That's where I'm at. Well, that's why I would highlight them of like, I was surprised they're missing because they have so many games, so many teams, so many things announced during the summertime that I'm surprised that at the biggest stage in December, when we start wrapping up the calendar year and all the highlights that they've had, that this is not one of their like kind of mainstays.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
And I think Greg touched on it at the end of the night of like Naughty Dog showing up big here of like maybe next year, other teams look at that like Nintendo and an Xbox and go, we want to be there too.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
they have a lot of events and communication tentpoles that they go through throughout the year that maybe they are, they don't have any more to share there. I think it's always on the developers of like, can I get this team to create something for this and have them spend resources while they should be developing the game and, you know, maybe enjoying a nice holiday break.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
It's, I think it's tough for that one too, but yeah, I'm surprised with all those teams and games that they weren't there. No Nintendo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Nintendo Switch 2 is looming. Where's that? I know that's its own thing. That's the thing is,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Of course, you know, your boy Mike really wanted Rockstar to work with Jeff and bring Grand Theft Auto. We always talk about GTA is way bigger than anything. They don't need anyone. But like, yeah, Rockstar continues to sit on after a year since the trailer. We haven't gotten anything since as you guys did the games cast. It's like wild to think of like, where's Grand Theft Auto?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
When do we start talking about this again? Where is Grand Theft Auto?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Yeah, of course. And with coming off of the Wild Hunt, we know that he has a very big piece in Ciri's life right there. So it's like, where will he be used? How much will he be used? A mentor? Will he just be another Witcher that maybe we meet at certain areas and we catch up with? I don't need him to be the star, as it is all about Ciri, and that's what I'm here for, is that next her role.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
journey, but like, yeah, of course you want the mainstay of all the Witcher games that you remember from before to have a nice little appearance in this. It'll be fun to see how they use him. Very little? A lot? Where's that at?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
A lot of dope stories to tell, monsters to slay, combat to be elevated, gameplay to be taken to the next level, graphics...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
We as gamers eat big. We have a great year of awesome video games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
We have a great time. That's not what I'm asking. People go, oh, my God, The Witcher is so great, and they forget about Elder Scrolls because they're on the fan.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
You want me to get controversial? I'm giving you the controversial one. No one is forgetting. They get mad because Elder Scrolls is still stuck in the past with the Bethesda ways, just like we saw with Starfield, where they love what they get from Bethesda games, but they want something more.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
They want to somehow elevate these systems that have been built upon and the normal ways that we go about it, and they wish that it would be taken up to the next level. That's the only controversial thing I can say for you. No, that I think I agree with. I think we all are extremely pumped because it's more Elder Scrolls, which everybody loves and adores, and Witcher.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
It's like, man, what a great time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Put all of them out in the same year. So they're not making Baldur's Gate. It's pretty exciting to see what their next thing is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Of course, I agree. I agree.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
You brought up Obsidian with two RPGs next year. Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed. I mean, that's very exciting. If you love RPGs, you've had a great year with them this year. RPGs continue to really shine. It's going to be a lot of fun.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
So you're fighting essentially four bosses, three mini bosses, and then the big boss at the end. Yes. Every single run, we'll call it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
They have pre-made character classes that you choose from. Yesterday, I believe. I think that's what Greg read yesterday. It seemed like there was character classes that you choose from as opposed to just we just choose what we want to build and kind of build that out. It seems like they're pre-made. I'm into this, Bless. I'm very excited. I'll just call it like an Elden Ring boss rush mode.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I'm interested in that, especially with my friends.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
This feels like fan fiction. It doesn't feel like that. Yeah, it'll be really interesting to see what you look at it like that. I don't know. It just feels right of like, this is a very small project. It's clearly not Elden Ring DLC. It's going to be its own standalone thing, testing multiplayer to make it smoother and better.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
A much smaller project of, well, we just take the bosses we've already had, shove them into these tiny arenas and let you fight them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
We can start with X amount of bosses and we can just add bosses over time when they want more. It seems like an interesting win and it feels like a good, hey, we stay in the popularity. People are excited. They get more while we build something else, while we get to the next one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Instead of going, oh man, they haven't had anything in a year, two years, three years, four years on a normal dev cycle that we would experience with these games. Now you continue to get more of the games you love. I'm excited for this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Nothing good, Bless. Nothing good at all. I mean, that is one of your top talents right there. That is someone that you don't want to lose off your team. You would do anything to try to keep them on there. I don't know what's happening over there, Bless.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
The slow crumble, the steady fall of it all that we've been witnessing over the past couple of years and a decade now of as things start to move away and people start to go towards their favorite YouTubers, content creators for their reviews, opinions, thoughts, gameplay. As that starts to slowly go, we've seen just the slow decline of... do people still go to mega sites like this?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Do they want that? And there's pieces of it where it's like, yeah, I go to my news from all these journalists that are breaking the news, that have the press media briefings, that know all this stuff, but it still feels like the world has clearly said, no, we're going over here on the opposite direction right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24

So what is Ziff Davis doing here? Offering a number of buyouts to all of these employees just saying, hey, you can either leave or six months down the road you're going to leave because we're out of this. What is the move here from them? Are they getting ready to shut this down? Are they getting ready to sell?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Are they going to cut it so low where it's like, hey, we just do guides and we're only going to do this. Everything else is gone. That's what it feels like and reads like right there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
It's heartbreaking. Cause I know you were just like me where you grew up reading and looking at IGN and other game websites like this as that is the dream. That is the Mecca. That is the coolest place to want to work and be a part of. And to see that just crumbling and falling apart right in front of our eyes is wild to be a part of, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Like, and it's happening now and it's hard to get a grip on it of like, Oh, this is real. two months, a year, three years down the road when it's totally different, we'll look back and go, wow, we witnessed that happen in real time. Yeah. And it was crazy to be a part of.

Go into three. Two and one are a little old. If you're jumping in for the first ever time, this is the moment that you should be jumping into. You know, it's hard for me to recommend two and one if it's really, really first time. So three is good enough. I think you would enjoy three a lot.

I like it. Smaller, condensed thing. Multiplayer-focused, right? Like, there's only, what, you read, like, eight bosses there, so I think maybe people will be like, oh, there's not enough content here. Maybe a lower score than what we would normally see. But a lower score... I'm just saying... For the counterpick argument there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I was going to go with 85. Yeah, I was thinking 85, too. We're in the same mind of, like, this isn't going to be like an Elden Ring. Yeah, I don't think this is a 70, which is like a counterpick area, right? You want 70 or lower not to release. But, like, to me, if I look at that, I go, I don't know if I want to counterpick that. That feels like an 85.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
It's definitely not impossible. It's very different from what people want from them.

The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
at the end of the day this was an incredible announcement this was an awesome lineup that rivaled any showcase we'd ever seen right for 10 years of the game awards jeff keely worked with all these different developers and companies to come together and give us every announcement teaser trailer trailer that you could ever ask for it was too much it was a lot right there you just named all that and i'm sure you got tired reading all of it right and i'm
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I know I miss things, too. It's crazy. I will say, like, it was awesome, Bless. There's so many games to talk about. It was a great time. Sprinkled in with the, of course, awards that I'm a big stickler for. I think Jeff has taken all that criticism. He's taken all of the feedback and said, okay, let me find the perfect balance.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
And I think the balance was just a little heavy on the announcement side. But I think next year, he's going to find that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I think I would just take a couple away. I think when you read that list, there's just too many. I think we got lost in the sauce of the announcements and the trailers and the world premieres. And it was exciting, don't get me wrong. But we definitely put a backseat to the awards.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
And I think the issue for me is if you ask people coming out of that awards show, if you ask people who watched it, they would probably be hard-pressed to tell you who most of the winners were, if not maybe one or two categories. And I think that was...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
where I've always appreciated the Game Awards and shows like Dice, where it's, oh, we get to see the hardworking human beings that make the games that we love go up on stage, get their flowers, or spend that moment of like, here's the nominees and pan across.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
You know, we talked about it on the Gamescast, how you would improve the Game Awards, and I know I was a little more quiet on that, but I do think complimenting that with maybe a red carpet kind of opening interview would maybe benefit a show like, That was so announcement heavy might've been a little bit better of, Hey, we got all the different developers coming down on a red carpet.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Or I know you were here late playing some Helldivers 2. We stayed late, me and Greg Miller, until about midnight here on the West Coast, Bass Coast, playing Helldivers 2, new updates. I'm feeling good, Bless. You know me. I usually stay up late anyways. So I've turned on here after games cased. Games cast. Thank you. But I'm turning on right now. I'm a little tired, but I'm feeling still good.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
You can see them live and in person. They talk a little bit. We get to know and see them more than, Hey, these are just faces on a screen that come on for half a second or, Hey, I don't really know who makes the games that I love. I want to get to know them more. I think that would be a better compliment to this. And that was what I was going to add. But yeah, I mean, also at the same time, like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
You have a legend in Faker who wins Esports Athlete of the Year again, right? This is a guy who is, like, at the top of his class, who has dominated the League of Legends world for decades, right? And, like, no sign of Faker. Now I'm sure it's very tough to organize travel, get someone over here like that. But, like, that's an award that, like, just comes and goes and no one ever thinks about.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I do think there's, like, four that could probably be tossed out. That's one of them that doesn't really match this show. But, like, if you're going to have it on there... Faker should probably be in the building receiving the award. That guy is like the goat of video games here. So yeah, that's my only complaint about it all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I think when you do the announcements, if you want the hype moments, Jeff nailed it. That was too much. It was amazing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Yeah. Because I got a lot of things I want to do. Oh yeah? I wanna take flight in Microsoft Flight Sim. I wanna play Marvel Rivals with my best friends. I wanna rank up in Call of Duty. I wanna play more Indiana Jones. I wanna play more of that Fortnite Ballistics. I wanna play more Fortnite. I can't rest, Bless, okay? I'll rest when I'm dead.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Well, let's get back to the fun because I'm sure people don't want to just hear me critique about the award winners. Let's talk about the cool announcements for just a little bit because, yeah, that's where we're going. There were some really great ones there, Bless. I mean, too many to go over, but I will highlight one. I'm still blown away that we are getting rematched, the Sifu soccer game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I cannot believe that there was a meeting where this team came together and they said – How do we follow up Sifu? And someone raised their hands and was like, let's make a soccer game. That is such a big bet on yourselves. Let's make something that we're passionate about type idea.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
When we live in such a world of like, no, you would follow up Sifu with the Sifu 2 because that's going to sell and people are going to want to jump on that. Now you kind of go, well, we're betting on ourselves to make something great here. We got to prove to the world that we can make a soccer game in 2024 and beyond, which is insane to think about right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
A game like FIFA, who dominates the conversation. You have these very small, just tiny sports games that don't really break out. I think of three-on-three freestyle, right? Which is very similar to what this game will be. It's like, can that break the mold and be bigger than what it is? Or is it just going to come and go? I'm very interested to see this. But the announcement is hype, right?

nintendo and the value of which um the value that nintendo wants to put their things at and their the audience's willingness to play to pay that value because it's mario and zelda and pokemon in this stuff right like i think too and this kind of comes back to uh the super chat from days ago that was like why does nintendo get a pass on this shit i don't i i think there is
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I think there's a double standard. And I think to some extent, possibly, they've earned that double standard just based on the company they are and who they are. And it's going to piss people off.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
But here's the thing I'll say. We'll see when all the cards are on the table. But this is still going to sell really well. I think the software is still going to sell really well. It might not hit the...

peaks of what the switch one sales were because of price or whatever but i still think that like to to like to the example of not to use gary wood as the example but i think gary wood is indicative of what a lot of people are which is we sat here we complain about the welcome tour price and then gary's like well yeah i'm still gonna buy it that's a nintendo like that's the nintendo power no pun intended

Pun intended. Pun intended, everybody. And I guess my question then becomes... Thank you so much for the smoke. Is it different with Nintendo? And like, I guess for people watching, right? Like, do you give them a pass because they're Nintendo with this kind of thing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I guess it would be, are you more willing to buy the thing from Nintendo? Like if another company was to go this route. No! No, I am not.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
But that's what I'm talking about. So I'm going to buy Mario because it's on Nintendo. But that's what I'm saying. I'm talking about, okay, maybe I'll take Nintendo out of it, right? But I'm still going to bitch about 3D All-Stars. But you're still going to buy 3D All-Stars. Yes, because I want it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Which is why they're valuing it that way. That's the thing is like, they know at the end of the day, it's what we pay, what we pay our money for. Right. It's like the things that they know that we're going to shell out for. And that's why this stuff is $80 because guess what? We're going to be mad about it. We're still going to buy it. We're still going to pay the money.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

That's the question. How much is Kirby Air Riders going to cost? How much is... Do we have a price for Pokemon at all? I forget if they've already said that, but how much is that going to cost, right? What is the baseline? Is Mario Kart 80 because it's Mario Kart? Is that saved for the cream of the crop, or is 80 now going to be the base thing?

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Yeah, I mean, that's a really good question. That's a really good question. I think even separating it from the Super Mario Odyssey team, I think just looking at it as the way Nintendo wants to look at it as far as, hey, we're not telling you who's developing these games because we think all of our games should be treated equally.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
We think all of our games are on an equal level as far as how we value them, as far as how we look at the... how we want them to be presented to fans. We want fans to be excited for all of our games. However, Mario Kart World is 80, and Donkey Kong Bananas is 70. There's some methodology there. It could be scope. Maybe the Donkey Kong game is maybe smaller.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Maybe that's an eight-hour game, and we're not going to realize it until we get there. Maybe it is the fact that they look at Mario Kart World as, oh, we put a lot of budget and a lot of time to this thing. We think people are going to spend... 50 to 100 hours playing this game, which does make sense because it's Mario Kart, right? Like, Donkey Kong Bonanza isn't that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I mean, do you think it is just the fact that Mario... It's more about demand than even scope, right? Like, I think Mario Kart... Nintendo doesn't really talk about budgeting, do they? I guess nobody really talks about budgeting in the video games industry. Because I do wonder what that looks like versus A-Tier's The Kingdom or Breath of the Wild, right? Because...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Us playing Mario Kart World, there is so much charm, there is so much detail, there is so much production in it, and it's not nearly as, I assume, again, us having not played more than 30 minutes, right? I can't assume it's anywhere near the scope of the Breath of the Wild or Tears of the
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
if it is just like, hey, we min-maxed budget in a different direction as far as what you're getting production-wise out of this thing. And we know the demand for a Mario Kart. It's been the highest selling title of our platforms for a few generations now. Mario Kart is the top-est tier of Nintendo, so we're going to give it that top-est premium, the highest premium price that we can give it.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Can I bring in this Sean Layden article? Please do. So again, this is Jordan Midler. It reads, from Video Games Chronicle, it reads, Former PlayStation executive Sean Layden has said that Nintendo's first-party IP is strong enough to mitigate the sticker shock of $80 games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Layden, who was chairman of the company's Worldwide Studios Group when he left Sony in 2019, recently appeared on the Player Driven podcast to discuss, among other topics, the Switch 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Layden, who has been outspoken previously about the troubles the games industry has faced while trying to balance production costs with the player expectation of games pricing, shared his thoughts on Nintendo's decision to price Nintendo Switch 2 games above $70. Quote, they poked through the ceiling of price elasticity where we thought none existed before.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Recently, it went to $70 and people went crazy. I think Nintendo is pulling the band-aid right off and saying, quote, look like it's... looks like it's $80 for a frontline game on the new platform." End quote. Layton also discussed how Nintendo leverages IP to negate some of the negative reactions to the increased price. Quote, but right here you see it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Wow, that's kind of a hefty price hike from Switch 1 to Switch 2. Wow, $80 for a game? If it's the only place you can play Mario, then you get your wallet out and you buy into it. That first-party exclusivity kind of mitigates the sticker shock, if you will, of these price hikes because you want the content so bad, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
And then the article goes on to talk about how, yeah, we've only had prices so far of Donkey Kong Bonanza, Mario Kart World, and Nintendo Switch 2. But, like... I think there's a point there, right? As far as... In the conversations we've had in recent times, we've talked about GTA 6 and how GTA 6 could be $80, $90, $100, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
And that's one of the only games that we think could get away with coming out for that price, or at least starting the avalanche of games going up in price in that way. I think we were kind of not looking at Nintendo as being the ones, but to some extent, I think they kind of make sense for it, right? Like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
$80 Nintendo games, they're already... I think Nintendo is already so... I don't even know the word I'm looking for. I want to say exclusive. I want to say premium.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I want to say, I guess, prestige as far as how they treat their titles that I think they can get away with it and people are going to be mad, people are going to be upset, but people will still pay the price to play a Mario Kart or play a Zelda or play whatever it is that they're going to charge $80 for.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
But, like, I got the codes and they were like, okay, cool. Doesn't go live until 3 a.m. And I was like, all right, cool. We're not streaming this today then. I get in today and I look at Kevin because I'm like, yo, what's happening on the stream? Because I look at the calendar and it says one thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I just feel like it's this thing of like... I think it's still aligned with, I guess, more recent generations of Nintendo when I look at 3DS and Switch and stuff of people being like, man, these Nintendo games never go on sale, and when they do, it's $5 off when I want to buy the next Pikmin, right? I think Nintendo... one of the things that they do is they desperately desperate is too much word.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Right. But like, I guess like aggressively try to maintain the value of their games higher than other games. So they can look at it and go, Hey, guess what? Mario is always going to, you're always going to pay the price for Mario, right? You're always going to pay the price for a Nintendo IP and, because we value them that much. Without IP, we're not much as Nintendo, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Kevin then mentions or Kevin said, like, yo, the title on YouTube is saying a Blueprints related thing. And I'm like, Kevin, what's going on? I thought we were playing rematch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
We gotta make sure that we can always charge a high price for these things. And I think that's been their MO for like the last decade of Nintendo. And yeah, maybe that is changing with the acronyms that you're talking about, right? Like maybe it is like the technological leap. Nintendo looks at that and goes, well, shit. But I also think it is just the state of the world, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Like I think it is just the economy and where we're at worldwide with money. where shit just needs to go up because of these words we don't like, like inflation, and now tariffs. I think it all is this delicate math that they're playing, and for Nintendo, the response to that math... I don't want to go too far with this comparison, but I'll step in there, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
For PlayStation or for Xbox, like starting with Xbox, right? I think the way you respond to that math is going, all right, Indiana Jones, Doom, Dark Ages, all of our games, they're releasing on PlayStation, PC, everywhere. I think PlayStation goes, all right, we're putting Horizon on PC. We're expanding into live service. We're doing these things to try and make sure that we can...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
still build those steps to the future and still existing and not going out of business because the shit takes uh shit costs a lot of money we got to pay our shareholders for nintendo i think they're for them it is strengthening and going what is our identity and what is going to bring us the most money as nintendo for what makes sense for what our business is our business is ips and exclusivity let's raise the prices like let's make people pay 80 for a mario kart and like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25

Feels good to me. I feel good about that. Feels great. It's the impossible thing of... We talk about these things in multiple ways at the same time, right? We talk about what we want as the audience. We talk about what we want as fans. We talk about what our perception and what our opinions are about the business and strategy and all this stuff, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
And I think people often conflate all that together and think that when I say... I don't know, when I say Nintendo... When I say, for example, I guess here, right? I think Nintendo's making the right Nintendo decision to be exclusive and to maintain the value of their things. I think $80 is bad, right? But I could see the business there. That's not necessarily me being like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Nintendo should charge $100 for Zelda and do all this shit, right? Like, I think you can say both things at the same time, but naturally the people who are watching and listening sometimes are going to, like, conflate those. I've seen enough Twitter clips where people will take what I say out of context, and I'm like, all right, people just don't want to listen to anything.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I didn't know when the release date was, but I wasn't surprised when we were pulling it up. I was like, it's going to be some rematch, though, because I know what's going down. That's awesome.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I think it's, and this is not a joke, I think it's Canadian guy Eh.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Yeah. You said Eh, like it was like Eh. Yeah. But it's more like, you know. You know what I mean? That's what they do up there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Honestly, that doesn't sound long enough. Really? Yeah, Nuts and Bolts sounds like a different generation ago. Like five generations ago.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Spyro?

Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
If you were to put your CEO hat on, let's say you're Toys for Bob's CEO hat on, and you're coming off some wins, right? You put out Crash 4 quite a few years ago. People love it. It's great, right? And you're trying to figure out what you're doing next. And you're now independent. You have access to these Xbox IPs. What are... The IPs, what are the games you pick from a business standpoint?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I mean, it's just pure business. Pure business. It's Crash Bandicoot. Oh, before a new Banjo?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Do you think there's, like, a latent... I know this is always an impossible thing to measure, but, like, fan desire for a new Banjo, like, the return of Banjo-Kazooie. Like, I... Because I agree with you as far as, I guess, like, overall Crash as an IP is just a bit more, I guess, like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
We'll see. He hasn't responded to my DM yet.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
business makes more business sense than banjo because crash has been active you know crash has an audience that's going to return to it or whatever right and like maybe crash is a bit more
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
mainstream than banjo but i think there is like just the sense of banjo has been gone forever we've not gotten a traditional banjo game since banjo 2e in like 2000 or some shit right like i feel like a new banjo in 2025 2026 has the potential to like take over i also think that uh the expectations for banjo are going to be way higher and way more difficult to to meet
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I agree with that. Yeah, I think that just for the nature of the kind of platformer is, I think Crash, when you're talking about making a new Crash game, right? Like, there's more linearity there, right? Like, I think Crash is a bit more dialed in as far as what you can do with a new Crash nowadays, whereas Banjo, you're almost going up against a Mario Odyssey.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
You're kind of going up against, like, these platformers that are more explorative and more collect-a-thon based, and I think there's more work to be put into making a new Banjo versus a new Crash.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I think Spyro, out of those three, I think Spyro might be at the bottom of the list.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Toys for Bob did the Spyro Reignited trilogy.

Here's the thing. I'm making a shift in my schedule to be on the stream today, which means I have less time. But guess what? You know what I mean? Mike is there to help out where he can. He doesn't know how to say no to things. I'm going to take advantage of that.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I don't think they'll be right for Conker. I had an idea for Conker, and I forgot what it was. I'll think on it, though. There's a developer that is right for Conker that we've mentioned before on this show. Was it the High for Life people? I don't think it was. Or High Off Life? I think their humor fits. High On Life, thank you. Their humor actually kind of fits Conker. But there's a studio there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I just don't think that Toys for Bob is the one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
What would you do if we get to the end of the Xbox Game Showcase and we get Xbox Games Publishing, Toys for Bob, and then a trailer for Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts 2?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Tough. Yeah.

August 8th.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Times like this, I wish I still had the Blessing Super Fun Game release calendar. Yeah. Because now I'm trying to place it of what's happening around that time. I know Metal Gear Delta is in August 8th. But is there much else so far in August, Chad? Let me know.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
He doesn't know how to say no to things. So sometimes I got to take advantage of that when I can.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Scared me for a second with your pause there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
And that might be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Take 2, or 2K, I should say. They like PAX East a lot. Borderlands got a lot of PAX East stuff. You're right. And I wonder what that... I wonder if this is part of that, of like, hey, 2K, we just see PAX East as a good place to reveal things. But I have questions. If you work at 2K and just want to let me know why y'all fuck with PAX East so heavy, let me know, because I also love PAX, you know?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
And I remember I wasn't in the room for the Borderlands 3 reveal at PAX East, but I remember seeing the line and being like, damn, that's crazy. And then Randy Pitchford was in there doing magic tricks. Well, he does. Being like, yo, why won't the trailer play? And started blaming the people running the show. And it's like, Randy, chill, all right? doing their best. Do you remember this?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Xbox acts like they're a first-party developer. That's crazy. That's wild. I think there are PlayStation first-party games that don't have game help. I'm pretty sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Yeah. I wonder, I mean, I'm very fascinated by, is there a courting process to third parties for how deeply you integrate your features with PlayStation native things? Like the game cards thing, for example. Maybe Bethesda and Machine Games were like, oh, actually, no, we want to do this. But I...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I did just get a response from Mike who says, I don't know how to say no to things. So of course I'll say yes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
When that happens, I view that more so of like, I wonder if PlayStation was like, hey, we'll give you better placement on the store. We'll give you like XYZ perk if you support these features so we can talk about it. Same with the PlayStation 5 Pro stuff of like, hey, if you optimize it for PS5 Pro in these ways, like we'll help you out in XYZ ways. I...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
i'm sure that's there's like a level i mean i'm sure it's not just that right but like i'm sure there's a level of that kind of back and forth happening but yeah it happening it this is totally normal because it is bethesda and like bethesda already has that relationship with playstation right and i'm sure for xbox it's going to be the same thing right but it is just interesting of all right cool xbox is making a thing and it's going to work really well on a ps5 pro like that's fucking awesome yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25

Also, when I say mighty, I mean, like, Black Mirror. I'm not talking shit about Oxenfree. Oh. Yeah, nice to go. Even though this is weird, but also I can see. You know what? That is interesting. Hey, we made Oxenfree. We made these indie games that people love and adore. And Netflix is like, yo, can you make a game for our show?

Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25

For South of Midnight type games, I mean, it's one of those things of what do you like about South of Midnight? Do you like the story and the world? Do you like the art style? Do you like the...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
like action adventure gameplay because like if you're saying you like the action adventure gameplay i'm like yo play god of war multiple people in the chat bringing up hi-fi rush and i think that's actually a really really good call there i like that um if you like the setting it's it's different but uh mafia 3 that's a game that takes place in new orleans that's a game i've not played it i know barrett's bear has played and i've listened to like austin walker talk about on a podcast about how well it tackles that story uh of those characters during that time
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Yeah, I think those are good.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Yeah, I'm not mad at that. One of these Mario speedruns, yes, is the peak of accomplishment. I remember my first time seeing somebody do the backwards long jump up the stairs. That shit blew my mind. Blew me away.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Gotcha.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Oh, this one is interesting from NA. Blessy might be unintentionally mentioning 2K and Gearbox. Gearbox is owned by 2K now, yeah, but that wasn't until relatively recently. Gearbox has always hosted big PAX East theater shows each year, which of course includes Borderlands News. Other than Mafia this year, I can't remember previous years where 2K itself had such a big showing at PAX East.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
When did 2K acquire Gearbox? Because maybe I thought that's been longer than... It actually has been. I thought that was for a while. I thought it was a while, too. I'm going to look into this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
That was hella long ago. Because Borderlands 3 was published under 2K. And then maybe Borderlands 2 wasn't published. No, that was 2K. Super Chat, are you sure? Or not Super Chat, sorry. This is your wrong person. Are you sure? I'm going to look into this. Because I appreciate it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
But also, you could be right that this Mafia thing is very much an off case, and I think that's more of the likely scenario. It's just a matter of I don't see many AAA studios revealing big info about games, at PAX East in particular, and I know Gearbox has loved PAX East. So I do wonder if maybe Gearbox infected them in some way. Infected?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Yeah, they're like, oh no, this is actually a great place to reveal stuff, but I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Nah, man. What's funny is that I'm surprised we spent so much time on the first news story because I was ready to, before the show, look at you and be like, yo, we should just ask for a bunch of super chats because we're going to get through this shit really quickly. We got them, though. And we still got them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Yeah. Of course. Yeah. I played it. I played just two seconds of it. Just to get in the practice mode. One, to make sure that I was right about the fact that the beta is live. But then also just to move around a bit.

Let me tell you, Kevin's been in a great mood ever since he discovered blueprints. That's really what happened. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

What happened?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
That is going to happen. Like, Tim, as somebody who is currently addicted to blueprints, it's going to take over Kevin's life.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
It's going to be a problem.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I knew it was bad when I woke up to a text from Kevin this morning. And Kevin just sends me a screenshot of his game. He's like, look what I did. I'm like, oh, he's in. He's in. Because I never get random texts from Kevin.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I can't wait to talk about this one. I know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
This one even more so, because I'm... Not that I'm of two minds with it, but I might be, listen, you know what I mean? I might be a corporate apologist.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I don't even have a rant about this. It's more so questions about what our expectations are around upgrades, around weird Nintendo decisions, and around what we want out of this, right? Because, like, I think when I look at an enhanced edition of a game, typically...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I'll say a lot of the time, if not most of the time, when you're getting that either, I don't even want to say complete edition because they've never framed this as a complete edition. They're saying this is the next gen edition of this thing. Most of the time for AAA companies, that does come with a DLC.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
It almost is packaged like a complete edition or a game of the year edition, which comes with DLC or something like that, right? This isn't that, of course. This is them being like, hey, you're getting the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Zelda Breath of the Wild. If you want the DLC, pay the money for the DLC. I'm not thrilled with that, but I'm also not mad at that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Just for the sense of like, all right, cool. We're mad that they're not including a DLC with a thing that's not being presented as including the DLC.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
That's the thing is, I think out of all the shitty parts of their messaging and all the stuff they've done so far, this is like the bottom of the totem pole where I look at this and I'm like, all right,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
cool like i i own the d i bought the dlc when it came out so i'm like not i guess i'm not worried about it yeah that's my thing is i'm also like if you're somebody who's in the market well i guess this is yeah if you're somebody who's new to buying breath of the wild i don't know it's just a weird thing of you we paid for the dlc anyway this changes nothing yeah i guess in my mind it i mean again it's uh it's always a weird thing that nintendo can slightly enhance uh games sometimes not even at all sometimes take the features away and then charge more
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
You know why.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
That's the thing is, I wonder if Nintendo looks at it and is like, well, it's just... It wasn't that... Well... I guess for me, I don't look at that DLC as like, oh man, it must play. Oh man, we're missing out on the Breath of the Wild DLC. Like it was very fine DLC, but I'm in there for more of the core experience. It wasn't Shadow of the Earth Tree or anything like that, right? Exactly.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
It wasn't the Cyberpunk DLC.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
and this is where i because i had a new story in here that i was reluctant to put it in and then at the last minute another story came in so i took that one out um but the one of the stories that i had on the roper report was another one from video games chronicle uh by jordan middler titled um um it's well it's basically talking about a sean layden quote right where he says quote if it's the only place to play mario you buy it former playstation boss reacts to 80 nintendo games and it kind of gets into the conversation of like
Ninjas Are Butterflies

But then they had, yeah.

125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
What was I saying? Mogadishu? You said about every variation that you did. You went through the vowels. There's no way of knowing.

125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
Technically correct.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
Yep, seen that.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
It was confusing as heck because they started talking about, like, they were trying to validate that guy's, all the claims that he made. And they were like, we can't. Like, we can't put this against something else that we can't really know. But one of the words they were hung up on is, it wasn't gravity. It was like a verb version. Gravitic. Gravitic, yeah.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
Science fiction. Yeah.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
You're like pulling up notes. Did we steal your thunder? Were you about to talk about this? No, I'm pulling up, I'm trying to find a video. I gotcha. I fell asleep halfway through it, not because it was boring, but because it was late last night.

Propulsions. About 830, I'm trying to crash.

Going back to Sean Ryan, did you guys watch his full podcast? Yeah. Because he does start out by being like... with, you know, we can't, none of this is certain. We're just trying to figure it out. And then the fact that they did address that that word comes from science fiction. So there is like, that was the thing to me that was like, this is like, take this with a grain of salt.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
Cause this isn't necessarily scientific lingo. This is literally like,
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
that happened? I think it was.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
Okay. No, I mean, like, it's, like, that's what it brings up. Like, there's no limit to the payload. Well, like, someone explain that. Like, everything has, you know, has limits.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
Yeah. I understood that differently. Not to what it could hold, but, like, does it just exist up there and it's generating its own payload? Like, does it somehow have, like, a laser tech from, like, solar power? Like, you know. Interesting. Yeah, I don't know. But I don't think we know. My question is, how is it existing on his platform?
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
Because he said we were going to post this, and then we realized there are names in the thing that we were going to post, and these are still operatives, so we've redacted. It's like, well, who told you to redact and then said, but go ahead and post the rest?
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
So the producer knows people who are still? Yeah. Is that what it was?
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
But what was I going to say? When I was reading through it, it seemed a little bit unhinged, like a little all over the place.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
That sounds weird.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
Do you see the Las Vegas guy was actually on a reality show? Yeah, yeah. See that too? He was Tim Kennedy's co-shooter.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
The Ranger. No, he was a Green Beret. I'm thinking Sean Ryan was a SEAL.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
And it's not fair to the people, too, who are in the world because half of them can't talk about what they've done and who they know. And so I feel like you're getting sound bites and it's easy to control a narrative when people are like, I don't know how much of this I can address.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
How? I don't
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
know man we're getting so political i love it i don't know if the show is where we want to go super political where my brain is like the next step where i'm like almost going with it all but i'm just like they want to take certain items away from us yet there's all of these intelligence would say there's all these threats emerging within it's like i don't want to give up the things they want to take away
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
I don't want to really talk about that much more than I just did.

Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
January 8th? The body of water we are adjacent to will no longer be referred to as the Gulf of Mexico.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
It is the Gulf of America.
Ninjas Are Butterflies

It's not the United States of America. It makes sense.

You know, they try to split Florida, like, within the last 30 years. And that was the big reason why is 51 states doesn't make sense. But they wanted to do, like, North Florida and then, like, whatever. I forget where they're going to draw the line. But because the economies are so different. Yeah. They're culturally different, too.

Who would you? I was going to say Illuminati, but... Cool. Let's do Zuckerberg.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
He blamed it on we've developed complex systems. He said the problem is sometimes they get it wrong. And he said when they get it wrong 1% of the time, that's actually millions of people who have been censored. But I'm like, dude, you did another post where you admitted like intentional censorship. So this isn't your system making a mistake.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
And now they're moving their U.S. based fact checkers, which he didn't say were dissolving. He said they're calling them whatever else, but they're moving.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
Same thing. New name. But they're moving them from California to Texas. And so like he's.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
But it's like people don't like it's that obvious. People don't trust you. So, yeah. Zuckerberg. This is wild. Zuckerberg. What a booger. I know. We believe you. And he looks like one, two.
Ninjas Are Butterflies

What's his name? I'll do a little search while you're talking.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
The Piri Reis world map of 1513 was discovered in the... Turkish archives. Yeah, palace library in 1929. Oh.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
1929. 1929.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
Well, no, she's talking about when he drew the map, it had vegetation. Oh, but he was basing it off of other maps. Potentially a map that was 4,000 years old.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
Even, even if it wasn't technology and I didn't read the story, this is like, you know, your take, but even if it wasn't technology, like if you're just circling it, like your vantage point, like I'm thinking mountain ridges and stuff like that, you'd have, you wouldn't be able to see over the land right in front of you.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
So even if that just affirms the presence of people at the very best presence of people who had been that far inland to identify different features and stuff like that.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
Dude, I just did a little reading. They were talking about how a bunch of the old maps depicted like mythical type creatures from what they believed Antarctica was. But doesn't that make sense with the other creatures that were spotted on the coastline of Patagonia? Yeah, the giants and stuff? Yeah, so if there was like a land bridge or something like that.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis

How did we get the whole taking from wherever it was and then bringing it to the bottom?
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
I wonder what the word for fill the earth for earth is there. I wonder too. Because their knowledge of the entire globe was limited then. Or was it? I don't know. But that would have been a weird commandment had it been a very regional understanding if we're to understand that as globe.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
It's not fallen angels. It's like their spawn.

Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
No, they are. You just have to be very equipped to answer them. That's the hardest part about the things that we talk about is we'll say one little thing, and then, like, audience, you need to understand, we're having open dialogue. Some of this we've researched. Some of this we are just shooting from the hip. Josh puts down a script. Yeah. But there are implications.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
The smallest little comment about there being a civilization, we haven't put in necessarily all the thought to think about the implications of how it all aligns with every scripture. This is open dialogue. This is a podcast.
Ninjas Are Butterflies
125 - Bankrupting Zuckerberg, Ancient Map Mystery & Finding Atlantis
Yes. That Noah's Ark ran over all of the fallen angels.

I'm going to Talladega this weekend, and I've been told, as someone that's been close to the cars in Homestead and feeling the power in your chest, that it feels like Armageddon is circling by you every lap at Talladega because it's a super speedway. This is going to be my first super speedway race. What are the details?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Shot For Your Life: Jordan or Jokic?
Yeah, yeah. No, DraftKings actually, like... This whole thing came about because DraftKings knew that I wanted to go, and they made something happen very late for my friends and I, so I'm going to be out there giving some picks. I'm camping out the entire weekend at Talladega Super Speedway, going to the Justin Moore concert, going to hang out with the Alabama football team at the Xfinity Series.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Shot For Your Life: Jordan or Jokic?
I'm super excited about this because, like I said, it's a super speedway. Talladega, for me, everyone feels a certain way about the Brickyard and feels a certain way about Daytona. The Talladega race is the most unpredictable race. It's the most dangerous race. You're going to probably have several big ones there. Super Speedway racing is quite random. It's just pure chaos.

But also, the big draw for Talladega is it is the biggest party in the circuit. People will show their buttholes if you ask them to. Okay, that's unnecessary. Asking them might be unnecessary because they just spread the show. It's an odd ask. It's about the buttholes. I'm telling you, this is a thing. Unneeded. I've said this on so many corporate Zooms.

And everyone's like, yes, no, it's a thing. That's not an inappropriate question to ask. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Shot For Your Life: Jordan or Jokic?
Yeah. Oh, the Marvel movies. You can't say that. You can't say that about the Marvel movies, that they keep getting better. You can absolutely say that, at least in terms of a timeline. Keep in mind, this franchise has been around for like 30 years now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Shot For Your Life: Jordan or Jokic?
Only better. Fast and the Furious doesn't have 30 years. How many times has Tyrese been disavowed by the government? I mean, seriously, come on. I guess you know where I stand, but in your opinion, and please let it not be Fast and Furious, what is the greatest action film franchise of all time?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Shot For Your Life: Jordan or Jokic?

GameTime is the official ticketing partner of the Dan Levitard Show with Stu Gatz. I am Mike Ryan, and as you know on this show, I am often touting GameTime because I believe in this product. And as a play-in tournament begins this week, why don't you head on over to GameTime? As a Miami Heat fan, I've got plenty of great experiences with that play-in tournament.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Shot For Your Life: Jordan or Jokic?
A lot of good runs started in this play-in tournament. Might be a little frustrated that they're always in the play-in tournament, but that's a story for another day. The good news is GameTime makes getting tickets to that play-in tournament faster and easier, even for hard-to-get playoff seats. Prices on the GameTime app may actually go down the closer it gets to tip-off.

Can I underrail you and get you back on the subject of NBA coaches? Because the Athletic put out their, they do this thing every year where they get a bunch of people to vote on like most overrated player and it's like other NBA players voting on it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
I don't know him. I'm sorry. You're in the same stable. Walter Hawkins. Wow, that went poorly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
And one of the questions that they asked, there were 73 players that voted on this and said, aside from your own current coach, who is the worst coach in the league? So I was reading all of the results to all of these questions last night to Lehman, and I got to this one, and I was like, I don't know who this person is. So they must be the worst coach because I've never heard of them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
And I said their name to him, and he watches a ton of basketball, and he's like, I've never heard of this man in my life. But do you guys know who Brian Keefe is? No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
No. No, I don't know who Brian Keefe is. Is this anybody? No. No. Who is Brian Keefe?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
Apparently he's the head coach of the Wizards.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
What? He must be really bad at that. He must be really bad at doing that. Poor guy. But when he loses his job, he's not going to be talking to his wife saying, I think we need to take our daughter out of ballet. He's a rich guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
That's a wits and wagers question. Have you guys ever played the board game wits and wagers?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
Oh, my God. It's so great, Dan. It's a game where there's like these questions and every answer is a number. So it's like what percentage of American families own a dog? What percentage of Americans have tattoos? What year was the Sistine Chapel painted? Like things like that where it has to be an answer that's a number.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
I'm going to ask him if he knows who you are.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
And then you write down your guess on a little whiteboard and you put it all in the middle. Everyone lines it up from smallest to biggest. And then you wager on whose number is closest. And once you get going, you get a lot of money in the bank and you start wagering more and more. And you're like, I know what year the Mona Lisa was painted. I'm betting the house on this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
But you can also put a fake number and try to get people off the set. Because if my sister's playing with me and I'm like, she knows I know my art history and whatever number I put down is going to be close. I'm going to put down a different number. Then we can play mind games with each other. It's the greatest game on Earth. But this pet question was one of them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
It is ginormous. And the other thing that was in it, how much do you think a gallon of milk weighs? How much do you think it weighs? Weighs?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
Wrong. You would have lost. I would have wagered the over and I would have won because it's like eight pounds. Really? It's crazy. This game blows my mind consistently.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
That's insane. That's insane.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
But there are families that if you lose their job, that is one more mouth to feed that that service that feeds my dog is on auto pay. You know, you're going to look at every single itemized thing in your bill and look at where to cut. And some people will settle on. Yeah, I can't have my dog anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
He's right about that. I mean, he's right.

Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
Well, if you... I got that dog in me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
It would have been so good if you nailed it. You have a dog in you? The and at, very important. You have a dog inside of you.

He was so unfamiliar with the term that he was like, that surely has to be improper grammar.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
There is a dog that is fully inside me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
I like that there's some like scenario in an alternate universe where like Roy and Jeremy have never worked on the same day and they've never heard of each other.

the people that had to drive a far distance moved me because I would not have done the same for them.

Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
It's a hard drive. Some people were on a red-eye that morning.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
Some people showed up off a red-eye from Vegas, and they looked pretty tired. And I said, hmm, I'm surprised you're here. But then I realized this is a hair-of-the-dog situation. You've got to keep it rolling. Because as soon as you hit the pillow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
PK3. A little TSO. But I was very tired. I was very tired. And I definitely needed that drink. But I also said, this means a lot to me. And it was just a normal Tuesday where we could drink, but that's all it was. Hey, let's go out and have a couple of drinks. I'm like, I need to be here for this because I love drinks. I have a dog inside of me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
Well, the reality is owning a pet is really expensive. If something goes wrong, like I know Mike's dog had to get a really expensive surgery done. And a lot of people are in the position where they're like, my dog is sick. They go to the vet. The vet's like... We need to do this like emergency surgery.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
If you don't like your dog's going to die or your cat's going to die and it's going to cost 10 grand and maybe you don't have that money just laying around. Most people don't. And yeah, I could easily see why you'd go into debt paying for something, especially when it's like a life or death situation. You care about your pet and you don't know what to do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
Did go into debt paying for my dog who had an autoimmune disease. And it was life-saving, but she got it within the first eight months of her life. It turned out to be great because she's lived a happy and full life there. But it was $10,000 to save my dog's life in a single-income family. It wasn't easy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
Very well trimmed beard. Is he better looking than Method Man? I wouldn't say that. Oh, wow. So we're just 0 for 2 now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
I loved Mike Patrick on ACC Basketball. Did a lot of great memorable games with Dick Vitale. I saw Dick Vitale posted a tribute to Mike Patrick when he was the voice of Sunday Night Football paired with Joe Theismann. And I know people had some feelings and they were replaced. But for me...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
That was when I was in high school watching Sunday night football and it was marquee game and he was the voice attached to it. And he was one of my favorites. I love that broadcast team. I thought they were hilarious. I love Mike Patrick's style of doing those games. So I was made very sad by that. I know he hadn't been doing it for a while.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
And yeah, it's just another reminder that the older that you get, the more of these people that have had influence on your life, on your career even, are going to go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
There's an update. There's an update. And this is a segment I like to call Mike Was Right. I love those. Do you want to do it as a victory lap? No, no, no, no. Especially, do I have to? Don't make me. I don't want to. I don't want to pretend I'm running. So George Clooney, who has a dye job, but is famously a salt and pepper guy, owns the gray look.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
There might be a reason for that. There might be a reason that that type of broadcaster that reminds you of, hey, they could be doing this with a cocktail in their hands. It's because they probably were back then because it was more acceptable. And we're never getting those guys back. Guys with that vibe don't exist anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
No, I don't think so. I remember there was a website that fired Joe Morgan was a blog that popped up. When I was in high school, it wasn't so much social media, but it was these blogs. And Mike Patrick got replaced from Sunday Night Football because people felt a certain way about him. And then his assignments started getting worse and worse as he got older.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
And then social media came along and then you realize, oh, people don't feel the way that I feel about Mike Patrick, who I thought was generally awesome. And I just miss the time where, yeah, people had their opinions maybe, but they weren't just totally pushed into those opinions because of social media just trying to gather steam behind a take.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
I thought broadcasting when I was growing up was amazing. I didn't have any bad opinions about anybody. Hell, man, I thought Phil Simms was good. And now you open up the internet and you find out, like, wait, no one thinks anyone is good? This is kind of bullshit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
So I think that there's a few guys. And I think Buck is coming out of the other side. He's not nearly as polarizing because now he's been around for over a generation. The people that are tastemakers right now were kids growing up recognizing that Joe Buck is the soundtrack of a big game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
He's had a I don't give a shit vibe for the last six years that I think has resonated.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
And I think that Harlan... Joe Tess, Bob O'Shuzan on the hockey side, Joe Buck. Iron Eagle. Spiro Didis. Well, no one can say Mo'Ally Cox the way that Spiro Didis can. One o'clock window, Mo'Ally Cox! That's Spiro Didis. But yeah, there's a few guys there. You're not true, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Everyone here yesterday was having a go for him, not considering that, hey, George Clooney is doing this for a role. So here is him giving an interview to Gayle King talking about the dye job in question.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
You'll never hear a woman on this list. I was going to say Doris Burke. Even if they're amazing at their job.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
I mean, where are we in life if everyone's having a go at George Clooney's appearance? Like, really? This guy could have perennially been sexiest man on the planet for several years running. He's a charming devil. Even look at how self-deprecating he is there. I might have just fallen in love with dyed hair George Clooney because I've long since been in love with Silver Fox George Clooney.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
He needs a little wispy mustache to go with it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
It's like when people do those viral stunts where they're like, we pretended to be homeless for a day to see how people, it's like George Clooney's pretending to be ugly. And now he's living his life as someone who's not hot. And it's, wow, he's like, this is terrible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
Your dad. That was my father. Your dad would like stun me with his eyebrows.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
You can't do that. You can't go night to day. You've got to either stay on top of it or progress. That's shocking. Remember when Vince McMahon came out of hiding? She's like, whoa, why does he look like he's about to welcome you into a haunted mansion?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
It's got some gray on the sideburns, but no, my dad is often accused of dying his hair, and I'd be all over that, too. I've been trying to prove this one for a long time. No, not the case. Although, lots of Botox.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
Greg Williams did it too, though. That may be the way to come out of hiding.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
It's been suggested on the internet that this thin mustache was put in place to cover up a botch of some sort. Because if you've seen him since, he's done away with the mustache, and he looks much better than he did now. Like, if you look around the lip, it is a little puffy. I think that this was a disguise to distract you from what was going on underneath.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
I thought you were going to say that's what he apologized for when you started saying he apologized. I was like, oh, okay, I'm glad he thought about it for a few seconds and was like, yeah, that was crazy. It's much better to get fired with millions of dollars than what the vast majority of people get, which is a swift kick in the ass out the door.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
If Samson had merely said what Stan Van Gundy was saying, he might not have been invited back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
Oh, please. Yes, he would.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
Okay. Well, he said things similar. But even Samson texted me afterwards. He said way worse. Samson texted me afterwards. He's like, I've never even thought that. That is like so crazy. So we even asked him, have you ever been fired from a job where you haven't been paid millions of dollars? And he cited Wisconsin. And we did some research.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
He apparently had four years left on a five-year deal when he was fired from Wisconsin. However, all of the articles in the Trib are paywalled, and I can't find an exact number, but I'm assuming they paid out his contract.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
So maybe it wasn't millions, but... Now, I don't want to be tone-deaf to the shame that comes with being fired. Like, I've never had to deal with Shams tweeting out that I've been fired, and then people say, like, yet. Well, knock on wood. But there's that, where you get a nice little multi-million dollar compensation package, or the shame of your family leaving you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
and not being able to afford a roof over your head, or heat in the winter, or we have to give up the dog because I can't pay for the dog's food anymore, or asking a friend for a ride for work, or explaining this gap in your resume when you're trying to get another job. I mean, there is no comparison.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
Greg, just a question. May seem random to you. Who's more handsome, Andrew Hawkins or Method Man?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
Because you don't have to. It doesn't have to be the first thing you think about. Because if you're in one of these extremely lucrative jobs, it's probably not something you think about. And that's the luxury of being fired with one of these high paying jobs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Greg Cote Has A Dog Inside Him
By the way, I was saying he wasn't a good coach when he won coach of the year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
I think the statement is, top to bottom, this is the deepest Florida Panther team that we've seen in a while. Roy's absolutely right. They can go five lines deep. You guys are saying they're deeper than last year. You're saying they're better than last year, is what you're saying. No, I'm not saying that they're better than last year. I'm just flatly saying they're deeper. I mean, we'll see.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
Florida last year was a nightmare to play with. Can they ratchet up that kind of intensity? They have a more flair type of wingers this year than last year. Last year, they had some goons, especially on that fourth line. This year, your fourth line is Evan Rodriguez and Jesper Boquiz, which is...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
insane to me uh your third liner has Brad Marchand's a third liner and he's by far the worst forward of that three oh here we are again I don't think he was good I don't think he was good you were still yelling about this before the show I gotta talk to you if Brad Marchand's name wasn't Brad Marchand and it was say for example AJ Greer we'd be wondering why does this guy get so much playing time
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
I saw the shot near post that created the goal that was actually created by Lusty, and then Schmidt just cleaned it up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
No, it's a whole thing. He's going to get opportunities because he's playing with good players, and I don't think his output would be better than Jesper, for example. Or Evan Rodriguez. Evan Rodriguez led the Stanley Cup final in goals. And he's a fourth liner on this team right now. My whole thing with Brad Marchand is he's just not the same player.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

And if his name wasn't that, we'd be feeling a little differently about it.

You can't start. That was a good pull by Dan. Unexpected. Guys, I just played Pearl Jam. It was giving to fly. It's a very soft song. Sometimes I'm with you. I'll be listening to death metal occasionally, but today I am pacing myself. In fact, you're the one putting the cart before the horse. I still think this is going to be a very long series.

Terrible penalty. I'm not going to be that guy. It's fine. It's what Chucky does. What are we doing here? We still owe Kucherov a little something. There's a receipt coming his way.

Some of them. That's not about racism. That's just about complaining. It takes all of us.

Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
I've always... Like over the last few years, it took a couple of like deeper runs, especially with the Panthers getting good in hockey. That helped. But it's not the Super Bowl for me. It's certainly not March Madness for me because the games don't actually live up. To me, this is the best time on the sports calendar. You have both playoffs starting their first rounds.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
You have four game nights in both leagues going off. You have the NFL draft. Hell, you've got Talladega going on this week. You just had WrestleMania. You're coming off the Masters. This month of sports, to me, is why I love it so much. You have big-time European soccer games. All of it, all happening at the same time.

Zaslow has privately mocked my dad for years. He's doing it. He's like, you know, even like when we're all on the same topic, he'll still like inject, you know, the audience hates this shit. That sucks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
Understood. But you did ask him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
I do think, and Dan's guilty of this, I think everybody is. People tend to confuse journalists and insiders or personalities. Even though I own, for example, I own a Canes media company. We do a... We do a fair amount of journalism, really good journalism. I don't think there's anybody that covers the Miami Hurricanes top to bottom better than us. But I myself am not a journalist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
I vet things through journalism means, especially like when I get involved in some of that story. But I never pretend to. I didn't go to journalism school. I don't have the bona fides. I'm an insider, I guess. Sure. And I apply those rules. But I think all too often we lump people into journalism and also into journalism.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
And also people are way too comfortable calling themselves journalists when they're not. Right. I think that is an earned title. It's like calling myself a doctor just because, you know, I bandaged somebody up one time. I think that there is a procedure that you go through. Yeah.

He went to school. He's a columnist in this market for a long time. I get that. It might be a bygone era.

I know parts of the audience get annoyed when I hijack this show with Cain's takes on Buckle up because Kevin is going to espouse all sorts of like anti-SEC things too. Like he's going to take advantage of his audience there. I'm so excited to watch Kevin do this. And I know like Kevin relishes this opportunity. This is like a holy grail assignment. for Kevin Clark.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
He's going to give his takes, which are very pro-Miami, but the way that he does things, it's so matter of fact and dry that I'm going to really enjoy him doing that to an SEC-heavy audience.

He's not going there for that purpose.

You're a homer. Whoa, come on. I think it's part of what's baked in as a local columnist. You're supposed to give an impartial view. A fair view. But you do kind of, it's all through the prism of like, we're in this together. We're rooting for this. When FAU makes it to the final four, people know that you have a relationship with that school. You wear it.

I think school ties, even though, I mean, Stephen A. Smith is the biggest Knicks fan on television. When it comes to university pride, that stuff has long since been accepted. We understand this bias.

Thank you, guys. Did you? Did you piss yourself? Yeah, man, I pissed myself. It's a great segment we got here. Nothing wrong with that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
As a nod to Wilbon. Get out of here. I want to track back to something that Jess said because it's such a bygone era here in the United States. But I was wrong. There are impartial journalists. I know Bruce Feldman went to Miami, but you can't tell really from his reporting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
all that much i mean he might have an inside scoop on chris ball here and there but it is disguised at the top line but also this is very american when i think to following european football journalists or even like studio personalities the player analysts you understand that they have a pledge to their to their badge because of who they played for but the impartial analyst you have to go you have to do some serious digging to find out who they which clubs they support and i actually appreciate that and we have kind of lost our way here

That's strange. I mean, they beat them in five games last year on their way to a Stanley Cup, their second straight Stanley Cup appearance in the final. So, I mean, I understand what you're saying because Tampa was so dynastic. But this is, I mean, Florida's already had like a three-year run.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
He was the second best 88 on the ice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
That was a different Panther team. Florida actually did quite well against Vasileski last season. I'm always going to have that PTSD, so I'm with you. But I don't think you're allowed to be surprised by it anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
And maybe what you're doing is 30 years in this market covering this team, understanding that this is such an outlier on their timeline as a franchise, as a whole, that any kind of success still is bewildering. But at a certain point when it comes to these two teams, we have to realize that the dynamic has shifted some. That being said, Tampa has home ice in this series for a reason. Not anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
Well, not anymore. But Tampa retooled their roster. They got rid of Sergeyev. They got rid of Stamkos. They brought in Gensel. They have more guys playing the best hockey of their careers right now after that reshaping of their roster. So this is still going to be a long series, I think.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
I don't think anybody was. Yeah, but look, they're power play merchants. You have to stay out of the box. When Florida has had success against Tampa in the playoffs, it's because they played disciplined hockey. Last night, those two teams weren't even remotely close. Forsling was doing the same things to Kucherov that he'd been doing his entire career. That guy has Kucherov in absolute hell.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
I think for me, the biggest surprise, outside of Nate Schmidt playing a good hockey game and scoring two goals randomly, was how sharp Matthew Kucherov looked. That goal that he had in the crease where he just had Vasilevsky having no idea where he was going to go, that kind of puck. 14 more times.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: You Gotta Be Schmidtin' Me
He stood there just going back and forth. And he had so much room in front of him. I think that's the thing. Like, Tampa's going to have to... They'll have a day to adjust, and I imagine they'll have a different defensive effort, but they were a bit of a nightmare with those passing lanes.

I'm not certain I care about the old All-Star game. So like for me, I could do if all the sports decided, hey, you know what? No more All-Star games. No more All-Star break. Everyone take a couple of days off to a week off. I'd be good with that because I'm not a fan of it anyway. Even in its oldest form, I was never a fan of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game or the NBA All-Star Game.

Right. You had Carl Anthony Towns winning a couple of years ago.

Das war ein sehr knappes Spiel. Und dann ist es nicht mehr so. Und das ist nicht, weil sie ein paar Drei gespielt haben. Das ist das Wichtigste. Sie haben sie nicht ausgelassen, weil sie ein paar Drei gespielt haben. Das ist das Gegenteil. Ich glaube, sie haben nur 25 Spiele gespielt. Ich glaube, es waren 21.

Sie haben sie in die Farbe gebracht, sie haben sie auf dem offensiven Glas gebracht.

I don't know what you're doing. You're just isolating a very small sample. Three out of the last four games is a pretty big sample. Alright, well, are you cherry-picking the series that went seven? No, no, no. It's a weird hill to die on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Takes a Step Back
Yeah, the ones on the road. Playoff games have been blown. The Panthers are a wagon. The Panthers are a wagon and Carolina is going to struggle this series because they can't score goals. They've been struggling to score goals. quite honestly for years. They tried to address it with Mikko Rantanen. Mikko got there for 11 games, said, I don't want to stay here.

Gets traded to Dallas and carries them to the Western Conference Finals. Carolina, that was a very odd game because Florida did not play very well in that game. Carolina Tougher team, but really amplified the shenanigans, I thought. And going after Bobrovsky, every play going out of their way to put an elbow on Bobrovsky. Probably shook him up a little bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Takes a Step Back
I know Chris Nowinski is already alleging assault on Twitter when it came to one of those Bob altercations. What Ghost does to Marchand is just hit a slap shot right at Marchand in the middle of the ice. That's probably going to get reviewed. But I think you see a Carolina team that is very limited.

Sie versuchen die Dark Arts zu verändern, um zu sehen, ob sie das mit den Florida Panthers machen können. Und das ist ein schlechtes Team, um die Dark Arts zu verändern, weil sie die Dark Arts perfektiert haben. Also je mehr du das tust, desto mehr gehst du in Florida's Game. Und ich dachte nur, das war das Spiel, das Carolina brauchte. Das könnte schnell schlecht werden.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Takes a Step Back
Und das könnte eine von diesen schlechten Series sein, die du bemerkst, solange Carolina etwas, eine Inspiration offensiv findet. Sie haben kein einziges Tor mit ihren Stöcken gespielt. Beide Tore wurden eingepackt. Einer war ein Powerplay-Goal, der ruckte, und der erste sollte nicht flach gelaufen sein. Ajo hat sich sogar zurückgeschaut. Das war so seltsam.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Takes a Step Back
Ich dachte, Paul wusste die Vibe des Spiels. Er wollte nicht riskieren, die nächste Pause mit einem Powerplay zu starten und wirklich in das Spiel zu kommen. Wenn du mit einem Goal in die zweite Pause gehst, spielst du bereits Panther-Hockey. So I get why he didn't do it, because Florida was really controlling that game and it was a bit of a fluky goal.

Florida spielt wie Scheiße, weshalb Carolina in dieser Serie in echt schlechten Form ist, denn Florida muss nicht ihr bestes Spiel spielen. Sie spielten das Spiel, das Carolina wollte spielen.

Aber ich habe das auf anderen Podcast-Ausstellungen gesagt, die Playoffs waren ein Flattrack für Carolina.

Ja, und Florida ist seit einem Monat und einem halben Jahr am tiefsten Punkt des Pooles. Und sie fahren es immer noch. Ich weiß, Russ vs. Russ ist eine Diskussion, aber sie waren einen Tag und einen halben Zeit entfernt von einem Sieg 7.

Sie haben schon eine Weile intensives Hockey gespielt. Und Carolina ist einfach nur durch eine sehr flotte Strecke. Und sie haben gestern gelernt, dass man es auf einen anderen Niveau nehmen muss. Und sie haben es überkompensiert. Sie haben Dinge geforstet, sie haben Dinge gefeuert, sie haben sich mit Penalitäten beschäftigt.

Offensiv? Offensiv? Jarvis ist ein guter Spieler. Er ist wahrscheinlich der Vorwärter, den ich am stärksten befürchte. Ajo hat diese Tendenz, wirklich zu verschwinden. Ich meine, wirklich verschwinden. Und wo Toronto den Erfolg in der Serie gegen Florida gefunden hat, war das Screening von Bob. Dort vorne zu kommen.

Und Mikola hat sich einfach mit dem Toronto-Series in der Mitte entschieden, dass er das nicht mehr tun wird. Und wenn es letzte Nacht einen Spieler gesehen hätte, wäre es Mikola, vorne bei Sergej Bobrowski im Netz. Er hätte absoluten Joust-Matches mit jedem Führer, der ihm geführt wurde. Es war verrückt. Es gab unmittelbare Gewalt vor Sergej Bobrovskis Nett. Und Mikula hat die Glocke geöffnet.

Weil was er da mit dem Schlapper auf Morshan gemacht hat, und schau, ich dachte, der Ref hat es richtig gemacht, in Bezug auf das Kicken Morshan aus dem Spiel. Du musst diesen Jungen aus dem Spiel bringen, wenn du die Chance hast. Das war ein sehr gefährliches Spiel. Brad Martian könnte wirklich verletzt werden.

Er hat einen Schuss drei Füße entfernt von ihm im Zentrum des Eis geschlagen und hat seinen oberen Körper verletzt. Spieler-Sicherheit muss hier involviert werden. Sonst, wie die Panthers es bereits erwähnt haben, werden sie die Gerechtigkeit in ihre eigenen Hände nehmen.

Marshawn ging in, hatte hohe Sticks, war ein bisschen furchtbar, aber man kann es verstehen. Brad fragte sich, ob er hier versucht hat, mich zu töten. Was ist das für ein Punkt? Es war ein sehr gefährliches Spiel.

You're saying this team is better than the team that won the championship. I think this team is deeper to be determined if they're better. I think defensively they were a little bit more stout last year, particularly along the blue line. But in terms of talent, dating back to the President's Trophy team, I think this is the deepest Florida Panther team that we've seen. Ja, das stimmt.

Die Marcian-Sache, wie viele es als Verrücktheit bezeichnet haben, Florida hat so viele tolle Winger. Schaut euch mal an, wer in den Playoff-Punkten bei 5-on-5-Hockey der Leader ist. Das ist Lusserainen. Gajewicz antwortet Bell. Wenn Boquist da ist,

Wir haben Mackie noch nie gesehen in diesen Playoffs. Ich glaube, er ist einer der mehr talentierten Spieler für Florida. Es ist ein Verlust für Florida. Und es ist ein sehr schwieriges Spiel für Carolina.

Nein, nein, nein. Oh, jetzt hast du ihn gewechselt? Nein, nein, nein. Das habe ich immer gesagt. Ich denke, das ist Teil dessen, weshalb Marchand es umgekehrt hat. Sobald er auf diese Linie eingestiegen ist, hat diese Linie einen Sparplug. Es war sehr konsistent in den drei Jahren dieser Runde für Florida. Man könnte immer auf Lundell und Luserainen zählen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Takes a Step Back
Und jetzt hat Luserainen es ein bisschen erhöht. Er hat sich viel Geld verdient. Halt, wenn sie es in die Finale machen, Luce Reynon hat einen Argument, Conn Smythe zu sein. Das ist verrückt. Wenn wir in dieser Serie finnische Spieler draften, kann ich Aho zum Schluss nehmen, weil er so wenig in diesen großen Momenten zeigt. Das ist verrückt. Er ist fertig.

Sie haben nicht einen Tor verpasst. Jeder schießt. Ihre Goon-Line schießt. Und sie haben wirklich talentierte Winger, die sich nicht gerade für dieses Team befinden. Sie werden viel Geld verdienen, wenn sie in den offenen Markt kommen. Boquist könnte auch Geld verdienen, wenn er ein Freie Agent ist. Ich weiß, dass Mackey wahrscheinlich einige Offer bekommen wird. Er hat einen brillanten Zukunft.

Florida hat viel Bedeutung. Wir werden sehen, ob sie besser sind. Besonders, wenn sie Edmonton spielen, weil Edmonton ein bisschen wie ein Wagen aussieht. Wenn du ein Panther-Fan bist, wie ich bin, dann bin ich für Dallas in dieser Serie, weil ich denke, es ist Edmontons Zeit.

Es ist wirklich interessant, während dieser Panther-Runde, sie haben es als 8-Sieger gemacht, die es glücklich gemacht haben, in die Playoffs zu kommen. Dann haben sie es als Team gemacht, die im Home-Ice waren, während der Playoffs. Und jetzt sind es diese Road-Warriors, die nicht einen einzigen Home-Ice-Effekt haben werden, während der Playoffs.

Er erinnert mich sehr an Paul George, auch nur ein bisschen schneller. Ja, er mag es wahrscheinlich nicht, weil SGA hier wahrscheinlich einen MVP gewinnen wird. Aber zu deinem originalen Punkt, das Bild klingt, als würde es von Leuten aussehen, die es nicht wirklich beobachten. Vielleicht würden sie sich in den Casual Observern befinden. Ich weiß, weil ich das schon mal über SGA gehört habe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Takes a Step Back
Weil OKC, seitdem sie aus Seattle geflogen sind, ist es mir egal, ob ich dieses Team schaue. Es ist einfach etwas über den Markt. Sie fühlen sich nie großartig. Aber man kann das letzte Spiel nicht schauen, auch wenn es auf Mute war. Und nicht wirklich von seinem Stil überrascht werden. Wenn du einer von diesen, oh, bring back 90s Basketball-Typen, dann ist es da. Es ist in der SGA entworfen.

Du bist einfach... Es gibt zwei Jungs in dieser Serie, die den 90er-Style zurückbringen. Ant ist einfach viel explosiver. Das ist auch lustig. Es gab Jungs in den 90ern, die man nicht vertrauen konnte, aber man kann natürlich ihren Athletismus vertrauen. Er ist wie Sean Kemp auf dem Perimeter. Und Edwards ist so ein 3-Punkte-Schütze geworden.

Ich würde mich interessieren, ob es OKC New York ist, was die Ratings sein werden. Weil du hast diesen Monster-Markt in New York, der die Casuals ausdrückt. Aber Leute, die Basketball in den 90ern genossen haben, können sich vielleicht an Shea Alexander erinnern. Aber auch die Knicks sind ein 90er Team. Ja.

Von dem Stil her, Brunson ist wie ein moderner Allen Iverson, mit dem Weg, wie er größer spielt, als er eigentlich ist. Ich würde mich sehr interessieren, wie das rät. Natürlich werden wir wahrscheinlich Indiana und Minnesota bekommen, mit der Glück der Liga.

Ich denke, das beste mögliche Ding für SGA, wenn er in die Finals kommt, ist, gegen New York zu gehen. Weil das ist der absolute Launchpad. Das macht ihn ein Star.

Oder vielleicht sogar Pacers vs. Anyone. Ich denke, OKC braucht die Knicks. Minnesota, Anthony Edwards... Jeder braucht die Knicks. Ja, aber ich denke, OKC vs. Indiana wäre wahrscheinlich der schlechteste Match-Up.

Sag ja. Was ich liebe an den Pacers und den Knicks Rivalität historisch ist, dass die Knicks immer der Villain sind. Jedes Mal, wenn sie sich gegen ein Team verbinden, weil sie von Gotham sind. But the Pacers historically have always leaned into wearing the black hat in that series. Yes, Knicks versus Knicks. And it doesn't matter how many years have passed, they're doing it again.

This was supposed to be a communal thing. I guess I'm on the line of more traditional, and they were really going for something that was really different, and I guess it works for some people.

No, not really. I like Camden Yards, dude. I like Comerica. I like other ballparks. I don't like this one.

The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Yeah, I love the location. Look, I think I've been to most of the MLB ballparks. And this one is just not for me. If you like it, I'm not going to hold it against you. I just fancy, you know, 20 other ballparks more than this one. And I guess I'm more of a traditionalist when it comes to ballparks. I've never had a good time in that place.

And famously, Dan, you went at Major League Baseball for not doing their due diligence and making sure that this was not something that the ownership group overextended itself. And part of the business plan was that they were going to cut because they did overextend themselves. I don't want to pick at old wounds anymore. I want to talk to you as a former team president, though.

I guess he's okay now, so we can kind of laugh at it, but Tracy Morgan vomited courtside at Madison Square Garden, which will probably be a meme forevermore, as well as his photo of him recuperating. But how from a team ops perspective, Tracy Morgan throwing up courtside is probably treated differently than a regular Joe Schmo is such that they are sitting courtside would be treated.

How do you think those conversations go? How would they have gone if something similar were to happen in your line of work?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
It's just unnecessary. It actually seems pretty necessary given the times. But I'm wondering if you've ever had a similar situation with a VIP. It doesn't necessarily have to be someone throwing up, but have you ever had an issue, health-related or some other type of issue around a VIP that was in one of your ballparks?

At just 96 calories and 3.2 grams per 12 ounces, Miller time is always a good time. The original light beer since 1975 and still the very best one. Miller Lite. Great taste. 96 calories.

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here?

Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
I don't feel like a jilted ex-lover. I don't. I feel like it's like the Tom Brady quote about his marriage. They put on a joint statement, our marriage did not fail. It was a successful marriage. I think I'm pretty confident unless he has an Andre Iguodala type finals that's paired up with a Steph Curry type finals where he wins an MVP in an NBA finals.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
He's going to be remembered as a member of the Miami Heat. When people close their eyes and they think of Jimmy Butler, the image that they're probably going to get is him bent over a scorer's table saying, in the bubble in a Miami Heat uniform. He went to two finals down here. It was a great time. He proved that he can be the best player on the team that went to multiple finals.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
And I'm very secure in it, and I'm actively rooting for him to win that championship so that can't be held against his brilliant career.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
Yeah, he's going to be great, I think, for them during this window, and then maybe next season it won't be as great, and then it'll just keep declining. I think he's got one more run in him, and I'm hopeful to see that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
I think if they have a good run and he's really good in the postseason, then even though it's part of the narrative down here locally, people will look back on his time, especially if he becomes an NBA champion, and his time in a Heat uniform will be remembered for the Miami Heat specifically. failing him, and that'll become the narrative.

not pictured Commissioner Gordon. Dan, first and foremost, let me say I'm proud of you and the growth that you've made over the last week on journalistic responsibility. That's huge. I'm glad that you corrected Sam on saying that. That wasn't fair to label Draymond Green as mentally ill. That is great work out of you. And also, Sam, I'm pretty sure you'd love Draymond.

if he were a New York Knick. There's so many of those guys. There's one in Brad Marchand and Matthew Kachuk also on the Florida Panthers that you hate them if they're not on your team. You love them if they're on yours.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
I mean, Jimmy's a different type of player. He brings more to the table offensively. But Draymond, he has his role offensively. I get what you're saying. And look, it's working now. We'll see what happens in the playoffs.

What's the longest Jimmy Butler has ever been paired on a team with someone that is obviously greater than him? the flash that D. Wade had, no pun intended, in Chicago.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
He gravitated towards Wade, and it was the vets against the young guys, but he was still younger in his career, and everybody knew that Dwayne Wade was historically the greater player then. Then in Philadelphia, you can argue that Embiid was the better player on that team, but that was a short-term deal. So Kind of blessed in his career.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

He rubs people the wrong way, but he also has the benefit of being able to do that while he is very clearly the alpha of the team.

That's Perk being Perk. Perk goes at people like that all the time, and I don't actually think they have to work together. It seems like they're licensing TNT's coverage, right? So they get to operate in their silo. They don't actually ever have to interface with ESPN's NBA team, which history tells us will change again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
It's cute for Perkins to get involved in there, and I understand where he's coming from and defending himself, but I'm old enough to remember NBA finals that John Barry was a key analyst for it. You know, like Jalen, Antonio Davis, they come and go. And, you know, it's very transient over there. And if they actually have an anchor in TNT's coverage, I would...

Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
Local governments misappropriate funds all the time. It's one thing to say flatly that that money was used for a waste when you have no idea what that money would have gone to. You can have an idea, but you also have less say in the matter when this is something that was actually on the ballot.

I'm saying that stadium referendums are one of the few times that you can actually vote on these things and you can actually see whether or not and decide whether or not this is a good allocation when a lot of times they do stuff with autonomy or just commissioners do it. My big issue was they got the stadium, they cried poor, and then they sold the team that they spent a lot of money for.

Right then and there. They made the Blue Jays trade, which I know in retrospect they ended up winning, but we don't need to litigate all this stuff.

PK, all of American hockey Twitter is trying to give Jake Sanderson food poisoning here in the next couple hours so Quinn Hughes can play in this game.

Absolutely, because of the internet. There's a social media comedian named Mark Phillips, Supreme Dreams, who points this out is that it's hard to do sketch comedy shows today because there are so many at home comedians and sketch artists that when something happens, almost immediately you see a sketch on it.

It should be Saturday Night Taped. And that was the evolution that they missed on. Favorite SNL sketch over the last 20 years? was the other Cavaliers that actually did make it into the show. You should look this sketch up. It's when LeBron was at his height in Cleveland, 2018, and they did like an intro to the other Cavs you never hear about.

Hour 1: Dan Will Not Respect Black History Month
That's where I think some of their strengths are is you just identified shows that didn't do too many. They're sketch comedy shows, but they didn't necessarily do topical. This is because they were taped so far before. And that's where SNL is really struggling. Yeah, I get it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Will Not Respect Black History Month
To be topical and vibrant with the way that SNL is known for, especially in the opening sketch, I can see where that's more difficult. But where they've really struggled, where they've lagged behind, are these benchmark characters that would spawn off movies. So they're just kind of lacking in that department right now.

You're asking this the day of the holiday party. I love holiday parties. I like celebrating a year that was, even if some places it's difficult. It's kind of like, hey, we made it through. It's a time for optimism. I like... gathering with folks. I typically don't. We spend a lot of time with one another here and we don't spend a lot of time away from the office together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
You said care deeply, and certainly in pockets, people care deeply, but I'm not one of those Panther fans that gets super defensive. We're building. There are plenty of reasons why this was a struggling hockey market, mostly on ownership after they moved into the new building. This is the first sustained run of excellence from this franchise. ever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
They've had outliers, a little flash in the pans, won a cup appearance in 1996, didn't do much with that momentum, moved to a new place. They had one year where they win the Atlantic and then they kind of disappear and fall off. So this team with its young core.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
I think, look, This franchise, had it built on the momentum of 96, we'd probably see something a little bit closer to Tampa, which is just one of the best hockey towns in the country. But that's not our story. And people want to make fun of the parade while it's raining. I look at that and it warms my heart because of where this franchise was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
We are so far beyond where we were, and we're still building. And I think another Cup run will just keep building on that success. And Roy, I'm curious your opinion, not just because you're wearing a Panthers jersey and you love hockey and you have the hockey show, but you've been there through the lean years. And this team...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
with its stars because it's been a pretty transient franchise it's not often that you have guys stick through several years guys like barkov who've been here who've grown into men who's he's still a young man but he's been here over a decade a guy that wants the sardom that wants a platform wants to grow the game like matthew kachuk these guys are building a connection with this town in ways that hockey teams only did in 1996 for a fleeting moment
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

So to be able to have a drink and lighten the mood and listen to some music, exchange some gifts, it's a great time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
It's a weird way to judge this. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Maybe even the Dolphins? No, that's never going to happen. Look, it's still difficult to walk into a sports bar in at least Miami-Dade County and find the TV on a Panther game. It's becoming more commonplace. You don't have to ask for it as much. I occasionally go into sports bars and they have the sound on for huge games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
I think it's building and a little bit of self-awareness. There's no way hockey ever matches the NFL in this town. But it did in Tampa, and they built on success over there. So it's not impossible in this state, but just as a market demographically, Tampa is much different than the Tri-County area down here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
That's a bit of a pipe dream, but it certainly challenged the Miami Heat in terms of local interest.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
that was happening the panthers had been eliminated from their bubble but i would say that yeah like dating back to three years ago the panthers if they were on at the same time the panthers would would get the sound we're going on an olympiad now where the panthers have usurped the the miami heat in in my opinion and the miami heat have had two two well two real deep runs uh two finals appearances uh in that time but the panthers have also had two finals appearances i
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
I just love the team. I love the connection with it. I love the sport. I think if you compare them in direct comparison with one another, they're going in opposite directions, the Miami Heat and the Florida Panthers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
No doubt. When he blocked Jason Tatum at the rim, that was Miami versus Boston. And Florida was out of the NHL playoffs in their bubble. No doubt. I was more of a Heat guy then, I guess. But in the years that followed, keep in mind, that was a while ago. I've become a Panther guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
Yeah, I don't think they've wrestled the 10 away. I still think hockey down here, in Miami-Dade County especially, it still has a way to go to even catch this fledgling Miami Heat incarnation across the street. It's still got a way to go, but I'm super fine with that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
I'm super cool with this really exciting time down here locally where you get to build on something and you bring more and more people to the tent. More and more people get introduced to the sport. There is nothing like
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
playoff hockey and i think optically too you see the ratings for the nba they're down the nba has a problem my chief problem with the nba i'll wear it is that i don't like this miami heat team i don't they're not interesting to me i'm sick of it i don't want to watch them anymore
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
In Mike's defense, he has been telling me this for years. Like,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
That's a fine. He has a checklist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
I mean, there is a cultural disconnect between, you know, Hispanic Miami Dade and hockey. It's just not, you know, they're more geared to baseball and football and even basketball down here. Hockey, they've never had a reason to care, and thankfully this franchise is giving them a reason to care. It's just, you know, they are most certainly Broward's team, and they lean into that footprint.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
Hopefully one day they can revitalize an area because their stadium's kind of out there near the Everglades a little bit, but it's not impossible. Look, Look, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been a really successful franchise. They have two Super Bowls in the last 25 years. They're often in the playoffs. If you go to Tampa, the flags hanging outside people's homes are blue and white.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
That is a hockey town.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
Well, one of the things that I think will be huge for their growth, because I'm sure they have all sorts of meetings and they bust open the books and they realize we have so much room for growth in Miami-Dade County. How do we get there? The reports are accurate. There is a winter classic coming to South Florida, coming to Lone Depot Park. next season. That potentially might pit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
A lot of the fans out there might suggest it's going to be Florida against one of its main rivals. It'd be great if it were the Tampa Bay Lightning because you get to draw from that market too. That is a huge moment in time if this Panther organization can keep that momentum going and it crescendos with this huge event down the street over there at Marlins Park.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
That'd be really cool because that's the first time hockey has come to Miami-Dade County since they left.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
But people still watch the sport. They're not checking out on the Dolphins. You listen to local sports talk radio. People are irate because they care. Why? Because the product is really good. So I do think that there is a small faction of hockey fans out here that will support the team through thick and thin, like I have, like Chris has, like Roy has. Like I have. Like you have.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
But people need to be clued into the fact that this sport is just terrific to watch. They need to be brought into the tent. They need to go into a bar where the sound is on and people are locked in and you're living and dying as a puck crosses a blue line every half second it feels like and your season is hanging on the edge of a blade. It's incredible. There's nothing like it. It's infectious.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Florida Panthers The Biggest Thing In Town?
But I do love the location. It would be a location that I'd probably be at tonight regardless because there's a huge Panther game on, and this is my favorite bar to watch hockey. The Wilds? Kaprizov.

Listen, boys, we got to talk about Jägermeister, a go-to guy at home, at the bar, or maybe even out at the rink. A drink so ice cold, it deserves its own video tribute at every sports bar across North America. No trash talk, no running its mouth. We love the confidence on them.

He has a value to it, he's assigned it, and that's what's most important, clearly. I'm saying, has it been... I'm just positing. Has it been a net negative for Aaron Rodgers?

You say whatever he wanted. Did he take any other shots at Jimmy Kimmel? Did he take any other shots at ESPN personalities? He was subtweeting maybe SportsCenter anchors, but I would say that that put a governor in place. It would. And maybe he wanted to take some more shots, and he couldn't, because it was probably a world-class producer that got in everybody's ear that said, we can't do that.

Rodgers. And it didn't go anywhere. It was not like he got off to a bad start, unfortunate start, hurt his Achilles. Then he only got a year older, got off to a real bad start at the part of the season where he couldn't. And yeah, maybe he made the season look better by spamming his best friend footballs towards the end, who may not even want to be there either. It was a disaster on all accounts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Ryan's Case For Top 5 Executive Producer's Of All-Time
And what the franchise was asking is like, all right, it's not working out the way that we wanted. Can you at least give us a break on the PR front? Now, it's Aaron Rodgers' prerogative. I don't like that that ask came in, but I understand why it came in. It's certainly part of the equation when you're dealing with Aaron Rodgers is, is this guy worth this headache?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Ryan's Case For Top 5 Executive Producer's Of All-Time
And his play very clearly in his time in that uniform was not.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Ryan's Case For Top 5 Executive Producer's Of All-Time
Don't you think it's been a worthwhile investment? For everybody. For Pat and for Aaron. That breaks the model for ESPN. ESPN, prior to Pat being on board, didn't pay guests as far as I knew. Certain things were worked out in the contracts if a sponsor came on board. But a flat fee for that, that's a whole new business model. And it certainly worked out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Ryan's Case For Top 5 Executive Producer's Of All-Time
It worked out for everybody outside of Aaron, maybe. No, it worked for Aaron.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Ryan's Case For Top 5 Executive Producer's Of All-Time
Can I ask you guys a question? Because I feel a certain way about it, but I'm genuinely curious. I don't know the answer. I assume we're working at the time that Aaron usually does his hits. So we consume Aaron's hits by social media clips and the aggregation. By the tail end of last season, how much value was there in having the starting quarterback of the New York Jets?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Ryan's Case For Top 5 Executive Producer's Of All-Time
And I understand he's a Hall of Famer, one of the greatest quarterbacks we've ever seen personally, one of my favorite quarterbacks. I do find him interesting. I do. I read an entire book with my ears about the man. But how much value does that have, really? For whom? For anybody. I'm saying for Aaron. This season's embarrassing. I kind of felt bad for him towards the end of that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Ryan's Case For Top 5 Executive Producer's Of All-Time
We're still going to trot him out?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Ryan's Case For Top 5 Executive Producer's Of All-Time
I was just curious. I wasn't opining. I think there's value there. I just read a book.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Ryan's Case For Top 5 Executive Producer's Of All-Time
But is that going to be the only value? To him. Okay, but to the audience, who's going to keep consuming? I don't know what's happened to the numbers if people's interest waned on it. Let's say he's out of the league entirely. Let's say he chooses to retire. Does he go back and the whole thing is a dude taking exception to a media that is not actually talking?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Ryan's Case For Top 5 Executive Producer's Of All-Time
Let me be clear. I think it's been great for ESPN when he's a newsmaker. That's cool. I think it's been great for Pat McAfee. I don't think it's been good for Aaron Rodgers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Ryan's Case For Top 5 Executive Producer's Of All-Time
Also, this is something that Russini said. And even if Aaron Rodgers agreed, the New York Jets might have still settled on we're getting away from this guy. I actually think that this has been amplified in the social space because it's awfully convenient. Well, it wasn't my play. It was because I was going on Pat. That had to be it. No. No, it was your play and that. And that was a piece of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Ryan's Case For Top 5 Executive Producer's Of All-Time
And they were looking at the totality of the picture.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Ryan's Case For Top 5 Executive Producer's Of All-Time
Yes, I'm fascinated, too. It's like what happened here now is like my fascination. Like what where did this go sideways? Part of it is we got to know him better as this change in his life happened. where his relationship with his family broke down a little bit, and he started showing us more of himself. But I think it's pretty irrefutable that this hasn't been good for Aaron Rodgers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

And as uncomfortable as it is, even though a bunch of people who didn't want Colin Kaepernick kneeling because they didn't want politics and sports, and yet I see an entire card get hijacked by a victory party by Donald Trump and his cronies, I still watch the UFC.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
I think they have a terrific product. I would like for them to practice what they preached several years ago in keeping the politics somewhat out of it. I know some of that stuff is unavoidable. But I am just a little shocked that when you buck back against it, you either limit media availability like they have with us, or you just straight up call them the P-word.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
There's a lot of tough talk from this guy and he always does that whiny voice. Like, look, I told you, in as many voices as I can muster, not a fan of all that. You do it, I watch anyways, we move on. I use my pulpit to say how I feel. You take great offense and try to limit my ability to do that. That doesn't actually feel like free speech. Not one bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
We are allies. It's a progressive off. Allies.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Howdy folks, it's Mike Ryan. I talk to you about Miller time all the time, but we're in the winter time right now and one of my favorite pastimes is to crack open a Miller light and enjoy myself some Miller time during the winter time because when there's a brisk chill in the air, it just makes everything right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
My friends and I who live down here in South Florida can actually sit outside because it's not super muggy. We can thoroughly enjoy our Miller time together. And for you listening, I know there's a lot of things going on right now. Sports, Tastes like Miller time! Bis zum nächsten Mal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Actually, I could have made that point even better, because, like, soccer, we've been trying for decades to get, to have liftoff in this country, but guess what? Who's actually had success there? Oh, the old Title Niners.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
I think you made it a little bit about more of what I was talking about. I just want the guy that talks tough, that is a free speech absolutist, to not limit the free speech of other people and not call people the P-word and act somewhat reasonably.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
They've already shown that they don't have to cave to perceived societal norms. moving on with their careers, surviving scandals that other people wouldn't. Roger Goodell wouldn't be able to survive the scandal that Dana White went through. That's all said and done. The fighter pay, all that other stuff. Dana White is a cult of personality and it's kind of in line with MMA.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
I just don't understand why this dude is so easily offended.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Ich habe gehört, dass ihr auf der Seite wart. Ich habe das nicht gefallen. Wir haben euch gesehen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Er hat gesagt, es war nicht der wachsende Mob, der... ... am stärksten ist, wenn es um diesen Mann geht. Dana White sagte selbst, dass er sich um diesen Mann kümmert, weil er so kämpft. Und jetzt, dass wir gesehen haben, was in Adesanya passiert ist, gab es vielleicht ein bisschen Fuhlsgold, wenn es um Sean Strickland ging. DDP hat ihn dominiert und ihn komplett kontrolliert.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Und jetzt nicht Diamond Dallas Page. But it seems as though that arrow is pointing way, way down for Sean Strickland. That's fine, there's always going to be another Sean Strickland. There might be another Bryce Mitchell for all I know. And that's cool. I've grown accustomed to this. It's not cool, but it is what it is with that sport. Their corporate partner in ESPN, dead silent.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Es ist nicht cool, Mike. All of these things being laundered is not cool. It's not cool and you should have the right to have a rebuttal and we should have a civil discussion on this. Only Dana White doesn't take opposition as civil. Er geht auf die Offensive und versucht, dich zu töten, wenn du mit seinem M.O. nicht aufhörst.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Und für mich ist das einfach nicht mit dem öffentlichen Persona verbunden.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
It's the only time he's actually shown contrition.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
It's the only time that he says, say whatever you want about me. And he still doesn't push back on that stuff. It's his fighters, it's the transphobia, it's the homophobia, it's the racism, it's the antisemitism that I wish you were stronger against. Now, he did come out in opposition of Mitchells comments. But he didn't actually take a punitive measure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Because look, he didn't take a punitive measure for himself, really. He survived his scandal. Although, apples and oranges, what we're talking about. If the discourse is now in a place because you helped bring it there, then you should at least, I'm not even asking for 50-50 split here, dude. I am not. I'm asking for 90-10.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
If, allow for 10% of civil discourse in opposition and not get your panties in a bunch every time someone comes out and criticizes you in public and not try to limit their access.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Für das, was Mitchell gemacht hat... Ich denke, du schlägst ihn ab. Denn das, was Mitchell gemacht hat, war zu diskutieren. Nun, er hat einiges zurückgebracht. Einige Leute waren nicht in Ordnung mit seiner Entschuldigung. Aber du musst zumindest den Leuten beweisen, dass es eine Art pünktliche Maßnahme gibt. Hat er die Möglichkeit, Kämpfer zu finden? Das ist etwas, was du tun kannst.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Nicht nur keine pünktliche Maßnahme. Mitchell wird größer werden. Mitchell's star is rising. Many people are hearing his name for the very first time. It appears as though Dana White is going to leverage this ascension somewhat on the next card. Just the same way he's done so with all these other inflammatory fighters. We get that. It's the fight game. Cool.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
But if I have something to say about it and you want to in turn limit my access, I think you're soft.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Yeah, there is a value in wanting, alright, I hate what that person represents, I hate what they say. Now, they have not tried to appeal to me in any sort of way. The whole business model of come watch this guy get his ass kicked because he offends you, he offends you, kind of goes out the door when you welcome what you welcome into your events. I don't actually feel welcome at the UFC.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
I'm quite literally not welcome at the UFC. So what I would like is just some kind of leeway here and not just all this BS tough talk.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Yeah, and it should be a little scary. It's some of the things that were invoked there and some of the things that are being invoked now in terms of transphobia and all that. And look, this is reaping what you sow. Dana White, certainly. wenn er andere Leute, andere Kämpfer, die inflammatory Dinge sagen, oder off-the-court Angelegenheiten haben und so weiter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Er denkt wahrscheinlich nicht, dass das die nächste Phase und Evolution ist. Aber es ist so, weil du dein Niveau der Toleranz gezeigt hast. Und zum Teufel, einige Leute werden für ihr inflammatoryes Verhalten in der UFC bezahlt. Nun, ich meine...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Und, schau, ich weiß, dass es viel über Echo Chambers gesprochen wird, aber er hat ganz literally ein Echo Chamber gebaut, mit dem er die Sport coveren kann.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
And I think that's talking out of both sides of your mouth.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Jimmy? Well, he only understands bully talk. So we'll do that too. I want her to speak in a language that he apparently can understand.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
I think I've gotten better on this. I've gone from like, you can't allow this to like, go ahead and allow it. Aber kann man vielleicht 10% bekommen? Nein.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Ich liebe den Sport. Ich liebe die UFC. Wenn es zurück in die Stadt kommt, kann ich an die Karte gehen. Ich weiß, was ich unterstütze. Ich bin mir damit nicht ganz zufrieden, aber ich habe meine Überzeugungen. Look, if they find out I'm actually paying for a ticket, they're like, cool, fine, free country, I assume. But if I want to go as a member of the media, I won't be allowed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Celebrated when you walked up and down the stairs? I saw you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
They love me there. I bet Dan was totally normal there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
I don't feel uncomfortable at these events. I know that the current president went to my event and I exercised my right, as did many, to cheer him. I booed and that's a free country and I love that I was afforded that as a paying ticket holder. I would like to voice opposition to certain things that I don't like and voice my displeasure as someone that is an invited guest of media.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
And we're just not doing that as a country anymore. We're just limiting that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I've had to be taught. It's really important that you do it on the day.

Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Well, but it feels more so. Have you explained that the menu options are a little bit more limited and there's more crowds, that if you just either wait or do it ahead of time, that can be your Valentine's Day, sweetie. And we can all enjoy it much more. Have you done that? Have you tried having that? Have you tried a guy's trip? No. We're going to Canada. Sorry, Four Nations just comes once.

Yeah, Valentine's Day is just a day on a calendar. Valentine's Day is something that I never celebrate on Valentine's Day. If you do so, you're doing it wrong. Sorry, Dan. I'm very resolute in this opinion. You get the worst service, you get the worst menu items, you get packed crowds. You do it on either the week after or the week before. You have a much better experience and you celebrate it on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

You give roses, you do all the traditional stuff, you just don't do it on the day.

Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
I think the UFC, the Rogan-Culture, all of that was certainly spearheading the societal shift that is very clearly happening. We see big tech companies bend the knee when it comes to some of these things. Everybody in power has just collectively decided what we were doing a few years ago, where we were actually listening to people that we've offended or want to be inclusive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
We're going to walk all that stuff back. Und das ist gut. Schau, die UFC hat in den vergangenen Jahren und Inkarnationen sogar Feuerwehrleute für die Dinge, die sie gesagt haben, verabschiedet. Und Dana White ist eigentlich ziemlich eloquent gewesen, als es zu Transphobien in seinem Sport gab. Aber als Teil dieses Schiffs, das er auf der Vorderseite hatte, ist er davon weggegangen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Du hattest einen MMA-Fighter, der sich als Nazi-Sympathizer befand, und das am wenigsten bei Bryce Mitchell. Und Dana White war gut, diese Kommentare zu kritisieren. Er war sehr stürmisch gegen sie in der Opposition, aber er hat keine punitive Maßnahme gegen Bryce Mitchell genommen. Wir haben vorhin über Sean Strickland gesprochen. Ich bin kein Fan. Ich denke, es ist repulsiv und all das andere.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Aber Dana White ist Champion. Sean Stricklands Fähigkeit, diese Dinge zu sagen, wie er es mit Bryce Mitchell gemacht hat. Das ist sehr viel wie ein Freisprecher-Absolutist, wie es aussehen würde. Aber ich bin ein bisschen verwirrt bei der Mixed Messaging. Denn Dana White hat all verschiedene Opinionen, wenn Leute über ihn reden.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Es ist fast so, als ob alle anderen in der UFC den Recht zur freien Sprache verwenden, aber wenn du es gegen Dann hat er ein Problem damit. Also, ich denke, mit diesem UFC-Fight in Australien, hat Sean Strickland das erste Blut gedroht. Er ist sehr kombinierend in diesen Pressekonferenzen. Das und seine Kämpfe haben ihn zu einem Headliner erweitert.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dana White and the UFC
Aber Tony, er musste nach Australien und ihren mehr progressiven Regeln gehen. Und Australien kam nicht wirklich gegen ihn. Sie haben ihn einfach zurückgeführt.

Das ist der Führer eines großen Sportes hier in den USA, der Roger Goodell in der NFL ist. Nur dieser Typ hat politische Einflüsse, die Roger Goodell nicht hat.

Donald Trumps Resurgence back in one of the great comeback stories in American politics. Donald Trump was steadfast in making sure it was a normal scene to see Donald Trump amongst the people after even Coca-Cola came out against him on January 6th. But what I am at a loss for is how sensitive, because the right had a word for this, whenever the left was offended by something easily.

We know how this works. When you strip away Title IX protections, the ruling class gets to define what is actually merit-based, which is awfully convenient when they're the ones making the investments. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
The Title IX protections. The Title IX protections, which means.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Yeah, which means like athletes, women athletes inside the NCAA, their sports, if you lump their sports against some of the bigger men's sports, the women's sports are generally classified more as non-revenue. And it allows schools to just paint with that broad brush and realize we don't actually have to make a sizable investment in this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Allow me to help you, though. given like you cited caitlyn clark this is not that if we want to get into false equivalencies like and every sport for the most part found itself where many non-revenue women's sports find itself right now which is how we generate an audience even american football had to start from a base level of zero hell we have something worldwide that is the biggest sport
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Proof of concept. The biggest thing in sports entertainment is soccer. And we've spent three decades trying to invest in it to make it a revenue generator in this country. And we can in college athletics. And we are certainly not in the black when it comes to MLS. Things take time.

Jeremy and I have thoughts on this. It's a tough look. I think women's basketball, especially in the collegiate game, is showing you when you finally actually put resources behind this, the sport can grow and be a revenue sport for you as well. I think that in the Big 12, there's good softball stories, women's gymnastics. has been huge for NIL and athletes that have benefited from that.

It's like any business. You also need seed money to invest to actually see how this grows. And in this golden age of sports media rights, I don't think we should be pulling back. Also, we're taking a step back decades in terms of progress when it finally felt like we were making real inroads on making these non-revenue sports actually revenue generators.

It just wasn't necessary, Dan. And I think the whole industry is less than happy about the Max Fried contract.

Except for people scurrying out of the room to leak it to Ron Blum. If you know, you know. Are all about old pitchers and how bad they are. How it never works. So for me, I know Max Fried is an 8-year deal. He's pitching at 31. He is not going to make it the full 8 years. And remember, the Yankees just side Rodan. Another lefty. And guess what? That deal hasn't worked.

It would be nice if we could talk about that for a moment, Dan. We'll talk about it. This is not an example where the haves and have nots. It's just starting, Jeremy.

So this is an old story.

So none of this should concern anybody. Nobody's acting differently than they used to act. The numbers are just different. But in the NBA they're different too. In the NFL they're different. Jim Kelly never made in a career what Daniel Jones makes in a year. I mean, I don't know if that's a fact. That's reckless journalism. But let's pretend it's something close to that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Marlins Park Heist
You're good. I am good. I believe that Jim Kelly was underpaid because he was old. He's old in his whole career. His career earnings are less than Daniel Jones made in that guaranteed nightmare of a contract with the New York Giants. He's right. Jim Kelly made $28 million. Daniel Jones made $36 million this year.

Richtig? Das ist nicht wahr, Leute. Ich höre immer, dass ihr mich in dieser Runde behält, aber ihr redet. Es gibt viele kleine Payroll-Teams, die die Playoffs regelmäßig machen.

For a guy that just hits home runs once in a while, getting back two good infielders with six years of control each, plus a starting pitcher, you can bet your bippy you're going to make that trade every day. Just tell your manager about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Marlins Park Heist
There will have to be, Roy. You can't have a cap without a floor. That's the reason why there's never been a cap, is there was no way to fund the floor. Because teams like the Marlins would get together and say, we'll agree to a cap. And we'd love that, but you have to give us more revenue sharing in order to make sure we can get to a floor.

Stop speculating. You're just wrong. Es war die Union. Die Union hat eine Begriebtheit gegen mehrere Teams eingeführt. Die Marlins waren einer davon.

Wenn das Geld in deine Account von Escrow schießt, das ist, als ich informiert und gesagt wurde, dass ich aus dem Gebäude rausgehen würde und Jeter reingehen würde.

Yeah, I wanted to talk about one thing about the Max Fried deal that we did not cover on Nothing Personal and that we saved what you call a scrap. When you are a team and you are in a position where you don't get a player... Was ein Agent macht, ist, dass er das Team anruft und sagt, wir können all deine Probleme lösen. Wir können all das negative PR wegnehmen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Marlins Park Heist
Und was die Yankees haben, ist, dass es nicht mal Boris war, weil Max Fried ist vertreten von einer Firma namens CAA. Und CAA traf nicht normalerweise so, wie Boris es macht, in Bezug darauf, ihre Spieler zu stellen, wo es nur um Geld geht. But what Boris has done by retaking the world with the Soto deal, he has caused other agents to act more like him, not less like him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Marlins Park Heist
So CAA goes to the Yankees and says, we will solve your problems, but you are going to pay and it's going to hurt. And that's the only way a deal comes together as quickly as it did, is when it's a one-way deal. The Yankees just gave in to what CAA asked for, not even believing that the Yankees would say yes to it. There was no talk of an eighth year until Soto signed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

And then it happened in a day. And the only way that happens in a negotiation is when one side gives. And my God, the Yankees were bent over.

I'm going to ride a hot hand in hockey. By the way, we did some number crunching on the total succession rate, conversion rate of power plays in the NHL. Right now, it's as good as it's been since the mid-80s. You won't have a team setting records the way that the Edmonton Oilers did, but the floor is a lot higher now in the NHL. So the St. Louis Blues have won nine out of their last ten.

For the first time in too long, we are going to have Stu Gatz's weekend observations. He's got a lot of thoughts. As soon as a coach is fired in the NBA, a mean flumes in. from wherever it is he is to give us some poignant analysis.

Did you guys catch last night, we have not talked about this, either one of these games, the Dallas Stars game or the Knicks-Celtics game? Because the Celtics are rounding into form and I believe... No one believes in them. Anybody watching basketball knows that one of the best Knicks teams we've ever seen isn't quite good enough, even when healthy, to do...

the things necessary to topple OKC and Cleveland and Boston. And I don't believe, even though Cleveland's gonna be the one seed, I don't believe that many people listening to this will believe that Cleveland can get past Boston until they've actually done so. But how many times have you seen in hockey a three-goal lead evaporate in the last minute? In the last, I don't know. I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
I don't know. I couldn't remember. You'd be correct. It's never happened before?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
Never happened before where a 5-2 lead has disappeared in, and how much time was left? Was it more, just more than 60 seconds?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
You say 100% win probability, but I'm always noticing when a game is 61 to three or something with a minute left that the win probability will always be 99.9% because they don't actually want to give you the 100%. Because things like this... They don't want to commit to it. That should be. Put it up on the poll at Levitard Show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

If you're up 5-2 with a minute left in hockey, should your win probability be 100%?

Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
Is anyone better than Edmonton was last year when they entered the playoffs at like a 42% clip of succeeding on power plays? Is there anyone this year that is mathematically, empirically better than that? And as you look for the answer on that question, and you mentioned a first-round matchup, how close are we in the West to getting Lakers-Warriors in the first round?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
because of how things have to break here at the end as Denver is firing it. There is going to be a first round. I don't know if you guys are watching what the Clippers are doing, but I thought the Clippers were championship good last year if they'd been healthy, and I never expect them to be healthy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
If you see what's happening, not with Kawhi Leonard or James Harden, but with Zubac, who just had a perfect game of 25-10 where he made all of his field goals, didn't have a turnover, made all of his free throws. It was something that has rarely happened in the sport.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
They're playing a style of basketball that makes it that a dominant postman can actually matter in the league in a way that's a little bit unusual. And I don't know... What is going to shake out on 4-5 in the first round in the West? But would you be excited or disappointed if it was Lakers-Warriors and one of them was suddenly eliminated?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
Given how everybody is covering basketball, or so many people are covering basketball this year, where they refuse to talk about the top four seeds unless it's the Lakers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
I think that people will be disappointed if you don't get the star power, the aged star power that you want deep in the playoffs. I think if I offer that to the average basketball fan and say, would you like to see Warriors-Lakers in the first round? Or would you like to see them play others and try to advance to a round that has more stakes? given what happened on Christmas Day, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
That the clinging to familiar makes it so basketball cannot compete with the NFL except when it's LeBron and Steph. And it happened the other night, right? The Laker games are still the ones that are doing giant numbers, even though it's been a little bit uneven with the Lakers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
You would think that you would get excited by content, but okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
And I still don't really know how this is going to work with Luka because I see an awful lot of 6-for-17s or 6-for-19s from him, and it's just not... It's not what you need from him. He's got to be the best basketball player on your team can't be the oldest player in the league.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
Can you get me the stat of the day music here, please, and the gas bag of the week as well? Because I want to tie the stat of the day to something here that people aren't talking about that perhaps they should be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
I don't think this stat has changed in the last couple of days because Oklahoma City was just playing against the Lakers and this is a couple of days old and I have not refreshed it, but the Oklahoma City Thunder against the East this year, 29-1. They've lost one time against the East, and it is a little bit strange to have a team doing this well in the league and have it be in the shadows.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
But what Oklahoma City has done in terms of architecture on team building, the Paul George Kawhi Leonard trade is going to go down as one of the greatest trades ever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
the other way that there's ever been and the stockpiling of draft picks in a city where you can tie people down for a while by contract because of the economy of the sport puts them in a position with young players because that team is super young, they behave young, they behave goofy and silly
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
in a way that's not immature the way Ja Morant is immature, goofy and silly after games in a way that is childish and fun. Their style of play offensively and defensively is fun, and the team is personality fun, but we're not quite ready to give the league over to them yet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
In your history watching the league, have you ever seen this or something that rivals this in terms of puzzling, universally received as puzzling because you're knocking out both your leaders with this is the timing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
I'm looking at this as the obvious result of what's happened the last 15 years combined with the generational gulf of holding players accountable. No, we've got to do it differently because the 20-year-olds have the actual guaranteed money power here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
Does this not feel to you, in some way, as someone who really loves basketball and understands how the basketball leadership works, does it not feel to you Like you, your way, your thinking of accountability is generationally behind now that there has been a sea change here that this is a symbol for.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Moisés Kangalou
But the way that you think about these things, about how to govern people from a different generation who have a different relationship with work, perhaps than Michael Malone does. This represents a sea change that leaves the Bill Belichick way, the Pat Riley way, the Michael Malone way, leaves it a little more behind than it was yesterday.

I remember looking at it a couple months ago and being surprised at how good Westbrook was playing for them. Now the numbers have probably dipped a little bit, but he's having a better year than he had last year for them. I think you're right to seize on that, regardless of him improving year over year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
I know they won with this core, but you have what might be the most unstoppable offensive force in the history of the game. To surround him with that same level of talent and slowly pick away pieces that made a difference on a championship team, that's not really a recipe for a GM keeping his job, especially when you've already established what the new standard is for a franchise.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
I totally get the GM. The head coach, I'm shocked. I can understand firing Malone if they disappoint in the postseason, but I guess the thinking is from Stan Kroenke on down, we have What I just said, the most dominant offensive force in the NBA. We cannot waste another year of this window. We are not going to get to the top of the mountain with this head coach.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
And if that's what they deduce, then you've got to support it, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
So in the NBA, there aren't very many recent examples, especially when you're trying to cite something this close. Ty Lue would probably be the most recent example of a midseason change.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
I would say in Europe, in soccer, both on the international and club level, there are plenty of examples of a management change right before an elimination stretch in a competition or a pivotal point in the season where the team goes on to go on a run. Hockey, the same way, but 10 games before the season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
You have a couple examples with the Lakers, but this is a fairly new phenomenon in the United States.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
Craig Berube and Dan Biesma. I probably butchered that last name for the Pens. Both midseason changes. So I was just looking up interim coaches. Most of these happen way closer to the middle part of the season than the latter, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
Well, the counting stats, especially defensively, are pretty damning. And they've shown, that core has shown, they can dial it up. And they've never been as bad as 20th in defensive efficiency. So that may play to something that Woody Page said on Around the Horn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
yesterday woody page has been in that market for a long time and he covered the denver nuggets and he had sources that said i think you can kind of tell from the michael malone clip that we played that malone's message to the players had gotten stale they were over it and yokich did indeed sign off on this move to further the point that malone had gotten stale with the team

Well, let me ask you about 2006, where you guys were in wildcard contention to the latter part of the season. You decided to fire Joe Girardi, who that year had won National League Manager of the Year. He only lasted one year there. So I assume, even as you guys were in wildcard contention, Girardi's act had worn thin.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

So did you guys actually consider a managerial change as you guys were pushing for that final wildcard spot?

Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
I really care. It's not my job to evaluate how they take things. My job is to be honest and sometimes brutally honest. And tonight, it was a brutally honest message. And the guys that are full of s*** won't hear it. You know, they'll say, Coach is tripping.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
And the guys that maybe do really care will, because they're not going to go back and watch their minutes, because nobody watches their minutes. Nobody watches film. So we'll have to show them the film. And I said, if somebody disagrees with me, please speak up. And nobody said a word. So again, I'm not really concerned with how they took that message.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
My thing is being honest with how we just played. And the same thing that's been bothering us of late that I talked about pregame, the turnovers, the rebounding, was even worse tonight. And I didn't think it could get any worse, but it did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I think the NBA has changed quite a bit, though, since you had that conversation with Eric Spolstra. I can see where Michael Malone, he says that, Michael Malone's always spoken with a bravado about him, but he's saying that as a recent NBA champion head coach that has succeeded with that very core.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
At the very highest level, they won a championship with him issuing that message, going about things a certain way. I don't know What's changed, really, except for the rest of the conference probably getting a little bit better and the results not quite being there? I spoke to people that would know, that cover the NBA, because I don't follow it that closely.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
I saw this alert, and once again, the second time this year, after the Luka trade, I'm like, is this real? Could they have possibly done this? This is the second... top five seed in the Western Conference that has decided to fire its head coach with 10 games remaining in the season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
Kevin O'Connor... I'm sorry, but what they told me was Michael Malone tends to ride his team really, really hard. And when the results aren't there, you don't have the success. We've seen this in the NFL where... the authoritarian type of head coach, his act wears thin after a little bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
Me as a Heat fan, I'm really shocked that a team with a championship pedigree that failed to deliver on expectations actually had a punitive measure for leadership. That's crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

That team is really good, though. It's a weird conference in that they're like a game away from the eighth seed.

With the Taylor Jenkins stuff in Memphis, I'm like, well, you know that this probably went through Ja at some point, and I can see Ja having opinions on the matter. Jokic, I assume that they cleared this with him, but I'm not really sure.

Can I present an alternate theory? Maybe his dog was sick and he was up all night because his dog ate all the chocolate that we left out for some reason when we went to dinner. And when he came home, he found the chocolate all eaten and then he was up all night at the vet and crying because I can't lose another dog like that. Yeah. Not the night before he didn't.

Hour 2: Wild Willy Crashes The Plane
Ich meine, das ist einer der besten Shows in der Geschichte des Fernsehens. Wir haben den ersten Teil gesehen und er hat das ganze Ding mit den Piloten gemacht. Und er hat den Houston-Aeroport wiederentwickelt. Und ich habe gesagt, es kann nicht verrückter werden als das. Und dann im zweiten Teil sehen wir die Paramount Plus Deutschland und Jeff, der Pilot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Wild Willy Crashes The Plane
Und ich dachte, es kann nicht verrückter werden als das. Und dann im dritten Teil, er wiederentwickelt Sully Sullenberger's Leben. Wow. Von der Geburt. Including breastfeeding.

Das ist der einzige Kritik, den ich hatte. Ich hatte ein paar Kritiken darüber, wie es alles endete, aber einer davon war, dass Baby Billy einfach den Show in der Mitte abgab. Und ich dachte mir, nein, wie Billy gesagt hat, ich will das beendete Produkt sehen, wie in der Saison von Curb Your Enthusiasm, wo sie das Seinfeld-Finale übergemacht haben.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I actually had a Tessie exchange with my dad on Father's Day, who still wants Father's Day to be all about him. No, that's different. I understand it's different, but again, the shoe's on the other foot. My whole point to my dad was, look man, you had your run. Yeah. Und jetzt ist es mein Zeitpunkt. Und ich brauche dich nicht, um diese Energie von mir in meine Wohnung zu bringen, an meinem Tag.

Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
You can take a little advice from me and openly admit when you're wrong sometimes. It's actually endearing. Two and a half times? It actually buys you nothing, though, because everyone thinks that no one does this. In fact, there is no stronger political force in this country than people refusing to admit that they're wrong. We've lived it for over a decade. But you do buy something with us.

Ich glaube, die Details sind... Es könnte Probleme geben. Wenn ich Ryan Langerhans wäre, wäre ich wirklich am Ende. Was denkst du, was ich jemandem tun werde? Obwohl ich seinen Namen für Kamalingas benutze. Ray Carruth. Jim Drunkenmiller. That's a good one. It's probably a bad game, though. See? First it would have meant that I was wrong. And a fool that rushed in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Is that a good one? That's for Mike's game. Yeah, no, that guy kills. Well, maybe I was wrong at the time. But I'll be right now. Yeah, see? It's possible.

Nein, ich habe noch nie einen Turtel gesehen. Ich habe viele interessante Böse gesehen. Ich hasse Böse, aber ich bekomme einige... Oh, ich hatte einen Hauch da hinten. Wir hatten einen Hauch in unserem Umgebung.

Weißt du, Knuckleball ist fast das exklusive Domain des weißen Mannes. Ja, ich fand, dass ich eine Minderheit bin.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Actually, I don't think so. I think Chad GPT thinks Dennis Springer is black and that is not the case. I don't believe that's an almost situation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
I'm trying to figure out why Chad GPT thinks Dennis Springer is black. Because he is not. He is not a black man. The name sounds a little black. He threw a 43 mile per hour knuckleball to Barry Bonds, who hit his 73rd home run of the 2001 season on it. A 43?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
I think it's the exclusive domain of the white man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
I mean, the Astros have been playing big time games and never once did it cross my mind. I just thought he had a great hand.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Look, man, I'll wear it. This is vulnerable. You're wrong about this? Mike, you're bringing race relations forward in this country. I don't think I was wrong about this, I just wasn't aware. Und ich lerne darüber. Und es tut mir leid. Es tut mir leid.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Ich verstehe, dass es historisch zählt, aber wenn ich sage, dass wir einen nicht-weißen Knuckleballer nicht gesehen haben, dann glaube ich, dass ihr wisst, was ich meine. Mit Kameras. Oh, we haven't seen them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
I mean, that was from a time where people had weird nicknames.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Okay. Let's look into this one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Did he play in the Necro Leagues? He died in 02. Yeah. Which is around the time Dennis Springer lobbed up that meatball to Barry Bonds.

Now is a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented Tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Das ist eine seltsame Sache. Übrigens, ich denke, wir bekommen Spieler-Intros im Conclave. Du, hast du gesehen, sie haben Karten und alles? Ja, ich denke, Matteo Zuppi, Archbischop Bologna.

Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Wo gehst du mit Lebo hin? Ich komme da hin. Es ist ein guter. Glaub mir. Wir sollten aufhören, weil ich ziemlich sicher bin, dass du gesagt hast, dass seine Tochter für unsere Firma arbeitet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
No, but we were also not aware that Lebo had a daughter that was employed here and that is what you said. Oh, I'm sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
I knew that. That's where that one was headed.

In our defense, it went poorly. He could have been Blasian. That's true. Got you there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads like... Cuervo. I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo. The tequila that invented tequila. Proximo. Cuervo.com.

Speziell Männer. Ich habe oft gesagt, dass es keine stärkere politische Kraft gibt. Was in den letzten Jahrhunderten passiert ist, ist eine Verabschiedung, um zu kapitulieren. Es gibt keine stärkere politische Kraft als Männer, vor allem weiße Männer, die einfach nicht glauben, dass sie falsch waren.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
That's why I've often said that. Because it's a banger. It's true. It's true. Have you ever tried to pin down one of your conservative friends on what's happened over the last 15 years? It's impossible. Have you changed a single mind? Nope. Nothing will. I'm telling you. We've well past the point of no return when it comes to these things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
If they didn't admit that they were wrong after January 6th, they're never going to admit that they were wrong. You should almost give up and just try to work on the MPAs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
MPAs and the people that were somehow part of unions, that even though they had the strongest political, the strongest president ever when it came to unions, you had their union bosses endorsing whatever's going on right now, people just don't want to admit that they're wrong. I didn't like admitting that I'm wrong. I had Malik Rozier as a Heisman candidate until about week 6.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
You think I felt good about that? I've learned. And you get older and you learn and you get wiser and you realize it's not so bad to say, hey, my bad, got that one wrong. Big mistake there. You know, when the meme stonks were going on? I bought way too much AMC. Way too much. I was wrong. And GameStop, like, I just could never get in on the right time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Like, that was all about timing. Like, there were a lot of people that made a lot of money.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Well, I don't understand why I have this reputation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Hey, man, I'm sorry. Udonis Haslam, hey, I'm sorry. And everyone's like, well, you're just an egotistical asshole. And that may be true, but look. Ich hatte meine Äußerungen über Jalen Hurts und Nick Sirianni. Ich war falsch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Ich meine... Du warst nicht falsch über ihn damals. Wir können das nicht machen. Wir können das nicht machen. Wir können das nicht machen. Das geht in die andere Richtung.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Und jetzt ist es leichter zu sagen, dass du sie nicht mehr äußerst. Mit den Stocks. Es war eine Zeitung. Ich dachte, dass sie etwas herausfinden müssen. Es scheint, dass die Liga aufgehört ist. Sie hatten einen Buy Weekend. Damn it, they figured it out. So, I got to be wrong. And they get to be champions. I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
All we have is results. Sorry, I can't follow you down that path. We've done this before, but I will be right. Maybe that's a little closer, but I can't do I'm right at the time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Es gibt einen Endzeitpunkt, aber manchmal ist es auch komisch. Ich dachte, Baker Mayfield wäre großartig gewesen und ich fühlte mich nach diesem Rookie-Jahr ziemlich gut. Dann kamen ein paar Schmerzen und er hat plötzlich den Endzeitpunkt bei Carolina gespielt. Ich dachte mir, ich hätte das falsch gemacht. Und schau mal, letztendlich war er richtig. But this is Billy's point. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The fight's not over yet. If you've ever seen The Apprentice, that's actually at the crux of the plot.

Ich bin nicht der Erste, der Dinge sagt, ehrlich gesagt. Manchmal bin ich das. Aber ich tendiere zu abonnieren zu Fools Rush In.

Well, I mean, I was full and I rushed in at the wrong time. Man, it's like you're just off by a couple of hours.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
I don't think I want to be called a political assassin.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Well, I've had to change it. This is confusing. So I don't actually have a middle name, but in all my documentation, since my restricted license, the fact that my name is hyphenated confuses too many people. You have a real ID now? I do have a real ID.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
No, that's how it works. Well, I do go by three names. And if I were to ever venture into politics, it would be Mike Ryan Ruiz. Because Mike Ryan as a brand has recognition. No, you can't go with Mike. Breaking news. And Ruiz would actually help me. The polling suggests.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Oh, but you mean political assassin. I'm sorry. Sorry, this is cutting a little closer to the bone than you even know. Johnny Booth is a quarterback, I mean.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Hand up. I'll be the first to admit it. Didn't think that guy was a serial killer when he got drafted. Was it serial? Yeah, if it's more than one. Was it more than one?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Are you aware that the people of New England are worried that there's an active serial killer or killers?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Ja, danke, wir haben es im Vorhinein, aber wenn du es kurz programmieren könntest, bevor wir auf das Serialkiller-Ding in Frage kommen, wie du sehen kannst, sagt es statt auf drei Sporten, es sagt, keine drei Sporten. Und du hast gesagt, es war Missinformation. John Ruiz, der immer wahr war, sagt Fake News, nicht mein Boot überhaupt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Wild Willy Is NEVER Wrong
Was that Greg Cody in disguise? So, I mean, there is a possibility that he does have a boat that sinks. Well, then you just move the goalpost to be like, I meant that boat.

Oder bessere Spiele. Bessere Spiele, kompelere Spiele, mehr Momente wie diese. Und ich denke, wir haben es geschafft. Ich werde heute nicht gegen ein Meen kämpfen. Das wird einfach nicht passieren. Heute ist eine Feier des Sportes. Die Spiele gestern Abend haben sich verletzt. Und die NBA kommt endlich zum Party mit guten, kompellen Spielen, die nicht Blödsäcke sind.

Du hast dein Auge gehalten. Playoff-Hockey ist der Top-Level. Und ich will das nicht als Hockey-versus-Basketball-Ding machen, aber auch Sport-Neutrals werden sagen, ich meine, schau dir das an, was in der 7. Saison zwischen den Jets und den Blues passiert ist. Die Präsidenten-Trophäen-Winner haben die ganze Saison gerettet und haben sich von Enttäuschung gerettet mit 1,6 Sekunden übrig.

Und sie haben in der Overtime gewonnen. Das ist nur Drama, das die NBA... very rarely replicates when the NBA Playoffs, when I was growing up, were all about drama. And this year, I think they were delivering. Last night, they most certainly did.

Er ist immer noch unter Protest. Aber ich denke, die Closed Games, die NBA hat sicherlich, wir haben über den Diff in Cleveland gesprochen, es gab mehr Blödsäcke, quantifizierbar in diesem Sport.

Und dann kommt es zum Punkt, dass es Steaks gibt und man hofft, dass die Spiele geschlossen werden, weil die Momente, in denen die Spiele geschlossen werden, die Intensität auf dem Platz erhöht werden.

That never happens. Die NBA ist jahrelang viel unvergesslicher geworden. Wir haben meistens diese Runden. Du hast ein Outlier-Wettbewerb von den Milwaukee Bucks, du hast ein 8-Sieg in der Miami Heat, gehst in die NBA-Finals. Es ist so unvergesslich, wie es je in unseren Leben war.

Don Kang hat mich in diese Serie eingelassen. Es gibt Storylines. Eines der Dinge, die man verpasst, wenn man sich auf die regelmäßige Saison kümmert, ist, Rivalries can be born in the regular season if you have certain intense games.

When the Panthers and the Senators are brawling at unprecedented rates and having 100 minutes of penalty minutes, you wonder aloud like, Man, kann man sich vorstellen, wie intensiv das wäre, wenn sie in den Playoffs zusammengekommen wären?

GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
They don't. Well, this is like the... In public, he has to be happy for him. Of course. And then the second the camera's off, cursing everything there is about him. Stanford Steve, how does he know? How does he know? I'm excited. I really hope he doesn't shoot down my rushing prop bet thing. I've been riding it most of the season with Mahomes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I mean, I have a lot of bad football bets. Like, I always see, like, these parlays that have, like, multiple touchdowns from both teams. And it's like, wait, so you expect, like, seven touchdowns to be scored in this game? Like, a lot of people do that. Right. And it's like, oh, well, I have this kicker for over one and a half. And then these three guys on the same team scores a touchdown.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And it's like, how many points do you think they're going to get? And you're like, you know. And then you have to get this many guys in order, like, you know. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Chris, speaking of the running game, the last few Super Bowls, I've really cashed in on quarterback rushing overs. And right now, the one I see is Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes, 29 and a half. He had 40 something yards against the bill. So if we were in a DraftKings state and we were doing this, I was wondering what how you would feel about 29 and a half for Patrick Mahomes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I got those bets in before.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
You didn't sound bitter at all, Bear. Why do you think he remembers it? Does he remember it if he doesn't have that number?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
It just takes that one time. That one time ruins it forever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
He's sick before he gets to Super Bowl site. Oh, that does not bode well at all. I know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I can see it all over him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Go ahead. Bear, now that you mentioned casinos, I'm a big casino guy, especially roulette. And when I was in Vegas last year, I had an idea that I'm going to set up pool all my per diem money from metal arc here. And I'm just going to put it on a color on the roulette table. I didn't get a chance to do it last year. Because I figure if I lose the money, I just pay for my own meals all week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I love it. Or I can double my cash, right? So if you were hypothetically going to be a casino and you're betting a color, red or black, what does the bear put the money on?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I don't want to think about it. I want to put it all on one thing for the week. I either double my money or I pay for my meals. That's it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And you know what? There's not like four places to go that are packed all the time. Yes. There's tons of little dives, bigger restaurants. Right. You can always find a place to go get a beer or go get some food.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
No, you're giving me PTSD because for my birthday, I went down to the casino and I had to split eights three times. So I kept splitting and then I had three 18s and the dealer had, I think she was showing a seven and then she ends up, I'm like, you know, you get a 10, it's over. She has a two and then a 10. That was at 19. I lost all three hands. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
We're not talking about it yet. It's not a fully fleshed out idea, man. I'll cut it out.

GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And followed that up, washed that down with three beignets. Yes. Oh, wow. Yeah. Really? Yeah. How do you feel? That was yesterday. I feel pretty good. Today, I'll hurt myself a little bit later. I'm going to go get a workout in, though, I think. At least I'm going to try. But, yeah, I'm one of those, I will eat the local food.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

It was home of the blackened redfish po' boy. Really? And I ordered it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And he believed them. And I did. I text Mike, and I said, Mike, I fell into the trap. Right. I'm in the home of the XXXX. Right. One of the many homes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Yeah, I ordered it. She walked back and said, another sucker out here. Yeah, we got it. It's skunk with scales put on the top. Give him the perch. Right. Oh, yeah, we poured this out of the gulf this morning. Get a load of this nerd.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And that's what I did. I was just wandering. I was just looking at names of places, and I'll be damned if it didn't say home of, and it lured me in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Why would you want this? People say they don't want it, yet the viewership will be just as high. Well, I know that. Listen, I actually like Philly in the game because of Saquon. I think they'll just hammer him. Keeps Patrick off the field. As long as Philly's not down two scores with five minutes to go, they better run the hell out of Saquon behind that whole line.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Congratulations. As soon as both games were over, I picked Philly. It's hard not to pick Philadelphia.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

And yet there's Kansas City.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!

If I'm not playing for Philly anymore, I'm rooting for my brother.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I think having worked the last couple, I've kind of taken that off. I was able to be on the sideline and work them. I did enjoy that. Right. So, yeah, I think I'm, listen, I've been out of the league since 94. I know. I better be over it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
That will be the take. It's a good strategy. Thank you. It worked for everybody against Tom Brady that ever tried to beat Tom Brady. And then get pressure with four.

GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Got it. Wait, how does that make any sense?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Well, you would think that The game plan for the Chiefs also would be like make Jalen Hurts throw because that's the worst part of the offense, right? Yes. Of course it is. The part that's not as good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!

Alabama's offense has been neutralized. When a defense is on that offense's ass, it looks like ass. They're limited. Just like when a team is on Miami's defense and knows exactly what to do, attack them in space, they look like ass.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Big Suey: Some Guy Named Warde
Oklahoma's problem is their head coach and their offense. Their head coach, Brett Venables, like Venables' defense. That's a famous thing throughout college football. His defense, if you bring him in, he's going to have a sound defense. Their issues were all along that offense and the fact that he runs red all the time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Big Suey: Some Guy Named Warde
Yeah, it's exactly how they beat Auburn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Big Suey: Some Guy Named Warde
defense has just been on the field a lot this season it's been a really really tough season for Oklahoma offensively and Alabama was able not able to contain Oklahoma's offense which is an insane thing to say which also contributed to it but really Alabama's offense had a really bad game and I'm a big fan of the offensive coordinator that they brought in from Washington State Arbuckle and if the quarterback follows a quarterback I don't not many people watch Washington State this year I think they were exclusively on the CW that offense was really really fun
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Big Suey: Some Guy Named Warde
There wasn't much of a drop-off in terms of quarterback play and offensive output from Cam Ward. So they might fix it on the offensive side next year, but ultimately I think that hiring was a disaster in Venables and they're going to fire him eventually.

A round of ice cold Jagermeister shots. Damn, that's cold. Because apparently, we've all been drinking Jägermeister wrong. Well, how should we be drinking it? We should be drinking it ice cold. At zero degrees Fahrenheit. Roy, like Jägermeister, what else is infinitely better ice cold? The sport of hockey, Mike. It's in the name. It's ice hockey. Ice hockey. Yes. Regular hockey, not as great.

I'm not getting a whole lot of criticism on it. One of the criticisms that I've received, very few of them on social media, is like, hey, I'm trying to listen to some of the earlier episodes. Where can I find the earlier episodes? Because it's on our main channel feed. It doesn't have its own dedicated RSS feed, and people are finding it hard to find. Go to levitardaf.com.

We have a special page where we put together a playlist so you can listen to just the oral history. It's been fun. It's been revealing. It's been, like, to record these, a little taxing because we're covering some old shit that, you know, it drums up some good memories, some not so good memories.

The power dynamic on this is really inverted. But college athletics, we love it. But you didn't really fight for your program. I just got texted by Todd Fritz over at the Dan Patrick show, and there's like, hey, short notice, but... Is there any chance that you can join us live in an hour to talk about the CFP? Nice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Big Suey: Some Guy Named Warde
Dan, yesterday I realized after having my arm twisted by my head coach that this is a politicking game. If DeBoer's going on McAfee, we're a front-facing Miami show. We'll be damned if we let this happen. Now, we mobilized and we did what we could and we were so close. But would you like to join Dan Patrick and really, truly argue with conviction that Miami should be in this?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Big Suey: Some Guy Named Warde
Because I don't actually believe you think Miami should be in it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Big Suey: Some Guy Named Warde
My point is, what I hate so much about college football is the response to that is, you're an idiot. What are you talking about? Alabama would smoke Syracuse. Really? Because if Syracuse plays Oklahoma, how does that game go? You just showed to me that you lost to two six-win teams. You lost to Vanderbilt as a huge favorite on the road.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Big Suey: Some Guy Named Warde
So don't tell me you know with full conviction that South Carolina is better than Syracuse, that Alabama is better than Syracuse, because this is the whole convenient thing that's working for the SEC. When they actually play these games, Dan, in bowl games and inter-conference, it doesn't hold up. Shine a light on it. Check out Ole Miss' record –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Big Suey: Some Guy Named Warde
Two weeks ago, Nick Saban asked, what would Ole Miss's record be inside the Big 12? And I told you already, a team that went winless inside the Big 12 beat Arkansas that beat Tennessee. And then the Big 12 tweeted out Ole Miss's scores against the Big 12. The Big 12 owns Ole Miss.

It's convenient because everybody just thinks it's 2011 and they're the only conference that's paying players anymore. It's not. The talent has been dispersed. It's not a top 25 anymore. There are about 40 teams that on any given Saturday can beat you. So just coming at an argument to thoroughly dismiss Syracuse, a scenario in which Syracuse can beat Alabama, is not good faith.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Big Suey: Some Guy Named Warde
That's fine, but wasn't Lane, after they lost to Kentucky, saying, like, this is this conference, like, why don't you try to play Kentucky? And then Louisville beats Kentucky by 40. It's just very interesting that people, and quite frankly, it's a lot of ESPN personalities that don't know jack shit about college football that just get the headlines. It's a lot of people that casually follow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Big Suey: Some Guy Named Warde
Stooges has been saying, God bless him, do it against Alabama for two decades. They're not actually watching the games. Nothing sticks to the SEC. When they get called on their bullshit, it just means more, brother. Because they get to have more teams in the college football playoff. So they get more lottery tickets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Big Suey: Some Guy Named Warde
So you get the confirmation bias that, look, at the end of the day, they're champions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Big Suey: Some Guy Named Warde
Yeah, but again, we were having this conversation during one of the breaks and the general attitude, ah, Clemson, they suck. Well, what does that make South Carolina? Because Clemson threw up on themselves. They were in control of that game the entire time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Big Suey: Some Guy Named Warde
That game was kind of stolen from Clemson in that South Carolina made plays at the end and Klubnick turns the ball over when they're already in game-tying field goal range. So if Clemson sucks ass, doesn't South Carolina just suck a little less ass?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Big Suey: Some Guy Named Warde
Well, that's another thing. Missouri being ranked all season long. But I would disagree with you, Jeremy, in that what is the one thing they prioritize? It shifts. Every year it's something new. Strength of schedule didn't matter until it did. And this is not my take. This is Greg McIlroy, famous Alabama grad.

Like, he even admitted that the scale that this thing was judged on changed in the last few days.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

But you said it's an ESPN open invitational. If you look at the investment that ESPN has made in the ACC compared to what they've made in the SEC, all this stuff starts making a little bit more sense.

There are three teams not ranked in the top 25 specifically because Miami beat them. In fact, Miami is also 3-1 when you make it a top 30. And also, is 500 not 500 and above? They lost to two 6-6 teams here, people!

I think that Alabama gets the benefit of the doubt because they've proven this season that their ceiling is higher because they've beaten Georgia. Miami hasn't gotten the chance to play a team like Georgia, and they haven't gotten a chance to beat a team like Georgia. So automatically, Alabama is getting slotted ahead of them because of that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
That was so frustrating to watch. Brent Key lost all of my respect in that game. I'm sorry. That was so pathetic to watch. He didn't know the rules. He put up a one in the second overtime. You can't kick an extra point in the second overtime. Learn the rules. My God.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
But what was the final score of the Alabama-USF game?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
It was like 42-14 or something.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
Well, they were going down to how much better did they look quarter to quarter to quarter, which I think is different. I also don't think Georgia Tech would be ranked if they beat Georgia. You don't think so?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
They were others receiving votes. I'm not 100%. I'm just saying I'm not 100% sure. They might sneak in, but I'm not 100% sure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
I think, Mike, at the end of the day, there's two things you should be angry about. One, obviously, blowing a 21-point lead against Syracuse and then kicking a field goal down seven at the end of the game. Those are things that you should be mad about. Second, Stanford. Let me tell you why. Because Stanford beat Louisville in the dumbest way possible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
I guess you should really be mad at Louisville, but mostly Stanford because screw them and screw their stupid tree. They beat Louisville in this dumb career-high field goal at the end of the game because Louisville got an unsportsmanlike penalty and put them in field goal range, and then they jumped off sides, and it was so stupid.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
And they also beat Syracuse inexplicably at the beginning of the season. Stanford is bad, okay? And Stanford is single-handedly the reason that there's not more ACC teams ranked right now. So screw Stanford. Who decided to let Stanford in? Oh, I guess that would be Miami and all the other ACC schools.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
I completely agree with you about the Oklahoma game. We talked about Alabama's ceiling being they can beat Georgia. Their floor is a lot lower than it's been in the last 10 years because that game was really bad. Three points against Oklahoma at the end of the season is a horrendous offensive output for Alabama, for any team. I think that if you – Alabama may not make it, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
Because if Clemson wins, SMU is probably going to get the spot. Clemson is going to get the bye week probably with the ACC championship game. So Alabama may not make it. And I think – and I could be totally wrong about this. But I think that if you explain to an Alabama fan you didn't make it because of the Oklahoma loss, they're probably going to nod their head and be like, you know what? Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
That makes sense. Just like if you told me in September, or I guess the better example is if Notre Dame lost to USC this past weekend, Notre Dame goes into that game knowing they're playing Southern Cal on the road as their rival. If they lose, they're not going to make the playoff at 10-2 because they have the Northern Illinois loss.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
And if you told me that and it happened, I would agree with you. Notre Dame should not make the playoff as a two-loss team with the Northern Illinois loss. They went into that game knowing we have to win and we're in because this will be an 11-1 season. There's not enough 11-win teams to overcome that. And so this is a win-and-you're-in situation. It's the same thing for Miami playing at Syracuse.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
Miami knew they had to win that conference game to make the ACC championship game. It was a play-in game for the playoff, and Miami had the lead. They had a chance to tie it late in the game, and they couldn't finish it. And that's, I think, the difference between 11-1, 10-2, and 9-3 right there. Yeah.

the Pac-12 didn't explode in the last year, they would probably be the fifth conference to get a bid into the playoff. So this is all just sort of a mess because it's all happening at once.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
But I mean, I just disagree with you fundamentally because I think there should be a path for a super talented top 25 G5 team to make it in or in multiple some years if one of the power conferences has a really down year. But I guess...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
going back to miami versus alabama i think that like if the syracuse game is a touchdown for touchdown shootout and miami gets left out i under and miami still loses of course i understand like the frustration there but the fact that they had the three touchdown lead is so brutal and the fact that mario botched the ending so badly yet again someone sent me this on blue sky
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
They said the committee was afraid to see what kind of clock management Mario could be capable of in a playoff game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
And that's why Miami was left out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
And I think they're kidding. But I also think there might be some truth to it. This guy has proven he cannot handle the end of game situations time and time again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
How much time went off the clock, though, before the field goal kick? That was the other part of it, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
It's really tough because I think you're right about South Carolina because Alabama has the head-to-head. I don't think you can put them ahead of Alabama. And Ole Miss, I think general consensus is the Kentucky loss was disqualifying. This was a really, really bad Kentucky team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
But they also did blow out Georgia. So I understand their argument for it. I think of the three, I get putting Alabama ahead of those two. When it comes down to Alabama and Miami... I mean, yeah, it's tough. Like Syracuse, they're ranked, but they're a team that has played in some really big stinkers this season that Miami should have beaten. Same thing with Georgia Tech.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
Georgia Tech is a good team, but Miami still should have beaten them. And the way that Miami's schedule worked out, there just wasn't a chance for them to really prove it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
I don't know. How much does the committee get paid for this? Because if you give me that amount of money and also a weekend at the Gaylord in Dallas, then maybe I'll give you my answer. But I'm not doing it for free. I'm not going to tell you it for free.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Dan, everyone knows real Miami people don't do any Basel events. Mike, what are you up to this weekend?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
They did have to play Michigan, who did beat Ohio State. We are in the mud. I wonder how much the close games against Virginia Tech and Cal ended up mattering at the end of the day for Miami as well. What about at the start of the day? One of the worst teams. At the start of the day, good win against Florida.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
I'm not ignoring that. I'm telling you, if Alabama gets left out, I totally agree with it. You're just arguing about who's ahead of who this week. And I understand that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
I think Alabama is getting huge merit points for beating Georgia, who may end up being the SEC champion. So I get your point. I think the Oklahoma loss is a very valid reason to leave them out of the playoff. No matter what happened this year, we are always going to argue about the teams on the bubble, whether it was the 12th seed, the 11th seed, the 13th ranked team, whatever. You guys...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
But, Dan, if Alabama lost to Georgia and beat Oklahoma, I don't think they'd have a great case to get in. I think Miami would be in. I think that they are just getting a ton of credit for beating who will probably be the SEC champion if they are able to win again against Texas.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
Let's do that first. Okay, so here's the thing, Dan. I was at my parents' house for Thanksgiving. My parents both went to Notre Dame. They're big fans. Watching football games with them, very stressful. My dad is very loud. He claps aggressively. He screams aggressively. Every time he claps, my dog jumps up and freaks out. The game, I wouldn't say was necessarily... Super stressful.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
Notre Dame had a seven point lead for most of the second half, but there was a point where on offense Notre Dame had stalled out slightly. They had a pretty bad three and out late in the fourth quarter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
And they were picking on Christian Gray, one of the Notre Dame cornerbacks for the whole game. He had gotten a couple pass interference penalties. He had a really great pass breakup at one point, but it was an up and down rocky game for him. Maiava throws it in his direction. He picks it off, runs it back for a 99-yard touchdown. Notre Dame goes up two touchdowns now in the fourth quarter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
The very next drive, USC throws another 100-yard pick-six to Xavier Watts, the reigning Bronco Nagorski Trophy winner. He runs it back for 100 yards. Notre Dame has, of the four longest touchdown interception returns in school history, two of them were in that game in back-to-back plays.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
Yeah. It was like the craziest thing because at one point in the game, so on the Christian Gray penalty, Maiava got called on a low block. So there was a flag. And my mom thought that the touchdown got called back. And she was complaining like, why didn't the touchdown count? And I was like, look at the score bug. It counted. They added seven points to the score.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
And she's like, why didn't it count? Why didn't it count? And we were screaming at each other. And then my dad was like, be nice to your mother. And I was like, no, you've been acting like an asshole this whole game. Whoa.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Miami-Alabama Debate
You're freaking out my dog. No. You won't stop. You've been maniacally putting up Christmas decorations while you've been screaming for three effing hours. Don't tell me I'm an asshole.

You know, what's interesting is, you know, the Patriots like spoiled everyone six times over. The Red Sox not only got over there, Schneid, but won four times. It had transferred.

And the reason that those feelings crept in is because that anxiety had been transferred to the Celtics. And now, I don't know. I honestly don't know. We've won so many titles.

That because the Bruins lost to the Panthers as the 1-8 a couple years ago, and because they've been really good every year and have fallen way, way, way short of a cup in the last few years, my guess is that the city's going to care about the Bruins now. But I don't know. I mean, it's wild.

Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
I just want to say that after last night, the Miami Heat and all their fans and Heat culture and Jeremy Taché and Coach Spoh and Bam Adebayo and the corpse of Kevin Love can all go to hell. And when they get there, say hello to Parakeet Cortez for me. And then tell Parakeet to say hello to Art Bryles. Dan, those are the June observations.

You've walked in on your son nailing in the garage before, yeah?

Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
Five claps. Can you go first just so I can establish what I have to beat?

Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
You can chip your tooth. I'm excited about the Snapple one. Reconsider.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
Oh, just your teeth gnawing on the cap.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
Yeah, as a child, as a ute. Wait, you only get one clap, though. He said a five-pack. A five-pack? But then you get a cadence and a rhythm. You've got to be perfect if it's just one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
Do you have the guts or not?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
No, I'm asking Chris because, like, oh, I've got to build a head of steam? No, this is a real challenge. I'm better with a five-pack. Cody's are.

Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
At most, you get four. Please win tonight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
Yeah, and I'm following on the sound meter here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
Yeah, your fingers might give you an advantage here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
I don't know if this is an official way to do it, but it's the best meter that I have. I'm looking at the sound waves, and that one registered the most.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
That's pretty solid. It's right up there. Maybe we have a clap off between you and Stu. Guys, I'm a Cody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
That was the worst. I'm so bad at it. Oh, what shame. I almost missed my hands.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
That was an explosion. Wow. I could see the wind. It cried. The wind cried.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
Oh, Stu. Thank you. Nice. All right. One more for Billy. Oh, again? Yeah, one more. I want to kind of leave it how it went. It was pretty good.

Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
Well, I have a bunch of concerns too, primarily because of what this show is doing. But I have a stat for you that will make you feel better headed into tonight's possible clincher in Game 5. Vladimir Tarasenko is 1-0 in Stanley Cup final clinching games when the Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals play at Lone Depot Park.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
We're reaching back way deep to try to find a stat to combat what this show has done.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
The Seattle Mariners have 43 wins and 46 quality starts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
I don't know what you're talking about. I make time all throughout every month to be here with you, and there were just some scheduling issues that came up that meant I couldn't be here as often. But it has nothing to do with the timing of the Celtics championship. It's just it happened to be that this morning I was free, and so I said I'd love to come by and hang out with the gang, you know?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
And how many things have you prepared? It's really just I've made some observations over the last month. So I have June observations. Within June observations, there is a top five list. Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
I'm going to do June observations. Within June observations, there is one top five list. I showed a lot of restraint.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
Now I need I need more time than that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
Well, that was the thing. You know, this subject comes up a lot on this show of like whether the regular season matters and the way that the heat in particular approach the regular season. The joy of this regular season is something that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
Like, if you don't watch the regular season NBA, either because the guys who play for your team phone it in and don't care, or just because you don't tune in until the playoffs, you're missing the potential for like a wonderful journey. Like this team, the Celtics all year were so fun to watch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
and from day one of this season i got endless amounts of joy from just watching them play basketball and i don't understand the mentality of not caring about the regular season as a fan it's so much fun to follow a team especially one this great for the whole regular season i'm sad that jimmy butler has deprived you in that market from caring about the regular season because it's great it's six months of joy
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
That's the thing. That's the thing. That is the old mentality. Charlotte Wilder and I have been talking about this a lot. It's like the old mentality. The old Boston doom and gloom was that you were miserable if they lost to the Suns in a game in November. That went away with this team. This is like the 2018 Red Sox that won 108 games and then blew through the playoffs and won the World Series.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
They drove the fear out of me. I wasn't really scared at any point in the entire season until they lost game four of the...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
finals and got blown out and then i started having like an old school boston spiral of like oh god no team has ever been up 3-0 and lost a series and now what if they what if derrick lively was like we figured them out is what he said after game four and i was like what if he's right meanwhile he's a 20 year old rookie what does he know about anything but i i was like what if they're right and what if the celtics lose and before you can even have that thought
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
This team is so good. They're just up by 20 at halftime in game five and they cruise to victory. And it's just so amazing as doom and gloom as Boston fans can be, as any fans can be, that they to to not have that feeling at any point. I never thought really all the way to the finals that they were going to lose.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
Yeah, it actually makes a lot of sense that the first time that you felt that was in the finals because it was the only series in which the team had their best player that you were playing on. So I imagine why those feelings only crept in for the final because it wasn't like you had to fear Jimmy Butler or Halliburton or Donovan Mitchell.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
Yeah, yes. I love, keep going, keep going, please. Keep going. No, I'm done. Keep going. No, no, go, go, go, go. No, I'm done. I'm not going to give you this. You're going to love June Observations, Mike. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
I mean, obviously, he should have gone to Horford. He should have been the Eastern Conference Finals MVP, too. Should have been the regular season MVP, frankly. Yep. But I actually, this is not a joke. I think Tatum should have gotten it. He did not shoot well. He was only like 40% for the series, but 31-8-11 in a clinching game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
He averaged like an assist and a half more a game than Luka did, who everyone can't shut up about what a great passer he is. They ran the entire offense through him. Nearly every play in the clinching game was run through him, and he did an incredible job.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
He had seven assists in a quarter, eight assists in a quarter in game two or whatever it was, like most in Stockton, most in a finals game in 25 years. It was not the gaudy scoring numbers that everybody wants from your finals MVP, but... I'm fine with Jalen winning it. He played incredible defense. There was a mic'd up moment where he said to Missoula, if Luka stays in, keep me in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
He guarded Luka incredibly well. He and Drew Holiday both guarded Luka incredibly well straight up. So I'm fine with it that Jalen won the MVP, but I actually think that Tatum was the most important player in the series.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
It would have been five very long years, Mike.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
I'll say this. This is how unscared we were of this season. The famous Boston text thread that I've referenced many times. on this show uh... simmons renamed the thread banner eighteen like in january and no one had a problem with it because we all were watching the team every day and being like yeah they're going to win the championship live in japan Yeah, but that's a thing that you don't do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mike Schur's June Observations
Fans of any sport would never say, like, we're winning it all six months out. But we just did because we felt like it was going to happen. And we were right. So, yeah, I'd say the ghosts are gone, Billy.

Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo. I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Does it ever work? Larry Brown. That's your example. Yeah. Go ahead. Give me a second one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Yeah, it's going to be hard. Because Larry Brown is the example and he coached everywhere. 50 different teams. But I understand why Dan Hurley's popular. I just don't get... The idea that he would come to the pros and be better than everybody else. But then what I didn't get also is you're going to offer him less than Monty Williams?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Monty Williams is going to make more in Detroit than this star is going. That's what the Lakers offer is when the coaching salaries have exploded. Where Steve Kerr went from, I have no experience, to five years, $25 million. And now his extension is $38 million for two years. Your offer to try and get the two-time champion seismic higher, we're going to replace LeBron with leadership.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Watch what we do here with coaching. The next step is Dan Hurley's going to show us the way. We're going to do it with a coach. You're going to pay him less than Monty Williams? Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
That's Stugatz. I don't think any of what he said. No, I don't think the Lakers do this embarrassment because they thought that that wasn't going to be enough money. That's Stugatz's opinion, not mine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
No, what I'm looking at is I'm confused by what it is that's presently happening. Because I think... that Dan Hurley had no intention whatsoever of ever leaving that. That is a big public show of how is it that I go ahead and get to the Saban stuff here because I'm in college basketball. I like being in college basketball, and this is a negotiating move.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
We will hear from him on how tempted he was because he has had this itch. He said before that the ego of trying yourself in the pros is something that calls him. I don't believe that this would be a money decision given that they were already doubling. They were guaranteeing him stuff. and they were doubling his money.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
I thought the low offer came because nobody seems to understand that the Lakers are a mom-and-pop business, that Jeannie Buss doesn't have other businesses. The fact that that's a great American franchise with that kind of value, I can't believe all of that is still allowed to prosper, given that that's a mom-and-pop store.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
They don't have other businesses to get money from, so they have to lowball somebody. I don't think the Lakers are what they look like as gloss.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Shams is now reporting that he was never the number one candidate, and I go back to the beginning here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
I don't know what's actually true about some of what's happening here, Stugatz, but I will tell you that when the information guys and the coveted people in sports are all wrapped up in getting out there, whatever the message needs to be, so that we can negotiate in public what was thrown into the news stream during the NBA Finals,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
during the NBA finals is the big college coach going to the big marquee franchise. The same thing JJ Redick was trying to avoid because they don't like this getting in the way of things. The story broke and the information's coming differently from the two information guys. And Hurley just got himself a raise. And he just did so with the author of his father's book.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
That's what just happened publicly, thrown into the media stream.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
How does that one generally go with employers just asking for more money? Or, generally speaking, the way you show your employer your value is by having someone else point out your value.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Well, when you talk about what happens in two years, the part that wraps up the whole story, this is a prestige franchise that has helped build this sport. It gets its stars. It makes its coaches stars when they win.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
The idea that the Lakers, in two years, would have had either nothing or college coach coaching nothing would make the Lakers far different than what they've been for 40 years in that sport because they always turn it over. And so I ask you about the future of the Lakers. The oldest player in the league controls the entirety of their economy. Hmm.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
If LeBron leaves, maybe they build around Anthony Davis, or maybe they send him off and start over, and that's what the plan would have been with Dan Hurley. But it is much less than what it is the Lakers have been for the last 40 years. It's not every year they're in and out of it. When they're in last place, they've still got Kobe's retirement tour. Like, they've always got something.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
They've always got something to make the business run. But when you say they've always got ways to stay relevant, what's plan B after LeBron leaves, I ask you? Like, what is it? As you look forward to it. Well, it's Bronny.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Stugatz, the part that I'm asking you about is, are you realizing what the difference in paths are when the two information guys are telling you one of them says the path is Dan Hurley and whatever he's building, the other's J.J. Redick. Those are not the same thing. What is the plan for one of the most storied franchises in the history of sports?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
No, wait a minute. I'm not saying, well, how can you be wrong when you're in the middle of creating all of it?

I'm not even saying Woj looks bad here. I'm just showing you how the sausage is made. Look, this is the way the business is now. All of this is changing, and nobody cares about how it is. Does the sausage taste good? These are the two guys who get it done, but they're not – The two guys, the way that they get their information isn't the way we used to do any of this stuff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Well, how about that one? Jeff Van Gundy, I think, wasn't he told? Jeff Van Gundy, wasn't he told that part of the reason he was let go is because of the dangers of him taking a coaching job? Doc Rivers used that? That's a great position to get a great job.

Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Greg Cody needs to apply to replace J.J. Redick on the broadcast.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Don Levitard. Is there a Back in My Day? There is, actually. What?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Jessica just whispered to me moments ago, now there's a mustache because we were talking about mustaches and that mustache right there is about 50 years old. Is that mustache indeed a half a century old, Ron Miguel? It's getting there. It's 48 years old. We should have a celebration at 50. We should do a big celebration for the mustache.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Are you happy that baseball and other sports have made the return of the mustache something that makes you feel less alone now?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
It's back, though. You know this, right? I just learned earlier in the show today that the mustache is back. I'd seen them pop up throughout baseball, and I was confused by it. Why are these young people who are very athletic and good wearing ridiculous mustaches? Why are mustaches ridiculous, Dan? I mean, they all look ridiculous. Well, thank you so much.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Not all mustaches, but the baseball players I'm looking at, they all look like they're purposely going for ridiculous.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Reggie Jackson, they all had mustaches.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Resplendent. And now they're back. Let's talk about other things. Let me show you this video from the rodeo. It's out of Oregon. I don't know if you've seen this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
A bull named Party Bus was doing laps to God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood. And it was the final bull ride of the night. And then this ends up happening.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
He just went right over that fence. Over the fence, through the concession stand.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Well, three people were injured is what they say, but there are not enough details here. And the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association says, quote, while rodeo is a highly entertaining sport on very rare occasions, it can also pose some risk. And I don't think I've ever asked you this. Why is rodeo still a thing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
The bull-related human death?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Ron, that's not an attack, right? That's just a panicked animal, correct?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
But when does a bull want to fight, though, Ron? Because that is just all you're telling me is that's the behavior of a giant, deadly animal that it doesn't know it's being giant and deadly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
So, Ron, I want to play something else for you here. This is a biker. I don't know where this is exactly. And he's just riding along on a bicycle. Oh, the leopard gets him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
I know, but you're saying, yes, you're celebrating that a leopard jumped out from the jungle and attacked a man on a bicycle. That's a clean tackle.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
And, Ron, what do you make of what happened here? Because I'm assuming that that was to eat. Leopard was attacking that to eat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Can you explain to me, though, the reason that I thought that it might be in an attack is only because I thought, and you're right, obviously it would go for the neck, but I thought that being out amongst cars and stuff would be such a panicking situation, survival, that the animal knows it's got to kill on the first strike, and it's attacking a bicycle. So it's attacking something that's unknown.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
You're just saying that's an act of get out of my area.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
I know that I have had a hard time over the last few years trying to get you guys to get interested in baseball. But there was something that happened last week at the top of the sport where the Pirates have a phenom who throws everything 100 miles an hour. And... He's facing Otani. Paul Skeens is his name. And he's all mustache and arm.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
The elephant you always mentioned as one of the smartest, but when we talk about an elephant possibly relating to names, calling its children names, what is the next species you would think capable of that? You always do elephant and dolphins with smart. Is there another species that might surprise me because you think they might have names for each other?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Wow. All right. Put it on the poll, please, Juju. Do you know any Gertrudes under 70 years old? Thank you, Ron. Good talking to you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
And the first time up, he just throws three fastballs past Otani that swings and misses through all of them. And then the next time up, Otani hits a bomb to center field. And it was just great to watch them at the top of the sport. But one of the things I thought of when I saw Skeens is, and I've noticed this recently, and I didn't know. Nobody told me. The mustache has made a comeback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Baseball, it's all over baseball. But Stuart Skinner, the Edmonton goalie, this mustache. When did this happen that the mustache? Nobody informed me that baseball was going with a bunch of ridiculous mustaches.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Would you please? Let's take you up on it right now. Just for attention and clicks, the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody. How long do you imagine? I imagine it will come in very slowly for you. I don't think you're going to have a bushy. It's going to take months for you to have a mustache.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
So we're going to unretired after 50 years is what you're telling us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
This is very exciting. You continue to be a star in all the ways that this show needs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
I haven't seen it in many years. It's covered by another chin.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Yeah, I just did it, and then you did it poorly, less well, and second. He was making sure everyone got it, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
You weren't listening is what happened. Your own voice is something that you love so much.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Did any of you... Did any of you, that's Greg Cody laughing at a cartoon mustache.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Chris, it is so clear in that photograph that you are ashamed to be at the center of those proceedings. You are tolerating with a degree of persistence and pity your father's whims. You are wearing your father's pride uncomfortably and you're just enduring that for posterity. It's the photo that you will have long after he's gone.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
You mentioned Tom Selleck. Do you know the name of Tom Selleck's autobiography? It's out in bookstores now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Intellectual property. I couldn't believe it when I saw it at a bookstore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Tom Selleck. Stealing Tom Selleck. It stole your material.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
It is. I'm pretty sure Jessica was making that up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
If we're being honest, Jessica, my story, which was true, is no less absurd than your story, which isn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
It's got to be one word that is correct. I want to ask you guys the question because I found everything that just recently happened with Dan Hurley a little bit confusing. So I'm going to go from the beginning here. Shams reports one thing. We trust Woj and Shams, right? They're the information guys. They get all the information. There's two guys. There's no third place.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Like, whoever's third place, distant third. These are the two information guys we trust. But every once in a while, their information is not the same, and it's weird, and it's never held against either one of them because we know how credible both of them are. But Shams reports that J.J. Reddick
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
is the frontrunner and there's reporting all over the place that JJ Redick is picking out his assistant staff and then JJ Redick is asked about it and his response is, I'm not commenting on Shams' report until after the finals because he's respecting the NBA process if nothing gets in the way of the finals. I thought that was confirmation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
JJ Redick is going to be the Lakers coach when he wouldn't comment, didn't deny it, didn't say anything. Then out of nowhere... Dan Hurley appears. I don't know how many people know that Woj wrote a book with Hurley's father. This is a legendary basketball family. Woj is instrumental in the way the Hurley story has been told to America for a long time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Dan Hurley goes, this was a surprise to me. I don't know if it was to the rest of you, but to suddenly hear a report that Dan Hurley from Woj now. Dan Hurley is the frontrunner for the Lakers job, even though everyone kind of knows that the Hurleys are about regional basketball greatness. They're about that area of the country and what they represent to that area of the country.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
And Dan Hurley's wife doesn't want to leave, and everyone's assumed he's going to stay there. But the thing that I found interesting is the Lakers search around for whatever it is that comes with maybe LeBron, maybe not LeBron. But this is... Top five franchise anywhere in American sports is Laker franchise. They don't get turned down on stuff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
They do, but the thing that I will tell you again that's not so easy to do, Stugatz, is an Atlanta comes in and flames out, or a Sacramento comes in and flames out. How hard it is over different regimes to stay at the top of where the Lakers have been always matter, always matter, always matter, because they've got not just the coach, they've always got the star.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
But they have to prepare for something now after the star. And I was of the impression from the initial reporting, oh, LeBron's going to choose his coach. He's going to try and get his son there. He's going to be running the Laker franchise because, as Udonis Aslam says, all of this is posturing. He'll never leave L.A.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
I don't know if you guys saw the live stream of Kevin Hart talking to LeBron James with Druski. This was this was last night. One of the things that happened is LeBron was yelling at Kevin Hart, hey, people aren't hearing me say the N-word, right? They didn't hear that, right? And Kevin Hart says, no, I would never do that to you. And the only reason I know it is because it was just done to him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
Uh-oh. He doesn't want to be bothered anymore. Now it's getting tense because he didn't need that as a result. He needs something that happens. You can see it, mother effing. Can we bother? Are we bothering you right now? Turn on your microphone, Greg.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
LeBron is deeply California, LA now. They are trying to conquer what's left of Hollywood, and Hollywood is in shambles, okay? What's left of Hollywood, because these CEOs don't actually know what they're doing in the modern age with the streaming. They're pretending, but they don't actually know. They are crucifying the entertainment industry. It is brutal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
But LeBron's in it, the way Peyton's in it, and he's running all of these meetings where, oh, I want to meet LeBron, I'm 35, I'm a CAA middle manager, I can make deals in this town. And what they're building in Los Angeles is for after basketball, but he's still hugely valuable right now. More valuable to that franchise than it is to him, somehow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Return Of The Mustache
When they go after Dan Hurley, my first thought was, does that ever work? Does the college coach doing that ever work? The popular college coach. You really think somebody's got a strategy in college that's going to come into the pros and Popovich isn't going to know what to do against it with Wemba Nyama. It's going to be, oh no, Dan Hurley's system. It's going to kill like it did in college.

Hour 2: Hubris
If I'm a fan of basketball, why would I chain myself to watching bad version of basketball?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
If I'm a fan of basketball, wouldn't it be smarter? I want to watch the team that plays fun and good basketball. So now I'll be a Cavs fan or maybe a Thunder fan. And then in a couple years, maybe they'll be the Rockets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
They did during the damn Four Nations Cup when everyone all of a sudden turned into the biggest patriot ever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
Well, now who's a fence-sitter? It's not my fault. It's almost exclusively your fault. So when America loses by 60, then you all of a sudden become a Canadian?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
No. No soreness. They beat the Heat pretty handily last time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
You know what you do? You get Nathan Fielder to build a replica of the arena and then have... That show's crazy. It's insane.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
That's the only question I've had through two seasons now of the show. What is the budget?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
It has to be. They're spending more on that than The Last of Us. I'll tell you that right now. The Last of Us is shooting out on location. No way. They're spending... He built a replica... He's using it to make a replica of Hudson News. For some reason, it really is amazing. Hudson News, he built an entire terminal from Bush Intercontinental Airport. I want to see his budget.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
And also, Dan, to be honest, Game of Thrones, they spent, what, like a bajillion dollars an episode, but they got 10 million viewers per episode every week. So it's like, okay, it costs a lot, but it's getting great reviews and audience attraction. I still feel like the rehearsal is like this small show that me and a couple of my friends watched.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
It started with a segment on a show in Canada called Nathan On Your Side. And it was, the segment was literally like three or four minutes long. I can't even remember what the show was, but like they had like a segment, a recurring segment, Nathan On Your Side, and he goes and he helps like a small business, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
And then from that, they grew into Nathan For You, which was a bigger show helping two small businesses in an episode for 30 minutes, right, 22 minutes of runtime. And now the rehearsal is like the latest evolution of this thing, where it is, as I told Zazz, it is the most sophisticated prank show in the world, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
Like, we've reached a point in time where prank shows are people on the street acting like assholes. Like, oh, I spilled milk all over you. Ha ha, no, it's a prank, it's a prank. Like, you stupid little clowns. That's not a prank show. That's just you being an asshole. A prank show is what this man is doing, where he is...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
To give you an example, there was a guy last season who was in a trivia crew and had a conversation that he wanted to have but he was a little scared. So what Nathan did was rebuild the bar Down to every speck, down to the upholstery being torn a little bit here, his upholstery. He hired actors to play bartenders and patrons and the guy running the pizza oven, the functional pizza oven, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
And then he game-planned basically with this dude how to have this confrontation. And he did it over and over and over again until when he finally did it for real, he walks into the bar and us as viewers could not tell whether this was the real bar or just another... because Nathan kept doing it. Every time you think this is real, it's like, no, no, this is still a rehearsal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
No. All of it. Again and again, and then they never tell you when the rehearsal is over because you're like, okay, this is the real, no, wait, no, still a rehearsal. Still rehearsing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
I mean, for him, I would guess it's off the strength of, hey, I made Nathan for you, and that was a successful show. If you give me a little bit more money, I can push it to another limit. But $60 million sounds low.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
Glass half full. Isn't that what the one seed should get? A patsy in the first round? That's what they should be getting. Why do we want that? They should get a bye. They should get a bye. Oh, no. No bye. We got to play the game. Bye. Hold on now. You know how much gate revenue we got? How much parking and concessions? Huh? You think we're just giving this shit away?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
Can we all agree there's nothing worse than the, come on, we're leaving, and you storm out and then the other person doesn't leave? That's a lonely place to be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
Chris, the sigh and the kind of little gaze he had right there, I know exactly what that is. I was like, I knew I shouldn't have done that shit, man. I knew I shouldn't have let her talk me into doing that. That's what that is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
Are you familiar with Bill Belichick? It's CBS. Absolutely. Absolutely. This is him getting styled by her. And if you want proof, did you see what she was wearing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
Mike, I'll agree with you on this. He's right in that the moment you knew you weren't going to pay him, you got to get out. There's no culture. There's no convincing him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
That was what we talked about at the time. It's not that, hey, this is a good deal. Why isn't Portland doing it? It's the, you won't even engage in conversation. Your star does not want to be there anymore. We're already here. Let's work. Let's at least give me a counter and then we'll work our way. This idea that we're not going to talk. But Mike... I don't know if that's hubris.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
The Jimmy Butler, hey, he's fine thing, that absolutely is hubris, which is crazy because you know who else made the same exact mistake? It was Tom Thibodeau in Minnesota where he was just like, no, no, Jimmy's fine. Jimmy told them as soon as their season was over, the last season, hey, not going to pay me, get rid of me. And Tibbs was like, no, no, he's fine. Jimmy's my guy. I understand him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
Just when the season starts, everything will be fine and everything unraveled. And so for them to not learn from that mistake at all and – For them to think that, oh, no, things are different here, even though this guy has demonstrated a specific way of handling that situation, it was a huge misstep.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
To me, the Lillard thing is just like what I was talking about earlier in the show with you, which is, yo, man, sometimes people just don't want to do a deal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
I don't think you can ever say we failed when it's... Trying to trade for someone.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
inherently a quote-unquote loser, but that's not the same as making a mistake. Now, if you want to do, hey, Kyle Lowry trading Dragic and Precious Achua to not only trade for Kyle Lowry, but to overpay him, that's a misstep. To say, hey, instead of just eating the Kyle Lowry contract, trading for Terry Rozier and having another year of that, those are missteps to me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
And obviously the Jimmy Butler thing we just talked about. But when you say, oh, I thought you were supposed to get Kevin Durant, but you didn't. Like, yeah, man, I'm It's not a unilateral thing. Someone else is working on this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
I think the mistakes you're talking about are marginal. The real ones are marginal mistakes. Mistakes, yes, but marginal mistakes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
That's a big time mistake. The Jimmy Butler thing, big time mistake. But not acquiring a trade, not consummating a trade.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris

Mike, I'm going to stick up for you here because one of the things that happens as you get older is you begin to realize things that we were fixated on as younger people is so dumb. And one of the biggest ones for me is the idea that, like, I'm a fan of basketball. I love basketball. Who's your favorite team? It's XYZ, the Miami Heat. Why would I chain myself?

Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
Can you? Do me the favor of just curling up in a fetal position somewhere out in the studio, somewhere else, on the floor. And when I want your heat analysis, I'll go to it curled up in the fetal position. So at the very least, I can hear your positivity and absorb your positivity as somebody who's broken today. Billy, why are you making faces at Jeremy and in general?

I want to explore something with you guys, though, here, because wherever the mental frailties in this sport reside, such that they are, okay, Jimmy has burnt through in Minnesota and Philadelphia and here an assortment of Ben Simmonses and Andrew Wiggins and Carl Anthony Towns where he's more what? He's a better player, but more of a bleep hole as well, wherever the alpha shit is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
He gets to Miami, and now we see what's played out over the last, I don't know, six months. And it is revealed to all of us that if you give the ball to Tyler Hero, he'll be an all-star and he'll get better, and that's what your team will look like. And revealed to all, like, oh, that's where Bam's limits are. None of those guys will carry you to anything. We didn't think Jimmy would.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
But Jimmy burned through a meeting, and I want you to explain sort of what's happening there with competition, with toughness and crazy people about competition, where Jimmy's burning through a line of teammates to get to something higher and revealing in his wake, oh, I don't think Carl Anthony Towns is as tough as he needs to be, or Wiggins is as tough as he needs to be, or Simmons is as tough as he needs to be, or Bam is as tough as he needs to be.

Greg Cody said, as the resident South Florida historian, that that's the worst playoff game of any kind played in South Florida since Dan Marino retired his final game because he was losing 62-7 in Jacksonville in a playoff game.

Zaslow, Billy, I don't know how I am to feel about this. That was an excellent rant by Zaslow about learning about the Heat team. I heard it first on the starting lineup with Frank Isola and Brian Scalabrini on the way in. It's a good take, but it's the second time I'm hearing it today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
It doesn't mean that they won't go get a whale or Antetokounmpo or Embiid or somebody, but it felt like the whole thing collapsed as you watched the Celtics, you know, they were even with the Celtics, the Celtics have expanded beyond them, and the Heat are now a 10 seed. And that's what happens when you allow 10 seeds to play a team that won 60 games during the season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
Mike, you've been very patient. I want all of your Panther thoughts in a moment. But first, let's just go up to Jeremy in a curled-up fetal position. Because as Zaz goes silver lining, this is what you want in Heat fans. No. No Heat fans wanted this. Oh, my God. There is Jeremy broken today because the Miami Heat. I don't know why we didn't start with a sad song or a eulogy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Can you turn his microphone down, please? It's already down. Because the people want to hear from him today, broken and tears. And the Heat fans around here hide sometimes. So, Mike Ryan, you were right about all Heat things two or three years ago. I don't know what we can castigate you on. You sort of predicted that all of this was coming. You wanted Bam out of here a long time ago.

Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
Zaslow, when you look at the architecture of the Miami Heat and missing the last few years on the people they've missed on and quantifiably, right, like this, this part I'm saying all the time because we saw it at the bubble at the rim. It was Bam and Tatum. And since then.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
The franchises have gone in totally opposite directions, where now the Celtics are the ones who have, oh, Peyton Pritchard, what is that? How does that happen that way? And as Mike said, it's not just Max Struess. Gabe Vinson ends up in L.A. That doesn't end up working. Caleb Martin never ends up being what it is that he was here. But the people who took the things they learned here—
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
LeBron took them to Cleveland, and Cleveland since then has rebuilt into something that I don't recognize since sort of before LeBron when it was Brad Doherty. Like, before LeBron, a different time in Cavs math, there have only been a couple times that the Cavs have been really good. Like, good where you, ooh, they can win a championship, good. And now it's one of them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
Like, the four guys they got, they didn't need Garland to do that to the heat the last two games. They are so much better than a 10 seed and probably the only real challenger in the East to Boston. I know Orlando gives them more of a fit than any team in the league because they haven't been tested the last two championship runs. Orlando somehow prevents Boston from making its threes.

But at the end of the game the other night, I mean, where it's Banquero and Wagner trying to beat Tatum and Brown, Orlando falls at the finish line.

But they're great. It's not just a great regular season team. They're obviously a great basketball team that can run with OKC. They can rebound with anybody. They're tough. They have all the things you need to win a championship.

Minor penalty, two minutes. Delay of show. No, and also this one. Hold on a second. It's going to be four minutes because he was staring right at you and you said Steve Kerr. I was very focused.

Not great. I want to talk about the heat with her, but also there's so much encompassed under the umbrella of Draymond Green shenanigans. Draymond Green playoff shenanigans. I mean, we're in round one. And honest to God, it's like rolling a grenade on the court with this person.

Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
I appreciate it. Look, we're four games in. And I heard for the first time in our history as a show. somebody was accused of chirping. And so now I knew the hockey playoffs had really begun because, well, I'm going to reveal my source. You were accusing someone else.

Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
At some point live in game, because I will say it again, in the history of basketball and numbers, on that scoreboard, there were absolutely numbers, a variety of different scores that have never been there before. There's no way that he'd have played a game where that was the halftime score before. That's not a thing that's happened before.

Zaslow will fit right in around here. He's already arriving late to work on important days. But I did hear him as he was late for work. He was very busy talking to the starting lineup on NBA radio with Frank Isola and Brian Scalabrini. So he was busy doing another job that made him late for this one. So he'll fit right in here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
He's very excited about everything that happened that was Panther related last night, as he should be. But I begin with what Greg Cody foretold. Oh, my God. The most lopsided basketball series of all time. Ernie Johnson said this might be the worst game I've watched. Do you know how much basketball that man has watched? You have Cody saying it's the worst loss since Marino goes out 62 to 7.

Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
You've got Donovan Mitchell saying we had to finish our breakfast, which is just a great quote. They came in here up 3-0 and at the half, they're up by a million points.

Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
But the thing that happened that was my single lowest moment in the last 15 years of Heat basketball is hearing on the radio, laughing broadcasters of the Cleveland Cavaliers saying, Ty Jerome hits a jump shot at the buzzer from half court and they're laughing. And to make it 111-63, and then this was the lowest moment. Ty Jerome, a typhoon in Miami. And I'm like, that's it. The heater done.

15 years of wonderful heat, done, over. Dies in a typhoon as a 10 seed.

Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
So this is the historic stuff that happened. The 122 points, the largest difference ever in a four-game series. The 122-point differential between the Cavs and the Heat. The 55-point loss, it's fifth worst in the history of the sport. And it's the first time that a team has lost back-to-back games by more than 30, playoff games by more than 30 points. And they did it at home. At home.

Shadow Show. Shadow in it. Billy, traffic was super bad today, so you were able to miss everything that broke out before you got here on just hockey enthusiasms and heat calamity, and there were a lot of people bouncing into each other, yelling at each other, and we're four games into the playoffs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
It's not just that it happened. It's the first time it's ever happened, but it happened to them at home. So that is the worst punctuation on a heat season there has ever been.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Do you know the indignity and insult it is that Ernie Johnson has called as much basketball as he has and he says that that's the worst thing that he's ever seen?

Okay, so last night feels bad for the Typhoon and then you watch Jimmy Butler limp through a playoff Jimmy game and he scores 27 points after you've just watched Bam and Tyler Hero do what they did, 17 points on whatever, 23 points.

All right, let's put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Do you want to watch extra innings West Coast baseball? Just yes or no is the question. Hey, guys. Welcome to Zaslow. He is late.

Yeah, it really was professional sounding studio for someone who was in his car. But okay, regardless, you were late and he's excited because there aren't a lot of things I don't think that you can do in 11 seconds. And I saw them happen a couple of times. During last night's Panthers game.

Who was it that was quoted after the game? Was it Seth Jones who was saying, I could feel the hatred on the ice. I could feel the hatred in the locker room.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
That is correct. That's part of what's happening. And the other thing that's happening, though, is that after a really magical, like truly magical, seems like the loudest sound I've ever heard in South Florida, 11 seconds of Panthers hockey, there was a brawl in here in which a bunch of people were arguing about whether Marchand had a good game last night or not.

Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
Well, the Warriors-Rockets thing is interesting for a lot of reasons. But one of them is, hey, the Rockets were better than Golden State the entire season. When you had Jimmy Butler, no longer better. That's the difference. And that's what Golden State did for Curry that made all of us believe that Jalen Green and the Rockets weren't ready for what it takes at this time of year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
As Draymond Green is telling Jalen. As Draymond is telling Jalen. Uh-huh. Go paint your nails because there's a generational difference there between what's happening with Draymond and what's happening with Jalen Greene. And Jalen Greene is saying, what was Draymond doing out there? He was just talking. That's all he can do. He doesn't do much of anything else.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Draymond is emboldened in voice right now because he's got Jimmy at his back.

Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
You said that. The thing that's interesting about this, and it's why it's such a cool thing to watch the gas pedal pressed on it, Jimmy, Draymond, Steph, can you do it 12 more times? It's just 12 games. The hot streak you had at the end of the regular season, can you put it together right now? I guess it's 13 more times, right? Can you do it 13 more times?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Will Jimmy's body hold up if that's what it looks like? and win number three, and that's what it takes. It's gonna take the road of, the Rockets are gonna be the easiest thing, you see.

And the road they have, because they got in on the play-in game and they didn't get the rest and everything else, the road they have makes it physically harder for that team to make it through, like the Clippers and some of these old teams, specifically because of what's being asked of Jimmy at this pace.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
The bet for the rest of this season is the Heat saying he can't do it for 13 more victories and Golden State saying we'll give you an extension to do it for 13 more victories.

As everyone now believes the punctuation, oh, it wasn't Riley. Culture for 15 years. Jimmy took that with him, and look at how it plays now, late-night television in Golden State, because it is something that the crazy can take with them, and it wasn't about your team or your organization or your principles. It was about the guy who now plays for a different champion.

Es ist immer interessant, wenn wir denken, wir sind stärker als die Leute da draußen. Und wenn Mike sagt, er versteht nicht die Kritik, würde ich sagen, meine Kritik an dem, was wir in diesem Jahr tun, ist... Wenn du gewinnst, feiern wir dich.

Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC
Not only what they do on the power play, what they've done to ransack that Carolina team through the first three games, then what that Carolina team does better than anyone is, if they're penalty killing, you're not scoring on them. They came into this series being exceptional at that, and Florida neutered them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC
And to me, this is a funny thing to say, right, because of what happened immediately afterward. I thought that series ended when Carolina had a five-minute power play, and Florida had the best chance during that five-minute power play, shorthanded, and then... Right after that, Florida got on the power play. However, I can't say that because Carolina immediately tied the score.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC
And so I can't say that the series ended there when Carolina then tied the series. And what Florida did in the third period is what Florida does. And this is Jalen Brunson land, right? When you have the thing that everyone in the sport envies. In the third, they're gonna hit you in the face with five goals and you're never gonna hit them in the face with five goals.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC
Denn du kannst die Panthers alles kritisieren, was du willst. Gegen diese Defense haben sie ein paar Tore gespielt. Und ich habe das nicht erwartet. Auch wenn Carolinas gewonnen wird, auch wenn Carolina in den Konferenzfinale 15 straight Spiele spielt, erwarte ich sie nicht, sechs Tore zu erzielen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Du hast gesagt, es ist eine Überreaktion. Ich sage, es ist nur eine Reaktion. Und was ich auch über Kachuk spezifisch sage... ist, wenn Mike sagt, dass sich alle auf diese Zeit hier aufgedrückt haben, nicht so ehrgeizig, dass ich die Unterschiede sehen kann zwischen ihnen, die ein guter Spieler sind, und ihnen, die nicht richtig aussehen.

Let me stop all of you when you say easy time. Well, the coach just told me he's preparing for seven. Or, I'm sorry, Marshawn said he's preparing for seven. It's the coach's message. The coach should... Well, you say always, but not in gesture if he's sitting Reinhardt right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Das ist das, was sie sagen. Das ist das, was sie tun. Ich verstehe das. Und es ist ihr Mantra. Aber es ist eine Lüge, wenn sie Reinhardt sitzen und ein Spiel geben.

Bring up the chat box so I can see all them ones. Mike, you sound super defensive. And all I asked, all I asked. was a question. Hey, yes and, is what I did. Mike, stop interrupting me. God almighty. Just God almighty, stop interrupting me for a second. I asked you a question.

Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC
I can't believe that that hit resulted in someone just being day-to-day. Is anybody making the joke, the dad joke, as celebrated on the Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody, is anyone making the joke about Sebastian calling him an ajo because of what he did to Reinhardt? That the retaliation came on Sebastian because he was clearly an ajo? No one's making that joke?

Why would they make that joke? It's a terrible joke.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC
No one's making that joke. It's a terrible joke. But I will say that the Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody has a weekly dad joke that is aggressively bad and it's more like a granddad joke.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC

Greg just sauntered in. He showed up, but did so with the courtesy of not lying to me when I asked him my first question. Er ist nur stillgeblieben und hat dann ein paar Geräusche gemacht, um seine Sachen auf die Flasche zu legen.

I'm not wrong that dad jokes by definition are bad, right? He makes the clarification that they're so bad that they're good. That's why they're dad jokes. But they are always bad. They're not good jokes on the front.

Ich werde die Basketball-Sachen weitergehen, weil ich Stugatz' Gedanken auf alle Dinge von den Knicks-Pacers bekommen möchte, als die Knicks ihre Saison in einer überraschenden Art und Weise retteten. Aber bevor ich das tue, wollte ich einfach mal nach Saturday Night zurückgehen, als ich den Start von Minnesota vs. OKC sah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC
Und Richard Jefferson hatte die Audazität, in der Intro zu diesem Spiel zu sagen, OKC und Minnesota, OKC war bis zu nichts. Quote Both teams are literally playing for their lives. Endquote. Which not only are they not doing it literally, obviously. More people would have been watching if it had been literal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC
Nor were they doing it metaphorically or in any other way, because that's not a thing that can happen when the series is 2-0. What he said made no sense whatsoever. Tony, you're shrugging your shoulder. You know how it is, Dan. You're live on air.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC
Oh, I gotta rebound. No, be better. Come on. You're previewing the game. I don't love him on the first team, by the way. I just wanted to say that I don't love Richard Jefferson on the first team. That's terrible. You can analyze and criticize any announcer for any one sentence, but that sentence is especially asinine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC
I think that the reaction of that show would make it so that Richard Jefferson shouting that would make it spectacle and even better. We'd be amazed. But what a weird thing to have happen. The first ever game for your actual life in the Western Conference Finals and it's the third game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC
My exact point on that game is the following. Having now seen that game in the way that Richard Jefferson described it beforehand, it is a game that literally no one involved will ever remember. Which is not something that would have been the case if they had literally been playing for their lives. Now having seen the result, Minnesota dragged OKC means nothing. Oder wenn sie die Knicks spielen.

The thing that you said about you were upset after game one, I actually sent out to some math friends of mine and some people who really know the history of basketball and I asked them, Wenn Halliburton diesen Schuss 10.000 Mal genommen hat, wie oft hat er das gemacht?

Put it on the poll. Put it at Levitard's show. Shooter's Touch. Is that math? Because Stugatz just said Shooter's Touch. That's the math. I like Tony Agreed. And again, I will say, I was trying to support Stugatz's point when he says, I think the Knicks are the better team. They're that close from being up 2-1. Yes.

And instead of their season being a quarter from done, the Knicks are a zero in 10,000 tries, because a few of my math friends then called a cooler friend Kevin Harlan. who then said he had never seen a ball go in after going that high after bouncing on the rim in all of his time covering basketball, all the games he's ever done.

That's the kind of math I'm looking for.

I don't believe that Stugatz is a... Has a math friend? A teller of truth or has a math friend. I believe that he's going to go bravado on the Knicks until they lose and then he will not show us his hurt. I believe that Stugatz has been concealing what is his real Metz...

Wenn er von OKC sagt, er ist nicht falsch darüber, aber gehen wir noch einmal zurück, wenn wir momentan hyperventilieren. Gehen wir noch einmal zurück, wenn OKC Paul George handelt, damit Kawhi Leonard und er mit den Clippers sein können.

Ich weiß, OKC hat ein paar Draftpicks und es ermöglicht ihnen, das Spiel völlig zu regeln. Und das ist, wie sie es regeln. Sie locken junge Spieler in einem Stadt, in dem sie nicht lange bleiben wollen. SGA wäre in einer Minute da, wenn er sein könnte, aber er muss da lange bleiben, weil sie das System gespielt haben und das ist, wie sie es machen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC
Mit einem dummen Draft nehmen sie Spieler, die mit diesen Talenten in der Welt, im Kapitalismus, Freiheit haben und sagen, du musst in einem Ort leben, das du hasst. Und es ist klein und klein und du musst dort für sieben Jahre leben. So werden sie es in einer Dynastie machen, indem sie die Mathematik gespielt haben. Ich habe meine Mathematiker gefragt. Sie haben die Mathematik gespielt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC
Und OKC, wo war die Analyse? Das wird in ein paar Jahren eine Dynastie sein. Denn sie sagten nichts über Danny Ainge, der alle Draftpicks sammelt. Und Danny Ainge sammelt viele Draftpicks.

So Stugatz came in here just a bit bewildered. He asked me correctly, it's the correct question to ask. Is Greg Cody in today? There's no proof of it. It's Tuesday. Ever since he said he's very punctual and never late, he hasn't been on time since.

Carolina Hurricanes, excuse me. Before yesterday, I can't believe that they had lost 15 straight Conference Finals games, which is an epic, epic way to be a loser.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC
Ja, wie geht das? Ich habe ein paar Fragen für euch. Nachdem Carolina Game 3 verloren hat, I thought Brenda Moore sounded as broken as any coach I've heard who still had games to play. I thought the comments coming out of the Panther locker room were interesting when they went up 3-0 and I didn't believe what they were saying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC
I didn't believe what Marchand said and I didn't believe what Paul Maurice said. Paul Maurice said in Game 3, which... would break any man coaching who had lost 14 straight conference finals games. To be in a game on the road trying to save your season, have the Panthers hit you with that onslaught in the third period of five goals in your face. Brindamore, when asked if his team was fragile,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC
Er sagte, ich weiß nicht. Und es war wie der fünfte größte gebrochene Kommentar, den er gemacht hat. Brindamore, den ich nicht denke, ist jemals gebrochen, aber für Gründe, die verständlich wären, würden die Panthers ihn brechen. Marchand sagte, nach dem 3-0, werden wir uns vorbereiten, als ob es 7 geht.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC
Und Paul Maurice sagte, im Spiel, der 6-2 war, in Spiel 3, er sagte, ich hatte ein zweites Stück Gumm bereit, weil ich bereit war, Double Overtime zu machen. Und ich denke nur, dass diese Leute lügen. Ich glaube nicht, dass das der echte Mindset dieses Teams ist.

He's obvious to the eye, not right, because something's physically wrong. Why doesn't it buy him anything? Why, as the person this important to the team, as the person at the center of a team that's winning, but not right now because of him, why doesn't it buy something with all of you that you know he's hurt and his performance doesn't match what it would if he weren't hurt?

Well, I asked a pretty bad hypothetical earlier. Yeah, you did. Okay, so go ahead and do that then, Billy. Well, no, we can get to that later. We're talking about the heat now. I'm just saying.

Chicago's a fun team. Listen, guys, just a couple of years ago, people were saying that he should lose a play-in game so that they could increase their shot at getting the number one pick or winning the lottery. And what happened?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Heat Stroke
The Heat went on a magical run because of culture and Jimmy Butler, and they made it all the way to the NBA Finals in a Hollywood-type story that just didn't have that ending that we needed. But once you win and you get in, anything can happen. I think this Heat team can go on a run.

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo. I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

I like to think at a real eulogy, Dan will also give a Netflix recommendation. Yeah, I know. And chicken nuggets. And put it on the pole. Chicken tendies on a gas station. That's what I will be doing at his funeral.

Hey, you should see the stuff that Furman's saying on his message board right now. It's sending me. It's sending me. Okay, so he's going to be... He's accusing that the scoop came from a booster, i.e. me. No, Peter Ruiz did some great reporting on this for weeks, and he's saying that it was amateur to leak this out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
As opposed to what actually happened, which was following every journalistic protocol in the book. What's amateur is you not apologizing for saying a report is inaccurate when it was 100% accurate.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
Well, I also wasn't the person that was reporting this. I did help with the confirmation, but no. In terms of what Gary is referring to, the university and Jay Lucas all got a heads up that this was coming out. We were aware of the sensitivities, and we were also aware that a slapdick was going to report it. Confirming.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
That's exactly what we needed. That's a good job. That's why he's head of scouting for the Cyclones. And that's...

Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
I'm not attacking Gary Furman. I'm just responding to a bunch of attacks that I think are unfounded. He's the one that went at my company's credibility when this was well reported by one of our employees and Peter Ruiz. Sound reporting. He was on Jay Lucas's name for weeks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
If he's upset that he came out there and put his reputation on the line by saying he was inaccurate and then immediately got embarrassed, I can understand that, but capitulate. I'm not out there embarrassing you. Greg Cody did that. Greg Cody did do that.

No, I liked how they bounced on that thing.

Yeah. Calgary Flames coming over from Canada. It's a road trip. And honestly, the Capitals are just playing really good hockey. I'm a fan of them.

Ron, the largest shark ever tagged is now off the coast of Florida. Do you care to revisit what you have said about sharks, showering them with praise when they are actually death machines?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
No, but that's convenient because you don't know what lies beneath the surface. Like, for example, in Australia, they have an abnormal amount of drownings.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
And criminals. It seems as though they're kind of like trying to skirt the law a little bit, which does not play well into the reputation. But these drownings, how do you think that ends?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Ron, if you're in chest-high water off the coast of North Florida, And I say, Ron, the largest great white shark ever tagged is just a couple of yards away from you. What are you doing?

Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Yeah. Yeah, but if that was a tuna, she'd have two hands. Because sharks are dangerous.

I wanted to ask him about the Luka Doncic defensive metrics. You see they're third in defense since the acquisition? Who had that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
It's surprising that in this small sample it's been third.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
I would say it would be impossible to hide for a game. They've hit it for multiple games. I would have thought that there's plenty of places you could attack them defensively.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
I've done some digging, and I found perhaps a player that you could pair with LeBron and Luka to make it a good defense. Now, they've been the number one scoring team, and they've also had the number one defense over the last 17 games, and they've been third since trading away Anthony Davis. However, there's this player, Jared Vanderbilt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
who is essential to their defense because they have a defensive rating of 110.7 with him on the court, but one of 116 points without him on the court. So when he's on the court helping their defense, it certainly hides the issues that you would assume would be there with LeBron at 40 and Luka.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Anthony Davis is supposed to be the guy that's awesome.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
That is the outlier, though. I think part of the explanation and why their defense has been so good is Hornets, Trailblazers, Jazz twice. That would certainly boost that defensive rating.

guess rightfully upset that their star players now hurt for what was an exhibition tournament turned out to be a lot more than an exhibition tournament it was the first opportunity to play best on best internationally for these players in 11 years in soccer country before club it's always such an honor to represent your country and it's cool to see that after 11 years that
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
No, you know how Stugatz is. Like, I think I'm going to Australia. Okay, cool. You want to tell us when? I don't know. Probably going to Syracuse first.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
The lure of the crest is not lost. That playing for his country was a huge honor for him. And as a Panther fan, you have to kind of accept that they're going to be playing with high-level intensity and some players can get hurt. Not the only American that got hurt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
Perhaps. Perhaps that frames it, although Florida is still very much a franchise that is competing for another Stanley Cup to go to their third straight Stanley Cup final. But I understand why people are upset about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
I think my perspective on it, because I follow soccer so much and understanding international breaks happen in the middle of the season and often top tier players pull muscle and aren't available on the club side, that it's just kind of next man up, country before club.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
Yeah, you know, your traditional Miami to Syracuse. You've got to go north to go south. Lax.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
Here's where I think there's an understandable frustration. The Boston Bruins came out with a team statement really chastising the training staff. I believe it's a Minnesota Wild training staff that was assigned to take care of Team USA. Chucky was injured. He missed the game against Sweden. And the staff and Chucky all came to an agreement.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
I am sure there was communication back to the Florida Panthers. He's got to give it a go. And you could seize on that decision. He was hurt enough to miss a game. We rushed him back. Other players were held out of the tournament. Quinn Hughes wasn't deemed healthy enough by the Vancouver Canucks to go play in this Four Nations competition.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
What happened to Charlie McAvoy is interesting. Charlie McAvoy suffers a hit, then gets some sort of complication that sees him going to Mass General when he was supposed to be in the care of this training staff. They botch it to the point that he has to get admitted to the hospital. So you can have your questions about Team USA's training staff, I guess.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
Yes, but that daughter's in Australia.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
I don't know. Because Chucky wasn't in it. If Chuck wasn't playing in the championship game against Canada, I would have been disappointed. Like, tough it out. This is a really huge game for hockey in this country. It would be a huge honor to beat Canada in that sport and secure a championship against them on the international level, best on best. So I'm glad he gave it a go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
I'm fortunate that he's going to be out a couple of weeks. Thankfully, the Florida Panthers are good enough to withstand this absence. Maybe they make a move before the deadline, but it comes with the territory.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
He just did the Tonight Show. A Florida Panther went on... Or a USA hockey player. That's kind of where he went. He went on the Cadillac of late night talk show properties. Is it still? In terms of fame, the Tonight Show means something. Do we still make Cadillac?

It's way more offensive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
I mean, they've been working on the highways my entire life. My entire life. The 836 and the 826 have been under construction. So I got to think they're working on it. They work on it so long that by the time they complete something, they have to work on a new thing again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
I'm more worried about that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
We all agree that the MLS playoffs, winning that championship, is the one that he's going to be judged against because that's the one that most casual fans understand. Correct. But he's been here for a season and a half, and he's won two major trophies as a member.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
I mean, it was the first year, but yes, it was against Liga Mekis, and they won that knockout tournament. Debatable. Well, it's not debatable that they won.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
All the tournaments are made up. It's a similar tournament, right? All the tournaments are made up. They were wire-to-wire the best regular season team, which in soccer, that's how you judge who wins a league.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
Historically. Then here in the United States and in Canada, we need to have playoffs because that's how North America gets down.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
They've won two trophies. This is a disconnect that I kind of understand because he needs to win the league. And I try to argue that he has won the league. But no, he needs to win the playoffs. Okay, so he'll win that too. He'll get to that. He's won two other trophies. They're in the Club World Cup.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

They're in the kickoff game against that where they test their mettle against top clubs from all over the world. And that's something that they earned their way in because they won things to get in there. So they've won things of significance here.

St. Ben Gundy's really good on the topic. But sometimes even Greg Popovich, the franchise dips in such a way that it's impossible to dig out from immediately. I think, look, the peers respect Spoh. The players respect Spoh, especially now that Jimmy's gone. This is time to get Eric Spoh for some players. He's a proven commodity.

You're isolating it to Terry Rozier and you're not giving me enough credit. Yeah. You're not. This whole thing was predicted two years ago. This is the end game, Spence, for what they have wrought. They decided to sit idly by while everyone else in their conference got better. I feel like I sound like a broken record.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
I'm incapable of new thoughts when it comes to this franchise because I've been saying this was coming for two years. It's a failure on the leadership when it comes to talent acquisition. Even when they actually acquire people, it's Kyle Lowry and Terry Rozier. And we were saying, no, don't do that.

Realize that, hey, BAM, we got the most out of you. Thank you so much. Let's get some assets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
And neither was Jimmy for a long time. We even put out a press release saying that we're not going to trade him. No. This franchise, I understand, but it was, in retrospect, really such a bad thing that happened. Them being such a historical outlier and getting hot and making it to those two finals because that wasn't a championship team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
It's a tough one. And look, we went into this draft looking to reshape the roster. We only added one new face. Ikeda came back. He was away for a season. But we added Iñaki, who was a former Division I player. He's now in Division II. Division I what? A front quarter. Highlight? Yeah, yeah. Where do they play college highlight? No, no, it's not college. It's his ranking. You don't know Pelota.

They failed so many times in talent acquisition. They failed in the mission that we all agreed. Jimmy Butler is not good enough to be your best player on a championship winning team.

just wanted a hug at the end it wouldn't have just been about a hug he would have found something else to complain about it's just he i understand why he feels like his time is wasted but it's just a weird messenger from a guy that's been wasting our time now for he's doing the far thing over and over again will he or won't he only he doesn't have the suitors

I'm at the point where my eyes just gloss over when I see any bit of text written about Aaron Rodgers. I just, like, I don't care. I don't want to cover everything he says like it's news anymore. And my eyes just gloss over it. And I'm like, play, don't play, I don't care. Let me know in September what team he's on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: John Ortiz Loves The Boost Mobile Hotline
That, to me, is what I'm seizing on here. It's a weird message coming from Aaron Rodgers. Like often, he exposes his own hypocrisies, and that's fine. We can be hypocritical people, but at least have the self-awareness here that they are very clearly starting a new chapter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: John Ortiz Loves The Boost Mobile Hotline
Well, the market's not treating him like that. Understood, but do you understand how he arrives at the blind spot? I know how he became an egomaniac and kept finding out algorithms that just fortified his own beliefs. I read a book on the guy with my ears. I understand how this came to be, but I don't like it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: John Ortiz Loves The Boost Mobile Hotline
I really take exception to it when you start taking shots at people because on his way out the door, he wanted to make one more mess for the Jets and say, the guy that you hired, he's not a good people person. This is how he treated me. Dude, it didn't work out. They did you a great service by telling you directly to your face, your future is not with us anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: John Ortiz Loves The Boost Mobile Hotline
For you to still be taking pot shots out of what history will reflect on your time over there with the New York Jets is one of the biggest sporting disasters of all time.

May I just add, it will not go down as one of the biggest sporting disasters of all time because of how boring and uninteresting it was. We will not remember it because it basically never happened.

There was complaining about how there's no plot. And that part I find weird because it never had a, like, it's never been, it's like, part of me is just like, bro, this is the vibe. Like, I'm world building. You know what I mean? It's just like, you know, like, you know, if you don't want to go to bed with me, get out of my bed. Like, you know what I mean? I'm edging you, you know?

It's like, enjoy the edging. Like, you don't want to be edged. Get out of my bed.

It's just like, don't be a bossy bottom or get the fuck out of my bed. Like, don't come home with me. Don't get naked in my bed. Get the fuck out of my bed. All right. I love being edged by you, Mike. Obviously, something's going to happen. I'm not going to just like, yeah, we're not going to leave you here.

Do you care about the opinions of people who are irrelevant? You don't care about the opinions of most people who are very relevant in your life. You don't care what the opinions of the people who pay you. They sit there and they go, hey, Mr. McAfee, don't talk about Shannon Sharp on the air today. And you go, I talk about anything I want. I'm Pat McAfee.

Watch me swing my schlong all over the place. They go, McAfee, don't talk about your podcast on the air. What do you do? I'm King Schlong. Watch me, Pat McAfee. This is on you. This is about you, not me, not me. Last night, when the roast was over, and you and I were out back, and you're going, wise man. By the way, it's puff, puff, pass.

The man, Stephen A. Smith, is on the air saying, if there's one person in the universe that I, Stephen A. Smith, at $70 billion a year, want to be, it's the wise man Paul Heyman. And you sit there and you go, these ESPN bastards give me the same money as him or they can... No, that's not true.

The Big Suey: The Twins Who Share a Brain
Du sagst es während der Runde und manchmal zeigen sie diese Spiele auf NBA-TV und es ist so seltsam, dass Kawhi Leonard eine Serie dominiert. Wenn du über die Spieler denkst, die auf dem Tor waren und die Geschichte, dann erinnerst du dich an die Finals für die, die nicht auf dem Tor waren. Aber er hat sehr selten zwei Füße auf dem Boden in dieser ganzen Serie.

Well, Doctor, I can't diagnose it from the video that I saw, but it did seem like one was trailing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Twins Who Share a Brain
Sie haben vorher Medien gemacht und das könnte nur ihre Sache sein. Ich bin sicher, dass es eine Synchronisierung gibt, aber es sieht aus, als wäre es ein bisschen vergrößert von dem Video, weil man kann sehen, dass eine Twins die andere Mund schaue.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Twins Who Share a Brain
Die Angelegenheit ist, dass es eine Synchronicität gibt, aber sie es amplifizieren, weil es ihr Ding ist. Das ist meine Angelegenheit. Wussten Sie, dass die CIA einen UFO-Report beklasselt hat, der sagte, es gab drei kleine Wesen, die herausgekommen sind, eines ausgetauscht haben, 20 mehr sowjetische Soldaten angeschaut haben und sie in Stein gelegt haben?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Twins Who Share a Brain
Check it out for yourself, man. It's on Easter Island. It was out there. Those weren't the Soviets. We found the Ark of the Covenant and we're just all moving on with our lives. They found it in the 80s and the CIA report was like it's guarded by an entity and You know, this stuff is out there.

They turned a stone. Sie sind zu Stein geflogen. Das ist nicht seit Sodom und Gomorra, dass wir so etwas gesehen haben.

Ich habe einen Boden zu wählen mit Stugatz. Stugatz hat es mir so ausgedrückt, als hätte er mich mit Deaden Company-Tickets verabschiedet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Twins Who Share a Brain
Nein, ich habe gesucht. Ich hätte das gleiche Ticket auf dem Primärmarkt bekommen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Twins Who Share a Brain
Nein, nein. Er hat mir GA-Tickets gegeben und ich habe es literally cross-referenziert.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Twins Who Share a Brain
Nein. No, no, trust me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Twins Who Share a Brain
And then he was like complaining that I wanted, that I'm the worst person to get tickets for. Again, I paid for the tickets because I wanted to know all the details. I'm sorry I wanted to know where I pick up my tickets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Twins Who Share a Brain
I literally traveled in that day and had no idea how to actually get the tickets you said you got for me that I could have avoided all this hassle by just going to the primary market.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Twins Who Share a Brain
I mean, I never really... Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass er mit den Tickets durchkommen würde. Aber ich hatte vor, dass es ein Stugazzi-Geschmack geben würde. Aber ich weiß, dass er es immer wieder verliert. Wenn Stu legitimitär Tickets bekommen will, kann er sie mit Relativ-Ease kaufen, weil er einen direkten Durchbruch hat. Ich wollte nur Stus durchgehen, weil er immer gefordert wird.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Twins Who Share a Brain
Aber er hat mich nicht aufgehängt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Twins Who Share a Brain
I got exactly what I expected. I would have preferred a better deal. He kept saying face value. Yeah, there were tickets available for face value.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Twins Who Share a Brain
Billy, you're making faces during this. Your appraisal is what? I don't know what these faces mean.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Twins Who Share a Brain
Nein, mein Griff ist, wie er es präsentiert. Wie er über, über und über ging. Als er einfach ein E-Mail zu einem Mann sendet, dass ich den vollen Preis für Tickets bezahlt habe und ich keinen extra Zugang bekommen habe. Und alles, was ich für ihn gefragt habe, er hat mich wie ein Hound gesungen. Er würde mir nicht sagen, wo ich meine Tickets holen kann.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Twins Who Share a Brain
Ich denke, ich war ziemlich entspannt darüber.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Twins Who Share a Brain
Ich ging durch Sugatz, weil er immer gesagt hat, wenn du die Toten sehen möchtest, dann schiebe ich mich auf. Oh ja, er sagt das oft. Also dachte ich mir, oh, da gibt es ein einzigartiges Spezialeinkommen, das ich nicht normal haben würde.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Twins Who Share a Brain
Ich war in einem Will-Call-Platz, das für Freunde und Familie war, aber es bedeutet nur, dass die Linie, die ich nicht wusste, wo ich hingehen musste, bis zu Stunden vor dem Event, kürzer wäre. Das ist der einzige Zugang, den ich bekommen habe. Und ich bin total gut damit. Ich bin gut mit Tickets zu bezahlen. Ich bin gut mit all dem.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Twins Who Share a Brain
Das ist genau das, was ich erwartet habe, bis zu der Sugatz-Erfahrung. Aber schmutz es nicht, als du mich mit so etwas verbunden hast. Ich hätte einen anderen Mann durchgehen können.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Twins Who Share a Brain
Because he lied! He made it seem like something he's not, when I could have just gone to game time. You talked to two guys to do it, what do you expect? It's good, right? It's a minimalistic setup. I like that. But I have a... Chris Cody, what time is it? It's game time, MLB, NBA, whatever you need.

Why do you do this all the time with hockey? We did fun bit on the front end. He doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. He's just talking shit, just making waves, trying to get decontextualized and have this be bulletin board material, even though he's not even watching. We're doing the nonsense. We're saying Brad Morshand is a bad person. You said that too.

Wir haben ein Show gemacht, aber wir haben auch gesagt, hey, erinnerst du dich an das Jahr, als Kucherov völlig neutralisiert wurde? Ich wundere, ob sie das wieder tun könnten.

Es wäre wirklich verrückter mit Harden, der für sie gut war und einer der rareren Superstar war, der nach Los Angeles geht und weniger ein Star wird. James Harden wurde nicht so ruhig, weil er nicht die Mannschaften als gewohnt hält. Er ist sehr unnötig, was sie auf Offense tun. Es ist schockierend, wenn Kawhi so spielt. Es ist weniger schockierend, wenn er für Game 3 rauskommt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Ich bin wirklich gespannt, wer einen tieferen Rund macht, wer einen Finals-Rund macht. Weil wenn du die letzten paar Jahre im NBA steckst, in Bezug auf die Teams, die in den Finals kommen, ist es wirklich unvergesslich. compared to the NBA that we grew up watching. Well, it's six straight years different champs, which has never, ever happened. It's crazy. And just think of these runs.

Miami Heat doing it as an 8th seed. A random NBA final, seemingly, with the Suns and Bucks in the middle of it. In the day and age of player rest and load management and play-ins, teams are approaching the regular season way differently to the point that they can make people sound really foolish with their analysis because these teams themselves aren't taking it seriously.

Roy, who are they going to have Marshawn with? They're probably going to have him on the third line. I was hoping that he would be on the second line, but they're probably not. You think with Lundell and Listerainen? Yeah.

The internet says 5'7", but I don't quite believe that. I've stood next to Tom Cruise one time at Blizzard Beach in Orlando, and I towered over him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Yeah, this was right after the divorce or as the divorce was being finalized. So he brought his daughter who was like a little kid at the time to Blizzard Beach and was walking through. I was there with the camp that I'm volunteering for. I was talking to one of the counselors and he looked right past me as if he had seen a ghost. So I turned to my right and I was like, who's this short guy?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
It doesn't matter. I turned back. And then I looked and it's Tom Cruise. And then all of a sudden, because he realized that we noticed him, he starts speeding up and he's dragging his daughter along. And then I realized there's a security detail behind him. And they all ran up and we tried to throw a Camp Fiesta bracelet at him and tell him, hey, there's this camp and it's really cool.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
And then we lied to everybody at the camp and told them that we actually talked to Tom Cruise. But we only told one person. And then by the time we got back to the base where everybody was hanging out at camp, all 80 people at the camp thought that we had met Tom Cruise. We kept that lie going for like five years.

Basketball players be hockey players. If I may, there's one thing that Dominique said, like, I don't understand. Like, we all just kind of went with it. The NFL showed you that owners, management, players, down the line, they can all get on the same message and understand what affects business. And we're affording basketball. We don't think basketball players can do the same thing.

Whatever the NBA is dealing with right now, keep in mind, Roger Goodell was dealing with people complaining about the style of play because it was bad at the time. Ray Rice and Colin Kaepernick.

When the NFL decided to stop the Kaepernick thing, no more kneeling during the anthems, we're all going to get aligned in the name of business. Their numbers increased.

Hour 2: Sir, Do You Know Where I Can Find A Bathroom?
No, I don't want to suppress the labor enough to where they have to bend the knee. I'm just saying that there's numbers proving that they are not headed in the right direction. and you guys are just saying, well, that's their toast. It is what it is. This is always going to be the power dynamic.

Hour 2: Sir, Do You Know Where I Can Find A Bathroom?
We're workshopping here. I don't think that there's a bad spitball here. There are great explanations for it. But let me give you an example in which business crossed platforms and barriers and everybody got aligned because the NBA has shown you they can do this. Adam Silver has shown you they can do this. China. They did it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Sir, Do You Know Where I Can Find A Bathroom?
Because while the arrow's pointing down here, globally, the sport is still growing. They're looking at international expansion, as all these leagues are. They're not just limited. Yeah, we're probably not going to grow anymore in the States. We can turn some of those numbers around, but our big growth for our sport is internationally. They got the message on China.

Ich weiß, dass die Zeiten unmöglich sind, um zu vergleichen, aber einige der Jungs, die in der Liga sind, besonders einige der Jungs, die am meisten bekannt sind, LeBron zum Beispiel, Kevin Durant, waren da, als David Stern da war.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Perception Is Not Reality
Aber ich habe einfach eine schwierige Zeit, mich daran zu wenden. Es würde sich definitiv anders fühlen, wenn David Stern verantwortlich gewesen wäre. Er war so ein Kult der Persönlichkeit, dass die Spieler so viel Macht bekommen hätten, dass Adam Silver, den wir alle bezeichnen, Er geht in den Lockerraum und sagt, okay, Leute, lasst uns versuchen, Amerika ein gutes Spiel zu geben.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Ja, 100 Prozent. Und ich bin froh, dass es ganz ehrlich herausgekommen ist, weil ich nicht Fan war, wie Restrepo das Spiel vorbereitet hat. Es war schlecht. Und Restrepo hat dieses Ding, Unterhüter-Mentalität, er hat sich auf den All-Time-Leader der Universität Miami entwickelt, aber es gibt viele Mythen. Der Typ macht viele Dinge für Likes und, du weißt, ein kräftiger Typ.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Jeder denkt, das muss ein großer Team-Typ sein. It wasn't about the NFL. If it was about the NFL, Cam Ward wouldn't have been playing. Cam Ward said directly, there were some guys that weren't playing in that bowl game that should have been playing in that bowl game. Cam Ward entered that bowl game against a top five pass defense without three of his four leading receivers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Elijah Arroyo might be a first round pick. Er war da draußen. Cam Ward könnte der erste Overall-Pick sein. Er war da draußen. Xavier Reschrepo wollte nicht draußen sein. Xavier Reschrepo hatte keine Schmerzen. Er hat die Entscheidung gemacht. Und das ist okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Aber wenn der Nummer 1 Overall-Pick potenziell spielt, wenn der Mann, der dir die All-Time-Leading-Receiver-Statistik bei der Universität Miami hilft, spielt, denke ich, dass du es ihm verdienst. Und für mich ging es nicht um die NFL. Es ging um die Präparation, die in die Bowl-Game ging. Es ging um die zwei Wochen, in denen Xavier Reschrepo nicht teilnehmen wollte.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Ich bin froh, dass er an die Aufgabe gekommen ist, weil ich denke, Xavier Reschrepo wird sich zurücksehen lassen und das regreieren lassen. Weil der Weg, den er weggezogen hat, die Leute in einem gewissen Art und Weise gefühlt hat. Das ist nicht der Ausflug, den wir geglaubt haben. Das ist nicht der Mythos, den wir verkaufen wollten.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Es ist eine halbe schlimmer. Nein, es ist viel schlimmer, weil Cam Ward nicht nur für die erste Halbzeit da war, was spektakulär war. Er war da mit seinen Brüdern für zwei Wochen, ging zur Praxis, ging durch den Grind, vorbereitete sich für das Bowl-Spiel, ein letztes Spiel mit seinen Jungs. Xavier Ruiz-Raphael hat nichts gemacht. Er hat alles geoppt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Er hätte nicht gespielt und noch nicht auf dem Programm gespielt. Das ist sein Vorgang. Aber niemand sagte etwas. Die Leute wussten, dass es hinter den Szenen geht. Er muss alles tun, was er will. Aber ich fand es überraschend. Du machst etwas, was viele Fans tun werden.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Was mich am meisten überrascht hat, war, dass Cam ein nationales Thema geworden ist, weil er nicht in der zweiten Halbzeit gespielt hat, als Cam eine ganze Halbzeit mehr gespielt hat, als er gebraucht hat. Miami hat Carson Beck heute, weil sie mit dem Plan in die Bowl-Game gegangen sind. Sie mussten Emory Williams evaluieren.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Sie hatten den besten Verteidiger im Portal, der nach Miami gekommen ist, weil sie nicht Cam das ganze Spiel gespielt hat. Cam hat eine Halbzeit mehr gespielt, als ich gehört habe, dass er spielen wird. Es geht nicht darum. Es geht darum, dass dieser Kerl und viele andere Spieler in der NIL-Ära sagen, dass die Bowl-Games ein bisschen mehr bedeuten werden. Wir werden nicht Teil des Problems sein.

Es ist wie in der NBA-Diskussion. Wir werden tatsächlich spielen. Und Cam wurde national verurteilt, weil er eigentlich mehr spielt. Wenn er überhaupt nicht gespielt hätte, hätte er keine Kritik bekommen. Aber die Tatsache, dass er nur eine Halbzeit gespielt hat, machte das mehr Sinn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
In der Zwischenzeit, ein Typ wie Xavier Restrepo, der sich auf den gesamten Prozess des Ballpreppes konzentriert hat, ist einfach nicht fair.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
I'm just saying... And they'd be stuck with Emery Williams if Cam Ward does play that second half. Nobody believes that. Nobody believes that? He just told you that, though. He's telling you that from the inside of it. Emery Williams is the quarterback if you don't get the chance to evaluate him in that bowl game. I'm telling you, 100% certain.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Ich sage nicht, dass du falsch bist, das ist einfach wild.

Sie liebten Emery. Offensive Coordinators fallen in Liebe mit verschiedenen Jungs. Das ist so, wie Kirk Cousins fast 1 Billion Dollar gemacht hat. Sie lieben Jungs, die den Offensiv ausüben. Es gab viele Leute, Boosters und Leute auf der Staff, die ihre Fragen darüber hatten. Aber Menschen wie Shannon Dawson liebten Emery Williams, zum Beispiel.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Und die gesamte Coach-Staff liebte Emery Williams' Grit. Ich, als jemand, der gerade im Training war und die Spiele gespielt hat, habe keine besonderen Talenten gesehen. Ich wollte immer die Position verbessern, aber ich sage dir, die zweite Halbzeit war massiv für das, wo Miami sich jetzt mit Carson Beck befindet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Ich sage dir auch mit Sicherheit, dass der Weg, den Xavier Restrepo auf dieses Spiel geschaut hat, nicht gut erhoben wurde. Es fühlte sich schlecht an. Es fühlte sich eher an wie Sam Brown, der auch auf dem Team gestoßen wurde. Aber egal, er ist Sam Brown. Es gab ein paar Leute, die wussten, was sie riskieren sollten.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Leute mit legitimen NFL-Prospekten, die wussten, was sie riskieren sollten, indem sie die Schulterpads anziehen. Look, Kim Ward would have liked to have taken two weeks off and prepared for the NFL Draft and not have to worry and watch film, but he didn't do that. For his teammates, he went out there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
And then he got vilified by the national media for doing just that, where he could have just been playing golf like some of his other teammates.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Ich habe auch die Chain of Command respektiert, weil ich nicht darüber sprechen wollte, bis Cam Ward mir einen Beweis gegeben hat. Du hättest nicht über den Pop-Tarts-Bowl sprechen wollen. Ich hätte nicht über Xavier Reschrepo aus dem Bowl-Spiel sprechen wollen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Es ist ziemlich erstaunlich, dass die zweite Halbzeit so schrecklich war, dass Miami ihren ganzen Plan für diese Position verändert hat. Es ist schwer zu glauben.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Ridiculous. No. It was decidedly pro Emery and then after that half, everyone kind of knew. Everyone kind of knew.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Ja, ich bin nicht davon überzeugt. Er hat sich auch für den NFL-Draft angekündigt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
He didn't know about Carson Beck at the time. Carson Beck was talked about as possible solutions. Mario Cristobal hadn't spoken to Carson Beck.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Ist das so? Weil jeder von euch hat die gleiche Vorstellung von Emery Williams. Ich dachte nie, dass er gut war.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Ist das nicht so, wo du bist?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Es war ziemlich offensichtlich für alle, dass Miamis Defense ein Schmuck war und dass die Veränderungen gemacht werden mussten. Manchmal hilft es dir, nicht super nah dran zu sein. Die Staffel liebte Emory Williams und die Staffel sah den präzisen Fall zwischen Cam Ward, einem potenziellen Nr. 1-Pick, und Emory Williams. Es war nicht eine richtige Situation für Emory Williams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Aber es war offensichtlich. Wenn Emre Williams in der zweiten Halbzeit gut spielt und Miami das Spiel gewinnt, ist Emre Williams in aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nächstes Saison-Quarterback.

Yeah, it's a bummer for a 10 that way. But I watched part of the show yesterday trying to make light of Miami's season. It was a good season. It was a real good season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
I understand that. But like I said, don't get me started on it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
You're really trying to get me started, and I said don't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
I'd rather lose it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
OK, you got me started on it. My whole thing about the Pop-Tart Bowl is Jess is right when she says it is supposed to be a prestigious bowl and that it's supposed to be the top ACC team that's not going to a CFP game. And if this was a seven win season, this was an eight win season. Look, last year I was all about the bad boy mowers pinstripe bowl. All about it. You can lean into it's a mean bowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
It's a bowl that exists for memes and the teams that are playing in it are used as punchlines for the toasters and the Pop-Tarts. And it's just when you come that close to the CFP, you see the bowl game that is most active making a joke of itself on the Internet. It's just kind of like a bummer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
I feel like I make fun of the team. It's too fun.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Just give me an old white guy in a royal blue blazer handing me a normal-looking trophy and saying congratulations on your season. That's how you actually stick out these days. You've got to dump mayo. You've got to dump potatoes. You've got to dump coffee. I get it. It's all fun and games for everybody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
But if this is supposed to be one of the more prestigious ones, how about we stop making fun of the teams that are in it? Mm-hmm.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
I'm good with the gimmicky ones for, like, bad teams. Right. For, like, teams that are just eligible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
No, I understand that. And that's a sick bar, dude.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
I'm jealous. I'm jealous. Other teams get to go to a normal, like, holiday bowl. Give me that. Their whole thing is like, are they still Culligan? Give me that. What about the Wasabi Fenway Bowl? That one seems fine. Two college basketball programs playing in a baseball stadium. That's what I like.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Oh, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
It's often with Schusen, who you've said is your dear friend. I love Bob.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Kind of feel like the map would be all over the place then, no? It'd be. It'd be like A1. It could go anywhere.

It feels like you're trying to steal this segment away from Tony by making it Royce's top five.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
He's proven worthy of that contract. He's a good player. Is he ever going to be confused with the best in the sport? No. But can you win with him? Absolutely. I hope they do because it'd be a really great story for him. This guy was playing defensive end on scout team for the Carolina Panthers. Crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
No doubt. No doubt. This guy's big sin was to play through an injury and maybe could have been a little bit more professional about his time over there, but they shoved him out the door and replaced him with Deshaun Watson.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Sorry, we wrote them all. There are no more Royce Top Tens. Is Dwork going to be there?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
And for a team that was struggling for 20 plus years to find a quarterback, for them to have one, for them to have one who was runner up in the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, said all sorts of passing records as a rookie, won a wildcard game at Pittsburgh, made Ben Roethlisberger all sad. That's the stuff that you were dying for. as a Browns fan, and you couldn't wait to push him out the door.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Hours after he flew into town.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
That lands so harshly to Carolina Panthers fans as both of them excel.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
I've asked people on the know, independent of the injury, which is, I think, a huge part of this, which made him play worse, which if he's not playing worse, then you don't open the door to him leaving. But by all accounts, it seemed as though Baker's time at Cleveland was at an end. There were divisions in the locker room. He had worn out his welcome. He was at a different point in his career.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
But you could make a quick evaluation on Baker Mayfield. In retrospect, he was really good as a rookie. He wasn't as good when he had Freddie Kitchens, one of the worst head coaches of all time, as his head coach in that second year. Really good his third year, wins a playoff game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
And in his fourth year, he battles through multiple bad injuries and tries to tough it out, which affects his performance. You could look at the first four years of his career and say, I can explain why he's bad. And I'm pretty confident this guy is good. That's what I kept saying as it was happening. I did not want Deshaun Watson. I wanted to keep Baker. I was team Baker all the way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
I didn't want to replace him. While other people were saying this team is just a quarterback away, no, they're just a healthy Baker Mayfield away.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
You're the one that keeps pushing this Rose thing, and you keep saying Lucy. I think you're the biggest Rose guy here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Does Tony want to say it now too?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
What's in Vegas?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
What's in Vegas?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But what's going on? Is there a show in Vegas? Is there a show in Vegas that she goes to?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
It's a toy drive. Back up Chris's judgment here. Do you want to go to it again? Hey, folks, it's Mike Ryan. The holiday season is upon us. Christmas is coming next week. So what are you doing for it? I imagine you're going to have some family over. How do you entertain the family? How do you keep everybody happy? Well, I know one easy way. Make your holiday time Miller time.

It's not even west of the Turnpike.

Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Bring out a nice silver platter of that beautiful white can. Or bottle whatever your preference. Heck, do it on draft. As long as it's got that beautiful amber color and was Triple Hops brewed, you know it's going to be a hit. Why? Because Miller Lite has tastes you know you can depend on. No games, no gimmicks, just great beer for people who like beer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid

Football season ended in Syracuse for me.

It's like more of a car PEZ dispenser. Really? Huh.

Let's not vamp on this one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Less inflatables somehow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Yeah. There's a silencer technique. And also, you're not in control of how much water is in the bowl. If there is a bowl that has less water in it, you're probably going to want to go closer to D2 range.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
You go corners.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
You want it to cascade off the side and it limits the sound. You can also sit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I mean, you guys are all like, all the ladies are like J5, right? Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Yeah. Well, I guess my mistake. H5. F5. Huh?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
E5.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
What if it's a public restroom?

Dan, we dug ourselves out of that awkwardness, and we're giving Tony a shine. Not to throw it back in his face and have him spiral.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Tell Dan about the 40-burger, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Tony, number two. And later we're going full circle.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Well, that was a joke.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Now it's his turn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
I think I just ruined it. We'll play the game later, though. Jeez. Hey folks, it's Mike Ryan. The holiday season is upon us. Christmas is coming next week. So what are you doing for it?

They're selling Rose now. Sorry, we've moved on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
And that's very convenient because you can just pull up to that location, and it's in a mall. So if you don't have a toy with you, walk in the mall, grab a toy, and bring it to Vivo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

That Packers who's who performance actually paved the way for the Rams to host a playoff game and beat anybody.

The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Baby, I can tell you that I'm pissed they hit Rose with the spray. Oh, she sounded like a goose who stepped on with heels. Yeah, even though Rose wasn't due, it's Harry and Lucy laughing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
She's like, you're not going to believe this. We're going back to you. You're going back to another pageant.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
They ran it back? I did this once before. O-L-I, O-L-I, I have a top five.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
She got me. The rare. I haven't seen Miss Congeniality 2. I'm sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
I took a guess that they decided to repeat the formula, the wildly successful Miss Congeniality 1. And I missed the mark. For that, I apologize.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Okay, but I saw you two... You sure there isn't a beauty pageant? Because Sister Act 2, back in the habit, was kind of, like, different, but also similar. In that she was still a nun.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
And he faked it. I'm like a dog with a bone on this one. There's got to be some sort of beauty contest.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
There has to be a pageant somewhere.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Yeah, there has to be a pageant. Maybe she's one of the judges at the pageant.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
No, not at all. No, I'm telling you, there's a pageant in this goddamn movie. It's Mike's favorite American comedy. There has to be a pageant. She's got the whole pageant sash.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Do you know who you're speaking to? There is 100% a goddamn pageant in this movie.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
So everyone's in the car singing one song and she's just doing Florence at the top of her lungs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Yeah, he hit it off of Skinner. This is a complete play. Reinhardt's a great two-way player. Doesn't get the attention because he's on the team with Barkov, who was out... by the way. And this was such a huge win because the Oilers came in red hot, five in a row, scoring over five goals a game in that five. And they flatly don't lose when they score over five goals.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Panthers haven't been shut out again. The usual part of the calendar where they dip, they go down two goals and you think it's over. And then they have this incredible performance. And that is how you fake something without having watched it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
I definitely didn't give up on that game after they went down two goals. Definitely didn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
I'm totally good with the wizard should be a Jeff Goldblum type. So Jeff Goldblum playing himself. I didn't have an issue with it, but I get what you're saying. But I also was a wicked virgin going into it. I love The Wizard of Oz, but I'd never seen the musical. And I came away blown away by it. And that's exactly what movies should be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
It felt like a throwback, not just because it was a musical, but you had these practical sets being built, and it took you to another world without this weird greenish hue of special effects clouding everything. It didn't feel like a Marvel movie. It felt like these were things that were rooted in real tangible things, and I loved it. Any other Wicked Virgins around here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
That was a terrible Boston.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Rose just unplugged something that does not belong to her at Flanagan's. Oh, Jesus.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
She's got it, man. She really does. We were trying to force it, and we probably fell on the wrong side of it, and then she's just organically making magic on her own.

Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
Well, if you care about the program, Miami had to do something about the quarterback position, which is why you take the bet on Carson Beck, even though he's coming post-surgery, because you have a recruiting base head coach that just had a Heisman Trophy finalist and what in all likelihood is going to be the number one overall draft pick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
go out there, and even though everybody wanted to kill Cam Ward for not playing that entire bowl game, it allowed you to see what Miami's plan was after Cam Ward, and they had to do something.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
This is where it's also good, and I'm sorry about that, Dan, but Cam Ward was at best a fifth-round draft pick, fourth-round draft pick before he came to Miami, entered the portal, and he took his game next level. Carson Beck kind of slid last year, has an arm injury, comes over here. So now say Carson Beck has a great year, fortifies himself in that first round again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
If I'm entering the portal next year and I'm looking at destinations, understanding what Miami's plan is in that quarterback room and understanding what I want my career to turn into, then Miami, as a program that's talked about paying top dollar for quarterbacks, and now as a proof-of-concept program that has done that with Cam Ward and Carson Beck, that's what we're talking about here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
It's a weird thing that is done with Carson Beck, and I understand the arm injury. It's a big thing. But that's the conversation. People, including Ryan Clark, and I think to a degree Jess, have convinced themselves that Carson Beck isn't good. Carson Beck entered last season as not... Consensus was hard to find, but on many mock drafts, he was picked to go number one overall.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
first Mario was the one who was like we would never let this happen at Miami like he stood and pounded his chest about like this would never happen he did do that so that was I assume that's why Ryan Clark brought up Mario it wasn't like out of the blue no he no he said he went on to say Mario Cristobal's to blame for this because he paid Carson Beck four million dollars who's not the best quarterback which is okay last part subjective and I don't disagree the
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
I disagree with the $4 million. I'm making this a Miami story. Look, the market's the market, and the market ain't the market because Carson Beck, who was one of the last quarterbacks to sign, decided to go to Miami. This Nico thing is pretty unprecedented.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
And yesterday, I called out Mario Cristobal because, yeah, that may be the message today, but when Tyler Van Dyke was threatening to do the same thing a couple of years ago, we had to mobilize and get Tyler Van Dyke signed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
And Ryan Clark said something to the effect on television today when talking about Nico. Mario Cristobal is partly at fault because he gave, quote, $4 million to Carson Beck, and he's not the best quarterback in the country. Number one, Ryan Clark, you don't know the number. You're off base.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
W-2 Richardson because a 2 is also a poo. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
You don't get the game. No, there I go, but you should have went there. Give me your W-poo. And also, you went Todd Lightoff. There's plenty of people with a last name right. Well, feel free to make your own list.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
That he would never, ever make. It was a challenge for me to write my own list from a man who didn't even write his own. I wrote this one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
Number two, if you're directly comparing Carson Beck to Nico, Carson Beck is quite almost literally twice the quarterback statistically than Nico. Nico was tied for 36th in the nation in QBR last season. Carson Beck was eight. Carson Beck won the SEC as QB1. He's an accomplished quarterback that's made a lot of money for himself inside that conference and now over at Miami.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
You don't need to invoke Mario Cristobal, especially when you're out of your depth.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
I mean, shut Ryan Clark up. Let me explain why I won't tell you the number. Because it doesn't hurt Miami for Ryan Clark to go on television and just say things like Miami paid Carson Beck $4 million. That doesn't hurt Miami at all. You know why?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
Number four. JJ Credit. Number two, that's good. Number three, 1090 Nile digs. Number two, payroll-y Massimino. That's good. That one is good. And number one, tip of the hat to Chris Cody over there, Tarif Abdul-Rahim.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
Because just like the previous season, the quarterbacks that enter that portal are going to talk to Miami because the national perception is Miami pays the quarterbacks. And if you're in the game of trying to acquire talent, you don't mind that perception out there because it gets you in the room where things happen with these quarterbacks. So why would I reveal the number?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
Understood. Betrayed by his wide receiver core, just like you wanted to provide that context for Nico. A lot of drops.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
He's just flatly much better in terms of his resume than Nico's. You don't have to invoke Carson Beck when talking about Nico. They're totally different things. Going to shallower water.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
And tell someone they're out of their depth. College football media in general, people just speak on facts on NIL deals when the whole thing about NIL and the thing that people often lament is, we haven't seen the deals. We haven't seen the deals.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
So do I. I think it does give him the right. You can stand with Ryan Clark on the wrong side of the number and on the wrong side of the stats. And also you can stand over there on minding your goddamn business because Carson Beck has nothing to do with Nico. Ryan Clark isn't standing right now because he's out of his depth.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
It's just stupid. People hear the joke, okay?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. I'm not allowed. When's the last time I spoke about Miami? Jim Laranega talk three, as you guys let him in the studio. You let him in this studio tell all his lies. Like, okay, cool. I'll just shut up. I talk for five seconds. Give you the goods, too. Because that segment right there, shit was electric.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
He's wrong. He's trying to swim. You're just flatly wrong. He's flatly wrong on a bunch of fronts, and he's out there speaking on facts like he's got the information. Just because you saw an IG tile doesn't mean you got the number, pal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
Now a pal. Oh, my God, Jeremy. I want to wring your neck. God damn it. You're telling me I was wrong? Please, please. Of all the people that tell me I was wrong about something.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
Just a warning shot to the group.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
Precisely. And what he was leveraging, just like Cam Ward the last time, there was an inaccurate report last week that said Miami and Ohio State were in a bidding war for Cam Ward. I will say that if you want to say that Miami and Ohio State were going back and forth for a quarterback last year, it wasn't Cam Ward. It was Will Howard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
Ohio State didn't really actually get into the Cam Ward sweepstakes. He was right there for them. Can you imagine? They won the national title with Will Howard. But they kind of decided they weren't going to negotiate with the Cam Ward thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
Miami, the last two cycles, has come away with what was proven to be the number one transfer portal quarterback last year, who was just leveraging the NFL draft. This year, a similar situation. Consensus number one target out there. Me personally, I like John Mateer a lot. I think Oklahoma got a great quarterback over there. I'm not going to tell you that. I don't have my questions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
In fact, I was probably one of the people that were a little bit more nervous about Carson Beck.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
because he turns the ball over because he's got that arm injury i know brock purdy was a favorite to win the nfl mvp like eight months after he had the very same surgery but it's not it's it's not a perfect candidate i was more excited about cam ward but to see people talk about the nil market as if they know a goddamn thing about it and invoke miami's name in tennessee's business is just bullshit it's just bullshit like okay you saw a tweet and you think you know the number
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
No one knows the number, that's why this is all crazy. No one knows the number. And by the way, the people that you talk to that are supposedly in the transfer portal, that are offering their services up, 99% of the people making the rounds, leveraging their own place in the market, they're not in the portal. They're not in this open market space where you should actually talk.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
If you want to talk about what you should actually do to stop this nonsense, it's that kind of stuff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
If his son was a QB1 talking to Miami, I'd say you have the bona fides. Or if he even got the number right, I'd say you're on the money there. But he didn't. Then tell us the number! He's well off. Three and a half? He's well off. So is Carson Beck. Yes, Carson Beck is making great money for a young man on an NIL deal. Thank you, Jeremy. That stands a writer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
That's a huge part of it. So, like, I can only get so mad because... The car dealerships. Yeah, because Ryan Clark is perpetuating something that doesn't work against Miami. It's good to have people talk about Miami. It's good for people not to know the number. We're all playing poker here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
The argument for signing Carson Beck, it made all the sense in the world when it happened. Jessica, why are you down on him? On Carson Beck?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
Yeah, if he remained healthy and that. It was a down year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
It is wrong if you don't know the number or if you can't cite where you got the number.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
It's all fake money anyways. It's all click-baity too, because invoking Miami and Mario Crisobal is better than, why don't you blame Manny Diaz for setting the market with Mensa over there? That's not sexy. One has nothing to do with the other. This is a problem. Tennessee got themselves in a problem. It was a real pickle that they had to solve, and this is not a good look for anybody involved.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You're Out of Your Depth
It also has nothing to do with any of the other programs, how Nico and his team decide to go about their business.

It was like a year of me mocking you. I had to move because it wasn't working. Is it better now that you're in New York? Oh, yeah. No one talks about Miami at all. I'm going to take some notes. I'm taking notes back here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
No, yeah, it's cool to see the way this event has kind of progressed through the years. And I think specifically what I love the most is like, objectively, I'm just going to say it, drafts are like maybe not the most interesting thing in the world. You're just like saying a name.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
But to see the way that like the WNBA does such a good job of like combining the culture and the fashion and really just making this a celebration of the sport is super fun. And my personal favorite thing was to see the fashion of the night because like just, you know, 10, 15 years ago, the dress code was business casual.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
So everyone looks like they were taking a LinkedIn headshot when they were getting drafted. And now it's some of the most beautiful fashion you've ever seen. Like Kiki looks like a goddess. She was ethereal walking through the place and,

paged an outfit change halfway through looked phenomenal georgia amore was styled by russell westbrook like the whole thing was just so phenomenal to see and it is such a benchmark of just how far this league and this event has come well can we talk about that part though because the nba got popular at least in here somewhere they were good the nba was at creating image like
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
Well, one through four was expected. That played out pretty much exactly how everything was sort of like mocked out to be. Things get kind of weird with the Valkyries pick with the girl, I think, I can't remember exactly, from Lithuania. Tahina Pow Pow dropped, Cheyenne Sellers dropped. Like you were seeing people really move in directions that I wasn't expecting. it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
I want to highlight that I think the Mystics had a great draft. I was really, really impressed with what the Mystics did. Obviously, you have, what, four, five, six, so you're in a pretty good spot with Sonia Citron, Kiki, Georgia Amor was just a collective real bunch of that... franchise really needs a spark of life. And I think they got it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
And I think something that actually goes back to your point earlier, just about kind of the culture and what makes it so cool is it's interesting to see the way that TikTok is really factored into this, because this morning I was scrolling and like so much of my feed was
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
direct player to media content of getting ready for the draft here's how I put my outfit together here's what the experience is like and I think that's really opened up the doors for the culture to become just like such a phenomenon within the WNBA and it was really cool to see how everything came together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
Well, bad dudes, they wouldn't let us into the actual draft. So we watched the whole thing on a TV in the past.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
That's not ethical journalism. But it wasn't our fault.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
It wasn't incompetence. No, it wasn't our fault. We didn't do it wrong. We just didn't get the credential access. There were a lot of people.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
Yeah, I didn't get the cut this year. And last year, I don't even think I really got the cut. Like last year was just a little more lax. But what I remember from last year was like the energy is like a little lower. It's not like the NFL draft where the NFL draft is so fan focused and it's so heavy on drinking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
Like it's a it's kind of a big party where this is definitely way more of a formal event. The energy you really get is when teammates get drafted. And so when everyone brings in their teammates and you're just like rooting on for your friends, like that's awesome. Like Caitlin Chen was sort of the moment of the night of just like excited.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
The vibes are so high, but it's yeah, it's you know, like objectively drafts are like just kind of weird. You know, there's like calling names. It's a weird process, but everybody looked fabulous. It looks fun from the outside. Love to be in one day. Love to see it in person.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
I have no clue where he ends up. It's such a weird sort of situation where there are limits to where he ends up because it's the spring portal where he now has no access to transfer to the SEC. You can, but you'll sit out a year. And with the amount of money he's asking for, he wants $4 million. He was making $2.4 million per year. Tennessee. I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
And I don't know what schools financial situations are. Some of this stuff is kind of private. I don't know who's going to be able to pay that. Having a lot of these rosters have already been kind of set. A lot of these things have already been sort of figured out for schools. They've already made that investment in a quarterback. And my thing with Nico is he's not worth $4 million, in my opinion.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
I want everyone to get paid. I want players to make money. But that's kind of the crazy ass from Nico when he was 10th SEC in passing yards this year. This was a Tennessee offense that was not fun to watch. It was just the whole thing was just kind of a crazy like the vibe I got was like some someone's getting bad advice here. And it's it's weird to see.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
And like it's very much like what's happening to my sport, even though this stuff has always been happening. I have no idea where he ends up. It's it's such a crazy situation. And I've heard that like when he was testing the markets, obviously his agent is reaching out to different places that. players were able to use that to get more money and to solidify their spot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
So he's not even getting these opportunities. It's just crazy. It's nuts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
I think a lot of this is the fact that, like, one, I don't know how much Tennessee has to offer and to pay. And $4 million is a hefty ask. And I think it's important that they went to the playoff. He led them to the playoff. But if you watched Tennessee football last year, their offense wasn't changing the world. It was their defense that got them to where they were.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
Especially when you think about the offense that Tennessee had just a few years ago with Hendon Hooker and Jalen Hyatt. It is a completely different.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
different program now and that's not Josh Heupel's sort of bag is this not great offense and a really solid defense it's he just like for four million dollars when you're already making 2.4 million dollars and you had a season that was fine and Tennessee fans weren't over the moon There was a point in the season where Tennessee fans were like, Benchum, we're done with Nico.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
To ask for $4 million, I think, is kind of crazy. And he's also in college. I'm assuming, my big thing is I'm guessing people have told him he's worth more for these teams and these markets. And I hope it works out for him. I really do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Mike Ryan's No Comment (feat. Lucy Rohden)
It's fine. This is just really important for me to say. It's really, really important. If you want to go see Nico and his new team, wherever that's going to be, you can book the trip with Priceline. Are you dreaming about that trip? Book it and go to your happy price with Priceline. We don't know where it's going to be. Thank God the deals are so good, so it'll be cheap no matter what.

This whole space thing, it's not just Katy Perry. Okay, this started years ago. Maybe the first time they did it, I was like, that seems like a waste of money. Then the second time they did it, I was like, okay, what's the point of this? Now they're doing it, and they're like, it's an all-female space crew. Oh, my God. Feminism, yes. Yes. I don't care. Who cares? Like what? What a turd.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Chapel Bill
Honestly, this just landed on my timeline like a turd yesterday. And I just don't care. I'm like, you were in space for 11 minutes. You get off the flight. You kiss the ground. Really? Like William Shatner went up into space however many years ago on one of these flights and said that it made him very sad. It was a very sad and lonely and like just a profound moment for him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Chapel Bill
And he was like, I don't know why I did that. Basically, I'll read the quote.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Chapel Bill
She was a superstar in the 2000s, early 2010s. I loved Katy Perry. The biggest of superstars. This isn't about her music sucks, which her new album wasn't very good. This isn't about her public persona. This isn't about any of the things that may annoy you about Katy Perry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Chapel Bill
This is the fact that they just spent millions of dollars for an 11-minute space trip, and they were like, ooh, look, but it's all women.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Chapel Bill
Yeah, I mean, I'll give you a little bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Chapel Bill
I have nothing, Dan, to say about the ethical implications of this, the moral implications of this, any of the things that are happening with Amazon. Put all of that aside, just the mere substance of people going to outer space, but it's not really outer space, but technically it is outer space, and this whole publicity stunt aspect of it. Who is it for? Does anyone care?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Chapel Bill
This is a great bit to find out how the higher you go, do you cry at worst movies? Like if I can get up to 10 miles above sea level, am I crying at the end of 80 for Brady? Yeah. Because at 30,000 feet, little women bawling my eyes out. I mean, oh my God, what a devastating, devastating film.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Chapel Bill
They're like, yeah, we're, you know, the government's going to defund NASA. All of our science and medical research, we don't care about that. But like, look, we're going to space with Katy Perry. Look over here. Katy Perry's going to space.

Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Well, you omitted a pretty big one. Okay, well, I want to get to... Because I understand what I do within the scope of the University of Miami, but I'm also a booster. But, you know, in Miami, that was some good old school journalism.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Es validiert Ballsy-Movements, die die Leute zu beantworten hatten, glaube ich. Besonders, wenn es um die mentale Fortität ging. Aber es gibt eine andere Seite des Kreuzes. Die Leute haben die mentale Fortität von Boston, den ganzen Rund, beantwortet. und glaubten, sie hätten Glück gehabt mit den Schmerzen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Und jetzt sind sie gegen ein Team, das individuelle Superstar ist und die Leute ihre Schwierigkeiten beantworten. Und Boston fällt davon aus? Das macht mir das Wettbewerb wirklich lustig. Das ist, weshalb du ein großer Knicks-Fan bist. Für die nächsten paar Tage. Genau. Ich würde die Pacers wechseln. Ich nenne sie die Sirs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
I think I have more reason, certainly in my adult life, to hate the Indiana Pacers than I do the New York Knicks. Why?

I do like Halliburton and I do like Singsters.

Es gibt keine Hypocrisie, Leute. Es gibt keine Hypocrisie. All I asked was for good, compelling basketball. I got that last night. And I told you I'd be the first in line to say it. We had great, compelling basketball in January.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
I'm glad you guys toughed it out through such bad basketball. I've also toughed it out through bad basketball on mute. And last night, guess what, got the big TV treatment with the sound.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Really? NBA Basketball got the big time treatment with the big time TV because that's theater, that's drama, that's what I miss about the NBA.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
It was. That's been a bad series. But, you know, my complaints aren't like I'm done with this sport. My complaints are fix it. Julius Randall.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Got Draymond there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Aber auf der offiziellen Seite ist Julius Randle unglaublich.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
I can't wait for that day. That's great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
This whole show is about a gotcha thing. I'll just lean into it. You got it wrong on Julius Randle last night. Just say you're wrong. Just say you're wrong. Was Julius Randle good last night? I wasn't watching.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Confusing player. Confusing about Rudy Gobert, too. If they make it to the NBA Finals, I'm gonna maybe need to do some apologizing. 24-11-7, the game prior. You have called him trash. Yeah, he's a trash can. He's not a good player. He's a bad player. Numbers don't lie, buddy. Sometimes they do. Especially when it comes to Julius Randle.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
The numbers are telling all sorts of truth there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Welcome. Oh man, that's good stuff. I should have stayed awake for that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Ich denke eigentlich, dass Nathan für dich ein besserer von den beiden Konzepten ist. Aber es ist so ambitant und es ist so ein Verlust von einem Budget, den sie gegeben haben.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Ja, aber er ist nicht seltsam. Und was er versucht hat zu erreichen, könnte eigentlich Leben retten. Das könnte der Pott am Ende dieses bestimmten Raimunds sein. Aber alles ist absurd. Er ist so klug wie jeder. Und hat es schon. Ein Jahr später, zurück zu den Nathen4u-Tagen, hat dieser Typ einen anderen intellektuellen, komischen Plan als jeder.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
HBO hat ihm einen blanken Eindruck gegeben, um zu folgen, was er will, und zu erzählen, wie ambitioniert er sein kann. Und wie gesagt, wenn ihr Episode 3 gesehen habt, findet jemanden, der nichts über das Konzept weiß, und versucht, das Episode zu erklären. Du hast es gerade gesagt. Du hast mir gesagt, dass sie Air von einer Stadt bekommen haben und es in einen Hundschaum geblüht haben.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Das ist so, dass es ehrlich gesagt nicht die Top 50 und verrückte Dinge aus diesem Video schlägt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Ist es eine leibere Ruhe, wenn wir Leben retten? Wird sie geholfen? Das ist eine Beitrag, die sie macht, um Leben zu retten.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Für mich ist das kein Hügel.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Ich habe das gleiche Gegenteil gesagt. Ja, er hatte einen viel detaillierteren Bericht.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Wir haben uns nicht einmal darauf eingeladen, Sully Sullenburgers Leben von Schott für Schott zu erstellen. Ja, das war etwas. V.a.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Und ich habe keine Ahnung, wie furchtbar Sie denken, dass Sully Sullenberger war. Wir bekommen das Akt der Furcht nicht ohne Evidenz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Nein, nein, nein. Ich glaube an sie. Du invokierst Namen wie Siakam und OG Ananobi. Jeder will, wenn du das von der Heat-Fan-Perspektive anschaust. Es ist ein neues Spiel. Ich bin ein Knicks-Fan. Das ist einer der Teams, der diese Jungs bekommen hat, die einen Einfluss machen können. Bridges, OG, Ananobi. Jeder ist so... Jeder romantisiert die Wale.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Sie wiften auf Lillard, sie missen auf Harden, sie missen auf Durant mehrere Male, sie missen auf all diese Jungs. Sie missen auch auf Siakam. Sie missen auch auf OG. Wie weißt du, dass The Heat nicht versucht hat, für diese Jungs zu handeln? No, I know that they tried to trade for those guys. I'm reporting. I know they tried to. And I know they failed. They failed in trying to get those guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
That is my lament. Not only are you failing for the top guy, Du entscheidest auch nicht, dass wir diese Teile nicht teilen werden, weil wir nicht denken, dass OG und Siakam uns wo wir wollen. Und dann sehe ich, dass Siakam und OG Teile nehmen, wo sie wollen. Wir verlieren Teile. Die Leute wollen einfach nur Top-Line-Talente. Nein, nein, nein.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Die Verletzungen und Verletzungen in dieser Organisation sind eigentlich ziemlich die Knie. Wir haben ziemlich die Knie geworfen, wenn es um ihre Verletzungen geht.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Well, that math is about to change. Didn't you say, what have you done for me lately? To Greg! We're talking about journalism! Journalism! Well, ask the NBA and those two teams in particular next week, when they're in the Eastern Conference Finals, what have you done for me lately? Because all you've done for me lately is get me to the play-in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
You see him face down on the thing though. That was the one place that flatly could not get the number one. I was good with San Antonio and Dallas if the alternative was Philly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Richtig, aber es ist immer noch ein Bericht, der Kreden hat, wenn es kommt von, ich meine, ich assume nicht, woher dieser Bericht kommt, aber Zaz gab einen echten Bericht. Er sagte, Yannis' Reps haben die Miami Heat genannt. Yeah, again, like... An express interest. That's actually a big time scoop.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Ich meine, sie haben ihm Brunnenholzer und Doc Rivers mitgegeben, mit denen er arbeitet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Why are you saying that so definitively? Because last time they got into the pursuit of a superstar, it was like Tyler Hero, take it or leave it. And by the way, phew.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
This was one of the weaker episodes until that last point. That one is a great take. Certified banger. Okay. And it's a thing on the internet. People know about this. I take extra. Yes, it's great. It's better than actual silverware.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
We're just four guys with backgrounds in breaking big time stories. Just shooting the shit. That's what we're doing. I'm not going to be pitted against Greg or Zaz. That's a great report, Zaz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
No, no, no, wait a minute.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Yes, on Giannis. No, no, no. I also said Anthony Davis is interested in Miami.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Do I know what's true?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Wait, Greg, what are you doing? He's doing exactly what you want him to do, which is play your stupid little game. This is not a game to me. As a journalist, this is not a game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Well, should it though?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
It is on Peacock and it is on DKN. It is on the Levitard Show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Zaslow's reporting it. It's all politics. We all know what was happening there. Maybe it's different now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
He picked up a phone. There was a report yesterday that he was open-minded about everything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
His reps picked up a phone and said, hey Miami, you're one of the ones.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
They won that championship. Congrats to them. Credit where it's due.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
The Anthony Davis thing is problematic.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Well, because he's under contract with the Dallas Mavericks. So is Giannis! Yeah, but at least it's being reported about Giannis that he's available.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Okay, but we're learning about Anthony Davis' availability by him and his reps.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
If I were a Mavs fan, I'd be like, what are you doing? Is this what the franchise is blessing? You're doing what now? You're reaching out to other teams? You might have actually gotten your Miami Heat in trouble.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Well, I hope you're happy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Thank you very much for the kind words. You're also selling me short because I broke the biggest story of all time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
I'm sorry, I've got a smile from ear to ear right now. Because Udonis is weighing in on Jimmy Butler's effort last night.

You're supposed to be Knicks fans. You're supposed to take offense to this insulting thing he's saying about you for this series.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: All About The Bing, All About The Bong
Why is the NBA so bad at not looking rigged? That's true. I don't understand. For a league that's always accused of rigging the draft. It's the one league where everything is rigged. At every chance that they get to not look rigged, they somehow make themselves look more rigged. Do you think... Well, because you look back to the situation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: All About The Bing, All About The Bong
So Luka goes to the Lakers, a team that the league wants to be very relevant and win a championship, right? But it's not just that he went there. It's the way in which he went there where he was traded to the Lakers, but no one else knew he was available to even be traded for. And the compensation they got back for him was not great. So everyone was upset about that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: All About The Bing, All About The Bong
So then everyone is saying, well, Nico doesn't know what he's doing. And then all of a sudden, oh, here you go, Nico. Here's the best player available. And coincidentally, you're just going to be able to replenish your team after you sent a franchise that we want to be great, your best player. Here's another superstar just handed to you on a silver platter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: All About The Bing, All About The Bong
Adam Silver puts out word that they won.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: All About The Bing, All About The Bong
You know what? I learned the other day about Mega Millions. You know how much a Mega Millions ticket costs now? Is it like a dollar? No, it's $5. Really? They raised the price of Mega Millions from $2 a ticket to $5 a ticket.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: All About The Bing, All About The Bong
Well, so I went to the grocery store and I happened to have cash on me. I was getting some stuff and Mother's Day was the next day. I'm like, you know what would be a great Mother's Day present for my wife? $110 million. Like she would love that. So I'm going to go and I'm going to get her like $110 million. I mean, that's like two years that we don't have to do anything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: All About The Bing, All About The Bong
So I go and I say, you know what? I'm going to get her like a Mega Millions ticket. And I was like, I'd like, you know, five Mega Millions tickets. I go to give the lady $10. She's like, do you know it's $5 now? And I'm like, no. Are you winning more millions or the same amount of millions? Okay, so I thought she was lying to me. I was like, this doesn't make any sense. Why would they do that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: All About The Bing, All About The Bong
So I go and I look it up and she's like, yeah, it changed like a month ago. So I look it up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: All About The Bing, All About The Bong
No, I didn't believe her. I thought something was up here. I thought that maybe we were like taking the $2. I thought maybe that was going on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it seems crazy to me that you're going to charge people $5.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: All About The Bing, All About The Bong
No, because the thing is, $2, you could pay $5. I imagine the number of tickets being sold is a lot less. You have to think twice. And if you're in a state where you could play Powerball or Mega Millions and Powerball is $2, why would you pay $5 for Mega Millions?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: All About The Bing, All About The Bong
So I look it up, and Mega Millions, it's like a spokesperson said that now that it's more expensive, the pot will go up faster, and it increases your odds of winning. And I'm like... Unless, and I didn't buy the ticket, unless they reduce the number of numbers, it does not increase your chance of winning. You still have the exact same odds of winning. Right, right, right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: All About The Bing, All About The Bong
Less people playing doesn't increase your odds. Right, correct. So, like, Mega Millions, $5. Bad job by them. Tool of the week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: All About The Bing, All About The Bong
The fans vote on that, Zez. You know how it goes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: All About The Bing, All About The Bong
Well, so here's how it could work, because I've also thought about this, right? I think your chance of winning is like 1 in 700 and whatever million, right? So theoretically... You can go and you could buy every single number if the pot is high enough and guarantee that you will win the Powerball, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: All About The Bing, All About The Bong
So if the odds are like 1 in 600 million and the pot is at 1.8 billion, you could spend 1.2 billion and guarantee that you will win because you have every single number, right? But you have to do that, and then it's taxed, and then what happens if someone else has your number, and then you have to split the $1.8 billion, and now it's like $900 million.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: All About The Bing, All About The Bong
Me? Rise up on behalf of New York? You guys are kind of embarrassing yourselves, if I'm going to be honest with you. You guys are big Heat fans. Oh, the Heat, the Knicks. Only one Heat fan here, by the way. Knicks fans never think about the Heat, ever, just for the record. They do not think that it's a rivalry the way that you guys think that the Knicks thing is a rivalry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: All About The Bing, All About The Bong
And now all of a sudden you're here and you're number one Knicks fans. I don't understand you guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: All About The Bing, All About The Bong
That's what I'm saying. You guys want to be Knicks fans, but you just want to be Knicks fans for one more win. That's exactly right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

You showed me, Billy. Yes. Yes. I'm not trying to show you. I'm trying to understand you guys, and I simply don't.

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Howdy, folks. It's Mike Ryan. I want to responsibly speak to you about my favorite time, Miller time. Look, a lot of things are coming back in the season. MLS is back. P's and C's in the MLB. You know who puts the ML in those sports? Miller Lite. That's right. From basketball to hockey to game night, winter means more moments with the coolest people in your life.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
Make these moments even better with Miller Lite, the greatest tasting light beer for people like you and me who love their beer.

No games, no gimmicks, just great beer for people who love their beer because it's brewed for taste.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

It just hits different than other light beers because of simple ingredients like malted barley for rich, balanced toffee note flavors and that iconic golden color. Miller Lite.

Terry Rozier. Yeah. Hated him as a basketball player. Always did. The only reason why he's not number three on this list is because by getting Terry Rozier, we got rid of Kyle Lowry, who I hated. That's fanfare for the wheel. Number three. Number three. Number two, this is real talk. This is me being honest. Bradmore shunned. I did not like that one bit.

Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
Jimmy Butler. Not a Jimmy Butler guy. Thought he was inefficient. Didn't like what he was doing in the locker rooms. Didn't think it would work out. And he largely proved me wrong. He went to the NBA Finals, you know, twice as the best player on a Miami Heat team. So I got that one wrong. Number five, Romelu Lukaku. This guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes

Let's talk about something that makes watching college hoops even better. Evan Williams' Bourbon. It's game day's number one pour. The perfect addition from tip-off traditions to buzzer-beater celebrations. This award-winning Bourbon is extra aged for a taste that's smooth, rich and easy to enjoy. Whether neat, on the rocks or in a classic cocktail. Personally, I like to drink it on the rocks.

But does Mike Tomlin want to put up with the Aaron Rodgers circus? Because that does not seem like a fit to me at all. Wenn Russell Wilson bei einem guten Preis zurückkommen würde, wäre das eine bessere Wahl für die Stealers als Aaron Rodgers. Er hatte eine gute zweite Halbzeit, aber er ist immer noch unbekannt und er bringt so viel Wachstum. Warum würdest du das bringen, wenn du Mike Tomlin bist?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Jilted Lovers of Aaron Rodgers
Yeah, but Mike Tomlin kept that under wraps. But we know Aaron Rodgers is crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Jilted Lovers of Aaron Rodgers
I shouldn't say that, but we know Aaron Rodgers has a lot of outside interest. He will be bringing to the Steelers that doesn't seem like something Mike Tomlin would want to invite into the locker room.

Ja, niemand will mit den Giants spielen, bis sie keine Optionen haben und dann mit den Giants spielen. Es macht keinen Sinn.

The Big Suey: The Jilted Lovers of Aaron Rodgers
If you're Mike Tomlin, who has not had a losing season ever, who has kind of this, you know, mold that he likes for his team, why would you risk that for bringing in a 42-year-old quarterback for one season and throw everything off just out of desperation? Because maybe Aaron Rodgers can take us to the second round of the playoffs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Jilted Lovers of Aaron Rodgers
But also a coach killer, Aaron Rodgers, right? So like if you give in to the desperation, it better work or this might be the end for you, Mike Tomlin. Like signing him and having it blow up in your face could be the end of Mike Tomlin.

No doubt. And I get it. And I feel like we have this conversation every time an aging quarterback hits the market. We're watching two guys do it. And they just so happen to be the best ever.

No, no, let him toil away in Boston. Let him be someone else's problem.

So that provides a bit of a hurdle for Nosferatu.

Some of that stuff is inaccurate. In Rice's universe, Louis is impressed by the interviewer. What about crucifixes and all that stuff? And Louis reveals, I'm actually quite fond of them.

Hour 2: The Child Vampire
Now, in the AMC series, I really like how that one's played between Lestat and Louis, and they are fully embraced in their gay love story, which is one that the film kind of touched on because the times were different, but you get a truer sense of their relationship in the AMC series, which I highly recommend.

That Lestat knocks it out of the park, dare I say, even better than Tom Cruise's version.

Another thing that we have to ask ourselves is why in the older films does Dracula transform into your conventional bat, but in Bram Stoker's Dracula, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, he transforms himself into a six-foot bat. That's not very sneaky. No, it really isn't.

Can you look up what they were doing at the end of Braveheart? Oh. Well, because the camera pans down, but only so much. And I was young when I saw it. I'm like, are they doing something with his balls?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
I have an update on William Wallace's balls. They strongly imply that he was subject to the full execution. Now, a lot of this feels excessive because he does end up getting hanged at the end of all this. But they first start with quartering where the body was cut into pieces. Then they also do something called drawing, which is disembowelment and castration. So bang on on the balls.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
And then they hang him. I feel like we're beating a dead horse.

Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
So miscalculation on my part. I've recently lost some weight, so I haven't needed the nipple stickers as much, but I'm wearing a hockey jersey, and it is really chafing up my nipples right now. I've got these Swedish crowns on each one of them, and it's not a nice sight. But I will take another victory lap, though. I was told that I don't know ball because I said Anthony Davis is always injured.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
And everybody that has been watching the NBA since the Miami Heat acquired Terry Rozier told me he's actually pretty healthy. That's a bygone era. That's an old take. We were right. Anthony Davis, he can't stay healthy. They traded Luka Doncic because they were worried about his fitness. And traded for Anthony Davis in return.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
This is when the rumors were circulating that Terry Rozier was a possibility for the Miami Heat, something that sent a chill down my spine. But keep in mind, we had Kyle Lowry on our roster at that moment in time, too. So I was put in a very difficult position.

Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
I do not like Terry Rozier. If the trade is Kyle Lowry for Terry Rozier, what the Miami Heat are doing is moving my least favorite player of all time for my second least favorite player of all time. I am public in my desire to not. ever have Terry Rozier on this team. Thank you.

She's got Lewis right now. It's a bit of a hazard to try to pull off this bit because I'm like this close to stepping on his ear. But... Maybe I step on his back and actually help the process. But yeah, Terry Rozier stinks. But the thing is, he always has.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
And I had the foresight to just read box scores and tell you that he's a very inefficient player and the Miami Heat did not have this magic wand system.

I never thought it would be funny. And yet the person that is still resolute is the person that is the one that's sending people into this. But I can say wholeheartedly, this bit doesn't work out at all. And I'm taking a victory lap, a winded one, really winded, to really hammer home
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
The fact that I never thought this was going to be funny, and somehow I'm more right about this than I was on Terry Rose here. Oh, God.

Your season on the end of the season, and yeah, he closed stronger than he started. But overall, this was a very bad experiment. Wasn't worth the headlines. And also, they're probably going to lose what they invested in Devontae Adams now, too. All of it was bad.

All of it was super predictable. He's a different quarterback. And when all the pressure is off and his friend's over there and he just wants to spam him yards down the field, yeah, he'll chuck it down and show you that he can still throw it.

Seem to have checked in with the Miami Heat recently, especially after that athletic story.

And when we talked about the Miami Heat as

They did abandon the run early. They had that drive after it was 17-0 where everyone kind of knew, okay, including the Eagles, by the way, at that point, we're going to try to reestablish the run. And they get like four yards on their first two plays. And they're like, well, I guess that's that. And to me, that's not how you do that. That's not how you stay committed to the run.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Piano Man
Those weren't creative run plays. Everybody in the building knew that they were going to run there. I think you stick with the run beyond that. You go four down territory. You run on third down. You run something other than an HB dive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I mean, I saw them win a Super Bowl in which you could have made a sound argument that Damian Williams was the MVP of that game. And last year they had a lot more balance. Look, Pacheco is hurt. Kareem Hunt is older. Maybe they have to address that position. There are reasons why it wasn't as effective. Pacheco never looked the same. He is a punishing runner.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Piano Man
But last year, Pacheco getting the ball more and taking the ball out of Patrick Mahomes' hands, that wasn't a bad play. That was a very effective play. They could have used Pacheco from last year.

It's a huge disconnect between people that try to talk about this. And I understand fully the resentment of coaches that hear us say things like run a draw. And think that we're idiots. But honestly, we have no idea what those coaches are actually trying to achieve. We don't actually know. We can assume, yeah, pressure with four, collapsing the pocket, that'll wreck it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

But we don't actually know what they're doing in the secondary, how they're disguising coverages. We don't know if they're actually executing a game plan. We just have the results to work off of.

No doubt. To the Roseman point, Great offseason. Potentially one of the greatest ever. Amazing. Hired Fangio. We know Fangio wanted to go back to that area. But hired Kellen Moore, who had to rebuild his reputation, now maybe a head coach in the league, possibly New Orleans. Signed Saquon Barkley. Signed Zach Bond, who was amazing for them. C.J. Gardner-Johnson was also a sign.

Mekhi Becton was huge for them. Traded for John Dodson. Drafted Quentin Mitchell and Cooper DeGene. And honestly, we should look back at this Carson Wentz trade and supplant... The Herschel Walker trade. This is the greatest trade in NFL history because in the Carson Wentz trade, they got Devontae Smith, A.J. Brown, Jalen Carter, Cooper DeJean. These are all picks that turned into these players.

Local Hour: Greg Cote's Piano Man
Huh. This is all very ugly, and the athletic piece, which you could deduce because of the slant that the story took, came from Jimmy's camp, and it does paint the Miami Heat in a very negative light. From meeting with Pat Riley, trying to awkwardly bond over their fathers, to Mickey putting off a meeting. No, no, this is a priority, but I actually can't make this meeting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Piano Man
It's all bad, but I would say... Some of this stuff seems to me pretty disingenuous and pretty, it's bad ball. Because he's invoking, if you see the back of his jersey, he's really seizing on this relationship that he had with his father, a relationship that really bloomed more through sickness and adversity. And the Miami Heat were very supportive. I happen to know this for a fact.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Piano Man
Were very supportive. This is a happen-to-know report? I know this for a fact. Everybody in that organization was supportive. supremely supportive of Jimmy when his father was going through this. And to turn the temperature up and use that as if the Miami Heat were somehow awkward around that situation is, to me, a little bit of bad ball.

It seems like the opportunity to whiff on Kevin Durant will present itself once again. And I know we're on the heat aspect of it right now. But one thing that I can say with certainty is toxicity is subjective. I guess Kevin Durant famously just cares about ball, keeps his head down. Whatever the locker room situation is in Phoenix, he prefers that well over going back to Golden State.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Like, whatever you may think of that Phoenix locker room, he thinks going back into that Golden State locker room, which would be a cool story on the outside if you have no inside information. Go back to Golden State. Come back to a Heroes Welcome. Hell, you may actually be able to compete for a title with Steph again. He does not want to go back to Draymond Green in that situation.

acknowledge that that's the way to be i'm not even sure how well that flies amongst his contemporaries in that sport many of them wishing that they had those tools and if he had the will he obviously has an opportunity to be all-time great i mean he's already borderline he's already there like yes yeah i i heard those quotes i was like good for him he is not catching jokovic he's lying
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Have You Ever Seen Me Do a Puzzle?
You would. I wouldn't be so sure he's beating them. But I would say that he's about to head into his best surface. It's clay court season. So I imagine he's going to be doing some sort of winning here. But that is something that you kind of file away as he gets later in his career. Look, the longevity that the guys at the top end of that sport displayed. Were your career...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Have You Ever Seen Me Do a Puzzle?
Historically, it's usually over 10 years before they were still doing it. Djokovic is still out here showing up in finals, doing his things, beating Alcaraz in the Olympics. That is something that you file away and wonder if he has the same kind of motivation. He may be motivated by winning in individual sports, but it doesn't sound like he's motivated by being all-time great.

I mean, well, you cited Marty Fish, and that documentary on Netflix shows you exactly what it took. In terms of skill set, physical attributes, he didn't have what those guys in that era had. But he beat them individually, and he'll admit in that documentary... It made him lose his mind what he had to dial it up to to get to that point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Have You Ever Seen Me Do a Puzzle?
I'm sure the guys that he were going up against were probably a little bit more balanced, certainly by comparison, but the mental edge in that sport is one of the places that you do make up What we're talking about sometimes is razor thin margins.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Have You Ever Seen Me Do a Puzzle?
One of them seems decidedly less happy than the other two. And also just so happens to be the guy that's atop the heap in Djokovic. So I don't know exactly what to do with that. We don't really know these guys. I'm sure there are plenty of people that have lined up against Roger Federer that would tell me, are you kidding? He's a killer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Have You Ever Seen Me Do a Puzzle?
But Djokovic, from being Joe's sports fan, seems like he's the most obsessive of the bunch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Have You Ever Seen Me Do a Puzzle?
Well, by contrast. By contrast, we know who the most miserable of those three is just by how they carry themselves on the court, and that's Djokovic. I do know who's the most balanced, who appears to be the happiest, and that's always, no, it kind of feels like Nadal in terms of playing with joy, and Nadal is Alcaraz's mentor. They played doubles in the Olympics together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Have You Ever Seen Me Do a Puzzle?
If anyone knows what it's like to be in those shoes, it's Nadal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Have You Ever Seen Me Do a Puzzle?
Go down the list. Loads. I mean, not guys that were considered all-time great, maybe. Also, the sports science has changed a lot. I will say that as much as – and I'm an advocate for mental health and not being consumed by something. And I know by being –

Hour 2: Have You Ever Seen Me Do a Puzzle?
consumed by by work how unhealthy that made me and how unhappy that made me i also know what my output was at the time that i was losing my mind and i'd stack that output up against a lot of different people when alcaraz has a quote like that i wonder if well maybe he's not motivated by being all-time great i think he's motivated by winning these tournaments right now and maybe arguably being the best of his generation those are just not the conversations we were having a couple of months ago

Seems so easy for him. Seems present. He's pretty good at golf. Pretty damn good at golf, too. So I think he's working on that craft as well. There's a podcast called Nothing Major, and it's for tennis players that have never won a Grand Slam.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Have You Ever Seen Me Do a Puzzle?
And I would love to see if they chewed on this topic because there are guys that probably drove themselves crazy, especially in that sport, trying to get themselves to a couple of feet away from where Carlos Alcaraz is presently on the totem pole.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Have You Ever Seen Me Do a Puzzle?
And they probably hear quotes like that as guys that probably obsessed trying to beat guys like him, wondering, what are you doing with that kind of attitude? If I had your talent, I'd be shooting for the stars. And it doesn't sound like Carlos is.

I looked it up after. I wasn't even aware that it was in hockey vernacular. And then I also was like, what does this mean? Did he just invent a new insult? Because that's kind of cool. But apparently guys who aren't really worth much are called pigeons in hockey. And I guess it's common use for vernacular across all sports. Synonymous with a peasant.

He did follow up. He did follow up an Indian Wells final appearance, which he always performs well there, with a loss to a 34-year-old Dave Goffin in Miami in the round of 64. It was a perplexing loss. And those comments, I mean, Alcaraz has an opportunity to be all-time great, given his age, given the success that he's already had.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Have You Ever Seen Me Do a Puzzle?
And typically in that sport, guys that have that in front of them, They don't get quoted saying things like that. They often say the opposite. If Wawrinka wanted to say that when he was doing his best to get up to that upper echelon and guys like Roddick, Nadal, Djokovic, and Federer were holding him down, I guess I understand. I'm playing against three of the greatest of all time in my era.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Have You Ever Seen Me Do a Puzzle?
That's unfortunate. But Alcaraz, he's the best going right now in terms of tools, in terms of athleticism. It's either him or Monfils. He's fine with third. Wait until he gets down to like 12th or 13th.

He lifted up a Browns logo and a UM jersey. That's what he did for the audio audience.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
Dan probably does that like twice a year, where it's just a note for the room. Usually the room picks up on stuff. Dan had to be like, carousel, everyone!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
Maybe incentive, maybe end of the year bonuses for people that go an entire season without those type of penalties or something. I like this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
We will have 12 monthly winners. And guess what we put it into? A college football style stat playoff. That's a good idea.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
We'll include him on the front end.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
Dan versus, well, it was two Dans walk into a bar.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
Ticketweb.com for Dan versus Dan.

Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
It'll be me and Billy on God Bless Football. You expecting this trip? We will get you as a correspondent from the Australian Open.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
I want to apologize to the audience yesterday because they want their hours, and they want them every day, and they have made us a beast, Stugatz. Like, I am really proud and happy right now in a contract year that DraftKings has been the best sponsor we've ever had. We love DraftKings, got a great relationship with them, and also...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
You're going to pretend here that you don't love Matthew Kachuk more than you love anybody you've ever loved?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
Guys, when it comes to... Oh, my God. He had green text. When it comes to... More on that in a second. I've got a lot that I have to get to, okay? And I don't think there's going to be time in the last 15 minutes because Mike has what we believe to be giant news.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
But I can't get to it right now or against the spread because I have to know why it is that Billy tried to get a rental car today, chose the manager's surprise. Stu Gotts is sitting here saying you have to choose the manager's surprise. And I am led to believe that you regret that. Just from the look on your face and how you came in here today that you regret choosing the manager surprise.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
It's the content free agent spending spree time where everyone in streaming is trying to get into sports. It's just an aggressive business time. And so I have been wanting to feed the addiction to our audience. And they continue to allow us to make a great business out of what all of this is. And yesterday they expected four hours after two weeks off after football headed into the playoffs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
Put it on the poll at Levittar Show. It sounds like great fun to me. I'll go with the manager surprise. Put it on the poll at Levittar Show. Will you choose the manager surprise every time? Are you expecting the manager surprise at the rental car place to be the cheapest thing? Because I'm with Stugatz. Delight me. Surprise me with my purchase, but it sounds like a disaster.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
All right, listen to me. If we don't get to Mike's news, we're going to have a problem here because everybody needs the NFL news. Now, unfortunately, we're in a contract year and we've got a sponsored segment here. So to bring maximum attention to that, we've got to tell people that we're doing against the spread here. But Mike's news is big.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
He's got an I happen to know that's bigger than most I happen to knows. So give me our sponsored segment first, please.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
That's a nationally televised change. Use four words one time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
Thank you. I don't mind a lot of words if they're going to be informational, but him coming in. Start time. Time zone was important.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
Listen, listen, listen. I'm going to start doing employee reviews around here. He's a trigger. He's a good kid. Yes, he's a good kid. And an Emmy winner. And an Emmy winner.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
Okay, yes. Part of the cast. Yes, agreed. His name's on the trophy, though. Agreed. Agreed. He's a broadcasting prodigy. But let me play for you some witty sound, because the standard— Prodigy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
This dude was prodigious. Look, listen to me, Stugatz. Jeremy Taché has some of the best jobs locally in sports broadcasting, and he's a child, OK?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
Yes, he is. Yes, he is. But he likes to do a little tap dance before getting in and giving the information in that shmarmy broadcasting way that is the antithesis of everything we want to do around here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
That is correct. I've never won any of the broadcasting awards.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
And we can only give them three because the computers are melting. And it was very hot and the air conditioning wasn't working. And that's not winter problems that most media companies have. But they told me, don't do it in Miami, Dan. You're an idiot. Don't ever do it in Miami. You're a fool.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
Listen to me. When it comes to prodigious talent birthed by our show, Chris Whittingham came onto the scene here when he was about 15 or 16 years old. And so, Mike, I'm asking you genuinely how you feel about this call because Whitty is living his dreams as a young broadcaster. He's no Noah Eagle. Know that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
But in terms of what we've had in South Florida, there's never been a broadcasting sports prodigy like Chris Whittingham. So let me play for the people this call, which is Whittingham arriving at his dreams and getting to voice them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
He's no Noah Eagle. But he'll keep trying, and Jeremy will keep trying. And hopefully, Jeremy will be playing a xylophone while calling heat games in three years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
And so the equipment was melting yesterday, and we didn't get the fourth hour out, but we did get you some Ron McGill best of, and I just wanted to apologize to the audience for that. We will give you your full ration of addiction today. I didn't get to the Golden Globes yesterday. There were a thousand things I wanted to talk about that I never got the chance to talk about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
But he wants to be a... He wants to be a theater kid. You very much don't like him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
You'll feel better. He'll feel better. What do you mean?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
Prodigy. What I would like for Jeremy. Make it up for some stuff there. I mean, come on. is for Jeremy to realize in some instances that he doesn't know everything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
And because Dan does. Jeremy, that's what we're saying. I'm learning in real time. Jeremy, what we're saying is you don't get to be the guy who knows everything because I am.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
The gig is, you can't know everything if I knew.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
I'm passive aggressive that way. Been in all my relationships my entire life. You and Boston Connor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
Mike, what's the news? What's the news? Because you're locking this down. You're saying this is so because people are going to eat this up. They're going to eat this up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
I wish I lived in a DraftKings safe. No, this one. No, Messi is the biggest story he's ever broken. But this one in America, this one will create more stir.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
Apple, $95 million settlement, because, yeah, we've been eavesdropping on people. Yeah, yeah. It's just the most common thing. We all know this now and accept it. Apple pays $95 million in a lawsuit to just be like, yeah, we listen to you. But we don't want to offend Apple because they're good business partners. Got to be careful who we offend in this age of free agency and a contract year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
All knowledge and class is what he's saying of Louis Riddick. So what you're basically saying on top of who is going to be number one and number two, if Louis Riddick gets that job, Deion Sanders is going to feel like he's everyone's boss in both sports?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
That one's super interesting. Well, but I think the juiciest part of that, I don't know, you tell me if you think there's something juicier than this part of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
If Deion Sanders is wanting to run this sport the way that he ran that sport, Louis Riddick doesn't have any kind of pedigree that wouldn't make it so that Deion Sanders is now in business with Louis Riddick on protecting the career of his son. Because Deion Sanders is going to run this thing with Louis Riddick. And can Coach Coloradoize doing it or not? Because...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
Never mind the coaching parts of it. He's just getting into business with Louis Riddick at the top of pro football after, you know, doing everything he had to do to get there. That one's pretty, man, what's better than that one?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
You are a zoo supporter, and it is cheap.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
Billy, you're a man of the people, and I believe that your aggressive support of the zoo is something that is fun for the whole family. You are a McGill supporter, but what happened with you and him?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
And so Ron McGill is going to need our protection because I don't know how many of you remember the scene from a million years ago of Indiana Jones waving a torch at a bunch of snakes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
But whatever is coming for government funding is going to make it hard for you to afford things like that precious, precious zoo that he cares about more than anybody because he cares about the animals more than anybody. But what was the awkward moment you had with our hero, Ron McGill?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
Billy, you know this. You know this. Ron McGill's a giant star. Sabado Gigante is a show. Internationally, Ron McGill represents the fascination of how exotic Miami is to the world. He's a big star. And when people see him at the zoo, he's the biggest attraction.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
A calamitous zoo visit that should have been wonderful.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
Hey, we're going to stop for food. You guys go on ahead. Look, Billy, I'm promising you here. I want to go wherever it is that the end of this takes us, and I also want to make a stop at whatever it is that happened to you at the rental car center this morning.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
But I just want to tell you. You always go for the manager special.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
Everyone settle down, okay? Just for a second. We're talking rental cars. I will follow Billy wherever he wishes to go here, which is rare for me, okay? But Mike Ryan's going crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
Because for 10 minutes, he's had giant NFL news.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
No, Mike Ryan for 10 minutes has had giant NFL news. Well, let's do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
He's just teasing it. No, I want to hear the rest of what you have to say here. Please take us on this joyride.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
God bless football. So are the NFL playoffs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
All right. We'll find out together. We'll find out. Contract year. It's an amazing time to be a company in the contract year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
I might not see Emma. We'll see. A number of things that I need to get to. You guys can't let me get out of here without saying more on that Fox Sports lawsuit. You guys know that that is the click chum everyone loves. Everyone loves the garbage. Five days, huh? Watch me. I want to get to a witty call, and I want to get to Dylan Gabriel possibly being stoned, okay? Hmm.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Manager's Surprise
I want to get to Mike. Mike has breaking news. And against the spread. Mike's got an I happen to know.

In that room with your family. Some of them may have aided you in coupon and rebate scandals that you got away with somehow because of money. And your daughter's there. And don't forget, she's the reason why you acquired Deshaun Watson. It's entirely on her, not you. And your family's there. And that one unhoused gentleman that told you to draft Johnny Manziel. Do you enjoy this impression?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
I don't even think that's how Jimmy Haslam. I don't do a Tennessee accent.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
What do you think when you see that unhoused gentleman over there that told me to draft Johnny Manziel, Jon Hamm?

You don't hold it down.

Get his ass, Mina. Stugatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Hoyer should be on the sidelines. Is there one or two Yates? Every time they've ever played a wild card game, this is fact, every time it's been that window. The first game, now known as like the streaming exclusive usually, it is always the Houston Texans for whatever reason. If they're in the wild card, they're the first thing that you see. It is astonishing to me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Does Houston not have any national cachet? This is a pretty big market. Or are they just always that kind of team? Like they have the exciting quarterback, the appointment television type of quarterback, at least he was last year. Yeah, I don't think they've broken through yet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
They have a young, budding superstar at the position, a person that everybody crowned this most recent offseason. I understand why Yates' opening is curtain jerking. I understand why Hoyer is curtain jerking. It's just funny that the Houston Texans perpetually are always in this TV slot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
I don't know. It's got to be a wrap on him. It's got to be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
The injuries also. There was a brief dip in form. There were questions when he was hitting the mark.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
I never know who's going to be a future boss. Don't stop him. He's about to get to Laranega.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
He's going to love not playing for a year and getting paid in full.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
On all accounts, though, like, he went into that locker room and won them over. They were all backing him up. The thing about Baker Mayfield was they wanted an adult in the room. Baker wasn't fully baked as a leader there, no pun intended. And Deshaun Watson went... Out of his way, off-season trips. Everybody was backing him up to the bitter end. They were backing up the talent.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
You saw the reaction to the crowd booing him. Everybody in that locker room was pretty pissed off about it. He had won them over as a leader.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
They've got a room full of family. Yeah, they're going to go quarterback. They have a top two pick, so do they go quarterback? Because I'm seeing all these mock drafts, and for whatever reason, they don't have them going quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
You have to go quarterback just because of how your roster is constructed because no matter what happens with Deshaun Watson, unless there's some other liability, they have to pay that contract in full. So they need to go cheap at the position. The best way to go cheap at the position is hit on a draft pick. So they're either taking Shador Sanders or Cam Ward, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Perhaps from some portions of the fan base, but perhaps Miami Hurricanes fans that are in that fan base that took moral stance and consider themselves principled.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
I think Jerry Jones changed my life with that performance.

Hey, folks, it's Mike Ryan. It is Big Game Week. And I've got just the thing to make your big game time a Miller time. From fireside conversations to football Sundays, winter means more moments with the coolest people in your life. Make these moments even better with Miller Lite, the great tasting light beer for people who love beer. A new year is a perfect time for friends.

family and great tasting light beer. Tastes like Miller time. Miller Lite is brewed for taste. It hits different than other light beers and when you're hosting your ultimate game day party, why don't you bring out a beautiful silver platter of that amazing white can and know you will make everybody there happy because Miller Lite is the original light beer since 1975 and still the very best one.

I thought ESPN would have been on that. Somehow it got overlooked. The guy held us hostage and we were just like, you can have it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Is that true? Is there an imminent domain for web addresses?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Like if you were just sitting on COVIDrelief.com and then you saw the news stories on Wuhan and you're like, yes, yes, yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
You're doing nothing. You haven't tweeted anything. It's a slow burn. Oh, wait. Have you reported Bill Belichick's going to UNC yet? Do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Damn, I thought we got it away from you. I think we're good. Covered. In a second.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
You know, I'm excited to have Diana on because the Bill Belichick contract thing is interesting to me. There's like a weird June 1st. Actually, I should not be talking about this. I have someone that is well more informed. Happy New Year, buddy. Happy New Year to all. How's the Bill Belichick thing going?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
I appreciate all your hard work, Taylor. Thank you. I must admit, I thought the cachet of Bill Belichick, and year one is always hard, even for recruiting-based coaches, it is very difficult to have that kind of class.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
But I thought the cachet of Bill Belichick, the name in the portal, guys would just take visits out of curiosity, and it seems that it's going to take Bill a little bit to navigate these waters.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Diana, is there a possibility? Because I don't think a $10 million buyout, it going from $1 million to $10 million, is going to stop an NFL owner if they think Bill Belichick is the answer during this coaching cycle. It doesn't appear like he's in the mix for any of these jobs, but could it be?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Is there a scenario, if an NFL team shows legitimate interest and thinks Bill Belichick is the answer, say the Jacksonville Jaguars, who I know the cons like Bill Belichick, if they up and decide, you know what, UNC be damned, this is the right guy, we'll pay $10 million, that's nothing to us, do you think Bill Belichick would entertain that? Diana? Diana?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Did you hear what I said, though?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
If a team shows interest in Bill Belichick, would Bill Belichick actually entertain that? Because I don't see the $10 million buyout thing stopping an NFL owner.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Why do they like Trent Balke so much over there in Jacksonville? He seems to have a stranglehold on that position, and it's a little curious.

Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
Jay Crowder, as Jeremy pointed out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
But was that the intention or was that a byproduct of...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
failing to get somebody better than Jimmy because that was always hanging over this franchise as soon as they acquired Jimmy is he can't be your number one and then he he almost proved us wrong numerous times like he can be your number one just not on a title team but I think ever since his acquisition we were all saying they got to pair him with somebody that's a little bit more talented you can question Pat Riley in the heat about a number of things and how they've handled Jimmy Butler and surrounding him with the right amount of talent but
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
Are they very sophisticated? No, no, no. It's like password 123? Yeah, pretty much. 123.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
No doubt, the Kyle Lowry thing, I don't think we pay enough attention to that, even with time. That was just such a disastrous move for this franchise. I think it's fair if you want to armchair quarterback it and say they've actually been on the right side of not acquiring some of these talents. It actually ended up working out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
The Damian Lillard contract's not that attractive, even though I still think that it would have been a better fit here. I think people tend to look over their multiple pursuits of Kevin Durant. A new owner waltzes into the league and just alphas them, and they've always been trying to get him, and that would have been huge. Chris Paul, that one is kind of debatable, but...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
Kyrie Irving, in retrospect, we understand why everybody was standoffish, but they should have pursued him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
But I also think it's awfully convenient when people bring up Bradley Beal and they bring up, you know, Damian Lillard. They omit the other ones where like taking this chance might have worked out. They're putting all that other stuff to his side. And just for a guy who coined the phrase disease of me. He couldn't get this wrong with Jimmy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
Because Jimmy, at the very least, he helps you compete this year, and it's a contract that comes off the books. We understand he took his approach in the summer. It was dicey. Jimmy Butler and him started doing some posturing publicly, and it looked like they handled that. Then... All these trade rumors start up where Shams is totally right. You don't go up against Shams in these situations.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
And Jimmy Butler's representation and the Miami Heat got cocky, had bravado. I'm not really sure what Jimmy Butler's agent was doing. That seems a little nefarious in retrospect. But the guy that coined the phrase disease in me did something that you don't really see executives do all that much. Put out like an old school press release saying he's not going to move. And in retrospect...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
he really minimized the possible return for Jimmy Butler by doing that. Because you back a guy who knows how to get out of these situations into a corner, and now every team that's checking in on Jimmy Butler understands you are out of moves and is low-balling you. And that is a byproduct of your initial approach, which was a bit prideful.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
I feel like something's been going around for at least five years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

But there's a difference between... But then he gets suspended for seven games.

But we chalk that one up to just the acquisition of Terry Rose here, which is also a stain on Pat Riley's legacy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
Are you going at us for questioning whether Pat Riley has failed the town, failed the city, failed the franchise player? Is that what you're doing? Yes, I am. Is that what you are doing? Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
He deserves it. And he also deserves to leave this franchise however he wants it. I don't think it's hard to explain that every time you want to criticize something in the moment. We understand what he means to this franchise. We understand why we're here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
But in this specific moment, in a vacuum, he has really botched this Jimmy Butler situation in terms of maximizing a return to the point that Jeremy and I are workshopping, like, what's his move now? Just say, hey, we're going to shelve you for the rest of the year because just losing your contract off our books is more value than a quarter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
If you're running with it, that's a green light.

Just so you know, now it's deproved.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
And it's just not a sudden development. The writing was on the wall last offseason when we saw everybody in the East get better. And we were just hanging our hat on the development of this franchise. And maybe they have a puncher's chance. And then they manage Jimmy Butler's workload the entire season against their will because it runs counterculture to them. And he gets hurt against Philadelphia.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
And you realize, wow. wasted year wasted year for Pat Riley who's getting up there wasted year for Jimmy Butler and this entire thing is flawed you cannot go through another offseason the same way they did part of the reason that this has gone on so long is because of what Dan mentioned which is that Pat Riley in this franchise refused to ever be bad and
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
But even the play-in with the outliers, and I'm sorry, Dan, but even the outlier, like that incredible, majestic run, I thought the season was over against Chicago in the play-in. Like, it was that flimsy. Like, the entire thing is built on let's get in the play-in and hopefully we advance through that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
It's too late. We kind of need to get off the pot at this point, so it's going to be this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

What Dan said there, though, is kind of the problem. And it's the parts of the Heat media that I don't like and the Heat fandom that I don't like.

What recent history do you have of the disgruntled superstar putting Miami in his destination list, which is routine, Miami not winning that pursuit, either not having the type of trade capital that the other teams have, or in the event that a superstar says, I only want to go to Miami, they still found a way to fail. So why do you think it's going to be different with Anthony Edwards?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
And the only way it could possibly be different with Anthony Edwards in this pie-in-the-sky scenario is you still need capital. And Pat Riley just went out of his way to ruin that possible scenario in not maximizing the return by putting out that statement that put Jimmy in a corner.

then texting it in is much harder yes yes open my eyes a new phrase it should be scanning it in it is uh more expensive do any of you know what a stamp costs these days because uh sometimes by the book so i got individually i think it comes down to a couple like 60 something cents uh i don't know buying bulk whenever i need a stamp i go to my parents mom and dad need a stamp he's got your dad always

Never bought a stamp in my life. No idea. I can't imagine how toxic the chemicals are on those stamps. Stamps cost money? Prior to any kind of regulation, those stamps.

Yes, you're right. I mean, you are living a wealthy life if you can splurge on this. I Google it. I'm like, what is the wait? Sometimes I get the lesson taught to me. It gets sent back. And that's why mailing it in no longer applies because you've got to work to mail something in now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Jimmy Butler Saga Continues
Wait, has this cliche evolved with the times, and then we just forgot, this generation forgot to evolve it? Because mailing it in, and there's also phoning it in, and I assume phoning it in came after mailing it in. Why haven't we come to the table with texting it in?

There isn't a team in the NFL that would have released a Justin Tucker in his circumstances and made specific reference to the allegations. It's just not done. He hasn't been convicted of a crime.

Wade and Marino? Wade and Marino. That's a tier to itself. Bubble Jimmy, though. I would agree with that. What about Kachuk? Barkov would be... Kachuk's got to win a little bit more.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
And I guess Barkov... Well, we'll see. That story's yet unreal. Who would be the Marlin? Miguel Cabrera? Nobody. No Marlin. Nobody. No Marlin even made it to my OLI on coaches. You could make an argument for Jack McKeon, left him out of my OLI. When Paul Maurice, Ron Frazier, and Howard Schnellenberger are all eye on my coach, Mount Rushmore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
My Mount Rushmore for coaches is Jimmy Johnson.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
I mean, he does get some points for the Dolphins.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
But Miami was very proud of that Cowboys team because it also had Michael Irvin on it, so it kind of felt like a Miami team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
But he did his best work down here in this market, I think, with that Miami run. Number three is Eric Spolstra. Often forgotten because he's always compared to Riley. More successful head coach in terms of championships than Pat Riley. Best timeout caller in sports history. Kind of ruined that a little bit. Pat Riley's number two and then Shula number one. And that one's pretty easy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
But I think we can all agree, Marino and Wade, that's a tier to itself. You could make a social and global impact metric for Messi, but he hasn't been here long enough yet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
That is true. LAX. Who would be three and four on the player Mount Rushmore? We've established that. Mourning. No. No. No, I wouldn't put Mourning over LeBron. No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
Don't forget, he left this community. That is true.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
Is he on the Rushmore? Zonk can't be up there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
I'm trying to decide who would round out the Rushmore of local players. It would be weird if he was on the coach's one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
No, I think we closed it out with Manu. Really? Moreno, Wade, Barkov, Manu.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
The 06 finals, to answer your question, is Dwayne Wade's moment. Exactly, that's not this house. Even though it was rigged.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
And that was another moment in which you surprised.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
Yeah, there was two tickets allotted for the remainder of the crew.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
No, I would have. I would have been fine. I'm a VIP. But everybody else, no, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
Yeah, trust me. If we went with a crew of 17, there's no way they'd get in. They're not letting Ethan in. Ethan! There were six people in there!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
I am so clear on what this contest is. Yeah, you get the prompt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
Now the moments have to be in South Florida? Like the actual moment has to be in South Florida, Billy?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
All right, so billboards aren't on there, even though he did that for this market.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
I don't know if I can get four. I definitely have three. There's not four moments in Miami. Like four positive Dan Levitard moments that he's like, this is our guy. You guys are saying this was a positive moment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
I think this is like, What happened last night in terms of pro-South Florida Dan Levitard moments is a silver medalist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
30 seconds. That's what it said on the graphic.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
Preaching to the choir, pal. Third place is the Jim Mandich parade. That was a cool one. That was your bronze medalist. Silver was last night. And first place, the Speedo, where you surprised everybody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
Ooh, maybe the battery. The battery at the first taping down here. Yeah, that was good. Okay, that's a Rushmore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
I would go rant over that, the original rant. The rants were good. Dan met that moment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
Just rip the Band-Aid, yeah. Did you sign the drum, or did they say, don't sign the drum, just sign the wall inside?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I'm sure you recognize some of those cigs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

So when you're about to strike, are you reading that like, oh, man, Gretzky?

The Big Suey: Read The Room
Right now, I'm building top Dan moments that happened abroad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
No, that doesn't make it. That was a bad moment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
What's your fourth best moment that happened abroad? Because I got the top three right now. Gramercy Theater, you sold it out in 90 seconds. You delivered a good show with the help of Greg. Thank you. Second place is The Billboards. The Billboards in Akron, Ohio, which Greg was also a part of, supplementing every step of the way, it would seem. He's right there, right next to you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
And number one is Going to China with Michael Jordan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
Was that a good moment, though? Is that one of your top moments, or is that bottom?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
And part of his speech is he invoked, like, this is special because my career kind of died after I won the previous one. Why was that, Adrian? Did you wear a you're welcome at all? Maybe read the room. This is like when Ben Affleck came all the way back after Argo and decided, hey, superhero movies. That's my move.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
So the last two trips that you've taken to Africa, you've almost died.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
How did you make that sound? Folks, I'm not sure I'm ever going to put on these headsets again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
And no one thought about him as he had to stand there for six minutes watching Adrian Brody do whatever the hell that was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
That was great. It was fantastic. Adrian Brody should never work in this town again. Seriously.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
Thank you. Put in the work. What prompted the shave? The shave? Yeah. I wanted to see what my face would look like now that I'm thinner. Not a fan of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
It's cold in here, huh? That's the nipple stickers. No matter how much weight I lose, those are always going to be there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
I like the confidence, but now's not the time for Michael Strahan to be doing this. An American to just bully his way. No, no, I think I can play it. the UK's most iconic role. No, you can't. Yeah, but anybody can do a British accent. No, no, no. That would slap. I bet you Michael Strahan can't. Oh, come on. I would venture to say his is probably bad. His is probably bad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
The amount of confidence I'm down with from Michael Strahan, I actually can understand. how Michael Strahan can climb to the heights of professional football, conquer morning television, and then be the face of GMA, and then decide, yeah, I could be James Bond.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
It actually makes perfect sense why Michael Strahan would believe he could be James Bond, kind of like the way that Stephen A. Smith firmly believes he could be president. I get how your confidence gets to that place. That's not my issue. If you think you can be James Bond, we can disagree about that, but I'm down with your level of confidence. It's just not right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
America's name has been tainted throughout all of Europe. We cannot have Michael Strahan just barging in and volunteering that he could be James Bond right now, given our global standing. It's just too much. Now's not the time. Read the room.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
Oh yeah? Have you watched Dante's Peak? No. Well, I don't know what Pierce Brosnan was doing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
know it has nothing to do with a black james bond don't you put that on me dan i that is not what i'm doing look there was something anti michael strahan being james bond because the timing's not right idris go for it i think you'd be great the dissenting opinion that i heard from carl who is black said that i just don't see michael strahan sitting in a bar undercover in siberia
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
and I had never thought about it that way. Yeah, it's probably not the most undercover approach. Michael Strahan would stick out in Siberia. Excellent point. I'm just saying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
I didn't—no, but— Why didn't you read the room at all? You're just taking the variables and not any of the actual context.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
You will not turn me against anybody but Michael Strahan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
No, we actually had two completely separate points to make there. Yeah, I was very much pro-Black 007, where Carl came in and he's like, absolutely not.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
But he's got great ideas as to why. He's not just a racist. He's thought this racism through.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
Ringo Starr also can't be James Bond. I heard a little bit of Austin Powers, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
It kind of sounded a little like Eric Reid at the end, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
Okay, so we've decided that you and Michael Strahan can't be James Bond.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
Haven't they all been kind of old? Like, Daniel Craig's not some spring chicken. Yeah, they're all middle-aged. Yeah, that's what it's supposed to be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
Isn't Ralph 60? Yeah, I think so. He said that he wanted to get his body in the shape of a rope for that movie, The Return. He did Homer's Odyssey. He did a movie like that this year that came out to not as much fanfare as Conclave did. He got an incredible shape for that. His body does look like a rope. However, he's 60. Oh, he's very attractive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
When Carl was the racist the entire time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
I don't believe you. I think you're lying right now. And I think you're just trying to stir shit constantly. I understand, like I said, the confidence in why Michael Strahan thinks he can be James Bond, but can we start, it's like Stephen A wanting to be president. And coming out and saying he may have to be. The people want him to be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Read The Room
But he's also been quoted as saying he's got no interest in doing anything but that if he goes into politics. Would it kill you to start as comptroller?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Like get some level of experience. I know it's like super vogue to not be a politician. And we've seen two elections won by novice politicians, 45 and 47.

I did look at the heat schedule and saw that Hispanic Heritage Night is this week in the giving away bucket hats. Woo-hoo! The thought did go through my mind.

Do you know this one friend who just comes out of bed in the morning and then doesn't come out of his grin? Who is even in front of the first coffee, shamelessly well-groomed, and radiates the morning sun around the bed? Terrible. Disgusting. How can you just...

That's right. It's time for Against the Spread. And it's brought to you by our friends at DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear all about that DraftKings has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings, the crown is yours. You said it right. Yeah, I nailed it. Lucy, kick us off.

Even though they look wide awake right now, they need a wake-up call. You need to be humbled.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
You do. And the Bears botched it for them. That Bear game doesn't count as the loss that they needed because the Bears blew it. So they learned nothing from that game. It's a situation where you lose, you learn something. They won that game. They should have lost it. They learned nothing because of how idiotic the Bears were. So now they need another loss.

A round of ice cold Jagermeister shots. Damn, that's cold. Because apparently, we've all been drinking Jägermeister wrong. Well, how should we be drinking it? We should be drinking it ice cold.

Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
I tell you, we have the photo now. People are using this as some sort of indictment because of what's maybe popped up in his past. But this is fine. This is relaxing. This seems like a wonderful Saturday afternoon. Sure does. I hope it's afternoon.

Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
I just don't understand. It's just his move. He does that once a year. I mean, not that, though. And it's fine. It doesn't even matter now. He can lose once a year, and it's okay.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Well, no, but he quit the Jets and then he came crawling right back a year later.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
And we're back. Why is it batshit crazy? Syracuse got blown out by Ole Miss. I mean, South Carolina got blown out by Ole Miss. South Carolina has three losses. Syracuse, South Carolina lost to Alabama, who two weeks ago lost 24-3 to the worst Oklahoma team many of you have seen in your lifetimes. Mm-hmm. So that's not a good football team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
When they played the Steelers and Nick Chubb scored a touchdown, I was very happy for Nick Chubb. Nick Chubb's one of my favorite sports players.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
So I root for Nick Chubb. But no, the last two games that they've played, I've had fun watching it, but I don't feel any emotional attachment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
None of it's interesting to you? No, it's super interesting to me, and it's super fun to watch. That game last night was super fun. Man, the throw that Bo Nix had to Mims. He's good. I didn't...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
man i was not familiar with your game i did not think you had that in you that was an amazing game it was super fun but in terms of like getting emotionally invested if i were a browns fan you know this because i would wear those losses like i wore the syracuse loss yesterday i'd be devastated i don't have that with me right now mike i am curious though when the whole deshaun watson thing is in the past and he's no longer with cleveland does your emotion change
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
I don't know. He's been out plenty, right? But I guess he's still looming over the franchise. But I don't know if I'll ever feel about a pro sports team that way again. If anything, it showed me that maybe I had my identity tied up way too much.

Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
They have one more than the other teams, which counts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
Louisville, Gators. You seem to be really big on what's happened recently. So you just want to forget that Miami destroyed Florida by 40 points. And you said... DJ Lagway, as if he didn't play half the game. Let me tell you something. The gulf between those two teams, I'm going to get louder. The gulf between those two teams was not the quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
That was a blowout. That was not something that was won within the margins for Miami. Miami was a great deal better than Florida, who has beaten Ole Miss, who went to overtime and probably wins that game against Tennessee, who don't even get me started on them. If Lagway doesn't get hurt in that game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
My best win is probably over... Your best win is a 7-5 football team. Look, we want to talk about ranked wins all the time. I think the talent has been spread out. It's arbitrary. Miami has three wins inside the top 30, and that puts them among the best.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
So if you just extrapolate it out, or if we wait a couple hours for the CFP, we might see a scenario in which Duke, Louisville, and possibly Florida are all ranked. So... Miss me with that one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
Your argument for South Carolina is that they're good right now. So you're going to put South Carolina in over Alabama? Alabama beat them straight up and they have the same record.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
You can't put them in. Who are you putting in? Who are you putting in? Because it sounds like you're writing off of recent vibes, which is South Carolina.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
Head-to-head is important.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
You're correct.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
The recency bias. Okay, well then let's go off of recency bias. Miami then has two losses to Syracuse and Georgia Tech. I am so muddy right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
Excuse me. They have two losses in the recency bias. Georgia Tech and Syracuse. You want to look at what they've done recently? Beat Miami. Yeah, they beat Miami, who's a good team. Hung with Georgia, should have beat them, was up 14 at Georgia. You want to look at what those teams have done? I know what we need. Game time. And I plan on using this game time app. We've been trying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
Not floor hockey. Ice hockey, real good. Damn right. Wherever you are, if you're hanging with friends or at the bar, call the shots. Cheers with ice cold shots of Jagermeister.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
Lucy, you're the worst kind of hater because all you've got right now is Miami shouldn't be in. You're punting on putting a team in. You're hinting that it should be South Carolina. You're saying that what happens recently matters, but you're forgetting the fact that South Carolina lost straight up to Alabama, and that matters more than what's happened in the last three weeks. That's not true.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
Yes, it does. You can't put South Carolina in over Alabama because Alabama beat them and they have the same record. You keep them both out because they're both...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
I wonder why Lucy's only here once every two weeks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
I'm going to use the game time app to go to South Bend, Indiana, where the Miami Hurricanes are going to be opening up the college football playoff. We're going to see one of the best offenses in the nation against one of the best defenses in the nation. And we're going to set all sorts of rating records. And it's going to be much more watched than South Carolina and Notre Dame.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
Game time app, and guess what, new customers, you use promo code Dan, you get $20 off to see this wonderful game in South Bend, Indiana, which is definitely happening, and not rendering all this posturing by me, totally moot, after Clemson beats SMU and keeps all these teams out. You get panoramic seat views, which I'm going to need because I've never been there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
I heard it. I was kicking the table at the time. And
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
You can ask him if he would lose 24-3 to Oklahoma. Because he wouldn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
Stanford stinks. There's bad losses everywhere. You guys seem to forget the bad losses for the SEC teams or the fact that some SEC teams have more losses. It matters in a year like this. Stop applying your SEC logic from 10 years ago. You are parts of the problem.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
It shows me that the committee has been rational about what we've seen out of the SEC this year. Now, they've shown us time and time again that they're always going to rank the ACC higher than the AP and the coaches poll. Disregard those polls. They all exist for confirmation bias for preseason rankings, which are asinine. It's an asinine thing. So I would be hopeful.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
And all of this is going to feel really ridiculous if Clemson ends up winning a home game and keeps all three of those teams out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Why are the final rankings on Sunday going to take four hours?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

You have to milk it, Billy. It's way too much. Four hours in the middle of an NFL Sunday? I mean, Dolphins jets are going up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
It is, but it's also crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
Plenty of bad losses. There's only one team that essentially doesn't have a bad loss. I hear you. But that's a byproduct, as we covered and agreed on, the fact that these conferences, none of these teams played one another.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
That was kind of controlled Miami's fate for the past 15 years, though, right? Yeah. Nice hat, Lucy. Nice hat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
Listen, boys, we got to talk about Jägermeister, a go-to guy at home, at the bar, or maybe even out at the rink. A drink so ice cold, it deserves its own video tribute at every sports bar across North America. No trash talk, no running its mouth. We love the confidence on them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
Jägermeister sent us an ad to read on the show, but they're so confident they said, don't do any of that normal ad stuff. Tell the listeners two things. Jägermeister is great, but everyone's been drinking it wrong. Damn, that's cold. Well, how should we be drinking it? They're so glad you asked. Ice cold at zero degrees Fahrenheit, to be exact. Ice cold shots of Jägermeister. That's it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Closing Arguments
That's all they want to tell you. So wherever you are, if you're hanging out with friends or at the bar, call the shots. Cheers with ice cold shots of Jagermeister. Damn, that's cold.

Why are you all of a sudden confused as to where the lines are? The lines are clearly outlined in every other professional sport except for hockey where they allow them to fight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
I think to suggest anything otherwise is pretty much a bad faith gambit because we know what unsportsmanlike conduct is, generally speaking. Does it depend on which human is part of the officiating crew that day? Sometimes, but I think we know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
He was stunned in his defense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
But is it fair to posit that, okay, it's on the players to not be so hot-headed and be able to take that. It's on the coaches to wrangle them. But the inconsistency here for me is it's all on the program to police it themselves when you don't have... the governing authority doing anything about it. So I would suggest have that rule there, too. Are people going to break that rule? Probably.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
It is completely within the realm of possibility that one of these things is going to happen again while there are fans on the field. And you're going to also ask for innocent bystanders that are rushed in the field to also keep a level head. And there's going to be a really ugly situation that is going to mortify everybody. It's going to lead the Today Show and everything is going to be removed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
I love that college football and college athletics gets to do things differently, gets to occupy a space in sports, in global sports, that no one else does. And I think if you just take away the flag planting, the benefits outweigh the negatives because we get to keep all these wonderful traditions and avoid a really ugly scene where there's an overcorrection.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
Well, Dan, there's going to be helmet swingings, violence, possibly death. Okay, like you're going to have people swinging helmets, and you're going to have fans on the field.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
Possibly death. Let's say you have a flag planting and you have a Miles Garrett situation and you also have 17-year-old, well, 18-year-old college students rushing the field. That shit can get out of hand. Mob mentality. It's a bad situation and the seeds of it are, after we finish playing this fun little game, we're going to disrespect you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
And at the height of emotion and physically drained, you're... It's a human reaction. Not everybody's going to be aligned. There's about 80 guys on this roster. One of them is going to take offense to someone else intentionally disrespecting them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
But let me say, it's bullshit. to tell a player to not be offended when the seeds are universally, I'm here to disrespect you with this act. You can't expect an entire team and an entire fan base to not be feeling disrespect when that's the entire intention.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

at georgia i two days afterwards i said miami shouldn't be in in in the college football playoff i look back on videos from yesterday and i'm embarrassed i don't recognize that guy and all it took was seeing the sec hype machine and propaganda machine turning and people call miami a fraud randy scott getting in the mix saying put the town on alert miami is a fraud a fraud
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
Because they lost two games by a combined nine points, one to a ranked Syracuse team? No, a fraud goes to a six-win SEC school and gets blown out 24-3. A fraud also goes to a six-win Vanderbilt, a place where Nick Saban said it's a joke to play at. and loses as a massive favorite.

Bowl teams on the road. There's a very tiny print on that graphic. People also say, well, what would have happened to Miami if they played in the SEC or the Big Ten? We saw how Miami would play against a mid-table SEC team. They blew them the hell out. They beat Florida at Florida. They destroyed Florida to the point that people were turning the game off. They destroyed Florida.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
I think the only difference in Miami's season, if they play in the SEC, they maybe have a win or two more against an established brand that you think is bigger and better than maybe beating the likes of 9-1-Duke. or a very good Louisville team that had a ridiculous schedule this year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
The difference between Miami being in and being out in the eyes of many is the fact that they're not in those power conferences. They would be the exact same team. They have a top 25 offense. They have a top 25 defense, if you can believe it or not. All the other teams that are in that group are playoff teams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
Yes, I would. And you know how? Texas A&M was a game away from being in the SEC championship game. Georgia is in the SEC championship game, and they stole a game from Georgia Tech at home. They were down 14 with five minutes left. So it's that kind of attitude, and I understand it. It's just poison throughout the nation because everyone thinks that the SEC is something that it is not.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
I really am trying to convey to you as much as I can, yeah, Miami would probably be a 10-win team, which matters. You have them clumped in with these teams that have one more loss. I think in a year like this year, where there's about 30 good teams that can beat anybody because the talent has been spread out, wins and losses matter. So I think on the merit of their argument is Miami should be in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
Miami should absolutely be in. Now, they should be knocked out if Clemson wins that game, which is essentially a home game because Clemson doesn't deserve to be in the CFP, but if they win the conference championship, they get in, and Miami would be knocked out. But I think Miami... South Carolina, Alabama, disqualify Bama. Those losses are so bad. And USC, the Cox have one more loss.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
That matters. Miami never got blown out at home by Ole Miss.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
I will never get used to that. I wish we could play Alabama right now. And see who's better. Because avoid at Bama, Miami would beat Alabama.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
He was the talking cat in Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
You and I sound completely aligned. I don't think there is much a difference between the Big Ten and SEC and ACC. The head-to-head metrics actually bear this out. Miami's got a winning record against the Big Ten. They were right there in terms of record with the SEC. I mean, what more evidence do you need to have this year that the SEC isn't all that good with the – but it's parity.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
They're all beating each other up because it's so difficult. Louisville won by 40 at Kentucky. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
Yeah, but they also beat Ole Miss.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
Now I know. Wasn't he like a weekly guest in the early days of the show?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
Miami would beat these teams, like South Carolina.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
Like South Carolina and Alabama. You keep doing that, but it's perception.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
Well, listen, I'm glad you're fighting. So, I mean, that's a good start, but I disagree with you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
Okay, well, do you think Miami goes to Norman, Oklahoma and loses 24-3?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
He was on weekly. How do I know that's true? Yes, he was. That's not true.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
Right. Well, they only lost twice. The other teams lost three times. The other teams got blown out 24-3. South Carolina got blown out by Ole Miss, which lost to the crap Kentucky that we said before. Miami has shown you they're not... able to be blown out this season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
Weekly. No, that's not right. Dan, he was. He was. I'm telling you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
Always has been. Here's how you get in. Don't lose to Syracuse.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
That would have guaranteed it. But hold up. Teams can lose an extra game? Lucy's point is that they lost two of their last three. They lost two of their last three to good teams. Georgia Tech's a good football team. They were without their two top quarterbacks for like three weeks. I know. That's a good football team. Syracuse is ranked. It's not Oklahoma. It's not Vanderbilt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
It's not getting blown out. That is something that Miami has displayed time and time again is impossible to do thus far.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
But Mike, you cannot say that you are confident they would beat South Carolina and Alabama when you lost to Syracuse.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
Syracuse is just as freaking good as those teams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
They are not. South Carolina beat Old Dominion by four freaking points. What are you talking about?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
Because losses happen in September and they don't just get to be erased because they happen in the SEC. It doesn't just mean more because you won in November. It doesn't. A loss freaking matters. You know why they shouldn't be in the playoff over Miami? Because they lost one more fucking game. Miami.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
I still don't agree with that, that that's something that we did. Put it on the poll. Was Nick Bakai ever a regular guest on the Levitard Show?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

And when it comes back, overwhelmingly, yes. Dan's still not going to believe. It's not going to come back.

If Dan doesn't remember it, our listeners, the vast majority of our listeners joined us well after this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
I know, but they know, Mike. I'm telling you, it's going to come back a resounding yes. I mean, Nick Bakai was a staple on the show for a long time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
Billy, you're on the YouTube comments. Do we have any support for Nick McKay was a weekly guest on this show? He most certainly was a talking cat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
How can you be so wrong? Yeah. It's not going to come up in the computer because it predates the same thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
He was given picks a time or two. I would say that Nick Bacai is in the top ten guests that we've had on. Ridiculous. I'm telling you. I'm loving my ally right now. It's Kirchen.

I'm so happy that I had Bomani there because he's so much smarter than I am. And he has this brilliant way of putting it in real life terms. They lose a game. What is happening afterwards is not part of the game. Yes, you have to be a good loser during the game. You also have to be a good winner after the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
And very clearly, as 22 FBS teams got involved in altercations because of stuff like this, the players don't respond well to it. It will start fights. Remove the thing that starts the fights. Here's Bomani.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
I'll go into battle waving our flag. Greg Cody and Bomani Jones. It stands to reason, guys, I understand. Beat them in the game so you don't have to deal with that. Everybody knows the intention when someone tries to do that. It is a disrespectful act. You're trying to get one over on somebody else. These are prideful people.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
And to allow that, you're going to have your fans saying, don't allow that. You're going to have your entire locker room, the camaraderie of the locker room say, you can't allow that to happen. So just take it away. It's a dumb practice. It's a fairly recent thing. Yeah, you can pick historical outliers of this happened in 1972 or whatever. This is a recent trend and it needs to be nipped.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
Well, that's another thing that should probably be gone, too, because it's percolating and it's probably going to end up badly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
We're talking about planting a flag, okay? Bomani took it to an extreme place. No, you can't have my girlfriend. No, you can't spit in my face. But you know what? After I beat you on your field, I'm going to plant my flag right on your logo. Who cares?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Flag Planting Leads To Death
I mean, you keep saying who cares. The players obviously care. Everyone cares about it. And Dan said you can take it as disrespect. The intention is 100% to disrespect.

He's a free agent. As you guys know, he came to visit last Friday. We had a really productive day. He's been in this thing a long time. I've been in this thing a long time.

But I don't have any new updates in terms of where the process is.

I'm sorry, go ahead. I was going to say, I don't think you think there was drama in the NFC Championship game of the Super Bowl. As a commander. The second Saquon Barkley took that first run to the house, the Super Bowl was over in five minutes.

No doubt. There's a guy that was writing letters to Sidney Crosby when he was 8 years old. He's the best player from the best hockey nation.

He's really great. He's really great. And I know we do the McOverrated stuff. The guy is just... Er ist auf einem anderen Niveau als Barkov.

And I got to tell you, Peloton has helped me on my fitness journey. It got the ball rolling for me because I watched my wife on the Peloton. She takes all these great classes.

Hour 1: Atop Dan Le Batard's Ivory Tower
Hi, it's Mike from Baltimore. The worst part of the life is not always getting to share the things we enjoy with others. My wife and I, we love swinging. We'd like to share that with others, but when we asked the neighbors if they wanted to swing, they said no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Atop Dan Le Batard's Ivory Tower
When we asked the kids in the community if they wanted to swing, their parents said it was time for them to go eat dinner, even though it was only 3 p.m. So vote for me if you want me to show Dan how to swing.

Guys, I want to talk to you about something that I don't think we think about enough on a daily basis. And that's comfort, specifically when it comes to underwear. Because let's be real, when it's not right, you're going to feel it all day. And that's why I want to tell all of you about Tommy John.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan's Hippoflage (feat. Jason Benetti)
Because the first time I put on a pair, I knew my underwear drawer would just simply never be the same. Tommy John just recently sent some of their product to those of us in the shipping container, and this is my first time wearing Tommy John underwear. I was really blown away by the comfort, by the stretch that was available within the design, by the texture.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan's Hippoflage (feat. Jason Benetti)
There's a genuine comfort, and I can tell that they put in effort to make sure, specifically in our case with men, that we would feel comfortable. Honestly, Tommy John's changed the game for me. I know it's going to be a good day now when I walk out the door and I've got Tommy John on. No distractions, no adjusting, just all-day confidence.

Hey friends, it's JerBear here, and I'm here to tell you all about Boost Mobile, which is now a legit nationwide 5G network. So I must take a break from the jokes here for a second and put on my serious voice. Because I would never ever joke about a 5G network that has invested billions building 5G towers across the country. Not even once. Not even if Mr. Boost Mobile himself asked me to.

It's also because he has this godlike command already that it took Sandy a little while to learn how to pitch instead of just throw. And the command that Skeens has of every single pitch that he throws as a rookie... He was having performances that were like Roger Clemens-like.

I mean, the last guy that we saw come up and be that dominant immediately was Steven Strasburg, and he broke down quickly.

The Big Suey: Dan's Hippoflage (feat. Jason Benetti)
Obviously, we hope that's not the case with Skeens, but the way he's built, the way he throws, the ease in which he throws with his mechanics, the reason everybody's so excited is because the anticipation is this is one of those guys who's going to be this good for 10 to 15 years. Can I ask you guys a question, the baseball people?

Like if he had just not said the word championship, if he said, I got to get my body right and I want to close the season stronger, we would have been like, man, this is a little too late, but like, okay. Help my team try to make the playoffs, right? Not even that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

No, I mean – We thought they would be better than they were last year. A lot of people, myself included, have a great respect for Coach Atkinson. But even he didn't.

And you guys didn't pick up on why he brought it up. Because I was listening to the interview. He brought it up because Justin Tucker was like an endorser for this gas station chicken, I guess. But then he said how delicious it was. Yeah, but then he editorialized. Absolutely.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Yeah, because I had never known about this fight. Did you guys know that there was a fight in hockey that was worse than Malice at the Palace? Yes. Yeah. I had no idea. This was something that had just dawned on me in the hockey chat. Bob was choosing to put it in there. I had no idea. Really?

Yeah, you have the hockey stick, but you have lethal weapons not only in your gloves, but also on your feet. I would not want to fight a hockey player under any circumstances, even if they're wearing their full uniform and we're on dry land.

The Big Suey: I Got Engaged Here Five Years Ago
I imagine they're a lot better at it than I, but this presents its challenges. There's beer on the floor. Ideally, if I were to fight a hockey player that was in full uniform, I'd say sand. Let's fight in sand.

Martin McSorley was found guilty of assault with a deadly weapon on the ice. I'm old enough to remember that scandal in that sport.

Kevin Durant. is a champion, multiple champion, Olympic gold medalist, probably the greatest scorer I've ever seen, an unprecedented type of scorer with that body type given his range. And I look at his career and I say, what if? I say, what if? Because he's after Golden State. Look, he was the best player on those Golden State teams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: I Got Engaged Here Five Years Ago
and every decision that he has made since deciding that he was going to leave Golden State has not worked out, and it's not entirely his fault. It could be an inch on a shoe, or it could be partnering up with Kyrie Irving and that whole thing blowing up, the Nets plan. How many games did they play together, their big three? And then the decision to push his way out of there and land on Phoenix.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: I Got Engaged Here Five Years Ago
I know Miami was in that mix and ended up losing. But none of these things have worked out for Kevin Durant. He honestly, if he just stayed put, he'd be talked about on the same level as LeBron, I think.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: I Got Engaged Here Five Years Ago
I understand why you think it sounds like I'm criticizing him. I'm not. I'm really not. Kevin Durant has made it abundantly clear who he is and what he's motivated by. I'm just bummed that it hasn't worked out for him, that his decision-making has been bad or unfortunate. I mean, the Achilles injury, too, that's another unfortunate chapter. A lot of this stuff has been out of his control.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: I Got Engaged Here Five Years Ago
We talk about all these stops that he's had. He's been good. He's been the one constant. He's been the one thing that everybody can count on. He's always been about ball. Even when his body has betrayed him, you know that his focus is on ball. He's not a distraction. He's not making waves.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: I Got Engaged Here Five Years Ago
Yeah, maybe he pays attention too much to what people are saying on social media and he's a bit surly, but he genuinely cares about his craft and it just hasn't worked out and I'm bummed for him.

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo. I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

He was great. When I became a Gene Hackman fan was when I was young and he was old and I hadn't known him for all the great roles that he built his career on. I knew him as like a character actor later in life and he was knocking it out of the park. He willingly retired.

I got a hey, Mike, or at least I'm 90 percent sure I heard a hey, Mike. I was so shell shocked by it because I was in a room in which there were some tensions in the room. So he wasn't my focus for the first time. The awkward interaction that I was focusing on wasn't with Josie and he undercut it. He was right next to me and he said, hey, Mike. I said, hey, back.

Am I weird for thinking that he is showing humility in that clip because he's very deeply honored by who he beat there. And then he's allowed to say what his goals and aspirations are and how this is a mile marker on that way. True greatness doesn't shy away from opportunities to be great.

Postgame Show: Jessica's Top 5 Things She'll Miss In Miami (feat. JuJu Gotti)
Yeah, this is what Mike and I have a passion for soccer, I think. Mine goes way, way back. His may be stronger than mine today. But Lionel Messi and Inter-Miami play tonight at Vancouver in the first leg of two legs in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, which I think, Mike, would be their biggest trophy so far, right, if they win it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Jessica's Top 5 Things She'll Miss In Miami (feat. JuJu Gotti)
Semi-finals tonight. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Jessica's Top 5 Things She'll Miss In Miami (feat. JuJu Gotti)
Yeah, it's a brutal schedule they have because they're going back and forth across the country. Leg two is when? Saturday, I think? Or no, it might be Monday. Anyway. Doesn't matter. But in between, they have an MLS match. So they're playing three matches in a week, and they need Messi for all three, although I think he could skip the middle match. But they really...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Jessica's Top 5 Things She'll Miss In Miami (feat. JuJu Gotti)
The whole team is together now. They're healthy, I think, and Messi's playing as if there were any doubt. And this is a trophy they really want to win, so it's exciting. Obviously, if it weren't for the draft and the NBA and NHL playoffs, this would be number one in the world.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Jessica's Top 5 Things She'll Miss In Miami (feat. JuJu Gotti)
I mean, seriously, though, put that in perspective. Lionel Messi is the most famous athlete in the world playing in a very big tournament for Inter-Miami, and it's barely on the radar down here. That speaks very well of our sports market.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Because we have so much else going on?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Jessica's Top 5 Things She'll Miss In Miami (feat. JuJu Gotti)
promotes it properly? I do. I also think it's fair to say soccer is still a niche sport in this country. And as Mike alluded to, Inter-Miami doesn't have a tradition down here. They were a very bad losing club before Messi arrived. And so they have to earn that.

dass Agenten lügen, Spieler lügen, Teams lügen. Die Berichterstatter versuchen nur, die Informationen zu bekommen, und sie versuchen, genau darüber nachzudenken. Es ist so ein schwieriger Ort, um zu navigieren.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Also habe ich die Entscheidung gemacht, einfach aus dem Mock-Spiel zu steigen und versucht, so viel Intelligenz wie möglich zu vermitteln und euch, Greg, zu ermöglichen, diese Informationen zu nehmen und eure eigenen Gedanken, Opinionen und Ergänzungen zu formen, was diese Teams tun sollten.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Look, I think that's kind of what's fun about this time of year, because First of all, all the head coaches and general managers right now are so thirsty for information. So this is like the one time of year where they call me more than I have to call them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
And then you have to weigh, and you guys will appreciate this, like you'll be on the phone with a coach, let's just say that's picky at the bottom of the first round. And a GM from the top five will give you a call. And you're trying to wrap that call up. And be respectful to the fact that this person is taking time to talk to you about what their team is doing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
But I don't really care what you're doing at 26. I need to know what you're doing at three. So you have to do this polite of like, hey, I gotta go. Someone more important and picking higher than you is calling. This is the time where everyone is just, they love to talk, especially today on actual draft night. They're all really bored right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
So the phones and the texts are all flying around because everyone's just got the nervous energy headed into tonight. But they've all made their decisions on what they're doing. They know the boards are set. So this is kind of the time of year I probably like the best.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
And also, I think there is a little bit of understanding that it's very, very difficult to nail down every single pick because teams do do a really good job of setting out those smoke screens.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Yeah, no, it's a good question because it is weird. This feels like a weird draft. And I say that because you're right, like there's not, that one coach said there's no Robert De Niros. He told me, he's like, There's no Robert De Niros in this. There's no Chalamets. I think we could probably update the reference.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
I'm so glad you said this, because I was on with Maggie Gray this morning, and she was like, hey, I don't want to do the source-off thing, but I'm so interested in who told you that. Her guest was Nick Sirianni, and I loved her mindset on it. She's like, I can see him and Big Dom, and they're talking politics, Goodfellas and like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. It's definitely a Robert De Niro MIA class.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
It's a great observation by you, because I thought the same thing when I wrote it down. And when the coach was saying it over the phone, I'm like... Robert didn't like I almost was like, wait, what do you mean? Like, what do you mean? There's no, you know, like, are we talking politics here? You know, like, what do you, where, where are we going with this?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Um, so yeah, uh, we need to probably get a little bit of an update to some of these coaches and, and jams on, uh, maybe the, the, the latest Oscar winners that, that's what they should be doing so they can make these comparisons better. Um, Also ja, ich erwarte keine wilde Sache im Vergleich zu Michael Penix. Für mich ist es, es wird für mich zu einem meiner mehr erstaunlichen Drafts gehen.

Vielleicht kann ich das sehen, nur um es interessant zu halten. Schau, das ist einer dieser Nächte, an denen wir so viel Homework machen, so viel und so vorbereitet wie Teams können. Es gibt immer etwas Besonderes. Erinnerst du dich an den Covid-Draft? Weißt du, wie seltsam das war?

Ich meine, ich habe mich interessiert über die Situation in Atlanta letztes Jahr. Das sah ziemlich bizarr aus, denkst du nicht? Sie bezahlen den Kirk Cousins all diese Geld und dann machen sie diese random Entscheidung, einfach nur einen Quarterback zu wählen. Das fühlte sich seltsam an. Das scheint kein Raheem Morris-Geruch zu sein.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Hm, oh Gott, ich habe Dan Snyder für das vermisst. Das war eine Antwort auf den Lay-Up. Weißt du, nur durch das mit dem Head Coach letztens, weil ich eine breitere Konversation hatte, wie viele Anwohner du denkst, die im Pick involviert sind, direkt involviert sind. Und der Trainer sagte, 13 von 14. Wir haben eigentlich jedes Team im Fußball durchgeführt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Und das war der Nummer, an den er gekommen ist, weil ich den Team nennen würde. Er würde sagen, ja, ja, nein, nein. Also, wenn ich sage, dass 13 von 14 Anwälte von Tonight sind, was ist deine Reaktion darauf?

Thank you, Mike Ryan. Yes, I reported yesterday that George Kittle wants to be the highest paid tight end in football, which I think that's fair. I think I get it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Wait, so Mike, would you like... I would love to hear your answer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Okay, so you know Arizona paid Trey McBride recently, we'll just say roughly 19 million a year, just a couple weeks ago. So you're George Kittle, your contract's up, you want a new deal, you're going, hey, I should probably be paid more than Trey McBride.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Es ist wichtig zu bemerken, dass George meistens keine OTAs besucht, aber aus der Perspektive der Jungs, aus meiner Sicht, wussten sie nicht, was er tun wird. Und wenn er nicht aufsteht, merken sie, dass das mit den Beratungen zu tun hat. Das hat mit dem Vertrag zu tun. Ich liebe George Kittle. Wir gehen gut zusammen. Ich habe ihn seit Jahren gesammelt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Wir haben eine gute Reporter-Player-Verhältnis. Als er mir tweetete, dass meine Ressourcen falsch waren, war ich so, oh Mann, hier geht's. Weil ich denke, manchmal passiert es in diesen Negotiativen, dass man, wenn man öffentlich sagt, dass man die höchstbetroffene ist, oder zumindest es wird berichtet, dass das, was man sucht, und das war, diese Gespräche wurde bereits mit dem Team durchgeführt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Und dann verstehst du es nicht. Es ist ziemlich schwer, davon zurückzukehren. Ich denke, Spieler mögen es nicht, das da draußen zu haben. Denn wenn sie schlafen, wollen sie nicht öffentlich schlafen, sondern privat. Ich erinnere mich an ein paar Jahre, als Aaron Rodgers sagte, er wolle 50 Millionen pro Jahr verdienen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Und er ging auf Pat McAfee und sagte, diese Frau weiß nicht, worüber sie spricht. Das ist nicht wahr. Das sind Lügen. Journalisten sind schrecklich. Sie ist dumm. Was auch immer er sagte. Guess who signed for 50 million dollars two weeks later? It's just not a good locker room look.

The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Es ist egal, ob es jemand lauter ist oder jemand kalt ist, der sagt, dass ich falsch bin. Ich habe konsistente Beweise, dass meine Informationen richtig sind. Und es geht immer wieder darum, von woher du deine Informationen bekommst. Je stärker du sein kannst, wie ich es in den letzten Jahren gefunden habe, desto stärker sind die Ressourcen. Wenn ich es von
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
einen Agenten, der weiß, dass sie lügen, oder einen Freund. Ich gehe nicht hart damit. Wie du dein Netzwerk von Leuten über die Jahre bildest und du weißt, dass du die Glaubwürdigen kennst, kannst du hart schlagen. Und darum kann ich gehen und sagen, hey, Aaron, nein, nein, das ist, was du willst. Und das ist, was er hat, weil das die Wahrheit ist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
George Kittle will der höchst bezahlte Tight End sein. Ich sage es nicht und gehe gegen ihn, auch nachdem er mich getweetet hat, wenn ich nicht diese sehr, sehr, sehr informierte Leute hätte. Aber es stinkt, weil ich denke, Fans wollen die Spieler immer glauben. Und ich verstehe es. Es ist okay. Ich versuche nicht, den Drama zu verursachen. Es ist einfach so, dass die Wahrheit die Wahrheit ist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Für jetzt denke ich, dass er mit den Jags aufhören wird. Und ich glaube, er ist der beste Rennverteidiger, den wir seit Saquon Barkley gesehen haben. Ich glaube nicht, dass er Saquon Barkley ist.

I did have a talent evaluator share with me that you just have to always keep in mind the weaknesses of these classes, right? So sometimes these players are going higher than they would in any other class. As we've been talking, I feel like pretty much this whole conversation of this just is not a strong, talented class. So I think Gentee is a team to keep an eye on.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Ich mag die Prediktion der Raiders. Wenn die Raiders nicht zurückgehen, sehe ich sie auf der Offensiv-Linie. Ich weiß, dass sie schon sehr viele Gespräche darüber hatten, was sie tun wollen. Und es gab viel Rück und Fort, ob sie zurückgehen oder auf der O-Linie. Ich denke, wenn Jente da ist, sind die Chancen, dass sie mit ihm zurückgehen, wahrscheinlich ziemlich gut.

Wenn du es noch nie gemacht hast, ist es eine wunderschöne Erfahrung, wenn du es nicht weißt. Also sagt sie, Diana, sie geben mir Champagner. Ich denke, sie denken, ich bin die Königin.

And by the way, she got to Florida and all they did was complain about Florida the whole time anyway. So she's the same. So the latest issue she has with me, Dan, is I'm not doing a good enough job mothering. Because of the draft. So she's been at the house a lot and she sees me on the phone.

And so, you know, just the Italian Catholic guilt is on full throttle right now that I'm messing Mikey and Joey up. Because when I'm pushing the swing, I have the phone in my left hand. I'm usually on speakerphone or I'm texting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
And she thinks that that's going to affect them later in life because they're always going to remember, I only had one hand on the swing instead of two, like all the other mothers I went to school with.

So this is she's queen of this. There's like a very universal language in my house. The phone's on my ear. It's probably business. Like I'm not just on the phone with Cassidy Hubberth, right? Like we're busy. So she'll go. Diana, the boys are hungry. Does Joey want a hotdog? Oh, you're on the phone? Who are you on the phone with? Are you done? Do you want me to do the hotdog?

Free agency. This is fun. This is great. You can't do anything here. We're just collecting information, talking about it, gossiping all day. Free agency is way harder and crazier.

Im Grunde genommen, all die Inhalte, die ich möglicherweise über die letzten drei Wochen sammeln konnte, als wir, weißt du, als gestern, weißt du, es war Draft Eve. Und die meiste dieser Info steht heute noch. Aber schau. Manchmal muss man einfach durch das Fett der Konversation gehen und das, was die Leute wirklich glauben und fühlen, über diese Verteidiger sprechen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Besonders, wenn man weiß, dass es eine schwere Klasse ist. Leider glaube ich, dass manche von diesen Sachen wirklich nicht wahr ist. Und ich denke, es macht es wirklich schwer für Shador hier, der an einem Punkt, das kann ich dir sagen, der Nummer eins Verteidiger für die New York Giants war. Sie haben ihn Nr. 1 gewählt. Und das hat sich in den letzten Monaten verändert.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Nicht wegen der anonymsten Quoten, sondern wegen ihrer eigenen Forschung, ihrer eigenen Gespräche, die sie intern hatte, ob er ein guter Fit ist. Aber ja, es ist das Zeitpunkt des Jahres, in dem Dinge fliegen. Die Quote, die ich hatte, die mein Lieblingswort war, war essentiell über all das als Ganzes, was es ist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Für die Fans speziell, wenn ihr denkt, dass euer Team klug ist, dass ihr denkt, dass euer Team genau weiß, was sie brauchen, könnt ihr nie sagen, dass es dumme Teams gibt. Ob ihr es glaubt oder nicht, sie sind einfach da. Und die Anwohner haben einen großen Wunsch über heute.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Yeah, they're not taking calls anymore. They made a decision as an organization to Wow, zwei Christenball-Jungs. Das war der gleiche Head Coach, der mir letztes Jahr gesagt hat, dass Jaden Daniels besser war als Caleb Williams, dass sie ihn übergradiert haben. Look, I remember him telling me that last year and understanding why he was saying that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
But if you remember, the push for Caleb being number one overall, it was absurd how many people were in on that and not saying anything else, not pointing to any other quarterback. So, look, to this coach's defense, he was right on that for now. But yeah, I do think that's interesting that most coaches, Teams do have Cam Ward. But Dan, to me, the story isn't one, who cares, we kind of know it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
It's who's two, right? Because it's been all over the place as we're trying to figure out what the New York Giants are going to be doing. We know they're in at quarterback. What are they going to do at three? At this point, I'm sensing that they're just going best player available, which I assume it to be Abdul Carter when they're on the clock.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Nein, nein, ich glaube nicht. Und auch wenn es ein Team gab, das, sagen wir mal, es tun wollte, ich glaube nicht, dass das die Klasse für es ist. Nur weil es eine schwere Verteidigungsklasse als Ganzes ist. Und das ist ziemlich bekannt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Ich denke, dass Jackson Dart, wenn die New York Giants in der Lage sind, ihn zu holen, oder vielleicht können sie ihn in der zweiten Runde holen. Ich denke, dass es jetzt genug Schmuck gibt, in Bezug auf, wer die Giants wollen, als Jackson Dart der Typ ist. I do think Tyler Schuck is going to go in the top 40 here. I just I'm not sure which team is going to go with him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
I just have heard enough from different coaches about how NFL ready he is. Yes, he's older. So I know he's 26. Yes, I know. I can't believe we're the same age. It's wild to think that that's the situation there. But Das ist nicht schlecht, weil ich auch diese Kombination mit vielen anderen Teams hatte. Was ist das große Problem, dass er 26 Jahre alt ist?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Wenn er spielen kann, musst du dich nicht darüber kümmern, gerade jetzt. Besonders wenn du ein Team bist, das jetzt gewinnen will. Und es gibt Trainer da draußen, die älteren Verteidiger sind, wie wir sie in den letzten Jahren gesehen haben. Ich möchte nur sehen, welches Team es ist, das auf ihn einsteigen wird. Der Shador Sanders.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Ja, vielleicht, aber, weißt du, Bo Nix ist ziemlich alt. Und er hatte eine gute Saison, glaube ich. Ich denke, wir können alle agree, Denver hat das wahrscheinlich gelohnt. Und er wird weitergehen. Schau, er ist nicht 26, aber... Schau, es ist lustig zu denken, dass er der älteste Quarterback in der Quarterback-Runde sein könnte, wenn er gespielt wird und er der Rookie ist. Je nachdem, wo er geht.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Aber schau, die überragende...

um story over the quarterbacks forget the rookies it's kirk cousins i'm i'm watching that i want to see if this happens if they're going to trade them um because look i've heard a couple different versions of of what atlanta wants to do here they don't want to take on his salary but they're willing to give a little because they know they probably gotta move them um kirk has to remember he has no trade clause so if he
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
If a team is interested in trading with Atlanta, Kirk is going to want to get involved here. So I do think if something happens, it's going to be later in the weekend. But that's definitely in play here. You've got the Cleveland Browns, the Pittsburgh Steelers and perhaps the Minnesota Vikings poking around on that. So that's something I'm going to be watching over the next few days.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Das ist eine gute Frage. Ich habe es noch nicht gedacht. Du hast wahrscheinlich recht. Ja, also ich kann dir nur sagen, dass die Pittsburgh Steelers von ihm nicht gehört haben. Sie wissen nicht wirklich, was er tut. Sie hoffen einfach nur, dass Aaron die Zeit nimmt, die er braucht, weil es offensichtlich ist, dass er etwas Persönliches hat, mit dem er es handeln muss.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Er hat das in seiner Interview mit Pat McAfee geteilt. Ich denke, die Steelers sind bereit, ihm... um ihm diesen Raum zu geben. Also, ich meine, solange diese persönliche Sache, was er durchführt hat, und er sich bereit fühlt. Aber ja, ich sehe es nicht. Es ist Aaron Rodgers und er hat einen Weg, News zu machen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Ich weiß es nicht. Ich weiß es wirklich nicht an diesem Punkt, weil ich keine Mannschaft sehe. Ich habe keine Mannschaft gesprochen, die Shador Sanders als ihren Top-Quarterback jetzt in die Nacht geht.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Ich denke, Pittsburgh versucht, sich rauszuholen. Aber sagen wir, dass sie es nicht können. Ich weiß nicht, ob er ihr Typ ist. Ich fühle mich nicht komfortabel, wenn ich sage, dass er ihr Nummer eins Quarterback auf ihrem Board ist und dass sie ihn an diesem Spot holen werden. Sie könnten es tun. Aber ich denke, es sind vielleicht andere Quarterbacks, die Pittsburgh interessiert.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Ja, ich denke, es ist ein kräftiges Statement, aber ich würde mich auch nicht überraschen, wenn er in die zweite Runde fällt. Das würde mich nicht überraschen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Yeah, that's fair. Look, this is one of these drafts where I feel like we can say two things of this and be like, yeah, that would make sense. I could see a team possibly grabbing him at the bottom of the first. I don't see him going in the top ten, no. But I could also see him fall in there somewhere at the top of the second round for a team looking to add, for sure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Yeah, I mean, he's at least being very honest. I don't have the Cowboys taking him there. I do believe from just having conversations that they are going to go offense. Das ist natürlich auch die Position, die sie brauchen, wenn man sich ihre Roststelle anschaut.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Ich glaube, das eine Teil dieses Prozesses, das ich genieße, ist, wie hart diese Teams arbeiten, um so viel Intelligenz wie möglich auf diese Jungs zu entdecken. Und ich liebe es, dass er es einfach da rausnimmt. Ja, ich liebe Fußball nicht so sehr. Ja, das ist ein roter Flagg. Das wird wahrscheinlich nicht dein Stock helfen. Ich glaube nicht, dass das ein Art von...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Ich schaue mich an, als du sprichst, dass Greg Cody mit Shador Sanders 9 zu den Saints geht, und das fühlt sich nicht so genau an. Ja.

The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
He has dart at 21, by the way. Darunter 21. Ich mag das. Ich denke, das ist recht. Ich denke, deine Seenst-Prediktionen sind schlecht. Die Seenst-Prediktionen gehen nicht im Vordergrund.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Ich verabschiede mich, dass du gemockt hast. Greg, um es so zu wissen, coachen und GMs, sogar Anwohner, sie lesen alle Mocken. I haven't asked them if it was you, like when they tell me they read the mocks, I always just assumed it's the Maches, it's the Kipers, it's the Field Yates, Daniel Jeremiah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
But I'm realizing that they may not know of yours, so I'm just going to probably circle back with a few of them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Greg Cuts Off Dianna Russini
Ja, außer Greg wahrscheinlich Daniel Jeremiah. Ich glaube, dass er einer der besten ist. Todd McShade macht einen wirklich guten Job. Ich habe zu einem Team gesprochen, das die Akkuratität betrachtet. Of the mockers.

He's a number three scorer who could do other things as good as anybody in the league, and that's going to be this Heat team's shortcoming this postseason because they don't have that top guy. Like, we can't keep doing this about BAM.

Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
I think their lane to victory is math. And that's why they shot more threes. They were clearly emphasizing we need to shoot more threes than we did in game one, which they did. And this way, let's just play with the math. If we get really hot from three, that ends up being the great equalizer.

Yeah, he's annoyed that the guy who just wants to do his job and make the guy who is hurt feel better, that's his job. He's annoyed that that guy might want to make his player feel better. And then he shouts to Tatum, get up! He barks at him while he then has to go take an x-ray and ends up missing game two, all right? Get up! The guy's hurt!

I just don't think he has that option.

Yeah, percentages on interest. You can make that back very, very easily. The Tesla thing, though, there's a subtext to it. Why he did that thing at the White House, too, is because when he purchased X, he borrowed money to purchase X. And as collateral, he put up shares of Tesla. So if it dips below a certain price, that puts the X thing in jeopardy.

Well, I would love for people to come out on Friday night. The Cyclones are playing. Fridays are open to the public. It's the only day that Battlecourt is open to the public. It is free to attend. We are going to have a big crew out there. A lot of people from the show are going to be rooting ourselves to Cyclones. It's a biggie.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

He's already in Cancun, depending on how you look at it. The season hasn't exactly gone our way. How does it feel to be an owner of a highlight team? Battlecourt team. Battlecourt. There is a difference. For the uninitiated, there is the great sport of highlight, which originated in the Basque region. And what Battlecourt has done is applied a team concept to it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
It works kind of like team racquetball in a sense. Florida is the only place where
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
Well, I think the sport is right now at an exciting inflection point and it's accessible nationwide via YouTube, the HiLi app, watch ESPN and ESPN3. I wasn't quite at the age where it was peaking and it was a place to see and be seen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
but uh i'm of the age where these places started closing down daniela is still kind of cooking keeping the sport alive but there used to be plenty of other places nearby where you can watch highlight and it kind of got said in our show is a very proud history of trying to do its best to revive it come on
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
A real natural fit that the Levitard show and cast members adjacent to it are linking up with Battlecourt and trying to revive it. I think you've been out here for a game before. Multiple times I've been out here. It's a fun atmosphere. We get people into it. Our side in particular starts chanting and acting all sorts of ridiculous. It's a real fun way to spend a Friday night.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
And all I want is people to give it a chance.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
I can't lie. When I was first approached by the fine folks at Battlecourt, I thought it would be largely ceremonial and just an opportunity to cosplay Chris Cody as this ridiculous sports team owner that would parody some really outrageous sports owners. But a funny thing happened when we first got involved. We really liked it. and they really empowered us to really manage the roster.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
We built relationships. I watch so much Hi-Li. I'm not gambling again. I honor the code. I don't take action in the sport, but I like scouting. I like pretending like I know what I'm talking about. Like I said, we have a proud track record. If you follow the sport closely enough, you can kind of GM it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
We were talking about that before. It's a hard sport to get invested in because anybody can pick up a pickleball paddle. Anybody can pick up a racket or a soccer ball or a pigskin and toss it around. There's not many places down here where you can pick up a sesta. Number one, they're very hard to find. They're all handmade.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
And find a wall where you can fire off a pelota at 100 miles per hour without doing some serious damage. It's a very dangerous sport. So I know it's really difficult to play. Have you put on a sesta?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
It's very hard. It feels unnatural. You want to turn your wrist, you want to turn your elbow, you want to do all sorts of things that'll actually injure your arm. I have the ultimate amount of respect for people that do this. Maybe you'll have the opportunity to put a sessa on your arm. It'll feel very unnatural. I always have to remind myself of that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
Anytime there's like an unforced error and I get frustrated with the player, what they're doing out there is insane. It's like, how about you do it? I would literally die. Not joking. If you put me out there in an intense regulation game of battle court, I would die. There's a million decisions that they have to make in a given minute.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
in a given three set match that their life literally depends on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
Well, it's going to sound corny, but in getting to know the sport and getting to know the players and knowing people's backgrounds, this is a passion play. These people are deeply passionate about this sport. There's no other way that they would find themselves here on the one place on the planet that plays this brand of high lives.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
The least I can do is take the time with you, speak in front of cameras and afford our platform on the Levitard Show to really let people, to pound the table for something that is really cool and gnarly. People shouldn't really be doing this. It's so dangerous and cool to look at, especially when someone's diving after a rebote off this one huge piece of glass. I think two players are broken.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
That's how hard. This bulletproof glass. Two players are broken with just a serve, and they dive into this net full speed and find a way to acrobatically not injure themselves. I mean, how can you not love it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
I'm not exactly sure what the Magic City Bounce is. Anytime the ball does something you don't expect, you just say, ah, Magic City Bounce. That's classic, yeah. There are a couple of players here that have like signature tosses. Yeah. Lopez on the Cyclones has this crazy backhand shot. What a catch by Lopez. Here's the backhand low runner. He's new to the game of Battlecourt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
He's been playing over in the Basque region on courts that are three times the size of this. So you can imagine on this Battlecourt front, on that bulletproof clasp, a player that's known for his backhand shot. It is a gnarly shot. Ribote, rifle to the outside and tipped. Beautifully played by Lopez. Do you have a favorite player? Our team captain, Manu.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
No, but in terms of stature in the sport, he's better than Manu Ginobili. Wow. He's the best backcourter in the world, and he has been on the Cyclones since Battlecourt's inception. There are a lot of great people here in the sport, but I struck up a friendship with Mike Carballo, and I have the ultimate respect for Manu.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
So those two guys, they're lifelong Cyclones, no matter what happens, even if they're other incarnations of the Cyclones.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
Anybody that's ever won a championship with the Cyclones or plays for the Cyclones this year has this beautiful bomber jacket that cost me way too much money that I'm not telling my wife about.

Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
That is a pretty good point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
They're really good, though. Like, that's the crazy part is they've been good without him, and when he's there, they can beat just about anybody in the West. That's what's really wild right now, is there are all these teams right around the play-in. You have the Timberwolves, who made a run last year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
The Clippers, they have the same, not the same winning percentage, but they're both 18 games back, so they're sitting at 7-8. And then you have Golden State. Right there is the 6th seed, just a game ahead of them, so all those teams are vying to square up against whoever the 3rd seed is, but
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
Man, when you're thinking about being Oklahoma City or Houston or the Lakers as these one, two, and three seeds, the Clippers, to me, of all those teams, might actually be the team I want the least. They're deep. They're big. They could have won the championship last year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
No, that's totally fair. And for that matter, when you're looking at one of the other teams there, it's Golden State. Jimmy is going to be there for the playoffs because he hasn't played for a year. So he's going to be available.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
Well, it's really crazy because when you look back at it five years ago, obviously Mookie Betts now just won a World Series with the Dodgers. They're one of the greatest teams you've ever seen. And the Red Sox were on a path when they had Mookie Betts and a whole bunch of these other guys coming up. Xander Bogarts, who's no longer there as well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
The reason this came up recently is because Alex Verdugo was an outfielder for the Yankees last year. I know that name. Not the best season. Still a free agent, kind of surprisingly. He's been a big league player for several years. But he was the headliner in the Mookie Betts trade.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
So when you look back on February 10th, 2020, the Red Sox traded Mookie Betts and David Price to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for Alex Verdugo, Jeter Downs, and Connor Wong. Woof. That was the trade that they made. And it's the fact that the Red Sox are even a competitive franchise when they made a trade that bad shows you that they've actually done a pretty good job.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
Otherwise, that is one of the most overwhelmingly terrible trades I can think of, maybe in baseball history. Mookie Betts is one of the best players of this era by a long shot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
Maybe the closest that you have in terms of an era of free agencies the 98 yankees but i don't think there's anything close to what you're seeing they have a player better than babe ruth and he might not even be their best hitter on their team

that it doesn't matter who the anchors are. You guys are telling me that there's a new big show because Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann changed television, but they were also at the center of bucking up against ESPN on ESPN wanted them to change television, but wanted ESPN to get the credit for changing television, not any individual to have the personal power to be able to do anything
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
that harms those letters if they leave. In fact, I would say that one of the chief forms of leadership at ESPN has been simply to make sure that no one else establishes the precedent of being more important than the other folks on the network. We experienced that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Yeah, well, I mean, I would say that just in general, it's not even a bad thing to do as a business because it's one way to keep costs down. So I like that late show. I like Scott Van Pelt as a personality, but I don't believe that if I suddenly took Scott Van Pelt off of that and did a form of the same show...

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Not what I said, not what I would ever say. I would say that if ESPN chooses to make its midnight flagship something that it's pouring all of its resources in, because one of the things you guys just said is, oh, he's got the greatest guests. That has nothing to do with Scott Van Pelt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Like that Scott Van Pelt is being put in a good position to have maximum support and resources and do that better than most people have ever done it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Wow, that's something to say there, even as I admire all of his gifts. Why did they show my fist pump?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Yeah, I think so. Got a couple of top five lists for you here on college basketball-related content. What are you shrugging your shoulders about here, Tony?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
We did a Sunday show that was not zero zilch. We did three hours on Sunday to talk about the tournament.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
It's called the seventh day, but... No, Sunday is the end of last week. Sunday is not this week. That's how it feels.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
You say the calendar, and I'm saying what's going to come back on this poll is that Sunday was last week, that Monday is the beginning of the week, that when your work week starts, that's the beginning of the week. I don't care what the calendar says. Your boss says get to work. Monday's the beginning of the week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Your boss overtakes the calendar and all of time history to say that Monday is the beginning of the week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
generally the sentiment during these times i don't care what the fact is i'm going off the gut no no i'm polling is what i'm asking i'm making it a democracy on the internet that's what i'm asking you and i'm just asking that's a good bold question and wait till you get shocked by everyone's gonna say monday everyone's gonna get this one wrong even though you say the fact is this everyone's gonna go with not the fact uh let's go first to chris's top five list what is your top five list what is the subject matter
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
All right. Any OLIs here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
All right. Are there five great sports Thursdays, Zaslow? I don't think. That's why there are no OLIs. I could think of. I think there's some. I think you can, yeah. You think you can come up with six.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
No, you can't ruin his list. There are only five. I'm not totally sure how he's going to get to five. You better not leave any of mine off. Well, I don't think there are six. So let's see what his number five is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Yeah. Do you have a sixth one?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
It fell on, it's 6 a.m. on a Thursday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Oh, next Thursday. Okay, so not the fake opening day, the real opening day? Yeah. Okay, and Tony's top five list is just five players to watch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Which is different from what I said.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Okay, it didn't sound like you liked it. And not everyone is going to be watching the tournament, not even most people. And you say a lot of people are going to be watching. But when it comes to Earth, it's not even a lot of people. But continue.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Well, there isn't like I saw John Oliver do a piece last week on sports betting. And one of the things that he did was point out, among other things, that people are betting on ping pong and betting on ping pong in Poland.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Right now, what we're talking about today in college basketball, there's nothing quite like this when it comes to gambling, which is a whole lot of people gambling on something that they know very little about while doing it because it's just sports is happening and on my television, what I'm tuning in for is just action with my money. It's not necessarily that I care about St.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Mary's or Virginia Commonwealth or know anything about the participants.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
I don't think it's the most reckless you can be in life.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
It is often the case. It's not the case for everybody. But in terms of concentrated, I don't think there's anything like these two rounds here at the beginning where you're just inundated with action all over the place. Olympics were pretty good. That was a rush. See, now I don't think of that as the gambling event that this is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Do any of you feel some of the dirty that you feel at the NFL Sundays at the end of the day where you've just been in your house watching something on the couch or in a bar?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
I have not been to Vegas on Super Bowl Sunday, so I don't know if there's anything that compares to what is presently going to happen in Vegas as soon as this thing kicks off. But in terms of a sports thing, the two things that I have felt that are strongest in Vegas is heavyweight fight, when that mattered and you had a heavyweight champion that people cared about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
and what this week is in the sportsbooks because it's just an insanity. Oh, and 9 a.m.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
That's not a real name, is it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Is his name actually Money? It's got to be a nickname. Did his parents name him Money? You don't know. His mama called him Money.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
I'm not sure his mama calls him Money, but okay. Mike, look that up for me. I'm building out my DK. Okay, perfect.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Just Sparty. I think you're doing that, and my father would do that. It's a Cuban thing, yeah, sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Do you know where Con Canuple plays? I like saying that name, Con Canuple.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
That is good. That's excellent work. I remember somebody at Sports Illustrated, there was a wide receiver named, I think, Marte Jenkins, and he was saying that the difference between Marty and Marte is the difference between a party and a partay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
White guys. Backdoor cuts. Okay, but we already did con Canumpa. Where are we on this?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
He's a white guy. He's giving you a paragraph. He was highlighting part of the secret sauce. Wait a minute. Chris isn't supporting what's happening here because I just – Chris muttered – I don't think this was on the air. I think it was just to be – He rolled his eyes at one point. He didn't just roll his eyes. What I heard in my ears is him saying, great, a stat on every guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
One of the reasons that I like Florida in this tournament so much, I think against Auburn, Alabama, and Tennessee, they were 5-1. That team, I don't know how you feel about this. I'm excited, yeah. How do you guys feel about this? Because Zaslow, like Udonis Haslam, identifies as a Miami guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
But has a certain allegiance to Florida when Florida starts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
He's going to be a good pro.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Well, I noticed this and you made it about railing. Against community colleges.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
The thing that you did is that you deflected from me saying that you're a Miami fan, Miami through and through, right up until the Gators are good at something, and then all of a sudden you're orange and blue. Well, I'm allowed to. It's my school.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Again, though, you identify as a Miami person. And to me, it feels wrong to identify as a Miami person and then have this undercurrent of traitorous orange and blue.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
I am a Miami person. You publicly present. I've lived here my whole life. As you are Miami first. Yeah. And I don't know that these two things are allowed to coexist. Why not? I'm from Miami.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
at the university because miami people hate university of florida people that's how that one works and so you and udonis haslam are the rare few that i point to and i'm like those are mixed allegiances be careful what you say about us as someone that is a hurricane fan that didn't go to the school too i have the utmost respect for people that went to other schools yeah how about that i'm an amazing miami hurricanes fan i went to uf and i still root for the hurricane
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Well, when my school's good, I show out. Okay, but that's what I'm objecting to. What I'm objecting to is how bandwagon that is. That's okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
I wanted to ask you guys, I do not watch and have never watched any reality television. I'm going to have a hard time saying to you guys in my entire history or in the history of reality television, I'll be... someone who has trouble naming. Like you never watched the real world? Reality shows, no. I never got into any of that stuff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
However, I am interested in something that I feel like the grand majority of people are not interested in, at least in part because they find the subject unlikable. The Alec Baldwin reality show on Max where they're showing you the innards of his life when his wife presents as Hispanic but isn't Hispanic. They have seven kids and six animals and he's OCD.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
So about cleanliness and stuff, that's a bit of a nightmare to have seven kids, six animals, and be OCD about cleanliness. But they're also in his life as all of this stuff happens around him where he's killed somebody and is headed to trial because on the set a gun went off and he was holding the gun.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
I have found, I'm only a couple of episodes in, and I've found it interesting, but I think that a lot of people realize really don't like Alec Baldwin for reasons ranging from arrogance to politics to behavior with the paparazzi and stuff. Doesn't seem to like being famous at this point, but... To me, being in that man's life at that time, like really in his life, is interesting viewing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Where are you guys on this? Because I don't think many people are watching it. And when I brought it up before, no one's interested in talking about it. And I'm not sure why.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
I'm interested in Alec Baldwin. I've been interested in Alec Baldwin. I'll tell you why. I read a long profile on him many years ago when I thought of him as a very accomplished actor and a bit of a movie star. And he was saying in the article with Uncommon Vulnerability and Self-Awareness, I failed as a movie star.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Hank Azaria would say that after Birdcage, what famous people get who have a hit movie or show like Jeremy Piven or whatever is you get three chances. They'll give you three movies, and Hank Azaria chose Mystery Alaska and Godzilla and something else. It's a good movie. and then never got to be like the star principal again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Jeremy Piven got this after Entourage where he got a couple of chances and then didn't get more chances after that. Alec Baldwin was talking about himself as a failure and the awareness of it made him someone I'm interested in. I bought his biography. And his wild arrogance is also something I'm interested in. But the rest of you, just find him not likable. Aaron Rodgers is running into this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
These reports yesterday about Aaron Rodgers is having all sorts of trouble getting any media jobs as a possibility as a fallback to retiring because the executives being quoted are calling him insufferable. There's a likability factor that you kind of need if you want people. This is what Scott Van Pelt has where you're talking about I enjoy spending time with this person.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
They have a personality that is likable.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Yeah, she's got an accent and everything. She speaks Spanish. She's a Hispanic face? Like, I don't get it. She's not Hispanic. I don't like that. I don't like that. I mean, it's not something you see every day. It's not very common to have someone speaking in a Spanish accent when they're not Hispanic. Like...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Talk your shit, Taylor! 6-12 in the conference, Texas was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
You can catch Zaslow on ESPN Radio, and something that I've noticed, I noticed it this morning when I was... Go on. ...downstairs, that on ESPN, one of the anchors on ESPN, I did not recognize, that happens a lot to me, but looked extraordinarily young to me. And the thing that I wanted to talk to you guys about is... is if the highlight show is endangered and if the sports anchor is endangered.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Because we have sports that we consume through highlights. The casual fan observes through highlights. The NBA chief among them. But observing it on highlights on your phone or through your social media is different than having to go to your television. And I assume... I don't assume.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
I actually know that throughout the industry, everyone's being asked to take pay cuts because media is shrinking, media is in trouble, and there are fewer jobs in general than there used to be. And as a practice, ESPN makes sure that the four letters are the thing that matters the most and that other parts are interchangeable or disposable, I think.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
I think Scott Van Pelt is so popular that ESPN will continue to pay him. But I also know that if ESPN lost Scott Van Pelt, it wouldn't be some sort of seismic thing just because in general, the sports anchor is less valuable throughout ESPN.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Jeremy just whispered to me, is this what it feels like when I talk? Is it that bad? You're less nervous. Okay. But you don't have the accompanying visual aid of popping out from under Mike Ryan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
In honor of our guest, the Maverick, Ryan Blaney, I put together a top five list that I think plays well. This is top five guys in sports that can rock a cap.

You're about to find out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
Number three, CeCe Sabathia. You're just doing it sideways. I'm not. Kyle Shanahan wears the flat brims. And number two, Jay-Z. Strong. Obviously ranked ahead of CeCe Sabathia because he can make the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee hand. And number one, race day, Ryan Blaney. Oh, wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
This is an older photo. Ryan Blaney with the hair flipped out in the back. That is peak. No one is better than that.

Hey everybody, it's Mike Ryan, and how great is this weather? We're getting out of the coldest part of winter into the early onstage spring. I know down south, the weather is perfect. It is perfect Miller time weather. You got MLB, MLS, you got NHL, you got all the sports going on, plenty of excuses to gather around a TV and have yourself a wonderful Miller time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)

Sonaro is the first name, and then it's actually Sandro.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
Everyone still talks about it, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
Did you do like the three goggles?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
That's generally not the aesthetic for that sport in particular.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
My favorite is when they show highlights of the 2008 March Madness and you're like, what is this? Skinny tops, but they got capri pants?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
Look, we've knocked it out the park with both of our NASCAR interviews. They both went so well, Iceman and Maverick. Maverick went so well that we actually once again forgot to play Vroom or Vroom Vroom, which is a game that we've spent a lot of time in pre-production for.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
So we need to find another NASCAR driver named Goose, preferably, and play Vroom or Vroom Vroom because these are really good questions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
What is Vroom or Vroom Vroom? I'm glad that you asked. It's a game that we play with our guest. And Vroom is just like, oh, you know, that's okay. Vroom is like, meh. Yeah, I kind of like that. That's all right. But Vroom Vroom, I really like it. You're in on that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
I love that. I'm good at that game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
Well, it doesn't make sense with you guys. Well, are they just racing questions or are there other questions? No, no, no. They're not questions about racing whatsoever. Wow, that's how you get them. But that's how you get them. But you don't, I mean, it went so well. NASCAR drivers as personality types, by the way, have come a really long way since I was a kid.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
And it's something that these teams, they look for because his schedule is insane. With all these events, I mean, when you think about sponsorships in sports, a lot of people think about NASCARs. They have obligations for like every single one of those on race week. They're doing interviews moments before they hop in the car. They're doing interviews while they're racing. It's pretty crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
And they have to be good at it now. They really value that. You have to essentially be an alien from another universe. You have to be like Verstappen level to not be marketable.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
Well, it's stock car racing. So they kind of legislate parity within the sport. Some teams have more resources, some teams have charters, and they've been doing this a long time, and some teams are just better when they build out better pit crews. But what I'm trying to get at is there's not a lot that separates these drivers. because all the cars are meant to be kind of equal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
You have faster cars, no doubt, but they're meant to be equal. In coaching, what makes a great coach, I imagine, the distance between, hey, can this guy sell our program? You don't care about that so much. Give me the best coach. Give me a tactical advantage. Yeah, give me some guy that can recruit, and maybe his team is good enough that the program can recruit itself.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
But in NASCAR, you need the total package. You've got to be a good driver, absolutely, but you have to knock these media availabilities out of the park.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
because we're trying to grow the sport and people forget like NASCAR is an immense weekly property you get four million people tuning into a race on average so far this season that dwarfs the NBA when it comes to appointment television on the weekends when there's not NFL football going on it's this right here NASCAR so you have to essentially be a CEO of your team because you're often representing them in public and you have to try to win new people over constantly
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
My favorite driver, Kyle Larson, is probably one of the weaker talkers of the big drivers. And that's because if anybody—Kyle Larson won a dirt track race last night, and now he's headed to Homestead. He's the guy that is like Verstappen level. You have to be— an insanely talented driver to overcome deficiencies in marketability.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
At least from what I've gathered, I am a Johnny-come-lately to the sport, but it is night and day from when I was growing up watching these guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
I think there's something about the hiring process that kind of diminishes that aspect of it. It's such an incestuous business, such a networking-based thing. Guys, they have their career arcs. They get taken from one staff to another, and it's just all who you know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
Yeah, but it's just that they're not often, when you get to the high level of running a big-time program in college basketball, they offer you the job. You don't necessarily always have to interview for it, so you don't have to peacock, and you just get fortified in your ways. Are we calling Rick Pitino charismatic?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
It's been a hard luck season for the 12 car this season so far. You've been having good cars and just, well, I guess the sentiment can be expressed best by Cal Shiesty on X when he tweeted out, can't wait for Homestead where Blaney will lead the first 266 laps and then get struck by a f***ing meteor on the last lap.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
So I guess, Ryan, are you going to get struck by a f***ing meteor on the last lap this week? Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: What'd You Say? (feat. Ryan Blaney)
Like Frank Asoa.

I started following NASCAR closely last season and there have been really some spectacular looking yet really awful wrecks and knock on wood every time the driver gets out gives a signal to the crowd that they're okay and I'm astonished by that all the sign said has gone into protection and then they show the camera inside and I see the driver's neck get knocked around I don't know if you ever get desensitized with the wrecks being having the job that you do it's a part of the job but

You've got to undo everything that is said about your organization, though, in one season because the culture thing has become a punchline.

It wasn't with this community. I know people feel a certain way about Jimmy, and I understand if you're a passionate Heat fan, you don't like the way that went down and you don't like what he did. But it's over. You have way more good memories with Jimmy Butler, and you have to give the opportunity to the fans to respond however they may want.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
But you leave it up to the fans, and you give them that opportunity.

That's fine. I would give them the opportunity. I just I think you owe it to the fans even more than you owe it to Jimmy to let them have that moment and speak for themselves.

I can only be so mad at Jimmy for making it messy. That's what Jimmy does when he wants to get out of town. I'm mostly disappointed at Pat, because I think he backed Jimmy into a corner that made it extra messy. But also, you know that, right?

was that the very first time okay well i i know that he was like a dmp for a lot but okay you're right but i i've been separated from the emotion of the miami heat because of the way that the season's gone down but the jimmy thing is totally different than the lebron thing because jimmy's at the end of his career and he may have one last which you would believe would make the response to lebron even worse and which is why we gave him a nice response when he

even like no matter the reaction like let's say the fans largely applaud is he gonna do like a classy wave to the crowd and and try to share the love and yeah we had well he's always said that about he he says he's connected to the city and the fans he said that throughout he's a different guy when he's on the court and he knows the cameras are on him and i'm genuinely curious like

Is he going to be able to separate the reception from the fans from his feelings about the organization? Does he take an opportunity to show that he doesn't care? Does he just blankly stare, which I think is probably a likely outcome?

Who gets the ball first? That is the answer. Because if he gets the ball first, He's got a chance because Meech hasn't played in how long? A long time. Right, out of shape and everything. Out of his mobile. And Tony's a good shooter, so also he gets to step back and take Meech out of his comfort zone a little bit. True. But if Meech gets the ball first.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Aaron Rodgers Enigma And Tony's Nestling
But that's assuming that Meech gets the ball first. If he doesn't miss. I'll tell you, Dan, I'll tell you a story. My buddy Andrew Schultz, years and years ago, challenged Jay Williams.

and I will still beat you. And sure enough, Schultz got the ball first, he missed, and then what I told Schultz was gonna happen is exactly what happened. Jay Williams, you think of him, oh, he was a point guard, he's not doing any of that. He's taking your ass to the block and boom, boom, boom, layup, every single time. So he scores six straight points like that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Aaron Rodgers Enigma And Tony's Nestling
On the seventh one, because he wanted to be disrespectful, he said, I'm a setback, And as he's dribbling, he throws the ball off of Andrew's head. Off the easy. Hard. And the funny thing was, Andrew, after maybe his first or second bucket or whatever, Totally spent. This is a guy who plays pick up all the time. After two buckets of Jay Williams just ground and pound, he was done.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Aaron Rodgers Enigma And Tony's Nestling
He was like a boxer. He had jelly legs and everything. But throwing the ball off his head woke him up somehow because Jay catches it, perfect rhythm, puts up the shot, and it rims out. and Andrew grabs the ball, and now he's energized. His pride is in there. And he hits him with his signature Hezzy dribble, puts up a bullshit shot that bounces and bounces and bounces and drops.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I don't know. That's the whole point. The whole point was, before that shot, Meech, I'd shot three or four from that same spot. Oh, you can't do that. No, no, listen to me. Let me tell the story, right? All right, all right. This is like the fourth or fifth shot from that spot. I'd made all the other ones. The guy who recorded it was like, oh, that's cool. Amin is draining these shots.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Aaron Rodgers Enigma And Tony's Nestling
Let me get a video. The first one I shot after he stopped recording is that one. And he said, oh, this is even better. Performance anxiety. I didn't know. I didn't know until after the game. This is before the game. I found out after the game, he said, you haven't checked Twitter, have you? I'm like, no, why, what happened?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Aaron Rodgers Enigma And Tony's Nestling
And I thought it was because there was a turnover late in the game that I made. I was like, yeah, it was a dumb turnover. He's like, oh, it's not about the turnover. I'm like, oh, then what is it about? And then I saw that, and that's when I realized. It's about that mad shot right there. How's that behind me?

So that's my question, though. Some people change. Legitimately change and unravel or whatever. Did he unravel or was he always like this and he just had a great facade?

Hour 1: Aaron Rodgers Enigma And Tony's Nestling
of a crackpot. John, I'm curious because, again, you work with a lot of people in this regard. What is the long-term impact of the pandemic? I feel like people change. That thing changed people in a way that I didn't feel impacted. It sucked and it was a boring time and a scary time. But I don't think about it much now. And I feel like me in 2019 is pretty much the same as me right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Aaron Rodgers Enigma And Tony's Nestling
But I feel as I go around, I see these videos of people freaking out on airplanes and just acting a fool in public. I feel like the pandemic changed something in people, like on an emotional stability level. Do you experience that or is that just kind of anecdotal?

It was great. But if Joel Embiid had suffered your injury, he'd be out for three months.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Titans Soft? Feat. John Amaechi
How many of these minus do you get? Even A's tone was very good there. Excellent tone. Also Joel Embiid. But I was laughing a lot because, no, Joel Embiid's super soft. It's a fact. But every time I watch Stephen A. Smith, I just marvel at how good he is at this. He's incredible. He's incredible. He's got papers in front of him, but he's reading it better than anybody in the biz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Titans Soft? Feat. John Amaechi
That was as insightful a take on Joel Embiid that I've heard. And I'm not speaking for Sixers fans. I'm just speaking for myself here. I truly don't resent Joel Embiid for being hurt. He's dealt with a lot of legitimate injuries. I think where the resentment comes from the casual sports fan, the casual NBA follower is, I resent you for sitting out to avoid getting hurt. Because he does that a lot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Titans Soft? Feat. John Amaechi
There's a huge chunk of this percentage where Joel Embiid is not on the court because it's a part of a maintenance plan. And I think Stephen A. kind of spoke to that in that, OK, but you sit out to avoid getting hurt, but you're just going to get hurt anyway. So just go out there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Titans Soft? Feat. John Amaechi
I also watch him play, and I know his proclivity to get injured, and I wonder aloud, then why are you flopping around throwing your huge frame on the floor? Why is this a part of your game? Because it is. It's an annoying part of Joel Embiid's game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Titans Soft? Feat. John Amaechi
If you're so susceptible to injury, why haven't you eliminated that part from your game, where you embellish to get calls because you're a gigantic guy falling on the hardwood?

I don't like the Sixers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Titans Soft? Feat. John Amaechi
But it's been that way since we've ever started having company parties. That's just always been the policy. Like, I walked into it, and I just assumed that there were no plus ones. And then I saw Izzy broke that rule, and I was like, oh, damn, this is going to be a fight. So it wasn't.

Local Hour: Are The Titans Soft? Feat. John Amaechi
Oh, I thought that was like a shoe. I thought it was like twerking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Titans Soft? Feat. John Amaechi
And in closing, I think another thing that Joel Embiid falls victim to is, okay, you have this frame that's susceptible to injuries. A lot of the Philly frustration is, then why don't you take care of your body more? Because his conditioning is constantly under scrutiny because You're always unhealthy. Why don't we change up the conditioning plan? Why don't we do something different?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

It feels like a straw man. That's not one of those finesse teams. Everybody knows. Straw man. That's been Tennessee's identity for a long time. They may not be good, but they're going to be tough to play because they're a tough team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Titans Soft? Feat. John Amaechi
Dan, if I may, isn't the implied gambit that we understand they're tough. They're playing football, a game of real estate acquisition. But by comparison to other teams, they are soft. And if that is indeed the gambit, then it's a fair accusation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Are The Titans Soft? Feat. John Amaechi
I guess I've watched football long enough that I think I can tell which teams are tough and their identity is we are more physical. It's something that you know when you see.

It took us a little bit to find out how to be anti-establishment from within the establishment.

Only at the players. The players. The players. The players. The players. It's a beautiful course to watch on television as well. Yeah. It's just the game pops, the Island Green specifically, but this entire course pops. The weather is always immaculate this time of year at TPC Sawgrass. It's a pure joy to watch this tournament.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Magic Crate of Content Saves the Day
You're guaranteed better weather at this one than you usually are for Augusta because that's a little further up north and occasionally... The weather can get a little wonky up there. This is certainly way better than the British Open, which is essentially just taupe. You're constantly fiddling with your settings on your TV. That's where golf started, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Magic Crate of Content Saves the Day
Golf should not be played with 40-mile-per-hour winds and your knees deep in the rough. It's just a terrible viewing experience. You can't even work in a proper golf nap. TPC Sawgrass, it exists for the golf nap. You'll take the golf nap. Players. You'll take it from like 7 to 12, hole 7 to hole 12, and then you're good. You don't miss much. And you still got 17, the island green ahead of you.

Have you ever played this hole?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Magic Crate of Content Saves the Day
You're absolutely right. It's the players' major. Yeah. It's the players' championship. This is one of the most beautiful courses in all of golf. Best hole in golf? Yes. The Island Green. The Island Green. It's the only hole in golf that I have immortalized in a T-shirt that I bought. 17 at TPC Sawgrass is special. It's where tournaments are won and lost.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Magic Crate of Content Saves the Day
You have to also apply the fact that punching up or down is very subjective.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Magic Crate of Content Saves the Day
You'll get the occasional electrifying hole in one. This is a beautiful course with a beautiful hole. You have it on a t-shirt? I do. A long sleeve, navy blue. Might have been green. Might have been the day to wear it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Magic Crate of Content Saves the Day
I mean, he has regular platforms, and I do think it's still early in this. We're not even two months into the new administration, but Bill Burr was held up by the right often during the last administration. In fact, his Netflix movie was championed by the right for its themes, and he was always kind of held up as someone that would push against this cancel culture. So he's equal opportunity.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Magic Crate of Content Saves the Day
I just think it's a little bit magnified because the left is chasing now, and he's always kind of remained the same guy.

Listen, boys, we got to talk about Jägermeister, a go-to guy at home, at the bar, or maybe even out at the rink. A drink so ice cold, it deserves its own video tribute at every sports bar across North America. No trash talk, no running its mouth. We love the confidence on them.

Ray Hudson's the greatest color commentary voice for me, at least based out of America. Europeans can have their opinion. But readily available... voices on the biggest games.

They are presently, I asked David Sampson this, and I think Dwayne Kuyper got, had, there was a threat on awful announcing where he was just beside himself. And by the end of it, he was just like, F it, they should be the Oakland Athletics. They're playing in Sacramento for a couple of seasons here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Just Delivered The News
So they're not in Las Vegas, so you can't refer to them as the Las Vegas A's. You can't refer to them as the Oakland A's. It would make sense to call them the Sacramento A's, but from a branding standpoint, that's a little confusing. Las Vegas is also a sponsor, so they have a patch on the jersey. The city of Las Vegas, their tourism board took out ads there. They're just the athletics.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Just Delivered The News

Understood. Well, they got newlywed Jimmy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Just Delivered The News
No, no doubt. And I'm kind of rooting for that narrative. It's all right. You can kind of know more if you're plugged in as to what actually happened there. And give yourself over to the narrative and be happy for the guy. I do hope that Heat fans kind of rally around him and root for him in the playoffs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Just Delivered The News
It ended so ugly and it was so counterculture to how the Heat operate that maybe that's not going to happen. And it's unfortunate because that guy, given his performances in the playoffs previously, especially in this uniform... I want them to get the title so that can't be held against them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Just Delivered The News
I'm interested in attending that game. When is it? The 25th.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Just Delivered The News
Oh, it's a Tuesday? I can make that. Yeah, I'll give them a standing ovation. I hope they do the tribute video. I guess that's a bigger question. They will do the tribute video. They're not doing the tribute video. Dude, the Heat are classy. That's why we need Dan's reporting. 100% they do a video. They got to do a video. 100% they do a video. That is so petty.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Just Delivered The News
I hope they're not even entertaining that. You've got to be the bigger person in this situation. He's a legend. He deserves to get his jersey retired. I understand that it's a conversation for another day. Whatever the problem is between the organization and the player, that's fine. This Heat fan base has a relationship with Jimmy that I think can see past how it ended.

Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
I was watching the game at home. I remember watching the game at home. I can't believe they left Kevin Love on an island against Steph, and he held his own.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
I remember everyone was like, I think I'm coming down with something.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
What do you mean it's an arcane detail? If the county doesn't pick it up, some hillbilly down at home said will.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
It was a wonderful game. Honestly, hand to God, Among the most fun soccer games I've experienced.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
You know, the Tri-County area, they're mostly owned independently. So we don't have to worry about the bankruptcy one because I can tell you. That Doral one ain't going anywhere. Yeah, the Doral one's strong.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
No, no, no. There's two more.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Most scared I've ever been leading up to a game in my entire life. I straight up haven't been able to shit the same way since.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
We all did. We all did. His house, though, Greg.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
I'm a soccer sicko. There's something about this competition in particular, which is really difficult for American teams to win. It's been around since the 1960s. It's really mattered here in the United States for probably 30 years. And famously, Mexican teams always win it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Wow. Yeah. I wasn't even watching the game. And then I looked it up in my Metro PCS. I'm like, how can I find clips of this? This was a top three with filler.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Thank you. All right, Greg, you go. Nothing to cough at.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
You know what? I didn't understand that the list would invoke when basketball was actually good. I have one. You saw the vision, right? You see the vision.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
It is really difficult to win this competition because, randomly, you'll have something that happened a couple of weeks ago, which is, in Miami and your whole team, you've got to go over to Jamaica and play on a rough pitch in weird conditions that you're not used to. It really challenges those MLS teams. This one was an MLS team against an MLS team, no doubt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
No, it's clearly and obviously. Shazam movie. We're all revealing we did not listen to Pablo's episode about this. No doubt. No doubt. I guarantee you, you all remember where you were the first ever XFL game, too. No. You don't?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
No, it was. I mean, it means a lot these days.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Tiger's first Masters win, Tiger's last Masters win. Both of those where-were-you moments.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
That's his, and you can't take it from him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
A good MLS team against another good MLS team. I don't understand why he cared so much.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
He's a big dipper. That's my bad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
What game was on the Sylvania then?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Yeah, I do. Do you remember where you were when Dale died? Who?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
No, I understand. And there was a really funny moment around like minute 94 where you're screaming at your TV. What are you guys doing? Just hold the ball. There was like a three-man weave of Jordi Alba, Luis Suarez, and Leo Messi. It's three on one. And they are gassed. They got it. Nothing. And in 2015, that would have been a surefire goal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
There's an incredible toilet bowl hack that we can teach you with Fabuloso. Really? Yeah, yeah, you put it in the tank. You cut out a little hole near the top of the bottle.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
In 2025, it's just hilarious to watch when those guys are on fumes. But the effort was there all night. That is a massive undertaking. Yeah, they get lucky with a handball in the box that draws a pen. Messi takes a brilliant pen against Hugo Lloris.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Yeah, and keep in mind, Messi had contributed. He had scored on a free kick that they called back because he took it too quickly. And he had scored, he had assisted on a Luis Suarez header because Suarez was a bit offside. So he scored a wonderful goal, a goal that few people on the planet can still do right now with how he dribbled through traffic.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
This was what you wanted to see when Leo Messi came over to the United States, was him put an MLS team just on his back and decide, you know what? I'm that much better than everybody. I'm not going to let my team lose today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Many are saying it's right on top of that area. But this is a game that prior to yesterday. Greg, you were arguing that this might arguably be the biggest game in Inter-Miami's history.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
It's not one that was just microwaved like the Leeds Cup.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Oh, he was, dude. He was rightfully exhausted. They don't have the legs that they used to. And MLS will rightfully catch a lot of crap. But it is an athletic league. There are big, strong, fast dudes in this league that are faster than Messi.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
But I do agree with Greg that Messi is underregarded right now because, as you'll see in international competitions even next year at Dollars and Donuts, he's among the top players. Top 15 attacking players still on the planet right now. People are right to hold against him that he's doing this presently in MLS.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
That being said, when he goes away on international break and plays for his country, he is still the talisman for that. He is still every bit the Messi that we saw a year and a half ago.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
I haven't really seen a drop-off in his form when he's healthy. You could say that, well, he's less available, and that is an ability, but he was just dynamite last night. And the thing that really jumped off for a player that is often scrutinized about his effort level because of how he approaches the game, I would argue he's always been smart about conserving his energy. That was not the case.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
It was palpable. The desperation, and it's pretty cool because... It's not like we're, yeah, Stu Gatz will criticize him saying soccer is dead and there might be people that only pay attention on the media side to have a go at him for not winning this trophy. But the fact remains, he's won two trophies already in his two seasons down here in Miami.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Quietly also, and Moscow asked about this, there is ambiguity surrounding whether or not he's going to be back with a team next year. Jorge Mas is being asked these questions. His contract allows for that ambiguity right now. He's won two trophies. There's only two other trophies available to him. He's in the semifinal of one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
And I guess MLS, what'll happen is we'll just play whack-a-mole and the one trophy that's not left for him to win will be the one that we'll decide is the most important. But I will say, historically, for great MLS teams, the toughest trophy to win is the competition he was playing in last night.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Now he caught, I don't think it's a break because Vancouver's had a really difficult path in this competition, but he doesn't have to play Pumas, doesn't have to go to Mexico, but he will have to play a semifinal leg in Vancouver and then fly all the way back to get to the final, which will undoubtedly be against a Mexican team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
No, no, it's not. And for me, the most encouraging thing about this entire experiment is Busquets was suspended last night. He was living and dying. Suarez cared. Jordi Alba cared. Messi cares. Walking off the pitch, I saw Olivier Giroud for LAFC. I'm like, he played? I had no idea.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Oftentimes, this is a league where people just go to coast and retire, and Messi could have done that after winning the World Cup. It was the one thing that people were holding against him, and he did it on the grandest stage. He carried his team in an all-time game. He comes over here, he doesn't have to care that much.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
He's at the end of his career, and he freaking cares, and it was really cool to see.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
And it delivered on all the crazy CONCACAF Champions Cup antics. Fouls that would be red cards anywhere else on the planet were warnings, were yellows. He absolutely got pulverized. It was assault that happened on that pitch when he had a counterattack that would have been a surefire goal. This dude Marlon just absolutely flattened him. It led to a scuffle on the field.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
It was really compelling, dramatic stuff that maybe...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
night no you're gonna remember the night he went back to the train dude no Dallas remembers that that is an incredible point Chris I will 100% more vividly remember being in my house getting the Shams bomb on my phone being like babe you gotta see this not to undercut your list though go ahead

Mike, for sure, ball watcher. Hey, folks, it's Mike Ryan. And if you're watching our show, you probably know your boy has undergone a little bit of a body transformation.

Yeah. Lionel Messi. Doing great things. Coming back from a crazy aggregate deficit. They lost the first leg at LAFC 1-0. And then in the first 10 minutes of that game last night, they went down 1-0. Which not only put them behind on aggregate 2-0, but it gave LAFC something that Inter-Miami hadn't had. which was a road goal.

Wait a minute. And now he would be the biggest star there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

But I feel like we got that, like his interview with the Lakers the week after he was traded.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Okay. I'll see you next time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Where'd my dad go? I just realized that. He got kicked out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Let's try to hold the mic for him, guys, so that he can just be in his element trying to get water.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Oat Creamer and Strawberry Lemongrass Water
Yeah, he's the worst. All right, Dad, if you can hear us right now, start getting water. Show us your process to get water at the studio.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Oat Creamer and Strawberry Lemongrass Water
All right, so look around. Now, if you were by yourself. I'm completely right. If you had to get water now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Oat Creamer and Strawberry Lemongrass Water
Just simply take off your headphones. No, no, no. I turned it off. All right, cool. He should not be able to hear me now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Oat Creamer and Strawberry Lemongrass Water
Can I turn it back on so he can hear us? Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Oat Creamer and Strawberry Lemongrass Water
Hold on. He's like, what is this contraption?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Oat Creamer and Strawberry Lemongrass Water
Turn his earphones on. He can hear us again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Oat Creamer and Strawberry Lemongrass Water
He pushed it once.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

If you turn off the lemongrass, what do you think you get?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Oat Creamer and Strawberry Lemongrass Water
You heard his voice was distant for a second. Pretty sure he held his cup up to his mouth. He definitely did that.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Even when there isn't foul play, There's weird things surrounding this guy's life. IG influencer injuring herself while they're doing football drills.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
Yeah, a house catching on fire and getting pulled over and handcuffed before a game. There's just an undeniably weird, strange pattern of behavior. And that's the stuff that isn't technically breaking the law.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
And he's one of the few guys that have been subject to... I don't even know if Greg wrote the go-get-em column for Tyreek Hill. But Greg is a longtime columnist that has covered this team. You know how infrequently the big swing for the major NFL proven superstar... never really connects for the Miami Dolphins. It never fails in this market, rallied around them after that electric first season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
And they were convinced of all the NFL films, whitewashing of this is a changed man and all that because they were really excited to have someone like that. They had never really had someone like that outside of Ricky Williams. Tyree Kills, one of the very few superstars that came over here and somehow got better.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
There's so many that we forgot. Yeah, that's true.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
I don't know. It's kind of weird. I mean, is he just going to be watching the show like Nico did the entire Lakers game last night?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
I mean, the optics might be problematic anyways. Because it may appear like we're making light of the situation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
Yeah, I'm just hoping Greg talks for a little bit so I can feed you lines in your ear.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
It's impossible to hide that, Lewis. It's all right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Yeah, we were smart to not post the Tyreek Hill one all that much.

Yeah, but at least you're not the dude picking your wedgie.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
Yeah, that was a contact at Red Bull. But it's not Tosh. Wow, what a time capsule of a photo. What a time. Where's Stugat's? Do you think he planned to just sit out the Tyreek Hill segment? Did you tell him where you were starting and that's why he left?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
Which loaner courtesy vehicle did he pull up in today? I'll go outside and see if I see a decal somewhere that says. How would we have more information on this than you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
He also did a thing where he messed up shaving, and so he had to shave the entirety of his face. Not a good look. I fell for him.

Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
Whoa, really? Let me check it out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
Contextually, I think the shot that he made right before that, it was like, oh, he's feeling it, he's heating up. And so he gets an uncontested pull-up three after forcing a turnover. You're like, okay, it's kind of like the Jimmy Butler situation with a much worse player pulling up in a three in Chicago. I could have been...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
Waking up from a coma three years ago and been informed that the Miami Heat have a huge regular season game that determines play-in seeding against the Chicago Bulls at this exact moment in time, for three consecutive years I could have repeated that process and nothing would have changed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
Even when you include the times where the perception is he was wrong, even when we've kind of deduced, no, he was wronged in this instance. There is still a pattern of behavior that you can't ignore. Constantly being found in bad situations, even when he's innocent. Things like his house catching on fire, while he's a victim there, you wonder, what is going on in this life?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
What does this person's life look like? And it's been the case before you acquired him. And it's been ever present while he was here, while he was being voted by his peers to be the top player in the league. It is curious, though, that the flames seem to get higher the second that arrow starts pointing down. And I'm just saying that. Agreed. And I'm guilty of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
As someone that's riding sidecar here on this dolphin thing.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
I'm just trying to speak for parts of the audience, though. I made the decision that I made with Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns. I have plenty of friends that were Browns fans that...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
continue to tough it out i don't judge them at all i don't judge anybody that has a tyreek hill jersey i really don't i know it's complicated in all facets of life in art and in sports you're gonna be faced with these conundrums and you're gonna be hypocritical with with a lot of them we weren't
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
Not every generation has been faced with these kinds of moral conundrums as pendulums in society swing. It's a complicated thing. I don't really fault anybody for it. I would say that we could have deduced from allegations, convictions,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
deals that were made suspensions reporting that's been done even before he entered the league while he was still in college we could deduce this guy ain't great he's not a good guy he's certainly a good football player he's an elite football player but that's something that every dolphin fan or football fan has to deal with on their own i think
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
Societal sensitivities have also shifted too. Sure, but I'm sure there was a lot of bad guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
No, no, no, I understand that. And our knowledge of it has been totally, to Tony's point with social media, has been way amplified. There were guys that I was rooting for on the cover of Sports Illustrated that had that stuff surrounding them that I just flatly didn't know had that kind of stuff surrounding them because of the nature. We didn't have the same kind of access.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Wokeatard, You B***h
So I do think that our generation is faced with a particularly unique challenge with how transparent and visible these things are.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Recidivism. It's a tough one. That's a tough one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mina Kimes and Greg’s Eyebrows
It's honestly something that college game day should monitor. Because what people love so much about college football is this tribalism, this fun that's associated with it. And it's veering off into Surlytown where we're not having as much fun and we're just complaining about fans the entire time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mina Kimes and Greg’s Eyebrows
And we're saying that the games are bad, even though we're the ones that air the games and hype the games up and have hour-long specials telling you, hey, these might be the games in a couple of months. So it's something that everybody should monitor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mina Kimes and Greg’s Eyebrows
Yeah. I mean, I get you. And social media is, look, it's toxic. And it seems as though the algo is just going to make it more and more toxic. But I'm not really... I'm at the level of disinterested where I didn't really start filing my complaints on social media about baseball.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mina Kimes and Greg’s Eyebrows
If I'm asked about it on this show, I'll tell you my stale take on that, even though I credit them for making the changes that I was asking for. Basketball, I'll catch up. If my team's good, that has a lot to do with it. I'll follow back up with basketball if the Heat ever become good again or they fix the things because I have no interest in watching these top-level games.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mina Kimes and Greg’s Eyebrows
I haven't thought about that name since like the first 15 minutes of reaction in the morning when we found out about the story and we all moved on. I think the silence on that front either indicates a lack of interest from people wanting to find out or probably an admission where, you know, I don't need to get my set. Let me just hope this goes away.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mina Kimes and Greg’s Eyebrows
Wait, wait, I have a question about the Lamar Jackson thing, okay? Oh, okay. Lamar's got plenty of MVPs. He may now have more MVPs in playoff wins. But that Ravens team offensively is loaded. Loaded with first-round talent. In the offseason, they add Derrick Henry, who's a unicorn of a talent. All Buffalo did their entire offseason was strip talent away from Josh Allen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mina Kimes and Greg’s Eyebrows
And in the big moments, they won because of the plays that he made. As a treat, they gave him an Amari Cooper at the trade deadline. For me, it's Josh Allen. Maybe it might be Jordan rules, Jordan MVP fatigue, but you got to give it to Josh.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mina Kimes and Greg’s Eyebrows
No. Like, do I have to sit through a commercial? I don't want to do that. I'm not that interested. Like, this guy's made a lot of money in his career. Even though he played well, like, it's pretty clear what happened there. Was playing a lot. Was upset that another guy was playing over him. Seems to be at the end of his career. And that's just how he goes out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mina Kimes and Greg’s Eyebrows
Antonio Brown, fascinating, because for a lot of different things, different person, well-known, the way that he did it, but also the notion that he still had plenty of good football left in front of him. People learned his name through this story, so I don't think people care.

Hey, howdy listener. Why don't you sit down here next to me? Let's have a fireside conversation in the winter. This is all theater of the mind anyways. The weather outside is a little chilly.

Mickey Arison is a friend of yours. And really where it gets tricky, and I think probably why he might be a little bit upset, is he realized he was embarrassed enough already. He had made the mistake. He meant to say, stay white hot. He said, stay white. He doesn't need to hear it from his friend on the radio.

It can absolutely let us down. Any of these games can let us down by being blowouts, just being terrible games. But, you know, we thought Texas-Arizona State was going to be a blowout, and we thought that was going to be a bad game. And I was glued to the TV the whole time. So, hey, maybe we get it. Maybe we don't.

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

That's what heaven is. I will sign up for that right now, and you can send me to the fiery depths of hell afterwards. But if you give me a 23-year role at a craps table where it's hot, that is a peak feeling. I have never felt better in my entire life than when I went on a heater at a craps table. Doing that for 23 years? Unreal.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
Yeah, it's not just you. There's articles that share your story because you revealed it on the air before on our show. And then it occasionally gets brought up and your name gets invoked as one of the ones.

Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
I feel like I'm getting sent Taylor's under there so Mike Ryan sent it in the group chat but what it was an article about who's written the article someone put in like Woody Page he put out a tweet sorry to all the frats out there that take a shot every time I screw up something to that effect and then I was just reminding people I'm like This is out there on the internet. I report, you decide.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
All right, but I'm the shit stirrer. Hold on. I didn't know he was going to go to air with it. I was just telling my friends, hey, did you know this? Was it an article? Yeah, yeah. I linked the articles.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...

Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
And also, just projecting, DK's not going to have the longevity that Tyler Lockett had. Big-bodied wide receivers, they come crashing to the ground carrying their own weight. The way that Roy Williams just went from one day to the next. Like, big-bodied receivers, this happens.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
That sounds like... This is a time for, like, a victory lap.

Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
Which one of the three of you did this?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
All I'm doing is trying to change individuals' opinion of Woody Page, not the masses. Dan knew it would get to racism. And it's going to get picked up on way more than it did before at a time that it's really unfair to Woody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
No, absolutely not. He did that shit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

It's more meta than just trying to get Parasite or Onora to win Best Picture. It's an investment on trying to become what Miramax was, what A24 is, certainly more than die Neon gerade ist, eine Tastemaking-Studio. Wenn ich A24 auf der Titelkarte sehe, bin ich eingeladen.

Das waren Tentpoles, die die Box-Office-Industrie gehalten haben, die Leute in Studios gehalten haben. Und als die Qualität von denen diminuiert wurde, sagten die Leute, was sollen wir tun?

He's a former center. You're saying DK Metcalf is their number one receiver. DK barely edged him in 2022 and 2023. Barely edging.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Show With The Regional Legend
Tyler is the second most prolific receiver in franchise history. He's second to Steve Largen in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns. That's the only person he's behind.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

His reputation is greater than Tyler's.

I talk to you about Miller Time all the time, but we're in the wintertime right now, and one of my favorite pastimes is to crack open a Miller Lite and enjoy myself some Miller Time during the wintertime because when there's a brisk chill in the air, it just makes everything right.

My friends and I who live down here in South Florida can actually sit outside because it's not super muggy. We can thoroughly enjoy our Miller Time together. And for you listening, I know there's a lot of things going on right now. Sports news. Chief among them. Nothing more important than sports.

Stugatz. How am I irrational?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I would say he's Brown's legend status.

Yeah, he's a luminary for the Browns, no doubt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Yeah, they did that. This was an unreal heat check. Unreal heat check from Mark Lake. Shake. I can't defend this kind of behavior. I won't.

The Big Suey: The Show With The Regional Legend
There's Cheez Whiz, slices of steak, bread in it. They just smashed a cheesesteak into a vanilla ice cream shake. And as someone that had the chicken wing shake, that wasn't bad. It had a piece of chicken. It had buffalo sauce in it and celery. That actually worked. There's no way this works.

There are loyalists that will try every specialty shake.

No, you were really good for the Browns. Thank you. You were. He is a luminary. And also, he stuck around the franchise. He had an opportunity to go to New England. He's like, no, I like the bad shit.

I'm going to start a podcast with Joe Thomas because I like the bad shit.

I think my surprise there is Mac, if they're looking at their pass rushers and they're looking at aging, diminishing products, I know Mac had a good year last year. It was a good bounce back year for Khalil Mac, but he's older.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

That was a huge injury for a pass rusher.

Devon Best is a luminary.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Honestly, the reason why Devon Best was on my mind is I'm pretty sure Bobby's fighting him. Because the teaser that I saw on the placard that went up on the main feed, it looks like your dad is fighting Devon.

Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
To the original point that Pat Riley feels like he is under it and has to defend himself against this ice cream story.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
thinks that the Miami media is unfair to the Heat? He thinks the media is filled with inaccuracies, things that aren't true. Wait, he thinks that he's... Finally. Wait, Mickey Harrison thinks that the local media that covers the Miami Heat is too inaccurate and too harsh?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
Yeah, I remember a very public instance where Mickey got involved and said that the media had it wrong. It was with Shams. When Shams said Jimmy Butler wanted out, who was wrong there? Shams, the media, or Mickey and the Miami Heat? So I'm trying to I'm trying I want to follow the inaccuracies of the unfair media to the Miami Heat. If it's not on the local level, it's on the national level.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
Well, that was one big national media story that he got directly involved with. And factually, he was wrong. He went at the guy with the most journalistic integrity and the best accuracy record amongst the insiders. And he was wrong. That wasn't unfair. Shams was right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
Thoughts and prayers for Tyler Hero. He had a vicious head cold. Wow, that's scary.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
He's got AIDS. You guys got it. No, that's not what I'm doing. Okay. That's not what I'm doing. It sounded genuine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
No, we're talking about... No, I'm talking about Mickey. Mickey? Because when Sean started reporting, Mickey and the Miami Heat and Pat Riley put out a press release. They were very aggressive in that this is not true. Right. Even Bernie Lee got involved. You know, playing both sides.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
Dan is right to point out their rotation is bad because they're bad. But their rotation is bad because they're holding out Tyler Hero for head colds because it's pretty obvious what's happening here over the last two games is – I think the Miami Heat and its culture are trying to tank.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
Don't tell me what I am. There's still holes. The one public gripe that I know that Mickey took exception to about the media and its coverage being lies ended up being true. Jimmy Butler did want out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
He was upset about the show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
No, he's got a Twitter account. He's spoken for himself on this front, and it ended up being wrong. Now, he may turn around and argue, well, at the time, I was right, but you went at the guy that once reported Trump had COVID before anybody else.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
As I understand it, even when they were cooking, That was the case.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
You're reminding me of something where I think Mickey Arison has a point. Because after the trade, was it in the athletic? The very pro-Jimmy Butler kind of spin, POV, on what went wrong in Miami that I thought was very unfair, invoking his father, having known behind the scenes exactly where the Miami Heat organization met Jimmy on those things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
I think that's right for Mickey to have a gripe with how that was presented.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
What if it's a convenient thing to hang on to for Jimmy Butler's camp? Because the Miami Heat were very considerate of Jimmy when he was going through that and well after. This is something that is dragged on and was once again invoked when this thing happened a while ago.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
If I may, this may be a crude view on it, but the things that we're focusing on right now as a result of that piece that was very slanted in the direction of Jimmy Butler, that's what you brought on by putting your backups against the wall and saying, this is not true. We're going to keep Jimmy Butler.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
All of this mess is what you brought on yourself by not capitulating on the Jimmy Butler thing when you probably should have a year ago, or over the summer when he was saying purple and gold looks good, or when the Shams report came out. At every turn, Miami was stubborn and said no, and at every turn they made the wrong move.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
I think we're overanalyzing. Sorry, I mean, what we're talking about right now is the Joker, Jimmy, walking away from the hospital that's blowing up behind him. He makes a mess when he wants to get his way out. He got his way, and Miami is still dealing with the mess.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
No, but if they also, when they made the decision that they weren't going to pay Jimmy. If they had moved him? If they had moved him there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
Jimmy's father died.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
That's a great point. I'm just trying to get a clearer idea of the gambit. In the history of South Florida sports, three people showed you what greatness was? In sports. Let me see the insides of it. Okay, because of your relationships there. That's right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
I know the way that I want it to end is someone that's been critical of their approach over the last couple of years, even coming off of the NBA finals, which feels like a crazy outlier. It ends however Pat wants it to end. He made this franchise relevant. He's won three titles. This is probably, this isn't that bad. They're still in the mix for a possible playoff spot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
And I would say in terms of like a vibe check, this is probably the worst it's ever been. And that includes the year that they were tanking for Beasley or Derrick Rose. It's really bad right now, but he deserves all the time that he wants to get it right. And if he decides that he wants to bow out gracefully, he's entitled to that, too. There is no one here on this show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
And I don't even think it's a real good faith argument on the Internet. You may find like an egg or two on social media. But I think South Florida is pretty much a consensus opinion that Pat Riley gets to write the end of his story however he sees fit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
Just because Jeremy was so quick to correct me that they won their last game. Yes, they beat the 12-win Wizards. Yes, they did. Congratulations to them. My apologies.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
They took the lessons from it. They had to change the dynamic of their team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I know we're microwaving some of the discussions that we've had since then, but it's been a while.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
That's another name that could have been invoked around Miami. I think this is just the longest stretch of time. And since they acquired Jimmy Butler, which was majestic. They acquired Jimmy Butler with no room and no real assets, and it was an amazing coup in getting Jimmy Butler. Ever since that acquisition, the blueprint has always counted on getting someone better than Jimmy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
They just admitted last night's game into evidence. I was going to say that.

Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
Is he under it? This is not like Matt Eberflus in Chicago. This is a very charmed existence that Pat Riley's had as this has been predictable in that it was predicted on this show. This is the wrong course of action. You got it exactly right. Yeah, but a lot of people did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
You were wrong. You sounded like a moron for two years. That's crazy. You sounded like an idiot. It was impossible to be wrong. We're here. You don't still push back. This is unbelievable. You're Terry Rozier right now, jacking up threes from half court.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
You haven't watched a game in the two and a half years since the prediction started. See what I mean? Matt Iberflues didn't have a Jeremy Taché. Iberflues never had a Jeremy Taché.

Local Hour: So... What Ever Happened With That Jimmy Butler Situation?
No, the defense rests. can get word in edgewise. So why would I even argue? Why would I even argue? Yes, I would maintain that I know more about the Miami Heat than someone that actually watches them every day because I've been right every step of the way.

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo. I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Hey, happy Thursday. Day nine, as they say, Jeremy. Yeah, everyone loves day nine. So if you thought the tension from yesterday's show that you listened to. I'm shitting myself right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
10 Days of Gregmas: Day 9
If you thought the tension after the Panthers were up 3-1 going into game five was bad. Here on day nine of the 10 days of Gregmas, you have a Florida Panthers team on a Friday. So this will be a slightly shorter show to listen to. Shorter show is somewhat difficult to say. Show. There are only two hours today, but don't worry, you're getting a full Friday offering tomorrow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
10 Days of Gregmas: Day 9
But this was a day we welcomed in Jonathan Zaslow. Your boy. A diehard Panthers fan. And Dan and Greg were our co-hosts that day. And the most important note is that this day had... What I would say was the biggest argument of the year. This was, I think, if I remember correctly, I don't want to ruin it, Mike Ryan going at my dad for basically blaming him at this point. Is it 3-3 at this point?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
10 Days of Gregmas: Day 9
So what it was is it was 3-2 headed into Game 6. Game 7 was to be on Monday night of the following week if it got there. And this is crazy because it was like Dan and Mike fought first. And then it was like Greg and Zaslow. And then Greg and Mike fought. And it got legitimately heated to the point where I really genuinely did want to leave the room.

Or the phone. I'm going to not prepare the speech, and then about 40 minutes before I speak, it just comes to me. Good. That's how I am. That's obnoxious. No, it's not. It's when I do my best work against the clock. I get some funny in there. I find the energy of the place. Make sure this is relatable. Get the people going a little bit.

Okay, good. All right. To compete with Tyron. Maybe Carson Wentz. We'll see how this week goes. We'll see his agenda. By the way. Carson Wentz wins this game. He's a Jet next year. Call it now. No doubt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
And Ohio State-Oregon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
Listen, the 12 teams is fine. I get what you're trying to do. The problem is... you got to see them right way. Just see them one to 12. You don't, you do not need to see them where the conference champion is the ones getting the buy, because then we'd, we'd have the right teams getting the buy and the right teams played last week. We might've had some good games last week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
We might've had, we might've had Boise state, Arizona state. I might've enjoyed that. That might've been okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
Listen, if you want to get the conference champions in because of whatever, that's fine. But you don't have to give them a bye. You do not have to do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
I think Billy should be the Joe Lenardi of college football because I hear him talking about bubble teams in college football. Billy Brackets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
We've been talking about a commissioner of college football forever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
I don't know why I wrote down Billy Brackets. Alabama would never miss a playoff again. Oh, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
Who watched on the field?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
Broke a record, took himself out. Good for him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
They beat Boise State. They might be Arizona State, too. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
I was just going to say, I would do the same thing with the Bengals after this week. Whoever loses the first round of the NFL playoffs, I'd take the Bengals over them in a neutral site.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
If the Ravens win at 4 o'clock, the Steelers have nothing to play for.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
What does that do for you? What does the fifth seed versus the sixth seed do for you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
That's what it does for you. It brings you to Houston week one of the playoffs. Mike Tomlin does not care who is across.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
He would want Texas.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
The Steelers are going to have stuff to play for. Nobody wants the Bengals.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
Somebody gets you. I mean, it should be your Cardinals hat or a Bears hat or a Chiefs hat. But, I mean, I guess.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
No, there is going to be a 14-win team as a wild card. That's happening.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
That's because they didn't have a Keenan Allen to tell everybody, we're not playing for the coach. That's right. That's why. They had it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
Trade him to the Jets because I would take him in a second.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
And Tyron. Don't forget Tyron.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
I think you have to pay him. I think you have to pay him because you don't have another option.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
Who's the answer if not him? I am worried about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
Because somebody has to go. Somebody has to go if you pay your quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
I wrote him down because I bet him. As you said him, I wrote him down so I could bet. Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
You're telling me that's not a game the Jets win because they shouldn't and the Dolphins lose because they shouldn't? He doesn't know the Jets like you. I mean, this feels like every bit a Jets win for no reason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
If the NFL season, all right, circle of trust, the AFC is probably not going to change much. So we'll do them first. If the season ended today, the Denver Broncos are headed to the Buffalo Bills.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
If the season ended today, this is where it gets a little shaky. The Chargers would go to the Ravens. Or Bobble again. Wow. Horrible. Horrible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
Yeah. They're brothers. They should have each other's number. If the season ended today. That was the joke. It was a good one. The Steelers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
All right. All right. The Steelers go to the Texans.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
They re-seed in the NFL.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
In your scenario.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
They would get the Steelers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
All right. In the NFC, if the season ended today, the Green Bay Packers, the 11-5 Green Bay Packers, would be facing the 13-3 Philadelphia Eagles.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
Neither is Kenny Pickett.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
Because he's good now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
He will be again. So Eagles, Packers?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
Are you ready?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
All right. If the season ended today, mind you, this one is very much up in the air. Very much up in the air. This is the biggest one up in the air. But if the season ended today, the 13-2 Detroit Lions would be traveling to the 9-7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
Circle of trust? Give me the Bucs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
Circle of trust in that game. Give me the bucks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
Golf on grass, home baker. Give me the Bucs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
Circle of trust.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
His agenda was, I'm going to start next year for this team. I have a game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
They're going to hold an auction for the highest bidder. By the way, number two for my agenda, Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans. Baker Mayfield threw five touchdowns. And I think most of them were inside the five, even though Bucky Irving ran for 120 yards. They're like, Nope, we're going to throw this to Mike Evans because he might not get his thousand yards, but he's going to get more touchdowns.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
I mean, yeah, but I mean, it was first and goal inside the three and they're like, no, but I'm saying Billy's talking about guys who don't,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
Tyron, I'm making a case. Tyron, I'm making a case.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
one of those two teams is going to have to go on the road the following week. Crazy. Think about how crazy that is. One of those two teams is going to have to either go to probably Atlanta or Tampa on the road next week, despite having 14 wins. By the way, how do you feel for Sam Darnold?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
I'm sure you saw him walking into the locker room and then lifting him on his shoulders and dousing him with water. And all I could think was, For Zach bleeping Wilson.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Circle of Trust and Agendas
I want to ask Shirley Schefter what she thinks that JJ McCarthy could fetch in a trade at this point. Okay. I'll book her this week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

A Carson Wentz agenda could ruin a lot of seasons.

The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
They're all bad teams. The good teams don't get away with this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
Here's the list of teams, Dan. The list of teams that did not score more than 30 points in a game. The New York Giants, the Las Vegas Raiders, the New England Patriots, the New York Jets, and the Kansas City Chiefs. One of these things is not like the other.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
I just hope that they're thinking about it as much as we are. Yeah. If the bold chase, and I don't think it's not exactly not bold of them to decide, let's keep this unit together. I actually think that's kind of brave because four years in that sport is a very long time. Four years being told you're not good enough by the same team, losing pretty much the same way in the postseason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
I mean, that would wear on you. And I just hope that it's not just assumed, yeah, let's just run it back. Let's bring everybody back. We'll finally get these guys because you're already in uncharted territory in terms of not being able to get those guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
Wow, that's a great idea. That is a phenomenal idea. That is such a good idea by you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
The point is profound because he has a cock.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Yeah, you can say things like fastest growing show where you can play with the math a little bit. But to call yourself America's new favorite show, you need to back that claim up.

WWE as well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
Imagine that. There were Cachanels left and right doing the same thing over and over again, and they weren't getting the results, and they had to do something different.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
And the other one is a hot take.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
It's just two separate conversations. You don't need to put them together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
Let me rummage under my desk. Hang on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
We have a question for you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
I'm not bringing it up. You're the first guy to the plausible take. Like, should they look at the head coach thing? And you're muddying the waters with this Belichick thing. Like, you have to. You have the good take.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
I'm never really impressed with him. His decision-making in some of these games has been hot and cold. I don't know, dude. Like I said, I hope they're having the conversation. And I hope it's not just like, yeah, we're going to run it back, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
Running it back, right, looking to a room full of people that have experienced the first type of successive failure in NFL history, that seems insane to me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
I think I know the answer to this, but when there is an important play that needs to be called for the Buffalo Bills. Most times, it's Josh do something, and the ball stays in Josh's hands. We know with Patrick Mahomes, even at this age, his go-to guy is Travis Kelsey. Now, I think possibly the go-to guy for Josh Allen right now is Khalil Shakir, but Patrick Mahomes' guy is an all-timer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
I feel like, yeah, no bad ideas. Tyreek Hill, T. Higgins, who's available? Who's unavailable? Let's get crazy. Let's throw everything for Justin Jefferson. Something crazy, something good, something game-changing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
I understand mentioning Tyreek Hill as a possible solution is inflammatory, and you've done well to seize on that. But I'm saying we're close. We're right there. It's something that that franchise has famously dealt with its entire history and what it's known for. And I would say they need to have a conversation, ownership on down, buck stops here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

the limit is endless it's no it's easy to say we're right there because buffalo's not alone in saying we're right there hell a team that missed the playoffs in cincinnati can argue and they've actually had success in the postseason against kansas city and baltimore we're right there baltimore we're right there you got to keep those guys away because the gulf between those teams is shrinking and you have to chase down the greatest of all time potentially

Yeah, that's why I'm a little confused by it because you always speak to the gladiator spectacle of football and the gridiron. You're, you know, a cyclone of menace and horror. You're so good with words and there is nothing more true. about that than a short yardage situation where it's will against will, mano a mano.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
On Championship Sunday, every single short yardage situation was captivating. Because these... believed that the team could actually stop it. In the regular season, bodies don't find the willpower on the opposite side to put up a fight.

Now, Washington was doing very creative things, trying to time the snap down, and it was very clearly getting to Philadelphia, so much so that they switched up the cadence, which led to hilarity, basically a 15-minute down.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
We'll fix that part.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Yeah, I do think so.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
I'm sick for him because, like I said, he'd be Mahomes. It's not a championship. It's not a Super Bowl appearance. And it's kind of like Dan Marino in that everyone realizes this guy's the frigging man. He's awesome. He's not the problem. It's everything else. And everything else is largely somebody else. One individual that is just a little bit better at it. Just a little bit more clutch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
Even though he's been pretty damn clutch and he's made the throws, his surrounding cast hasn't been as clutch.

the mcdermott thing like like it is something that you have to consider no we've seen sports teams realize pretty emphatically like we're just not good enough what are we gonna do to drastically change this situation all buffalo did in its off season to drastically change its situation was get rid of offensive talent like there are recent examples grady little being you know
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
not brought back Paul Maurice being in a Matthew Kachuk trade for the Florida Panthers because they realize in a small window like we're never going to get past those guys unless we do something drastic Buffalo is at that point where they have to do something drastic are they Because they keep doing the same thing. What is the very definition of insanity?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
Yes, but I would say that... Losing four times in a row to one quarterback is drastic. We've never seen it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
I just don't understand where the Bills go when they have their postseason meeting and they all get together and their board of directors try to figure out, all right, what went wrong? The same thing went wrong again. Run it back? Like, extend our record of being the only team to lose to this team this many times consecutively and just hope that the math will work out for us in the postseason?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
At a certain point, you have to try to take control of your own destiny and do something about it. So at least you can lay your head down at night and say, well, I tried something new this time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
Yeah. Certainly. That would help. I would. Maybe let's put some shoes on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
The answer was do more. Do something different. Change it up. Don't have the talent overall go down in one offseason when you're trying to chase this team like it did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
I also want to give credit to Kansas City as we just like try to wonder aloud. We always give them credit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
We just picked apart a true point that, you know, top corner was out injured. Let's not omit the times that Patrick Mahomes had a really bad ankle and he still found a way to not only beat them, but beat Philadelphia in a Super Bowl. Let's not forget the time that he got knocked out of a divisional round game against Cleveland and Chad Henney had to make the plays down the stretch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
They also got the benefit of a targeting penalty that didn't go against them. There should have been a touchdown that might have changed the result of that game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
You could, you could argue doing, doing nothing and just hoping that your, your luck changes is, is a move, is a calculated risk. But I would say that these are desperate times now for Buffalo. You look at the playing style of your quarterback. You look at all the comps. He's constantly compared to Cam Newton. A guy with that big of a frame that leans so much on his athleticism.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
Granted, he can throw the ball, but we're nearing the end of the window where we can count on that same sort of physical advantage for him. So if these are indeed desperate times, there's a cliche about that and what it calls for.

The average fan doesn't root for historical greatness. The average fan roots for their team. And if you're a fan of almost any team in the NFL, Patrick Mahomes has beaten you in the last decade and you're sick of it. You want him to lose. That's how it ends up with the Patriots. At first, I was like, this is annoying. This is annoying. And then the Steelers kept losing to them in the playoffs.

That's how you have to do it, Buffalo, around Josh Allen. And I know the contract's going to make it tough. It's made it tough for Patrick Mahomes, and he's found a way.

Billy, we did it on air.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
Here, Billy, I'll debate something you said earlier. I don't think Josh Allen just chucked it up. I think he knew there was a receiver down there. If you look at the replay, his eyes are downfield. He's trying to find an open guy. And the pass was pretty good, too. Kincaid was sort of awkwardly turning. It was low. You couldn't catch it, and I feel bad for him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
I don't think it was anything like the Mark Andrews play.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
Did you describe it as cyclones of menace and horror?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
And also his fourth and five. So if you throw up behind the line of scrimmage and he doesn't get the first down, the game's over anyway. So I get why he's looking downfield there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
I have a bold take. I'm the man standing up in a crowd meme. I'm super into this Super Bowl. The one that we saw recently was one of the best Super Bowls ever. The line is already telling you, keep an eye on it, by the way, that these two teams are very close. The Eagles are a totally different team since their early season struggles.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
They've found this new explosive run game where I think you're accurate. It is a bit of a hot take because it'll get like picked apart but Jalen Hurts is probably of all their skills as skill guys the least impressive the least good at his job it's an unbelievable matchup the guy who said just run was London Fletcher I mean that does give it more credibility right he's holding it too long

They are inevitable because they're not just always going to make the right plays. They're not just always going to, on both sides of the ball, do what they have to do to win the game.

This dude's a problem. He's just always fighting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
Yeah, I mean, Lattimore was at Ohio State and certainly in New Orleans. He was incredible. And now he's moved on and he's gotten kind of like bigger. And I don't know if he's just overcome. He was always physical, but now he's just really overcompensating because his body can't quite do the same things by just trying to be really powerful and mixing it up with big, strong guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
And like there was that that stretch where there's maybe like 35 seconds of game time where Philadelphia scored the 14 points when it was a one score game. And Lattimore is just totally out of the game in his own head. He's playing his own game with A.J. Brown.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
He just totally short-circuited. And he was brought in to be a soothing, veteran, calming presence there for that secondary. And the guy's just having a crisis of confidence within his own body. He's just overcompensating by just going crazy.

I know this is a weird market to do this in. I've noticed from my group chats that a lot of people don't feel bad for the Buffalo Bills because they're Dolphins fans. But I woke up like I haven't hurt for a team that I haven't had a connection to like this in quite some time because Josh Allen and this Bills team gets to be historic losers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
Sadly for that franchise, it's not the most known historic loser. But it's not like they choke in these games. It's not like you can pick apart his performance. He plays so well every time he goes up against Patrick Mahomes, and they still come up short.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
And we didn't obsess over this over the watch long because there's so many things going on and we're not here in the feed and I'm not monitoring social to know what a big deal it was. He got that first down.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
How does that happen? I mean, the angle from behind him made it seem obvious when he just needed to get to the pronounced line over there. But I think what stings the most, and you can see Josh Allen wearing it in his postgame, is it's not just a Super Bowl appearance for that market and his legacy. It's not even one potential championship.

And think about the last two eliminations in the postseason. Josh Allen made the play. Kincaid can't make the play. Diggs can't make the play for him. He makes the throws in the moment. And to even come up with that throw after what I can only describe as a satanic disguised pass rush from Spaggs. It was evil.

what we saw, and Josh Allen still found a way to get the ball off and find a receiver.

Ich bin so verwirrt, wofür ich in dieser Serie bin. Ich hatte meine Hatte wie Memphis Bleak, wenn die Knicks den Ball hatten. Aber dann wollte ich, dass sie schlagen. Ich war so ein Fan des Theaters gestern Abend. Und sie haben einen der größten Spektakels in der Geschichte des Basketballs gegeben.

Er hat den Layup, aber er zieht zurück, wie ein Badass. Und dann hat er den Schuss und du denkst dir, oh mein Gott, das ist ein Badass. Aber dann merkst du, dass sein Fuß auf der Linie war. Und du denkst dir, oh, ich möchte, dass er auch verarscht wird.

Damien went once. In terms of surrounding talent, he does have an argument. This isn't an uber-talented team around Tyrese Halliburton. Lillard never really had a super-talented team around him.

Das ist ein guter Punkt. Und er wäre total verletzt gewesen, wenn er nicht so weit zurückgegangen wäre. Und dann wäre er eine Punchline gewesen, für immer mehr. Es hat so viel gedauert. Sie mussten in der Übergangsphase Business handeln. Aber sie haben das Spiel schon ein paar Mal gezeigt, seit ihr den Ball genommen habt. Ihr wart nicht so sicher, ob er eine Lane zu einer Layup hat.

Ich bin ein bisschen mit euch zusammen. Ich sehe es. Es sah aus, als hätte Mitchell Robinson eine gute Position. Und während er einen Versuch auf dem Rimmel hatte, wäre es schwierig gewesen. So I think he made the right basketball move outside of, you know, not maybe being an inch further.

And they didn't call it, which they got lucky. That was crazy. What a putback though. If anybody is interested in a Topshot NFT. Oh, it's never been higher. You want a corner three for Obi Toppin. 20 bucks. I'll take it. Ben Moore right now is yours. I think of you every time he does something. My mentions still get flooded. Top Shot was a moment in time, I guess. I really registered it.

Und auch wenn er den Lay-Up nicht hatte, hatte er einen einfachen Runner in dieser Farbe. Wenn er Mitchell Robinson lesen würde und sich zurückziehen würde, dann würde Mitchell Robinson in die Kuppe gehen. Ich kann also verstehen, dass es in der Kompensation wäre. Ich mag Halliburtons Chancen als All-Star, aber es wäre so furchtbar, wenn er sagen würde, dass er für den Sieg gehen würde.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Biggest Choke Job In NBA History
I think the Bulls was probably a little bit more impressive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

But by that formula, by that very obvious formula that Amin has laid out for us, I think the Bulls over the Lakers was more impressive.

Und er hat gesagt, ich will das nicht tun, ich will gewinnen. Ja, ziemlich sicher. Und auch gestern Nacht wurde er Superstar. 100 Prozent.

All these guys are very good on offense. Their problem has been defensively, Carl Anthony Towns might be the worst defender in the NBA. They're drop-coveraging on everybody. Luka was like the worst defender. No, no. Statistically, if you look up some of the advanced stats on Karl-Anthony Towns, he is legitimately the worst defender in the NBA.

So when you have guys like Porzingis, when you have guys like Mobley, just in the East, that are going to give him trouble, it's like this Knicks team was supposed to be built to beat those teams. They're, what, 38-19, 38-20, whatever they are right now, and they are not even close.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Count Orlok's D*** At 7:45 In The Morning

But when you look at some of the stuff that Gobert was taking off the plate of Carl Anthony Towns, he was able to kind of make him into a three where he didn't have to really worry about playing defense. Now, if you're the anchor of a defense like... Hartenstein was a couple of years ago where you let him walk and then you're waiting on Mitchell Robinson. I love that you said it that way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Count Orlok's D*** At 7:45 In The Morning
I know. I love that you did. Thank you. So you're hoping that Mitchell Robinson, who hasn't played in two seasons, is the lifeline that's going to save the defense that Tom Thibodeau puts his hat on.

I think that's the part that you're hoping Draymond can somehow recapture a little bit of his old Draymond ways because you've got Steph who now can kind of take a step back, let Jimmy take some of the offensive load off of him. The problem is they're a really small team.

Dan, the Knicks are officially cooked. Confirmed. Thank you. Here's the thing, right? They're 0-7 against the top teams between OKC and the two teams in the East, being Boston and Cleveland. They got spanked by Boston, got spanked by Cleveland. The issue is this. They have an elite offense between Jalen Brunson, between Carl Anthony Towns, who's been playing amazing, Bridges, Hart.

Well, what I don't like is the same thing that happened with the Chris of all stuff, which is, you know, the main national writers like the Pete Thambles of the world. Even you can lump in a Gary Furman of the world. We confirm this on multiple fronts, multiple fronts. And they just go to the athletic department and say, hey, is this true?

And you'll get an answer which is like, yeah, kind of, but the timing's not right. It's not official yet. And they'll just run with that as opposed to, as first reported by Cain's Insight. Because now we're 48 hours into this thing. Nobody's denied this. This is the case. The reporting is sound. This hasn't been confirmed yet.

Don't want to hurt the program. Don't want to hurt Jay Lucas, who's got his life. You want to avoid what happened with John Shire press conference, which is facetiously or what have you, saying, well, this is the first that I'm hearing about it. There are sensitivities here that you understand, which is why you make sure you have all your loose ends tied up before you run with a storyline.

Anyone with a herald would. Different standards. Right. And we wear the biases on our sleeve, and you can say that's not traditional media, traditional journalism, and you would be absolutely right. Don't necessarily pretend to. When we do venture out with a report, I like to think you take our credibility into account and you can parse through that stuff. But it does require more of the consumer.

Without sanctions, it's hard to find a comp.

You've got to have X's and O's. Look, Laraniga succeeded at the very beginning of the NIL era. We brought in a lot of talent via transfer portal, and he had a lot of success with X's and O's. Look, he did it with an all-Big 12 point guard in Nigel Pack, but he also did it with a guy in Charlie Moore who is just a national journeyman. I do think X's and O's matter. It's a delicate balance.

Fall all on the prowl. Jim March, my mentor. If there's more than one secondary beat writer, can you consider yourself a secondary beat writer? He's my major mentor. Is he a tertiary beat writer? If there's more than one, you can't be... Secondary mentor? There can't be four secondary beat writers.

No doubt. Is Steve Young a backup quarterback, or was that always the plan?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
Yeah. It felt like they acquired Steve Young, who got off to a rocky start in Tampa Bay, to one day be the guy. So to call him one of the great backups, this is a guy that was drafted high. I wouldn't do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
You can't call him a backup. No, you can't. If you're acquiring a guy to one day replace a guy, that's not really backup. We're talking like Scott Tolzien's.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
Therefore, you cannot be one of the great backups. That's not your story.

I'll tell you one person that won't be reporting it. Howdy, folks. It's Mike Ryan. I talk to you about Miller Time all the time, but we're in the wintertime right now, and one of my favorite pastimes is to crack open a Miller Lite and enjoy myself some Miller Time during the wintertime because when there's a brisk chill in the air, it just makes everything right.

My friends and I who live down here in South Florida can actually sit outside because it's not super muggy. We can thoroughly enjoy our Miller Time together. And for you listening, I know there's a lot of things going on right now. Sports news. Chief among them. Nothing more important than sports.

Yeah, I mean, you could look at the outside and say he might be. He's got his own content venture. He's never really broken stuff.

It's dicey, though, in today's day and age of aggregation where your name won't go on a tile half the time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
I do. I do. I like to correct people when they say I'm a journalist. No, I'm a media member. It's different. I don't necessarily have to adhere to the same type of rules because I'm a booster and I wear that conflict on my sleeve proudly. I will say, though, while I had something to do with the overall reporting of this story. This was reported by Peter Arias from Canes Insight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
He was on this beat for several weeks saying that it was trending towards hiring Jay Lucas from Duke. When it came to the actual reporting of this, Canes Insight followed every single journalistic protocol, went over and above because there's sensitivities here with this specific hiring. Look, Duke and Miami still play this season. We're not to the ACC tournament yet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
It's not often that you see this type of announcement when the other coaches are on a staff that actually has title aspirations. So there's some sensitivities here. And we were well aware of that. It became apparently clear that this story was going to get reported. We had already sat on it for quite some time. This was non-invasive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
We made sure that all the parties knew that this story was coming out when it was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
Well, okay. We're here now. What I didn't appreciate was Gary Furman saying that my company's reporting wasn't true when it 100% is. And look, we've had 48 hours now for all the parties involved to deny that this is actually the case. It's not. Jay Lucas is going to be the next head coach. Gary Furman continues to push on Kane Sport that this story is not true, no offer is out there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
But if you actually click the story, he even admits that he's doing the current athletic department a favor by not reporting this. So, like, the headline is... click-baity, and it's going at someone's credibility. When I actually put the journalism hat on, I'm not wrong. I'm very credible. You mentioned Messi. We broke the Mario Crispo story over here. I say we. I did that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
But my credibility, you don't call that into question. It's fine if you don't have the scoop, but to come out and say that it's untrue when I know how sound this is and I know what my resume suggests... I wasn't a fan of that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
That was quite the hesitation. That silence lasted 20 minutes for me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
That wasn't the report, that this hiring is official. The report was Miami has selected its next head coach of the men's basketball program. It's going to be Jay Lucas.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
Look, it was clear we had a very clear jump on this story. We had better information than anybody else. We often have better information than everybody else. And do we go into news-breaking mode all the time? No. Our approach is let's... really build our company on how plugged in we are. Sometimes it's not totally advantageous for us to be breaking news because we maintain our relationships.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
This became pretty evident to us, and I understand where Dane Redikovic is coming from because it's a little complicated if this gets out. It was going to come out. So, do you want some slapdick to report it? Or... Do you want to actually let the people that have known this story for 48 hours come out, non-invasively, make sure everybody's all right and go out there and do it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
And that's what we decided for the better of our company. And we did everything right from a journalism standpoint.

So, you're just telling us like this is your favorite gift that you've bought someone that you shouldn't say that you bought someone because they haven't received it yet, but they're never going to see this clip.

Okay, nein, das ist nicht das.

Schau dir das an. Es sieht aus wie der Grinch. Ist das nicht cool? Ja, das ist, warum es den Grinch-Donut nennt. Ja, das war es. Das war das Produkt des Tages. Das ist es. Das ist ein großer Donut.

Ja, ich bin mir sicher, dass es wird. Ich weiß, dass ich dich gesendet habe. Can I share something with you? So, we did an Office White Elephant last week and the gift that Stugatz contributed to the Office White Elephant was a wrapped book. Not that one. There is that one that he autographed. I'm just promoting it, Billy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Well, this is going to go out. There was two things that he had wrapped. One was his book that said, to my coworker, Er liebt Stugatz oder so etwas, das er personalisiert, was sehr schön ist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Nein, nur zu meinem Co-Arbeiter. Und der andere war ein Buch über Pete Rose. Ich glaube, es hieß Charlie Hustle oder so etwas, das ein Publisher zu ihm sendet, der auf der Innenseite eine Nachricht hatte, die sagte, Stugatz, ich hoffe, du genießt den Buch. Und es wurde von dem Autor aufgeschrieben. Das waren seine Beiträge zu White Elephant dieses Jahr. Ja, das war es. Es ist ein großes Geschenk.

GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Ja, sende nur den Link. Du kannst dir ein bisschen Hintergrund geben, was wir tun. Du kannst ihnen einen Hinweis geben. Ich habe Menschen einen Hinweis gegeben, was los ist. I sent one out to Taylor.

Du, es schießt dich in die Zahlen. Es schießt dich aus deinen Händen. Fäng den Ball an. Fäng den Ball an. Ja, du brauchst Rissschutz. Lass mich euch eine Frage stellen. Und ich repositioniere mich für diese Frage.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Lass mich euch eine Frage stellen. Ja. Wenn es dir empfiehlt, dass du Rissschutz brauchst, And you opt out of said surgery. Are you then allowed to just use that as an excuse forever? Because in my head, when you said, you know what, I'm not going to do the surgery, then that excuse is out the window. No more, I needed surgery.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
You decided not to have surgery and you are costing this team games because of that decision. You can't throw in our faces, I needed surgery anytime something doesn't go wrong or anytime something goes wrong on a decision you made. Right. If you needed surgery, you could have opted in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Go have surgery. Need surgery? Go have surgery. Don't come out here and be dropping touchdowns left and right. Hold on a second.

Here's the thing about that.

Ich meine, dieses Team ist nur da, wo sie sind, weil Jason Sanders ist. Er ist der MVP dieses Teams. Es ist verrückt. Er ist die einzige vertrauenswerte Person auf diesem Team. Außer es ist ein extra Punkt für irgendeinen Grund, was seltsam ist. Und ich hatte jemanden, ich hatte jemanden, der mich ausgesprochen hat und mir die Vorschläge gemacht hat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Und ich möchte es an euch anrufen, weil er sich auf field-level-attempten ausgewandert hat. Die zusätzlichen Punkte sind für irgendeinen Grund dünn. Also hat diese Person mir gesagt, und ich werde es dir übernehmen, dass du nur ein paar Penalte nimmst, wie ein paar falsche Starts oder so etwas, und nur das Ball zurückmachst, bis es in seinem süßen Spot ist.

Actually, like Notre Dame kicked so much ass that there was not a single moment while I was sitting in that stadium that I was like, don't get me wrong. When Indiana recovered the onside kick, I was like, is this Indiana kicker the best onside kick kicker in all of college football? That was a beautiful onside kick. And then he almost nailed the second one. I was like, okay. What's going on here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Al Golden, like, put the defense back out on the field. Notre Dame kind of just let them score those two garbage-time touchdowns. There was like a minute left. But I wasn't really concerned. There was never really a point in the game where I was concerned. Even after the first Riley Leonard, the only Riley Leonard interception, the tipped pass, I was like, that was kind of a lucky play.

There was an Indiana guy right there that caught it. And then the next play, Xavier Watts picks it off, and then Jeremiah Love hits the 98-yard pass. So, I mean, like from the 11 minute mark in the first quarter to the end of the game, I was like, this is great. We're winning. Everyone's so happy. Everyone was such a good mood. My parents were happy. I wasn't even cold. I was so happy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
I wasn't cold.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
I think I've never seen a coach's reputation get tanked so quickly than his did in that game. Like he went from like the college football darling. He won so many coach of the year awards. He was finalist for AP coach of the year. And then he punts on fourth and 11 in the fourth quarter down three possessions in a playoff game with 10 minutes left. He punts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
And then after the game, he's like, well, my offense wasn't doing anything. And I'm like, so you put your defense back out on the field. Like that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But yeah, I mean, he kind of coached a scared conservative game. They fair caught every single kickoff. They didn't do anything that we haven't seen this season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
And it was just a really conservative game plan against a team that everyone knew was a lot better than Indiana. And if you want to win a game like that in college football, sometimes you roll the dice a little bit, see if you can get lucky. And until the last minute and a half of the game, when they actually tried to go for an onside kick, it just felt like they had given up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
I said he was my loser the weekend.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Oh, 100%. I mean, you guys heard him go on game day and talk about like, we don't just beat top 25 teams, we beat the shit out of them. I'm like, what are you talking about?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
No, you don't. I also, I don't know what happened in the post-game handshake between him and Marcus Freeman, but he looked like he kept talking and Marcus Freeman had already moved on to his interview with Molly McGrath. He was like, okay, buddy. Um, I don't know, that was just like, he should have done the, the Mack Brown and like clutched Marcus's neck and pulled him in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Cause yeah, it just was kind of a weird handshake.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Was denkst du von der seltsamen Postgame-Pressekonferenz, in der Markus Froome auf die nächste Runde eingeladen wurde? Ich liebe es! Ich akzeptiere es.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
We're basically just going to send out the link to this conversation that we're on right now and see who joins that we send the link to. So Video Roulette is an ongoing game throughout the recordings. Now, here's the thing. Because of the time of the year, I also don't really want to send it to like Ich will das nicht falsch sagen, wichtige Leute.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Wir akzeptieren es. Kann ich sagen, wir akzeptieren es? Ja, also das war all die ersten Runden der Spiele. Die Reps von den New York Six Bowl Spielen, die die Quartalfinale organisieren, haben eine Spieleball präsentiert und den Hauptcoach zu ihren Spielen eingeladen. Das ist so ein Wettbewerb von... Ja, genau.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Ja, ich habe auch ein paar Lachen über Leute gesehen, die sagten, dass Oregon ihre Einladung zur Rose Bowl zurückgeben sollte und einfach die Nationalmannschaft beurteilen. Und ich stimme total dazu. Wenn das 2005 oder zwei, ich weiß nicht, wie 15 Jahre her war, könnten sie einfach gesagt haben, naja, wir sind unverfehlbar. Wir haben den Big Ten gewonnen. Wir sind in der Rose Bowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Wir haben die Nationalmannschaft gewonnen. Danke. Wir sind alles fertig hier. Einfach beurteilen. Wer kümmert sich?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
okay, what if they decline their invitation to the Rose Bowl and then the other Bulls are like, well, hold on a second, Sugar Bowl, we want him now. Like, we want Oregon. And then they all start scrambling to grab the team that they actually want.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
That would be awesome. Also, I don't know what I'm talking about. UCF claimed a national title, like, What, seven years ago? This is still a thing. People need to claim more national championships. Kurt Cignetti should have just claimed one last week and not played in the bowl game. He should have opted out because I'm with you, Billy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Also with the fact that a lot of the players on their team are transfers and they're not going to be around next year and the schedule is going to get harder. Huge, huge L for Kurt Cignetti. And look, it brings me no joy to say this. He's a Yinzer. He's got Yinzers on his staff. Tino Sonseri is their offensive coordinator. This is like... We're multiple yinzers deep on the scout here for Indiana.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
But man, it was brutal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Yeah, I mean, I think the biggest issue right now is why are the four highest ranked conference champions the four buy teams? Maybe things would have been bigger if you just ranked it outright. The top four teams get a buy. They're going to expand it to 14 in 2016 and then do two highs. Oh, yes. But I don't know. I mean, I think for as much...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Bad Football, as there was this weekend, for lack of a better term. The four home sides brought it. I thought even the first two minutes of the Penn State game, when it was like, oh, this is fun. It was cool to see college football postseason games on campus. And I hope that that's the bigger takeaway this weekend. Sure, the matchups could have been better.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Texas Clemson actually was almost a pretty good game. But the home sites, I thought, was pretty awesome. And that was all along, I think, what sold it for a lot of people when they expanded it to 12.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
None of these teams. The games in general aren't close. College football games tend to have... Big Golfs between the winner and the loser. But when you're only playing four on a weekend... Especially with home field involved.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
True. Yeah, when you're only playing four on a weekend, like this is a point that I've heard a lot of people make this weekend, like it's a little bit of selection bias. Like, yeah, these four were huge blowouts. A lot of the games on your average Saturday are huge blowouts, but you flip to the close game and watch it and then you're like, wow, what a crazy day this was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Ich glaube, das ist Billy Gills C-List-Video-Roulette, wo wir es einfach an die Leute senden, die wir denken, es könnte aufhören. Was denkst du? Warum? Nur für Funsys, nur weil es Weihnachtszeit ist, du kannst mit Freunden und Familie treffen. Was denkst du? Ich habe eine Person, die ich senden werde. Und... Honestly, I'm waiting on this person's response.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
But yeah, I think that like... I think that it's kind of an example of the committee getting it right, because the higher seeds all won. And in a tournament, the higher seeds should get rewarded, A, with the home team and the easier matchup. And I think that kind of was how it worked out, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
None of these teams needed to play a close game for you to know that they were the better four teams in the bracket. So that part, I think, did kind of work out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
I mean, that side of the bracket is looking pretty good if you're James Franklin. Because if you can beat Boise State... They are good. Yeah, they are good. They didn't have to do a lot to beat SMU. Because SMU beat themselves very early on in the game. But if you beat Boise State,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
in the fiesta bowl you're gonna end up playing against notre dame or georgia georgia without its quarterback obviously carson beck's not playing that is a really really fierce georgia team but if you figure they can win maybe maybe you get one game with the backup quarterback like i feel like the odds have got to be low that they can win two in a row um so that's a nice little bracket set up for penn state they might be playing in the orange bowl in a in a couple weeks
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Billy, you agree? Hold on a second. I have a question, Jess. You said you're going to do a Golik and Gojo hit. What is the best thing you're going to tell them and tell us first?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
That's a way harder question, Billy. Let me think about that. Mikey A., you don't know how self-loathing I am. You're so wrong. I went on so many podcasts last week where they were like, ist Notre Dame going to beat Indiana? They're favored by eight points. They should beat them. And I'm like, I can't say. I don't want to say yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
There's a generational divide among the Mike Goliks of the world, who is the same age as my dad, and the Jessica Smetanas and the Mike Golik Juniors of the world, who grew up in the 2000s when the Notre Dame football program was
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
in a terrible spot the administration made some bad hires the culture was terrible the football was bad and so we are all very hurt people we don't believe in nice things and yes like i should believe that this team can win a national championship on i mean they are spectacular they have amazing players xavier watts is one of the best players in college football jeremiah loved that 98 yard touchdown run he's unbelievable he's gonna be an early heisman favorite next year
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
um they are a really good football team i think marcus freeman has done an incredible job this season but i am so so deeply hurt by the 2005 team the 2007 team the 2016 team all these times where you're like man this this is gonna be great and then something terrible happens so no i i don't take winning for granted as a notre dame football fan which is the opposite of what anyone in their 60s will tell you because my dad's been to national championship games he's
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
I sent it a little while ago because I decided we're playing video roulette, whether you said yes or no. I'm sending the links to people. So, this person, I will just tell you what I sent them initially. I said, are you working today and will you get in trouble if you join us on a podcast? That's the only clue and I haven't heard back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
He was at the Miami game in 1988. He's seen Notre Dame win these games and win them again and win them again. And I just can't relate to that. So I'm happy for him. And they're the greedy ones. They're like, yeah, we're going to win it all. And me and Gojo are like, please, Lord, just let us do something that's not embarrassing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Every single Notre Dame grad over the age of like 45 probably or maybe 50 is. Yeah, they're like, oh, like this is gonna be easy. I'm just excited for New Year's Eve in New Orleans. I've had this circled on my calendar for a few weeks now. I'm like Lehman. If Notre Dame wins against Indiana, which we're not allowed to talk about, because we don't want to jinx it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
This is what we're doing for New Year's Eve. And then, sure enough, game ended. I tailgated in the parking lot for like an hour. It was like 1 o'clock in the morning, Friday night, or Saturday morning. And I was like, Lehman... New Year's Eve in New Orleans and he was like, chuck your Delta app and he booked us flights and I was like, yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
You out there? Anyone?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
On the Notre Dame side.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Okay, that's the best thing I'll say.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
You'll probably have to stand in the parking lot to a pregame power-up hit or something, but after that, you're good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
I'm fine with that. I had to sit on the Clemson side for the Cotton Bowl a few years ago.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Thank you for saying that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Yeah, you too. Bye, guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
So, eine Person auf Video Roulette, war es ein Erfolg?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Nein, ich habe sie nicht verurteilt. Thomas hat sie eingeladen. Thomas ist derjenige, der ihre C-Liste bezeichnet hat, nicht ich.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
So, I think the follow-up is just going to be a link to this Zoom. What do you think?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
You wanna know how I know that Video Roulette was not gonna take off the way that I thought and was hoping that it would? And it's just because of the time of the day. It's because there was no heads up and it's because of the time of the year too that we're a couple days away from the holidays. You know how I knew it wasn't gonna take off, Stugatz?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Because the people that just no answered us were people that 100% would always join these situations. You wanna know some of the names that just no answered us?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
These people got actual links sent to them and just never materialized. Okay. Mikey C. Got an invite. Never answered. Never materialized.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
But here's the win-win of the situation. Behind the scenes, Mikey C. has been just hounding us for months and months and months to join and never has. But now the invite was sent out and now we can just throw it back in his face like, buddy, we said, what do you want me to do? That was it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
aber er hat nicht mitgekommen mikey a ist bekannt mit diesem kreiswerk billy er wird es irgendwie umdrehen und es auf uns umdrehen nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
So far, no one. I haven't sent it to anyone yet. But if you're in, I think we should all send the link to three to four people and then see who joins us. What do you think?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Lorenzo hat einen Anruf gesendet, der heute nicht mitgekommen ist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Mikey A hatte einen großen Anruf, der gesendet wurde. Schockierend, keine Antwort. Schockierend. Wer hast du ihn gesendet?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Alright, you want my big board bets really quickly and then we can kind of head out of here? Because my wife's going to kill me. I told her it has 20 minutes starting at 8 o'clock and it's almost 10 now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Big dog, huh? Unfortunate. Alright, my first one today. Josh Jacobs over 90 and a half rushing yards.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Yeah, the reason is because the Saints have a bad rush defense and it is supposed to snow. So we'll see what happens.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Alright, my next one. MVS over two and a half receiving yards.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Yeah, we're going to play another game this episode. It's called Sugan's Wi-Fi Keeps Freezing and we're going to get through it together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Sorry, receptions. Thank you, Mike. Receiving yards would have been quite the gift I was giving myself.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Yeah, over two and a half receptions. We'll see what happens.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
After a two and five week last week, I'm not feeling confident about anything. And here is one that is really... really out there, but I want to have fun with my friends today. So I'm going to go Spencer Rattler over .5 touchdowns. He just needs to throw one. It's going to be a snowy day. I don't know how much he's going to be throwing. Hopefully he's throwing to MVS when he is throwing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
But also, Alvin Kamara does not appear to be in the picture. He's not playing tonight. They're going to have to have an offense come from somewhere, so I'm hoping that it's via the air and to MVS if possible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Lass uns das kurz machen und dann gehen wir raus. Mikey, hast du das Ende der Saison für uns?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Nein, das ist okay. Okay, egal. Ich habe keine Geschenke gesendet. Wir wissen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
What does that even mean?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Now, the thing is that that's implying that there was a gift.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Okay, so this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to send my first video roulette invitation because this person may be joining us from an airplane.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Die Steelers haben das Spiel gewonnen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
It's looking bad. Kenny Pickett's up two touchdowns on you. It's not looking great, but the Commanders figured it out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
sie benötigen einen sie benötigen eine Verletzung seit einiger Zeit, sie sind, sie sind, ja, sie sind gut bereit für eine Verletzung, und sie sind, sie sind Mann, sie spielen mit Feuer, sie bekommen es nicht, ich weiß nicht, was ich weiß, aber jetzt, also sie brauchen nicht wirklich diese Spiele zu gewinnen, sie haben den einen Sieg hier ziemlich aufgeräumt, also wie ein Spiel tanken und tatsächlich ein Spiel verlieren sind zwei verschiedene Dinge, weißt du, sie werden nicht an Weihnachten verlieren, ich sollte das nicht sagen, aber sie werden nicht, sie werden nicht an Weihnachten tanken,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Nein, du hast recht. Aber sie müssen das verlieren.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Ich meine, schau, schau, wenn ich Travis Kelsey oder Patrick Mahomes war, oder ich meine, wenn ich sogar, ich denke wirklich, es kommt an Taylor. Ich denke, Taylor muss Andy nennen und sagen, Andy, warum müssen wir für Weihnachten in Pittsburgh gehen? Wir wollen das nicht. Ich bin sicher, es ist schön dort in dieser Zeit des Jahres. Wir wollen das nicht. Lass uns das nicht tun.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
C is a bit of a stretch. Billy C-List.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Und dann, sicher genug, boom, das ist es. Da ist ihre Verletzung und sie fahren nicht mal nach Pittsburgh. Ich meine, einige Leute fahren. DeAndre Hopkins wird in diesem Spiel spielen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Okay. Wenn der Segment jetzt endet, was machen wir?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
The Eagles and the Commanders. Yeah, what about them? Eagles 33, Commanders 36, we good? No, I'm kidding. That was actually a good game. That was definitely a good game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Jaden Daniels hat gestern fünf Touchdowns und zwei Interceptions. Hier ist eine Statistik, die ich von der NFL Network gekauft habe. Jaden Daniels hat vier Passungstouchdowns in den letzten 30 Sekunden des vierten Quartiers. Es ist der größte seit dem Verbrechen. Er ist also ziemlich klatschig. Er gewinnt Spiele für sie. I'm a little bit worried about how much he's running, to be honest with you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
He already has the rib injury situation. He's a bit on the smaller side and he's putting himself out there going on these runs and he's taking hits, which I'm a little worried about long term.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Willst du das Produkt des Tages sehen, während wir auf das nächste Spiel warten? Ich möchte wissen, an wen du den Link gelegt hast.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Diese Person sagt, dass sie ein Flugzeug anbaut. Ich denke nicht, dass sie sich anbieten wird. Ich denke, was mit Video Roulette passieren wird, ist, dass niemand anbieten wird, weil es zwei Tage vor Weihnachten ist und alle sind auf Verabschiedung und niemand will heute arbeiten.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Yeah, I was trying. Well, by the way, for all the Lucy fans out there, Lucy will not be joining us today. Today is a travel day for Lucy, which is fine, because here's another segment that I like to call What I Learned This Weekend. You know what I learned this weekend, Stugatz? What? Four teams playoff? Just fine. Just fine. We were good with four teams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
I'm starting to get why you guys hate them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Not necessary. Eight teams. Not sure that's going to be necessary either. Four teams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
It looks so bad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
So, your post, your comment that the college football playoffs are a bad idea because of that exact reason. If James Franklin is winning college football playoffs games, too many teams have made the college football playoffs. Catching a little bit of fire on Saturday. A lot of people in the college football community were spreading that out. So good for you, Stugatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
No, they were saying you were right. They thought that it was a very good take.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
We're going to see some upsets in terms of the brackets, I think.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Alright, Mississippi. Well, them two, enough of them. I have another game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
I mean, did Ryan Day, was his job saved by winning a game he was supposed to win?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Kurt Cignetti, großer Verlierer dieses Wochenende. Dieser Typ fliegt viel zu nah an die Sonne diese Saison. Er war der Liebling, Coach des Jahres überall, ging auf den College-Game-Day. Wir beaten nicht nur die Top-25-Teams, wir beaten das Scheiß aus ihnen. Nein, Sir, du nicht. Du hast dieses Jahr niemanden gespielt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Und ehrlich gesagt, wenn ich du wäre, würde ich aus den Playoffs komplett ausgewählt haben, um meinen Stock hoch zu halten und einen großen Job zu bekommen. Wenn Ryan Day verabschiedet wird. Aber nein, nein, nein, nicht so schnell, mein Freund. Du bist in Indiana für den vorliegenden Zukunft.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Hey, happy holidays to you Stugats. I got some good news, Mike. Yeah, I got some good news. So, we don't have any sponsor obligations today. We're kind of just doing this for funsies because we're in the middle of the college football playoffs. The NFL playoffs race is heating up. So, I have some segments that I want to try out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Wir sind gut. Wir werden nicht in meinem Fall sein.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Ich würde es ehrlich sagen, wenn ich ihm wäre und ich bin sicher, dass das nicht passiert wäre. Und Indiana. Indiana hates this show. And I apologize for that and anything that anyone said on this show to piss off Indiana. However, I feel like Kurt Cignetti...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Während die Teams da sind und petitionieren, dass sie in die Runde gehen sollen, dass sie in die Runde gehen sollen, dass sie in die Runde gehen sollen, dass sie in die Runde gehen sollen, dass sie in die Runde gehen sollen, dass sie in die Runde gehen sollen, dass sie in die Runde gehen sollen, dass sie in die Runde gehen sollen No, no, you're in, you're in. Curry's like, no, no, no, no, no, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
We don't want to be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
That's how favors work. You know what I mean? Like, hey, do me a solid. Don't put us in. Please, just don't do it. Don't do it to us. And I'll pay you back down the road.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Ich mag die Idee von Cignetti, einen kurzfristigen Lease zu haben, weil er sich nicht sicher ist, wie seine professionelle Job-Situation ist. Er bleibt in einem der Hotels, die du monatlich bezahlen kannst, weil du abroad arbeitest.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Ja, ja. Aber das ist wie ein Design, wie ein A-Loft oder was auch immer es heißt. Das ist wie ein Design für Arbeit. Ja, wie ein Residenz-Inn. Genau richtig.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Ich meine, ich habe einen Gewinner.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Trats. Ich weiß, wer es war, weil ich nur den Link zu einer Person so weit gesendet habe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
And because we're not sponsored, I don't think there's anything stopping us from doing them. You want to hear what they are? So, I have a couple things. I have one called Product of the Day. In which I'll show you a product of the day.

GBF- Monday Hangover: Four would have been enough
Wenn wir noch in der Hochschule waren, oder wenn er noch in der Hochschule war, wäre das eines der Dinge, wo man ihn in der Halle sehen würde, der den Ball unter seinem Arm hält, weil er nicht in der Lage ist, den Fußball zu lassen.

Ich hatte noch ein anderes Spiel, das ich spielen wollte. Oh, ich habe noch ein anderes Spiel, das ich spielen möchte. Ich habe es vergessen, aber ich habe es gerade erinnert. Was ist das? Das ist ein schwieriges Spiel. Und vielleicht können wir es spielen, wenn jemand dabei ist. Also, dieses Spiel ist ein bisschen ein gefährliches Spiel, während der Weihnachtszeit.

Dieses Spiel, aber es ist im Geist des Givens und Weihnachten, Weihnachten und Freude und all das. Dieses Spiel heißt, was ist dein Lieblingsspiel, das du jemandem gibst, der nie diesen Clip sehen wird?

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo. I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

The Big Suey: Top 5 Names In Sports Who Connote Easter
Hey listeners, it's Mike Ryan, and if you've listened to this show for 20 years, you know one action movie franchise that I believe stands head and shoulders above the rest. That's right. The Mission Impossible series is one of the few franchises that gets better and better, consistently raising the bar with set pieces, story, location, and character.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 Names In Sports Who Connote Easter
This is a franchise that I've argued in the past should have won the Best Picture award. Tom Cruise consistently is upping himself and raising that bar with each Mission Impossible film as the real. Practical stunts continue to push the envelope in new record-setting ways.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 Names In Sports Who Connote Easter
Tom's passion for entertaining audience has him, along with a dedicated cast and crew, pulling out all the stops to deliver the most thrilling, unbelievable feats yet. I simply cannot wait for this film. Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning in theaters May 23rd.

GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
If we were to rank the games from this weekend, Rams, Eagles, Texans, Chiefs, Commanders, Lions, Ravens, Bills, that was probably the worst of the games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
That was the worst of the games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
It wasn't bad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Coming off of a couple bad playoff weekends, this was a good playoff weekend. Including the college weekends and those because the college football playoff weekends were dreadful.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
At what point do we start sort of looking at the Texans? Because they make the playoffs every year, and they've never seen a championship game. Now, in their defense, I can't ever remember watching a Texans game where I thought they're the better team and they should win, and they didn't. But at the same time, the Texans make the playoffs every year, it feels like.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Because of that terrible division. But they never win.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I think that the Texans... So, like, it's similar to the Steelers, right? The Steelers get there and then are out early. But the Steelers have, obviously, you know, a great history and a very passionate fan base. And I am putting myself now in a bad position and I don't want to be, like, enemy number one of the Texans fans. I feel like part of it... is because they're the Texans.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
You know what I mean? Yeah, I get it. So it's like, ah, we're kind of just happy to be here. Like just two years ago, they were terrible before they had CJ Stroud. So it's like, okay, like we're, we're still kind of winding up. I think one, I think next year might be the year that if CJ doesn't get a playoff win, it starts a little bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
It's like, okay, CJ, like we're making the playoffs, but now we need to, we need to win in the playoffs and,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I mean, everybody knows going into, like, when they start releasing when the schedule of playoff games is going to be. You get to circle that Saturday, that first Saturday, 4 o'clock game. You know that's going to be the Texans. You know they're hosting that playoff game because they're the team that they're just like, all right, I guess we've got to put the Texans in their usual slot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
And then they're done. And it's like, okay. Congratulations. You made it to the Saturday playoff game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
They won a playoff game this year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I know, but they're never a threat. We never talk about them like, oh man, who's going to beat the Texans? Even when they're good, they're... You're not – you've never seen a championship game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Coming into this season, it felt like we were going to see some of those games in the regular season where it was like, oh, Texas is going to be hard. And then, like, they had so many injuries. And TJ wasn't as good this year seemingly as he was last year. So, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I mean, the thing is, is the AFC, like, I just – what are the Texans going to have – this is not where I thought we would be today, but what are the Texans going to have to do in the AFC –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
to become a team like that because the chiefs i'm not gonna say are kind of you know on the way down in their dynasty but if the chiefs lose next weekend to the bill spoiler or if the bills beat the ravens if you didn't watch any of football but you're listening today that happened we'll get to that in a moment
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
But if the Chiefs lose to the Bills and don't make the playoffs, while they will fail in their quest for the first three-peat ever, I don't think it will be entirely surprising if they don't beat the Bills. And I also, and this sounds weird, don't think it's a failure of a season for them if they don't three-peat and win the Super Bowl. Because while they had the best record in the AFC season,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
they snuck by a lot and it felt like they were just kind of hanging around for this time. It's like the weird, it, I guess like the way you think of like load management in the NBA is what the regular season felt like for the cheese, but somehow they still won all of those games. You know what I mean?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Like it felt like we were kind of just cheese for coasting through the regular season and then come playoff time, they're going to turn it on. And by the way, Anyone who's worried about Travis Kelsey, you're an idiot because he was incredible, incredible in that game to the point that it was almost negligence by the Texans to let him be so open so often.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I couldn't believe how many times in that game Travis Kelsey was just standing wide open in the middle of the field.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
It almost feels like we got cheated, like he could have been doing this all season. Like, could he have been doing this all season?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Load management, I'm telling you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
And he just decided, I don't think you're wrong. I think they were just like, hey, here's a really good play where Travis will be wide open, but we're going to save this for the divisional round because there's just no reason to use Travis Kelsey until then.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Yeah, yeah. Do you have any more thoughts on this? You want to move on to the next game? Because you were just saying about saving plays. Ben Johnson pulled out a play that shocked everyone that I don't think anyone had ever seen. And he was putting on a show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
For any team that had interviewed Ben Johnson, the way they were doing some of these trick plays, you're like, oh, that could be mine next year? Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
oh okay let's do that it was such the the story of trick plays where he ran two or three of them in the game and the first two worked really well there was that one where they pitched it to david montgomery or then did a shovel pass and you're like oh this is amazing that was that was that was the play i like where you're going
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
And then he does the other one where Jameis Williams just throws an interception because he's Jameis and Williams. And throws an interception when Jameis and Williams should A, not be throwing, and B, should not be throwing in that situation. And you're like, oh, this is a bad day for him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Can I tell you the rollercoaster of emotions I went on? Sure. First trick play that we just talked about, I was like, oh, okay, we're showing off. And then the second one, I seriously turned and I said to no one because my wife was not paying attention at all. So I guess I turned to my wife and I turned and I said, guy's going to cost himself a job on that failed trick play.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I'm like, stop getting cute. You're going to cost yourself a job, buddy. You're fine. Everybody wants you. Don't do this to yourself. We don't need to do this. Dan Campbell crying after the loss.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
not commanders 45 lions 31 uh in case you didn't know the score of that game it it was unsurprising or surprising you said dan campbell crying is not surprising no he seems like a very emotional man one way or another emotional dude yeah like he he might have cried if they won like he might have been like i'm just so proud of these guys yeah tears of joy after halftime uh
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
feel like it was Aaron Andrews but I could be wrong said I spoke to Dan Campbell he lost he barely could talk to me almost lost his voice I'm like that's that's it though like that's that's the state his voice is probably always in like I would hate to hear Dan Campbell's May voice you know what I mean like give him a couple months off let it recover heading into like you know
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
the summer workouts post draft. He's now had a couple months, maybe he has some tea or whatever. And his voice is like, I don't want to hear that version of his voice. Like I want to hear his voice at all times. Exactly. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I won't recognize it. Yeah. Like what does he, what does he sound like when he's just ordering breakfast in June?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Yeah. Oh man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
like hey give me give me two eggs two egg whites it would be funny if he had like a really high pitched voice we just had no idea because he's just always the thing is it's like i don't like mine i don't according to k funk yeah i don't i don't view him and i'm i'm sure i'm wrong about this i don't view him as like the tyrant yelling coach like on the sideline like particularly like if you think of like the college coaches like a saban or whatever like just like
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
berating his players yelling them like that's not how i view him losing his voice like i view him just like doing everything like very intensely like you go up to the lions facility in the morning he's like what kind of coffee you got there today like just really excited about like everything's like who's ready to work calm down dan like relax also for those of you who were not part of this which is everyone in the world except me and mikey because we were having this conversation privately we were talking about coffee this morning
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Mikey and I don't want to betray him here bit of a coffee snob very much and he was talking to me and realized coffee not super huge down here in Miami we got some Cuban coffee in fact I will tell you this and this is I don't want to do like the whole thing where it's like Miami is the only place that says this but
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
i don't think it's super common i guess it is but like we will refer to coffee as american coffee like like everywhere like no that's american coffee just because like we have a lot of cuban coffee down here it's like do you want american like i'm like i want coffee and they're like american coffee like yeah american coffee so if i were if you just plucked me down right in the middle of miami and i said to a random person where can i get a coffee
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Would they send me to a place where I can get an American coffee or a Cuban coffee?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Depends where they send you. Is American coffee the way that it's it's described in a lot of places? It might be. I'm just unfamiliar.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I would imagine a lot of like when I'm saying like you never say American coffee when you're getting coffee.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
No, no. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I don't think, yeah. Hartford area, Connecticut, I don't think there's a ton of Cubans up there. No, I'm not sure there's any. I mean, if they work for ESPN, maybe they're in the, you know, area. Who knows? The Commanders and the Lions game. Best game of the weekend. I mean, Bills. The other two were so good, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
god bless football mike yay god bless football billy gill uh hello everyone hello world it's monday january 20th 2025 here we are we made it look at us We made it through another round of the NFL playoffs. It is National Championship Day. Martin Luther King Day, too, by the way. Happy Martin Luther King Day. We had a big weekend of sports. We're going to try this morning.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
These three games that we have to talk about, so Rams, Eagles, Commanders, Lions, Ravens, Bills. They were all very good, and they were all very good, I think, for different reasons.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I think that the Commander's Lions was like the shootout with not the best defense. Jared Goff, multiple interceptions, coming out party for Jaden Daniels. If you haven't been watching him all year long, you're like, whoa. Who is this guy? Ooh, actually, I'm adding this to my list. I have a big loser for the weekend. Winners and losers. Presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Please drink responsibly. You know what? Let's just do this right now. Winners and losers. Presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly. The first loser of the weekend. Stugatz's friend, Joe Shane, because for the rest of time, for the rest of time, Joe Shane is the GM of the New York Giants.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
For those of you who don't know, and he knows Stugatz because they were part of the same country club. Joe Shane, for the remainder of time, every time Jaden Daniels has a big game,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
We will see the clip of Hard Knocks where his, I believe, teenage son was telling him, you should really trade up to get Jade and Daniels while he's going around and asking all of his children on the weird Hard Knocks that we've never before. It was basically Hard Knocks Joe Shane. We just put a camera in Joe Shane's office and see what it is that he's up to in the offseason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Kind of like creepy, if we're going to be honest with you. So it's just kind of we're just seeing what it is that the Giants front office. So you can get a good idea of how to run a franchise. The Giants front office is doing in the offseason. And now we have the famous clip that we've seen over and over again of Joe Shane's teenage son telling him, you know what?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Trade up and get Jaden Daniels in this draft. And he literally says to him, you're only going to get this job once. You might as well try to win. And he says, you know what I'm going to do? Trade Saquon Barkley or let him go. We don't need Saquon. We don't need Jaden. We got Daniel Jones. We're perfectly fine. He's going to be here a long time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Jets fans would trade right now for his teenage son as opposed to Woody Johnson. Wow, could you imagine? Who gets all of his ratings from Madden.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
So I think, and correct me if I'm wrong here, Mikey, I think Joe Shane's teenage son is the only person that hasn't applied and been interviewed for a job with the Jets because every single person on the face of earth... has completed their interview with the Jets because we're told every single day someone else has completed it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Some of them in person, some are on Zoom, but every single person is applying for every single Jets job, and they're letting us know about every single... Was Cade McCown the latest one? Did I see him?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Josh McCown. Josh McCown. Okay. Josh McCown. The funny thing about... The really funny part about it is Woody Johnson is paying a consultant firm to give him...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
like names to interview and be part of the interview and i'm sitting here going what are you paying for because they literally gave you a list of everyone ever associated with the nfl ever yeah and they're like hey here's here's the list of people you should look at and it's 19 pages long and uh remember we get paid by the hour yeah so
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
There's two moves by consulting firms, I think, and I've never been part of one, but I aspire to be part of one one day because it seems like quite the legal racket. So there's two moves. There's that move that they pull off where they just give you a billion options. And then at the end of the day, Mike Tannenbaum gets the job or.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Or, and I don't know if you've seen this yet, Mikey, but if you want, and if you're a listener, Google this now at home. Google the old Walmart logo and the new Walmart logo. And I'll give you a moment, and I'll fill.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
But Google the new 2025 Walmart logo and the old one, and you will then see the second function of consulting firms because this is quite the magical move that I'm sure they were paid hundreds, if not thousands,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
millions hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars for this move where they basically just highlighted the text and hit bold and then in the little sun looking thing that they have they just made that a little bit thicker and moved it a little bit closer together yeah you know what
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
This is the job I want. This is the job I want. You've changed the course of my life. I want to be a consultant to say, you know what you guys would do? You know what would drive your sales? Bold.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
To do what we normally do, also coming up, we have what is not necessarily the nicest thing that we've done to someone in the past. We have an exclusive interview. Golik will be joining us to preview tonight's national championship game. Stugatz will be with us for that interview as well. And Stugatz did his thing where we had a surprise guest for Golik.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I think the hardest part, and it's like the Elaine Bennis of a job, where it's like, okay, now write 30 pages of on why this is different and why this represents the present standing of the company. And they will just... The new bold look really envisions the direction of the future that this company wants to go in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Because that's what we want to be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
It's more... It's really... And notice it's slightly closer together. That represents the unity within the company and within the community and really within America moving forward that we aspire to bring everybody together while you're shopping through our... Exactly. While you're shopping through our aisles, we really...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
unifying front that's why they seem slightly closer together and the yellow we didn't change that that was fine
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
no that was that was like yeah it doesn't say that we want to embrace our past that's part of our we kept companies rich history we kept the exact same colors to not gear too far off of our unified vision and really honoring the legacy of sam walton it's like thanks guys perfect with one eye on the past and one eye on the future exactly right that's why um okay so the lions did kind of what the lions do and they they except for last year and they they blew it
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
And the Commanders now, are they going to be not the favorite on the field, but the rooting favorite in the NFC?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Easily.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Up against the Eagles? Is that just like area bias for you? Do you hate the Eagles?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
So I think as someone who grew up a New York sports fan, even though I'm a Boston-hating New York fan, not a Philly-hating one, I can't – I'm with them in like I don't like Philly. I was wondering, like, for you, this college football national championship, which we'll get to in a few minutes with Mike Golick, you said, like, there's no good outcome for me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Like, I'm going to have to watch either Notre Dame or Ohio State win. And for me, like, I... It's an easy choice for me. I'm rooting for Notre Dame, even though I'm neutral about Notre Dame. It's an easy choice for me. But I'm looking at the teams left for the NFL, and I'm wondering, like, what's best case scenario for me? And the clear answer is Washington.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
But, like, I will be upset if pretty much any other team wins.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Huh. So the Chiefs is just you're tired of the Chiefs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
It's that I'm tired of them. It's like, and I think Patrick Mahomes is kind of becoming a little bit of a sports villain in like the flop. The flop is kind of the kind of thing where you go, all right, I'm sick of this. I'm a little over it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I will remind you, and I'll say tread lightly, Chiefs Kingdom embraced us earlier this season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Listen, it's not them. It's not even the team. It's fatigue. And I don't think any Chiefs fan would be like, yeah, I don't see that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
So the Chiefs obviously are in. The Bills beat the Ravens. We haven't gotten to that yet, but we'll get to that. You don't like the Bills.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Listen, you can't be a Jets fan and be like, yeah, you go Bills.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
And if you listen to it, you should know that at the time, if you're listening to the audio, Mike Golick was wearing an Under Armour shirt with The Rock's logo on it. And maybe I led him to believe that it could be The Rock. And then, spoiler alert, and I'm going to tell you because when he comes on and we just say his name, you may not know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Yeah, that's true.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Somebody asked me if I would rather the Dolphins win the Super Bowl or the Patriots.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Oh.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I just left. I couldn't answer that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Really?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Yeah, I just left.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
You don't like the Dolphins that much? I kind of thought that the Dolphins were irrelevant to everyone at this point in time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
The Dolphins were the biggest... rival for the longest time. Yeah, but that's a long time. So good. Yeah, like it's it's it's but those Patriots don't exist anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Those Patriots are the past. Yes, that's right. That's why we still use the yellow. Yes, because of the Patriots. All right. Well, the commanders now are everybody's darling favorite team, and they've gone from a team that is playing with house money to a team that now everybody is hoping and praying beats the Eagles next round. I think I think
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I think outside of Philadelphia, I think pretty much everybody, because like even Cowboys fans and Giants fans who are like, I can't root for my rival are like, yeah, but if I had to root for one of my rivals, it'd be that one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Yeah. Yeah. I made the mistake yesterday in fantasy. You can compete against us in fantasy. Go to DKNG.co slash Smirnoff. Our fantasy contest is presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly. When we're this late in the game. of fantasy and you only have four games, there's very little variance in who everybody is taking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
A lot of people are just taking the same people. So you have to go out on a limb and, uh, and really find where the hidden gems are. So I thought everyone is going to do Josh Allen this week because, you know, it's easy money. So I went with Jaden Daniels, which ended up working out except, except, uh,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
He was doing this cute little game where he was passing the ball up until the two-yard line, and then they were running everything in. So we were not getting any touchdown points. So while he had a great game, he didn't get me what I needed. Jameer Gibbs. Oh, Jameer Gibbs. Oh, Jameer Gibbs. I thought he was going to carry me to fantasy heaven.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
And then I made the mistake of taking Derek Henry over Saquon Barkley because my thinking was, this is my thought process. I had looked in the weather and I was like, Buffalo is going to be a messy game. They're going to be running all day long in Buffalo. And sure enough... It was okay. It was pleasant enough. Josh decided I'm passing today. And he was going to throw also.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
So did Lamar to his detriment. But Josh decided he was going to pass today. I can't imagine. And we've now skipped a game. We'll go back. I can't imagine catching a ball in that weather. Because it must be like catching a bowling ball. And Mark Andrews. Oh, buddy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Maybe they should have let the air out of the ball a little bit. Maybe. Some Hall of Famers would say the best way to combat that is to...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
let a little air out some say that you say some some say that i i have thought this year this is completely obviously unrelated to what we're talking about i have thought this year tom brady's been fine People are very anti-Tom Brady. He's fine. I mean, I'm not going to put it this way. I'm not going to not watch a game because of Tom Brady taking some sort of stand to bring Greg Olson back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
You're not going to know who it is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Like, I'm okay. I'm watching the game. I'm fine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I want him to be better. I want him to be better. He can be better. I'm not saying that he's not good. I'm not saying... I feel like... I feel like what he does is he analyzes every play. And I'm like, you know what, Tom? Some plays are just a one-yard run, and they can just be a one-yard run. Whereas he's like, no, see, here's what's happening. And it's like, I don't need to know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
You may not know based on name alone, but... It's the coach of Northern Illinois' football team, the only team to beat Notre Dame this year. We kind of wanted to get the X's and O's, the how Ohio State can beat Notre Dame tonight. And we were really just trying to agitate Golik, if I'm going to be perfectly honest with you. And he was a lovely man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Maybe just give me a little personality and a little less analytics there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Now, here's the tricky part. Who tells him that? Because I think that may be where we're at. I think that may be where we're at with this experience. It's like Tom may come in. I don't know if he's going in and he's like, how'd that go? And everyone's like, that was great. That was perfect, Tom. He's like, okay. And then he goes home or he's just like, I'm Tom Brady. I got this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
But it's probably somewhere in the middle, right? No one wants to be the person to sit down and be like, Tom, listen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
What's so funny about that? A little behind the scenes, a little... Little bragging on my part here. Worked with a lot of former athletes. Yeah. A lot of good ones. A lot of great ones. A lot of mediocre ones. No. And here's the thing. They all still want to be coached. They still want the film room Monday. They still want you to say, hey, here's what you did well. Here's what you got to work on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Here's how you do it. They all still want that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Yeah, but I don't think there's many people telling Tom.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Well, you have to be willing to coach, Tom.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Yeah. Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Hey, Tom, I'll do it. Tom, I'll do it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
They bring in Bill Belichick. Bill Belichick, media coach, after a year in the media himself. He's won. No one was giving him tips on. You know what I mean? It's like, whatever Bill gives us, Bill gives us. I'm not sitting down with Bill.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Coaches don't want to be coached.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Coaches don't want to be coached. No, not going to happen. Anyways, Rams-Eagles. We got to a point. Rams seemed to have put that one away. Or, sorry, Eagles seemed to have put that one away. Rams got right back in that one. I don't know how they managed to pull that one off. Saquon...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
That was the best game of the weekend. Like, you asked before, Washington and the Lions was the most entertaining. But the best game of the weekend was the one that went down to that. Oh, maybe Buffalo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
No, because here's what I will tell you about Buffalo and the Ravens. That game was not as exciting and fun as the Commanders and Lions game, and I don't think was as good as the Rams and Eagles. While they seem to have been playing in worse conditions than Rams and Eagles, Ravens-Bills was a little bit sloppy. It was a close game, but not... a classic game, if that makes sense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I feel bad for Lamar Jackson because Lamar Jackson, aside from the turnovers, but Lamar did what he had to do to win that game And now that will be forgotten within a few weeks. And then next year in the playoffs, it will go back to. And there'll be, you know, the videos and the notes of how Mark Andrews was a big loser and winners and losers presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
There'll be a slight note, but history will forget that Mark Andrews had that two point conversion dropped, that he had that fumble and it will just fall back on Lamar.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
And I think we fell in love with him, and he's probably rooting for Notre Dame today. Oh! And we get to the bottom of one of life's most pressing questions. And I don't know why I'm giving away all of the goods now, but we find out what Marcus Freeman smells like. So if you ever wondered to yourself, what does Marcus Freeman smell like? Stick around. You're going to hear that a little later today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
not being able to get it done unfortunately because again he did everything that he could do and he is going to be the victim in this narrative because they did not lose because of him but that's not how it's going to be remembered and here's the other thing i'll say about that game um it went down to a failed two-point conversion because mark andrews forgot how to catch
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
And I don't think it could have lived up to the hype. I don't think anything we could have gotten in that game could have lived up to what we thought we were going to get in that game. And then we came off of a really good game. I think maybe that's why I don't view it as the best game of the weekend, because I was expecting so much more than I got, and I still got really good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Yeah, no, this weekend was great. Yesterday's games were great. Again, the fact that we were saying Texas and Chiefs was the worst game of the weekend, that wasn't even a bad game. It was just there was three really good games this weekend. Setting up, if the season ended today, Mikey... Great matchups next week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
We have the Commanders and the Eagles, which you have already told us you want the Commanders to win the Super Bowl. You're rooting for them. And then we have Chiefs and Bills, which I think this is only the second time that they're playing each other in the conference championship with Mahomes and Josh Allen, because I think they always end up running into each other around sooner.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
So I think this is the first time since 2020 the Bills are going to be in the AFC championship game. And it's lining up nicely for them because, as we mentioned, results of this week's game aside, the Chiefs do seem to not be the Chiefs that we've seen, even though they looked pretty good. But that could just be that they were playing the Texans.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
If the Bills were to make it to the Super Bowl on somewhat of a down year on this 15-2 Chiefs team... I think this works out great for everyone because that even Patrick is like, well, you know, now he can go home, spend time with his kids. And, you know, the pressure of the three-peat is done. And then next year is kind of a bounce-back year or whatever. But we'll see. I'm excited about that one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
That one is the Sunday night game next week, I believe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Are you saying that if the Chiefs lose the AFC championship game, it's a good loss? Is that a good loss?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
It's a good loss for the Chiefs, yeah. It's a good loss? It's a good loss.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
To lose the AFC championship game, you're saying for the Chiefs, because that's going to set them up for the next five years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
It's a good loss, yeah. It's a quality loss by the Chiefs. Okay, let me say this. The Chiefs are the team of the commanders, because if the commanders lose, they weren't supposed to be there. And by the way, By the way, people of the world, I believe if you go back, and I'm asking you not to do so, but I believe if you go back about five or six weeks ago, I said the commanders might be frauds.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
So don't go back and look into that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Don't do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
You have no reason to go back. I forgot that you should too. You have no reason to go back six weeks and listen to old episodes of God bless football. That stuff's dated. I would appreciate it if you did, but don't do that. We don't need that. Just, but like Walmart, we're just focusing on the future with our new, our new look here. Exactly right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Well, no eyes on the past in this situation, both eyes on the future. If the commanders lose, whatever, they weren't supposed to be there. If the Eagles lose, people are going to want to fire Sirianni again. Obviously, that's what's going to happen. They're going to want to immediately fire Sirianni. If the Bills lose...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
You start having that conversation of... I saw a clip of Peyton Manning talking to Kevin Clark about Josh Allen. And he was saying that Josh is facing some of the same things that he would face in his career, at this point in his career, where it was, Peyton Manning is really good, but... And Josh Allen is really good, makes all these great plays, but... And he was saying how Josh...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Also, I just want to say, God bless football is presented by Spiranoff. We do game days. Please drink responsibly. So we have winners and losers coming up. I have big board bets in a somewhat abridged version of God bless football. Cause you know, it's, you know, we're down a couple of people, the holidays, people were traveling, you know, some people have said, you know what?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
needs to remove the butt, which is kind of where this game is. This is a game to get to the Super Bowl. If he doesn't win the Super Bowl this year, he made it to the Super Bowl. And then there's like, okay, we'll be back. Whether they are or not, it doesn't matter. But the thinking will be, okay, we'll be back to the Super Bowl. This is a great step to make it to the Super Bowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Not how we wanted the season to end, but a great step. If he loses this game... you're kind of right back in the exact same position. It's the first time again in five years that they've been to the AFC Championship game, but you're back in the same position of... Here we go again, which is unfair to him because going into the season, no one thought that they would be anywhere near this position.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
They thought that this was going to be an off year for the Bills. They got rid of Stephon Diggs. What are his weapons going to be? So I think he's got to win, which is why. Chiefs, good loss. Good loss for the Chiefs. Maybe you see, even though now we're in it, now they might as well go all the way, you know, if you're the Chiefs. Because you're not, what are you getting? Two weeks off?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Like, that's... I'll play two more weeks. What difference does that make? And if you don't make the playoffs, you get a whole month or you lose the first round and you get extra week. Now you might as well two weeks. Anyone can do two weeks, right? Sure. Okay. There's a national championship game tonight. We haven't really talked about the Rams and the Eagles.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Well, all we've really said is Saquon. So good. And I don't know how much more needs to be said about that game. So national championship is today. We're going to talk to Golik, and we're going to talk to the head coach of Northern Illinois. I don't know what happened to me there. The only team to beat Notre Dame this year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
But before we do that, Mikey, I thought it'd be fun if I gave you, because it's Monday, obviously.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Need it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I thought it'd be fun if I gave you a little BB BB BB national championship edition.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
So the first one that I'm going to do here, is this the first ever BB BB BB college? I can't remember you ever doing it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I think this is the first college edition of this game. And if I'm going to be honest with you as to why it is that I'm doing it, besides the fact that it is Monday, it is because right now my record on the season is 47-29. And in my dream fantasy world, I go 3-0 and I hit 50 wins. And then I am sitting pretty. And maybe moving forward, this then becomes... For the last two weeks of the season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Maybe this will become a Friday situation. But I'm leaning towards no. Because Stugatz doesn't seem to like me doing this. And he doesn't seem to like when I win these things. Because he'll just tell you how great his record has been. Even though he changes the lines in every single one of the game. So... This may be the last one of the season to be determined.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
We were talking about Ohio State and Notre Dame before, Mikey. And you were saying how you have become a Notre Dame fan. I was at a... Instead of Buffalo, I was at a three-year-old's birthday party yesterday, which was a surprise birthday I didn't know about. But then found out, like, oh, we are going to a birthday party in two hours.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
So... And, oh, can you go buy a present for said birthday party, which I had to do. So... I went to this birthday party yesterday, and I was talking to some of my – my brother-in-law was there. I was talking to some of the dads. And they, like you, are rooting for Notre Dame, which I thought was weird and I think is just an age thing down here because Miami has a unique –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I'm going to sit by my TV. Yeah. One of the biggest football weekends of the year, national championship for big playoff games. We'll take this one off, maybe sitting around watching the inauguration today. I don't know what people are doing. It's snowing everywhere. People probably snowed in as well. I mean, probably not as many people from our office are snowed in since we live in Miami.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
hatred for both teams sure the older generations remember Notre Dame and the Catholics versus convicts and they hate Notre Dame I don't like Notre Dame because I think they're annoying but I don't have the same passion because also I don't really care about the University of Miami now Ohio State
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
has like a... Miami still believes that they were robbed a national championship to Jim Trestle and Ohio State. So they do not want Ohio State, even though Ohio State has won a national championship since, they do not want Ohio State to win a national championship. So down here, it's kind of interesting because of the whole University of Miami dynamic with both teams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
So anyways, I am going to take the over... 45 and a half points.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
So all that to say you're not picking a team yet?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
This is what I'm going to say. I'm taking the over of 45 and a half points. Why am I taking the over, you ask? Because I have done terribly this year when I take the under at anything. So I have told myself, Billy, stop taking the under. Just root for an entertaining game. So I'm going to take the over of 45 and a half points. That's my first one. My second one. Jeremiah Smith, Anytime Touchdown.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I like that one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I'm just doing that one for Mikey because Mikey said take Jeremiah Smith anytime touchdown last week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Well, I was trying to let you have it. I was trying to let you have it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
No, no, no, no, it's fine, it's fine. And then Fuentes said take Jeremiah Smith over everything. But I trust Mikey more than I trust Fuentes, so Jeremiah Smith anytime touchdown. And finally, and again, we're going to have Mike Golick on here next. And I want to thank Jess and Lucy because I reached out to them to see if they wanted to join today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Both were willing, and I ended up saying, you know what, it is early on Martin Luther King Day.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
You go ahead and enjoy, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Well, they're both going to the national championship game tonight. So I said, you know what? You guys just enjoy this week. Enjoy this game. Enjoy the national championship. We'll catch up with you later this week. So shout out to them because they were willing to come on and partake in the fun today. And again, the fun is not stopping. We're going to talk to Mike Golick coming up next.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
And I'm really going to try to agitate him if I'm going to be honest with you. My final pick headed into agitating Mike Golick. Notre Dame plus 8.5. Yeah, it hurts me. It really hurts me to do it. It hurts me. So many points. And selfishly, I don't know if they're going to win. I want both teams to lose.

But I selfishly just want a good national championship game because there have been some stinkers as of late. I just want a close one. 8.5 points is a lot of points. So anyways, coming up next... As we've teased a billion times by now, Mike Golick gets us ready for the national championship game with a special guest.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
It doesn't really snow here, but snowed in right after this. Mikey has to go out. He has to plow some snow to save his family from being trapped in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
You know what? It's more of there are things that we plan to get done today and nobody can get out of the garage until I clear a path. And, you know, some of us said they were going to be here and then decided not to, not naming any names or anything like that. But me and Billy are here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
So, Mike, I have a theory on the national championship I want to share with you that I'm not sure you're going to be too fond of, but I've been floating it out there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I believe that it is best for business for you for Notre Dame to lose the national championship this year. And I'll tell you why.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Hear him out, Mike. Hear him out on this. This isn't a bad theory. He's been peddling this for a while. And to be honest with you, originally I had your reaction. I was like, come on, man. Mike wants Notre Dame to win. But there's some logic to this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
This is going to take something from you here, Billy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Okay, well, here's the deal. Naturally, your heart wants Notre Dame to win the national championship, but your head may not, and you just don't know it until I now give you this theory of mine. I believe that once Notre Dame wins the national championship...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I think some of the opportunities that you get as a distinguished Notre Dame name are going to start going to the Riley Leonard's of the world. You know what I mean? They're going to say, you know what, let's get, let's get some national champions on here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
And I feel like then maybe they're going to disrespect all of what you've done for the university for all of the years for all these Johnny come lately. And I don't like it. I don't like it one bit. So I, because I care about you, I, I'm rooting for Notre Dame to lose so that you get to still have your Sterling standing within the community.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I appreciate that very much.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
You're welcome.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I disagree. Hey, give the fruits to the people who won the title. If they get the accolades, they deserve it. So be it. If I have to take a step back, so be it. I still live within a block of the campus. It's not like I won't be around. And I doubt all of a sudden I'll stop being let into practice to watch. Now, if that happens, you know, I'll, I'll raise an eyebrow, but I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
No, I am all for giving the love to those who win it. So while I understand and I appreciate your concern for me, I still hope that they win the title.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
What about, what about the, the, the, the crop that isn't part of the national championship team, but like the Kyle Rudolphs who you like, you didn't win a national championship, but you're just newer to the Notre Dame community.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
It'll be interesting how – now, a lot depends on how much you're around, right? You can't just show up once a year and expect to have the red carpet laid out for you. You have to kind of be around. You have to be at games. You have to be at practice. You have to – if you're invited to talk to the team, talk to the team. So you have to stay involved with the team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
And Billy, I'm watching these snow games because it feels like all the games were in either bitter cold or snow or indoors the last two games. And I'm wondering, like... Is that something you would want to do? Like if we could go to the Bills game or the Chiefs game or even the Eagles game where it looked – for those of us that live in snow, you know there's snow and there's that wet rain snow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
But this is my concern, Mike, because I feel like now your six-month commitment to Notre Dame is going to have to become a year-round commitment where maybe we spend a lot more time at the South Bend estate. You know what I mean? Or maybe they say, you know what? This is nice. You're a block away from campus, but this is for winners. You're going to have to move three blocks away from campus now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
You know what I mean? Here's the thing. I believe that you believe that they're not going to do this to you. But I believe they're not going to stab you in the front. I think we need to keep an eye on them because it's the ones that you love the most that can hurt you the most. And I think that if we're not looking out for you, they may break your heart, and I don't want you to be heartbroken.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I appreciate your concern for me. I personally am not worried about it. I have too much respect for Marcus Freeman that he wouldn't do that to former players because he's made such a point of bringing former players back into the fold. But it's noted. I do appreciate your concern.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Yeah. How do we feel about Father Dowd? Is he one that would hurt you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
No. How about Father Dowd, the new president of Notre Dame, and Pete Bavocqua, the new AD of Notre Dame? Here they are, their first year in the gig, and their team's playing for the national championship. I mean, that's pretty damn impressive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Yes. Which isn't shocking. But they are for nice reasons.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
He does. He does. Well, I do appreciate that. I'm not too worried. You know what? It's a good problem to have.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Well, it may not be. That's what I'm getting at. It seems hypothetically like a good problem to have until we have it. So I'm trying to avoid it. I have a golden heart for the Golden Domers. You know what I mean?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I'm willing to roll the dice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
No, not at this point. I don't think he wants to go to the NFL. Just yet. He just signed the extension with Notre Dame. They're paying him good bucks. I do think he'll be around. I know his name has been attached to the Bears, but I don't think that he wants to. I'm not sure what his goal is, if he wants to coach in the NFL or not. But I don't think he wants to right now. That would be my guess.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
It was that, staying at your house, Billy, and the fact that I have PTSD about that stadium in Notre Dame. They played there for the title when my boys were on the team in 2013 in that stadium and got smoked by Bama, so I didn't feel like revisiting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
It looks very different now, Mike. You wouldn't even recognize it from that game. They have the roof on there. It's a totally different vibe, but I get it. I get it. Not the house thing. I don't understand why you don't want to stay at my house, but I get the whole PTSD from this. Yeah, look, I'm going to assume it's that it's more.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Look at that couch. How inviting is that couch to lay on? So my legs could hang over the end of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Oh, no, that's a sofa bed that pulls out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Oh, that would be great. Yeah. Like they all have that bar in the middle. I'm going to lay on the bar. That would be awesome.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
No, he doesn't. No, he doesn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
The bar, the bar just would be right in the middle of my back. I would just get a horrible night's sleep.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Yeah, they just emailed. Do they want to get him on now? And I said, yes, please. Yes, please. I'm assuming any second here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
And it's very different than – than actual big flakes of snow. Is that something you'd want to do? Would you be okay if I was like, hey, Billy, I got two tickets to the Bills game. You want to go?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Any guesses?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Listen, knowing you guys, I have no clue. Zero clue.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Knowing us, you kind of have a clue.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
It's nice that you wore that shirt today. I'll just say that. Yeah. He's wearing a shirt of The Rock for everyone who's listening. Wow. Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I think he thinks it's The Rock now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I would have thought it would be someone associated with Notre Dame.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Yeah, well, maybe. Who knows? It might be. Maybe. I have a question for you, Michael, that I want to get to the bottom of. Because Jessica told this story on the show a couple weeks back. So she was there for the first playoff game. Yes. Where you guys were hosting Indiana. Yes. And then she told us that there was a gathering at your house after the game where some former players were there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
And she ran into Shane Gillis, who was just kind of hanging out at your house. Now, not at the house was you or your son, because you both went out of Dodge right after the game, had flights to go and you weren't there, but still hosted a house party for a who's who of Notre Dame people.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Yeah, that was a turn. And I didn't even know that that Shane Gillis was there. I had heard that he wanted to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I mean, and have a couple of beers. But Mike and I had to go work the Penn State SMU game the next morning. So we had a 1 a.m. flight. that we took, and my son Jake was at the game as well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
He drove us to the airport, so while we were all going to the airport, Shane Gillis, Kyle Rudolph was over the house, Braxton Cave was over the house, and they were with Shane during the game, and Shane, as they were, they used our house as kind of a place to wait for an Uber, Shane came by and was just hanging out. And Jess Matana, who we're talking about, she was staying at the house.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
We had her stay at the house for the game. She walks in and says, there's Shane Gillis sitting there having a beer. I mean, I thought I had heard he might come over, but I knew we weren't going to be there. So, yeah, we just kind of host people even if we're not there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Well, so amongst just us friends here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Not everyone. Not everyone is hosted. Sometimes we ask to come and we're not invited. Yes. Well, no, that's on purpose.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Well, I just I just opened my couch for you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Just me and you. Safe space.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
It's already happened. I'll confess to you that I was working on something the last two weeks and really last week came up with a good And I had plans to go to Buffalo for the game. And we have someone that we work with, Taylor, who went to college with Mac Hollins. So he had assured me that if we were to go, we were going to on Saturday. And I'm sure he didn't run this by Mac.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Coach, let me tell you, I was at that game. I was very sad at that game. But, I mean, as a former player who played for a number of coaches, I was extremely, when I sat down and got over the sadness of Notre Dame losing, I was so happy for your players and you as a coach. I mean, for coming into the stadium, I mean,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
What were you saying to the team on the sidelines at halftime when we kept expecting Notre Dame to come back and they weren't?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
He's still not. It'll take a win on the championship game for Mike to truly be okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
No, no. As I said, in the moment, I wasn't happy. But then, listen, it's a reality. Northern Illinois won the game. I was happy for the players. And I know he had some injuries. He got hurt in that game. But Ontario Brown, wow. I mean, he was so big in that game. I mean, rushing and caught a couple of balls for over 100 yards. I mean, you needed a guy to stand out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
And in that game, anyway, he really stood out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
So when you're game playing, and Notre Dame plays about as much man as anybody in the country. And with Jeremiah Smith and Emeka Abuka, I mean, that's going to be a difficult task. As a coach, and this is for Al Golden, the D coordinator, do you change up and say, we're going to have to play more zone? Or do you say, hey, we're in the national championship. We play mostly man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
We're just sticking with what we do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Coach, coach, when you guys beat Notre Dame and you go after the game and you shake hands with, you know, Coach Freeman and and you see some of the other players, you like go up to any of the Notre Dame players and say, you know what? Like, we got room for you next year on this roster if you want to join a winner like any of that happened.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
but the plan was on Saturday to interview Mac and we would just be walking through the snow barefoot as we were doing the interview. So like we'd be hanging out with Mac, just walking around in the snow barefoot, which would have led to me being very sick, but probably worth, probably worth it. And then we probably would have done like, the idea was like,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
What did you say and what did Marcus say to you after the game in the middle of the field?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
You shouldn't have a rooting interest in the national championship game, but it would be fair to assume that you'd like Notre Dame to win, correct? Just because of the fact that you would then be the only team that beat the national champion. I imagine his kids are aware of it, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
You will. You will always have that memory, and that's something that will last for you and the kids for a long time, no doubt about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
have a content, a quote unquote content house. And it was really just because this was like our cost efficient pitch was like, well, if we get like an Airbnb and there's like three of us going, three or four of us going, we just put everyone in the same thing. We save hundreds of dollars on hotels that way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Yeah, we're going. Big matchup between you and Michigan this week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Coach, I'm sorry. I'm sorry you have to deal with this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Oh, God. Stop it. Coach, just go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I appreciate you stopping in. Leave before it gets too crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Thanks. Thank you, Coach.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
What a day. In all honesty, what a day for them that had to be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Yeah, yeah. Not many people giving Notre Dame a chance, that's for sure. But, hey, we're in the game. And I think it'll be a hell of a game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
yeah uh mike we'll let you go here in just a second just back to marcus freeman nfl i he'd be crazy he is good mike if you win a national championship at notre dame it will never get better and bigger than that for him he'll never be more relevant than he is again it comes down to what your goals are if you want if you want to coach at the highest level that's the nfl if that's a goal of marcus freeman's and eventually he gets the chance to he may take it because that's a goal it's just like a player a player would like to play in the nfl that's the goal
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
And to hope to make it. So if that's a coach's goal and they get the opportunity and he takes it, I would be bummed he left Notre Dame. But I would be happy that he got to achieve a goal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I'll risk it. Again. I'll risk it being bad for the Golik family. Believe me. Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
That's okay. I've had a good run.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
So it's like, okay, well, we'll just like, we'll say we'll do this interview with Mac, which he claims he was going to get done. And then we'll like, I don't know, live watch along, you know, the Saturday night game or something. I think Texans Chiefs. Right. And there was no Commanders Lions. Wow. What a game that was. We'll get to that in a minute.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
And then on Sunday, because we didn't get approved for credentials, it was almost a benefit because it was like, OK, cool, like full party mode game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
in the snow in the bills parking lot um and then maybe i pay some penances for my sins against josh allen maybe i go through a table maybe it's on fire who knows just try some ketchup and mustard yeah that was probably gonna be see i draw the line there i draw the line there too like that was gonna be my line just because i then have to like because then it becomes like ketchup and mustard icicles on me all day long and like
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Going through a table. Okay. Catching on fire. My wife's not listening. Okay. Like I'm fine with, with these things, you know, uh, yeah. Eat a disgusting amount of like food. And, and like, since, you know, I'm not credentialed, maybe, you know, consume any drink that I'm handed, like fine. That's part of the job that day, but the ketchup and mustard was going to be my line. So.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
it didn't end up spoiler alert. I'm here in my house. That trip didn't get approved. So it never happens. Uh, but to answer your question, yeah, I, the idea of it for a day seems like fun. Like, so as someone who's not like a, you know, snow person, obviously because of where I live, um, my wife a couple of years ago was like, I want to see snow. She had never seen snow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
So she wanted to see snow. So I told her, like, pick a place. And this was for like a birthday present. Her birthday is in December. So I said, for your birthday, pick a place and we'll go to, you know, hopefully see snow like, you know, after Christmas this year. So she ended up picking Chicago and we had no idea how terrible Chicago is at that time of year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I already see where this is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
the wind chill i already know where you went wrong wind chill is like negative 15 it's on a lake you know this and the wind really the windy city really picks up there is horribly cold so my uh my thing on snow is it's fun for like the first hour and a half and then it's like okay this is terrible why did we do this and i don't know if you're the same way i mean you need to you need to save your family you're trapped in the house are there any errands let me ask you and we're
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Guys, I promise we're going to get to football. But sure, this is the important stuff. The errands that are not being done today because you're snowed in until you go out and clear the path. Are any of them your errands?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Of course not.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
OK, of course. So it benefits you to go out and do that. And then you theoretically would have the house somewhat to yourself or you will like the busy bodies will be gone.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Maybe kids are off today. So same errands are going to get run. And the kids solo and the kids stay home with me. And honestly, that's that's kind of what I'm putting off, because while they're ready to go run and frolic and play in the snow for hours, I am with you where it's like, OK, this was fun for a half an hour up. You hit daddy with a snowball. I hit you with a snowball. Let's go in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
They're like, no, let's now build a snow fort and a snowman and go sledding down this minor hill. And then let's drive to the big hill where we can go to sledding a thousand times. And my little guy is going to go a hundred miles an hour and I'm going to have to run down the hill to make sure he's okay. And then have a heart attack trying to walk my fat ass back up the hill and
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
So that, you know, that's what it is. And so I would much rather run errands and shovel snow than deal with a kid's snow day for the entirety of the day.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Why don't you volunteer to do the errands? Say, hey, to you, I'm like, hey, you know, like you could, you could really use a break. I see like you're, why don't you stay in?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Because my wife knows, because my wife knows, like it's, You're not fooling her. You're not telling her, I'll run the errands to give you a break. She goes, no, the errands are the break. She knows.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
You know what's funny? And by the way, Texans 14, Chiefs 23, Patrick Mahomes continues to just get every call. Even when he's not getting hit, it's roughing the pass running.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
You know what? Listen, I want to get back to the snow stuff. But that fake flop he did where he was trying to get the call and didn't get one, that's the kind of thing that will make you not like him. Because you get every call. You don't need to sell one. You get every call. And I get it. The refs did this. Okay, I get it. But, like, you don't need to make a bad situation worse.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
The perception is already you get every call. Don't flop. Please don't flop.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Well, the one where the two Texans hit themselves in the helmet and he ducked under both of them and Troy Aikman nearly lost it. He was just kind of wandering around there in the middle of the field looking to get hit. It sounds like a crazy thing to say, but once you see it and you're looking for it, it's like, okay, he's trying to just get hit here. Hard, soft, but he's just looking to get hit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Which, by the way, and we'll get to it in a minute, Our friend Josh Allen, not immune to that criticism either. He just doesn't get the same number of calls that Patrick Mahomes gets for whatever reason. Also, big storyline of that game. Huge storyline of the game that we haven't gotten to yet. Kalen Clark was sitting next to Taylor Swift, so that has now been covered.

From big-time Swifty to now, I guess, friend for a day, Kalen Clark and Taylor Swift.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
How did that happen? Like I would call two to be like, like did Taylor say, Hey Caitlin, you should come to a game with me one day. No. And Caitlin was like, so the playoffs. And he was like, Oh, I don't know that we're, we're playoff suite friends. I was thinking more like week seven against the Panthers. You should come to the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
So I'm thinking and I don't know this, obviously, how how would I know this? And we have we have we'll get to winners and losers. This is going to be a winner and loser. We'll get to that in a minute. I think what happened there was and it could be wrong. I would imagine that there was somehow a Kelsey connection there, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Like maybe she met Jason or someone crossed paths with Travis, and then they're like, oh, we should get you out to this game. And I don't want to... Look, I think it's documented. Taylor Swift was not a huge sports fan before this, right? Like we kind of know this. So I'm going to say... that maybe they met yesterday or they had maybe met once or twice in passing before.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
But I'm thinking maybe Saturday was their first like time hanging. And as you could see, like it started out like Caitlin was in the back of the booth and then it was like, hey, right up here up front next to Taylor. Maybe they, you know, trying to stay warm, had a couple of drinks or whatever, just hanging out, just became close friends. And then they're hugging at the end of the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
And really, you know, I like to say shout out to Brittany Mahomes, who just, you know, just delivered a baby. They just had another child, the Mahomes family. Congratulations. What a blessing. But I was seeing early Taylor and Britney vibes there between Caitlyn and Taylor. So hopefully Britney doesn't get out of the picture for having a child. That would be horrible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
And I hope, thoughts and prayers, that's the situation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I still want to see if Taylor will stay with Kelsey if they lose. She's only known winning, and it's really bothering me because I don't really want the Chiefs to lose, especially considering who they're playing now in my allegiance. But at the same time, part of me wants to know if Taylor... Like, if Taylor's on the cusp of breaking up with... Just hypothetically.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
I'm not reporting anything, please. If she's on the cusp of breaking up with him, like... It's a bad look if she waits till after they lose because it's like, well, you were just in it for the Super Bowls.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: American Coffee and Marcus Freeman's scent
Well, she could be the villain in that story, especially if they make it to the Super Bowl again and lose the Super Bowl.

Well, then she's the bad guy. Wow, imagine like a Taylor Swift heel turn. You know, like she becomes like NWO Hulk Hogan. Yeah. I don't think that our fans would. I don't think our fans would allow that to happen, though. You know, like she's going to be the wrestler that never goes bad, which like there's not a ton of them.

I think he added the detail of when this happened because there was a lot of fan blowback to him posting himself on a relaxing vacation during the All-Star break. So if he frames it as, I was actually playing hurt, I needed this relaxation, people were just getting in his mentions for having a good time away from the sport. So I think that that's part of the intention there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I can understand how that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
I don't think it's the dumbest thing. I think injecting Brad Marchand, but he's not really playing. So I don't think that's what's happening. I think what's happening here is Aaron Ekblad, because of performance enhancers, turned into a really good player for Florida. And we've seen these dips in form from Florida this season when Aaron Ekblad is not at his performance enhancing best.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
And right now they miss Aaron Ekblad. And that's what's happening. Also, this is a natural dip in form after they set the world on fire. And yeah, they've lost three out of four. In the middle of that, they beat Toronto in Toronto. Comeback victory in its own right against a team that's in the division right now that's presently chasing them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

This is exactly where you want this dip to happen in the season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
That's right. That's right. I do get a little angry in the group chat. And this is me like coming out anti-Homer's like, well, yeah, shocking that Aaron Eckblad's out and we suffer. And this is all because Aaron Eckblad's out. But you have to kind of acknowledge that Aaron Eckblad was what you think he is because of clearly performance enhancers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
I think so. I think he's part of the nostalgia circuit, too. There's a lot of people that maybe, as the game evolved, have aged out of following the sport day to day, but Rick Pitino is like, I know that guy. Yeah. And he's doing it with a smaller program. And people just like to either root for brands at this time of year or one of the few recognizable faces. It's such a transient sport.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
Like, this is crazy. Oh, my Jarvis and them boys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
College basketball is a very difficult sport to follow, even if you're a fan of it. And Rick Pitino does numbers. He is often aggregated. The social channels, if you follow all the college basketball sites that you should, and Rick Pitino is probably the person that's pushed out the most.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
So it's been a connection point for a lot of people throughout this season, one of the few storylines that you can get a grip on. Like I said, if you love college basketball and you have a team that you're following, it's easy to follow your own conference and the teams that you're playing. But there are so many games and so many legitimately good teams. It's not like college football.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
There's so much wealth distributed that to be locked in on everything this time of year, you have to be an absolute sicko.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
So Marchand will probably be back before the playoffs. That's the expectation. Kachuk will return with the playoffs. Ekblad's suspension carries him two games into the postseason, and then Ekblad is back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
So during the postseason, you're going to have those three talents essentially all coming into your lineup around the same time, and you would imagine that the form will be much better when the playoffs roll around for the Panthers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
But I am shocked because the Panthers, their whole thing is if they have a two goal lead, they never lose that game in regulation. And now we've seen it. And you can understand the emotion of the Bruins won and Florida was just so hot there that it had to give out at a certain time. But the Islanders loss is pretty troubling. This is a pretty difficult road stretch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
probably the most difficult stretch in their calendar when it comes to travel, quick turnarounds, and you certainly don't want to have a less deeper team for it. But I know I'm the guy that originated the Marchand take. It's something to keep an eye on. But I think this has more to do with Eckblad and the current congestion of their schedule.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
There is a chance that Toronto catches them in this division, despite that result that Florida had directly against Toronto. And that'll make it interesting in the playoffs. Right now, most people have their eye on the Kachuk brothers potentially playing in the first round. It may not get to that point if the Cats don't win their division.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
I know what you're doing. We don't know when this happened with Eckblad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
All right. So you went exactly where I thought you were going to go. Ekblad was a different player in the postseason last year than he was this regular season. It was a pretty clear and obvious night and day to the point that you're asking, man, was he just really, really hurt during the postseason?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
Last two postseasons, Aaron Ekblad hasn't been very good and he certainly wasn't the player that he was before. This season in particular... It was a revelation. I don't know when the sample was. There's that curious Islanders Reddit post that was circulating about someone just posting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
I think there's a PED thing going on with the Panthers, and it's going to end up reversing the championship game. That's all people have right now. I don't know when their sample was for him to test positive for performance enhancers, but I will say this season, he's looked the best he has in several seasons for Florida, and it made all the sense in the world when that press release came through.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
What I don't like so much about it is you had those things happen at the same time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
Canada is definitely with you. You had the Panthers finally taking advantage of the long-term IR that all the teams that they were chasing. Vegas beat them in a Stanley Cup because of it. The Tampa Bay Lightning eliminated them because they took advantage of it. Now all of a sudden Florida's playing that game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
Then you bring in Brad Marchand, who leans into everything that they say about the Panthers and Sam Bennett and Kachuk. And now you don't really have much of a defense because at least you could say, well, we're at least better than Boston. Now we're not. And then you add the Ekblad thing. All these things happen within a couple of days.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

for sure I don't like this one bit I don't like it because yeah what Billy said outside of it taking a fairly ridiculous turn was actually true they felt like the Panthers did this the right way they didn't take advantage of the long term IR they went through these evil dastardly teams and now it's just it is a vibe reversal that I'm not necessarily comfortable with I like the scrappy underdog Florida Panthers that had to go through teams taking advantage of loopholes and now they've become one yeah

The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
But you wanted to see him make a big putt given his reputation, and Spahn just made it so easy by playing so poorly that we didn't actually have to see Rory conquer demons at the players. Like the story won't be at all, Rory did it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
He did that at 17. I didn't like it. I thought it was a bad omen that he took his pants off and took a shit at the tee box. That was not good juju. Might as well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Batman Logo (feat. Sam Morril)
Have you seen what 17 looks like? That's essentially a mini-golf game. It's a ridiculous hole.

Are any of your takes going to be rooted in reality?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Regular season starting to wind down. Games of consequence in sports starting to ramp up. I know what you're going to need by your side. It's by my side already. Miller Lite. Yeah, that's right. I'm making my springtime a Miller time. I'm making my sports time Miller time. Going to a car race? Miller time. Going to see some tennis? Miller time.

Going to chill in the backyard with some friends and make some memories? Miller time. I love Miller Lite because it's got taste that I know I can depend on. No games, no gimmicks. It's that simple, folks. It's just a great beer for people who like beer. Miller Lite is brewed for taste. It hits different than the other light beers.

It's got simple ingredients, and at just 96 calories, 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces, Miller time is always a good time. The original light beer since 1975, and still the very best one. Miller Lite, great taste, 96 calories. Go to MillerLife.com slash Dan to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Miller Life pretty much anywhere they sell beer. Tastes like Miller time.

I have a take on this. I have a take on this. This is an old person thing. Yeah. It's an old person thing. Hell, it's not even that much of an old person thing. It's like I'm in a relationship kind of thing and she handles my entire calendar. I've been on emails where Dan's just like, CC Valerie. I've been the person that's been like, just text Cynthia and figure it out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

This is just an old person relationship thing. I don't have control of my schedule anymore. I don't have the energy or bandwidth to fight over it because I'm disorganized. Just CC her, my life's a lot easier.

Is Otani pitching this year, or did they decide they're not going to do that anymore?

Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
Yeah. If I had to guess, this is a timer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
I think Juan Soto's pitching with the contract that they gave him. I saw Joey Gallo said he's pitching now. It's something he said.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
they're not on hard knocks they're doing their own thing yeah it's it's not hard knocks branded but they're still going to be doing a show that's kind of invasive okay my point is as he doesn't have any practice uh jersey numbers on which i know this seems like revolutionary he did it in new england let me just say randy shannon did this down here it was a disaster it's just it's terrible for the coaches they're all wearing helmets how can you tell

What does that mean? I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
I'm not getting into that. How am I supposed to know? They seem pretty serious, and he seems oddly flexible for his age. Put a ring on that finger. It's IG official. That's not nothing. Yeah, I'm not – this is somehow more reckless than the LeBron thing. What's reckless? Does she love him?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
I don't know if Joey Gallo was trying to pull a fast one on me, but he did say on social media that he's pitching now.

Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
Ben, I'm going to be your friend here. You got some blind spots here, pal. All right? There's some blind spots here. Like, Valerie helps you out a ton with stuff. Like, she is your anchor. Like, this is – I think that's all that's happening right here. She's his manager. She's his partner. And they're doing partner things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
She's young. She posts. She's that IG age. I think we're acting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
You're going to love it. He's always been lovey-dovey with long-term girlfriends. He's dressed up as pirates. I saw him at the Gronk Beach House. He loves to have a good time, and he's super public. This is the first time he's dated someone that's a little bit more active when it comes to social media posting. But Bill Lowkey has always kind of been like this. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
It's a thing that happens a lot. To me, the interesting part about this is whether or not it succeeds or fails, or if he even gives it long enough to do that. In college, staffs generally need like three years to put their program in place. He is approaching this differently. In terms of talent acquisition, it hasn't gone the way that most people think it would have gone.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
It's still super early, and it's hard to judge when a new coach jumps in in an offseason like that. But, okay, you think that you're smarter. You think hiring your friends like Lombardi is going to work out for you on this level, and I'm really interested to see if it actually does.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
I mean, well, because he's going to die first, obviously. Is that what you're getting at? She could be there for his forever. I mean, Billy, you were skeptical of their love. I mean.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
It's not his network. He goes on the boat. He goes to parties. He's a fun guy. He for sure calls it supper, too. There's stew involved.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
Well, also his approach is more of like a development. I'm really good at developing players. Tom Brady was a six-round draft pick. I'm going to scout guys. I'm going to have these gems that you find and develop them. But that takes time. Does the oldest coach have time? Does what he brings in with his prestige afford him that kind of time?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
Does he get bored with it and wants to jump back to the NFL? Or does this experience make him a bigger punchline in the NFL? And he's probably closing those doors that he still seemingly is interested in walking through.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
He's going to attempt what the vision, at least for year one, is I have a coaching advantage because I'm the greatest head coach of all time. When the bright lights go on that Monday night against TCU, you know you've got the smarter coach on your sideline and certainly the more prestigious one. And I will develop these kids.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
I mean, if I'm a college football fan, that's all I have to believe in right now for North Carolina because that's all he's shown me. He's not walking in the door with Travis Hunter. And I think that's a little bit of a surprise. But again, he's not from this world. At least Deion was at Jackson State. He knew how to recruit talent. He knew how to walk in the door with a lot of talent.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
It's a whole new base level of skill that he's got to learn or at least build a program good enough that it makes it easier for him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
He's a better head coach than all of them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***

Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
Yeah. Love Brent Prye. Are you kidding me?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
Well, they owe Miami, and whenever he's overmatched, he will design a game plan to actually try to make that a winnable game for Georgia Tech.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
Yeah, easily. Well, at least I know Lombardi feels that way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
Bill's the best coach in college football in terms of X's and O's.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
It matters. I actually do think it matters. As a fan of a program that is often inside that conference more talented than its opponents, but there's deficiencies at head coach in terms of tactical advantage, we've lost to a ton of opponents over the last 21 years that quantifiably have smarter staffs than Miami. And the talent gap, you see the composite recruiting rankings.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
Miami's only been to Charlotte once. So I've been trying to be a little healthier here at the start of the year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
No, I watched it. I know that you were always like really big on The Shield. I'm getting to it. Oh, what? Get around to it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

So Laugh Riot and Nosferatu, let me tell you. Let me ask you something. At what age did you decide not to use first names anymore? Goggins? McBride?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
You're not supposed to call attention to that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
Because he's technically right, and it's a smart thing to do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
I don't really know Jim all that much. I've been in places with him, but I haven't had a long conversation with him.

That's why he's gone. Didn't kiss the ring.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
It really seems like they had to pry a lot out of you, Billy. I know how this one goes. It's Billy's idea. Then he wants someone else to do it. Falsehoods. And then he's like, all right, I'll do it. Falsehoods.

Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
Yeah, well, I mean, you can watch it with me if you'd like, but I got an eye towards this. Yeah, we got three. It's a back three, right? It's the final three holes, so that means the Island Green's going to Rear its ugly head here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

We're asking. He's a golden cane, I think. I don't know if that means something.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

No, it's not fake. It's back. If Otani is playing a meaningful game in Japan, you lock in. It's real.

They've been there. That's a screen that's on all the time for them.

GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
This is my Super Bowl. Draft is my Super Bowl. Yeah, as a Jets fan, this is when we win. We win because everybody's going to tell us how good of a pick we had. And a few years from now, that person will be either on another team or out of the league. But for right now, we'll win. And I'm looking forward to that feeling.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Well, we need a headline from you, Billy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
We're also going to have to point out that one of the biggest knocks on Bryce Young is that he was... A smaller, diminutive fella for the quarterback position. So the fact that he's talking about growing and building is kind of ironic in and of itself.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
But I'll take it the direction he intended. And... I do think I've seen enough of him at the end of last year to think he could take a big leap. Now, the problem is I don't know who's catching the ball over there. It's Xavier Leguette, who is everybody's favorite mind-included player in the NFL to hear speak, and the ageless Adam Thielen. But, like, you got to get that guy somebody, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
to throw the ball to. So he's got to get him a whoopee, somebody that no matter what, I'm just going to give it to him. And they don't have that. It's hard to take that leap without that security blanket.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
No, that's kind of a thing, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
It's somewhere. It's somewhere.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Every time I have to go because I never go in that closet. It's one of those when you have to get your passports out. You have to go in that closet. I can't go in that closet without going down memory lane. Then the whoopee makes an appearance.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Yeah, I mean, he's not getting better.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
No, no, that's kind of an early 90s thing. That kind of stopped late 90s. They stopped booing the Jets draft pick. And every year now, it's the best player that's ever been in college. And the only reason he's on the Jets is because we're divine and we're going to win the championship. But we never do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Yeah, I think they'd take Cam Ward. Just because of his body size. Knowing what they know now, but I think if you were to put Cam Ward in that draft, I think they'd take Bryce Young.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Is Arch coming out? He doesn't have to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
No other Manning came out early.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
By the way, speaking of all this, our friends over at The Athletic, they did a lot of research. They crunched the numbers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
And they came up with this. Out of the last 25 years, 15 times the quarterback who was taken first in that draft wasn't the best quarterback in the draft.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
So only 10 times in the last 25 years was the quarterback taken first, the best quarterback from that draft.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
That were taken first and were the best? Yeah. Trevor Lawrence, Joe Burrow, Kyler Murray, Jameis Winston. Carson Palmer, Andrew Luck, Cam Newton, Sam Bradford, Matt Stafford, Matt Ryan. Those are the 10 that were considered the best. Now they used a lot of different metrics to... Yeah, who was in the Jameis draft?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
uh Marcus Mariota was number two I know that yeah now there there there are times where so like uh Jamarcus Russell was taken first but they have Trent Edwards listed as the best quarterback in that draft in other words hopefully your team did not draft a quarterback in 2007 yeah hmm
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
No. I think this is what he is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
I think he's a very high floor and very low ceiling guy. Is he good enough? Yeah, I think he's good enough. And I say this as a Jet fan, so please don't get mad at me Jacksonville Jaguars fans. He's good enough for Jacksonville. Okay. That's just what he is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Last year's version of Aaron Rodgers. Really? It's just perfect. It's all headline and no substance.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
I was hoping for it. I mean, considering other options, but by the way, side note on that list that the athletic came up with made me, made me think. So in 2018, the first quarterback taken was Baker Mayfield and they have a tie for who the best quarterback is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson. And I don't know who's better.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
I'm going to go through here. You guys want the list of other quarterbacks drafted in 2015 with Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota? I looked them up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Okay. In the third round, you had Garrett Grayson.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Remember that name? Stud. Then you had Sean Mannion. Sean Mannion. Yeah, Mannion of Los Angeles Rams. Well, St. Louis Rams, I think, at the time. Backup quarterback status. Then a Jets legend, Bryce Petty. Wow. Also in that draft. And Brett Hundley. And then to round it up in the seventh round, probably the best of the bunch, Trevor Simeon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Wow. Jameis Winston is the best of the bunch. Not by a mile. No, it's close. Trevor Simeon has an argument. Does he, though?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Yeah. He kicked around a few years in Minnesota. Denver, Chicago.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
But out of all these quarterbacks, the only starting caliber one, quotation marks, is Jameis, right? I guess Mariota had a season there, right, with the Falcons?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
That was 10 years ago, 2015.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
They hit, they just didn't hit there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Somebody hit, it just wasn't them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Cleveland didn't hit. I mean, they did, but just not with Cleveland. Baker.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Sure. Do you want to save it or do you want to get one or two out there?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
I want to bring up, as long as we're talking about the draft, let me bring up one thing. I want to propose a rule change for the NFL when it comes to the draft.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
And I think the first overall pick should be up for a bid. So all the teams can bid on it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
All 32 teams. And here's the catch to it. The money that you bid goes to the player all against the cap over a four-year deal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Well, unless they bid for the best player.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
No, 32. You just move up your spot. I don't like that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Now, I'll make this even bigger for you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
This becomes a live auction event. Day of? Televised. Live auction event. We'll call it the day before.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
but it all goes to the player against the cap, and it's all on the cap. Yeah, that's how you have to do it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
If you don't have the cap space, you can't do it. Now you could get into some tomfoolery, some gamesmanship. And now suppose I know that the team in my division wants a quarterback, but I have all this cap space. Maybe I bid them up. Maybe I just keep raising the bid with no intention of winning it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
It's a televised event. All 32 owners, and they have their little paddles. get a celebrity auctioneer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
This is a good, this is a good idea. This is, this is a Billy idea.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
I keep applying. They keep rejecting me. I've been getting a lot of that lately, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
The first day of free agency could definitely be in there. Thanksgiving football could definitely be in the trade deadline. No, the NFL trade deadline isn't as fun as the NBA or the MLB one. I would put free agency. It's like starting at noon on the legal tampering period, the first time they actually start talking to anybody, wink, wink, you just start refreshing Twitter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
I'm an ideas guy. As long as I get there, I'll make it work.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
We should do some anonymous sources.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Well, for those of you who listened last week, you remember Anonymous Sources is, I read just that, a quote from an anonymous source about a team in the NFL. Last year, we limited it to only AFC teams. This week, we're going to do all NFC teams. So these are all quotes from an anonymous source about a certain NFC team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
And you guys are going to tell me, you guys are going to guess which NFC team they're talking about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
That's exactly when it's happening.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Yeah. All right. Here's the first quote. Yeah. Quote, they are putting a lot of trust in their ability to draft. They are keeping the true difference makers and letting go of those they feel were overpaid now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
or resting on their laurels wow which nfc team is this anonymous executive referring to when he says quote they are putting a lot of trust in their ability to draft they are keeping the true difference makers and letting go of those who they feel are overpaid or resting on their laurels 49ers oh i'm gonna say uh los angeles rams
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
You just keep going until you see something and then you panic. So I'll definitely put free agency in there. As a matter of fact, that might be my number one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Billy Gill is the best at this game because he got so many right last week, and he's already won for one today. The San Francisco 49ers.

He's on assignment. All right. Whoa. I like what they have done. They have gotten better. I do not know how much we will see it in their record, though. If they win eight games, is that progress? Which NFC team are they referring to when they say that? Like what they have done, they've gotten better. I don't know how much we'll see it in their record. If they win eight games, is that progress?

Bears. I'll say the Chicago Bears.

When he first said it, I thought the Giants, and I go, have they really gotten that much better with Russell Wilson?

GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
All right, next one. Quote, there would be a lot about them that scares me, but it's not the players. I'll be curious with role players if there is a drop-off because you have to have a vision on how to deploy those guys.

It's not going to help. There would be a lot about them that scares me, but it's not the players. I'll be curious with role players if there's a drop off because you have to have a vision for how to deploy these guys.

We'll save repeats for the players one because... Little spoiler. We're going to probably play this at the draft.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
I'm going to say the Minnesota... The draft in Nashville? The draft in Nashville.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Come join us. I'm going to say the Minnesota Vikings.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Why would there be a drop-off?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Or maybe your coordinators. Well, I was thinking it could be the coordinators.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Can I change my answer? No. No, okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

They are going for it, one executive said. Their coach is like, let's go. I do respect that. It's a boldness that is not afraid to fail. Kind of like how Howie Roseman in Philly pouncing on Saquon Barkley. They are going for it. Their coach is like, let's go. I do respect that. It's a boldness that is not afraid to fail.

I love how this guy likes the coach saying, let's go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Sean McVay is a let's go coach.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
I didn't say final answer. Double or nothing. So it's not the Rams. We both had the Rams. So we'll guess again. Their coach is like, let's go. One more time, Mike.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: BREAKING NEWS (feat. JuJu Gotti)
close close I mean look would the put it this way would the Celtics be in the same position they were without Peyton Pritchard he's been so good though Pritchard shooting I mean is he shooting better than anybody in the league by percentage from three close to it would would the Pistons be the same without Malik Beasley

Dan Quinn's a big let's go guy. I feel like I was misled there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
All right, let's go. All right. Quote is a long one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Quote. There is a big push by the owners to stop firing people and eating all the dead money with coaches. Some owners are paying credence to that. If you have the most stable ownership, you come out and say, I believe in these guys. It's been a weird set of circumstances, but they are the right people. There is no way you can run a franchise going from a bad year to a playoff mandate.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
All right. So this is a team that has a long standing coach. obviously.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
So, um, there is a big push by the owners to stop firing people and eating all the dead money with coaches. Some owners are paying credence to that. If they have the most stable ownership, you come out and say, I believe in these guys. It's been a weird set of circumstances, but they are the right people. There is no way you can run a franchise going from a bad year to a playoffs mandate.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
hmm okay so it was a team that was bad coach been around huh nfc well i don't know if we're interpreting this the right way because it could be a team like the panthers it fires people every single year yeah i don't know mikey's eyes perked up when he said that so i'm gonna go panthers yeah i'm gonna go saints
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
You guys were more right the other way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
They just got a new coach. More right the other way. What the hell does that mean? The last question?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
If you have a more stable ownership, the owner can come out and say, quote, I believe in these guys. It's been a weird set of circumstances, but they are the right people. Weird set of circumstances. No. There is no way you can run a franchise going from a bad year to a playoffs as a mandate. The Giants?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Yeah, Dable's been around a while. I'll say the Giants.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
One more. Okay. Quote, they got a little better, but they are still working from a deficit. They were a three-year reset from last year. So this is just year two for them. This sounds like the Giants again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
It's not. Okay. They got a little better, but they're still working from a deficit. There were a three-year reset from last year. So this is just year two for them. I'm going to say the Arizona Cardinals.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
They got a little better, especially at the end of last year. A little better. But they were working from a deficit. They were in a three-year reset. You know, year three, big year. Big year for them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Year three is when you'd grow and build.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
They were a three-year reset from last year. So this is just year two for them. They got a little better.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Yeah, Panthers. I was spoon-feeding it to you guys. I gave all the Bryce Young quotes in there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Yes, it was the Panthers. Danny B turned around, and he was telling me, small guy got bigger. I'm like, that doesn't help me, Danny. That doesn't help me. Hey, you're cheating. No, Danny B gets a point. Danny B gets a point. Wait, you guys are cheating. No, no. I don't know what you're talking about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Sure. I got two more if you want two more.

Quote, it's like the 2015 cults all over again, signing older guys who have been hurt, who are on their third or fourth contracts. You cannot build a team with old players, especially old players who have been cut because they were hurt.

We already did them. We don't repeat. I thought we just mentioned that we were wrong.

Hold on. Give me a second. Guys that are hurt all the time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Playoff team from last year. Playoff team from last year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

No, you did the Rams. No, we didn't. No, we didn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
This time I mean the Rams, though, not the Rams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Seahawks were definitely not a playoff team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
No, think further north. Further north.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Green Bay, I love Green Bay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
That's exactly where you should be thinking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Yeah, that was pretty bad. Well, considering what that quote was, take a listen to this one. Quote, they are a well-run team, but what they want to do and what their fans want them to do are two different things right now. They are more serious about staying relevant and keeping that brand up high than they are about winning.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
They are buying low on former highly drafted picks, but how often do those guys really pan out? This sounds like the Dallas Cowboys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Hey, here's a headline. Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is using doubters as comeback fuel. That's right, folks. In a video he posted on his Instagram, he said, quote, everyone's doubting me. Everyone don't believe in me. Everyone don't think I can get back to where I was. But I know and I believe the work that I put in, what I believe in myself.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
I do. I'll run through them, and then you can run through yours.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Take your time, because I didn't do mine.

My number five Super Bowl is Thanksgiving. Very rarely do we get good matchups, and I'm always guilted for watching it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
By certain members of my family.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Gotta be faster. Let's go. We're good. Don't worry. My number four Super Bowl is the Super Bowl. It very rarely lifts up to the hype.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Pre-agency. It's exciting. It's exciting for a while.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
I agree with you. Number two, opening night.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
You really went for a long time on Thanksgiving. I was worried about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
My number one is the draft. Wow. And it's also next.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
So he thinks he's coming back to, I guess, play football at a mediocre level at some point. I don't know what he thinks he's coming back to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
On the calendar. Next on the calendar.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Houston? Clemson? Is that where he's going back to?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
I don't know. I think he was a senior. I think he was done. Yeah, I'm pretty sure he was done.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
All right. Is Deshaun Watson just kind of at this point a guy that you just kind of want to go away? I mean... Yes. I think everyone says yes. He's not good enough or exciting enough to even get past all the stuff, and then there's all the stuff. And it's like, just kind of go away. Like, I don't... I don't want to see it. I'm good. I'm good if I never heard from you again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
You're listening to DraftKings Network.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
This is a fantastic question. Wow. I'm going to go Justin Fields. Justin Fields could go back to college right now, run a college offense, rebuild his stock, and try and convince everybody that he is better than he was drafted the first time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Yes. I mean, listen, he's still, I mean, as much as I don't want him to be the quarterback of my team, and he is, he's still a grown man playing in a college sport. Like, he still has five years of NFL experience to bring to a college game. But, yeah, that's my answer. Justin Fields.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
I do, actually. I just thought about him right now. Is it another former Jets quarterback? No. I think he's a former NFL player at this point because I think he's out of the league. He last played in 2024 with the Eagles, but I'm going to say John Ross. You don't remember John Ross. John Ross ran a 4-2-2 at the combine. It was the fastest in history.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
And I believe just based on the speed, he can go back and just, you know, let's be real. He's going to line up against a bunch of future accountants and he's just going to burn them. And he's going to, you know, get a million yards and touchdowns. And he's been on NFL weight programs. And I think he would just ball out one more year of college.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
I didn't say he retired. He just said he was he was on a team last year. He's not officially retired.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
He would burn a bunch of college-level quarterbacks, score a bunch of touchdowns, and then they'd be like, eh, why not? A former first-round pick, 2017.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
I don't know. Kids are getting faster. I don't know if you've seen the combine the last two years. Kids are getting faster.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
He's the fastest ever. The fastest ever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Xavier Worthy would disagree. Xavier Worthy might disagree.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Xavier Worthy's in the NFL. He's playing right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
So it is the spirit of the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
God bless football, Fuentes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
In that vein, how about Brock Purdy? Brock Purdy going back to college. Wow. Now all of a sudden, maybe he's drafted first overall instead of last.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Well, you put him back in the Big 12, right? That's where he came from?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Yeah, maybe. No, probably not the SEC. In this hypothetical, he's still Brock Purdy, so people know that he's coming back from the 49ers, correct? That's a great question. Because if that's the case, there's definitely an SEC team that's going to drop an NIL bag for him to go play.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
I think he could have been a Saban Alabama quarterback. I think he could be that random LSU quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
AJ McCarron is what you think he is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Are we not sending him out west? We can't see him at USC? Yeah, he could be a USC guy. I could see him at USC.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
No, a Cal Golden Bear. A Cal Golden Bear? A Cal Golden Bear, sure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Yeah, but I don't think he's going to get drafted number one overall, even if he is Brock Purdy and we know what he is. The problem with him going to Nebraska. Texas?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
But the problem with him going to Nebraska, as we all know, there must always be a Martinez at quarterback in Nebraska.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Oh, yes. My headline. Give me one moment to pull it up here. It's a very, very stunning headline from sources that Jets' Alan Lazard will take a pay cut to $2.25 million base salary to stay with the New York Jets. Very sad for the Alan Lazard free agent market.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
uh well is it is it that there's no market or he's such a great team player because i would say it's because there's no market uh he specifically requested a trade and they were like yeah okay go find one and then here we are weeks later and not only is he staying with the team but he's like listen you can pay me less oh that's that's what we call overplaying your hand
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Al Lazard, you overplayed your hand. You went out, you thought, oh, everybody's going to want me, especially wherever Rodgers goes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Did you just call Aaron Rodgers Tom Brady?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
You did call him Tom Brady, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
yeah it's been a week so apparently yeah apparently uh alan lazard was going to be a casualty a cap casualty of the jets as he was slated to make 11 million dollars in base salary this coming up year it was not guaranteed oh wow so they basically said hey buddy listen either you're doing that contract or you're out of here he then reduced it to 2.25 million and he gets 1.75 million guaranteed wow do you think he spins it he's like you know what i was talking to coach glenn
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
And he's probably like, my wife loves it here. The kids are in school. I don't want to move them again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Yeah. I mean, the Jets win one. They win one here. Do they? Sure. Sure. Here's a guy who thought he was going to go out, and the only reason that he was having trouble was because he was a jet. And that's happened to a lot of people. But now everybody's like, no, you're just not good. He's like, okay, I'll take a pay cut. I'll stay here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Everybody's favorite third rounder, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
Yeah, that's what he'd be. He'd be the one that everybody goes, hey, watch out for this guy, Lazard, in the third round.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Top 5 Super Bowls of the Year
And you get him in the fourth round, you think, man, we got a bargain. Can't believe we got him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Hour 2: Do You Feel Like You Won?
Don't let off the gas. Keep scoring. Keep scoring until you get that final out, and we were able to do that tonight. We don't give up until the last out's made. I think what I like best is we just found a way to win.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Matthew Kugler Dance Video (feat. John Amaechi)
No, I think he's putting his foot down because he just has to at that point because Nico was engaging in a holdout at that point. Mario Cristobal spoke about this, was asked, a lot of coaches are going to be asked about this, like, what would you do if this situation's like, they have to go. You can't establish that precedent.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Matthew Kugler Dance Video (feat. John Amaechi)
what they had invested in this player and what his ceiling is. Remember, he's still very young in his development. They're not happy about this. So I don't think it's like I'm making an example about a guy that didn't yet live up to expectations. I kind of think that he did. He's progressing fine. We all thought he would be a little bit better. But he's 20, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Matthew Kugler Dance Video (feat. John Amaechi)
We thought that that offense would look closer to what it looked like at the start of the season by the end of it, and that wasn't necessarily the case.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Matthew Kugler Dance Video (feat. John Amaechi)
Are there upgrades potentially available around the nation? I don't know. When you talk about availability, it is just going to be funny when they no doubt get in the weeds and talk to people that perhaps won't even enter the portal, right? And they're going to play a pretty dirty game in trying to upgrade at that position too. But I understand why Josh Heupel said this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Matthew Kugler Dance Video (feat. John Amaechi)
Mario Cristobal's direct quote was, I don't care if it's the best player in the nation, you can't have this going on. Now he might have figured that out from our experience with Tyler Van Dyke a couple of years ago, where this popped up during a spring window and Tyler Van Dyke wasn't really in the portal, but was invoking some of these things like he may look to go elsewhere.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Matthew Kugler Dance Video (feat. John Amaechi)
Miami did indeed bring him back. Look, there's a lot of people that flirt with this, that leverage their NIL collectives that you never hear about entering the portal. I would say the vast majority of people that have NIL deals leverage situations that they're technically not allowed to because they're not in the portal yet. It's the threat of going into the portal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Matthew Kugler Dance Video (feat. John Amaechi)
And to Jess's earlier point, they still don't have this settlement. Many people, if I'm representing a student athlete that can command big NIL money, I would say this might be our last chance to fully max out here on a market that is still pretty wild and unsettled.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Matthew Kugler Dance Video (feat. John Amaechi)
Before RevShare comes in and before people get started being slotted into cap spots, you may want to go out there and maximize your leverage while you still can.

credit card readers as specifically at gas stations that if you insert your card i always anytime i go to a gas station now i fiddle with the uh the credit card reader a little bit and one time i found one of the fake ones that was there to scan the card it just so happens i go to a gas station that the scanner wasn't working because i'd much rather tap so you had to insert so at that one i would always play with it and one time one of those fake contraptions that was sealing people's identities fell off i'm like oh my god i'm glad i watched that
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Matthew Kugler Dance Video (feat. John Amaechi)

There was an excerpt I read from a person that was in Donald Trump's previous administration that tried to repeatedly, because every time they would talk about jobs, Donald Trump has a perspective when it comes to manufacturing, that Americans want to work in factories, that there is some dignity in this. And it's like an America of a bygone age.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Matthew Kugler Dance Video (feat. John Amaechi)
And he would pull all the data and tell them every time, nobody wants to work in factories. People are more likely to up and quit their job if it's at a factory more than any other industry. But there is a general disconnect. And it's not just Donald Trump, because you may think that that's coded.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Matthew Kugler Dance Video (feat. John Amaechi)
I actually saw a study in which Americans think here's Americans would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing. Eighty percent of Americans agreed with this study. I would be better off if I worked in a factory. Only 25% of Americans agree.

I actually go to Talladega because I wanted to stay in the infield because it's NASCAR's biggest party on the circuit. And I waited a little too long to do that. Apparently, you got to get that request in for a long time.

But thankfully, my partners at DraftKings heard that this was something that I was interested in, worked something out with NASCAR. So I'm going to go there in a camper with three of my friends to Talladega Super Speedway for the most bonkers race weekend. the NASCAR Cup Series has to offer. It is a trip that I've really wanted to take for quite some time.

It is a dream and it's all being made possible because of DraftKings. Camper? You're doing a camper? We got a camper. We got premium RV passes. It's incredible. There's concerts. It's the biggest party on the circuit. So I'm looking very much forward to this.

The Mission Impossible series is one of the few franchises that gets better and better, consistently raising the bar with set pieces, story, location, and character. This is a franchise that I've argued in the past should have won the Best Picture award. Tom Cruise consistently is upping himself and raising that bar with each Mission Impossible film as the real.

Practical stunts continue to push the envelope in new record-setting ways.

Listen, boys, we got to talk about Jägermeister, a go-to guy at home, at the bar, or maybe even out at the rink. A drink so ice cold, it deserves its own video tribute at every sports bar across North America. No trash talk, no running its mouth. We love the confidence on them. Jägermeister sent us an ad to read on the show, but they're so confident they said, don't do any of that normal ad stuff.

Tell the listeners two things. Jägermeister is great, but everyone's been drinking it wrong. Damn, that's cold. Well, how should we be drinking it? They're so glad you asked.

I do like them both. I don't like them equally. I like South Park more. But South Park also, being a cable show, could get away with more than Simpsons, which starting in the early 90s was on network television, appealing to certain family aspects that South Park didn't have to. I'm really excited that South Park is coming back, given everything that's going on in the teaser. 27 years? 28 years?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Corporate Cleansing
The teaser that they dropped is really South Park getting back to... pop culture commentary, satire. So I'm really excited about that. I'm more of a South Park guy. I never really was a Family Guy guy, even though it was pretty funny.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Corporate Cleansing
There was that South Park episode where they basically accused their writers of that being a bunch of manatees that would just randomly pick different balls floating up in a tank to do their sketch. And I thought they did that very smartly. But I'm a South Park guy.

I gotta tell you, they have... Keep your eye on the ball, though. This is just like the Gulf of America thing. That's why that placard's still in that office.

Local Hour: The Corporate Cleansing
A round of ice cold Jagermeister shots. Damn, that's cold. Because apparently, we've all been drinking Jägermeister wrong. Well, how should we be drinking it? We should be drinking it ice cold. At zero degrees Fahrenheit. Roy, like Jägermeister, what else is infinitely better ice cold? The sport of hockey, Mike. It's in the name. It's ice hockey. Ice hockey. Yes, regular hockey, not as great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Corporate Cleansing
I guess it played out perfectly because I didn't really know how badly I wanted to see him have that moment. I just knew that I wanted to see him overcome adversity. And for a while there on the front nine, it looked like he wasn't going to have to because he had been dominating so much.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Corporate Cleansing
For him to falter the way that he did, which was so on brand and replicates so many of the great collapses that he's had in his career, and still overcome with great shots, it meant so much because of... how it had to go down for him to really conquer those demons in profound ways. And it was high drama. I mean, you got people hooting and hollering for golf at bars. It's crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

It's rare when that sport delivers in that way. It was the first playoff since 2017, and it was shaping up to be such a dramatic Sunday, and Bryson was going to be that guy.

Local Hour: The Corporate Cleansing
a potential all-time great chasing Rory and being the obstacle and Bryson had his meltdown and you thought okay well Rory's just going to be consistent the entire time and that's how he's going to put all these criticisms to bed but I kind of want to see him have to deal with it I want to see him make a pressure-filled putt I want to see him miss a pressure-filled putt and then come back and hit great shots and nail a pressure-filled putt and I
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Corporate Cleansing
Rose had the day that he had. It was kind of weird because he was out on the range. You would have loved for the pairing and that additional pressure to be like literally right on top of him. But man, that was just majestic. That was a great, great tournament the entire time. That was a great final round, especially the back nine. I'm so happy that it played out the way that it did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Corporate Cleansing
And it is pretty rare. There are no upset golf fans. Even if you're a live golf guy, even if you hate Rory, you understand what that story meant. There is not a single person that even casually follows golf that isn't super overjoyed for Rory McIlroy. And I'm so happy Rory met that moment with the emotion that everybody watching attached to it because he was very clearly wearing it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Corporate Cleansing
It may not have been visible as he's walking down 16, 17. He can pick up on that, but the emotional release of that moment was an all-time payoff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Corporate Cleansing
Oh, yeah. That's tough. I had pretty much everybody but Rory. I was betting for Rory to collapse and lost a ton.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

This may come as a shock. I also like Bryson DeChambeau, despite him doing a lot of things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Corporate Cleansing
It's the only way. it could have maybe been a little bit better.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Corporate Cleansing
Scheffler had a good final round, but the only way that it could have been better for me is if the person that was applying the pressure was paired with him. And they're going shot for shot. That was what the whole appeal was. That's what it was looking like. Oh, man. Bryson and Rory have been going shot for shot this entire tournament. Hopefully they deliver on Sunday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Corporate Cleansing
Bryson didn't hold up his end of the deal because that's an additional pressure. Now you're going to try to have to make this putt with Bryson DeChambeau over your shoulder. It's a different kind of pressure, and it's the only way that you could have framed it a little bit cooler.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Corporate Cleansing
Yeah, he fell back to the tide. There were guys that had great rounds, Scheffler among them, but they had to make up too much ground there. I hear you. I don't disagree. I'd much rather Scotty Scheffler be standing over his shoulder, but the distance between them heading into the final round was such that it was Bryson.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Corporate Cleansing
That was supposed to be the guy that held up his end of the deal, and he didn't.

We did not secure this video. Babs on the mic did. Babs on the mic did and we borrowed it. I think we were among the first to introduce it to others. We're pretty sure this is Bill Belichick. It's not just Bill Belichick. It's clearly Bill Belichick. I can confirm. And what he's doing there is the Tibbs workout. Have you heard Brian Scalabrini say what the Tibbs workout is?

Still goes into the weight room. What do you think he benches?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Verzeih mir, weil ich nicht... Du hast gesagt, Tibbs ist nicht groß. Und ich denke an ihn als sechs Fuß. Ich denke nicht an ihn als kurz. Ich denke an ihn als kurz, als an die Leute, die er neben mir steht. Ich denke, er ist sechs Fuß groß. Ich denke... Habe ich das falsch? Ich weiß, er ist... Ich weiß, er ist...

The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
I think that he's been made ragged by the sport and lived a single life for long enough. I'm going to say 30 years in basketball will make him look 75, but he's 57.

Er sieht gut aus! Put it on the pole. At Levitard Show, is anyone looking at Timson saying, I've got to get on that guy's plan? Please keep that sound behind me for the rest of the show. Of just that creaking. It's my favorite audio. Let's keep doing that to Pablo. Don't tell Pablo that we're going to do it and see if he points out at any point. Hey, what's that sound, guys?

The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Sie haben keine Bench, was das größte Problem ist. Es sind nicht nur sechs Jungs. Es sind drei Viertel in diesem Spiel. Denver hat andere Jungs, die Freethrows bekommen. Es ist nur Shea. Es ist nur Shea. Es ist nur Shea. Aber sie schlagen dich runter. Und was du nicht bemerkst, ist, oh mein Gott.

And we can say Bill Belichick clearly now in retrospect. leaving Jordan's apartment. She may have been 19. Pablo Torre finds out.

The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Little bird out there. The thing about Tatum, I guess you could say it's an indictment. Because I could also say that team is so well built and wins by so much that there aren't very moments to be had at the end of games. They don't need them to win. It's almost one of the greatest compliments I can give if they weren't ruining basketball by being better at math than everybody.

Warum werden so viele 3's jetzt genommen? Jemand muss etwas darüber machen. Versteht ihr das? Eines der lustigsten Dinge, wenn ich über D'Antoni spreche, gibt es einen tollen Geräusch von seinem Bruder. Schaut, ob ihr ihn finden könnt. Über die Stupide, wie wir für Jahre Basketball gespielt haben.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Bringt Patrick Ewing, um einen konkurrierten Schuss zu versuchen, der auch wert ist, anstatt den wertvollsten Schuss zu nehmen. Das sind drei. Das ist, wie Pat Riley jahrelang gewonnen hat. Es war immer in der Post. Es war Kareem, es war Zoe, es war Patrick Ewing. Und dann verändert sich das ganze Sport.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Und zumindest in Teilen in 2010, weil, oh, ich kann diese Pterodactyls machen, die alle schützen können, switchen mit allen und dann einfach so Spezimen sein, dass ich alle 6-9 mache und ich Dramond da rauslege, der besser auf Defense ist. Draymond ist zu Defense, Rodman ist zu Rebound, Savant.

The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
The game plan is now that the Wolves are just going to slowly eat the elephant over the course of the game and series because the MVP of the league, Denver, is not a great team. When he's on the floor, their plus minus is historic. When he leads for three minutes, they're terrible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Ich verstehe, wie jeder verletzt wird von den Pattern und was sie gewohnt sind und nicht wollen, sich zu verändern. Ich meine, ich sehe es im Fußball immer, der Sport wird revolutioniert, wenn die Buccaneers Jameis haben, 30 Touchdowns und 30 Interceptions, sie sind 7-9 fertig, wenn sie Tom Brady bekommen und die Interceptions eliminieren, Wien-Championschaft.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Und Brady ist immer noch großartig, aber absurd, dass das in seinen 40ern passieren würde. Die Mannschaft war klar genug gut, und sie haben den Markt auf Turnovers geäußert, weil Aaron Rodgers einen MVP gewonnen hat, indem er sagte, wir haben fünf Turnovers pro Jahr von dieser Position. Und dann, spät in den Spielen, wenn man gewinnen muss, Aaron Rodgers fällt ab, wo auch immer James Harden fällt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Aber in Boston haben sie eine Maschine, die für 18 Monate has been, oh, ahead of the game, dominant. Oh, Drew Holiday was really important, Porzingis. That machine, 53s a game, is going to play the D'Antoni way. But OKC caught up. Und du wirst in Momenten mit Tatum schießen müssen, wie das später aussehen wird. OKC hat dir gerade gezeigt, wie man Denver schießt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Sie sind die einzige Sache, die Jokic so aussehen kann. Es gibt nichts anderes in der Welt, das Jokic so aussehen kann. Und das ist nur, weil es auf ihn fügt. Es ist jung und es fügt auf einen Elefanten, der versucht, die ganze Championship Basketball zu tragen. Wann? Sie sahen, was es gemacht hat. Diese Jungs sind nach vier Jahren zusammengebrochen. Durant lebt und hat Draymond.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
LeBron und Wade werden nicht mehr zusammenarbeiten. Wir wollen nicht zusammen spielen. Die Jokic-Ära ist jetzt. Er ist müde. Weil wie könnte er nicht sein? Er will mit seinen Pferden sein. Er spielt mehr Spiele als jeder andere. Und das Ding wird von den jungen Leuten gefangen, weil das ist, wie die Konkurrenz funktioniert. Es ist faszinierend.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Es ist nicht ein tolles Team, es ist ein Champion, weil dieser Mann war für drei Jahre der beste offensivste Spieler, den ich je gesehen habe, Michael Jordan inklusive. Jedoch, wenn die 68-Win-Team jung ist und wir über Shea, Shea, Shea reden und die Leute nicht aufmerksam sind, nein, sie schlagen dich auf Defense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Es war furchtbar. Und Denver war nur gewonnen. Wiederum, sie schießen 30% und sind 5% hoch, nur weil sie ein paar mehr Freethrows bekommen. Es war einfach furchtbar zu sehen. Oh Mann, das war großartig.

The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Can I tell you about the Boston argument? That's my fault. That was bad analysis by me. And a lot of people have been pointing out, like I've gotten so much of this this weekend. They've been pointing out some form of screaming and yelling at me because my analysis of Jason Tatum was the following. And I guess I mean it as an indictment, but it just seems obvious to me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Okay. So, what I was telling you about Boston's got the fastest car for now. They game the system, right? They got the best three-point shooters and they got Porzingis at 7-3 stretching the floor. And nobody in the East will probably beat them. There's no favorites, even though they were down 2-0 and going on the road. Because I think we all feel like whatever can beat them is out West.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Maybe Indiana. Indiana plays them tough.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
The Pacers could beat the Celtics, had the position to beat the Celtics last year. But this to me is the interesting part where I get into a fight with Boston. Weil ich sagte, wo sind die Momente von Jason Tatum? Ich sagte, Jalen Brunson, in der letzten Serie, zu Extinguish Detroit, gab eine Generation von Sportfans für den nächsten etwas, das sie nie vergessen werden werden.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Es ist kein Wettbewerb, aber es ist ein Moment. Und ich fragte, wo sind die Momente von Jason Tatum? Und Boston war furchtbar. Und ich habe mich gerade mit Jason Tatum verabschiedet. Keine Momente. 2023 Eastern Conference Semifinals gegen die 76er. Die meisten Punkte jemals in einem Spiel. 7, 42 Minuten, 51 Punkte, 17 von 28 Field Goals, 5 Assists, 2 Steals. Ich glaube, das ist kein Moment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Ich erinnere mich nicht darauf. Nein, warte einen Moment. Es ist kein Moment. Es ist ein Spiel. Ein Spiel ist kein Moment. Weißt du, was ein Moment ist? Ein Moment ist, warum haben Karl Malone und John Stockton kein Wettbewerb? Gib mir einen Moment. Aber ich sage nur, das sind die Momente und das ist das Einzige, was er nicht hat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Und ich meine es nicht als Entschuldigung, aber ich wundere mich und ich denke, es ist fair zu wundern, wann wir jetzt messen können, dass Jalen Brunson im vierten Quartal groß ist. Wir können sagen, Jason Tatum ist ein toller Spieler. Dritter Best in der Liga dieses Jahr. Er hatte den besten ersten Rund von jedem Spieler, vielleicht in der ganzen Postseason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Und wir können auch sagen, bis heute hat er nicht getestet, in einer Art, die ihn nicht nur als Frontrunner machen würde, auf einem Team, das von 20 gewinnen kann, auf einem Team, das von 20 gewinnen kann, dass er nicht die Momente hat, die du erinnerst, die du anzeigen kannst.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Und ich frage mich einfach, wenn Boston anzeigen kann, und ich werde nicht mal anzeigen, dass das Spiel gegen James Harden war, ich werde nicht mal anzeigen, dass 50-Punkte-Spiele nicht das, was sie gewohnt haben.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
I would just, no, but I would just ask you, like it was such a weird argument to have with Boston. Do you not know the difference between games and moments? Because I'll tell you, here's a moment. Carlton Fisk is a moment. Ask everybody whether they won the World Series that year or not, or whether anyone knows whether the Boston Red Sox won outside of your city.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
I'm just saying that I'm guessing, I'm guessing if you ask people this home run, this image, young people, and you say, did this win a championship? The answer would be, of course.

Kind of like the judicial system now. Sort of. By the way, just put this on the poll. Is there any such thing as wrong anymore as Qatar gets into the game with 400 million dollar palace in the sky for Trump? Just put it on the poll. Is there any such thing as wrong anymore?

I can't remember which Olympic village it was, but... Wäre es Atlanta gewesen? Es kann also 30 Jahre her sein, aber ich bin mit der Idee von Katar eingeladen, weil ich es noch nie hatte. Ich hatte keine Familie damit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Und die Weise, wie ich mich dazu eingeladen habe, ist, dass sie versucht haben, ihr Geld zu verdienen, indem sie bulgarische Wettbewerber verkauft haben, die klar verletzt waren, um Katar in Katar zu repräsentieren. in Weightlifting. Und das ist der schmerzhafte Weg, in den sie ins Spiel geraten, als eine verrückte Nation mit Öl-Money.

The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Und ich denke, ich habe es richtig, wenn ich sage, es ist 1992. Ist es überhaupt noch etwas, was falsch ist? Weil Mike Ryan versucht, auf einer Plattform zu laufen, die gerade der größte politische Bewegung in den Vereinigten Staaten ist, dass ich nicht falsch war. Ich werde niemals sagen, dass ich falsch bin. Ich werde nur weiterhelfen. Es ist überhaupt noch nichts, was falsch ist.

The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
Ich kümmere mich um die Florida Panthers mehr als um Sacha Barkov. Okay, ich werde zurückkommen. Es tut mir leid, dass ich das so sage, denn es ist eines der verrücktesten Dinge, die ein Mensch jemals gesagt hat.

Ich fühle mich wie Mike an diesem Punkt, Roy. Ich weiß nicht, wie du dich fühlst. Ich fühle mich, als ob Mike aktiv gegen die Panthers kämpft und nur dafür kämpft, richtig zu sein. Du würdest lieber richtig sein.

The Big Suey: The Pissen Rules
I don't know if the last two days of shit yourself, especially over time in Game 3, when he pretends to not shit himself, when he was shitting himself, has made it so that he's more susceptible to being trapped by Mike and Billy. But it's happened. I just witnessed it. He just admitted he's not a journalist. I was shocked by that.

Put it on the pole. Does Mike care about the Panthers more than Barkov? Because he's lost his mind and we're in the second round. I care about them more than the late 80s.

No, hold on a second. I will address that in a moment. Because I don't want to move too far away from the excellence of this franchise that's giving us something that Canada wants to take.

Local Hour: The Last Real Florida Panthers Fan
There are like 40 dudes in the league active who have that many goals. And that's Verhege. Like... Sie haben so viel Bedeutung mit so vielen Jungs, die das gut tun, dass das nicht nur das Beste ist, was wir in der Stadt im Hockey gehabt haben. Das Teil ist offensichtlich. Es ist eines der besten Dinge, die ich jemals im Sport gesehen habe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Last Real Florida Panthers Fan
Und ja, Hockey kann passieren und sie können zwei der nächsten drei verlieren. Und es ist unglaublich, wenn Toronto, weißt du, nach dem Gott, diese Stadt möchte diese Mannschaft so schlecht. Diese Stadt ist von dieser Mannschaft zurückgeflogen und sie haben zwei zu Hause. Weil sie ihre Geschichte kennen. Und ich kann nicht glauben, dass das der Buzzsaw der Panthers ist.

Was würde ich euch fragen? Hier ist die Wahl. Es ist nicht so schwer. Wenn ihr Hero und Bam zur Verfügung stellt, könnt ihr zwischen vier und sechs erste Runde Picks bekommen. Und ich glaube, Pat Riley würde nicht daran stehen wollen. Aber ich werde euch sagen, Nick Garrison Das Franchise wird es sein. Das Franchise wird es sein.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Last Real Florida Panthers Fan
Also, wenn es einen Zeitraum gibt, um das zu erweitern, wo die Wärme existiert, wo es ein Vater und ein Sohn gibt und Pat Riley für sie arbeitet, sehr viel für sie arbeitet. Er wird nicht für fünf oder sechs erste Runde wählen. Welche Route möchtest du gehen?

Nein, aber wenn du sagst, er hat nichts, und ich weiß nicht, wir können sagen, dass Max Struess und Caleb Martin und Gabe Vincent und was auch immer, was mit Jimmy Butler passiert ist, der nicht so gut ist wie Giannis. Nein, Giannis ist nicht in seinem Prima, obwohl, das ist eine lustige Sache zu sagen, das war seine beste Saison.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Last Real Florida Panthers Fan
Er ist großartig und unabhängig, du tust alles, was du kannst, um diesen Spieler zu bekommen. Du nimmst Anthony Edwards, weil er jünger ist, aber es gibt nicht viele Spieler. Wenn es Jokic ist, dann ist es dieser Typ. Du kannst einen dritten haben, wenn du willst, aber das ist ein Franchise-Changer. Ich weiß, dass wir von LeBron in seinem Primum bei 25 als Freie Agenten verabschiedet wurden.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Last Real Florida Panthers Fan
Das wird nach dieser Saison nicht mehr vorgesehen. Und es ist jetzt vorgesehen. Und jedes Team ist im Spiel. Und, natürlich, ich sage das ohne Dillusion oder Equivocation. Es sollte einfach sein. Wenn du Janis für Bam und was auch immer noch tun musst, musst du Janis bekommen.

Okay, hold on, okay, because Mike, you're being really disrespectful, okay, on this front, okay, you could say that Tyler Hero is a garbage all-star, okay, ton of usage rate and we saw as a number one at the end of games what happens, how you get strangled if that's your number one at the end of games.

Bam Adebayo is still, even in the freakish age of these extraterrestrials running around there, one of the very few in the league can guard one through five.

These two players, though, did get to the Eastern Conference Finals and the Championship Round. But not on their own. And frankly, not on their own. They had Jimmy Butler. But the last time the Celtics lost three games in a row was when they were down 3-0 to the Heat. Because you can tell me that... Bam ist ein 2 und Bam ist ein 3. Das sind wirklich gute 2s und 3s.

Der Problem mit dem, was Roy da gemacht hat, ist, dass wir im Hockey, wir sind im zweiten Rund, Mann. Das wird Spaß machen. Best of the three hier. Und die Champs, wenn sie runter sind, Sie machen das oft, wo sie nie den dritten Zeitraum verlieren. Wenn sie im zweiten Zeitraum sind, hören Sie zu diesem Stat.

Ich sage einfach, dass Mike sie wirklich nicht respektiert, wenn er diese Multi-Time-Allstars nennt, zwischen ihnen und einem internationalen Spieler, der eine Goldmedaille hat, wenn er sie verurteilt, indem er sagt, dass sie Trash sind.

Glad we found consensus. It seems as though we fixed it. Yes, obviously. He speaks to humility when he says you have to humble yourself. And then he's Pat Riley.

Und ich würde sie nicht in der Heat-Franchise fahren wollen. Deine Mutter ist ein bisschen scharf, Alter. Deine Mutter ist da. Keine schlechten Ideen. All I'm saying is okay. No, he probably is. And him.

Secondarily. But then you're taking care of him. He dies. What I'm saying is, he can't do anything after that. I don't want my father driving anywhere. Again, I would not want him running the Heat franchise. So, if you want to do Biden's age, that feels a bit like ageism to me.

I will tell you that he's sharp, but they said the same thing about sharp and private on Biden, if you want to be ageist about this.

Und du kannst ihm sagen, er hat Blindspots über das, aber er wird es mit Ewing machen und er wird es mit Starks machen und er wird es mit Alonso machen und er wird es mit Tim Hardaway machen und er wird es mit Shaq machen und er wird es mit Wade machen und er wird es mit Magic machen und er wird es mit Kareem machen und er wird es vor allem mit Kentucky machen.

Also denkt er immer, er wird es gewinnen. Natürlich, bis zum Ende. Und du sagst, er wird es nicht gewinnen. Du sagst, er wird es gewinnen. Ich meine, er wird es bis zum Ende gewinnen, so wie ich es will, weil ich es gewonnen habe, weil ich den Sport gebaut habe. Und du kannst ihm sagen, hey, alter Mann, Get out of here. Anthony Edwards has nothing in common with you.

He wouldn't want to play for you. Why would he want to play for you? He doesn't want to run wind sprints like that. He wants to chuck threes for the rest of his life. Because dunking hurts. Because dunking hurts his body.

Welche? Das ist eine ganz andere Gespräche. Wenn ich dir sagen würde, in dem Kontext von diesem Thema, wenn ich dir sagen würde, dass du zu einem Spieler gehst, der in diesem Alter spielt, ein Spieler, der vielleicht... Wie Draymond und alle anderen, haben sie solche Auf-und-Auf-Schwingungen, die man benutzen könnte, ich weiß nicht, wenn man jemandem spricht, in einer Art, die nicht ehrgeizig ist.

Wenn jemand das nicht tut, was tust du dann? Wie spielst du das, wenn ich in einer Organisation bin und du sagst, er ist eine verrückte Person, aber wir machen das jetzt klinisch, jetzt, dass Basketball uns über DeMar DeRozan und Kevin Love erzählt hat.

Wenn ich jemandem in der Liga sage, hey, wer in der Liga verrückt ist? Es ist Draymond und dieser Kerl und wir stellen ihn nicht in eine klinische Diagnose.

Die Idee, dass die Panthers einen Torwart haben, der jetzt gefeuert ist, und das in diesem Spiel tun kann, wo es so ist, 21 von den ersten 25 Schrecken, da werden heute keine Probleme mehr sein, auch wenn es 1-0 ist, das ist die Art, wie es bleiben wird.

There have been only a couple of times in my history in South Florida where there's been a thing like this that I know is champion, excellent and can be for years.

Okay, also zehn Minuten, zehn Minuten spät ist Zaslow und er will heute nicht spät sein, weil er das beste Team hat. Und es ist so seltsam, dass du das Gefühl hast, ich weiß, ich habe das beste Team.

There's blood in the water. Kendrick Perkins says, Pat Riley, get him out. Stephen A. Smith, Pat Riley, get him out. Game has passed him by. Today's players are saying it out loud.

And do you understand how disorienting it is to have the first 30-20-20 in league history delivered by somebody who talks about their game this way? I can't dunk it, guys. Did you see me play?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Let's go out to Roy. He is with the Panthers. He is on the ice. He is ready to give us an update on everything that's happening with the Florida Panthers. This is exactly where all hockey stand-ups should be and how all hockey stand-ups should look. Mike Ryan, Roy, I'm curious your opinion here, because the hockey show that is often on Fridays was able to react to this in real time, correct?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Did you see me dunk? I never dunk! What is happening in this league? It is so strange to see him go for 30, 20 and 20 and be entirely unstoppable. But Denver hasn't gotten him enough help. He should make the mess that Jimmy made, even though he won the championship. Because he's like, you guys can't do better than Eric.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Toronto war ein 1-Jahr-Champion und dann fiel in die Mitte der Liga. Denver ist nicht in die Mitte der Liga gefallen, aber sie haben auch nicht besser gewonnen, seit sie die Champions League gewonnen haben. Und viele Teams um sie herum haben besser gewonnen, wenn sie basically die gleiche 55-Winner-Team waren.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Und Michael Porter sagt, dass sie in einer Last-Dance-Situation sein könnten dieses Jahr, wo es zerbrochen wird, wenn sie keine Champions League gewinnen. Und ich weiß nicht, wie er das macht. Die Arithmetik auf dem einen, weil es nicht eine letzte Dance Situation wird, wo sie sich von Jokic entfernen. Sie könnten Michael Porter entfernen. Sie könnten Aaron Gordon entfernen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
But when you've got Jamal Murray and Jokic together and that's not good enough anymore. What's happening in Cleveland and Oklahoma City suggests that the league has passed them by. And obviously Boston is still there beating the Lakers and LeBron is leaving the game as Jason Tatum goes for his usual quiet 40.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
It's always though something that I enjoy monitoring when the rest of the league gets competitive on what the championship standard is and then passes the championship standard. Because we're all watching Denver We saw what it took to win the championship and all of us are looking at that and saying, that's not good enough anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
The league has elevated beyond where... I've seen a lot of people, including Greg Cody, complaining about all the leads that the Miami Heat are blowing and then blaming that on Eric Spolstra, when what's actually happening there is... These games are decided in the fourth quarter the way that OKC in Denver was yesterday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
The games closed through three quarters and in the fourth quarter you just see OKC run away. The Miami Heat are so limited offensively that when it gets tight late... They can't hold on to their leads, because offensively they are so wildly limited. You can sit here and say they've got a bunch of double-digit leads, but in that league, that has ceased to matter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
That's not something that matters anymore, that you have a double-digit league, that can be erased the moment that a team makes four threes. I don't know what your assessment is there, but it's not enough anymore to have just Jokic doing MVP things, because they may take the MVP away from him because they're bored by him, but he's having his best season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Statistically, that human being is getting better and the architecture around him isn't getting better. That's not good enough anymore. We're in consensus on that, correct? What was good enough a few years ago is no longer good enough in Denver, even though the MVP is better than he's ever been.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
When this happened last week, Mike Ryan is not here for Brad Marchand, though. How do you feel? That is a minority opinion I feel like he's expressing on behalf of Panther fans. I do not believe that he speaks for all Panther fans, that if you can get a 36-year-old Brad Marchand For $125,000 you absolutely end up doing that. Roy, where are you? And thank you for joining us from the arena.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Can you guys explain to me why it is that we do what it is that we did earlier in the show with OKC and Cleveland that would make those fanbases insane about how dismissive we are about their teams being excellent and how bad a finals that would be if it's OKC and Cleveland?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Can you explain to me why it is and how it is we do that with our big market bias, where if I took those teams and simply put them in Lakers uniforms, in Knicks uniforms, in Celtics uniforms, I've got a kind of history in it that makes the finals more interesting than this would be, even though it is not unclear the two best teams during the regular season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Boston will have something to say about that in the postseason. But during the regular season, these are the two best teams. And if I tell... Ja.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Well, just interest. I'm not doing TV ratings. I'm just doing interest and just generally how we want storylines that are familiar. We want the history that we're used to. It takes us a minute to adapt to... What do you mean I have to be paying attention to how good Shay Gilgis Alexander is or how good it is when it's Garland and Allen and Mobley and Mitchell?

Ich möchte, dass Charles Barkley nach Kendrick Perkins und ESPN in der Regel folgt. Es zählt, Greg, weil du hast gehört, dass Shaq und Charles etwas tun, was in der NBA, glaube ich, sehr oft nicht gesehen wird.

Aber er ruft an. Co-Workers, fools and idiots, or future co-workers, because he's complaining about what Jessica just mentioned, which is that anytime you turn into the main industry spokespeople on cheerleading and celebrating the sport, and I don't know whose responsibility it is here. Is it the media's responsibility to get fans properly informed and interested in change and the newcomers?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Because... The newcomers are here. They've arrived. Anthony Edwards is the reason that OKC didn't advance last year. Minnesota is less good. OKC has done some suffering. That OKC team was really good last year. Young. This year, they're better. They've grown. Holmgren is an important piece to OKC. And what have they lost? Eleven times this year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Cleveland, as I mentioned, three double-digit winning streaks this year. They're dragging people. And Charles Barkley is saying of the media coverage what Jessica is saying, which is, you can't just be talking about the Lakers and Steph all the time. But... Schau dir an, was LeBron Steph an Weihnachtsabend gemacht hat.

But when we talk about media responsibilities and we talk about the main voices in the NBA, not only talking about the same teams, but also gravitating toward the dramatic storylines that don't have much of anything to do with basketball. I'm going to play some of this Charles Barkley sound. He's been doing it a lot of times.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland

He always will. It doesn't seem like there's a lot of energy and enthusiasm where you are, though. I don't feel like that is pulsating Hockey Nation everywhere around you.

Football tends to be a bigger locker room with more players in it, so there's more general open air. For some reason the hockey locker room is smaller than I would like it to be, but they also have fewer players, right? The hockey locker room is a little more cramped than it needs to be. Do I have this wrong, Roy? I feel like all hockey locker rooms need to be twice as large as they actually are.

Thank you, gentlemen. Appreciate all of your work on the hockey show and beyond. They are very excited. Everything around the Panthers is feeling championship excellent.

We have learned that it is difficult to stay atop the championship mountain.

And when that game...

Ich habe gestern die Entscheidung gemacht, dass der beste Offensivspieler, den ich jemals gesehen habe, stoppt. Was mit Denver passiert, wenn Jokic auf dem Platz ist und wenn er auf dem Platz ist, ist ein bisschen architekturisch stupend, dass sie ihm nicht mehr Hilfe bekommen haben. in Denver. He puts up the first 30-20-20 in league history.

The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
But what you guys are arguing is Greg saying he's the 12th best quarterback and you're saying he's the 10th. So what are we actually really arguing about?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
I was looking up, by the way, since you guys are talking about stats and how you can manipulate stats to tell you anything you want because we were talking about Kevin Love earlier and retiring him and why they retire him. I found three Cleveland Cavaliers stats in which Kevin Love is the all-time leader.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Defensive rebound percentage, defensive rebounds per 36 minutes, and defensive rebounds per 100 possessions. So there you go. All-time great in three random stats.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Well, five, but only two times for the Cavs. So Cavs, I mean, I don't know why they're retiring.

There's only two other Southern Jaguars who have their number retired. Avery Johnson and Bobby Phils. Wow. How about that? A lot of Bulls have their numbers retired.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
I mean, it's a good move by all teams involved, right? The Seahawks didn't want to pay him $40 million a year. The Raiders needed a quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Yeah, but they just gave him $123.5 million guaranteed, $40 million a year, and he's someone that has an injury history. So the idea of, you know what, I'm just going to sit out and not play, and then I'll get it next time around –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
You want a football player that doesn't care about money, and that's not what this incident was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
No, no, no. I mean, it's just for three years. It's fine. Three years, $120 million. I'd love living in Cleveland for that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Where do you think he lives in the off season?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
He might. I don't know. I'll take the under. I think you'll have a home there. That doesn't mean he doesn't like playing there now. Right. He could like it there. We're just making fun of Cleveland the place.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
He also didn't say all that many hurtful things. Like you guys are saying Radio Row. Like here's a here's a newsflash. Everyone was told they couldn't ask him about the trade requests at Radio Row. Only one person was allowed to. It was Mina and he said nothing. So like he said the day before he went to Radio Row, I want to be traded.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
And everyone that had a book was like, you can't ask him about that. It's like, OK, so what do we ask him about? And that's exactly how that went.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Yeah, that's what you say when you want to leverage the other one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
But the only way he could have played for one of the best teams was by making substantially less than what he's going to make. So why would he want to go and play for one of the best teams so you guys can feel good in exchange for $20 million a year?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
For the Steelers, it also, like, what is Russ's number? Because it's not a million dollars a year, which is what they had him for last year, right? So, like, now that they've given DK $30 million, how much are you going to give to the quarterback? Like, are you going to draft a quarterback? Or are you going to get, like, a middle-level quarterback?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
You have fields that you could get probably for cheaper than you can get Russ at this point. And, like, the Aaron Rodgers thing... I mean, any team that has a quarterback need now that's looking for an established quarterback, even though he didn't have a great season last year, is better than gambling on a Daniel Jones, maybe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
If you're close enough and you need a serviceable quarterback, you take a chance on Aaron Rodgers. Or if you're a terrible team that just wants to make a splashy move, you get Aaron Rodgers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
The Vikings make sense in that J.J. McCarthy missed all of last season with an injury. So you still don't really know what you have in J.J. McCarthy. So like if he is still your plan going forward, you bring in Aaron Rodgers for a season to get you to J.J. Because J.J., after sitting out a season, probably isn't ready to be your starter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
And I don't think that you're ready to commit to Sam Darnold long term, which is probably what Sam Darnold is looking for this offseason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
No, he's not going to be a backup.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
But he's also taking over a team that was 4-13 that didn't have a quarterback. So even if he gets you to 500, that is a huge upgrade from where the Raiders were last season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
I mean, maybe not long term, but like you just signed Max Crosby, who you're going to be building around, right? And he commanded a lot of money. Are you going to overtake the Chiefs in the AFC West? Probably not. You're probably playing for a wild card spot. If you get...

I mean, don't get me wrong. As a father, I also don't want to talk about Oklahoma City Cleveland matching up in the NBA final. I think the most interesting thing that's happening in the sport is still the ramifications of the Luca trade, what it's done to the Dallas market, how they've totally unraveled there. I think that's an interesting drama, and LeBron is a part of that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
This one just seems entirely manufactured. From the timing, I think we all know what this is. If you wanted to keep LeBron James in purple and gold, part of the deal was you were going to pay his son $8 million and try to develop him in your franchise. And everything else around it is just BS.

that Marchand was coming specifically? No. I knew that they were working on something kind of shocking from talking to folks. I never in a million years would have assumed it's Brad Marchand who apparently only wanted to go to Florida. And Pierre Lebrun just tweeted this morning that
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
because most of his salary was given in the form of a signing bonus, Boston retaining part of that salary, it's only going to cost the Florida Panthers $125,000 in real money to have Brad Marchand on their roster, which is solid for a fourth liner.

Yes, if they got a much better deal in return, fewer people would be upset. Wholeheartedly agree.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
I'm sure that's part of the agreement, don't you think? Part of the agreement for the sale is like, I'm not going to be in the public space. It's kind of like when... Historically, a president leaves office, they kind of disappear for a little bit and respect the transition of power and they don't pop up because they know what that job's like and it's a courteous thing to do.

He just came out of hiding. He literally just put something out from his presidential library about Ukraine specifically. And, I mean, you can do some digging and know exactly where the Bush family sides by their absence at stuff and whatnot. There were a lot of legacy Republicans that weren't at the RNC. Amazing way to make this political, but I think I'm the one to blame there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
But, like, even he came out for the Russia-Ukraine thing. But historically, people that share that office kind of just... Go off into the distance and don't often offer up criticisms of whoever just replaced them.

I think I know I was guilty of it. I was doing the direct comparison to how bad I felt the heat got it and all the supporting cast of characters like Bosh had it way more difficult than Kevin Love ever did.

Why wouldn't they do this for... It's actually gained popularity. Gilbert Arenas was huge for that number. I think you'll look at most rosters and find zeros. It's become in vogue. But yeah, I think that if they're retiring any active players, why don't they retire LeBron's?

The reports are that the only team he said he wanted to go to was Florida. And Boston did what they could to make that happen for their captain. So a shocking acquisition. I certainly felt some kind of way about it because I don't like Brett Marchand at all as a person, as a player. I don't even really like him all that much, but it's low risk. And yeah, the part that sweets the pot for me
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
personally, is the fact you know 100%. You ended that Boston Bruins team, that core. You eliminated them back-to-back years, one time as an eighth seed, one time on the verge of elimination. You found a way to level it, and you just blew up their entire blueprint. So I like that. You know that you did that to the Rangers. You know that you did that to the Bruins.

This was a part of a whole new design for New Era, where they would take one of the logos and just slap it in the middle of a script logo. And for some teams, it works kind of cool.

Pending on the Carolina Hurricanes, it seems as though Tampa kind of reshaped themselves a little bit with Jake Gensel, but I'm never going to like Brad Marchand.

I don't think that's true anymore, though.

Well, that's a great way to put it. Whatever it was that he did because it was supposed to be a retirement and he didn't actually say he was going to retire. Maybe he forgot. He actually had an opportunity to, and he's like, now's not the time for that. When is the time, Jimmy?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Great American Cities
Or you just tell Jay Glazer to stand back. But when you bring him onto that set and he's there and Gronk's there and everyone's just sharing their favorite Jimmy Johnson memories.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Great American Cities
Well, it's not his retirement. Like, why didn't he announce it there?

A.I. Stugatz would not pull off the rare double of leaving work early Friday and coming in to work late on Monday. Thank you, Mike.

You're listening to DraftKings Network.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
I mean, I love my piece. It meant a lot to me. It signified a mile marker and people feel certain ways about it. Your piece? Yeah, my wrist piece.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
Dan, I would say relative to the net worth, I'm making a much larger statement.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
A gold popcorn bowl? Is that what you just said?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
What percentage of your net worth is it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
Probably more than Tom Brady's. Wow. So it's more of a statement than Tom's. I'm making a much larger statement. Yeah. Day in and day out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
He wants us to ask him about his piece.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
Ask him about his piece.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
Because that's how Ric Flair wore it. Wow. And that's what matters. Styling and profiling.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
Well, he's not. He's got cuffs over it. I would venture to say it's probably not even his most expensive watch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
Dan, this is why people think rich people should pay more taxes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
There's so many people that go to bed hungry every night, but Tom Brady's got an $800,000 watch.

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
That's a good question. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
person and one of them is me so i found this uh but both are rich this partnership that he that tom brady had with sotheby's and his watch collection is ridiculous this is what he decided hey i need to do some spring cleaning there's like three different watches in here that are up to half a million dollars he probably uh doesn't even have to like i don't know i would love to know what some of these deals are because i don't know if eugene levy gets some sort of uh
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
That was a long commercial that Harrison Ford won. He got at least five Jeeps for that one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
One would imagine. Whoever his timepiece partner is, they should be upset that he doesn't have exclusivity because this is a very deep and vast and varied watch collection that he decided to sell for auction.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
But if they gave us one of those watches, we would remember.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
From that hill that I was going to die on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
There's roughly two dozen watches on this Sotheby's auction.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
There's at least one available for auction that is priced higher than the one that he was wearing for the Black Caps.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
Oh, we're never going to go back to the Super Bowl, Billy.

Later for the TV. Also, this was not a red eye. He went in the morning. Red eye, he would have been here on time. He was flying in from Chicago.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
Yeah, but Dan famously kind of, he lumps the Midwest in together. So really, he could have been anywhere in that. He could have been in Toronto. You know what?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
There isn't a flight that he's on that his eyes aren't red. All right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
He said me? Roy, what are your thoughts on Harry Connick Jr.?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
Roy doesn't even appreciate this era of gentlemen, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
Yeah. Okay. What did Claire think?

Howdy, folks. It's Mike Ryan. I talk to you about Miller Time all the time, but we're in the wintertime right now, and one of my favorite pastimes is to crack open a Miller Lite and enjoy myself some Miller Time during the wintertime because when there's a brisk chill in the air, it just makes everything right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
My friends and I who live down here in South Florida can actually sit outside because it's not super muggy. We can thoroughly enjoy our Miller Time together. And for you listening, I know there's a lot of things going on right now. Sports news.

I've decided this year I'm going to do a themed Super Bowl party. Me and Lehman did a whole New Orleans theme. I made a king cake from scratch. It's in the kitchen right now if anyone wants to try it. It was shockingly very tasty.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
I'm not eating for two more days.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
why do you say shockingly you generally have great successes baking like when you have a lot you're you don't you lack confidence making these things uh well it was a yeasted dough so i don't normally make things of that nature with my gluten-free problems because it's very hard to stretch dough without gluten but i said let's just roll the dice and see what happens i use the gluten-free king arthur flour in the recipe with the whole blog and everything and

It came out of the oven split in half. You could see the filling coming out. But once you put the frosting on, no one knew the difference.

Would you like to try? It's gluten-free, Dan. Yes, I would like to. It's not dairy-free, though.

It was a skyline pistachio gelato.

Were you Giada for a second? Was that Italian you were going for there? I think.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
Wait, this was a Skyline thing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
So Skyline Chili decided to make a partnership with an ice cream but call it gelato?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
I'm trying to follow. There is cinnamon in Skyline Chili.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
I think that's why they were booing Taylor Swift. I think all the Eagles fans saw her and booed her. I don't think they were like, hey, she endorsed Kamala Harris.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
The crazy thing is, so like Super Bowls, everyone that's ever been to one, I've never been to one, has told me it's actually not the greatest game atmosphere.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
I've been to a few. It is sometimes very boring.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
Well, you went to the Rams-Patriots one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
That was bad. I've been to good ones too, but that one was very, very boring. That was also the Maroon 5 Super Bowl. All right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
I think it came across on the broadcast that that atmosphere at the game looked really fun. And my buddy Master was at the game and I texted him. He's like, I'm shocked at how crazy this atmosphere was. It was decidedly pro Eagles. Granted, by midway through the second quarter, they were the only fans making noise at that game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
But I was really stunned at how many Eagles fans got their way into what is essentially a corporate event.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
And now the way you're going to have to clarify the purchase thing, like he is a partner of the NFL.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
Yeah, but I guess they did beat Buffalo, and I know that they were at home there, but I'm with you. If any other team that didn't have the success that Kansas City had attached to it entered this Super Bowl and went out that way, they'd be called a huge fraud. They'd be looked at as the Kerry Collins Giants or as the Stan Humphreys Chargers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
Yeah, where they become a punchline, but I think everyone kind of understands the greatness there. You mentioned the physicality. There was one moment in that game where it was very telling to me because Patrick Mahomes is Josh Allen levels when it comes to the officials and trying to get calls the entire time. When he fumbled, he very clearly got hit in the head. Both hands went to the head.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
That is a textbook call. I have never seen Patrick Mahomes not get up and complain about what just happened there. He didn't at all. He kind of conceded. not just the game, but also conceded, I don't think I want to be out here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
It was 13 first downs in the first half to one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
I just never have seen Patrick Mahomes just kind of admit through the lack of something that I can't do this. I can't come back in this one. Even in that Tampa Super Bowl, he's still diving around and releasing a ball just this far off the ground. trying his hardest and still not giving up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
And last night, I mean, I think he even went out there and threw an absolute beauty to Xavier Worthy after the fact, because it's his job, he asked to. But him not complaining about that flag was just respectful of his opponent in that, man, you guys got us today. And also just, this kind of hurts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
I don't think I want to take, I think at that point he had like four straight negative plays and he was just over it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
It's really hard to do the analysis on a good team losing in the Super Bowl. We saw them all season. We were like, this Chiefs team is flawed, and eventually it will catch up to them. But it didn't until the Super Bowl. And now it's kind of like, well, do they really need to blow the whole thing up? I don't think so.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
They made it all the way to the Super Bowl, but they clearly were outmatched in this game in the trenches. So what do you do now? Yeah. You've already tried to put a lot into your offensive line. I guess you need to do even more. But at the end of the day, they still made it all the way to the Super Bowl. And they have Patrick Mahomes. There's not a whole lot you would trade for that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
One of them was a pick six.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
Right, it was the Chiefs offense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
Yeah, right. And they couldn't scheme the offense around the fact that the Eagles were getting pressure with four on the front the entire game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

How much does Serena Williams hate Drake? And Drake, like all of this, kind of played himself with it. But there is a cultural significance of Serena Williams, who lost a sister to a drive-by in Compton doing the crip walk at the Super Bowl halftime show to get one over on Drake.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
Yeah. And like you kind of mentioned her in a song. I don't think there was a single it was correct me if I'm wrong. The entire cast of that halftime performance was was African-American.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
I mean, this one, the division when it came to this one, it was all too predictable, went down party lines. I thought it wasn't exactly subtle. I mean, when you have an American flag that is comprised of guys who are dancing as Crips and Bloods forming together, all black individuals forming an American flag, like you're not exactly going for subtlety. Hell, Sam Jackson was Uncle Sam.

So I understand why people who aren't ideologically, politically aligned feel threatened, and that is where the problem is. This isn't overtly political. They're not making you feel less than. Their appearance is just making you feel uncomfortable. You're telling on yourself.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
They've spoken to it. See, Bannon, I think, spoke to the Wall Street Journal. Flooding the zone. There's just so much that you can't seize on one thing because everything is happening all at once.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
It was the audio mixing for me and the song selection at the start made it hard to get in. Like when he has the bar at the start, like you pick the right time, but the wrong guy. I'm like, all right, what are we getting into? And then we're like, oh, it's a bit of a slow burn. And the audio mixing just isn't great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
Well, it's just, I don't, it was a part just for New Orleans. It was a celebration of New Orleans music, and they put out a bunch of luminaries, and Harry Connick Jr. was tickling the ivories and being MC. That makes sense. Anytime I've seen it, like, Harry Connick Jr. 's
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
been the face of New Orleans music scene for a very long time at all these award shows there's been hurricanes that have hit the area and Harry Connick Jr. has done a lot of great work and he's usually when they want to do something super New Orleans that speaks to the city's character and strength he's one of the first calls that they make
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Just The Kind Of Guy I Am
Or like Joker in Batman 89. Maybe in the last 72 hours, he's completely changed the guy that he is. Have you considered that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

That kind of feels like the old Stu.

GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
What I did like about it was Fox updates the stats as it goes. Not all the networks do that, which always irritates me. Watching a game, you'd be like, oh, that was a big pass. Did I hit the over there? I don't know. They're not telling me. So I got to open an app on my phone and check the stats. I do like that they did that. But in general, I thought it was a big miss. It looks so simple.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
I was like... This is the Super Bowl, guys. Go big or don't go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
Yeah, just the regular Fox one would have been fine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

All right, I'll ask you this. What would make the end of the dynasty? If Travis Kelsey comes out today and says, I retire, end of the dynasty?

I'll give you a loser first. Myself and everyone of my age and skin color. The Super Bowl halftime show was not for us. It was not for me. It's okay. Doesn't have to be. We didn't understand it. We didn't like it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
that's okay you can stop whining online okay you didn't you didn't like it i thought it was fine but stop whining about it wasn't for you wasn't for you okay so that was the loser so you were the loser i was the loser all right uh i'm gonna go with a winner
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
I got another loser. Okay. The refs are making the Chiefs win narrative. Because there were bad calls all over on both sides. There were missed calls. Now, originally, not going to lie, the first bad call was A.J. Brown's offensive pass interference on that fourth down. How did you feel about that? Ooh, that was a bad call.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
And I was sitting there because I'm a big, the refs aren't doing anything different. They're just bad. They're not just bad for the Chiefs. And that was a big thorn in my argument. And then we got a make-up call with a phantom roughing, you know, roughing or sportsman-like penalty. And then Mahomes got his face smushed in on a play, and they didn't call it. And I'm like, okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
Let's just throw this whole refs thing out. The Eagles won. Chiefs got no help. Everybody's like, we're back to normal. The refs are just bad. They're not Chiefs bad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
We usually get that in the break. I'm very excited we got one on the show.

GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
Thank you, Bear. The Bear who joined us early in the week said... wait till the end, then grab some unders, especially the ones that everybody is pounding on the over early. I was like, everybody's on Saquon. At one point, I could have got it at under 116 yards. 116 yards is ridiculous. Now, Saquon had been doing that, but at the same time, the number was, oh, it's going to get 95, 100.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
When the over-under's at 116, give me that all day. I took the under.

Before we get into the commercials, before we get into more Mike Lee, little mini rant on commercials. Mm-hmm. A commercial doesn't need a trailer. A commercial doesn't need commercials leading up to the commercial that you're going to air in the Super Bowl. That's part of it. They've become so big that they're not surprising anymore. Now you can watch them on social media and stuff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
The days before the Super Bowl, like, let me just let me just see it in its natural environment. And then you can give me all the behind the scenes and all that. But like leading up to it's like, oh, wait till wait till February 9th. You're going to see a Jeep commercial like you've never seen. Yeah, it's like, why can't I just enjoy the commercial? That's the point.

Jalen Hurts was all right. I mean, I thought... I thought giving him the MVP was a bit of a stretch. I mean, if you really wanted to give somebody the MVP, how about the front four of the Eagles? And I know giving four guys, but that's who wrecked the game. The Eagles didn't blitz once going into the third quarter, and yet Mahomes was pressured on every play. The Eagles defensive line, Josh –

God bless football, Billy Gil.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
Is it Josh Sweatermont? I always forget which one it is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
He had two and a half sacks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
Caused the interception. That should have been your MVP, but once Jalen Hurts threw a meaningless touchdown, you're like, quarterback's going to get it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
It was 24 in the third quarter. I know that. It was 24 midway through the third quarter.

Travis Kelsey, nowhere to be seen for the first, what, three quarters? And then all of a sudden he caught a few, oh, they're not really covering me because they're playing deep. Yeah. And now it's like, oh, I caught my yards. No, you didn't. You were terrible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
There are worse places to be. Exactly right. There are worse places to be. And some of them pick in the top five.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
Let's get everybody off the field. Let's get everybody home safe. The game is over. We have work tomorrow because, as Stu Gatz would say, it's Super Bowl Sunday, not Super Bowl Saturday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
Good for me for betting over two and a half players to throw a pass and Kenny Pickett getting an absolutely meaningless throw attempt in there just to cash that bet in for me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
Hey, man. It's just... It's Vegas. That's how they air condition the desert.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
I thought he might have stolen the MVP when he had to pick six. I thought he might have had a chance. I was waiting for like one sack maybe or something to just be like, okay, that guy's the MVP, which would have been cool to see a rookie DB win MVP of the Super Bowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
Yeah, I would say it's kind of the opposite. It was actually a pretty good season, and then all of a sudden we got that clunker to end it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
Saquon got all the attention going in. Oh, it's my birthday. Saquon's going to have a big day. No, no, no, no. Cooper DeGene. That's whose birthday it was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
Yeah, for me it was like up until then it was like, okay, here's where Mahomes' magic has to come in. And then when he threw the other interception to give them the ball on the five, I was like, oh, okay, this is just going to get out of hand now. Got it. Now we're just looking to finish off the Super Bowl snacks, finish your drinks, and cash a bet where we can. That's what we're aiming for.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
So they all expect – and by they all, I mean like my in-laws. They all expect me to sort of run this thing because of my job and who I am and all that stuff, sports. So everybody comes over. So we had probably 15 people, a lot of kids. Everybody left before halftime.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
Except for like my friend who was there to watch the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
Can you call it a Super Bowl party when people leave at halftime? Like if you're by yourself, if you're hosting a Super Bowl party and you're by yourself by the third quarter, can you call it a Super Bowl party? Or was it more of a pregame party? Or did people just come over for dinner?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Bouncing with shoes? You don't bounce with shoes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Maybe that's why they gave it to him. Because it was broken. It's possible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
Hold on. So my wife always buys me almost a good gift. Almost. And last year, she bought me a projector screen and a projector. And she was like, oh, we'll use it all the time. Well, here's the problem. We live in Connecticut. So you can't watch it at nighttime anywhere. Pretty much seven months of the year because it's too damn cold to go outside and watch something.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
And the other the times of the year that you can watch it, it doesn't get dark till nine o'clock. Well, guess what? Our kids go to bed at like eight thirty.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
So like we have we have used it not once. It's sitting in a box literally at my feet right now. And just hearing that you guys even have the option to watch it, I got a little bit jealous. When when did you get this?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
uh christmas two years ago oh wow and it still hasn't come out of the box in two years yeah oh no we took it out once to like be like oh look we could set it up and like we set it up in the living room to watch a game like uh a yukon game or something during the national championship and like that's it yeah but like i'm jealous that you guys even have the option to do this whole projector thing because i don't
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
Because we're all undefeated today. Yeah, okay. I can go back to wearing this because I'm in first place just like you. Season starts today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
Yeah, I'm in my Chiefs. Season starts today. And you get all the tweets from all the teams that didn't make the Super Bowl that said, season starts today. I think every team sent one out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Season Hangover
Maybe that's the difference between the $20 projector that you bought and a good one.

But it's still the Yankees brand. It's still Yankees. Yeah, but he pissed Yankee fans off. And that's winning.

Wenn ich kann, wie jeder sagt, wird das nicht gut aufwachsen. Well, what he does is not, he's not just universally built on power. And we're also kind of forgetting that they did kind of change the rules in baseball. I think all those factors do help this contract age a little bit more with grace. He's got the best eye in the sport. I don't see that eye getting worse over time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
I don't see his plate discipline getting worse.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
But I'm saying the sport is in a better position for his contract age with Grace now than it was a couple of years ago.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

No question. Mike is right about that. And I don't care about 35 to 40. I care about 26 to 35. 35 to 40 comes quick.

Yeah, but the insanity isn't what baseball is doing. The insanity is what the other sports are allowed to do. It's not something that's allowed in global sports.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
And it's why all the European soccer owners want to replicate the American model so they can actually cap the wages of the labor that's actually bringing in the revenue. What's crazy is that you actually look at Tom Brady, who's the greatest ever, do it and say, you can only make this much. David loves that. He loves it. It's just math.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
But Dan, it sounds like you love it too. You've been telling David for 20 years his sport is out of control. They're coming off a very popular World Series. Their sport is certainly healthy enough to be dishing out contracts like this. So I think maybe you're wrong. Was habe ich da falsch gemacht? Weil, wenn du die Kontrakte kritisierst, die Baseball handelt, dann ist das verrückt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
Weil du seit 20 Jahren David gesagt hast, dass sein Sport unkontrolliert ist. Und was hat er damit zu tun? Die Kontrakte werden immer größer, weil der Sport tatsächlich erfolgreich war.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
Ich glaube, das Unrecht ist der Fakt, dass sie Leute in anderen Sporten kappen.

Crazy deferred payments where you can pay somebody 40 years after the contract.

Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
Ich denke, es gibt eine kreative Lösung. Ich denke, sie sollten die Arbeitsplätze in allen Sporten verlagern, weil sie versuchen, einen Verteidiger von 500 Millionen Dollar zu bezahlen. In diesem Sport gibt es so viele Schmerzen, dass das Ganze sich selbst herausstellen wird. Die NBA ist etwas schwieriger. Du hast fünf Spieler auf dem Platz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
Du weißt, dass der erste Prozent der Top-Sportler so viel besser ist. Wenn dieser erste Prozent nur über drei Teams verspürt ist, werden diese drei Teams am Ende da sein. Es ist fast eine virtuelle Warnung. Also müsste die NBA wahrscheinlich eine kreative Lösung haben.

Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
Was schrecklich war, war die Verletzung, nicht, was danach passiert ist, weil ich wusste, dass die Verletzung das, was danach passiert ist, würde sein. Weil wir, wenn es sich um ein SEC-Team gegen Miami handelt, müssen sie mit dem SEC-Team gehen. Und das ist nur wegen dessen, was ich die ganze Zeit bemerkt habe, diese verdammt vorgesehenen Gedanken. Aber... Ich bin immer noch schmerzhaft.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
Ich habe das Ende des AACC-Wettbewerbs nicht gesehen, aber ich habe es durch die Schmerzen, die ich die Woche vorher hatte, vermeintlicht. Es ist eine Schande, denn es war eine gute Saison. Wenn du mir vor dem Jahr gesagt hättest, dass es zwei Verluste mit neun Punkten gibt, würde ich sagen, okay, dann garantiere ich dir eine Reise nach Charlotte. Es hat sich nicht geändert.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
Es war eine wirklich gute Saison für Miami. Es ist die Saison, die wir gebeten haben. Are we square? What do you mean? Are we square?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
No, that's not what made us square. What made us square is what I did to you on Thanksgiving.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
Ich verstehe. Mario Cristobal wurde mitgebracht, um das Programm umzusetzen. Und das Programm hat sich umgesetzt. Hoffentlich ist das nachhaltig, aber ich bin froh mit der Trajectorie des Programms. Von Jahr 1 bis Jahr 2 bis Jahr 3. Jahr 4 für einen Recruiting-Base-Coach wie Mario Cristobal ist, das ist, wenn man groß gewinnt. Das ist die Herausforderung. Miami muss viele Spieler verändern.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
Aber ist es nicht, Miami umzusetzen, um es in den Playoff zu machen, die Nationalmannschaft zu gewinnen?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
I think it's a yes, yes, but you got to build. And I think it's irrefutable that Miami's headed in the right direction. And that's what I'm going to hang my hand on. But Kirk Cignetti turned around Indiana in a year. Well, Kirk Cignetti also played three teams with winning records. And if Miami had the very same thing, they'd be in the college football playoff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
Weil die Defense... Sie sagten das gleiche über Tennessee, nachdem Peyton Manning verlief. Und dann regelt sich Team Martin um. Es gibt so viele Beispiele von großartigen, unvorhergesehenen Unicorns auf der Position. Und der Mann, der folgt, ist nicht so gut. Es ist besser als die Alternative.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
If Miami played SMU, if Miami played Clemson, things would have worked out a little different. It's a little unlucky. SMU has a slightly more favorable conference, but Miami was up 21-0. You gotta own that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
I would advise Miami, just schedule cupcakes. Because you actually schedule ambitiously and you don't get credit for it. At the end of the day, they're just going to hold up your conference and what you do in it against you. So just do what the SEC schools do. Because you don't get rewarded for scheduling. Welche Schulen wollen nach Florida?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
Miami schießt nie von einem Herausforderung ab, wenn es um das Schedulieren geht. Sie haben Michigan State, LSU, Florida, Alabama eingestellt. Sie interessieren sich nicht und bekommen keine Erleichterung dafür. Jetzt sind sie noch nie wirklich in der Position, nah genug zu sein, um das in Ordnung zu nehmen, bis dieses Jahr. Sie haben Florida gewonnen und alle bewegen sich auf Florida.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
Es war September. Sie sind nicht so gut, wie sie es vorher waren. Das war kein kleines Spiel. Das war kein Spiel, das sich in den Grenzen gesetzt hat. Das war nicht so, dass wenn sie DJ Lagway hatten, sie das Spiel gewinnen würden. I saw DJ Lagway for about half of that game. It was a 40-point victory, essentially.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
Keine Angst. Pay San Jose State ein Millionen Dollar. Obwohl, das Team könnte zu gut sein. Ich will keine Partei.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
What did you think of the coffee table, David?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
Es ist ein guter Film. Es ist nicht ein schrecklicher Film. Vielleicht kommen einige Leute mit dieser Meinung weg. Ich denke, es ist ein schrecklicher Film. Und der Grund, warum wir den Plot nicht abgeben wollen, ist, dass der Schock-Wert viel mit diesem Film zu tun hat. Aber die Schönheit liegt in den Performancen. Die Dramatik liegt in der Geschichte, weil es eine zentrale Plotlinie ist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
Wenn ich es sage, gibt es einen großen Teil, aber das ist ehrlich gesagt nur die Spitze, wenn es um diesen Film geht. Es geht um die residuellen Effekte von einer Aktion.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
Ja, ich denke, dass es einen Aspekt zu diesem Film gibt. Es gibt eine zentrale Aktion, die verschiedene Formen von Räumlichkeiten hat. Und ich denke, die Komödie ist in den Situationen, in denen sie den Hauptaktor einsetzen. Und auch, dass der Haupthorror dieses Films nicht unbedingt die schlechte Aktion ist. Wie gehe ich darum, meiner Frau zu sagen, dass dieses Ding passiert ist?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pro-Cupcake Show
But it is a movie that there's before the coffee table and after the coffee table. And I would recommend it will impact your holiday if you choose to watch it on Thanksgiving morning.

Ich kann nicht glauben, dass ich das sagen werde, aber ich will Aaron Rodgers zurück. Nein, du, hör auf. Der Gedanke von Aaron, irgendwo anders zu gehen und großartig zu sein, irgendwo anders zu sein, würde ich lieber, als ein Jet zu sein. Ich bin seriös. Ich kann nicht Sam Darnold jede Woche sehen. Ich kann nicht Gino Smith jede Woche sehen. Ich will nicht Aaron Rodgers irgendwo anders gewinnen.

Yes, I think Georgia is a lot better than Georgia Tech. A lot better? They went to overtime, dude.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Right, so no one knows anything about college football other than you. He asked me a question, I gave him an answer. We saw them play.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Eating Humble Pie
Ich habe einen größeren Punkt gemacht, dass ich den Playoff sehen möchte. Ich kümmere mich nicht um den Playoff. Ich kümmere mich nicht um, was du sehen möchtest. Ich kümmere mich um, was ich sehen möchte. Und was ich sehen möchte, ist Alabama. Wie siehst du den Georgia Game?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Eating Humble Pie
Yeah, they lost to Syracuse. Too late, though. I mean. But that's one fewer loss. I know, but it's when you lose. That also matters. Alabama lost this month. Put up three points. They're Alabama. That's not a good argument.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Eating Humble Pie
Or South Carolina, who beat Clemson two weeks ago.

Having a good fourth quarter is a ridiculous reason to put SMU into the playoffs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
1917, das ist das Jahr, in dem er gespielt hat. Der Grund, warum ich denke, dass die Chiefs ein Team des Destinys sein könnten, ist, weil es so scheint, dass das nicht nachhaltig ist. Es scheint so, dass sie nicht immer die Art und Weise gewinnen, wie sie es gewinnen können. Every week they seem to find a new way to just sneak by and win a game.

Lucy, off the field, the bell of the ball this weekend was Timothee Chalamet. Did you see what Timothee Chalamet did this week? Were you impressed by his football knowledge or was this just a situation where an actor was acting?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
A doink off of an upright to then go through the other upright or be a field goal to win a game as time expired. Incredible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
I like the idea. I don't know if you remember, because this is a couple years ago, and it was baseball related, when A-Rod was doing Sunday Night Baseball, and they were like, yeah, J-Lo really gets in there and helps A-Rod prep, and she hands him notes, and she's there at the blackboard. writing things down.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
I like the idea of Kylie and Timothy just every Saturday going over what's going on in college football just in the event that one day college game day comes calling to have them be a guest picker. Have their own playoff committee. Yeah, exactly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
I think it ended up being like 4 and 3, so it wasn't even that great. He just had like a ton of knowledge.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
It doinks out. Absolut. Ich sah eine Sache, die es war. Sicher für unsere Mannschaft.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
I sometimes wonder about that. I sometimes wonder about that. I think last week, like, Dude Perfect was there, and they're like, Yeah, if you make it, we have to, blah, blah, blah. And he's like, yeah, I don't want to donate money to charity. And they're like, whoa, what are you saying?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Die Sache ist, dass jeder eine zweite Chance bekommt dieses Jahr. Und das ist wirklich das, was sie tun. Ich mag es, dass sie ihre Distanz verändern. Die Sache ist, dass sie es auch herausgefunden haben. Wenn du witzig bist, ist es ein Risiko. Aber wenn du es kannst, einen Field Goal zu schießen, hast du den ersten verloren. Weil du weißt, dass der zweite ist, der zweimal so viel Geld wert ist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Du kannst es auch, aber manchmal kriegst du nicht die zweite Chance. Lucy, ich weiß nicht, ob du das weißt. Du weißt es definitiv nicht. Gestern hatten wir hier unten am Vivo im Dolphin-Mall für die Jets und die Dolphins. Und wir waren so inspiriert von Pat McAfee. und das Geld, das er mitgegeben hat, dass wir einen Wettbewerb hatten. Das ist nicht der Grund.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Ich habe 185 Dollar mitgegeben, die waren in Stugatzes Koffer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Es war ein Wettbewerb und ich habe der Person gesagt, du könntest sein Autografbuch gewinnen und sie haben es falsch gemacht. Und ich habe gesagt, okay, McAfee hat fast eine Million Dollar mitgegeben. Das ist, was wir tun werden. Wir werden hier zwei oder nichts machen. Wenn du gewinnst, bekommst du zwei Bücher oder... You get nothing. And then we kind of altered a little bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
It's like, okay, you get one book and whatever's in Stugatz's pocket. Now, I didn't ask for his permission to do that. And it ended up being $187, but they let him keep his lucky $2 bill.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Ja. Es ging direkt wieder raus. Ich sah eine lustige Grafik auf der Internetseite. Es hat die Rekorde für alle 1-Score-Games für die Saison überwacht. Richtig. Die Chiefs wären 2-11, glaube ich. Wenn du ihre 1-Score-Games-Rekorde überwacht. Wirklich? Yeah, they'd be in last place. They'd be the worst team in the NFL. That's amazing. Or in the AFC. You know what?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Wir haben es auf dem Weg bekommen, weil wir jetzt wissen, wer in den College Football Playoffs ist. Ja. Die Bracke ist raus. Die Rankingen sind raus. Ja. Gewinner und Verlierer, Lucy. Should Alabama be justifiably mad? Because they seem to be kind of babies about the situation. They lost three games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
They haven't done it, but they haven't needed to, because they're the Team of Destiny right now. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Warte, du denkst, es wäre ein schlechtes Anruf für sie?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Ich denke, er wird es nehmen. Lass mich dich etwas fragen, denn wir haben es gestern auf dem Show gesprochen und Stugatz hat uns gesagt, dass eine der Gründe, warum es Sinn macht und eine der Gründe, warum Bill Belichick sich auf diesen Job bewegen soll, ist sein potenzieller Einwanderer in dem Lacrosse-Programm. Haben deine Ressourcen dir etwas darüber gesagt?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Ich mag die Idee, dass wenn du undefeiert gehst, und das ist natürlich sehr spezifisch für dieses Jahr, aber wenn du die einzige Mannschaft bist, die undefeiert geht, dann wählst du deinen Weg. Also es gibt nicht mal ein Re-Seating. Du kannst nur wählen, wer du jeden Rund willst.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Nein, ich meine, wenn ich die Leute hätte, die für den letzten Platz spielen würden, würde ich Middle Tennessee und Mercer wählen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Okay, Leute, lasst uns nicht verrückt sein.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Sie bekommen ein Pick für den gesamten Bracket. Sie können also wählen, wann sie ihren Gegner wählen. Sie müssen es also nicht in ihrem ersten Spiel machen. Sie können es vielleicht im zweiten Spiel halten, wenn sie sich zufrieden sind, wie der Bracket für sie aussieht.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Well, no, they can't because you already have the... You're forced to play the winner.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Ich bin seriös. Das ist ein seltsamer Take dieses Jahr. Das wäre für dich ein guter Verlust für die Bills gestern.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Was ist das? Das ist kein guter Verlust. Es war ein guter Verlust. Es war ein tolles Spiel für Josh Allen. Verstehst du mich? Ich denke nicht, dass jemand jetzt für den MVP challenge ist. Er hat sechs totale Touchdowns, drei russische Touchdowns, drei passende Touchdowns. Kein Spieler hat das jemals gehabt. Ich verstehe. Weißt du, was das Spiel für mich gestern gemacht hat?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
I was going to say, do you think that he feels like he let the Crimson tie it down? He's like, you know, if I would have been there, this wouldn't have happened. Not on my watch. Maybe a little.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Lucy, are you going to Army-Navy?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Und es ist eine rare Erkennung. Das Spiel gestern hat mich in der 4 Uhr-Winne gesagt, ich schaue nicht in die rote Zone. Ich habe nur dieses eine Spiel gesehen. Du hast nur dieses eine Spiel gesehen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Los geht's mit den 2 Yachts. Wir haben noch viel zu sagen. Wir haben die Gewinner und die Verlierer, wir haben das Ende der Saison und das nächste Segment. Wir haben Billy's Big Board Bets mitgebracht von... Warst du nervös?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Ja, also 2-1 gestern. Hier ist das Wichtigste an 2-1, was ich gelernt habe. Du hast 2-1 jede Woche. Hall of Fame. Du gewinnst Geld.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Ich glaube, ich hatte zwei Wochen dieses Jahr, die 1-2 waren. Ich hatte keine 0-3s. Ich hatte ein paar 3-0s. Two and one pays the bills. That's where you live. That's how you get to 38 and 17 on the season. Yes. Two and ones over and over and over again. So I'll take it. It wasn't granted.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
The two and one is not how I expected it to come yesterday. I thought Johnny Smith over four and a half.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
That was the first one that I picked down on my three. The first one that I was feeling confident about was Johnny Smith. And they didn't throw to him until overtime. It was crazy, but whatever. Don't need to get to that now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Ja, du willst es? Ich will es. Ich warte auf etwas. Alright, I have two losers and one winner.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
I think I'm going to start out with a loser this week. So you're going loser, okay. I'm going to start out with a loser right now. Alright. It's rude to just say this person is a loser. This loser comes from a game that we featured earlier. Are we good? Oh yeah. Loser. Steelers running back Cordero Patterson. Why? Tell me. His stats yesterday?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Das ist seltsam, wenn du das tust. Ja, und ich habe gesagt, Red Zone, nicht für mich jetzt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Vier Karriere für drei Jahre, eine Rezeption für negative zwei Jahre und ein Fumble verloren. Das war für Daryl Patterson das Spiel gestern.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Lieblingsspieler. Der Verlierer. Nur weil ich dachte, es wäre eine lustige Stat-Line. Das ist großartig. Wir gehen weiter. Willst du meinen nächsten Verlierer? Ja. Okay. This is a game we haven't really discussed yet in Winners and Losers. Falcons-Vikings. Falcons 21, Vikings 42. You have a loser from this game. Sam Darnold. Yes. I mean, he might be a quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Oh, all right. Wow. Rare game. My winner is also from this. Sorry. Okay. Who's your winner?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Incredible segue because my loser, Kirk Cousins. He failed at his revenge game where nothing seemed to go right. The fans were seen with t-shirts that said, quote, we'll never forget you, Kurt. K-U-R-T. Not his name. Fantastic job, by the way. He was booed while taking the field. He had two interceptions and he lost. Poor Kirk Cousins. They'll never forget Kirk Cousins over there in Minnesota.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Sie waren zu früh weggegangen. Außerdem hatte ich massive Fantasie-Implikationen in diesem Spiel. Fantasie, fragst du? Ja, es wird auch von Smirnoff präsentiert. No one asked you. I did ask with my eyes. Now you can see me. No, you were looking at me. It is presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
We were good with that one. You want a winner here? Do you have a winner or a loser? Do you want to throw in here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Du brauchst wahrscheinlich keine Übertragung. Ja, es ist möglich. Nicht ein einziger Ziel vor der Übertragung. Denn auch das seltsame No-Look-Pitch war nicht für ihn geplant. Also war es nicht mal ein Ziel für ihn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Stinker, he won the game. Three receptions, like 44 yards, game winning touchdown. Stinker was McDaniels.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Aber hier ist die Sache, weil sie ihn nicht benutzen, dachte ich, dass sie ihn benutzen würden. Tyreek ist wieder über 100 Yards, weil sie jetzt nur Spielplanung für Jonu Smith haben, was verrückt ist. Sie haben 32 Punkte gespielt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Winner. Yes. Oh, Winner. Wow. The Raiders. With their loss, they hold the number one pick in the NFL draft right now. Yeah. While they're tied with the Giants for the worst record, according to Tankathon right now, they own the tiebreaker due to strength of schedule. Now let's play a quick game of looking ahead. Looking ahead, the Raiders face the Falcons, Jaguars, Saints and Chargers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
While the Giants face the Ravens, Falcons, Colts and Eagles, things are starting to look good, I think, for the Raiders.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
It may not be up to Antonio Pierce. Raiders have lost nine straight games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Dion gets a head coaching job. He's like, you know what? Cam Ward. It'll take him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
In our listener league, guys, I told you guys early on, after the one o'clock window, I was like 495th. I said, boy, do I need a four o'clock window push? Aber ich hatte vier Spieler im 4 Uhr-Klub. Hast du den Druck bekommen? Ich bin auf dem 59. Platz gekommen, aber nur aus dem Geld. Josh Allen war mein Verteidiger. Ich glaube, ich hatte fast 50 Punkte gestern.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
So we had a three Smirnoff watch party. Our next one is supposed to be for the NFL Draft. NFL Draft is in Green Bay this year. I heard some rumors. We may be shifting. Instead of going to Green Bay, going to the city with the number one pick. Could be in Las Vegas, friends. Wow. And dead in company playing at the Sphere. Alright, never mind.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Du sagst, ich mache eine von Billy's Big Board Bets, die von Chuck Lorre aus der Comedy-Serie Bookie gebracht wurde. All right. Rico Dado, über 66,5 Rushing Yards. Last week 112, the week before 86. Bengals defense ranks 23rd in the league right now against the Rush. Seems like this may be an easy one. Hopefully 66,5 Rushing Yards.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Well, hold on, now I wanna know if it's a rubber match. It's big, it's big. I'm gonna find out. Alright, while you look that up, I'll give you the second one. Brandon Aubrey, over one and a half field goals made. He only has two games this entire season where he hasn't done this. Hmm.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Es war die rare Situation, wo ich 180 Punkte hatte, was gut genug ist, um viele Wochen zu gewinnen. Der Sieger unserer Liga hatte gestern 256 Punkte. Das war verrückt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Willst du den letzten? Ja. Billy's Big Board Bets, von der Comedy-Serie The Bookie. Von Chuck Lorre und Nick Buckeye, mit Sebastian Maniscalco. Saison 1 ist jetzt im Stream. Max, Saison 2 beginnt am 12. Dezember. Der letzte Pick. Joe Burrow, über 1,5 Passing Touchdowns. Er hat es schon 4 Wochen lang gemacht, 9 Mal dieses Jahr.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Hier ist das Ding, ich wollte nicht sehr stark auf die Cowboys gehen, weil zuerst hatte ich 3 Cowboys-Picks und ich dachte, ich weiß nicht, wer dieses Spiel gewinnen wird, ob es die Cowboys oder die Bengals wird, weil Joe Burrow... Heute ist Simpsons Fun Day auf Monday Night Football. Du kannst es auf Disney+, ESPN+, all diesen Streaming-Services sehen. Ich werde es schauen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Letztes Jahr war ich gespannt. Ich habe die Toy Story 1 gemacht. Die Toy Story 1 hat einen etwas schwierigen Start. Ja, ein bisschen Lack. Ja, aber die Simpsons-Winnerin, Mina Kimes, hat einen Moment. Sie wird auf der Simpsons-Broadcast sein. Sie wurde simpsonisiert, glaube ich. Ich denke, sie hat einen Simpsons-Charakter von ihr gemacht.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Sie ist auch die Zielgruppe des Netflix-Games, das sie an Weihnachten haben wird. Sie wollen, dass sie das Spiel macht. Das wäre spannend für sie.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Sie ist exzellent. Sie hat die Werte von Mina. Sie hat einige Spiele umgebracht. Das wird es wahrscheinlich sein, wenn wir ehrlich sind. Ich wette, Noah Eagle wird auf einer dieser Netflix-Spiele sein. Ich garantiere dir, ich garantiere dir, schau.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Noah Eagle über halb ein Spiel auf Netflix. Ja, genau richtig. Da ist er. Noah Eagle. Es ist ein Lock of the Year. Netflix. Es wird passieren. Es ist immer ein Noah Eagle.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Noah Eagle macht ein Netflix-Spiel. Es ist da. Das ist ein Bonus-Bet. Brought to you by Bookie. You know it's gonna happen. It's him or Collinsworth. Which one? Jack? I'm gonna go with Noah over Jack.

Ich hatte fünf Flammen gestern und ich habe noch 59 geschafft.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Diese Flammen können verletzend sein. Sie können wirklich. Die Flammen sind wie sie normalerweise sind.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
There's three of them now. Flame for me yesterday. Josh Allen, 54.88 points. Wow. I finished 299th.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
How many people participated? There was over 600 yesterday, I believe. Wow. Excellent.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
God bless football, Mikey, eh? Gott sei Dank, Fußball-Fuentes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
When healthy, the Rams are sneaky good. They were a 500-team headed into yesterday. Man, that offense, when everybody's healthy, crazy. And Stafford, when he wants to be one of the best quarterbacks in the league, Is one of the best quarterbacks in the league. When he wants to be. He doesn't always seem to want to be, though, which is weird. Are you saying when he feels like it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Yeah, when he feels like it. Sean McDermott, it's crazy how you think that he's not going to win a Super Bowl with Josh Allen. He was almost fired last year. Like, very close to being fired last year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
They're not going to fire him after this year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
I don't think they're going to be out in the first round. I have a new game I want to play a little bit later today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
We have winners and losers. I also have a game that I want to debut today called We Good? Huh. We can get to that one. Whenever you want today, Scott, we good. And then we have our big board bets later on today as well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Okay. Really? You're flexing it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
I only have a Sharpie. Can I use a Sharpie?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
All right, so this is how it works. Saints... Okay. Hm.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
The gist of it is, I don't think we need to talk about the game. We good? 14-11, Saints beat the Giants.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Terrible win. Terrible win for the Jaguars.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Browns 14, Steelers 27. We good? I hate to not talk about James in a week. Yeah, we good. That wasn't a part two to the Brown Steelers we saw two weeks ago.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
I'm good. We good. Jets 26, Dolphins 32. We good. We good? I mean, we did. I feel like we talked about that game a little bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Well, I'll say this. I didn't vote. I just asked you guys we good. You said yes, he said no. Okay, so what do you say? Well, I'm not the... But you are in this case.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
God bless football. It's presented by Smirnoff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Jets, Dolphins, I asked if we're good. Here's the thing about the Jets and the Dolphins. You finally got the Aaron Rodgers game that you wanted, where he throws for over 300 yards and it didn't matter at all.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Also war das nicht es. Nicht gestern. Das war ein Masterclass und ein Verlust. Ich habe Dominik Foxworths Show gehört, der heute hier ist. Und sie haben eine interessante Frage gefragt. Und ich dachte, es wäre lustig. Also werde ich es euch fragen und es von ihnen stehlen. Okay. Hat Aaron Rodgers sein letztes Spiel in der NFL gewonnen?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Nein. Weil du denkst, er kommt zurück oder du denkst, du hast einen Winn auf dem Schedule?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Ich meine, du hast Jags, Jags, feisty, zehn Punkte in der vierten Quartier gestern. Feisty. Dann hast du Rams, Bills, Dolphins. Wo ist dein Winn? It has to be Jaguars. It has to be the Jags, yes. Do you think he's coming back?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Are you guys excited about his Netflix show? I'm not, no. It has to be an annoyance to you guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
If it was going well, you'd be like, yeah, this is great. It's going horribly, so you're like, I do not care what this man's doing. And everything I see on here is going to be another reason I can blame him for why we're not doing well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Who's going to have Week 17? Week 17 is last week Dolphins. They're not winning that game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
It's Jaguars, Rams, Bills, Dolphins.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
They might be a team of destiny. And I'll tell you why, Mikey. Please. Before you even react, because you seem to not like the team of destiny situation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
I think you need the Broncos to win that game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
The Broncos go to 9-5, but then the Broncos have Chargers, Bengals, Chiefs, which are all losable games. Agreed. And then the Colts schedule.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Well, but here's the thing. The Colts schedule moving forward after the Broncos is Titans, Giants, Jaguars. Those are all wins. You need a Colts loss, I think, because I think that the Colts could then win out after that and I think the Broncos could use the win and then lose out. And then, by the way, I was looking at scenarios, Chargers are still in play here. They are very much in play.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
If the Colts and Dolphins both win out, but the Colts, well, that's why I want the Colts to lose to the Broncos next week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
If the Colts and Dolphins end with the same record, the Colts get in, because the Colts beat the Dolphins head-to-head in one of those garbage games when Tua was injured.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Viele Leute denken, dass die besten Szenarien sind, um die Kölner zu gewinnen. Ich würde sagen, dass ich die Broncos in diesem Szenario gewinnen möchte. Und die Chargers haben die Buccaneers, die sie verlieren könnten, die Broncos, die sie gewinnen sollten, in dem Szenario, in dem wir die Broncos verlieren möchten, dann die Patriots und die Raiders.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Sie haben auch einen einfacheren Schedule nach den nächsten zwei Spielen. Wir könnten eine Situation haben, wo mehrere Teams 10-7 sind. Ja. Ja.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: You Good?
Ich bin gespannt, dass sie gestern gewonnen haben. Sie könnten gewinnen. Sie könnten... Ja, ja, ja. The Dolphins are weird, because the Dolphins, Tua has a good game, the offense looks good, but also it takes you to overtime to beat the Jets. So, I don't know. I'm not very confident, should they make the playoffs, that they're going to make a very deep run.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Building Up To The Belt Move
I do think building a powerhouse is... I wonder the difficulty of building a powerhouse in a sport that's lower revenue or not quite as nationally known, right? Because theoretically, if you're dominant in that way, it might be something that becomes easier. At the same time, without the resources to recruit, maybe it's even more impressive to be able to have something that sustains that way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Building Up To The Belt Move
UCLA with John Wooden, maybe? Good one. And they won, what, eight out of ten championships? Green. God, that's a crazy run in Bill Walton as well.

Like you at the bar mitzvah.

Is the donation like gambling? So you can put in a donation with certain odds and then you have to pay out other odds if your team loses? That could be kind of fun.

The Big Suey: Building Up To The Belt Move
I think this is actually a really good idea. I like 24 hour because especially with bowling, like there are so many built in breaks that I think you're in good shape here. I think this is a smart thing to do. Can I get the flight paid for?

The Big Suey: Building Up To The Belt Move
In 2021, Alexander Townley, a UK resident, gained notoriety for being paid $6,804 to watch every episode of The Simpsons and receive complimentary donuts. But there's no indication he got sick as part of the job. Of course, this is via Google AI, which is probably wrong. 30 seasons.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Building Up To The Belt Move
I mean, they went 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004 as one run. Then 2009, 2010, 13, 14, 15, 16. And hadn't won since then. So this is a really long gap in the span of the time where they've been this dominant. It's almost, I mean, in that way, it's reminiscent of the San Antonio Spurs, right? Where they could, in that run with Duncan Ginobili... They would win a championship, maybe even win a couple.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Building Up To The Belt Move
Turns out this guy was hired by a website to watch every episode of The Simpsons because there had been so many coincidences of them predicting the future that they wanted someone who could watch every single episode, take notes of every single episode, and send it back to this website to see if it correlated with anything that also got predicted in the future.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Building Up To The Belt Move
They have done a bunch of predicting, but this one I think is AI generated. Let's find out together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Building Up To The Belt Move
I think they won one back-to-back or two out of three. Would go six or seven years and then be in the same situation again with that same core where Popovich, I guess, could be the parallel there. But this is a level of dominance that far surpasses what the Spurs were able to do, obviously.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Building Up To The Belt Move
I'm going to show you how to do it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Building Up To The Belt Move
So it's the Gino Auriemma dynasty is really what you're saying, because because theoretically each each run of players had their own mini dynasty within this long term one. And that's why that's why I think the word drought is actually makes sense, because if you're taking it in this run of time where he's been the coach nine years is a huge chunk of that. Right. That's.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Building Up To The Belt Move
a quarter of the time he's been a coach and that they went that long without a championship considering the amount of championships they have I think that what Jess is saying makes sense which is the game has evolved so much in the time since Gino's last championship was won at UConn with the group of players that he had at the time that now you can look at this in some ways is more impressive that he was able to now in a new age of women's college basketball lead a team to a championship with a dynamic player like Paige Beckers and the
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Building Up To The Belt Move
Well, especially in college sports, I think so, given the amount of older college coaches stepping away from the game, right? In whatever sport you choose, look across all of them. There's all these coaches, particularly we look at college football, right? And all of these guys who were, you know, established powerhouses have stepped away now. Even down here, Jim Laranega at UM, like...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Building Up To The Belt Move
He stepped away because the game is changing, passing you by all of these different things to see Gino now in this stage, in this iteration of women's college basketball, having this amount of success. I mean, look, the recruiting has always been there. So you could argue it was actually like not winning over the last nine years is a surprise considering how good their teams have been.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Building Up To The Belt Move
But to be here now has to be impressive. And especially when you look at the amount of time that's passed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Building Up To The Belt Move
I've been to probably about 100.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Building Up To The Belt Move
Of course I've seen the belt move, David. But I'm trying to keep us pro-Semite over here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Building Up To The Belt Move
It just means it was a good party.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Building Up To The Belt Move
Because, mind you, she was a two seed, right? So you can add a couple more this year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Building Up To The Belt Move
There are four. There are four number one seeds. That's sort of cheating, isn't it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Building Up To The Belt Move
Yeah, because that means you have to not only make it deep enough in the tournament to face these number one seeds that often, but to beat six of them, not just having gone up against six, but to have six wins over one seeds in the tournament, considering how good you have to be to get there. I don't know.

Hey folks, it's Mike Ryan and I need to talk to you about something that I use religiously. Anytime I'm hosting a big dinner party, I want to impress people and I get food from some of the most iconic, famous places in the country. You know what helps me do that? Goldbelly. This amazing site where I order from all the time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Best Of Ron Magill
Yeah, I hear him wheezing. He's definitely most likely in the animal kingdom to miss a hard network out, it would appear.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Best Of Ron Magill
Not one of your stronger impressions. Ron, I imagine this elephant over here is probably not going to make the trip, being that he's bigger than our tight studio.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Best Of Ron Magill
Anything can happen, especially at the Clevelander. I'm pretty sure there have been elephants there in the past. You never know. Now, there are warnings out here that the elephants can throw things with their trunks. That is true.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Best Of Ron Magill
Yeah. Right? With this whole marathon, that's what it's all about. A live television element. Anything can happen. So you guys could be riding an elephant down Ocean Drive.

Hour 2: Best Of Ron Magill
Well, there's a partition of glass. That'll protect me. It'll be fine. I'm not a bird person.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Best Of Ron Magill
Got attacked by a bird. Ducked my head down into a spiked fence. You know, broke all the skin.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Best Of Ron Magill
It was a vicious, it was a vicious, you know, standard pigeon, but it was, it was, he was angry.

where you can get all these amazing foods from all across our great country. They will ship free to your door anywhere in the U.S. of A. Gold Belly will ship you Philly cheesesteaks from Jim's or Pat's in Philly. I'm treating my office right now to a cheesesteak party from Pat's, courtesy of Gold Belly. And on top of that, I threw in some original buffalo wings from Anchor Bar in Buffalo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Best Of Ron Magill
Owls generally freak me out even before I grew to fearing birds because of the whole exorcist neck thing. And they're just always up to something.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Best Of Ron Magill
Yeah, I see that. You can keep this guy here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Best Of Ron Magill
He's just going to stay in your arms the entire time, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Best Of Ron Magill
That is not a noise I like to hear. Move on to the next one. Move on to the next. Feel free to stay home, bud.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Best Of Ron Magill
Stugatz, Dan, I think it's perfect, don't you? Yeah. Maybe a little Cody injected in there? A little Cody. So, obviously, the Stugatz ape jokes are pretty easy. Are these the type of monkeys that sling shit at each other? No, they don't. And first of all, they're not monkeys. Well, the ones in the studio for the 24 hours are.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Best Of Ron Magill
Proud of it. My ape status. I didn't know that. That's what makes the difference between an ape and a monkey. No tails, no monkeys. Dan, tell us what you think, brother.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Best Of Ron Magill
Now Ron, obviously I don't think you got room in your transport vehicle to bring giraffes to the studio. We're basically here because it makes for cool video as part of this whole teaser thing. But it's a good opportunity to talk about the cool experiences here at Zoo Miami because this is one of my favorite things to do with my daughter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Best Of Ron Magill
It's incredible. Neck's almost as long as Drew Brees'.

You can get Kansas City's most legendary barbecue from Gold Belly. And if the pizza near you sucks, they will ship you New York style pizza from John's on Bleecker or Chicago deep dish pizza from Lou Malnati's. I do that all the time. Or even New Haven or Detroit style pizza. If you are truly gluttonous, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Best Of Ron Magill
Kind of feel like I've seen YouTube videos of two giraffes just absolutely going at it, swinging their heads and fighting. That's true. That's how the males fight for dominance.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Best Of Ron Magill
I imagine after 24 hours, we're going to be feeling a lot like this guy. Oh, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Best Of Ron Magill
this the porcupine so after 24 hours i'm not really a normal morning person so maybe i'll start getting prickly like this guy i'm gonna work in the animal puns pretty big here ron i can tell yeah yeah porcupine is just a big specialized rodent really kind of interesting these quills are actually modified hairs they don't shoot their quills out like people think
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Best Of Ron Magill
Ron, as you know, our time over at the mothership. This was one of those controversial moments. We tried to get a hippo named Dan Levitard. We thought we had it. Then we lost it. And I mean, you guys ended up winning out because it was a sizable donation made. But exactly. After all those years, we finally got a hippo named after Dan. And this is Dan Levitard, the hippo.

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Reaction? College Football Playoff Reaction!
I've become a Bucs fan because of it. I love it. I love it. I love watching Baker play. Quite honestly, I think he made one of the greatest throws in NFL history to McMillan. That catch and throw was unbelievable, and the TV broadcast angle does it no joke.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Reaction? College Football Playoff Reaction!
Yeah, McMillan. Yeah, he mimicked a gun, which you can't do. By the way, after they scored the touchdown, they fired cannons.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

We're looking like Indiana Jones. Alabama Jones had me dying. Someone finally addressing, yeah, you guys cheated, right? You guys paid. That's why you're so great. You paid. And then everyone's squirming. And Nick Saban not playing along with it. No, he was so mad. He's like, this is a fun show, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Reaction? College Football Playoff Reaction!
The no fun police? The sun is dangerous. Made me laugh, yeah. Especially at that age. And he seems to have a good tan, so I don't know.

Hour 1: College Football Playoff Reaction? College Football Playoff Reaction!
It's not an old man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Reaction? College Football Playoff Reaction!
I think that SGA example on game day is a good example of, like, why has this show become so surly? And I look at what's happened. It's crazy. You had the FSU thing happen with Herbie, and you had Nick Saban come on, and I think they deferred to him. Credit to Pat McAfee, who I know is pretty polarizing, remains to me to a degree.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Reaction? College Football Playoff Reaction!
But especially on that show, there was talk that he may not even come back. And I think by just being himself, maybe toning it down a little bit, but by comparison and contrast to the rest of it, he is so welcome. That energy is so needed because it has become a wet blanket of crotchety college football takes that make me feel bad for liking this sport.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Hey, folks, it's Mike Ryan. It is Big Game Week. And I've got just the thing to make your big game time a Miller time.

family and great tasting light beer. Tastes like Miller time. Miller Lite is brewed for taste. It hits different than other light beers and when you're hosting your ultimate game day party, why don't you bring out a beautiful silver platter of that amazing white can and know you will make everybody there happy because Miller Lite is the original light beer since 1975 and still the very best one.

Boise didn't get blown out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Reaction? College Football Playoff Reaction!
And to your point, they've already said, it seems like that's being changed immediately. The whole bye week thing. All that's guaranteed to those teams now are just playoff position, but they're going to totally reevaluate the byes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Reaction? College Football Playoff Reaction!
But that's a feather in the cap for the expanded playoff. Is it not? Because right now everybody's picking Ohio State. Ohio State would be on the outside looking in.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Reaction? College Football Playoff Reaction!
Yeah, and yet if you watch the playoff games, I don't think they're playing particularly well. As ridiculous as it may seem, that home field advantage was the entirety of the reason why they won against SMU. SMU blew several opportunities to take control of that game. Boise State also blew some opportunities there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Reaction? College Football Playoff Reaction!
I think my takeaway, and I'm so glad we missed that first week of reaction because it was asinine. Oh, this is why you don't put Indiana in there. People, as if they were actually holding on to that, as if that were any sort of take entering the CFP, that you don't put Indiana in there. No one had that take.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Reaction? College Football Playoff Reaction!
And Kirk Herbstreit goes on TV, armchair quarterbacking the situation, and everyone does the same thing, pounds a table for the SEC. But then the week afterwards, we realized, oh, we should have cooled on that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Reaction? College Football Playoff Reaction!
But I think taking anything that we've seen from the bowl games, Alabama against Michigan, what we saw from South Carolina, who didn't even know who Illinois players had been saying, like, they actually thought we were Syracuse. They had no idea who they were playing. These are exhibitions. There's opt-outs everywhere. I don't believe in using a bowl game as credence to support a take.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Reaction? College Football Playoff Reaction!
They don't really matter. They're just these funky things that exist with bastardized versions of teams. So I'm not down with that, but I think the takeaway here should be CFP got it right. They ended up getting it right. Once Clemson won that game, they got it right. And here we have a scenario in which everyone is, the odds-on favorite is Ohio State to win this championship.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Reaction? College Football Playoff Reaction!
And that's not something that would have been around had they not expanded these things.

Hour 1: College Football Playoff Reaction? College Football Playoff Reaction!
There's just nothing that pisses me off more after a college football playoff game than say... see, that team lost, so they shouldn't have been in there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Reaction? College Football Playoff Reaction!
I would like to seize on that and ask Dan, have you noticed what's been going on with college football media personalities? Because they've gotten more and more surly. and they seem to have turned against the fan base that helped get the ratings to where they're at.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Reaction? College Football Playoff Reaction!
It's almost as if they welcomed in Nick Saban as an elder statesman, and they're all just trying to impress Nick Saban with how such a hard-ass they can be. I really think Kirk Herbstreit came away forever changed by that exchange that he had with FSU fans, and he's just made a projection across all of college football fandom that,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: College Football Playoff Reaction? College Football Playoff Reaction!
isn't this the fun sport isn't this the one that we all gather around and say like this is school pride this is this is cool stuff you turn on college game day and everyone's telling you what's wrong with this guys you're the one that came up with the cfp idea why are you shitting on it one week into this whole expanded thing can we have some fun here all right uh we can have some fun in a moment with dominic can we just have some fun

The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
Oh, I think he certainly has a lot more value because... Part of this value is teams would be looking at him as a rental. This is an expiring deal. It comes off our books. Maybe someone gives him his extension. I don't have a doubt that he's going to get a big money deal that will satisfy him. It may not be to the team that he gets traded to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
But in terms of what you can get back, you get more back because he's an expiring deal at his age. That's right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
Especially for a Golden State, the value for me is that I don't have a commitment beyond this year, and I can make another run with it. I completely agree with Jeremy, by the way. It doesn't matter. They could have gotten Damian Lillard. Hell, they could have won Larry one year. Jimmy was going to be mad no matter what if he didn't get his extension.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
And the Heat was always going to resent him for going along with a plan that runs counterculture. Okay, we'll save your body. We'll follow this along. We'll pay you to not play. Become the playoffs. You got to be that Jimmy Butler guy again. And he got injured in the play-in tournament and it blew up in their face. And they were at their wit's end with it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
Maybe a misstep by Pat Riley before the season. I think we've all been kind of playing chess. And yes, Jeremy, I get what you're saying. You said he showed up day one. He actually didn't. He showed up late to media day. They have their public comments that seemed relatively aligned. Even after Jimmy Butler was saying, damn, purple and gold, that looks good. This was all a cat and mouse game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
And I think Dane was absolutely right to say Pat Riley checkmated himself. I think number one, it was pretty tone deaf by putting that statement out because half the fan base by the time that thing came out was pretty divided on whether or not you keep things going with this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
And also you back Jimmy Butler into a corner and Jimmy Butler's the greatest ever at blowing things up and getting his way and being able to force his way out of a franchise. And you made that be the only move, which in turn probably affects the return that you're going to have on him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
Yeah, they deserve this because their whole talent acquisition strategy seems to be have the other superstars somewhere else make this kind of mess and we could be there to pick up the pieces. And you were playing with fire when you brought Jimmy Butler in, knowing his history, and it's finally happened to them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
It was a great relationship.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
The tequila that invented tequila.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
Yeah, but we were having the questions, is Jimmy Butler a superstar before the Heat acquired him? And then he left little doubt through his own performance, I might add, in the playoffs. Also, just as like an on-air community note, it's mighty convenient for Jeremy to sweep aside some of the other failures in their talent acquisition pursuits as conjecture.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
No, they failed when it came to Kevin Durant. They failed twice. They failed their entire time down here. And I think that the biggest misstep here in this franchise is they kept playing this game of chicken. And now Pat Riley has so little leverage because this is an absolute tire fire.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
And it's a tire fire in part because Pat Riley sauntered in and put out a statement thinking that it was 1997 again, totally not reading the room, totally not understanding that Shams had a better beat on what was going on than he did. I think, yes, you can totally criticize their lack of foresight here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
When Shams is out there, who isn't wrong, reporting what's going on in your house, and you're defiant, and you're pounding the table, and you put out a statement, and then you put the guy who you don't put into a corner, and you have zero leverage now. Zero. Zilch. You mishandled this situation.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
This is like when Tom Brady and Gisele put out a joint statement. This is not a failed marriage. It's a very successful marriage. We had a lot that we're proud of and we achieved. And I would look back on the Jimmy Butler and say, wild success. Outperformed. Let's put that to the side, though. Pat Riley is president of this franchise, has a duty to maximize the haul for Jimmy Butler.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
And he misstepped several times here. And now he's got zero leverage. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
I know they got injured, but it was also the Magic. Within your own division, a team that is a relative punchline to you, that you never even entered a season thinking about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
The Heat Media thing, it is a little funny in that, look, I am certainly, was a willing participant in carrying water for this franchise. But then the Damian Lillard thing happened, and I realized, oh, we're just a pawn, and we are willing and able mouthpieces for this franchise, and I can't disassociate my hand in that wrongdoing. So that was an eye-opening experience.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
It was an eye-opening experience for me, and we did this entire just ridiculous season where we know where this is all headed. We're going to spend two years just treading water. Let's at least speak the truth. Let's at least acknowledge our missteps. And there are just certain aspects of heat media that refuse, that they're just going to carry water all the way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
And what I hated the most about this whole Jimmy Butler thing is they turned on a dime the second Jimmy did that thing, which in my mind changed nothing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
it was just speaking it out there all it changed was miami's leverage and the return that they were going to get on this zero foresight or they just turned a blind blind eye to it and for them to so willingly and transparently just turn on jimmy butler after people were saying these things for months and months and months and they were the first people in your mentions to go at you it's just a bad look and like no public capitulation for them no accountability they just keep it moving and it was one of the things that turned me off to this whole franchise and its fandom like
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
They need to rebuild their whole mantra. They need to rebuild this whole franchise. And they're off to a terrible start because trading Jimmy Butler could actually help rebuild your franchise, could actually bring back assets. But you wanted to pound your chest and be the godfather one more time, even though you went to high school the same time Joe Biden did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
And you just totally misplayed it because you thought you knew better than the best information guy in the sport.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)

Well, the record, too, itself seemed like one of those unattainable records in NFL history. Whenever you look at the NFL receiving records, Jerry Rice owns damn near everything, and it seems like it's impossible to catch. And he did that, and it was just like a confluence of emotions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
You won the game, you put it away, you clinch a playoff spot, and as a walk-off, you get your franchise's greatest receiver that crowning moment. It was really hyped up. to see in somehow still the second best way an athlete has ever left the field of play for that franchise.

You don't think they're going to make that back in merch opportunities?

The Big Suey: Jeremy's Jimmy Butler Tears (Feat. David Samson)
Dude, you're trying to resell tickets, physical tickets, to a Roy Halladay perfect game after the fact. I think the Bucs and the biggest sport in the country can find a way to pull $3 million of a return on that investment.

It's calling Canton, seeing if the field's available. Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
How do you feel about the dolphins? Not great. Not great. And even worse by the fact that right after the game, Stephen Ross was like, you know what? We're good. Everything's staying the exact same.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Stu Gatz, I've been doing some thinking here. By the way, I want to welcome everybody back to God Bless Football presented by Spiranoff. We do game days. Please drink responsibly. The Spiranoff Company in New York, New York. I've been doing some thinking about this one versus one that we were kind of joking about heading into the last break and Canton and all that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
What if every year the bi-week teams have like their own Pro Bowl games against each other? Like a little mini Super Bowl preview, right? You know what I mean? If things go the way that they should go and the one faces the one next year, here's a little preview of how they would fare in dodgeball.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Dodgeball. We'd bring back drone drop. That wasn't a thing. That was a little thing for a little bit, then they stopped doing it. Just throwing it out there. I don't know if Roger's listening or watching this week's episode. Roger, if you are, just a little food for thought there. Roger Goodell.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Well, you got to be smart about it. Don't go too hard in the doctor. Dan Campbell would play all of his starters. That's the problem. That's why I'm telling you I'm shocked that Dan Campbell accepted this buy. I can't believe it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Yeah, you're showing me your dog. What do you mean you changed it? Hold on a second.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Can we handle that afterwards?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
I didn't know. Losers. Spag's hot seat? No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Everything's staying the exact same next year. Don't worry. We'll figure it out. Chris Greer, you know what you read? Maybe he's going to retire, step out. Nope, he's going to be back. Mike McDaniel, he's going to be back. You know that Tua's not going to be going anywhere. And the only person that has said, I'm not coming back, is Tyreek Hill.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
I do like Baker. I don't have any confidence in the Buccaneers winning or going on a deep run. I thought for a time this season, there's a sneaky little team. They could make a run in the NFC. I do not believe that anymore. You don't? No, I don't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
We're picking our own playoff teams here? Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
I was going to say this may be a one-week dalliance.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
I like that. Maybe. I like that. Your team is the Bucs path or projected path. And whenever they get eliminated, you then inherit that team. And when they get eliminated, you inherit the next team. So ultimately.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Yeah. You're going to be like an Eagles fan or a Lions fan at the end.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
that's not really, I don't, I don't, I don't know how it works. That's not really Tyreek Hill's decision, but he's decided, you know what? I'm done here. Thank you. I'm going to move on to somewhere else. It's like, buddy, you have a contract.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
The Chargers are three-point favorites on the road at Houston. Yeah, Houston's been bad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
I'd be surprised if the Broncos beat the Bills.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
I mean, eight and a half points. They should beat the spread.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Hold on. Are we playing if the season ended today?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Right. Is this if the season ended today?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Not officially. Well, I mean, if we're doing this and then we do if the season ended today, we're doing the exact same thing. Hmm. Are we?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Yeah, but we're going through every matchup right now. I know. So we would know what happens if the season ended today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Yeah. Yeah. This is one. Cause like Tyreek has had like situations where like he tweets something and it's like, what is he just tweeting that he doesn't want to play anymore? He wants to be a coach. Like, no, no. What he meant was, and then it's like, Hey, happy new year to the chiefs. And it's like, no, no, no. What, what he meant was is,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Yeah. I'm not going to question Mike Tomlin. You're not? No. Why? I just, I've learned. What do you mean? Just don't question Mike Tomlin. What have you learned? He's won one Super Bowl. Whoa. You're off to Tomlin, man. Wait a second. Wait a second. You've been telling us he's coach of the year for, you know, 15 years now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
You say he's the greatest coach of the NFL every single year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Bill Cowher's got two. I don't know what we're doing. Did you hit your head? What's going on?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Jeez Louise. What'd you do for New Year's, Stugatz?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Okay. Sorry for you. What'd you do this year for New Year's? What's going on here? I did nothing for New Year's. Yeah?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
We did that at 9 this year. There you go. We did the old balloons in the ceiling with like a... like a tarp or whatever. We pulled it down. The balloons came. Balloons were laying around on the floor for four days after. They'd slowly pop. There was confetti inside the balloons. It was a whole mess. Everyone was scared every time a balloon would pop, but it was fun for about four seconds.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
He wants the Chiefs to, like, win so that the Dolphins get in. And, like, he's had a lot of these moments where he, like, will tweet things where he's like, no, no, no, what Tyreek really means is, and it's like, no, no, but this is him, like, directly saying, like, yeah, I'm going to, I think I'm ready to move on. And they're like, no, no, but what he meant was, like, no, guys, it's pretty clear.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Yeah. All right. I look forward to that, I guess. I don't know how I'm supposed to respond. No, I don't look forward to that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
This is a big football day when we've gotten off track. Mike Fuentes, you didn't do the episodes with us that we were doing, the audio-only episodes during the break. But we caught on to what we think may have been a falsehood from Stu Gatz where every time we were recording, and he will defend himself now, every time we were recording, he was on his way to drop someone off at the airport.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Isn't she studying communications? What is she going to study abroad for?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
She's having the time of her life. She's there now. Studying communications in Australia? Yeah, she's there now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Wait, why did she fly back to New York to go to Australia? Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
It's in three days. Are you going to go visit her in Australia? I am going to, yes. She's just there for a semester?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Want to join me? I don't know. I'm trying to see. Maybe something lines up. Do you have any NFL games in Australia this year?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
I'm trying to expense you a trip to Australia. Let's not just write it off right away. Well, I got news for you. God bless football, mate.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Tyreek Hill wants to go somewhere else at this point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Still got some breaking news this morning that obviously now is much later in the day on the DraftKings Network. It's this afternoon, so it's been discussed all day long.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
That's true. It is tomorrow in Australia. Did you see the flight?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
That's true. Oh, my gosh. You know what? She should be breaking news to us. Hold on a second. Send her a Zoom link. Exactly right. Let's send a Zoom link to Stugatz's daughter so she can tell us all of the NFL news since she's a day ahead of us. Because we're moving a little slowly here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
I imagine he flies there for this time of year. You know what I mean? Like, Schefter's just in Australia now, so that's how he gets ahead of everyone else.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Yeah, 1230. She's probably been studying all day. She's exhausted in Australia. She's definitely not up right now. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
so uh the breaking news out of australia starting anyway doug peterson has been let go really or doug marone as i call him yeah we want that's a deep cut that's a deep cut for those of you who have been long listeners we had uh we had peterson on the show once yes and billy introduced him as doug marone and he was offended and he had every right to be i didn't even i said coach marone which was like i got way too comfortable
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
The wrong Doug. Yeah, I was trying to be respectful and say coach, and I just went wrong. But really, I mean, especially in light of the news today out of Australia.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Doug Peterson, Doug Marone. Is there a difference?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Yeah, I mean, they've joined the same club of former Jaguars. One of them has a Super Bowl. Yes. You know, technically.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Save the money. Dominoes are dropping, Stugatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
They did the evaluation. Status quo. We've evaluated. You know what? We were right. We were right about it all. So you're now headed into next season. And it sounds bad as a Dolphins fan. I don't know why we're talking about the Dolphins after this week and we're headed into the playoffs. But I guess this is going to be our last time to talk about the Dolphins for a while.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
What if he called New England, though, and he's like, you know what? I want that job. Yeah, what do they do? I like Joe Milton.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
He looked good. He really did, Billy. I could only go by what I saw. Not so good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
That's okay. Beat the number two seed, Bills. You should get him for the Jets. Have Milton be your starter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Who's going to be your quarterback? Who's going to be the washed up Jets? Kirk Cousins.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Are you drafting a quarterback? He's terrible. I mean, we have the seventh pick in the draft. Not to play, though. Like, draft a quarterback to develop.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Quinn Ewers, I feel like a year ago, his draft stock was like sky high. I agree. Quinn Ewers is going to be great. And now it's like, oh, he's not a first rounder.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Yes, there's a story. Yes, go ahead, Mikey.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
If I'm Texas, I pay for part of that. Get the hell out of town, Quinn Ewers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
You think Mario's sniffing around?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Is Cam Ward going to be the number one pick in the draft? I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Good for him. I'm happy for him, but, man, if the number one pick in the draft down here, you can't make it to the playoffs? Jeez. You don't like Cam Ward? No, that's not a Cam Ward criticism at all. It's more of a Cristobal criticism. Yeah, well. Guy sucked it up for you. Sunbelt. Three games a year. Get out of here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
This guy has a season down here. He doesn't win a damn game. Has another season. He wins one game. Go to like two bowl games and then boom. T.Y. Hilton leaves. Back to three wins a season. Fraud.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Um, you, I, I don't have a lot to look forward to next season right now, just because you're kind of going into it with the exact same people making the exact same decisions and the exact same pieces at the moment. And obviously you can like look into like the salary cap and I haven't done that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
The back coach. Breaking news. Some are saying he was holding Oregon back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Let's head down to Australia.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
There's a lot of teams coming out and saying we're very happy with our bad situation, and it's really weird. We had a couple of them yesterday. We're having another one now. We're just like, ah! We're good. And it's like, no, no, no. No, you're not good. Make a change.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
The dreaded vote of confidence. It's 100% us, or I guess the management, saying, this is your last chance. Like, this is it. We're good. We're happy with this direction. for one more season and then you're done because why else are we putting out so quickly?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
I really don't get why the team owners are so eager to go out there and upset their fan base after disappointing seasons because that's what it is. It's all the disappointing teams and the owners are just running out to say, you know what? I know that you're frustrated. Stay frustrated because we're doing nothing about this. We're good. Why don't you wait a day? What are we doing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Or just do nothing. Just say nothing. Just say nothing. Yeah, just say nothing. I guess you want to like, oh, you know what? This is our guy. We want to, you know, have some calm in the building, have everybody know that, you know, we have a plan here. And it's like, but your plan here is to not fix the problem. Right. That's going on here. Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Yeah, you're not good. Right. You're not even exploring other options. You're like, you know what? We thought about this for 15 minutes. We're good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
So I don't know how much wiggle room they have there, but even if they have a lot of wiggle room, I, I don't trust the people making the decisions to make the right decisions. So, yeah. It's not great right now. You're not exactly thinking, oh, you know what? One game out of the playoffs, we're ending on a high.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
I hope that later today we get a report saying, you know what? We thought about this. Daniel Jones is our guy. We're going to bring him back. We're going to stick with Danny Dimes. He's our guy. He's on the Vikings. Oh, that's true. He's on the Vikings. I forgot. I totally forgot about that. We're bringing him back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Oh, my God. Dude, yesterday we did a stream for like four hours. Why? Why? I was anticipating excitement one way or another.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Yeah, I think we have a situation there. Okay. Yeah, I totally forgot. We didn't. Daniel Jones is gone. Right. But maybe he's back. We've got to check in with Australia.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
I'm not certain Joe Burrow is not the MVP. I'm certain Joe Burrow is not the MVP.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
No, he's not going to win it. He's not going to win it anyways. But he would have won it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
I don't think so. Yeah, he's been amazing. He has been great. He has been good. No, Bill, he's been great. Yes, but he has... Like, historically great. Yeah, but to win the MVP, there's been not much chatter of him, and it's... It's the quarterback on one of the best teams in the NFL.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
No, but, like, it's not going to... It's between two guys, right? Lamar Jackson. And Josh. And Josh. Maybe Saquon. Doubtful, though. No, he's not going to win.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
No, I'm not disputing that he didn't have a good year, but what I'm saying is him making the playoffs the last week of the season, the voters' minds have already been made up one way or another. It's not just going to be like, oh, Joe made it. Hold on, let me change my vote completely. I don't know. If he's in the conversation, maybe, but not to come out of nowhere and just he wins now the MVP.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
was three weeks longer, maybe he'd be the MVP. The Jets would be 4-0. I think they're going to ride high. Go on a three-game win streak right now. Jets are hot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Because you can even say, oh, well, you know, there was a Tua situation with the concussions, and then he had the situation. where he was injured at the last season where he may have had a partial muscle tear and, you know, it'll be fine, but there are still question marks about his health. And is he durable enough to go through an entire season?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Don't look out for the Jets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Getting hot at the right time. They are.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
I like a bad playoffs for the number two pick in the draft. So you have the number one pick in the draft is the worst team. And then you have the bad playoffs for the number two pick in the draft. But, but.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
If you win the bad playoffs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
I like the silent auction being non-financial. So you're giving up assets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
So it could be like a player. Like we will give you whoever for the number one pick. Give who? Or we'll give you my timeshare in Boca. You know what I mean? Like it's just out there and it's whatever Roger wants to kind of get. And if you give up an asset, like you give up a player, that asset, or I guess even the thing, is up for being drafted. So you could draft the timeshare if you wanted to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
It's like an ex-wife's timeshare.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Do we do NFC AFC for the bad playoffs, or is it just one big seeding of all the bad teams?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Yeah, Dak would probably then tank the bad playoffs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
The bad playoffs are the opposite of week 18 in terms of incentives because all the incentives are for the players to do badly and lose so that they can't be replaced.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Yeah, for the bad playoffs because they want to win. They get a timeshare. Yeah, something stupid like that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
The billionaire's ex-wife's timeshare.

Cause he did last year, but last year was like the first time that he did it since like high school or something. And like, I'm not going to be conspiracy guy, but lots of conspiracies going around about why he was wearing sunglasses at night yesterday. Really? Yeah. People were asking why this is a night game. Is something else going on here? It may be,

I haven't sent that invitation. I'm going to do that today. I need to reach out to him and let him know that the couch is available. The Goliks, are they both coming? They should just do the show from here. I mean, I don't book the studio, but why don't they do their show from here one day?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
You never know. Just waiting out for the right offer. I have a question for you. Those feisty Goliks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
No, but he hasn't done enough.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
The funny thing about Mike McCarthy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Did you see Jerry allegedly? I'm not 100% sure. Jerry allegedly saved $500,000 by not starting Cooper Rush because Cooper Rush was in line for like a snaps bonus. And because Cooper Rush did not play and Trey Lance played instead, Jerry saved $500,000.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
So you asked, has Mike McCarthy done enough? I had a second question, but that's the first one, yes. I think, and it's the rare situation where the answer is always no. Right. You don't even need to add on to it. Has he done enough to get fired? No. Has he done enough to justify keeping his job? No. He's just never done enough.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Again, not to be a conspiracy guy, but it was a chatter on the Internet. Was there another concussion situation we're just not aware about? And he has now more sensitivity to light. Is that why he's wearing that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
We got to do, and this will be an off-season thing because there's no need to do it during the playoffs, but we got to do it. We're going to do it right now. Worst coaches to win the Super Bowl because we've already referred to Mike McCarthy as Super Bowl winning coach and Doug Peterson as Super Bowl winning coach.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
And both of them are kind of like, okay, but they're Mike McCarthy and Doug Peterson. And Mike Tomlin. I really – what has happened tomorrow in Australia that you know about that has changed your thinking so much? Like how far ahead are you guys in Australia? Did you already see the playoff results for the first week? Like what are we doing? Yeah, you lost to the Ravens, got blown out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
What was your – if they beat the Ravens, I would not be surprised in the slightest.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
You would not be surprised. I would not. I'd be shocked.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
And it's not because I think the two teams are on the same plane whatsoever. But that seems like, yep, that's what happens. That's what happens in the first round of the playoffs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
I can tell you what happens. If that ends up being the result next week, I can tell you right now, it's you guys' analysis. I have it. I almost want to write it on a piece of paper and just save it for a week, but I'm just going to tell you what it is because I'm going to lose a piece of paper. Do it. Do it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
But I want to say it. You're just going to say AFC North football. That's exactly what the analysis is going to be if that's the result. That's AFC North football. That's AFC North. Yeah, that's what it's all about. It's a street fight every time. Every time. And that's exactly how we want it. Yeah, exactly. Throw out the records. What was your second Mike McCarthy question?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
You have to win the Super Bowl. You have to. You have to. You have to win the Super Bowl. Otherwise, it's all a waste. Yes. Right. Yeah. It's a big gamble. It's huge. They're probably not going to win the Super Bowl. Just statistically. They're probably not going to win the Super Bowl. Probably not. Because I don't know if you guys know this. Here's the stat of the day.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Only one team wins a Super Bowl every year. Right. Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Exactly right. So odds are against them here. Only one team wins the bad playoffs as well. That's true. Yeah. Number two pick on the line.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Exactly. They both should be safe. You're in the driver's seat now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
We have three games left in college football playoffs, and we're going to get to those in a later episode this week. A little underwhelming so far. Oh, my God. There's still three games to go. Arizona State, Texas. Old format. It's the only good game. There's one good game so far. Five teams deserve to be in that. Old format, we would still have the entire playoffs ahead of us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
So, you know, we can still make up for it. But new format, a little underwhelming so far.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Well, I mean, look, Tyreek Hill, obviously, it's been stated that he needs to have wrist surgery, and he's been dealing with injuries. He had a knee, quote-unquote, procedure in the offseason no one knew about until the traffic stopped. But he was not himself this year. Part of the reason the Dolphins' season didn't work out was not just Tua. Tyreek was not Tyreek Hill this year. Correct.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
I was like, could have been us. I don't want to be insulting to the quarterbacks that I'm thinking, but when I saw... I was looking around at the NFL landscape, looking at all the bad quarterbacks. I was like... What, yesterday? I'd take that quarterback. This last two weeks, I'm like, oh, man, I'd take that quarterback to start these meaningful games in a second.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Marcus Mariota, really? You find out also, Carson Wentz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Big time loser. Did you say winners and losers presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka? Please drink responsibly. Wow, man. That was loud. That was loud. Coming off a holiday. Yeah. Check the level. I didn't even hear it. We have a situation in the studio. No one needs to know this, but I'll let you guys in because we're all friends. We have a mystery cable.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Mystery cable is just plugged into Stugatz's headphone jack. We have no idea where that cable goes. It goes underneath the table and it disappears into the ground. No one knows what it's for. No one wants to unplug it. There was a hardware update while we were gone, and I truly believe... And again, I don't want to be a conspiracy guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
I truly believe Robert or someone on the hardware side just plugged the cable into a jack that they know that someone would notice. And now they're like, you know what? If anything was kind of like on shaky grounds, we can't make any changes because no one knows what that mystery cable is for. So we can't get rid of anyone that knows what the mystery cable is for.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Someone plugged that in. Someone plugged that in. And so you guys, for those of you who don't know, because why would you know? Danny B. is a guy that would just walk around with a bag of cables. You know what I mean?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Like, if there's anyone that has a bag of cables or a drawer full of cables, it's my wife, and it's because she doesn't know what any of the cables are for, and she just throws them all in one drawer, and it's Danny B., but he knows what the cables are for. Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
And winners and losers presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka flea drink responsibly. The person who knows what that cable is for. Big winner. Biggest winner in this company right now. Robert. Yeah. Also, loser are plubbing because apparently a bite burst. And I got an email saying it smelled like poo-poo here. So now there's all these machines. And I think they're dehumidifiers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
We can't breathe. There's no humidity here. It's so dry in here. Welcome back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
But it's a dry heat. It's a dry heat. We're in the desert right now. It's crazy. Like, I'm struggling to breathe. I feel like the elevation here. You're back in Arizona. It's weird. Yeah. But it was cool in Arizona. It's warm in here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Also a winner. The Tennessee Titans. Ah. Because.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
The Patriots decided to win that game, I guess, to try to keep Gerard Mayo's job, and it didn't work. He was a winner yesterday on the field and a loser off the field because he was the first one to be let go. I would say that win got him fired. It did. Yes. It did. And I was listening to Dominique Foxworth driving in here, and here's a theory. Maybe a little bit of gamesmanship from the Bills.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Letting the Patriots win so that their draft pick would go lower. Drop from one to four.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Listen, I mean, if there was ever a question as to what tampering looks like, it was yesterday in New England. Like it seems very apparent. Mike Vrabel is already the head coach of that team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Wow, in one season. Yeah. That's kind of crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Oh, okay. I thought it was like all-time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Did you guys see something yesterday? I see something that... Five wins. Moving forward, you're like, you know, that's our guy next year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Yeah, but I'm saying you didn't see anything out of Aaron. Like, oh, you know what? Let's run this back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
He did throw an interception.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
The first pass of the game was an interception. That might be your guy next year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
It can't be. It can't be. Do you? I know you do. I mean, I know you don't want Sam Darnold after yesterday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Against the Bears, right? Still facing the Bears, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Big win yesterday that they didn't need. I mean, I guess they need that for, like, their own psyche. Like, hey, we can beat the Packers. Right. But they really didn't need that win yesterday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
They really did not need that win yesterday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
He needs to come back, like, next year. In, like, Skechers or something. Nothing against fine people at Skechers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
But, like, he's got, yeah, cargo pants, like, some Skechers. Or, like, I don't think Payless still exists in the U.S., but, like, some Payless shoes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
You know what I mean? Like, enough with the cool bulls**t. Sorry for cursing. Go back to being a dork? Back to basics. Exactly right. Let's get back in the lab. Let's stop with the shoes with the tags on them. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Exactly. The capris that you show your ankle. Back in the lab. Let's get a haircut. Let's put on some contact lenses. Let's not act like we have this job locked up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
No, but they're headed into the playoffs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Playing chess. Darnold's playing chess. I got to be honest with you. It's a good loss. How? Thank you, Mike. It's nothing that has ever happened before. But if there's ever one person that says, you know what? You know how you can win the coin toss and you can defer? Yes. If there's anyone that would ever defer a bye, it's Dan Campbell, right? I'm surprised that he hasn't looked into it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Maybe he did, and we haven't heard about it. You know what?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
You guys take the bye. We want to keep playing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Mystery Cable
Yeah, you know how like in training camp you have teams that work out together? Yeah. Yeah, that's what the Lions are doing right now. They're calling anyone, like the Chiefs. They're calling the Bills. Come on, let's just get some reps in together this week.

Yeah, but it was easy to deduce that I at least got a 3, given where I was ranked.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Yeah, you can't say that. We have established. You can't call someone a Hall of Famer if there isn't.

No, don't. It's pandering. Now it's a silly thing. Okay. It's pandering. That was not a great honor. I didn't think it was a silly thing. Thank you. It's a great honor that they reserve for all-time greats, like the greatest ever, to do their things. But okay.

You aren't Cuban-born in that you're 100% Cuban, right? I'm Cuban-American. So you're Cuban-American-born. That's right. But that's not how you say that. Just like Cody Rhodes.

Well, the mystery aspects of this story, you learn something new every day. However, it seems like we're not going to really get some closure to this for quite some time as John Cena has already traveled back to Africa to finish filming. So we don't know if The Rock has not been advertised for Raw.

Howdy, folks. It's Mike Ryan. I talk to you about Miller Time all the time, but we're in the wintertime right now, and one of my favorite pastimes is to crack open a Miller Lite and enjoy myself some Miller Time during the wintertime because when there's a brisk chill in the air, it just makes everything right.

Well, I'd probably press the gas on wide receiver because if you get franchised, people pay more for a wide receiver, a prime top of the food chain type wide receiver. So that's where you probably start. And I think a lot of teams, it may not actually be up to Travis Hunter.

They may see that the value is so strong in one direction that they don't even run the risk of putting them on the opposite side of the ball.

I didn't know that this is how pardons worked, that you can just pardon people for making whoopsies that stain their reputation in their own sport. Greg, do you have any thoughts here?

Hour 1: Dan Strangles Billy On Live Television
Is there any particular reason why you're making this a hill to die on for Travis Hunter?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Strangles Billy On Live Television
He's actually played the game quite well so far.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Strangles Billy On Live Television
The reason why it was such a big storyline that Deion Sanders was going to influence this whole draft process so much is because at the time, it looked like, oh, Shador and Travis Hunter, they might be one and two. That is not the case anymore. Their odds to be drafted number one are long. And you have a situation now for the first time that you have three players that are vying for number one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Strangles Billy On Live Television
The last time there was this much mystery surrounding the number one pick, I think it was the year that Baker got drafted where the Browns were very good at keeping that a secret. But there is all sorts of uncertainty now, especially with the injury situation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Strangles Billy On Live Television
and you don't know if like i know rosenhouse has come out and said that abdul carter should be fine does not need surgery he's actually been advised against surgery but that is a pretty big thing i think ultimately if you're looking for job security the safe thing might be take the the bona fide pass rusher the number 11 from penn state that always works and you could always throw up your hands and say look we know we have a quarterback issue to address we can handle that next year which is top to bottom a better draft class for that position right

Who would have had it as baseball being the one entity to stand up against one of these executive orders? Like, no, no, no, now we're going too far. You're testing your power, pal. You can't. We're Major League Baseball. God damn it.

I could not tell you Adrian Brody's third best movie. He was good at Peaky Blinders. Angels in the Outfield? He was good as Pat Rowley.

Oh, so you're talking about Cena still? Yes, these are all the very same notes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

He acknowledged that he doesn't. So he has to turn to the rock. Yes, and it's for the world to see. This has never happened before.

Howdy, folks. It's Mike Ryan. I talk to you about Miller Time all the time, but we're in the wintertime right now, and one of my favorite pastimes is to crack open a Miller Lite and enjoy myself some Miller Time during the wintertime because when there's a brisk chill in the air, it just makes everything right.

Hour 1: Dan Strangles Billy On Live Television
It's way too soon. I don't know where we go from here. It feels like over the weekend, we reached a point of no return. Our strongest alliances falling by the wayside, the memories that we had getting along with so many across the globe, knowing that John Cena was our tried and true hero. Knowing that he had every opportunity, maybe even flirted with a line. You think back to ECW one night stand.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Strangles Billy On Live Television
If Cena wins, we riot. Still going into the face of that and holding on to his principles. Now, for what? Just so you can get a record-breaking 18th World Championship because you know you don't have it anymore? So you have to align yourself with the final boss.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Strangles Billy On Live Television
In many respects, it makes perfect sense that Cena would align himself with The Rock, being that he's always wanted what The Rock has had. He's always tried to get what The Rock has had, but he's never quite been able to push it to that threshold. Even in sports entertainment, he has never been able to take it to the heights that The Rock did. Now, he did a pretty good job.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Strangles Billy On Live Television
He was the face of the company, as we've all established, but he was just falling just short, even in his pursuits of Hollywood. falling just short, always compared to the man. And now the man is offering his entire world to you. You get to pick my brain, and you get to be a world champion for the 19th time.

Say hi to Taylor for me. It was his birthday over the weekend.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Strangles Billy On Live Television
God, I hope the first question is about Cena. I could talk about this all day.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Strangles Billy On Live Television
It's dusty. He was a baby face for 20 years. He kicked off the Ruthless Aggression era by slapping Kurt Angle in the face. And since then, he's taken us on a whirlwind. This has been years since we've done this. But it's also been years since he's been a fixture in the main event scene.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Strangles Billy On Live Television
He's carrying quite the losing streak, which is why he would find himself in this situation to turn to The Rock, knowing that he's not good enough anymore on his own.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Strangles Billy On Live Television
No! Do you mean in terms of friendship? That is ridiculous.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Strangles Billy On Live Television
Give me that. It's an open-ended question. In terms of national and international stature?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Strangles Billy On Live Television
What? Can I make new friends with all my new money? I get money for free?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Do your friends think you died?

Hour 1: Dan Strangles Billy On Live Television
And what were Travis Scott's motivations? Because he wasn't just like standing idly by. He took an active role in the attack.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Strangles Billy On Live Television
It could be accolades, too. That's why I think John Cena did this, because he's got all the money in the world. What is it that The Rock can offer him that he can't get on his own? A superstardom that is unattainable if he just stays in his lane? That's why learning at the knee of The Rock has certainly its benefits. What I don't understand is Travis Scott came to the ring looking for a fight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Strangles Billy On Live Television
He had already showed up to the squared circle, not liking Cody Rhodes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Strangles Billy On Live Television
It could be $100 million. What's the price of your soul? Because that's what John Cena gave up to The Rock. That was the asking price from The Rock to Cody Rhodes. Please, please get him out of here. I'm not going to do that. And you know, we keep invoking souls now. Final penalty, two minutes. Ramblin'. You got to get out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
John Cena... für die erste Zeit, seitdem er als Champion Babyface in den frühen 2000er Jahren geworden ist, hat er sich während seines letzten Runds mit der WWE gehalten. Es war ein Moment, in dem man sich fragte, wo du warst. Die Erde stand immer noch, Peter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
Honestly, that's just 24 hours before John Cena turned heel. In terms of seismic events, I think we can get through Friday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
And with that knowledge, John Cena still in Canada, north of the border, turned on the American nightmare Cody Rhodes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
We also turned our backs to C-Nation and... Hunderts, Tausende von Make-A-Wish-Kindern, die ihren Wunsch erfüllt haben, von John Cena. Also du gehst Cena über den amerikanischen Heel auf die Ukraine. Du denkst, Cena wäre noch größer? Ich denke, wir können uns aus dem, was am Freitag passiert ist, ausdenken. John Cena kommt nicht zurück. Glaubst du, er wird auf Make-A-Wish-Heel?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
I'm too busy all of a sudden.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
Can't do this. The children are our future.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
Peter, wo gehen wir von hier? Mit C-Nation? Ja. Weht er verschiedene Kleidung? Kann er mit den Schuhen rauskommen? Weht er mit den schwarzen Schuhen? Weht er mit den Schuhen rauskommen?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
Ich weiß nicht, ob er das kann. Du musst die Schuhe auch heilen. Anstatt nie zu geben, ist es einfach zu geben. Ich würde das gerne sehen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
Nein, ich würde es gerne sehen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
No, it isn't. Jack Nicklaus did it. Dan Marino did it. The very top of the sports food chain. Journalism profession, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
I guarantee you, Udonis has probably written something more recently than Dan. I'm going to find a Players Tribune article to back this up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
You're doing the opposite of getting out.

He called Conan Conan. Like, what's the deal with that? Man, where am I gonna go with Samson as it pertains to C-Nation? A nation left in tatters.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
You're not an active journalist anymore. I've actually gone through it. Jack Nicklaus, Udonis Haslam and Rahim Moser have all written more recently than you have. Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
It's a great honor. I will too. Why are you saying it's not a great honor? They don't just do this willy nilly. They're all people like Olympic gold medalists. They're all people of repute. He led the league in rushing touchdowns one year. Everybody has something impressive on their resume that has done that. Relationship building, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
I think vamos gatos is let's go cats. So I think that's it. The only thing that isn't actually grammatically correct is the lack of comma.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
I think you should look at it as even a bigger honor, because out of all the Hispanic leaders in this community that have the reputation that would recommend they take part in this great honor, you're a topic. Yeah, why'd they pick you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
Yeah, well, we don't know who said no. In fact, I'm going to text Ron. Ron probably said no. Ron McGill definitely said no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
Don't do that. Why did they ask him? Don't do that. You've done that move way too much.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
It's a winning move.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
It used to be. He's no longer a television personality. You're no longer a journalist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
You definitely discredited yourself long before that. I think.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
Even back then it was awfully convenient. Alright, write quarterly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
Yeah, this is why you should be saying no to it. There is no doubt in my mind, whatever is asked of you, and I think it's very little, you're going to be very bad at it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
Du wirst traurig, du wirst aufgeregt, es wird einfach ein schlechtes Aussehen für dich sein.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Auch, so weit nach Norden. Are you aware of what they think of us?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
It's easier to just say... But you're not trying to avoid it, you're trying to put it down, like you're too cool for school, like it's not some great honor, which it is. In fact, if you do a great job, they might invite you back, because everyone's gonna be like, remember all that juice Levitard had?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
Ich bin nicht wert, obwohl ich mehr Journalist bin als Dan.

The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
In a helicopter? Absolutely not. And by the way, BT Dubs, a little offended the McGills were asked. I'm going to be there regardless. Being a journalist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
Exactly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
I've seen Jack Nicklaus do it... Mike McDaniel did not do it poorly. If you think Mike McDaniel did it poorly, then you should say no, because I'm going to be bad at this. And that's the only reason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
Du musst es essen. Das ist ein unglaublicher Moment. Wiederum, sie machen das nicht vor jedem Spiel. Sie machen das nur, wenn sie eine Celebrität groß genug haben und ein Spiel, das groß genug ist, dass du eine superfamilienlose Celebrität haben musst, um da hoch zu kommen und diesen Moment zu treffen und die Leute verrückt zu machen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
You should do this because the doubts that we have in this is not journalism, ethics. No, no, no. I just don't think you're socially adept.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
At your age, you need to prove the doubters wrong. Du musst die Bühne auf eine bestimmte Komponente treffen und eine Arena voll von Leuten finden, die sagen, los geht's, Panthers. Wenn du nicht diese sehr niedrige Bar klären kannst, dann müssen wir alle uns selbst anschauen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
I am going to decide what to do with the rest of my career based on your ability or lack thereof to nail the cadence of a Let's Go Panthers drumbeat.

Yeah, stop saying splayed. It's gross.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

That's really terrible.

The Big Suey: The Great Drum Decision of 2025 (feat. Peter Rosenberg)
I don't like the smile on Rosenberg's face right now. It bothers me. Ich meine, wenn er ein Knicks-Fan ist, weiß er auch, dass sie nichts erreicht haben. Das Einzige, was sie erreicht haben, ist, dass Miami jetzt besser ist als sie, was sie nicht oft tun.

Ich mag es nicht, wie Dan in dieser Interviewsendung so einfach ist. Peter hat sogar die Tür ein bisschen öffnet. Es gab eine seismische Entscheidung, die die WWE kreativ gemacht hat. Großartig. Und es ist einer der größten Höhepunkte in der Geschichte des Unternehmens, bis zu dem Zeitpunkt, als Hulk Hogan entdeckt wurde als Hollywood-Hulk Hogan, der dritte Mann im NWO. Das ist, wie groß das ist.

I don't know how they're going to dig themselves out of the mess that the last one put us in. I assume they're just going to be like, hey, forget about that crappy ending. We're starting anew, which everyone's fine with. I'm not mourning the passing of 007. I think that they made terrible creative decisions. I'm happy to welcome our new tech overlords.

You watched all of them. I did watch about 25% of The Brutal List before I realized this is not going to win. So I'm not sure when I'm going to do this with my life. But I did watch Nora. I did watch Dune 2. I think I watched more than half of the nominated films. I even watched Sing Sing because I thought it was going to get nominated and it wasn't. And it should have been.

Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo. I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

I cease being happy for Adrian Brody about four minutes into his speech. Because it's a cool story. 20 years in between wins. His career was thought dead. Comes back. Is a two-time Oscar winner. That's an elite class. But then he started rubbing it in everybody's face. Like, hey, I've actually been here before. And he's like, real quick. I know how to do this. Real quick.

And then he goes on the most inefficient diatribe that no one actually remembers or anything like that. It wasn't super poignant. He was trying to be, but it kind of missed the mark. We were all just kind of upset because they wrapped up the previous person, and that wasn't very fair.

No, they don't hate it. They love it. It's a celebration of America's celebrating its obsession with celebrity. It's an award show. All of it is silly. All of it is dumb. All of it is them patting themselves on the back. And I think most people are kind of wise to that and admit that this is a guilty pleasure of theirs. One thing that I don't like,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

that they've done for like a decade now, because I guess one of the award show hosts were too mean when it came to respecting the categories, is they do this whole thing where they have either former winners or presenters come out and they list the nominees, but when it's an acting category, they're like, Stanley.

know why people care so much about the broadcasters and why they complain so much about the broadcasters like unless you're saying the wrong play or the wrong team scored or you're like completely confusing everything he's been fine enough like who care I honestly I don't even really think about it at times like I'll just tune into the game especially if I'm watching red zone and all of a sudden I hear his voice like yeah watch this game for five minutes didn't realize Brady was on it who cares right

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
and uh and when they they filled out the report they didn't issue blame to me or him because i said like yeah i had a green turn arrow so i went and the guy just completely ran a red light right and like and drilled me and then uh and then so we go we go through all the insurance and his insurance is like well he was not at fault i'm like how on earth was he not at fault and they're like well a lot so i go i have to pay to buy the police report the police reports are like well
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Driver A, which was me, said he had a steady green arrow and driver B said he had a steady green light. So we don't know what happened. And then back and forth with the insurance and boom, I'm out now. The deductible, my insurance is going to go a ball because this 91 year old just either lied or.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Had no idea what color the light was while he's driving around in this giant pickup truck, just ramming into people. And I will say this, and this is a controversial stance. Okay. And God bless football to all. I will say this about the 91 year old. If he lied to that police officer. Yeah. Well, one, I've thought, how far do I want to push this? He's 91, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
How much am I going to go above the deductible that I have to pay on a principled stance? Should I take him to small claims court? Should I take him to Judge Judy? Where can we go so that I can get the justice that I feel like I deserve? Because this is not something that's just going to cost me my deductible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Again, and now going to have higher insurance for years to come because this man either didn't know where he was, what color the light was, or he lied. And I would say this. If I get to 91, there's different ways to look at this. If I get to 91, I am going to make sure to do everything on the straight and narrow to try to...

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Yeah, well, thanks for bringing it back to football because it is Super Bowl week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
I did want to send somewhat of a lippy email back to the person that said this was denied and say, guys, you are the ones that are reckless here by insuring this man who should not be on the road. This should not be going on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Listen, if your parents if your parents are still driving or like when I'm older, I think that's the I would get them a car like that, like a big SUV or something just to make sure. Like, let's make sure like me, mom, people are safe when they're driving around just in case. But also they're driving around tanks, which is not safe for anyone else involved. Sure. Yeah. Anyway, Super Bowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Oh, okay. Well, there you go. Thanks, guys. Don't listen next week. We just cut to the chase and see you the day after the Super Bowl to see if Stugas was right or not.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Yeah, I mean, it's nice. It's fan voting, so thank you to the fans because they're the reason that we won Sports Podcast Awards, American Football Podcast of the Year, which is very wordy, if I'm going to be honest with you. Yeah, it is. Hey, what are you going to do? We won a British award. Thank you, Brits.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
I think you keep mentioning funny Marco. I think that you should talk to your daughters to ask them what you should talk to funny Marco about. Like, this seems like someone that would be in their sphere that they could kind of help you with. Also, if you want a connection point, uh, Funny Marco, we ran into, didn't talk to, but we ran into at kickoff for the season this year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
He was running around also the tailgates recording some stuff on videos. So if you want to have a connection point with Funny Marco, he was also there running around the tailgates doing some stuff. But he had like a bunch of handlers, so we couldn't even get within like arms distance of him to talk to him about anything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
It was definitely not Bad Bunny that we had on. It was Lil Dicky. Oh, Lil Dicky. Lil Dicky.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Do me a favor. Don't ask your kids about Funny Marco for all the parties involved. Just head into that interview with the exact information that you have now. No more, no less. Don't look them up. Don't do anything. Just head into it exactly as you are. No prep? No prep. You don't need prep. I think the two of you can kind of get along and just kind of roll with it together, you know?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
They don't call him unfunny, Marco.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
That we expected to win it? Yeah. No, I did not expect to win it this year at all. I was trying to sound more confident than I was. Yeah, we were up against Shannon. We were up against Mina. We were up against the Kelseys. We had a lot of stiff competition this year. I honestly was very surprised that we won because last year we didn't even play.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
That's Mikey. God bless football is presented by Smirnoff. We do game days. Please drink responsibly. The Smirnoff Company, New York, New York. Sad times to God. The season is coming to an end, as we've discussed. It is going to be an exciting week, hopefully, and hopefully an exciting Super Bowl. But I can't help. And I know that you're probably the same as I am.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
I can't help but start to think towards next season already, even though this season is not officially done. There's only one game left. So I feel like the scrambling is going to start soon to start previewing next season. We had the senior bowl. We have the combine coming up. We have the draft. It's right around the corner.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
I don't know if you're doing big, big boards this year for the draft, but yeah,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Green Bay-ish. I think that I heard, and this is just speculation, so it will not be Green Bay. But I think, I think... I think we may be going to Nashville since they have the number one pick in the draft.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
To do a draft show. I think. I don't think that's finalized. I think still in the works location TBD, but I think the last we heard that was the location, which will be very, very exciting for the first pick. And then after that, we'll kind of be like, so we're in Nashville and the... Yeah. The Packers have selected, and then it's like, okay, no one cares. They already got their number one pick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Interesting. But if it's not, then they were on the record saying this is a generational tie. It doesn't matter. It's a big risk.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
I mean... That would be really funny. Honestly, that would be hilarious. It's freaking Nashville. They trade the pick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
But thank you again to all the fans who voted for us because it's a fan voting award. So you guys are really the ones that helped us win this. So thank you guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Here we are at this honky-tonk and, you know, didn't go as planned.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Yeah, come on. Come on, man. What are you doing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Listen, you want to go to Green Bay so bad, let's use some PTO on that, friend. You know what I mean? Let's not take an entire crew of people to Green Bay in the middle of April.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Oh. OK, so you're ahead of the game. I was going to say we should start looking forward, but you've already created your power ranking. So you're ahead of us trying to get ahead of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
yep uh billy we're headed out to new orleans uh it is hopefully for you i am headed out to new orleans uh billy's not feeling well are you okay billy i'm worried about you man um i i'll be fine i guess we have to like 24 hours to get through this and then and hop on a bird and then once i'm on the once i land we'll power through right once i land if i have to be on radio row
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Yeah, sure. Let's do the top five headed into next year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Well, let me let me ask you something just for clarification purposes. Yes. These power rankings are headed into the season. Correct. Because we don't we don't know the we we don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
the schedules yet we know who the teams will play but we don't know where and when yeah i guess we know the where but we don't know where yeah we don't know the when so this is headed into the season your power ranking this is after the draft everything you've accounted for all of that this is the team's post-draft it's kickoff this thursday yeah boom these are your power rankings yes these are my four months early or whatever it is more than that like eight months early
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Okay. Yeah. All right. You ready? Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Well, and Cliff Kingsbury opted not to leave for a head coaching job. He's staying put. He wants to ride with Jaden, so we'll see if that works out for Cliff. It won't, but we'll see if that works out for Cliff. Not because of Jaden, by the way, just because it never works out for old Cliff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Oh, wow. Yeah, you like that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Wow. You can tell those people that in person when you go by yourself to cover the draft there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Yeah. Yeah. Who are you going to put there? I mean, I know who you're going to put there, I think. Who do you think I'm going to put there? Let's see how well you guys know me. Well, I mean, the thing is, you know who I actually think you're going to end up putting there is the Chiefs. Because you think that I think you're going to put the Eagles there. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
So then you would put the Chiefs there just to kind of confuse the situation. And now you're rethinking that because you didn't lock this in anywhere. So now you could still be going back and forth.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
You seem to be erasing there, too. I saw you scratch something out. I was just adding. We know it's adding. There's only one team. We know it's not the Lions. We know it's not the Vikings. You already told us that. We know it's not going to be like the 49ers or anyone like that. No, no. So it's going to be either the Eagles or the Chiefs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Well, this is also, he's telling us this as if it's the Monday leading into kickoff. So he already knows all of those results. I will say, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
What's wrong? They may have a chance. They may have a chance. It's very different than number one on the power rankings. They may have a chance. It's like a five maybe on your list. Not one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
with some performance enhancers, so be it. I'll do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
You should copyright four-peat right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
I mean, that guy probably has one in Buffalo. Yeah. Just call like two, two, two, two, two, two, two. You'll get a hold of him. He has all the phone numbers. Yeah, he's got all the phone numbers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
He copyrighted it. I mean, the NFC had a three-peat yesterday in the Pro Bowl games. However, I don't think anyone is making NFC three-peat shirts, so I don't think that Pat's going to make money off of the NFC's Pro Bowl game three-peat. Right. But some are saying...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
maybe maybe pat's greatest move ever some are saying not me i wouldn't dare right i mean basketball legend look at all the teams you put together championship coach some are saying best thing you ever did was copyright three repeat some said that right right got it so not getting lebron james or Some are saying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
I mean, others would say maybe if we weren't counting all of our future earnings from 3P, maybe we could have inquired about Luca down here, get rid of Jimmy Butler, the two birds with one stone situation, get rid of one disgruntled superstar, bring in another superstar who you could sign up to a long extension, maybe fix the trajectory of your organization. But not me. I wouldn't say that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
They're going to start playing now, friends. What do you mean? All of a sudden, all the ailments are going to be fixed up real quick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
You could almost count that as lunch. 5.15 is, yeah, that's late lunch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
I mean, you got something. You're coming back on Monday, the day after the Super Bowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Who scheduled who scheduled the game on Sunday? What is this?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Super Bowl Sunday. I mean, a little respect by the planning committee here. What time is that game at?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
You know, I wonder if that would be a bad experience. I'll tell you this much. I will admit this. I was on a plane yesterday and checked in on the Pro Bowl games. I was going to watch the Pro Bowl games to be ready for today's massive recap of the Pro Bowl games where we can give our winners and losers presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
I watched the tug of war and watched two battles in the tug of war. I saw Peyton telling his team, hey, if we win the tug of war, we're right back in this. And I said, you know what? This isn't for me. Pro Bowl games, I don't think are my thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
The purity of the game. I think that's what it was, is no one loves football more than me. And I think that's what happened is I was like, this... This is not football. When Jackson Smith and Jigba's out there and he's throwing multiple interceptions, we're good. Yeah. You know what? No need. I like the scoring. We scored like 140 points almost combined between the two teams. Mm-hmm.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
What are we doing? What are we actually doing this for at this point?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
You never know. Emergency. After all those interceptions. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Yeah, I think it should be. I think it should be nice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
This back to back trips thing, though, was not a good idea. Yeah. Yeah. And something seems to be going around. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
I was in Georgia for the weekend. I was there Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Yesterday we did a little Georgia aquarium action. Flew back, got in at night, and my family was sick the entire weekend. I was doing well. I thought I had dodged it all. I mean, I thought I would get this in New Orleans, and then lo and behold, it found me. So I'll bring it up to you in New Orleans. Don't worry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
I'll give you a gift that keeps on giving. Mike, do you want some of this? I'm good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
It fits. I was thinking if there's an outbreak and I'm patient, zero. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Now, I theoretically wouldn't get any of the players sick because we're not going to run into any of the ones that's playing in the game, more than likely.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Wow. You know what I was thinking the other day? What? I'm glad that we have this forum to discuss this. Michael Jordan...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
is praised for the flu game right yeah everyone's michael jim gutsy performance wow what a guy the flu game look at him he was there and he came out and yeah you know he was you know he's on his deathbed essentially and he played a game great game whatever right some people question whether or not he actually had the flu but anyway go ahead
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Well, the point is, like, I feel like if Michael Jordan tried to pull that in this year, the year of our Lord 2025, he would be like severely reprimanded. Like there's none of this come to come to work this horribly sick that you're going to get everyone else sick business going on. You know what I mean? Like, I don't I don't think the flu game would be as well received now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
I think he'd be looked at as a very selfish person.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Well, not Phil. Someone else. Like someone in HR. I don't know if there's like HR on like NBA teams, but like someone in HR would be like, hold your horses, fella. You're not coming in like that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
This is God bless football.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
I mean... That would be great. I mean, people are clamoring for that. Yes. You know? I don't think Andy's involved in that, but I do think that maybe the media is around it. They're like, well, this is a very selfish movie. Could have gotten so many people sick. And think of all the hundreds of millions of people watching at home and what an example that's setting. And what if we're able to...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
past germs through the television and he's gotten everybody else sick and it was just you know just one of those things uh before we go back to football real quick for a second yeah so the match just gave luca to the lakers huh like That's just how the NBA works now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
You just give someone your best player because LeBron's on your team and you're trying to, like, I guess maybe win him one on the way out, maybe boost some NBA ratings. Like, how did that just happen? They've been talking for weeks behind the scenes and then all of a sudden no one knew about this and he's just a Laker. Like, that's crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Yeah, I mean, it had to be Pro Bowl weekend.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
Had to be that weekend. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
You know what? Winners and losers presented by Spirinoff, the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly. Winners, the Lakers. Losers, the GM. of the Mavericks because I was going to say no one will ever forget this guy, but I don't even remember his name. No one will remember him, but also he's a rare guy. I never knew him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
I was going to say he's the rare guy that no one will ever remember and no one will never forget at the same time. Who is he? So I saw this thing, and I'm wondering how real it is, because you never know with the internet. So I saw this thing that was saying, I guess he was involved in the negotiations with Steph Curry when Steph was deciding between Under Armour and Nike.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
And those negotiations went terribly, and he has denied some of the allegations in said presentation. But in the presentation... Steph was called by the wrong name. He had a slide that had Kevin Durant's name on it. And when they did call him his name, they pronounced it wrong. And they were offering significantly less than Under Armour and refused to match the money on Under Armour.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
So those negotiations obviously did not go well for Nike. And Steph never signed with Nike. And then he went on to be... The face of Under Armour. So this GM was somewhere in that whole situation back in the day. And that's where we had seen his name previous to this situation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
I should have gone with Tank.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: 91 Year Old Drivers
I do like, before we get back to football, it is Super Bowl week. I don't know why we're doing this. And it's 100% my fault. Yeah, no, it's 100% my fault.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
I'll be watching the game with room service in my hotel room. Mike and I will have to do the show Monday in New Orleans, and then we'll fly home.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
No, no, no, no. I will be in my hotel room either with my son Mike or alone with room service. And enjoying the commercials, enjoying the game, enjoying laying down and watching the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Yeah, pitching products, going to different events, doing the show every day, all week. As you well know, it's a long week. Again, I'm not complaining. I get to go cover the Super Bowl, but yeah, it's a long week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
I could. My only problem with what he said was the room service. Like, Mike, New Orleans is a food town. Let's not just do room service.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
I will be there seven days previous to the Super Bowl. I will get my fill of New Orleans food. I will get my fill. Every single day, multiple times a day of New Orleans food. By the time Sunday rolls around, I'll be like the person at the end of a 10-day cruise who has gained 20 pounds and is trying to get back to some normalcy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
It has to be up there, right? As far as food city and as far as hosting a big event, it's right at number one. Because again, when the media or we all descend on an event, it's not about the event. You know this, Stu. It's about how does it affect us? How does it affect our week? Do we have to get in a car? Can we walk? How convenient is where we have to go? And New Orleans is all walkable.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
You don't have to get, I mean, I'm, I'm staying in a hotel that's connected to the convention center. So every day I just walk down a hallway, radio row, do the show. And I'm about a 15, 20 minute walk to the quarter to go get all the food that I want to the events that I'm going to go to. It is so convenient. That's why it's a top the list and the food is out of this world.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Now listen, Vegas you could walk. Vegas I was fine with because I walked to a lot, especially you could walk to the game, which is fantastic. That's one of the great things. And, you know, there's a lot to do in Vegas, obviously. It's different in New Orleans. The food is second to none. You can find so many variations of food.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
And with the French Quarter, you can go to an established place like Brennan's, which everybody's going to try and go to. Or for me, man, I like little holes in the wall, little dive places where you can just sit and have a beer or two. and have some nice gumbo or something, you know, and call it a day. You know, I'm past the point of staying out late.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
I used to do that when I first went to Super Bowls. I'd go out and meet guys I played with or against and go to the different parties and wake up and do the show. Man, I'm so past that. I'll go out for an early dinner unless I have an event I have to go to, and I'll be in bed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
I love it. Mike, I'm sick of dancing around this thing. Let's just go right to it. I need a Mount Rushmore of food cities in America for you, and I want you to take out the event part of it. Doesn't matter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Philly's up there. New Orleans is certainly up there. The Carolinas with the barbecue is up there as well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Anywhere in the Midwest with a good steak, right? I'm a big steak and potatoes guy. Good steak. I have to be somewhere where there's like water to get like seafood. I'm not going to be in the Midwest and, you know, order, you know, fish, even though I'm sure there are places that fly it in and it's really good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
So I'm more by region of food, barbecue food, steak and potatoes and seafood type of a deal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Kansas City is definitely up there. When I played, it's the best smelling stadium there is. And when I played there, when we used to leave and go to our buses, there used to be people that would give us barbecue. which was phenomenal. I mean, you got to get on the bus with barbecue. So that's an awesome stadium, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
I don't know about smelling, but the worst to get into and out of is a buffalo. It's tough to get in and out of, and obviously the weather can be awful as well. So that's probably a place that I'm not all that hyped up to go, even though it's a great team to go watch play. It's just, it's tough to get in and out of.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
No, I appreciate the greatness because in this day and age of football where a team can turn over so quickly. They've kept their core together, and they've filled in spots every year, and they continue to win. So I'm one of those that appreciates greatness.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
I get it when people say they want something different than Michael Jordan winning a title, than Tiger Woods winning a tournament, than Golden State winning an NBA championship. I get people getting fatigued and, A, wanting their team there instead of that person or that team that's winning it. But I certainly appreciate the greatness. And...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
I don't think, and he gets talked about a lot, but I don't think Andy Reid gets talked about enough. We talk about Mahomes. He's a Hall of Famer already. Travis Kelsey, a Hall of Famer. What the Chiefs are doing. But Andy Reid, not Bill Belichick. Andy Reid is going to end up the all-time winning of playoff games. He's only a couple away from Belichick. He's going to blow by him in that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
And I think he's at 301 and Shula's at 347. That's four years of 12-win years. which I think he can do. So I think it's Andy Reid that's going to hold all the victory records as far as head coaches are concerned. I don't know if he'll equal Belichick in Super Bowls, but I think he'll pass him in postseason wins and pass Don Shula in wins.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Andy Reid is going to go down, already should go down as one of the great coaches of all time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Wow, that's a, I mean, listen, you have to go by results, right? And I mean, that would be a pretty good stamp on his resume. I don't know if anybody will ever consider him that, but he can hold up the sheet that said, look what I've done. I mean, he'll have that on his side.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
But if he loses, he's fired, right? Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
I mean, is it unreal? I mean, how many games into the season this year we were talking about his longevity being an Eagles coach? And even the last game when Jalen Hurts says, you know, Nick finally took the straight jacket off me, and Nick says, oh, he was just joking around. No, he wasn't. No, he wasn't joking around. Nope. I mean, this is a team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
But listen, Jalen not happy with the passing game. Listen to what Pat Mahomes said after they won the Super Bowl back-to-back. He said he wasn't satisfied with the way the offense played, right? That the defense was playing better and he wanted that offense to get back to the powerful offense. I get it from a quarterback standpoint. You want to be a high-flying offense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
But this is an Eagle offense that's built around the offensive line in Saquon Barkley.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Yeah, yeah. And listen, like I picked Buffalo against Kansas City, I'm going to pick Philadelphia. against Kansas City. I think Philly is overall the better team, save for, like you said, the coach, which the play calls that Andy Reid pulls out, the roll right to get a first down on the last drive, and then that third and seventh
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
where he had motioned trips to the left so Pat Mahomes could tell it was man coverage. Then all three receivers ran crossing routes, and Samaje Pirine ran out to the left, and the man covering him just got caught up in a six-person wash. And Pirine was wide open to catch the ball and run for the first down. That's just incredible by Andy. But I just, man, I like the Eagles.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
What a great game it was the last time, except for as a former defensive player, seeing a 38-35 game was a little rough, even though it was fun to cover, that's for sure. But I like the Eagles in this one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
I mean, wow. I mean, it really is something else. I mean, but Spagnuolo's already a D coordinator with the most Super Bowl rings. He can add a fifth. He can add a fifth as a D coordinator. And I forgot which defender. Was it Chris Jones? On Kansas City, you said as long as nobody makes him a head coach, that means we still keep winning. Yes. It's truly amazing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
You know how it is. I'm not confident at all.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
It has nothing to do with that. His friend is Andy Reid.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
It's amazing how people tell other, when Jerry Rice wasn't going to be with the 49ers, don't go to another team, retire. Tim Brown, not with the Raiders, don't go to another team, retire. How the hell do you tell people to retire if they still want to A, coach, or B, play, if they still have the want to to do the work in the offseason? Because that's why players retire.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
They don't want to do what's necessary from February to August to prepare for the season. They just don't want to do it, and they know they have to be prepared. But if you're willing to put in the work, why the hell wouldn't it? Look at Pete Carroll. He's 74. Andy Reid's 66. Andy Reid has more than a few years left in coaching, as long as he wants to. Same with Travis Kelsey.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
I mean, to me, it's ridiculous to try and force somebody to retire if they still have the want to to do it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
I mean, it's just a run that you stay on. Again, the core stays together. You fill in the ancillary spots behind that, and you just keep winning. You ride this for as long as you can, absolutely.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
I don't feel bad for professional athletes in the sense, you know, oh, wow. He is like those that got caught up in the Tiger Woods era, those that got caught up in the Michael Jordan era. It happens, right? You can be great, but if you get caught up in the wrong era – There's not a lot that you can do because Josh Allen has played well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
He didn't turn the ball over this year like he has in the past. You literally have to keep the ball out of Pat Mahomes' hand on the last drive. whether it's A, to score points, or B, get a first down to run the clock out. Because you know Andy Reid is going to go for it. Andy Reid isn't going to run the ball three times and punt. Andy Reid is going to try and keep possession of the ball
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Because that's the way Andy Reid works. And you have a quarterback in Pat Mahomes that can get it done. So, no, I don't feel bad. I mean, I don't. You just got caught in the wrong air. Not to say that it can't happen next year for Josh. But, man, it's got to be mentally tough. physically guys are all prepared to play.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
But mentally, you just have to wonder when you get into the playoffs against Kansas City, it's like, okay, what happens this year? How do we lose this year? What goes on this year? It's just got to be brutal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
No, I mean, again, I don't think so. I don't think so. This is like, I remember Marty Schottenheimer took the Browns to a couple of AFC championship games and got fired.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
It's like you were going to fire Ryan Day. And again, if there wasn't a 12-team playoff, Ryan Day probably would have got fired because he lost four times in a row to Michigan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
But he ends up winning a national championship. It just seems ludicrous to think that you would fire Ryan Day over one game. Right. Just like, you know, Sean McDermott is successful. Who are you going to hire that you say, yeah, that person is going to get us over the hump?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Listen, Spags is going to get a chance to be a head coach again. I would really believe, but again, You don't know how somebody who's been a lifer coordinator is going to be as a head coach, right? You just don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Exactly. I mean, you had a stint, obviously, as a head coach. I get it with what the Rams from 2009 to 2011, I think it was. So you have a bit of history there. But I do think it would be stunning, I guess I would say, if he doesn't get a shot again. If, in fact, he wants a shot again and he's, what, 65 years old. So who knows? I don't know what's on his mind.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
No, no. In Miami, it was a blowout. It wasn't even a game. This was a game. I mean, Notre Dame started out great. Then, obviously, Ohio State went on an incredible run. And then Notre Dame made it a one-score game in the fourth quarter, made it somewhat exciting. So, no, that was only because it was just an absolute destruction in Miami. So, no, I'd still go to Mercedes-Benz in Atlanta for sure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
The issue with me and Notre Dame is all the players they're losing. A couple of wide receivers in the portal, three offensive linemen, their defensive coordinator, Al Golden, going to the Bengals. Now, they did sign Chris Ashe, who has been a D coordinator for more than a few big-time teams. But their GM... Obviously, every team has a GM now went from Notre Dame to USC, so they need a new GM.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
So that's what happens when you're successful. You get poached, and Notre Dame certainly got poached.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Oh, yeah. I mean, his former team isn't. He really can't lose. If his former team wins, he's happy. But I think he's more happy if his brother wins.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
I don't know if his body would have held up. I mean, that's the one he can always lean on. I don't know if my body would have would have held up because, yeah, Cam Juergens comes in as an is a Pro Bowl center. I mean, it's almost like they didn't miss a beat. They got obviously younger at the position.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Yeah, I could see that being one year removed, thinking about I could have been on another team, but he's got a ring too, I think. So if he never got a ring, I think it would bug to me even more.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Well, I think my point is he's happy either way. If the Eagles win, it's his former team winning. If the Chiefs win, it's his brother winning. To your point, yes, I do think he should be, and he can root for who he wants. He's his own man. But I would be rooting for my brother at this point. Blood is thicker than the team I played for.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Yes. Oh, I always said if Mike or Jake went to a different school, I would cheer for that school proudly. I mean, if it was where they wanted to go and where they wanted to be, I would be happy. It's my kids over my school for sure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
That'd be an issue. Yeah. Thanks for bringing that up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
That's where they're out of the will.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
It culminates in a flag football game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Well, there's diabetes involved again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
But it's actually to help with diabetes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
No, but there's a tug of war. There's a quarterback contest that has a trivia component to it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Well, I mean, it's the timing. Like the last blitz that he had on Josh Allen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Right? I mean, he was kind of saving that. And it's something you can do on the defensive side. You can save stuff. Not as much on the offensive side. But the defensive side, you can save stuff. And he gave Josh Allen a zone look. Right? Gave him a safety, a deep zone look. Right. And he kind of had it a little bit overloaded to Josh's left. So Josh slid left. He had the line slide left.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
And sure enough, the cornerback blitzes from Josh's right. And he and Karloftis come free and force, you know, the Hail Mary, which, by the way, I mean, should have been caught. Right. Should have been caught. But...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
regardless he he and and that's what you see today in blitzes you either overload with more guys rushing than offensive linemen and and running backs to block or you try and confuse to where you're not bringing more rushers than the offense has to block but you fooled them into calling the wrong protection and you have free rushers and that's exactly what spagnuolo did
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
He confused them, called the protection to slide left, and what you have to have is players who can disguise because you'll see before a play a quarterback give a hard count or in college they'll clap their hands thinking that's going to go to try and have the defense give up what they're going to do, right? Have a guy step out of position. Oh, he's coming. He's backing off.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
So try and give them a read. Give credit to the players on Kansas City for disguising, for not giving it up, for that cornerback not showing that he was going to blitz until the ball was snapped. So it's a combination of trying to fool the offense and then having your disguised guys not give away what they're going to do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Yeah. Yes. The quarterback has 30 seconds to throw at targets, but gets 10 seconds added if one of his teammates, now actual teammates, so like CJ Stroud and Nico Collins are doing it. I know that for the AFC.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
You know, it's a storyline either way, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Oh, definitely. We'll gain weight together all.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
I think there's one person who would be upset if we don't. Well, there is definitely... But we don't really care about upsetting that person.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
So if Nico Collins gets something right in the trivia, he gets 10 more seconds.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Here's my problem with the square game. Everybody that asks me to do it, the squares are like $2,000 each. And I'm like, I don't... They're like, yeah, my buddy's putting together one at a bar, and you want to go have these on a square for $2,000. Who are you friends with? Who are you friends with? I rolled deep.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
I was like, I'll give you $5, and that'll get me in on a square.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Well, I get asked to do them. I've never once participated in one of them. They just all assume that I would be in because I do like to throw a few shekels on a game. I mean, a dozen prop bets in a Super Bowl, that's my gravy right there. A dozen $10 bets a time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
In my field day, it was red versus blue, and purple always won.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
And it was like Michigan. It was Michigan, Iowa. It was the under half a point for Iowa.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
And then it hit, but somebody didn't actually place the bet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
You know, you pay the $2,000 beforehand. So, like, there's no kneecaps coming. I would have to break kneecaps if I don't get the money afterwards.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
And I'm like, fifth alternate for trivia? Russell Wilson is going. Russell Wilson is playing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
A little good on Fuentes' part is making it $10, because if he made it $50, everyone would have been like, no, I would have never agreed to that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Josh Allen is not going to the Pro Bowl, and by the time they got down to the alternate, I believe Russell Wilson is going.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
I mean, that's, I'm, I'm, well, I gotta, I gotta go sign my name in the, in the box.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
I actually go sign my name in the box.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Billy, now what you do is you make up a whole bunch of names except for like two people who you get to give you $2,000. And you walk away with $4,000. Hey, Jim S. won.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
From 1 in 100, you're taking all that money from K-Funk, and I'm all for it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
You send him the picture of the boxes, and there's two K-Funk boxes, and the rest say Mojo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
How many jobs did the NFL save in their budget by downgrading from Hawaii to Orlando? Like you don't have to buy round trip airfare or nothing for any of that stuff. Now, guess what guys, everybody's going to keep their job, but you're not going to Hawaii. You're going to Orlando.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
I love that the foundation of your argument is that a bunch of NFL pro bowlers are afraid to tell their mother-in-laws no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Oh, I get it. I get it. I totally understand. Like, I picture, like, scary dude from the Hawaii, James Harrison being like, No, I can't tell my mom.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Because it's going to take – Yes, she does need to sit first class.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Guys, I'm the third alternate for you if you need someone else to fill in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
Something touched the ground that doesn't touch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Bowl Box Scheme
No, I'd rather stay home. I'd rather stay home. Thank you. I'm good. If this was a regular season game, Billy might be questionable, but Super Bowl, you play through it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Goodbye, Lark
Wir haben sie. Ich dachte, ich hätte alle coolen Positionen ausgelöst, aber ihr habt gesagt, wir machen Coaches. Also habe ich gesagt, hey, es ist der letzte Episode, wir machen Coaches. Sind das Head-Coaches? Das sind Head-Coaches, Head-Coaches nur. Aktuelle Head-Coaches nur.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Goodbye, Lark
He's gonna give us a couple of first-year guys. Blind rankings. That's why they're blind. You can't see them. Next coach, number two off this list. Sean McDermott, Buffalo Bills.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Goodbye, Lark
He's gotten further than Kevin O'Connell, and you guys are just praising Kevin O'Connell.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Goodbye, Lark
From the guys that only care about how many Super Bowls a guy wins. Okay, anyway.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Goodbye, Lark

Jim Harbaugh, Los Angeles Chargers. No, but they have mountains there. Der Punkt ist, dass es anders ist. Jim Harbaugh, Los Angeles Chargers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Goodbye, Lark
Okay, okay, wait a minute. So you were praising Kevin O'Connell for what he did with Sam Darnold, but you give Ben Johnson nothing for making Jared Goff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Goodbye, Lark
He's not the head coach. He wasn't the head coach. Oh yeah, because Dan Campbell knows quarterbacks. Yeah, you're right. You got it. You figured it out. I thought we were ranking head coach.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Goodbye, Lark
Where do they rank Ben Johnson in Trebekistan? Where do they rank him?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Goodbye, Lark
Nächster auf der Liste ist Kansas City Chiefs Andy Reid.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Goodbye, Lark
Letzter Trainer, Seattle Seahawks, Mike McDonald.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

He would have been followed by Jonathan Gannon. Dann Mike Tomlin, Kellan Moore und dann Dave Canales.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Goodbye, Lark
Du kannst nicht auf ihn lesen. Er ist wie ein Papier.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Goodbye, Lark
Oh, wow. Oh, that's like a heavy hitter there. Yeah. Jeez.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Goodbye, Lark
Well, that's what I'm saying. Is dad going to be on the list? Well, is dad's foot going to be on the list?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Goodbye, Lark
Nein, er war nur einmal da. Neun ist gut für Matt Sims.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Goodbye, Lark
Er ist also ein 10. Ich habe ihn auch ein 10 gesetzt. Auch, weil ich auf Verabschiedung war und ich das Interview verpasst habe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Goodbye, Lark
So I'm going to put him at 7. I'll piss him off. He's going to 7.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Goodbye, Lark
I was just putting that guy in both episodes. Hey, Tony's behind you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Goodbye, Lark
God bless football, Mikey A. God bless football, Fuentes. God bless football, Stugatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Yes, Will Levis says he's trying to be the same dude despite QB battles, but the same dude is what got him there in the first place. Yeah, I would not be the same dude.

The Big Suey: Whose Shoes Are Whose?
It's crazy, bro. It's crazy. We had the cleaning lady the other day, right? A couple of days ago. And the night before, I got a baby. A three-month-old kid. Very hectic in my life, right? Baby's screaming, crying. We got to give her a bath. We got to put her down. We got to do this. We got to do that. By the time I get home. My wife's like, hey, the cleaning lady comes tomorrow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Whose Shoes Are Whose?
We got to clean up. And I'm like, we're paying her to clean up. And she's like, no, no, but we got to clean up before she cleans up. So we don't look like slobs and we don't look like dirty people. And I'm like, I get that. I'll put away a couple of things that we've got out. But I'm not going to physically get on my hands and knees and scrub something that she is going to scrub tomorrow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

You're going to do like 25%, so they only have to do 75% instead of 100%.

Is that how you see it? Yeah. When's Mason the Lion Dixon?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Whose Shoes Are Whose?
Yeah. No, he's working his way back. Do you want me to give you the little synopsis for it, or do you just want to watch it? It's like his friend goes to prison. His friend, who's the better boxer when they were younger, goes to prison, gets his life taken away, and then Jonathan Majors feels like Creed took his life and lived his life.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Whose Shoes Are Whose?
And we're your boxing trunks, too. I think we got a LeBron-Windy situation here. He never said he was his best friend.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Whose Shoes Are Whose?
Okay. Okay. Boy, obviously we talked about Russell Wilson. That's on my Don't Look Now sheet. Don't Look Now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Whose Shoes Are Whose?
Okay, good. Don't look now. We haven't even mentioned this on the show. I don't know who's behind me. It's Pat Riley. What is that? It's Pat Riley. Don't look now. Stephon Diggs is a patriot. Not mentioned, not uttered once on this show, by the way, last week. Stephon Diggs, now with Drake May. Interesting, interesting veteran receiver, veteran presence. Is it a good veteran presence?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Whose Shoes Are Whose?
I don't know. That's why we're not looking. He wasn't that bad. He wasn't that great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Whose Shoes Are Whose?
Taylor's a different kind of guy. The problem with Taylor is that he's never seen anything. Any movie. Any movie whatsoever. He just watches tape. That's it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Whose Shoes Are Whose?
That is true. But again, Mike likes it. Drake May. Hawk, what do you think? Getting a veteran guy in there, trying to help him out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Whose Shoes Are Whose?
Mack Hollins at the two. What if they go up and draft Travis Hunter, too? Nice little one, two, three.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Whose Shoes Are Whose?
Don't look now. And it's actually gaining steam. Diana Rossini commented on this and reported this earlier today. You got to talk into the mic. Where's my mic? You got to talk into it, Mike. The Packers were one of the teams that tried to ban the push, the tush push.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Whose Shoes Are Whose?
And now it's starting to gain some steam where across the league, there may be some people led by the Packers that want to cancel the push, the tush push. Got to do it. Has to happen. There we go. I'm back. All right, what else do I have here? Don't look now. You're looking at your paper. How is that possible? It's the psychic thing where I can see where the Ark of the Covenant is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Whose Shoes Are Whose?
Sorry. Vikings have not. Yeah, hold on. The Vikings have not. Oh, I got his hand. I got his hand. The Vikings have not commented on the QB1 for their team. Is it going to be J.J. McCarthy? Could it be? Aaron Rodgers. They haven't closed the door yet. Don't look down.

LeBron breaking open to the top. He gives it to Reeves. Reeves to the basket. Layup good. Oh! LeBron never even touches the ball. The Bulls are out of timeouts. Giddey from half court. It is good!

GBF- So Many Upsets
I told you I'm itching to pick an upset, but it's not here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
Oh, this. I'm just going to write Ravens in there. Come on, Justin Fields. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
I'm going to take the number seven Patriots because Aaron Rodgers still hasn't gone there. If Rodgers goes there, I might change my answer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
Kenny Pickett, come on. Super Bowl champion, Kenny Pickett.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
I don't think they can make the trade because the Falcons have already paid such a big sum. It doesn't help them to move him at this point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
16-40. You know what? Give me the 49ers and the biggest upset.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
I'm sorry. The swag is gone. Last I checked, Dan Campbell's still there. Give me the Lions. You know what?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
Oh, you got upset. Yeah. Crazy. I'm picking all the upsets, and then you pick the one time I don't. Go ahead.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
I'm glad he got up there. Give me the Packers. Okay. Fuentes?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
Everything that Kevin O'Connell does seems to work, at least in the regular season. This is the playoffs. The Bears added so much to their offensive line that they could win based on that. Give me the Bears. Wow. Fuentes?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
It's almost like the committee picked games to make sure that we had to pick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
I picked the Chargers last time. We got some stuff for it on Twitter. I'm not going to change it now. Give me the Bengals.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
I mean, give me the Chargers. Give me the Chargers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
Name a guy on defense. Wow. You brought that guy. They didn't get better.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
I want to pick the upset. I can't. Give me the Ravens.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
Give you a reason, Mike. Everybody on the Rams is going to retire.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
Yeah, the Rallis defense. That thing started really playing well towards the end of the year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
I believe in Ben Johnson, the offensive coordinator, not necessarily Ben Johnson, the head coach.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
It certainly has a lot of implications. I don't necessarily believe that it takes them out of drafting a quarterback at number three. I do think it takes them out of trading up to number one. I think those deals pretty much preclude you from making that move. But I think if Shador Sanders is there at three and – The other guy they might want was taken at two.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
We know how this goes. It's the Chiefs. Really? We know how this goes. We've seen this. We've seen this almost every year for the last five or six years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
Yeah, until it didn't. Until it didn't. But we're like in movie number eight of the franchise. I was talking about the Ravens. Yeah. We've seen it every year. That's true. And until they do it, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
You know I'm going to say upset, right? No, give me the Eagles. Give me the Eagles. Fuentes? Damn Eagles.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
You should have had me. I'm feeling silly. You should have put the 49ers in. All right. You should have put the 49ers in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
I have such a special place in my heart for Baker Mayfield. I have such a special place in my heart for Baker Mayfield. Give me the Commanders.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
You know what? No. Give me the Chargers. Give me the Chargers. Jim Harbaugh has them going in year two. Billy, pick the Chiefs. I'm going with the Chiefs. Yeah, well, that's kind of what I wanted. That's kind of what I wanted.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
I think they could draft Sanders and put him on the bench for a year behind Russell Wilson. The interesting thing about the Wilson and the Winston contracts are if neither of them play, they cost like $14 million total between two of them. So you could easily justify spending $14 million on two very high-end backup quarterbacks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
After careful consideration, I've decided that I think it's time for some new blood in the winner's circle. It's time for a new Goliath to take over in the NFL. And I'm going to say that that is going to be the Washington Commanders. They win the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
Yeah, but we're not sure about anything at this point. I think the Titans are still leaning Cam Ward.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
Here's the other incentive that makes me think they're still not out of the... I'm going to call it Shador Sanders at three. Let's just be honest. That's who I think it's going to be at three, if it's anybody. The reason I think that it's... still very likely is, drafting Shador Sanders at three might buy the GM, Joe Shane, and the head coach one more year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
No, I don't have another good one, but I have another one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
Because if they're in this, their jobs are dangling by a thread. And if they... put all their faith in Russell Wilson after what we saw last year and Jameis Winston, what we saw the last decade, then they're pretty much resigned to the fact that they're gone. But if they draft Shador and they go, well, you got to give us a chance to develop them a little bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
More Mike Lee to get fired this season. Shane Steichen with the Colts or Mike McDaniel with the Dolphins?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
This was really a question to ask a couple of Miami guys what they think is going to happen with Mike McDaniel.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
Yeah. Great signing for them, by the way, to keep it away from the Jets. Is that why you're saying that? No, no, no, because they're Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones are so similar in like what they can do versus like what they can't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
And their, their offense won't change no matter if, if Anthony Richardson has to pull himself out for a drink of water or a breath or something, it doesn't mean it's going to be good though. I think it's, Consistency is always better. I guess that's right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
Let's, let's see where they are when he's 30. Let's see what the contract offer is when he's like 28. Yeah. Let's see if like he gets a, Hey, we'll give you a five year deal. He's going to like, no, I don't want five year deal. Give me a two year deal. Like let's see what happens.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
Maybe, maybe they buy themselves one more year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
Yeah. Hey. Here's a headline. The New England Patriots found their number one receiver. They signed Stefan Diggs to a three-year $69 million deal. I'm started to think of Stefan digs as rich man's Brandon cooks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
It seems like he's kind of have that same career trajectory where everywhere he goes, he tells everybody he's the one and gets paid like it, but they just keep shipping them out and they just keep moving on from him. This is what his fourth team, the Vikings, the Texans, the bills, and now the Patriots. Um, I guess it helps them a little bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
I mean, it gives them at least somebody that's a little more dynamic than Matt Collins for Drake May, but I don't know. Stephon Diggs never scared me when he was in the division with the Bills. and he still doesn't with the Patriots.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
it's good and and the the fun thing is billy and i you you and i talked yesterday like early and we were like wow nothing's going on and then all of a sudden the nfl as it always does gives us gifts yeah they gave us things yeah it's talked about one of those things that we uh we we met earlier in the week we were doing some planning what do we want to talk about we planned some games around some contracts that had been signed and then boom all of a sudden new contracts are signed new deals are announced we just had to kind of
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
They essentially changed offensive coordinators and said, Stefan Diggs, you're no longer the one. And then all of a sudden Buffalo took off. They won like six games in a row that year. It was something ridiculous. As soon as they said, you know what? Diggs isn't the focus. Josh Allen. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
Okay. All right. Then, yeah, give me a ball pool.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
So I was going to pick the Texans until you told me Tua was hanging out with Baker. He's learning how to win. Give me the Dolphins. Wow. Fuentes?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- So Many Upsets
CJ Stroud doesn't want to curse anymore. That's apparently his new thing. And Tua's learning how to hang with Baker. Yep.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 Naps You Can Take (feat. Brian Scalabrine)
I watched some of it. I was kind of working, so I didn't really, I had it on the background a little bit.

The Big Suey: Top 5 Naps You Can Take (feat. Brian Scalabrine)
I do not want to start any sort of comment that we're supposed to have a discussion on with Channing Frye was right. No offense to Channing Frye. It just makes me feel like, wait a second, why are we saying this? First of all, face of the league stuff is a made up fake title, right? I've never grew up thinking to myself before I was a journalist, hey, who's the face of the NBA?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 Naps You Can Take (feat. Brian Scalabrine)
And I probably never would have.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 Naps You Can Take (feat. Brian Scalabrine)
Well, of course, but I never would have. You never had to ask the question. If I wasn't a journalist, right? And so the idea, but he goes, oh, everybody's going to nitpick your game, et cetera. Well, it doesn't matter if you're the face of the NBA. If you are a player that everybody wants to watch because you have an incredible game, people are going to dissect it anyway.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 Naps You Can Take (feat. Brian Scalabrine)
They have to. Why not? They have to. I've already told Noah Eagle, he's got to do it. Create stakes for every single game. Have people who maybe aren't as big NBA fans listen to that and be like, hey, I know what's happening now. Let me watch this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 Naps You Can Take (feat. Brian Scalabrine)
They say mean things about me. My favorite point that somebody tried to make on Face of the League, the contrived conversation that I've never heard more than this year, was you can't be a foreigner. It can't be an international player to be the face of the league. Why not? Who's ever said that? Who ever says, oh, I'm dissecting Victor Wimbonyama. I'm watching him all the time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 Naps You Can Take (feat. Brian Scalabrine)
He is the guy that's on my TV all the time. Not the face of the league, though. Too foreign.

The Big Suey: Top 5 Naps You Can Take (feat. Brian Scalabrine)
We'll decide if you get to talk about Darius Garland or not. What happened the other night against the Pistons? And this isn't so much a what's wrong with the Celtics question, because obviously it's a regular season, but what do you like about the Pistons?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 Naps You Can Take (feat. Brian Scalabrine)
And no Monty, because Monty was starting Killian Hayes for whatever reason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 Naps You Can Take (feat. Brian Scalabrine)
i f with that dude well a couple of things though scouts see if you agree with me here like early on in his career like i interviewed him a bunch pre-game he had nothing to say like he was not really that exciting of a personality he has definitely grown in that respect has more to say but not really a whole lot right and then when he does say stuff after winning he's just basically parroting other people who have already won and then a part of the game and this is not really an insult to him he just does what he needs to do he doesn't overdraw
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 Naps You Can Take (feat. Brian Scalabrine)
You can have that one. Do you want more recent than nine years?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 Naps You Can Take (feat. Brian Scalabrine)
and he doesn't have to, he doesn't do all this fancy stuff like maybe he did when he was younger. He just does the one or two moves, a sidestep, maybe a little push off, and then that's it. That's all he needs to do to be at this level and win. And so maybe that just doesn't draw that many eyes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Okay, 15 seconds or more.

The Big Suey: Top 5 Naps You Can Take (feat. Brian Scalabrine)
But you wake up. You put your head down. You wake up with a little drool on the desk. You wake up with lines on your face. And you've got to be like, hey, boss, how's it going? Was I sleeping?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 Naps You Can Take (feat. Brian Scalabrine)
I love a good nap where you've got a little bit of drool because you're just like, wow, that was a good one. I would never do that if I was conscious.

And the last one is watching an episode of Severance. Not because it's a bad show. I absolutely love the show. I've just had to watch episodes over and over again because it's so soothing that it just puts me to sleep.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
And so I asked somebody, I'm like, oh yeah, this whole terminal's closed. You got to go to like the next terminal and then walk over. I'm like, well, that sounds silly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
So I go to the next terminal. It's all closed. So I'm like, what do I do? I grab some airline person and they're like, oh yeah, the airport's closed. The entire airport? I'm like, what do you mean the airport is closed? So I call... American Airlines and say, yo, I can't get in. My flight hasn't left yet. Like they're not even boarding, but I can't get in. How do I get in?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
And say, oh yeah, the airport's closed. I'm like, but the planes are still here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
I've been traveling my entire life. Damn near 46 years at this point. I have never heard of the concept of, sorry, the airport's closed, like it's a bank or a McDonald's or something. You know what?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Like, hey, every effing airport in America, dare I say it, the world, hey, every terminal has a rideshare pickup right there, either on the curb or you go into, like, the parking lot, right? O'Hare's the only one. Where, hey, especially, don't let it be a blizzard. No, you gotta walk back like 200 yards.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Go that way, and I said, is there like a tunnel? Nope, go outside and brave the elements.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Because I was sitting in the eating area or outside in the living room, whatever we call this place right here, and Roy cackled. And I said, what's up? And he said, he started saying, oh, this thing with Jamel, Jamel Hill. And I said, the Phil Collins story. And Roy looked at me like I was crazy. And I was like, oh, so this isn't about the same thing that I saw, which is
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
What did you say? Go to Midway. Go to Midway? Yeah. Midway's like a Greyhound bus terminal, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Jamel, on her podcast, interviewed Rommel Ross, the director. He's nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay for Nickel Boys, right? But he also played college basketball at Georgetown, which is, that's a pretty amazing kind of background for someone in Hollywood. And he tells a story about one time where Michael Jordan showed up to play pickup hoops with the team. And they're like, oh, that's great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
I mean, here's the thing. The Celtics are coming off of a big loss to Detroit, and so typically the formula is when they lose, they come back extra hard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Last season? Yeah. He was hurt, yeah. He was hurt, and he ended up missing most of that Celtics series, as did a lot of other people on the Cavs. Jared Allen missed a lot of time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
So it's just like, it's one of those things where I think... We tend to, rightfully so, give the benefit of the doubt to the team that has the experience. If we haven't seen you, and again, I'm not even talking about the Celtics winning a championship. But it's not even about them winning a championship. It's that the Celtics have a lot of playoff experience.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Despite being young, all those guys have like 100 games of playoff experience.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Ever, yeah. Because he plays every year in the playoffs, and more often than not, they go past the second round. And obviously with seven-game series and all that stuff. But ultimately, I wonder for the Cavs, Is it enough? When is enough enough, right? When have you- When have they shown enough?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
When have you, well, no, we all know they've shown enough when they win a championship and they're like, oh yeah, of course. But the other part of it is, when is enough experience in order for us to be like, okay, the experience part isn't a thing anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
It is. You know, the finals is a weird time, man. It's because conference finals actually is the weirdest. I say this all the time about like the playoffs. When the playoffs start, there's so many teams playing. It kind of feels like a regular season night. Like for just... Everyone's kind of playing. Obviously, the level of basketball is higher. It's more intense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
But because there's so many other things happening, you don't feel like it's actually that special. Then you get to the second round, and there's two games a night, the Eastern Conference game and the Western Conference game. But you still feel like there's a lot of stories and things being talked about, eight or however many different teams. Then you get to the conference finals.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
And in the conference finals, there's one game a night. And then you feel, oh, man, everybody is watching just us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Like it doesn't fly under the radar like something that might happen in the first round or even the second round. And then obviously the finals, you've got all that time. The difference between the finals and conference finals is not only are you the only game of the night, but also when I don't play, there's nothing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
And it's like, and he brought Randy Moss with him. And he said, now, guys, Michael Jordan is telling them, guys, you got to be cool. You can't ask for autographs or pictures or anything like that. But we have a special guest coming. And the special guest was Phil Collins.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
There's just that void where game one is Thursday and game two ain't until Sunday. And so we're sitting around waiting to see what's going to happen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
This feels like the Bradley Beal, John Wall conversations of like a decade ago, right? And they're like, no, we're best buds. And then afterwards, like, I mean, this guy's cool, but I couldn't stand playing with him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Phil Collins come play ball with us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Yes. The answer is yes. It's all of those things, right? Number one, Jimmy Butler's arrival has made Steph Curry sit back up like Marty McFly in the Enchantment Under the Sea dance after his parents kissed, right? Earth angel, earth angel. He's playing that guitar hard now, right? In a way that he was fading. Dude, it looked not great for Steph Curry
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
He looked like, dare I say it, like Father Time was knocking on that door. And Jimmy Butler gets there, and all of a sudden, this dude is revitalized, right? Jimmy Butler offers the perfect counterbalance in terms of interior plate and, more importantly, attention.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
You know what? He could be 6'2". Phil Collins hooping. Like, what does Phil Collins' game look like? What do you guys think? Right? He's 5'6". 5'6", so he's got to be shifty, right? A little small guard, get in there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
It's simultaneously made both of their lives a lot easier than it was a month ago, where it's like, oh, there's somebody else you have to worry about every single night. Jeremy.

Yeah, because if you don't, he's like, no, I wasn't pooping. I just sat on some ketchup or whatever. By the way, great job by Jeremy Plain. Don't look now. Cardboard cut over here. Riley's a menace.

Like Scott Skiles. I don't know why. Playmaker.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
I love the idea that you said, oh, Jimmy says, oh, I'm allowed to be me, right? I'm allowed to do whatever I want, right? And it made me think of, in Hollywood, these directors, these movie makers being allowed to do whatever the hell they want The Oscars are on Sunday, and one of the movies that's up, or two of the movies that are up are The Brutalist and Wicked.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
And both of them are incredibly long movies. And I sat there and I thought to myself as I watched Wicked, you know what, man? We often villainize the studios. Like, oh, they wouldn't let the director and his vision or whatever, just let him make the movie the way he or she wanted it to be made.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
He kind of does. It's a hairline thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
I can't imagine trying to watch that in a theater. Oh, I would have been so knocked out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Yeah. It reminded me of the only other story I can think of that rivals that as far as like, what? I knew this guy, he's an agent, and he is from Minnesota. And when he was getting his law degree, he used to play in this pickup game. And it was one of those things where it's like, it's a Sunday pickup game, and everyone knows someone through someone else. You know the deal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
The fact that part one is as long as it is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Are you a wicked hater? Part one. I thought it was a good movie. I thought it was a great movie. It is a great movie. I was entertained. I just think it could have been better. Exactly. It's just like... Dude, like you said in the break room, make some choices.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
I'm a studio head, and my filmmaker comes up to me and says, okay, the movie's going to go like this, and then there's an intermission. I say, get out of my office. I don't care who you are.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
They milked that shit in the school where she gets her hat and all that. I'm like, I fell asleep during that point in the theater. Great nap, by the way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Make some choices. That's all we're asking. I'm going to formulate a list of top five places to take a nap in. I'm pretty sure number one is at the movies, but we'll give you all of that when we come back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
You've been to these pickup runs where it's the same 15 to 17 people show up every week. Sometimes it's this 12, sometimes it's that 12. But it's the same group of people. You know them. But you don't know them outside of this, really, right? It's all Izzy and Mike and Raj, right? And so the guy Raj, Raj was a premium shit talker, right? Great basketball player.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Penetrating, dribbling, shooting, and talked the whole time. Raj is a big personality, right? So maybe like four or five weeks go by and Raj doesn't show up. And so one of the guys is like, hey, was Raj okay? What's happening now? Yeah, what's going on with Raj? And he said, oh, Raj is on tour with his band. And I was like, Raj is in a band?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
And they're like, yeah, because you don't know these people's backgrounds and lives outside of this. And they said, and then the next year, Purple Rain came out. Oh, no. Raj, Prince, Roger, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
It was, no, it was Prince. Wait, it was Prince? It was Prince. Oh, Prince Rogers, yeah, yeah, yeah. So- Prince, like all the stuff about the Charlie Murphy true Hollywood story about Prince being a basketball player and talking trash and being amazing and all that, apparently 1,000% true. 1,000% true. And obviously it took a life of its own after it was told on the Chappelle show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
But my question is this. Why haven't we heard about the Phil Collins stories? If Phil Collins is out here playing pickup ball with Michael Jordan and Randy Moss. But hang on a second.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Because he wasn't Prince at the time. He was Raj. Like imagine Izzy, you're not catching him at the peak of like when doves cry, you're catching him as he's like touring small venues trying to make a living.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The other name, and this one will blow you guys away. You guys know who Bruce Hornsby is?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
That's just the way it is. That's one of my favorite songs. So Bruce Hornsby, another big basketball fan. So one day, Bruce Hornsby gets to go to practice in Philly when Allen Iverson is there. After the practice, he's like, hey, you want to play one-on-one? And Bruce Hornsby won. What? Bruce Hornsby beat Allen Iverson in one-on-one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Dude, I'm telling you. Some of these musicians. Six-four.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Things will never be the same. So Phil Collins, we got him as feisty. We got him as durable penetration, playmaker. Defensively, how is he?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
See, I'm thinking Jose Alvarado, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Just like a pest, just completely undercutting you at the knees. Like, not dirty, but walking right up to that line of, hey man, like, it's just a pickup game. By the way, the other story that Rommel Ross tells is from that game was that Randy Moss grabbed the rebound and then one dribble drops up dunked on Ruben Boomshay Boomshay. Which, one of the great names in basketball history.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Yep, Georgetown. Georgetown legends. The Cavs and the Celtics play tonight. And for almost everybody, this is the top two teams in the Eastern Conference.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
There you go. That's another comp. Peyton Pritchard. I could see Phil Collins.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
But not with the volume, though. Because remember, this is like 2003 probably. It's early 2000. He's not slashing to the basket. No, he is. But he's not shooting that many threes. He's pulling from deep when he does. But not too many, right? Because that's only to be used in the case of a nuclear attack.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Phil Collins telling Mike, get away. Randy, come here. Set that screen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
And then in a dead ball, he puts his arm around MJ's waist. He's like, this is what I want you to do. And MJ's like, oh, OK. He's hand-checking. Oh, man. But yeah, Cavs, Celtics, Izzy, we often talk about, well, I have to see them do it, right? Even the Celtics, who won last year, literally up until last year, everyone was like, well, until they do it in the playoffs, I can't trust them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
And the Cavs have been a team that's had... less modest success in the playoffs than Boston had had up until last year, right? They'd never been to a conference finals with this group. Their best players had never been to a conference final, and Donovan Mitchell, he's been to the second round a bunch of times. But eerily, their season and what's happening to them
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
is a lot like what happened to Golden State a decade ago. Literally 10 years ago, Golden State was, oh, a nice little team. Go to playoffs a couple times. We'll go to second round. But no one would say this is a championship team. Then a new head coach comes in. Ethan Strauss did. Ethan Strauss did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
And I'll tell you, the three people who said the Warriors that year were going to win a championship before pretty much anyone else. Ethan Strauss said it before the season started. Leandro Barbosa said it, I want to say, like, in January. He doesn't count, though, because he's on the team. But it was shocking. It was shocking. Like, in a post-game interview, hey, great winner, you guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
How are you guys feeling? He's like, I think we're going to be championship. Like, what? Everyone's like, what are you talking about? It was such a, and it was just like, yeah, it's going to happen. It was the same kind of confidence of Ethan, where it's like, if you saw what I saw, you'd know, oh, no one's beating them. And then the other person, and this one always shocks people. Shaq.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
private because this is how it went down he said who do you think is going to win and i said well who do you think is going to win big fella And obviously his rhetoric on TV is, give it to the big man, you can't win shooting too many jumpers, et cetera. And he looked at me and he said, nobody's beating them light-skinned boys. Nobody. I was like, what?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
And then he pulled out his phone and he showed me a video of his son, who at the time, Sharif, was I wanna say either a freshman or a sophomore in high school. And it was like, he's 6'9", and he said, everything I'm teaching him is perimeter. Shoot threes, but that's the way the game is going.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
And I'm looking at him like, this is Shaquille O'Neal, the patron saint of throw it down low and why isn't the big man da-da-da and Dwight Howard needs to do more and all that stuff. And even he was so in on that as it's unstoppable. But the rest of, I want to say, basketball in America was like, you can't win like that. You can't win like that. And then they ultimately win.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
And then next thing you know, it's like, of course they won. And of course they became this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Mike lit up at just hearing the name Moe Spates. Yeah, he's taking me back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Yeah. Most Bates, man, it's too long of a story, but one of the funniest pre-draft interviews we've ever had. That dude was... Because it was...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
first of all we asked billy donovan and his staff hey what can you tell us about most spades and all they kept talking about was his perimeter game and we're like what are you talking about all he did was post up at florida and then he came in and his workout was literally all like three pointers and pulling up off the dribble like what is all this and it's like oh because billy wouldn't let him shoot speaking of ethan strauss in his book wasn't there something about kd saying how the hell do they call you mo buckets if you've never averaged like 20 in the league
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
They've done it. I agree with you, actually. Every question mark you could have possibly had about them has been answered. They don't have a flaw. They don't have a flaw, and they have the experience. They did it last year. Now they know. They have that taste in their mouth. They've got all the makings of a championship team.

Is it your least favorite NBA city, period? Yeah, I was talking NBA cities. Cleveland isn't the bottom. It's up there, though. I'm trying to think what are the other cities. Sacramento?

I don't really like ice cream. No? No. It's too cold. Froyo? Hurts my teeth. How about that? I want to go to so many different places today. There's so many different directions I want to take this show, but I have to start with this story that I saw literally moments before we came on air.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

You don't like Summertime Shy? Dude, I've been to Chicago every season of the year, and every single time I go, the weather is awful.

Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
There was one time, one time during the, like, early pandemic or late pandemic seem like till 2021. I went because I had to do a training camp radio interview in the Chicago Bulls. And my flight wasn't until like 9 p.m. And I was done with work like at noon. And so my buddy Sean Little was like, all right, let's let's hang out in Chicago because he's from Chicago. And so
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
We went out, and the weather was great. And I was like, man, maybe I've misjudged. We went to this bar where they pour shots in an ice little thing, and then you throw it, and it hits the bell and all that. And I'm like, you know what? Maybe I've misjudged this place. Maybe I've misjudged this place. And my flight was delayed, so I was like, okay, we stay a little longer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
So then at 10 o'clock, I'm like, all right, I got to go. And I get to the airport at... like 10.45, right? My flight's at one in the morning, because it's been super delayed. And it's empty. I'm like, oh, this is great. I'm going to fly right through security. And I go, and the chain link fence is down. I said, huh, well, maybe the next one. And I keep going. I'm like... They're all closed.

I don't disagree with you at all. It's hysterical to me that the Dolphins are the only team that don't have anything lower than an A. They're the only team that doesn't even have a B plus on the thing. And then you look at some of these others and you just go like the Saints have a D minus or something in food. If you say New Orleans, the first thing you think of is food.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Grades
How does New Orleans have a D- in food? Some of these grades are absolutely bananas to me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Grades
Yeah, I just I mean, some of these grades, you look at them and you're like, how how are you a professional franchise with an F as a weight room? Where else are you putting money in your facilities if not the weight room? By the way, that's the New England Patriots have an F for weight room.

Yeah, so apparently all 32 teams, either 31 of 32, offer either daycare during games or a family room. And the Bengals are the only organization to offer neither. And they also said the family meeting area for post-game parties and, you know, after the game, all the families meet is like a 4 out of 10. Nice. It was ranked.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
My job was to keep Dan comfortable because a comfortable Dan gave us the best possible content. The job is Dan. The job is Dan. I am talent producing first and foremost. And the best way to produce my talent is to make sure that the grounds are most fertile around him for creativity and simple execution.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Because I know that one simple mistake, especially on the TV side, can really undo a good show. So making sure that we're clean. Or a good career. Yeah, yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Well, complaints did come because, keep in mind, we replaced Colin Cowherd and when you move to middays, in our afternoon experience with ESPN, we'd hear from affiliates, we'd get feedback, but now when you're in
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
a spot of the radio day part where you get way more clearance you get a lot more opinions from program directors of course and dan wasn't really on these affiliate calls we'd only bring them into the more important ones but quarterly i'd get briefed on how our radio show is doing terrestrially uh there were a lot of good stories there like wow our show randomly is huge in the carolinas and there were unfortunate stories like look while we were middays here
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
and struggled enough with how do we establish a zig? We're not running counterculture to a full day's worth of coverage. We were the morning show out in L.A., and L.A. was a huge affiliate for ESPN. And you would have thought because Miami is similar to L.A. in a lot of ways, our show would have taken off there. It didn't. They hated us. The station hated us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
The fans hated us because they wanted to hear their Lakers talk. They wanted to hear their USC Trojan talk. Collin was always very good about forcing the issue when it came to the Los Angeles market. We were just kind of doing our own thing and it really blew up in our face when it came to L.A.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
We are. Digitally, yes. And there were really good stories when it came to the radio ratings in New York. But you're always going to be compared to Mike Francesa there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
No, and that's why we were off, because we didn't do the stuff that Colin was so good at being able to kind of ham it up. I also didn't care, though. No, you didn't care, but Mike and I had discussions. Which we could have done with you giving more of a shit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Dan's an artist. The only market he's ever cared about catering to is Miami. And at that point, it had been pretty successful going about his work that way. It had proved to be a winner, so... I don't blame him. He would have made my life a little bit easier. And sometimes it's pride swallowing knowing that, ah man, I thought for sure we'd work in LA, but we didn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Another aspect of Dan's workflow that we probably took for granted was right before we went to mid days, Dan was as locked in on sports as he's ever been in his life. Super sharp because why? He's taping Highly Questionable before the show. So he's coming out, he's already testing takes and he's fully informed. He's getting research packets. Back then I also used to write for Highly Questionable.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
So he came in super sharp. Now his work day is totally flipped and he's doing the radio show and he's not getting that prep. He's not getting the research. He hasn't been able to see how other people dissect stories. So I'm curious, did you also miscalculate having to do this before Highly Questionable as opposed to after?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
We found a way to rage against the machine while inside the machine and for no one on the outside to pick apart that hypocrisy. Right. Because everybody knew the dynamic. We didn't fit. The salespeople certainly knew it. Dan still is not doing reads. Dan will occasionally be the talent that'll say the worst possible thing ever. That's also a learning moment for me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
meeting was fun yeah that was that was one of the the few times that dan was i love a good radio sales meeting i had to go to that this is because i said such bad things about Again, I was trying to protect you and you didn't even see it. Predators. Hey! Dan, I'm like... What are you doing? Dan, what are you doing, dude?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I'm trying to protect you from even naming it and you're over there calling him Predators. I'm trying to get him on the air. I mean... Bleep all of it. Just bleep it all.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
This is a perfect example of the type of talent that he is. You're right, Mike. I'm literally trying to push him away from it. This is it. And he says the worst fucking thing possible. It's a goddamn headache every time. There were plenty of things that I miss about this era, though, too, which is, number one, we moved to a different day part.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Our commercials got longer, and while that was frustrating, man, do I miss being able to create content within the breaks. Yes. I really miss something organically happening in the back during the break that we're just laughing through, Dan picking up on it and starting a segment with that stuff. Something that's kind of been missing from the show ever since.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I don't think there's anything I miss more than that from the eight-minute commercial break.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
but also in a loud way and dan was writing him down and i knew he would come back from commercial break with what it was you and i were just constantly workshopping that's also how like we would play really well received rejoined music we had our rejoins and then song and i would be very thoughtful with how i do it often sending subliminal on messages with the set list for the day.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
But I would play a song and then play with playing a sound in the BPMs in between. Show within the show. Making remixes and I would use that time to see like if this would work and we'd go live and we'd do that because it worked with our bullpen essentially. I really miss that stuff. It really brought a lot of creativity.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Yeah, you guys are bad actors.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
One of my proudest things is that you guys would just stroll into the studio. We turn the mics on and we'd go. Anytime we brought in a different guest host, their head would be spinning at the pace that we'd operate. But we prepared a lot. because our show could go anywhere. And I would often tell people, how do you prepare for a show that can go anywhere?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
You gotta be prepared for anything and everything. And that's loads of pre-production, that's loads of production in show. And production can mean many things. It can mean a bit of imaging, or it can mean, hey, let's talk about this process right here. Why did that go wrong? How do we make it better?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
The communication is constant, ever evolving, 24 seven, everything is feedback, everything is production.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
A huge, massive booklet that the baton was passed throughout the years. I took a lot of pride in the show sheet. Roy did the show sheet. You would get mad at us at times because we wouldn't look at it, right? We wouldn't read it. We killed so many trees. I'm telling you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
It was much thicker than Sagat's personal record book. Yes. And you guys insisted. I remember there was one time that I'm like, all right, we're going to go largely digital with this to save some paper. And you guys hated it. And my resentment was such. I'm like, you guys don't read the hard copies, but you insist on this. But again, talent comes first. Talent's comfort comes first.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
that's what we were communicating his computer to mine you had your creature comforts and you were married to that and that's fine and it good producers fall in line do you agree with dan if we didn't get to most of the stuff on the show sheet or in his head we had a good show that's a good show that's always a great show like oh damn we didn't get around to that oh damn we didn't do this produce bit oh damn we didn't cover that we had good stuff there it's always the hallmark of a good show so we're humming
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
We're doing good. We're clicking on all cylinders. We're navigating Dan's amazing proclivity to step into it, especially with sponsors. But it's all fine. In large part due to, and this part can't be ignored, John Skipper is president at ESPN. And I want the listener to keep all of this in mind. And I want Dan and Sue to keep this in mind because things start happening.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
The world starts changing around this era. It creeps in with the Colin Kaepernick stuff. The lines between politics and sports become really blurred. Probably the greatest example of that over the course of our time at ESPN. There were constant landmines around that. And then Trump's candidacy. Keep in mind, we had Donald Trump on the show several times.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Oftentimes, Dan was begging for him to run for president.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
But we have no idea how the GOP is going to evolve, how Trump becomes this massive cult of personality. But the seeds are there. Initially, Dan's rooting for all the chaos. But I'm curious, Colin Kaepernick. Regret that or not?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
In 2015, there was like an exchange like, oh, please, you have to run. Donald, please run. I love you guys. I listen to your show all the time. You guys are the best. You're the best. That's a real thing. That's all I wanted to hear. Less than 10 years ago. Less than 10 years ago, Dan and Donald Trump were showering each other with praise. But I'm curious, Colin Kaepernick for me. goes LeBron.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
That's an amazing sentence. It is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
You have to. Don! Don, you have to. We probably should have kept going with that. We'd be in the cabinet for sure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
You guys would definitely have a cabinet position right now. I'd be the vice president. Honestly, I think we could get you approved right now. Lisa, there are problems. Oh, damn it. I got to stick to sports real quick. Colin Kaepernick, for me, is a top five story in the history of this show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
LeBron, all the Patriots stuff with Tom Brady being the football player of his generation with the coach of his generation. And also on top of that, you dashed scandal on top of it. That was a great story. But Colin Kaepernick... This was a story that probably challenged you guys in ways that you'd never been challenged before in front of microphones.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
And I'm very curious your approach to this, how our show probably talked about it more than any other show because it was dangerous. It was almost self-governed over at ESPN. It wasn't so much people telling us not to do this. There was a lot of talent that just tried to punt on it altogether.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Which for you, your process pivots a little bit because the start of the show was you were a traditional sports guy. You had different takes on Colin Kaepernick. You and Dan were pretty much aligned from the get-go. So it wasn't a push and pull type of thing. You might have spoken for Joe Sportsfan occasionally, but you were really there to get us out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
And we've learned this new character comedically, how we inject you into these segments. And I often use it as a device. Dan, more often than not, probably saw it coming, whether it's breaking NFL news. We use you often to get us out of places where we kept getting too entrenched that were a little dicey for us professionally.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
He was preparing for it though, because Dan was actually for the first time talking about one of these crazy scenarios that are actually playing out. Dan did several shows on what if Peyton Manning were a Klansman? Yes. For fun. Like we just made that hypothetical just because he liked the challenge. He would have started. It was so good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Remember the ESPN, the magazine, what if Michael Vick were white and how poorly that went, too. That was probably the second craziest Colts hypothetical that we had behind. How much do you think a shopping cart with a mannequin arm attached to it, how many yards do you think it would get in a season?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Maybe not if Peyton got it right in the basket. Look, we'll do this show again. I think it would have Mo Alleycox-like production. Really? Instead of screaming Mo Alleycox would be shopping cart with a mannequin arm.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
It would be plus 800 every day versus score a touchdown. We take it every Sunday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Do you guys remember how we started talking about Kaepernick and this whole story around him? Because many people might forget the Miami ties to how this whole thing blew up. Kaepernick started doing this. He initially wasn't even kneeling. He was just sitting down. Then he famously consulted the teammate who had served, said, go ahead and take a knee that's a little bit more respectful.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
No one really picked up on it. There were whispers of this. Then he came down to Miami and on the heels of the pig socks, the police officers depicted as pigs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Yes. And now you have this messenger trying to have a take that you support. A player's right to speak their mind and speak out against injustice. But also, Dan, you mentioned Cuban exile. Now, it appears, I know Armando Salguero had a huge, very passionate piece at that time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
You have the message coming from a player that is wearing a Fidel Castro shirt, almost co-signing on the entire Castro experience. How did you handle that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
community stops listening the second he puts on the Castro shirt. Correct.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I think initially we also criticized him because it was a misstep. Of course. He was free to do it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
It took you a while, but you kind of got beers during it. You found your angle there. Me, I'm constantly getting feedback from ESPN, from Liam or Babysitter. What are the talking points? How do I know I've gone too far? What do I say that it's not necessarily an opposition, but have you considered?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I didn't like my allies at that time, but I'm like, you know, Dan, the flag means a lot to a lot of different people. And, you know, like I was just trying to be devil's advocate.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
crib to distract it or something because mike is producing the show but he's not telling me how he's producing the show he's just doing the kinds of things that run me into different directions sometimes it would be with a different opinion have you considered oftentimes though it would be with imaging or feeding sugats aqua yeah like just giving him something that would slightly distract you having rick springfield bomb in out of nowhere and deliver his favorite colors or you know doing something that was pre-produced we had all sorts we had layers
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Magic creative content was kind of born out of this stuff. It was all creative ways.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
What gave it away, Dan? Well, it eventually became canon that it was his sole reason for existing was just to get Dan off of political conversation. I missed that crate. Oh, dude.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Cut to John Skipper in his own voice saying, yeah, that's exactly right. I think throughout all of this, part of the reason why you're not feeling it, and we got to a point later on at ESPN where that level of protection, it would just go over my head and they would go direct to you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
And the reason why they weren't really going direct to you wasn't because I was particularly effective in keeping them away. I was the only person that they could talk to because John Skipper had handpicked you. And with that came a lot of protection, protection that we would later find out we would sorely miss.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
In your defense, I don't think you were aware of it either, because if you were, you would have used it more.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I don't think Dan would have abused it, but I think he would have pushed it a little bit more if he knew the levels of security that John's co-sign on our show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
i guess citing your encouragement donald trump runs for president and then the lines between sports and politics get more blurred donald trump weighs in on colin kaepernick uses a cuss word to describe colin kaepernick and the volume gets turned up on all of this and you see extremism find its way into sports because they're using sports as a pathway to further that agenda so
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Fun times ahead for the radio show. And we lose Skipper in the process and we lose all the protection. And then Dan realizes what he had when it's gone. So all that's coming up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
But in the next episode, we're going to hit pause on the narrative storytelling of our show and do something that we haven't been able to do yet, which is really focus on all the voices that helped us get the show to where it is. We haven't really had Greg Cody's voice bless us. on this show yet. And I want to be able to pick apart each and every individual voice, what our motivation was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
So the next episode is going to be a pause on the narrative. And we really hit a spotlight on all the co-hosts and additional voices that we brought in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Super invigorated by it. We were really pushing ourselves creatively and we had this whole new sandbox with the video element, which we were growing in confidence with that allowed us to do not necessarily video first executions, but video supplement. We were always keenly aware that we didn't want to alienate the audio audience, which was at this point really growing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
We made the move in mid days for a lot of reasons. Number one for me with a bullet was life balance. But number two was I think the show can get much bigger, not just because it's getting more clearance, but because our podcasts were digital first property. That's how most of our audience consumes us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
If we get to market earlier, I know, I just know, we're going to see that bear out over the podcast numbers, and it did. We were a podcast sensation. We were the biggest thing in sports podcasting, all while ESPN really knew very little about podcasting and how to monetize it, but we were crushing it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Allow the man to speak. You're fitting out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I mean, let the man speak.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
That's a good point. Waking Take is a judgment-free place. Oh, you're right, Dan. You're good. Yeah. Because remember, we established Waking Take's all about vibes. Yeah, it's all about vibes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

They don't think I'm going to take their phone calls? Hold your bluff. You've been saying it for four months.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
We had a full board of calls for people just waiting to silently wait for an entire segment to pass just so they could clap at the end of it. Right. So the people want to call, they just don't trust you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Hey folks, it's Mike Ryan and I need to talk to you about something that I use religiously. Anytime I'm hosting a big dinner party, I want to impress people and I get food from some of the most iconic, famous places in the country. You know what helps me do that? Goldbelly. This amazing site where I order from all the time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
It was the single biggest bet that we made as a show. No doubt. The decision to prioritize digital audio when you made your money not driving people away from the commercials. You made your money having people sit in their cars through those commercials.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Single biggest bet that we ever made was what we were best positioned for because we always had a keen understanding of where the industry was going. And to have this move coincide with this huge podcast boom that we were at the forefront of, it immediately paid dividends on a huge bet because it didn't come without risk. At the forefront, accidentally, I would say you were protecting things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I think that short sells like how strategic we were. When I say accidentally. We didn't stumble into this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Yeah, and there are some political ties with the Buccaneers like there are with the Jets that might allow you to read through some tea leaves. The Seattle one really angered me, too, because Pete Carroll sort of got preachy and took the opportunity to make it look like he was being nice to Colin Kaepernick. No, he's too good. to be a backup here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
He's a starter in this league, and then he signs a guy who hasn't thrown an NFL pass in three years. And if you can speculate by reading into what Colin Kaepernick retweets, because he's not actually talking about football, then you can see Colin Kaepernick was kind of bothered by it too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Yeah, they accidentally stepped into a lot of digital audio success because of our hard work, our decisions, our occasional fighting to keep this RSS feed alive. The RSS feed that you're listening to right now is the one that we created back in 790 in the bowels of Miami Gardens. It came with us through ESPN. I saved it seven times. You never actually did. And it followed us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Colonel Jessup, did you order the code wet?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
And we were very strategic with this and we were constantly trying to get, you know, podcast exclusive content.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I had one in my neighborhood when I was growing up. I lived in Westchester.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I lived in a middle class neighborhood and I had that guy show up at 10 a.m., which wasn't great when I was in college.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Well, I was strategic with it, but me and my production team, the shipping container, you know, editing the podcast was a massive chore because I didn't want to have this huge runway of getting my podcast to market as soon as the show ends and then work on post-production for two hours. So you would occasionally lose a producer because we would post hours as they would finish.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I didn't mean to... I lived through it. I lived in a middle class neighborhood. There had to have been a reason why he kept coming back. Right? You wouldn't think that he'd make it a part of his route if he got no business there. That's true. Yep. Good point. I didn't have one in my neighborhood growing up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I mean, I've only heard someone screaming into a bad sound system. And it was the most... Oh, God, when you did that, a chill went down my spine. It's so exciting, though. I feel alive. No, you're always woken up because that horrible sound system and the guy just screams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Did you have the fruit truck guy? Yes. Yeah, because that's a Hispanic thing, too. Instead of an ice cream truck, you have the...

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
where you can get all these amazing foods from all across our great country. They will ship free to your door anywhere in the U.S. of A. Gold Belly will ship you Philly cheesesteaks from Jim's or Pat's in Philly. I'm treating my office right now to a cheesesteak party from Pat's, courtesy of Gold Belly. And on top of that, I threw in some original buffalo wings from Anchor Bar in Buffalo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
And that was a huge advantage for us. And we never really got that much pushback from ESPN as to how we were releasing it. There was one guy, ESPN, whose his whole job was digital, Pete Giancini, and he was just marveling. And he gave me a lot of great advice on cadence and how to release things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I know it was a bit controversial, especially with some of our contemporaries, our strategy to break it up, thinking that we were gaming a system. I would say, no, we're not gaming a system. We're actually getting the rewards for the work that we're doing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
doing other podcasts do maybe three hours of content a week you know we do four hours a day our episode lengths are just as long as your episode links it was really how espn wanted to do it i actually followed there because i was kind of old school rogan model let's just pump out three hours at one time it really helped shape and inform how i would go forward i wish we did a little bit more with digital video because those were the very early days but i wasn't getting leadership there from espn
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I was kind of leading the way when it came to digital audio. It was really cool to see that be a successful bet. And it was a little frustrating, too, in that we found even the worldwide leader couldn't sell it, couldn't monetize the podcast. Matter of fact, they never figured it out. They just outsourced it. They don't actually sell their own podcast inventory.

I wish I was smarter back then. I wish I was smarter and more capable. Well, Like, it was hard to see, though. I mean, I saw the podcast thing coming. I should have seen the digital video thing coming. It's not like I didn't see it coming, but it just felt like it was too difficult to do all those things simultaneously at once. It is.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
You don't say. And it is. It is. My main regret. My main regret there, if you will, on the digital video front is we didn't have to do that part particularly well. That actually didn't have to meet our standard. We just had to be doing it more actively. I wish I had a grandfathered RSS feed for video like I did with audio. That wasn't the case. So that's the one misstep I made.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I'm glad you mentioned that, too, because another thing that I kept away from you was the actual directing on site in Miami. Charlie had left to D.C., was going to start climbing in his career. We had Lorenzo's very green. We had a very small team in D.C. I was also kind of producing the video product as well, giving camera cues, making sure that it was relayed sometimes through.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
So you're producing us and you're talking to them at the same time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
That was our Washington product, but we had stage directors in Miami. We also had camera operators here in Miami. I mean, sometimes, look, I'm not going to relay a message to DC when this is a show that is so heavily reliant on comedic timing. So sometimes I just go direct to our camera operator and DC kind of falls in line.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
But all that's to say, like, you needed to feel like that wasn't actually an operation that was going on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I learned how to produce TV. Right. And I learned right then and there that production is production to a large degree. Like a lot of the skill sets that I was leaning on when it came to the sonic experience of the show translated, whether it be communication, leadership, foresight, all that stuff, intuition.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I knew where to put the cameras better than the camera operators just because I knew the show better. And by knowing the show better than anybody else, it also made me the most qualified person to produce and not to take anything away from people in D.C. But they were kind of following my lead there.

This is a fascinating story. If you've been following, yeah, they don't actually watch any of this stuff. They've never watched any of this stuff. I was going to ask you to name names, but you did. Thank you. You know what's fascinating about that story? And believe it or not, it's not that the fact that the ESPN suit doesn't listen or watch what's on ESPN. That job is pretty all-consuming.

And your relationship with TV just over the last few episodes, hating your fusion experience, going to ESPN, moving to middays, being on the main set to the point that we have to take a sabbatical from TV, a two week departure, no cameras at all, move back into our womb. It was that instantaneous and it was that seamless. The move to DC had you growing in confidence.

Who is the team most likely to sign Kirk Cousins? If Kirk Cousins gets to choose, it'll be the Colts. He had an opportunity to go to the Jets once. They offered him more money than Minnesota. Fully guaranteed. And he was like, hey, Minnesota, can you come close?

They were Michael Penix away. There's a little difference. There's a little difference.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I could see how that would be the game. I could honestly see how that would be the game. Yeah. That was your Super Bowl pick right there. Yeah. Bears and Jets. I put that game on and my wife comes in and she comes to sit with me. She's like, oh, is this a big game? I'm like, no. She's like, well... why isn't it a big game?

Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
Oh, thank God. Thank you for the wine. I've been dying to talk about this since it started getting rumored and so long that they've actually broken back up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
Yeah, Oasis has one of the biggest songs ever in Wonderwall. They're really, and this is the reuniting of it, they're not bringing back any original members outside of the two brothers, which is fine because Oasis is the two brothers.

Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
They hated each other. They hated it. They've always hated each other.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
Yeah, like Guns N' Roses really left a lot of money on the table because during their recording prime, they decided to totally break up. And now they're totally fine and they're getting all that money that they miss out on during their peak.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
No, but Oasis broke up in 2009, and for many points since then, there were rumored reunions that always blew up, and Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher would always revel in the opportunity to dismiss any hopes whatsoever. Liam very... publicly continuing their feud, never really having good things to say about one another.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
But the day has come where they've been able to put all that aside for now and reunite to much, much fanfare, especially across the pond.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
They genuinely don't like each other's company. And musically, they're not super compatible. They have different ideas of what direction the band should have gone in. At different times, they accuse the other person of being unprofessional when it comes to approach. So it's just always something. There isn't a patient zero when it comes to what the seeds of this rivalry has always been.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
It's like me with my dad. He could actually be on his best behavior, and I'm just annoyed by him. Same. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
So, no, they didn't just make a hit. They have plenty of hits.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
No, they're not. They're not a one-hit wonderwall. No. They have one of the 100 greatest albums ever made. Definitely maybe was a monster smash. They have a lot of songs. Now, granted, they are bigger in the UK. So in our lifetime, Greg is taking group pictures right now. He really is the belle of the ball over there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
I think Oasis meant, out of anyone here, Sugatz's prime college years and young adulthood, Oasis.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
It's very difficult to talk about Oasis reuniting, which is a segment that I've wanted to do for 20 years, hopeful that the day would come, and then have Greg Cody just do incredible psych gags the entire time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
I checked out after the death joke. I thought he was really rolling. So the reason why they're getting back, I would assume, is money. I would assume that there's a lot of money in this. Of course it's money. Where I was getting at, you're probably the best person to ask how big Oasis was over here in the United States. I know they're massive across the pond. You guys were all young.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
Yeah, when you were getting out of college and entering young adulthood and cruising the Grove, Oasis was the biggest thing going.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
Oasis is funny to me because I do think that they're a good band. Do I think that they're a little overrated? Possibly. But Oasis wasn't really... Are they the best musicians? No. Are they the best vocalists? No. Do they have some great songs? Yes. Is every song great? No. But Oasis meant a lot to a lot of people in that it wasn't just... the music. It was the aesthetic. It was the attitude.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
It was what they represented. We don't really have a lot of ties over here in the United States to Britpop, although a few of those bands blew up over here. And for a moment in time, Oasis was. And The Conversation is one of the biggest rock bands in America. But
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
Not unlike West Coast hip-hop and then the East Coast-West Coast thing, not unlike boy bands, not unlike grunge or hair metal slightly before that, Britpop had an era inside these United States. Blur, and to a much larger extent here in the United States, Oasis was the key band in that moment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
Yeah, it almost got to be like you have to pick a side, and Netflix actually has a pretty a pretty good documentary on like a general series.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
On that rivalry, on Britpop, the Britpop explosion.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
Do you remember when Jay-Z played Wonderwall?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
Yeah, and maybe their sound, Britpop kind of died out here, and it wasn't just because Oasis kind of flamed out. They kept going, and they didn't really reach the peaks. Here in the United States, we had a lot of regrettable genres that kind of pushed it out of the way. Like Fred Durst? Like Nu Metal. We had our moments over here, but they were still gigantic moments.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
uh in especially in great britain and you'll see in this tour they've just announced the european legs so far of the tour but these are stadium shows and they'll be able to sell them out without without question it's going to be a huge demand i do know the legend is that the coachella founders they make three asks every year when they're putting together their lineup on the off chance that bands reunite and they ask for this number one is the smiths
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
Number two is Oasis, and now more recently Daft Punk. They always put a feeler out to Daft Punk to see if Daft Punk is going to reunite. But yeah, you would assume that if Oasis is back and doing their thing, Coachella's going to kick the tires, see if they want to do it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
I think they were both great. There's an argument to be made that these guys are kind of better apart. Liam's actually had some really good albums recently. I'm a fan of Noel's stuff. Their individual efforts have been so good individually that you're like, okay, well, if we're never going to see Oasis again... We're fine. This will suffice, but I've never had the opportunity.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
By the time I got really into going to live music shows, Oasis was, you know, that wasn't a scenario that could actually be real, them getting back together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: This Is Not What I Do
They kind of explain it throughout the entire song. Do they? Yeah.

This was a massive scandal, and it's got a lot of players upset. And a lot of players are upset because of a double standard. Now, there is precedent for players being suspended for a long time when they have this amount in their system. Now, to be clear, this was explained to me via Andy Roddick's podcast. The amount that was found in his system was less than a grain of salt.

And the defense, Stugatz, correct me if I'm wrong, is while receiving treatment on a table, Sinner had an open wound, and one of the creams used as a topical cream got into his bloodstream, and it had a banned substance in it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
Right. But all this being said, on the surface and how we're presenting it, oh, okay, that's good for Sinner. This seems unfair if he were to be banned. And the ruling was he's allowed to continue to play. However— It seems unfair if you're buying his story. It seems unfair if you're buying a story.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
There's a lot of circumstantial evidence that would suggest a lot of injuries that kind of correspond with some of the symptoms that go along with this band's substance, and a lot of former players that have been dinged for similar amounts wondering why the double standard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
Well, that's what he tested positive for, a microscopic amount. And there are people out there on the internet theorizing, well, there are masking agents that could be at play, that this is the amount that they found, but it may not be the amount in their system.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
Also, leading to more circumstantial evidence is Yannick Sinner's rise to prominence to be the world number one, the present number one seed in this. He's had a really good year. Yeah. It's not like he came out of nowhere. This was a prospect that people had high hopes. He was building, yeah. But he really turned it on, probably ahead of where most people projected him at this point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
So you have this guy really ascend. You have injuries and circumstantial evidence mounting. And you have the fact that you have precedent with other tennis players being punished for similar amounts. And you wonder, why is Sinner allowed to do this? But you do have to credit, as you did, an independent court.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
two of which didn't have any idea who he was, decided that he wasn't guilty of purposefully doing this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
Yeah, it's like Greg Cody. Like, I don't pay attention. They were tennis fans. But this is a big-time scandal, and there was a lot of tennis players weighing in, and you have the U.S. Open going on right now, and he is the number one seed. So it is a massive scandal in the world of tennis.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
I do think that you trust your trainers to adhere to guidelines. You're also asking them to not only know what's on the topical cream, every ingredient that goes into that, and if it's against the rules, but also to know. I don't know what the wound looked like on his leg. It's possible that he didn't know that he even had a wound on his leg.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
Well, by the excuse, it wasn't even going on his body. The trainer himself was treating himself. And then this got into his system because there was some residue. Again, it was smaller than a grain of salt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
A lot of this kind of falls into that. tainted meat plausibility. There are- Tainted meat, two of my favorite words. There are trace amounts in this, and it's a believable thing. So people are wondering, is this going to be the new tainted meat excuse?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
I'd never heard this excuse before, and maybe the first time that I heard tainted meat, I kind of had a similar reaction. Like, I didn't know that was possible. Okay, I guess. And then everyone had tainted meat stories, so I don't know if everyone's going to have open wound stories going forward.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
That's why I wanted to make that clear to the audience because Yannick Sinner doesn't seem like an Italian.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
irritated and annoyed and a lot of players are annoyed that they just found out about this even though it happened in march that that is probably the biggest reason as to why because now all of this seems far too convenient for yannick center and the double standard isn't just in the punishment but it was how the secrecy was upheld like you can you can start seeing where the mind gravitates towards conspiracy theories new number one
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
We just made a brand new superstar. We're losing all these stars in the men's game. And almost immediately, you have guys like Sinner and Alcaraz. They ascend to just pick up the slack almost immediately. That's how you do it. And it's awfully convenient in the eyes of many.

He was all stiff. I guess he kind of diffused it, but there are ways to answer that question to further ensure that you won't be asked similar questions. That door is still open. Yeah, but that's not our fault. That's his.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
By the way, I saw an interview with Steve Spurrier hit YouTube and he said that this is the most important Gators game since 1988.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
Yeah, I mean, Cam Ward's a proven commodity. I don't need to tell you how good Cam Ward is. You can watch him at Washington State. And it's been a good offseason in talent acquisition. A lot of people have been the popular pick to win the ACC. Greg McIlroy, I think, does a great job with his podcast. Very insightful. He picked the Canes to win the ACC.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
Yeah, there's a lot of hype, but what I would say is there's a heavy public road favorite. And two years ago, granted they had an NFL quarterback under center, Billy Napier beat a Utah program that was humming because of that atmosphere. It's one of the best atmospheres in college sports.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
The longer that Florida is in that game, say Damian Martinez runs 60 yards, first snap, then we're good. But you give that crowd a reason to believe, and no Miami players have really experienced that atmosphere as a collective, as a unit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
This is quite the jump up for a team that has been disappointing over the last few years, and by the way, a team and a program that has never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity. They have – anytime – there's been like six seasons over the last 20 years where they've entered a season with lofty expectations and been a Vogue top 10 pick. And they always disappoint.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
2017, they were a miraculous team, kind of a bit of a fraud, but no one had high expectations for that. So they always find a way to disappoint. If – If I weren't so close to it, the money that you do just on principle, the bet that you place is the home dog Florida in this spot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
That's fair. I think they have a lot of question marks on the right side of their line. I think Mertz is probably underrated. He's been a good quarterback for them, and he plays within the offense, probably a little conservative, but that'll play. If they make mistakes, then the momentum can get running. But I...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We're All Pawns
I think that everything about this Miami hurricane season really hinges on that game at Florida because the schedule certainly opens up for Miami if they win this one.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
But a good amount of people knew him. Were you guys ideologically aligned back then?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
So let's cut back to the day that that announcement comes down. We finished our show. My memories of it are we were kind of in the fog. I just remember Dan crying, to be honest. Dan did cry during the break because he was worried about the person. You and I probably shared a moment like, oh, shit. What does this mean for us? Are we F'd? Who do you think gets it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Like we were just already workshopping who would be next in line.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I thought it was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I know. Optics-wise.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
We're about to have a moment where the bloggers have a field day on Dan and his humanity.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
You have the public reckoning of the Me Too movement and cancel culture. I mean, it sounds silly now, but cancel culture feeling more like a real thing there. Simultaneously, you have Donald Trump in office who is running counterculture to what is happening in the public space. But there is a very public reckoning going on over there. So there's a lot of things happening in this moment in time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
And Dan gets chewed up a little bit by the conservative news media cycle, which is doing pretty well running on the ESPN is woke wagon. And our show is certainly figured into that equation. Dan, walk us through the rest of your day. I don't know if you try to reach out to John Skipper. I know a couple of days later, you were photographed in the Carolinas with John Skipper.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
And there are bloggers that run wild with speculation as to what you're doing there. After you find out this news, when do you get in touch with John? When do you set up, hey, I'm going to come over there. You look like you could use a friend in this moment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Correct me if I'm wrong, the reasons why John stepped down were... weren't public knowledge, weren't even internal knowledge at that point. You might have known that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
No, I did not know. There's all this speculation running rampant and you're photographed at a bar. So people did take that out. Which is an odd place to be. People took that opportunity to say, look, here's Dan Levitard enabling John Skipper what's going on here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
And you're kind of speaking for the audience here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
And we're also speaking for the Breitbarts of the world that ran with this. What are Dan's ulterior motives? This is a guy that just stepped down from the sporting world's most powerful position. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Yeah. At his lowest. and at that point being so fresh, no one knows if John Skipper is approaching retirement age. There isn't really a power play here for Dan. And if there were, we've already established plenty that Dan had power and all he did with it was say, leave me alone. So this is not a guy that's grabbing for power. This is a genuine human moment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
When do you learn that this photo of you started circulating on the internet? Was it there? Was it while you were in the Carolinas?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
You found out the whole story, I guess.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I don't doubt it. We navigate the holidays and then it's announced that Jimmy Pataro is replacing John Skipper. I didn't really know Jimmy at all. I asked Dan if he knew Jimmy. There wasn't an existing relationship. But Dan, at this point, you are one of ESPN's marquee personalities.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
You have their top digital audio property, their top... Well, Mike and Mike are still going at this time, I believe. So not the Cadillac, but pretty damn close. And highly questionable is a linchpin of their afternoon programming. How soon was it before you heard from Jimmy Pitar?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Yeah. Well, in 2018, I'm going through a lot and it's not just work. In fact, work was actually worse a couple of years before, probably a year and a half before we covered that, the fusion stuff, the other studio. And I told you in a previous episode, I was writing checks that I was about to cash. I'm cashing them around this time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
So it's not for me personally, not a great time for me whatsoever. I'll tell the audience, like I am having a really difficult time at this point with my own mental health and learning what that means. I was suffering real burnout. I was adrenally fatigued and I was running out of answers. I had loads of questions and I didn't understand what was going on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
And I was in a desperate search to identify what was going on. But for the audience, I had in my mind a callous against therapy and medication for these things because of my history with my mother, who ultimately passed away because of her addiction to prescription meds and abusing the system.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
And she would go to anyone and anyone, anyone and everyone who would write her a prescription for these things. And a lot of those houses along Bird Road, those standalone homes that are also clinics, my mom hit every single one of those up. And so I had formed quite a bit of resentment towards mental health ailments and my mother as well at that point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
And I had always done so well at that point in my life and pushing things down that human body and the brain is kind of like a dam. Once one thing squirts out. And for me, it was work. That was a thing that got me the entire integrity, the architectural integrity of what's going on just breaks and collapses. And that was all happening to me in that moment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
So Dan and I have talked this out. Dan, in an effort to get me better, because I was really struggling upholding our standard and also being a people person and managing people, I was growing into that role.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I had a really high standard. And Dan, this is going to sound messed up, because in part it was. Dan canvassed it all. He probably asked you a couple of questions. Ways to get Mike better, like as a more effective leader, as a better manager of people. But what had ended up happening... was Dan compiled like a 17 page dossier of the worst fucking things you can imagine about me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
And there was no positives. It was all critiques. A lot of them were just flat out lies. A lot of them I can tell who they were coming from. A lot of people I could identify their resentments there. I was on a hammock in the Keys and I was cracking and I saw this email come in and it rocked my world. Rocked my world. There was no coming back from it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
That was vacation that I later went to Oregon to watch Jack White. And I was at a Jack White concert and I was front row and he was killing it. And he's my favorite artist. And I left the concert early because I was like, I don't deserve this. And I don't know what any of these feelings mean. So I finally crack and I'm like, let me talk to somebody so I can figure out what's going on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
After I talked to a therapist, I started identifying everything that's going on in my life. And once you give it a name, it has to get worse before it gets better. And that's what happened to me. I am becoming more aware of what those things, realizing that I had actually been dealing with anxiety and depression all my life, just not knowing it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Realizing that the tingling in my fingers, the palpitations, the shortness of breath, all of that is tied into my mental health. The GI issues. At this point, my stomach was a fucking mess. I had a couple of colonoscopies at that point. I just couldn't identify it. And then I realized that this was all a byproduct of stress. Keep in mind, work was the first thing that went out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I had personal life issues going, like my wife and I were dealing with stuff. And then on top of this, every time I opened that studio door in the Clevelander, I was armed with the knowledge that everybody truly resented me because I had seen their honest thoughts or thoughts that Dan had pushed. Like, no, let's really give it to him so we can get out of this. Mike needs to hear it. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Which when I told my therapist about it, she thought Dan was batshit crazy because this is a terrible exercise. Mind you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
So I remember like my first date back because it was like I got that over like a two and a half week break. And I was just standing outside the main studio door, like terrified open. Not wanting to walk in. I didn't want to walk in. It was a place I wanted to be in the least. And it was like, you know, that great movie with Roddy Piper, They Live, where he put on the sunglasses.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
They Live is. I'm here to chew bubble gum and kick some ass and I'm all out of chewing gum.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Yeah. That's your kind of movie. He puts on these glasses. John Carpenter directed it. He puts on these glasses and he sees all these ghouls that are hiding in plain sight. And for six months, I had the Roddy Piper sunglasses on. So like I knew like I was being fake with people. I was also like, again, through therapy, I learned how I would self-medicate would be through caffeine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Caffeine, as many people now know, because the mental health conversation is more public and more well-known, not a good thing for anxiety and depression. Exacerbates all that stuff. But for me as a performer and those who listened to the local hour in 2017 know this, I was doing eight Red Bulls a day. I was talking really fast. I was masking a lot of insecurities.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I was also masking the fact that I knew everyone around me hated me, which probably wasn't accurate at that time. People probably in a vacuum had plenty of nice things to say about me too, but all I saw was resentment. And I just felt like shit for a very long time. And this actually leads, this is quite the, but I knew I would have to talk about this at a certain point. I'm cracking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Dan knows that I'm cracking. I pulled suicide too. And he knows that I'm cracking. He knows some of the things that led to me cracking. My life was hell at this point. There was a lot of things going sideways. And I also pulled members of the shipping container and had individual meetings with all of them to try to explain why my behavior is erratic, what happened was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
So around 2018, this is all coming to a head. And my therapist, God bless her, she taught me how to identify these things. And she wanted me in the worst way to evacuate from a stressful situation. And I'm like, that really isn't an option for me because I'm live on the air. And she told me the next time you're in this situation, you remove yourself from that situation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Me, in an effort to give myself over to this thing that I have all sorts of questions about and not fully trusting, I'm giving myself over to this process. Want to follow her instructions. This is professionally just about the worst thing I've ever done, but I'm following my therapist's advice. In 2018, I'm having a really rough day.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Keep in mind, we're launching the Labrador and Friends Network at this time, and a lot of the feedback that I got in that dossier was that I was handing my work off to other people, that I was just delegating all this, which wasn't really true. But okay, I took that to heart. So I see that feedback, and then I just decide I'm going to put everything on my shoulders.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
And so for the entire network, keep in mind all the shows that we launched with, I am EPing every single one of those. Those who are familiar with my editing style, I'm meticulously at it. I don't have a free moment in my life at this point. I am just, I have a furnace and I'm just putting more coals in it and I'm burning myself out. So I have that happening and I heed my therapist's advice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I'm having a really rough morning. Quite frankly, I shouldn't have been in that day. I never did this ever. which was also following my therapist's advice, which was tell Dan and Stu how you're feeling that day so they know to be careful around you. And I did. And Dan and I had a contentious back and forth on the air where I tried to correct him on something. I don't even remember what it was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
And Dan pushed on me. And from my perspective, I was like, God damn you, Dan. Like I told you, when do I ever do this?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I told you out of all the days, like not today. Why are you trying me like this? And it's starting to bubble over. And I just say, all right, I'm gonna leave. And Dan says, okay, go. And this is like in the middle of a commercial break. I just up and leave the studio.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Hey folks, it's Mike, and I've listened back to this episode a little bit. And while I think our approach on the mental health discussion that comes up in this episode is right, we do touch on some topics that might trigger some of those in the audience. We do talk about things like self-harm, and I don't want to appear flippant by any of those conversations.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Everybody was. Everybody was because they don't know the backstory. They don't know that I'm following a therapist's advice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Yeah, I would have stayed put, but I'm giving myself over in an effort to get better to what my therapist wants, no matter my own apprehensions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I understand because I would label it too. I would couch that. I've had plenty of shitty days. There were plenty of shitty days I toughed it out through during that stretch. I'm following my therapist's advice. This is like against my better judgment. I am giving myself over to that. And I understood the pitfalls of making that decision then and there. I leave.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I try to explain as best I can on my way out. Like I have to go. I can't be in this situation. I'm not in the right headspace. No one in the shipping container really understands what I'm going through at the time. So they are just flabbergasted by this. I get up and leave. I remember I call my wife and I say, hey, I told my wife everything. And I told her about like my therapy sessions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
And I told her about like that one thing that my therapist had been harping on. Like if you're in a really stressful situation, evacuate. I'm like, I did it. I know Dan's going to try to call me. Know that I'm okay. I'm just going to shut my phone off. Mm-hmm. I know that this is probably going to change my career forever, but I'm at peace with that because I'm committed to getting right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
And I told her, people are probably going to call you. Just know that I'm okay. I just don't want to deal with it. I need my phone off. I don't need that trigger. I walked the beach for like 40 minutes because at that point, like I figured out that water really helped me through those things. Then I drove home. And I got a haircut. I was just going through my day.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
And I was surprised to learn that with my phone off, I wasn't constantly reminded of what had happened. I had already made sure that my wife wasn't worried. And I got all the serenity that I needed from that moment. So I was like, okay, that's a pretty cool data point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Oh, well, later on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Yeah, I got home. And even though I had called my wife telling her, look, people may reach out to you. Everyone I had come to learn over the course of the two hours that no one could reach me was really scared for me because I was doing something totally out of character and they didn't have the benefit of the call that I gave my wife, which is, hey, I swear I'm good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
People are going to jump to all sorts of conclusions here. I'm not suicidal. I'm sorry if that's a trigger warning. I'm not going to harm myself. I'm not going to go to a bar. I'm not doing any of that stuff. I wasn't really doing any of that stuff. Then I'm just going to unplug and get away from this really terrible environment for me. No one else had that background knowledge.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
So everyone was well within their rights to freak out, to worry. Forever changed my relationship with the shipping container after that day. Forever changed my relationship with you guys because you guys had never seen that part of me. You guys knew that I was going through something. At that point, I was very emaciated.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
So I just want to give a warning to our listening audience here that we do touch on some mental health stuff here, and some of you in the audience may find that triggering. So I just wanted to give you an advance warning.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I was down to like 205 pounds because the constant anxiety and depression that I had was just burning crazy calories.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I had pretty good knowledge because I lost my uncle to alcoholism and I lost my mom to drug addiction. And I knew that if I ran away from my problems, went to my favorite bar, had a drink, that I would feel immediate relief. But I had good enough governors in place to know, like, if I feel too good, I got to get out of there, too, because the next morning I'll feel depressed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Yeah. I never had an issue with drinking, but it was soothing in ways that I was aware of and afraid of because I guess genetically I might have that in me. But no, I left the studio and got a haircut. Pretty lame. But then I finally spoke to my wife who had been getting direct calls from you, Dan, and she got freaked out over the course of two hours.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I didn't, immediately. I did walk the beach for 40 minutes. But then I got a haircut.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Mad Club Deuce was right there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
A great bar to be sat and just have a drink by yourself. I know, but you left me alone with him for a walk on the beach in a haircut. He was emotional. He was a wreck. No, I left and there was an explosion behind me. And that explosion could have very well been my career at that point. Thankfully, it wasn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
This wasn't 790. This wasn't the independent days. I had left an ESPN management position in the middle of my shift with no plan in the back. But that's how it would work at ESPN. All right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
It's a real Western we're making here. It's a real fucked up family here, man. I did have some regret for putting Dan through that, no doubt. But at the same time, I'm like, how about me? Yeah. I fucking told you guys that morning. You sent me a text.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Yeah. I couldn't tell from that dossier which of the complaints were yours. I didn't write anything, I don't think.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
He didn't. I went around the room.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I would have finished it. Look, I have a lot of ownership from the error of my ways. I could have talked better to people, especially younger people at the time, about I couldn't really communicate what the standard was. A lot of the stuff was living in my head, and I just wasn't a good manager. I wasn't a great communicator. I wasn't great with emails.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
There's a lot of reasons why people had 17 pages worth of critiques for me. I will say that even though we had those critiques at this point, we were arguably the biggest thing in sports in terms of content.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
So I'm not justifying my actions. I'm just saying like my standard being upheld did have us at a certain level. And my standard was Dan's standard. I was just fully indoctrinated in what Dan's standard was. And it was my job to keep all that away from Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
know that people were upholding his standard, but interpersonally, it did cause some strife and some resentment, some stuff that I'm still trying to dig myself out of today. It did leave me in a bit of a pickle with ESPN to circle back to the main narrative of this episode. I thought I'd get suspended at the very least from ESPN. ESPN was supportive of me. I reported directly to Liam and Amanda.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
They had known for quite some time that I was not going well. How'd they know? I was honest with them. They would ask me how I'm doing. I had a trip to London. That was the lowest part of my life. It was a great trip. I went for Boxing Day. I went with my friend Eves and Chris Whittingham, and we had had a wonderful trip, but I was a fucking mess. And there was one night I came home to the flat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I was in the shower, and next moment I was on the floor, hyperventilating, crying, looking at pictures of my family, wondering what the fuck is going on with me. I'd called Dan. I had reached out to Dan. I'm like, Dan, I don't know what's going on with me. I think I have to go to a hospital.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I was prepared to check myself in to a mental health facility across the pond because I was just in loads of despair. So Dan had also known this was prior to me walking out. This was a catalyst of me really fucking trying to dig in and help myself because I couldn't live that way. I never once ever thought about self-harm. I always knew that I could get through it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
But at that point, I was out of answers and I didn't have a playbook and I didn't know how to identify these things that were going on. So I came back and everyone had, those in my family knew, Dan knew. I let Liam and Amanda know that, look, I don't even know if I should be here right now, but I'm seeking this treatment. And ESPN didn't really have those programs in place for me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
They were supportive of it, but this was a different time. And they found out about that and
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
you know they knew that I could have handled that a lot better but they backed me up and Liam had been executive producer Mike and Mike a different standard but he knew and he was also overseeing our show for a time so he knew the stuff that I was keeping away from Dan and the pressure cooker that I was under so he was very comforting in that moment and I had support in the right places.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
And I also had support from Dan, even though he's crying on the floor, thinking that he might've been the catalyst for something really awful. It was coming from a good place. He was caring. All of this stuff came from Dan caring about me in ways that no one had ever really cared about me in my life. I didn't have that relationship with my dad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I certainly didn't have that relationship with my mother who had long since passed. This was Dan, everything was Dan caring in ways that no one had ever really cared for me outside of my wife. And I knew that if Dan was approaching me on that level, I could resent little actions here or there. I could resent little triggers. I could resent the dossier.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
But I never once ever doubted where they were coming from, which was to get me to be the best version of myself across the board. So Dan and I, even though we had that moment there where I eject and Dan has his own emotional breakdown, we were good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Yeah. Yeah, I think then and there, Dan had a pretty good idea of what was living inside my head. And it did make us closer, having gone through that. It wasn't an expected result, but I'm grateful for it because he could have fired me. He could have. He had the power at ESPN.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Like, I don't even know what you're talking about. He could have, though.

I mean, but again, though, it's just stuff that had never been- It was one of those where I'd scroll and I'd just land on a certain word and I'd scroll again. It was never a good word.

It is. And I kind of should take this opportunity to like speak to the audience. And then I'm kind of sharing this because God bless Tony Reale. By the way, I don't make it through any of that without Tony Reale. And I've never let that be known publicly because I was going through a lot of stuff that I knew he had gone through.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
No, but I was just grasping at anybody. And Tony Reale, who I didn't have like this great, like we just knew each other. It's funny where you find it, huh? Admirer of his work. But everybody, I had enough mutual friends that told me that, you know, Tony was his salt of the earth guy. And I flew up to New York just to see Tony. Just to see Tony.

Really bland carnitas at Will Kane's house.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Will was actually a friend of mine at that point, and we are no longer friends. FS1. But Tony Reale, and I know he kind of shies away from this stuff, Tony Reale was a lifesaver for me in terms of normalizing and see, like, this guy operates at a high level. immense respect for him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
He works in this highly creative environment and you would never know what was going on with his life until he took the opportunity to share some of that stuff. And I knew how powerful it was to see someone that had gone through similar things, give voice to it. How does this guy have it all together? So I went to him in a quest to find out how he did. So you asked me like what I did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I talked to people that had gone through therapy. I then found my own therapist. I identified my triggers through therapy. I identified ways to deal with that. Sometimes it was leaving. Sometimes it was going to water. You know how some people visualize water? I learned through that, through many failed attempts at meditation in an effort to get better, that I wasn't good at meditating.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I had to literally go to water because I couldn't visualize it. I guess my mind was racing. Breathing exercises. I took breathing classes. Ultimately, and this is not the path for everybody, I dealt with bad anxiety and stress through 2022. And then ultimately, and this isn't the answer for everybody, despite my own hesitance, I spoke to a doctor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I had already been clinically diagnosed for depression. I had always said, no, I don't want any of that stuff because of my mom's addiction history. And then I
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I got on Lexapro, which my doctor talked me into because ultimately there were some cases of people that had gone through the full treatment of Lexapro and had dosed down and followed doctor's orders when it came to that stuff and could eventually conquer it and not need the medication altogether.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
So it wasn't a high percentage, but I wanted to try that as opposed to just popping a pill, a zany whenever I felt anxiety because I didn't want that dependency. I'd identified that having a bourbon on the rocks made me feel better. I didn't want that in pill form.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

One last note on the first half of the oral history, because that's the first time we talked really not even publicly, privately about a lot of these things. And I know our timelines got a little warped and I appreciate what Dan and Stu Gotts did in that first half. I think it certainly brought about more questions, but it also brought about answers to some of the show's great mysteries.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
And I think even the audience gave us some leeway in understanding sometimes breakups can be complicated. Breakups can be hard. People hold on to what they remember most about it and sometimes timelines shift. All that being said, I just wanted to thank you guys for being forthright and

We're just going to tell you how things were and the events that led up to, in this timeline, our eventual separation. But...

Let's go to 2017, which is, man, such a great time in our show. We really have the co-host cooking. We feel really good about our ensemble. We're putting out good work. We're positioned well. ESPN likes us. We're navigating the Kaepernick and Trump stuff to the best of our ability, but something happens. And Stugatz, you were in the studio when the news came. Dan, you were live on the

air when the news came. This is when we had texts at this point, but you had social media up and I knew it was just only a matter of time before you saw it for yourself. And I didn't want that to happen on the air. So I remember we were in the middle of a segment. My heart dropped when I saw the news that John Skipper was leaving ESPN.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I then went to, I can't have these guys find out on the air and derail a segment. Let me get them to break as early as I can. And I remember vividly, I can feel the button on my fingertip talking to Dan in his headset, like, hey, it's going to be out there. Skipper has stepped down. Let's take this thing to break and we'll talk about it during the break. I remember the look on Dan's face.

So we learned throughout this entire thing through just casual content, folks. This is a content factory down here. Oh, yeah. We learned that Daniel Baldwin does a radio show in Syracuse, in ESPN Syracuse. Great show. It's a great show. It's a fantastic show. ESPN 97.7.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

His producer, Daniel Baldwin's producer, seems to be on our side a little bit in sort of explaining this, because this is about family right now. You've crossed a brotherhood right now. This is a really strong bond. I mean, you opened his eyes to something about his brother, Billy, that he had no idea.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
But we have all sorts of developments, Dan. I guess we'd like to imagine that there's a group text amongst the Baldwin brothers, and I like to think they're texting about you over the last couple of days quite frequently. In fact, Daniel's doing a show today, and Alec is joining his show to discuss this war. Oh, no. Oh, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
I'm not sure if that was Billy's or his. Again, you're escalating this to a point. I think he was talking about Billy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
But there's even more of an exciting development, you guys. And I just got this email like a minute ago. Talk to us. Let's go. daniel's so eager to join the show and address you man to man that he is considering organizing a conference call of all the bald ones just to tell you how wrong you are however this opens up a whole can of worms because i've learned all the bald ones sound identical oh no
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Well, again, not we. You did. I only said no to Daniel. I was a hard no on Daniel. But if Daniel comes with Alec attached, then we are. But how do you know if it's Alec or Daniel? It could be all Daniel. The conference calls could be.

Yeah, and that kind of scared me, speaking for myself, because you're right, and we covered it in a previous episode, your North Star always, when it came to your relationship with John Skipper, was just leave me alone, which is not how people normally flex that muscle when they get close to the boss.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
He certainly was, but... Look, other people have been close to bosses in media, and they use it to accrue incredible amounts of power. What I'm here to say is, like, it's the ask generally when there's a bond that tight is not just leave me alone. It's what else can I get?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Well, I was stunned by it. You have to keep in mind, 2017, this is a time where there was a public reckoning and a lot of big time, powerful people were getting called out publicly. And there was just all of this mystery because it was a shock.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
At that point, I had grown more into my role of people will vent about what we talk about to me because they know that they're not to bring it to damn unless it's a four-alarm fire. I had already had a pretty good idea of the tensions inside of Bristol. with us veering into social issues. Keep in mind, we weren't really talking politics.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
We were talking about it through the prism of social issues, but that was uncomfortable enough for some over there. So I had a pretty good idea of how many times they would lodge complaints my way about our show that I was very effective in keeping away from the main show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
And a governor for all of that was, provided we don't take personal shots, we don't harp on these things, we're not using our platform to call the president names or his supporters names, like we can navigate this because we have that top line protection. And when I read that blurb, I realize that top line of protection is gone Who's going to replace him? Does he get to handpick his replacement?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
Ideologically, will that replacement get what it is that we do? Because John didn't even get what it is that we did. He got what Dan did and what Dan stood for. So my mind goes to a million places because we were in a good spot at that point. We were enjoying our boom period. We were the biggest thing in sports radio. We were the biggest thing in sports podcasting at the time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
We were getting a better platform on video.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
We were humming. And we had that top line of protection. And I knew that that was a variable that was going to change things dramatically because out of all the people that were rumored, at least in-house, the names that I heard, we didn't have much of a relationship with. And Dan, your relationship with John Fortified over at ESPN, the magazine, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 10
As background, because you just will get to the point where you actually go and visit your friend in one of the more troubling times. I don't think we've ever really covered how you became friendly with John and how he identified you as someone that can really change the culture at ESPN. So I'm curious if we can go back to the origins of your relationship with John Skipper.

If he himself is bored by it, how can I get drawn in? I'm not disagreeing with his style of play. His style of play is very aesthetically pleasing. You don't see a guy that big be that skilled, but he is boring.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
I don't find the Chiefs boring, and this is probably going to drive some people crazy. Patrick Mahomes does not bore me, and Patrick Mahomes is probably a great comp for Jokic because you tune in any game, you might see something that you've never seen before at that position. Patrick Mahomes is cool. He's a superstar. He's engaging. He draws the audience in in ways that Jokic clearly doesn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
And also, Patrick Mahomes is always there in the end. Jokic, we've had this conversation about him for three years. He's won one title. He's got to be there in the end.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Yeah, but they've had a lot of one-score games, and every one-score game they turn to Patrick Mahomes. Sometimes they turn to their defense and they make plays, and you know Patrick Mahomes is going to do something on that final drive. I understand. This is the most boring incarnation, probably the most frustrating, and the first time that I've really felt Chiefs fatigue. That guy's just special.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I like how you're not counting the Broncos' loss either. Yeah, don't count it. It wasn't even played. That wasn't real? Were these super exciting? Historically, Hopkins and Hollywood Brown, who is now healthy, right?

I would love to give that receiving core to Josh Allen. And I'm the biggest Khalil Shakir guy that there possibly is. And also, he's on the IR. But Rasheed Rice is also a part of that unit.

Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Yeah, his one dimension is I'll catch a 45-yard bomb.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
They haven't been explosive, but their explosive guys have been hurt. Although Xavier Worthy, the first-round receiver, that is explosive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Mahomes had a 54-yard touchdown pass to Xavier Worthy in Week 4 against the Chargers. It was their longest pass completion on a scoring play since 2022.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Dan, I'm 39 years old. The only memories that I have of Michael Jordan are when he was winning. I don't remember the roadblocks. I needed the documentary to fill in those gaps. When he was losing to the Pistons, was Michael Jordan certifiably consensus the best player in the league?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Hey, howdy, listener. Why don't you sit down here next to me? Let's have a fireside conversation in the winter. This is all theater of the mind anyways. The weather outside is a little chilly. Let's warm up. Let's cozy up. Not just to each other, but also to that beautiful white can of Miller Lite. That's right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Make these moments even better with Miller Lite, the great-tasting light beer for people who love beer. A new year is a perfect time for friends, family, and great-tasting light beer. Tastes like Miller time. You know, as the football games get bigger, everybody's talking about hosting parties. It's always difficult. Everyone's got an opinion.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Why don't you just bring out a nice cooler of Miller lights and make everybody happy? You could be on opposite sides of the big game, but you still know that you are brought together by Miller time. Miller Lite is a great unifier. Miller Lite is brewed for taste. It hits different than other Lite beers. The original Lite beer since 1975 and still the very best one. Miller Lite. Great taste.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Yeah, I think it is shocking. It's kind of shocking. I think it's shocking. Because I think everybody would understand, like... more unguardable, even more dominant, but better offensive player, I feel like that is shocking.

How about statistics?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
That's how I define it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Okay, but you're going up against the greatest myth in sports.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
There's no way that body holds up for five more titles.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Look at the efficiencies. Look at the scoring. Let me be clear. I don't disagree with you. In my mind, the most unstoppable basketball player I've ever seen is Jokic. We're wrong. We're wrong. No one's copping the Jokic shoes. I get the IG ads all the time. No one goes to the gym and says, you know what? I'm going to play like Jokic today. It's just not. Michael Jordan was a cultural phenomenon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Izzy, the league is dying on his watch. Like Michael Jordan rescued the NBA.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
And brought it to unprecedented heights. You think Jokic is going to be in Space Jam?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Thank you. I don't like what's happening here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
of the TVs, maybe? Two words for you. Bill Lambert.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
What? Wow. You think you're helping your cause now?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
Well, I would love Hawk's perspective on it as a man that recently relocated to South Florida. So the new perspective is certainly one that I would welcome.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
You're just going at people's character today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Michael Jordan vs. Nikola Jokic
This episode probably should come with a trigger warning. But also, I went to a Baptist kindergarten elementary school, Westwood. This wasn't that long ago. I had a principal, Miss McCraney. She had a glass eye and toes that would curl up for whatever reason. She still wore open-toed shoes. And she had a paddle in her office that had holes in it so it was more aerodynamic.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Dallas is still out there. I did see a report.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
No, I know. I saw a thing where Belichick I don't know exactly the source, but it was like, had Belichick known that the Cowboys job would be available, there may have been interest there. And it's like, had he known? Did he not know Mike McCarthy was the coach last year? The whole world knew that job was going to be available. What are we talking about?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Anyway, you were going to say? I don't know. You guys got a quarterback, huh? What do you mean? Your coach. Yeah, geez. Good morning, Billy. I'm rattled, yeah. What's the matter? You okay? Aaron Glenn, I saw, wants to have Aaron Rodgers back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Did you see poor Robert Sala was flying into Jacksonville last night for an interview while all of that was going down?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Might as well get right back on that bird, buddy. Jacksonville's making the Jets look good, huh? The Balkies. You okay, Billy? No. Goddamn football. God bless football. Oh, yeah. I missed even that up today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
It seems like a weird phenomenon, and I don't know if you have thoughts on this, Adam, or maybe we're just overthinking it. It seems like kickers are getting more accurate from further away and less accurate from close. We've seen people drilling the long field goals this year at incredible accuracy and missing extra points seemingly every game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Adam, let's say in a strange world, this weekend you get a call. It's Andy Reid. He's panicked. Something happened with Harrison. Oh, wow. Something happened with Harrison. We need you in a pinch. How far can you still hit him from? What do you tell him?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
When does daddy stop letting the boys like win? You know what I mean? Like, are you still out there competing with them and kicking contests?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Yeah. It's sad. You know what makes me happy, though? God bless football is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. I'm happy because it's going to be a fun Sunday. But after Sunday, it kind of all goes downhill. It's a very slow, sad march to the Super Bowl. I mean, we're going to be in New Orleans for Super Bowl week. So we'll be there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Yeah, you're not included. You can't vote for yourself.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Yeah. He was an MVP. Or if you want to suggest someone, Adam, feel free.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Is there such a thing, Adam, as like kicker envy? Like we hear from quarterbacks like, oh, I wish I could do that. I couldn't do that. Like certain quarterback could do. Do you have that with kickers? Like there's kickers that could do something you couldn't?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
You know who can't get further than him, Stugatz? His son.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
We'll enjoy some of the fun that Radio Row has to offer. But yeah, it's sadness because you realize... that the season is coming to an end. And once the season ends, I can't say that God bless football is presented by Smirnoff. We do game days. Please drink responsibly. The Smirnoff company, New York, New York. It's just a sad time. Last game of the year. There's only three of them left. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
NFC championship, AFC championship. And then the Super Bowl. And then it's all over. And then after this week, things get complicated because if you do our weekly fantasy contest, which is presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka, please drink responsibly. And you can compete against us. You go to DKNG.co slash Smirnoff. There's really only two teams. This week, there's four.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
You're playing for the NFC championship. Look at you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
So you mentioned that this is the third time that you guys play this year. Their offensive coordinator, Kellen Moore, was your offensive coordinator last year. How does that work out? Because obviously you have a game plan from the past games. But like the first time you see him, do you like go up and volunteer like, hey, I have all this information.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I think they may do X, Y, Z to people come ask you like, how does that work?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
There's four, but it's hard. And here's the thing about this week that is tricky. And we're going to get to the NFC championship in a moment. Here's the thing that's tricky. Tricky. The cheapest starting quarterback available right now is Patrick Mahomes. Oh, boy. Weekly fantasy contest. Yeah. And I don't think that I want to take Patrick Mahomes. Like, that's the crazy thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And I anticipate it not being great weather. So I don't know what we're doing here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Well, I looked up the weather because there was a time when maybe we were going to go to this game. I looked up the weather, and it doesn't seem like snow is on the horizon. But it's definitely not going to be 85 and sunny. So... I don't know that this is going to be a high-scoring affair. I mean, I hope that it is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Have you ever personally had a situation where like you have to remind yourself, lock back in because the energy is you're getting too excited or the energy is too much like headed into the game? They're like, let's just like take a step back, like refocus.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
During the season and during the playoffs, do you do you get to take a step back and like admire what some of the other running backs do like the year that Saquon has had and the way that you see him kind of like what you're saying is like slow it down, like not hit the initial gap, take a step, and then he breaks one for 70 yards.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Do you watch film like that and say like, wow, holy crap, like what he's doing is special? Or do you are you just kind of focused on you and your team and kind of what you have coming up that week?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And I don't like the people that are like, hey, just because you don't score, you know, 30 points, that doesn't mean that it was a bad game. Like, that's fine. But like 1310, like, I don't think we're going to be leaving saying like, wow, that was like a defensive masterclass. This was great because if we're going to be honest, Buffalo is not capable of a defensive masterclass.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
So if it's a low scoring game, it's not because defense was great. It's because it wasn't a super fun game to watch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Let me tell you something, Austin, real life sucks. Don't leave football. You don't want to get to real life. You don't want to get to marriage. Yeah. Body hurts, but like, you'll take that pain over the pain. Yeah. My body doesn't hurt. Yeah. Like don't, don't do it. Play as long as you can and enjoy these happy years because once you hit real life, Oh buddy, you're going to miss football.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
How much of a fan is your wife? Like, how much football does she consume? Is she at every game? Because, like, I have an idea for you if she's not paying close attention. And that is, if you don't want to go through the whole pains of another season, and maybe she's not keeping a close eye, maybe we just fake a season. You know what I mean?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And then you have, like, a you year where you go and you're like, this is very... Yeah, very regimented. And then it's just a lot of you time. You know what I mean? When you transition from football to like the rest of your life and you just slowly go into it, you like stick with your schedule. You're like, bye, honey. See you later. Off to work.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Sometimes. Sometimes they're great at defense. Sometimes. Love Spags.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And she doesn't know the difference if she's not paying attention. If she is, I would have recommended because you'll get caught and it'll be very suspicious. Yeah, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Well, tell DQ, tell, hey, just make sure that we have another 30 out there next year. You know what I mean? And then like, what difference do we know?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I'm just saying we have some clunkers in there every now and again. You know what I mean? We do, yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
When you do, obviously not that we're talking about retirement, but when you do, do you think that you're going to stay connected to the game in some way or stay following the game? Or are you going to kind of disconnect from it for a little bit?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Well, that's the thing. It's also hard, right? Because this is your life. This has been your life, what you've been working towards the entire time. And then all of a sudden, you can't just cut it off like that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
It's going nowhere. Don't worry about Europe. It'll always be there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
No, I'm a 300s guy. No, I'm a cheap guy. I'm a 300s guy. You think that I'm like a suite level guy? No, no, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
When's the last time you cried after the Super Bowl because football was done?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
No, I'm a nosebleed guy. He's a 300 level guy, Mike. I'm a nosebleed guy. You're a 300 level guy. Fine. I'm looking online and like... I see the prices and I'm like, three rows from the top is fine for me. Right. Because I'm not paying twice the price. I did that in Pittsburgh.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Good decision. As you should. I've always thought the Super Bowl is exciting, but to your point, it's really kind of like even a sad week at Radio Row because it's kind of like a march towards the death of the season. You know the season's over.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Opening night is fun. Super Bowl week is fun because everybody's in town. You get to see people. You get to interview people, hang out. But you know that the party's over on Sunday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I was going to say the sadness lasts like two weeks and then you're in Indianapolis at a combine. You're like, OK, this never actually does end.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
What I do is I hit zoom all the way out so that I can see every single possible seat. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Well, if I'm going to be honest with you, I have been – I've been looking the last two weeks have been. Plans have been in motion to maybe get me to cold games just for content purposes. We spoke about Buffalo, I think the other on Monday we spoke about my plans to go to Buffalo for the Buffalo game against the Ravens. And then that didn't get cleared, so it didn't happen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Chris, I don't know if you saw it yesterday. I believe it was the day before. You mentioned how Josh takes care of the ball. He doesn't turn the ball over now. He's learned where they ask him. On that third and goal where you were rushing in, you looked like you wanted to pitch that ball back and try to get someone into the end zone. He's like, no. I was like, did I think about it? Absolutely.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Would old Josh have done that? Absolutely. That's what I'm saying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Oh, my gosh, he's going to do that? Don't do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
But I was looking for a snow game then. And then this past week, we got an invitation to go to the game. And this goes against everything that we've spoken out against it. we were invited to see the game in a suite. So it wouldn't have been a cold game. Nice and cozy. But it's a situation where the flights were not going to allow for us to, or allow for me to make it to that game and come back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Hold on a second. What numbers are you crunching here in this analysis of yours? He counted quarterbacks. He was like, one quarterback's good, two.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
It was, well. It was very nice of her, yes. I'm not going to say. Me and Billy. I very much appreciate the invitation from our friend, Ed. Right. But we were not going to be able to. I was not going to be able to make it up there and get back. And, you know, anywho. Yeah. Cut off. Yes. Is it just cold or is it cold in the elements?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
No, I saw. I saw. And there's there's like a two to four percent chance of precipitation. And the wind was only six miles an hour. I did my research. Good. I wow. I'm impressed. 30 is not 30. Honestly. Summer day. Summer day.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
On Thanksgiving, though, are you ever that guy? Thanksgiving family? Of course. Of course they are. That's why all the kids want to be on my team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
That's all. Chris knows from Thanksgiving.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Get some hand warmers in there. It's an open air 30. Yeah. Open air 30. Oh, I know. Arrowhead's one of my second homes. Yeah, Chief Kingdom. Yeah, exactly right. Arizona being the first, right? Well, I have a number of second homes, so. What are you, Golic now? I don't play favorites. Well, my second homes don't come with houses. They come with quality inns, you know?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Drew Locke gave you guys a memorable game. It cost you the number one pick in the draft, but you had a five touchdown Drew Locke game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Because in the hotel front, I'm also a 300-level guy, if I'm going to be honest with you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I'm good for Wednesday night. I like Wednesdays. He's up to something, Chris.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Wait, hold on. Where are you doing it? Like a live show?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Well, it sounds like you're putting this together. You need some guests. I mean, we might have some availabilities. You know what I mean? I need a little help.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Can I tell you real quick, it's a game I like to call Zip It Up. Just real quick, because I'm sure you guys would love this game. By the way, we haven't gotten into the AFC and the NFC Championship games. That's what people want to talk about this week. We're going to get to it with some of our guests. They are good games. Great games. Can we just zip it up, Sean McVay? Like, just...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Oh, Carl. Oh, Carl. We have a development from last week that we're going to have. I think we're going to need you involved in, but I don't think that there's much, if any, wiggle room in this situation. Okay, let me hear it. We'll get to it shortly. Stugatz is joining here, but we have various witnesses to what happened. Mojo, I don't think, is aware of the situation. Oh boy, what happened?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Yeah, Mojo, we can't see you. I don't know if it's intentional or not. I need to hear about this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I believe that Mike Rawless is the only person that was familiar with what was going on and agreed to this. Oh, and he's joining now, which is perfect. This is true, I can tell already. He too is involved in this scenario, unfortunately, and he may be the one that is affected most. the most, aside from Kay Funk.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
So Carl, Cher Bear, Mike, Gordy, Kay Funk, the rest of the class. Last week, Kay Funk was extended an offer, a unique offer, For the college football national championship game. A very generous offer, Mojo. You're not aware of this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
The offer was if Kay Funk won the game, won his pick, like he selected against the spread, if he won that, it would count as plus 10 wins. However, if he lost... it would count as 10 losses.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And Mojo, seeing as you came in and you said... that you would be taking opposite Funk, that meant if Kay Funk won, you would get 10 losses and he would get 10 wins. So there was a potential for a 20-game swing in the standings. Redmaster. Yeah. Okay. Now...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Well, thank you for ruining the end of the story, Stugatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
zip it up Sean McVay I don't want to hear from you that you want an answer about Matthew Stafford's future sooner rather than later where every year you play the game am I going to retire as a 37 year old head coach like I love it zip it up okay I don't want to hear from you trying to rush Matthew Stafford when you are always keeping people in limbo about your future that spoiler alert always ends with you coaching again because you've been a coach for six minutes enough right
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Well, okay, so here's the situation. K-Funk ended up taking Notre Dame plus eight and a half.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
So for those unfamiliar with how that game ended, Notre Dame had it within eight points, and then there was a seemingly meaningless field goal with 20 seconds left in the game to make it an 11-point game, thus costing K-Funk 10 losses and giving Mojo 10 wins. Hold on to it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
it got even better the guy ran out of the end zone for the two-point conversion so i didn't the game end at nine uh that was yeah that happened in the nfl yeah that was that was that was as well and k-funk lost that game as well k-funk because of that safety k-funk last week went 1 12 and 1
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
So here's the thing. It was looking like Carl had a bad week at 0-3-1, but Kay Funk came in at 12-1-1. Sherbert had a 1-2-1. Gordy had a 2-1-1. Here's where there may be controversy. So I updated the standings, and I have an update of the standings headed into last week and then after last week. So headed into last week, Mike Rollis was our new leader in the clubhouse. He had a 593 win percentage.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
He had surpassed Mojo with a 579 win percentage. What? Yes. Yes. Yes. Mike Rollis has been hot as of late. Carl has a 558 win percentage. Gordy has a 488 win percentage. Kay Funk had a 441 win percentage. And Sherbert had a 411 win percentage. Now, after last week... There's been change in the standings because Mojo went 12-1-1 and K-Funk went 1-12-1.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
So because of the 12-1-1, Mojo now has a 6-21 win percentage and Mike Rollins has a 6-0-8 win percentage. Oh, my gosh. And Pat, the spreadmaster.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
You're welcome. Had Mojo only been 3-0-1, Mojo's win percentage would have been 585 and Mike Rawless would still be the leader at 608. So the 12-1-1 has now catapulted Mojo back into first place now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Hold on. Hold on, Carl. Let me finish. There's nothing to say no to. I will say this. I will say this. Mike was in the room when we made this agreement, and he approved of said agreement.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
So I don't know that there's a lot that he can argue. I will say this. Just one last thing, and I don't know if this will sway the jury here. Because of his 1-12-1 record last week, Kay Funk's win percentage is now 394, and he has fallen below Cher Bear for the season at 410 win percentage. So Kay Funk is now in last place after his 112-1 week. All right, let's have Carl speak here.

How's that sound? I'd rather hear sooner rather than later. Yeah, so would everybody else who's trying to figure out if you're going to be the coach of your team or not when you do this ridiculous charade of I'm going to retire in my 30s from being a head coach. Sure. Guy. you haven't made enough money to retire yet. Okay. Like enough.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
hold on a second hold on a second hold on maybe we can okay let's hear carl i think i think look i think we all agree k-fun gets the 10 losses right i think maybe i think that's absolutely i never that is fact All right, hold on a second. Maybe, maybe. Okay, how about this? Maybe we can do this. Because Rollis was in first place.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Maybe what we can do is maybe we split the 10 wins and Mojo gets five and Mike Rollis gets five. Kayfung still gets his 10 losses and we all are happy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I'd be happy with that. He didn't even stand to lose anything in that. I think the most important thing, though, is Cato gets the 10 losses.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
12 losses. Well, we would have to have this arbitration. Putting my record on the line.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I think Gordie was in last week too. That's no way to live, sir. How about this? You want a couple wins, Carl? We can throw you a couple wins.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Maybe Mo just stays with five, give you three, Rollis two. As long as Caleb gets the ten losses, we're good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Well, I'll say this before Kayfung comes in and starts spreading his propaganda. I was going to get to the games right after this. I know what he's going to say. Well, we have two games. I know what he's going to say. So when things get started, if you guys remember correctly last week, the original starting place was 10 wins and five losses.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Oh, I'm going to go into broadcasting on and do this and that enough. You're going to coach next year. Okay. You got nothing else going. You're going to coach.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And then we said that would then be five wins and 10 losses for Mojo. And then as we were talking it out, I subtly changed it to 10 and 10, kept saying 10 and 10 over and over again and asked, do you agree to this? And he said he agrees to this. Now, Billy started at 10 and 5, but I kept changing it to 10 and 10 until he ultimately agreed to 10 and 10, not knowing that it had been changed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
But it was cleared stated or stated clear as day over and over. Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
All right. We need to add one note. Hold on. K-Funk, is that true? Is that true, K-Funk? Is that true, K-Funk? Wait, hold on. Mojo has something.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
that's not true he should be held completely false allegation yeah i don't know i was nearly a witness all right okay fuck you'll get your you'll get your chance just hang in there okay after we pick the game sign off on it yes right right right no he was nearly a witness yeah i think you sign off on it i didn't sign off on it and i did not sign off on it there you go i just witnessed it yeah you nod your head like in any sort of direction
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I think I went, oh, man. So if anything, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
NFC championship. I want to hear you say zip it up. I said, zip it up, zip it up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
That's great. I also say this. Gordy was in a very bad spot about six weeks ago where he asked us flat out. Thank you. I did want to discuss that. Thank you for bringing it up. Please do not say my record because of how bad it is. And now he's one game under 500. Gordy has very quietly gone on a tear as of late, and he's got himself right back in the mix.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
NFC championship. Are we excited? Which game are you more excited about? I feel like the NFC Championship might end up being the more exciting of the two games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
What a comeback story. Comeback player of the year, Gordon. Well done.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
What are you doing? I mean, it seems like this has been settled. So maybe we just get to the games to God.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Well, we'll revisit the Mojo and Rolesting. We'll take it under advisement and figure out what we do here so we don't get caught up in this, I think.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
What do you mean? Yeah, but you're still going to dictate. You want it worth 10? Oh, we didn't get to you. What did you want to say before? Sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
That's not audio. What do your notes say, just out of curiosity? Because every week you tell us you have notes and you've never shown them to us. Is it just like doodles?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Yeah, same thing. I'm with Carl. Let's keep it short.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Yeah, this is an important pick. So did you take the Commanders or the Eagles? I did. I did. I took the Commanders.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
They're both second to last place and last place.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I'd really like to just really quickly throw my hat in the ring for rookie of the year. Yeah. Gordie was comeback player of the year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And then I'm going to, speaking of Gordie, I'm going to make the mistake that he's made too many times this year, and I'm going to get emotional. And, you know, I want it. My brain wants to pick the Chiefs, but I just want the Bills to do it, man. So I'm going Buffalo. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Yeah. So it's 39 degrees, partly cloudy, 9-mile-an-hour winds. So 39, it's not going to snow, you wouldn't think. I mean, it can't snow if it stays 39. In Philly, you're saying. Yeah, yeah. So that game, it's not going to be the weather we saw last week in Philly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I don't know if the kids should hear whatever you're going to say.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Mikey, I'll tell you this. If it was up to me, you'd be there, like in a heartbeat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Yeah, well, you know, he started by you. I don't know what to tell you. Yeah. What's the matchup you guys want to see?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
commanders would be fun i think i agree i don't want to see eagles chiefs again we already saw it so well commanders would be fun because then we also get the situation where we try to fire nick sirianni so like right right i like i like the fire nick sirianni after an a or nfc championship loss and i think the three of us are pulling for a boy austin eckler to get to a super bowl here so yes definitely one yeah austin eckler um
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Washington and Buffalo would be fun because, as we noted, Buffalo, not exactly known for their defense. So we could have a fun, maybe high-scoring Super Bowl, a little back and forth between the commanders and the Bills. Give me the history. Give me the Chiefs. Give me them going for the three-peat. Again, I wouldn't mind a three-peat. I really wouldn't mind a three-peat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And if the Chiefs won this year again, even after their 15-2 regular season, maybe one of their more impressive Super Bowl wins. You're right. Some are more impressive than others. I'm with you on that. They had to go through the likes of Bo Nix to get there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
the dominant that's what happens when you get the one c two home games to a super bowl billy that's what brady did it would be it would be funny if like the chiefs go to the super bowl against the commanders win the super bowl and then like things do not play out the way that we hope they do play out and in five years like man the chiefs went through bonics
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And then they went through Josh Allen and the Bills, which is okay. You're leaving out C.J. Stroud. I forgot about Stroud.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Oh, you know what? They didn't go through Bo Nix. Bo Nix was the Bills. Yeah, they didn't go through Bo Nix.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I had to zip it up. Yeah, I had to zip it up. The Balkys. I wonder if Balky wasn't there, what kind of feeding frenzy there would have been to coach Trevor Lawrence, you know?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Did you see Belichick finally signed his contract? Oh, really?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Yeah, he's locked in for five minutes now.

You don't have to dig your heels on this one. Everyone admits this was a mistake. We can all move on. You don't need to have a think piece as to why we're right. And you certainly don't have to say sports stay in your lane here when they were. They absolutely were. And if it wasn't for sports, they would have gotten away with this heinous thing. So thank you, sports.

Division is good. This is an easy place to cause division, and it's not often that that administration has an overwhelmingly popular position. And the sentiment in this country – aligns itself more with that view than what is projected onto Democrats, which may not even be accurate. Like I said, within the Democratic Party, there's general consensus and alignment there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
But it's just an easy winning position. And Dems probably have to find a different talking point on it.

Hey everybody, it's Mike Ryan, and how great is this weather? We're getting out of the coldest part of winter into the early onstage spring. I know down south, the weather is perfect.

Don Libetard. That's not my favorite rejoin. Context needs to be applied. Over a joke. I thought the context was applied. We'd like to rip that out of context. I was going for a thing. And I have a family.

I don't love Matthew Kachuk more than my daughter. Stugatz. Now it's pretty damn close.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
We move on to something of, I guess, not equal importance, but pretty seismic nonetheless. John Cena's heel turn. Now, John Cena, for many of you, you know about this. It's basically, there was everything before John Cena's heel turn, and then everything that happened since. One thing that I can't wrap my brain around, Zazz, is what's in it for Travis Scott?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
That is surprising. You were there with your son? I was there with my son. You should have said, no, I was there by myself. I love Travis Scott.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
He's got a great energy. He's a good live performer. Oh, my God.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
It's like the new rock show. It's like the new mosh pit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Yeah, pretty crazy. In terms of being able to control an audience and command an audience, for better or worse, given Travis Scott's history, sometimes it gets away from him. But being able to put fans in a total uproar and get them to lose their minds, Travis Scott can command an audience. And I know that it's loaded given his history, but I don't know why he would punch Cody Rhodes in the face.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
He couldn't even block it. He couldn't defend himself. Cheap shot that seemed to do some real damage.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
I'm very down on Travis Scott. Poor Cody. But then John Cena disappears for a couple of weeks, and we don't have any answers for his actions. All we have are questions. So John Cena finally appears. And by the way, I love—great idea to have this build-up for WrestleMania really kick off in earnest in Europe. European crowds are the absolute best. They are so good at these wrestling events. I—
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Well, they're just so used to song because of soccer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Yes, because their sporting culture is so great, where here it's just like, Let's go Cena! Defense! Defense! Maybe the occasional, Everybody clap your hands! You're saying bangers right now. What's wrong with what you're saying? Look, I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here, but I do like what Europe does with it where they sing popular songs and they make soccer chants into wrestling chants.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
It's a great thing. We should encourage that here in the States. But it's really good for WWE too because it helps establish clear narratives and the fans watching at home are going to take their note from the fans over there in the audience. It's like, oh... Cody Rhodes is actually still over as a babyface, this rare white bread babyface. It's a perfect crowd, man. It was great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
So John Cena comes out, and I didn't like certain aspects of this, but it caught me so off guard, Zazz, because I didn't expect this to be the direction. I didn't expect him to come out in the same Fruity Pebbles t-shirts. Right, me neither. I thought he was gonna do something to his look. I thought he was gonna, I mean, his face changed when he got the signal from The Rock, so I thought.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
I think it's because they printed a lot of T-shirts, and they probably decided on this, he'll turn a little late in the game, but whatever, like, that's fine. But there's logic here. They can reverse engine. It was just totally expected that, like, okay, we're gonna go, we're gonna make John Cena the chicken shit heel, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Okay, that's not exactly... But it makes sense with the long-term storytelling because John Cena hasn't been able to win a match on his own, head-to-head. So he resorts to some of the evil. But I didn't like that he didn't mention The Rock. I didn't like that he didn't mention Travis Scott.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Let it play itself out over a few weeks. I'm willing to go with this. I think that... I was really surprised. This past week was about, I got a problem with the fans. Yeah. Cody Alfa to him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
This was refreshing in that Cody has kind of been built up by all of his, you know, going up against The Rock, going up against Roman Reigns. He's always been. Every Raw leading up to WrestleMania was Cody Rhodes getting his ass kicked. There wasn't time for Cody Rhodes, really, in any of these programs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Like, he's worked some good matches, good programs with Kevin Owens and AJ Styles, where he's gotten to be a tough guy. But I really like the dynamic, which is like, Cody Rhodes, I've headlined WrestleMania. Like, you lose all the time. If this is the guy that I'm facing, I'm going to Kill you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
They go to that well occasionally with Cody Rhodes when they really want to hammer home a point. I'm not the biggest fan of it, but I want the storytelling to evolve. But I was so caught off guard by him coming out with his traditional look. I liked it. And by the logic to his turn and not invoking The Rock that I was like, OK, I'm kind of in on this because I'm surprised by it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
And it's not often that wrestling surprises people. And it's done so with this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
He had the sticker still on the shirt. No way. It looked like a plant. What's the matter with you? And you got the kid who was shook. They had the camera locked in when he goes like, and this kid, like they talked about that one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
The logic behind a dude that has just been beaten down by social media and fans like I can't do right. And after 20 years, like it's finally gotten to me, it actually tracks. And a lot of it's actually happening in pop culture, too. We're seeing like Drake fatigue and he's kind of had a bit of a heel turn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
certainly happening in hip-hop a lot with some of the other names that we've referenced there for way different reasons but it does kind of tap into what's going on with pop culture the guys that were celebrated are now vilified through a lot of their own in some cases heinous actions but it's cool to see art kind of imitate life a little bit here and i'm
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
I'm very curious to see where this one goes. I'm excited. This is fresh, and it's not often that WWE feels fresh. Look, there's a good guy, there's a bad guy, someone gets low-blowed. There's only so many things that you can do in the world of wrestling.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Turning John Cena heel, we've never, well, we have seen it before in his earlier days, but not as a megastar, as the face of a generation of wrestling. So I'm really curious to see where this one goes, and I'm super hyped for WrestleMania season. Are you going out there?

Yeah, they start. So you're done. The worst part about leaving Philadelphia, it takes you an hour to leave the stadium. All right, boys, what are we going to be doing now? It's 1 a.m. It's hard to catch a vibe there. West Coast, WrestleMania?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
I'm sorry. Tony, you're looking a little rough around the edges lately. Is this a new look? Are you pivoting?

I would have never been able to tell that. Big boy. Roy also does that. That's right. Yeah, Roy cuts his own hair.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
I like that part. It's nice. I read about sharks attacking people all the time. One thing I haven't read about in a very long time is, oops, barber accidentally killed somebody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
That was the last guy. Ryan Adams was in the band. The demon barber of Fleet Street was the last person. And he was intentionally doing it. The accidental throat slash during the shave, that's something that, and I'd be on that algo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
The world's a big place. A lot of bad barbers out there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Yeah, it goes to somebody else, man. What are you paying? What are you paying? Don't worry about me. I'm curious. I'm not going to take a quiz. Zazz, how much do you think is too much for a haircut? Definitely 50.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
I wrote down the number that I pay every 10 days. I wrote it down here. I'm just going to slide it over to you on the table. You tell me if that's too much. This is including tip. This is including tip.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
I tipped $15 on a $45 haircut, so I paid $60. Look, Rosie's good. You know who goes to Rosie? Ubaldo Jimenez. You think I'm not going to trust Ubaldo Jimenez's barber?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
I get five bucks when I take my son. So it took me forever to go from $10 to $15 because it was just what I was doing. And then I was like, man, that's pretty bad. Let me get it at $15. And then breaking that routine got me to go from $15 to $20 real quick. But here's the thing, guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Absolutely not. I'm a Primos guy. I'm a five-star guy. That's all right. You can be a five-star guy. Tell me your price. I'm not going to tell you that. But what I'm going to tell you is... If I drop your name, if I say, hey...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Because everyone's like, I want the Tony price.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
But everybody's like, this guy's such a great billboard for my business. This guy goes out like, hey, your hair looks incredible. Where do you get your hair cut?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
This was a dude that shaved my head? Yes. Twice in 20 years. Terrible job. And you've mentioned it like five times. No, he nailed it. I was definitely bald. Just wasn't happy with the results.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Your boy came back, though. It allowed me to get some topical treatments on there and really attack the problem at its root. No doubt. What I kept telling myself is there are some people that when they shave it, it does come back stronger.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Yeah, you want to vet them through your guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
You don't have like a black tie event where you're like, I should probably.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
So you let the beard grow for a couple of days and then you shave it down?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
You raw dogged the electrical razor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Raw dogging. That is raw dogging.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
No, no, no, no. Right. No, but any topical treatments after the fact? No, I don't need it. You got to kind of do that. You get ingrown hairs and whatnot. Alcohol. Do I have any? Yeah. What? What do you mean, yeah?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Like, all across your neck, unless that's rosacea, which it might be the case.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
But it's along the neckline. Am I having a bad skin day? Like, there. You got some shaving bumps there, pal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
You can't call me a liar right here. He was saying that he didn't get ingrown hairs or shaving bumps. No, I do it all myself. Why don't you go full beard? He has over a dozen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Fat Joe has an incredible product. He's on the cover of it. He's on the cover of it. All right, so we'll get away from your hair and back to, look, sports equinox is happening. Niche sport equinox is happening, especially down here locally. We have ATP. We've got WTA. We've got Homestead Motor Speedway. But everyone's going to be pretty locked in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
on March Madness, even though the ratings down here are pretty bad historically. Always. We don't have a team, we don't have a horse in the race this year, but give me a March Madness set of the day to get me excited for what's on tap.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Yeah, you actually didn't really have to watch any of it. And you didn't, like, I know I didn't miss much. But I will be watching Omir. That's my guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
But you're saying the balance of things, it'll work out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Well, the Baylor game, they're a one-and-a-half-point dog, so it's an 8-9. Live doggy. Yeah, you got to think that that game will be close.

Another tournament that is kind of hit or miss so far is the March Sadness tournament, Chris.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
So March sadness polarizing again this year. I think most a lot of the feedback that I'm getting that's on the negative side is from exclusive podcast listeners. And I kind of get that because these are fan submitted videos and they're largely visual. You have the fan pointing and stuff. So we'll do a better job of trying to describe what's going on by not stepping on some folks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
But do we have any submissions today, Chris Cody?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
High production quality there for 16th. That's not the way that a 1 versus 16 should go. That's a tough break. When it's a 1 versus 16, I should never ask, who's the 1 seed? I mean, it was a good limited fake.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Yeah, in retrospect, very confused as to why Dan didn't talk about the Jackie Robinson story.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Jeremy, not only do you tickle the keys. Good for you. You tickle other things, I learned yesterday. Relax. But part of your duties here, your ambiguous, amorphous duties here is occasionally you invoke your musical talent. And you had a song ready for Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
We all knew that Dan was going to go to Jackie Robinson. And then he didn't. And then he didn't. So we never got to play this song. It's amazing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
I mean, that's an earworm. Ah, come on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
It just means black. I'm really proud of you right there. Again, we got March Madness today. Hopefully we turned things around. It was a tough day for those that were following the ACC and listened to our agenda here on the...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Because this discriminated against whom? Jackie Robinson or... White people. That's where it kind of feels like.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Well, I mean, with Jackie Robinson, yes. Right? He broke the color barrier. He was a great player, but also he was the first to break the color barrier because he was a great player, but that was a big deal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Some of my best friends are Jackie Robinson. I went to a Jackie Robinson wedding once.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
I'd be curious if there was a Ted Williams story that remained up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
It's like a huge part of their marketing campaign is... We used to have to draft people. I know that there were wars going around, but historically, not easy to recruit there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
So there was a story that I was actually pretty fired up about yesterday. It was like the topic du jour, and we didn't actually get around to it. I was stunned. I can't believe it. It's the Dan Lebitard Show with Stu Gatz, and Dan didn't want to talk about the Jackie Robinson story. It was on a T-form. This one's easy, folks. If you asked AI...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Okay. I know Zaz says I get what they're trying to say there. And I guess I kind of, too, like the spin on it, right? But to ignore race is to ignore a pretty big connection point. Your job is to recruit. Ultimately, all these branches of the military are actively trying to recruit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
people to join and race is a connection point for a lot of people jackie robinson's story might resonate with people that you're actively trying to recruit they may be black they may be latino they may be white but it is a story that resonates in part because he was a dude that broke the color barrier to ignore that fact works against your best interest if you're actively trying to recruit people you know who it doesn't resonate with robert griffin iii
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
So Stephen A. Smith did like a six. minute thing on this on first take you can have your opinions on that but that didn't really get aggregated all that much but Dov Kleinman is calling for Mina Kimes to get fired because she did like the easiest take on this with her around the horn victory time her face time there it was weird they went at Mina and
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
And I understand why they go, Mina, they have algorithms for this stuff. They know who does numbers. But they ignore the dude that apparently can talk about, well, not apparently, negotiated in his contract. He can talk about politics with full autonomy over there. Is it possible that's why they didn't, you know? No, no. No, it's not because they go at Mina because Mina does numbers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
It's like if you check Breitbart, they still post about Megan Rapinoe occasionally because they know what gets traction over there. Mina Kimes does numbers, invoking her name and calling this amorphous account because it's not a real person anymore. But they can't actually say it's not a real person anymore because that goes against Twitter's rules because a guy can't just sell his account.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
bot essentially that has a whole bunch of different people working aggregator essentially calling no well doing the cute calling should mina kimes be fired question mark as some people are saying this and it's overly ridiculous and it's totally unfair and i hope that people dunk on dove the way that that mina did but to the robert griffin the third point is this is a sports story
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Jackie Robinson is one of the first names that comes to mind when you want to talk about sports. Jackie Robinson did sports. He did nothing yesterday. His legacy was just existing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Well, that's not what that means anymore. They changed it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Wait, wait. Jeremy, I feel as passionately about this as you do. But I do want to try to... keep it to sports a little bit in that sports was just doing sports. Sports was, in this instance, just minding its own business. It's just minding its own business and sports realized, hey, there's sports that's being removed. Why is sports being removed?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Politics comes over and grabs sports and it's not the other way around. And trust me, It's hugely frustrating because the same people that tout that line, and I don't know if Robert Griffin III has expressed this before, but I'm watching the Daytona 500 and I'm seeing Donald Trump fly in and take several laps. several laps around the Daytona Motor Speedway.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
What was the hallmark of a good show? Homework of a good show. I have good things that I needed to get to and he didn't get to. A Jackie Robinson race and sports story. A politics story. Well, Blaney was great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
And I can't exactly keep politics out of sports there, can I?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Yeah, there's a lot of times where politics gravitate to sports to lift it up. Look, Donald Trump essentially helped. One of the big issues that Donald Trump campaigned on and was successful on and found general consensus even across the aisle was, That trans swimmer, that's bad. We can't have guys playing in girls' sports. This is the line.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
And while that is crude, there is general consensus on this topic, even amongst liberals. It is a winning position. So they come to sports all the time to grab their winning positions. All the time. Sports has actively been trying to stay out of politics. Hell, even this show has, kind of. Like, we know. We know that you don't like it. So sports is sportsin'.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
When politics comes over and grabs sports, sports has a right to clap back, especially on something like this, which is so easy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
And also, there are people that are still defending its removal because they've just decided to commit to the party line when the party itself has come out and said, my bad. My bad. We got that one wrong. It might have even been a mistake.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
No, it's not. This is what they do, man. There have been lives. I was at a town hall last week, and there was a marine biologist for NOAA that got fired, and her supervisor didn't know about it. She got a crude letter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
I really enjoyed that interview. While this is an easy topic for Dana and the rare winning position where the intersection of sports and politics meet... Ryan Blaney was great. He was terrific.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
and it wasn't even signed did not know who fired her winter the superior this is a worker that had hit all our marks even got even attained a bonus because she was so superlative at her job her supervisor didn't know about this i believe there was another uh scientist that worked on hurricanes that had actually gotten fired in a similar fashion then rehired and then a day later fired again all of this is messy it's like they're literally typing in they're taking inventory
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
of what could be lumped into DEI. And that is about as crude as it can get. Jackie Robinson, black guy, DEI. And they're just typing that in and eliminating things. And they're doing this with people's lives and jobs. And they're just typing in these things into a big machine and just crudely cutting things out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
And people like Jeff Passan and all these other journalists need to keep catching these things, especially things like that. That's a good day for journalism yesterday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Very rare. It was a good day for sports. And this was something I think everybody can kind of get behind. Jackie Robinson, to quote the great Jonathan Zaslow, awesome. Awesome. This one's easy. They admitted hours later. They got it wrong. Why is this a hill to die on still?

Hey everybody, it's Mike Ryan, and how great is this weather? We're getting out of the coldest part of winter into the early onstage spring. I know down south, the weather is perfect.

Stugatz. He gives them one of these, and he gives them one of those. This is the Don Levitas Show with the Stugatz. So you had date night, which means you, I guess, luckily didn't watch any of the tournament games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Last year, we ran into this, too, especially with the first two rounds. We kept waiting for those moments, and then we had to wait a little bit later.

They might make it all the way back here. I was happy as someone sitting on Clemson Live plus 12 and a half. But Stripes also kind of played a role in that, too. They were letting them play there a little bit.

I'm going to be so bad at helping you out here. This is the first year I haven't filled out a bracket.

Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
It wasn't a great day for the ACC. Creighton, another secret sauce. I know you just did the dismissive, huh, Jeremy? We do this every month. I guarantee you there's going to be an ACC team in that Final Four. There always is. We're going to look at the lay of the land.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
The SEC teams will end up cannibalizing each other, and then we'll realize that the narrative is... Look, NC State made it, and they were crazy. crap last year. They made it to the Final Four as an ACC team. Miami was waving the banner. Speaking of Miami, I am locked in at 12-15.

So Zazz, you mentioned you had a date night. What'd you do?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I've long maintained he kind of went at a good time. He died at a good time. Yeah, I'm telling you. You mean for him? Advantageous for him. Yeah, look, in retrospect, good way to go out. Good time to go out. That was before a lot of stuff. Like, it was percolating again. People forget.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
So that's the elephant in the room? Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Well, that's how you get approved by the estate, right? That's how you gotta go about things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Yeah. The way that I usually handle this, because if you try to... It's like whack-a-mole. If you try to die on a certain hill morally when it comes to music, you don't even know where half of your hypocrisies are. Especially...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I mean, I guess you could say Diddy now, probably. I bet you Diddy's like, well, looking at Michael Jackson being like, he never had to deal with this. I mean, he dealt with some of this, but he never had to deal with it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Yeah, but Diddy's also being accused of that, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
It's all over the place. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I don't request the songs. I don't play them on touch tunes. But if it's on, you know, don't stop until you get enough. I still haven't gotten enough. The wide pervy net, the worst of all the nets. Yes. Well, Brooklyn, pretty terrible. It hasn't worked out for that franchise since they moved, no doubt. But pervy net is worse than Brooklyn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
No, you don't, and I'm not here. I was just curious because the way that I govern it, I'm a huge Bowie guy. He's got some stuff. I'm a huge Prince guy. He's got some stuff. I think there is something to be said for a sheer magnitude. Like with Deshaun Watson, I was rooting on teams that had players that had some – some of that stuff surrounding them. Like Kareem Hunt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
All right, so I have a couple questions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
When Kareem Hunt scored a touchdown, I was like, yay, go Browns. When they acquired Deshaun Watson, I was like, I'm out. That's very tough. There is a sheer magnitude to it that is just unavoidable. But the way that I go about it is, I don't think I feel like listening to Diddy today. I don't think I feel like listening to Ryan Adams today. I still listen to Bowie.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
So where are my conflicts out here? And it's not a black and white issue. It's very difficult. Don't matter if you're black or white.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
but here like kanye i don't feel like you're on a kanye and i kanye was one of my favorite artists of all time why what happened with kanye i have so many yeezys in my closet and it's just like he dropped bully by the way they're so comfortable too yeezys damn i love the way that the shoe looked in joggers and i'm like i think i just got to throw them out at this point remember like he was starting like he got what size you hold on what size you
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
What size are you? Adidas school, as you know. I don't know why I'm waiting so long. I'll probably donate them, have them go to a good cause. But I can imagine someone's like, I can't do this. It's bad for my brand.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Bad for the brand. But he's cooked. He's cooked. But if I hear power, if someone's coming up to bat and they use power in the background, I'm like, interesting choice, but this will forever slap. I'll be clapping along. It's just tough. It's hard because of his mental illness and because of like how different he is now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I think it's almost easier to silo away like, oh, before he lost his mind, like the college dropout, I miss the old Connie became a meme. And people have such a relationship with some of that older music that I get why it's hard for people to disassociate their love and what they felt in that era of music.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
And you're like, oh, what do we do? His fingerprints were across, like, 25 years of hip hop, not just as a rapper, but when it comes to production, where do you draw the line? Like, I'm going to stop listening to Jay-Z now. I'm going to stop listening to Kanye Produce tracks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
So the first question that I have is, were you able to avoid any spoilers?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I mean, Osama Bin Laden's attorney was like, I can't do this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I think a lot of people find that line. I think a lot of people are having such a difficult time trying to think for themselves on this one that they welcome someone doing the thinking for them. And look, the book's name in terms of sanctimony is called How to Be Perfect, where they try to work through all of these scenarios. And I didn't actually...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I've kind of pieced together, because I've heard a lot of podcasts on this, and I kind of pieced together. For me, it's just, what do I feel like listening to? There will probably be a day where I want to listen to Ryan Adams. It hasn't quite happened yet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Summer of 69 is a banger. I was like, what did he do? I haven't seen anything about Brian Adams. Heaven, that song that he did for John 1 DeMarco.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I'm listening to music podcasts. Oh, gotcha. Also, the Ryan Adams thing, it's probably unfair to lump him in with all these other names.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Well, Ryan Adams was, first and foremost, an asshole, and then accused of grooming, and there were think pieces written on him. He used to be married to Mandy Moore, I think, and she had some not-so-nice things to say about him. Allegedly. Allegedly. Everyone kind of knew that Ryan Adams was a jerk.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
In fact, there's this great book on the early 2000s rock scene called Meet Me in the Bathroom, that whole early 2000s alt-rock scene that was born out of New York. And this was before Ryan Adams got canceled. Basically, everyone, all these addicts just putting all their problems on Ryan Adams. He was the foil of the book, and I kind of felt bad for him there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
It's like, okay, this is very clearly the Strokes narrative. They're not taking any ownership of their own actions anymore. Ryan Adams was like, what the hell? I just opened a door, and this guy was asking me for heroin. I guess it's my fault, too, right? So I did kind of feel bad for him, and then all the other stuff came out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
This is the most Ryan Adams talk that's ever happened on a sports podcast. Again, Summer of 69, we're good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Brian Adams. Different Adams, not related. One of them's a Canadian. Brian had to be like, oh, come on. Come on, Ryan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
We're in this together a little bit. Brian Adams has always mattered way more. Brian Adams today mattered more than Ryan Adams on his best day.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
There is a huge Slater scoop. Locally, people know what that means. But this one was shocking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
It's well chronicled in this show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
There's no way Roy didn't see it. I missed it. What happened? WSVN. Oh! Oh, yes. WSVN is going to become an ABC affiliate.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
It was going on during SNL, and at midnight they switched, I believe. F.O.R. was... F.O.R.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Yeah, and they switched places. Yep. It was a big deal. But locally in this market, the FOR, the CBS affiliate, and the NBC affiliate are O&Os, owned and operated by the network. So those will never flip unless there's a sale of some sort. So this leaves PLG in a precarious situation. You would assume that— Well, it's a situation they chose, by the way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
So what is PLG going to do? I don't know. Because right now SVN is going to be both Fox and ABC.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Locally, there's like two CWs now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
This is a huge problem when it comes to the local channels and streaming. But let me put everyone at ease. We will still have Will Manso. Oh, thank God. Actually, can someone text Will Manso? Because I have questions about what this means for us locally.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
They're going to be like Whammy on Miami. I know I'm dating myself with that, but Whammy was trying to sprout out in the network game as an independent, get all these talk shows that were available for syndication. Neil Rogers had his show simulcast on Whammy on Miami. And they actually had local sports rights, too. They had the Marlins and they had the Miami Heat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Sports sound. Jonesy. Do you remember sports sound? Absolutely. Yeah, during the NBA lockout, they had to chain up the basketball court that was behind them. I loved Whammy on Miami, Whammy Kids. That's where you got your Fox afternoon cartoons on the weekdays. What am I asking, Will? What is going to become of WPLG? What's the move here? From a programming standpoint, what's on primetime on PLG?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Dude, are they going to make a play for local sports? You probably can't say that. He's probably got some conflicts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Yeah, no doubt. They would have been a player on the Panthers. But I'm just curious that the decision for WPLG, a legacy channel, a channel that matters down here, to make the decision, we're not going to be affiliated with a network anymore. And it's a pretty big network. ABC, they got a lot of big stuff. ABC, good channel. ABC, good channel.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
So you fast forward through commercials. Yeah, of course. But you watch everything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
ESPN's getting a Super Bowl, which will be simulcast on network ABC. That is a decision that PLG made.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
So you started your morning with a 0-0.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Yeah, I know that this show has national appeal. This is more locally geared. We have a local icon here, a local luminary in Jonathan Zaslow. And I'm curious what the... I am curious at what the strategy is for PLG going forward. Do they lean hyper-local? Because there's still a place. People channel surf and watch conventional networks. Dude, you put on a fishing show and somebody will watch it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I'm being told they're keeping Jeopardy. All right. Good job.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Wait a second. Can we be on PLG? Let's just lean hard local because I'm more inclined to watch PLG if they're like, hey, we ditched a network. We're here for you. I'm turning away from the news plaque.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
That third period, the goalies stood on their head.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
It was great. You had the controversy with Jenner kicking in the goal. That wasn't controversial.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Look, it's always controversial when a goal gets removed off the board. But it was letter of the law, plain as day, that that was an easy call to make and the right call. But they go into the overtime with a four-on-three advantage. Huge. Which, Roy, I...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Can't do that. It's cheating too. The four on three is like the most difficult penalty to kill, right? It has to be. When you start overtime on three, I know that there's five on three penalties, but for whatever reason, if you go up a man in that five-minute overtime session, it's pretty much lights out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
There's this fascinating stat that got chucked into our hockey chat yesterday that – There are 776 fewer power plays called this season at this point in the season than last.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Well, one of the prevailing theories is that teams have gotten so good on the power play, this season in particular, that it is such an advantage that... So teams are being more careful and not taking penalties? Well, one argument could be teams are playing cleaner. But the other argument is the referees are taking note that giving a power play is... essentially gives another team a goal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
So they're being judicious, more judicious when they call these things because it is such a huge advantage.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Yeah, they've been calling fewer penalties. And I think the Florida Panthers, because they're reigning defending Stanley Cup champions, they're playing a lot of games that have playoff-like atmospheres. Yeah, you're getting everyone's best punch every night. And the refs, they swallow the whistle in these games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Oh my god, I popped for that. There are local Zaslow marks in this market that remember hearing that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
But if we are indeed in a new era of the NHL where the stripes are swallowing the whistle some, that benefits the Florida Panthers who are an excellent 5-on-5 team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
You know he's also third in hits all time? Yeah. He's just a remarkable player. He's a bowling ball.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Well, he's about to be, at least for one of the more important aspects of the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Well, his nickname is not The Great One, but it is Alexander the Great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I had to drag it out of you. You had a morning.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Toronto within striking distance.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Thankfully, there's been a recent dip in form, but they got that one, a comeback victory against Toronto. One last Panther topic before we move on, and the reason why we're starting with Panthers is because He just watched a game this morning. I'm in a great mood.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
They're defending the Stanley Cup champions, and March Madness is March Badness. We keep trying to tell you this. It's not a good tournament. There's individual moments, but especially when the secret sauce, Tony, ain't coming through. There was secret sauce in a couple different games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Got to get a Norman Osborn hairline in there. A Jimmer for that. Yeah, Jimmer. You need the secret sauce. Roy, your thoughts? Greg Paulus.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Well, it's because you're waiting for the secret sauce.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
We'll get to March Madness in a second, but I do want to... button one thing up on the Florida Panthers because I think you kind of got my ass yesterday on the Brad Marchand thing. I got that ass. You got that ass. You got it. If the people in the locker room are okay with it, I got to be okay with it too. Right. But I'm also an emotional fan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I'm not getting paid by the organization to make this work. I see his stupid face, and it conjures up all sorts of emotions, and it's going to be difficult to deprogram myself for that. He may have good moments in that redshirt. That would help. That would certainly help. But I also think he's incredibly overrated at this point in his career. I know he's a great playoff performer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I mean, at 36 years old, so good. People got to get the numbers on that team. Pasternak's got to get the numbers on that team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Florida is way more loaded than Boston and I look at what my preference is I think on merit you could argue and it's not going to be the case he didn't come here to be a third liner but I think on merit you could argue Brad Marchand talent wise at this point in his career would be a third liner it's all about fit and where you want him I do kind of want to see the Bennett Kachuk thing just laugh at everybody because people are going to hate that line but Roy are you with me on this uh no he's going to be straight up on the second line and that line is going to be uh
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I understand he's going to be on the second line.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
At this stage in his career, if you tell me in a vacuum, who would you like to see hit the ice a little bit more? Mackey or Brad Marchand? Mackey. I'd like to see Mackey more. I think he's far more effective. I think there's probably an argument to be made for Verhage, which I'm starting to regret that contract a little bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
It's probably not the same. We've probably seen the best of Carter Verhage. I mean, that's not a hot take, but it's certainly something I'm concerned about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
All right. Well, let me ask you this. If you're a noted Heat fan, one of the most famous and celebrated Miami Heat fans in the nation, your face is first up on celebrity pics on ESPN.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Yep. So you are a Heat fan of repute. Let's say Alan Houston came to town and wore a Miami Heat uniform. You think he'd ever warm up to that? If Jamal Mashburn's cool with it, I'm cool with it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
First night of the tournament, though?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I always maintain... was always rooting against Kyle Lowry. Always. I did not like that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
What are your thoughts on foreplay?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
It's the truth. That is the truth.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Yeah, right. And credit to me. I'll tell it to his face. He knows that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
How about Paul George? Who's in the Pantheon? I mean, Paul George isn't really... Charlie Ward? Charlie Ward was hitting me on multiple levels. I hated Charlie Ward so much because he cooked Miami as a quarterback at FSU.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Put it on the poll. For Miami fans, is there a special place in hell for Charlie Ward?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I mean, it is what it is. But you also need to fight against certain allegations and confidently stand your ground.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
That's a situation where the locker room wasn't okay with the player in there. Zoe and Larry Johnson hated each other famously when they were both Charlotte Hornets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
So if Zoe tells you you can hate on Larry Johnson all you want, you'll never find yourself getting out of your seat. I still boo Zoe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Boo Zoe? I will never let that go. You know what he did. He knows what he did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Zoe Summergroove. Everybody knows. He and Mackenzie Wieger both know what they did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Well, Jeremy, I'm proud of you.

GBF- Bracket Bonanza
The Bengals, at the very least next year, they'll be fun. They'll have to score 50 to win every game, but they'll be fun.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Their whole problem last year was they couldn't protect C.J. Stroud, and then all they did was get rid of their two best linemen and sign a one-year stopgap at left tackle. So I just don't see the Texans having a good year. C.J. Stroud is going to develop the yips if he's getting hit on every play. Okay. Here's my question for brackets bonanza.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I love that about this. I love that about this. Then I'm going to the chargers at five chargers at five.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I kind of like the Broncos. I like the Broncos. And I'd probably say just because of the great unknown, probably the Steelers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I'm going to go off board a little bit. I'm going to throw it. I just want to throw it out there. I'm not saying it should be. I'm just throwing it out there. The Patriots. Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I mean, it's hard to say. It's hard to go against the Eagles. They lost their third de-tackle, their second de-tackle. They've still got, like, a lot of draft capital. They made some good moves. I'm going to say that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I have them borderline in. I have them as a seven. I have them as a seven.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Bears. Bears? I think I have the Packers a little high, to be honest.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
No, not at three. You still got Tampa Bay, and Baker Mayfield will always have my heart. And the Vikings are still going to be okay, I think.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Can I do something real quick? Everybody's so low on the Vikings, but then everybody almost hated Sam Darnold. So now they get rid of Sam Darnold, and then we hold it against the Vikings, even though nobody thought that Sam Darnold was that great. Right? Am I wrong?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Give the Rams the six. I want the Rams in there. I'm an L.A. guy. Put the Rams in. And then I'll let Fuentes pick the NFC North team he wants. I'm telling you, the Rams, I love a Devontae Adams signing. I think you're going to see a really good year from them next year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
No, I just don't understand. Nobody likes Sam Darnold there. He wins 14 games. Then they get rid of Sam Darnold, and then we still don't like the Vikings. So they got rid of the part that nobody liked, and then this guy's supposed to be better. I don't know. It's weird. How dare you, sir?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
He is an L.A. guy. Yeah, but the Chargers offense isn't that great, but then the Bengals defense isn't that great. Yeah, it sucks. I'm going to go Chargers. Their defense is better.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Ravens. I'm going Broncos. Wow. I'm going Broncos too. Broncos it is. Baltimore in the playoffs, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Baltimore in the playoffs. The leaving bow. Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
You hated that I got the Patriots in there, didn't you, Fuentes? You hated that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
guy. Big Rams. Big on the Rams. Let's go. Big on the Bucs. Big on the Bucs. You know what? I was surprised, Mikey, now that you said that. I'm surprised they re-signed Godwin. I thought he was for sure done there after the injuries and how much he was going to cost. I'm surprised that they brought him back. He's a great player. Don't get me wrong.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I just didn't think they were going to, yeah, like the money-wise and stuff like that. So it's on you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
It's funny how you say he can have a Baker game, and yet that goes both ways.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Yeah, they're the higher seed, yeah. Give me the commanders.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Jaden Daniels continues ascending. Debo Smith, huge game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I love that matchup. Oh, man, I love that matchup. Give me the upset. Give me the upset. Give me the Chargers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I don't trust Herbert. Do it. No, I don't trust Herbert.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Yeah. I mean, the only person he can't beat is Mahomes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Let's just say you trust the Bills. I'm going to take Josh. He just sold it for me. I'm going to take Josh Allen over Justin Herbert every time. So there you go. Yeah, I went Bills too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I tried. I tried. You were very enthusiastic. Number six Broncos against the number two Chiefs. Number two Chiefs. The Chiefs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I know, but I can't go Josh Allen over Justin Herbert and then be like, oh, yeah, Bo Nix over Mahomes. That makes sense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I'm going to go the upset again. I'm going to go the upset again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Super Bowl, Super Bowl, like too many playoff games for too long. Bears need it. They got a change of everything. They got a brand new offense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Yeah. They can stop the tush push. Yes, and I'm going to say Stugatz was right, but one year late, and the Bears are going to the big game. Nice! The Jets make it? Yes. Bears. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Go ahead, Fuentes. I'll give you the first shot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Okay, I'm going to say the Bears because the ultimate conflict, Bear Down Billy versus Chiefs Kingdom Billy in the Super Bowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Exactly what you do to Stu Gods every week. Making him be the deciding vote.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I might pick completely different teams next week just because I was kind of shooting from the hip. Maybe next week I think it out a little bit, and I'm like, oh, you know what? I do like this matchup better.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Billy, are we going to go out in Nashville? Are we going to go line dancing or something? Are we going to go get crazy?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
There are honky-tonks. There are good honky-tonks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I very much like Nashville. Keep it on the down low. We don't want too many people hanging out. That's a good point. We're going to go get some Hattie B's Nashville hot chicken. Okay. We're going to do some of that. A little honky tonk. Walk down Broadway. Maybe buy myself a ridiculously expensive cowboy hat or a pair of cowboy boots. Maybe both. Who knows?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I was going to say, maybe we could expense a nice hat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Question though, Billy. Yeah. Who's this segment brought to us by?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Yeah, this is the best time of the NFL. Some people say it's opening weekend. Some people say it's the playoffs or the draft. Nope, it's rule proposal time. That's the best time of the NFL season or offseason. So with that in mind, there is a proposal made by the Green Bay Packers right now to essentially ban the tush push. Billy Gill, will it pass?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Fuentes? I agree. I think the year where you propose getting rid of it is the year that the team that does it the best wins the Super Bowl. It's probably not the best way to go about it because now it just sounds like you're crying over spilled milk. Sour grapes? Yeah, sour grapes. So probably not the best time, but like Billy said –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
If they didn't do it the year before or the year before that, they're probably not going to do it this year either. Is it boring? Do I not like it? Yeah, I don't like it at all. I think it is boring. I think it kills the flow of the game, but at the same time, It's football, and it's guys running into each other, and they do it really well, and they're just going to take advantage of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
And there's also going to be a moment in time where they may not be as good at it. So I just don't see it going anywhere.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Like, what happened here now? It keeps offenses on the field. It puts more points up. I think everybody hates it, but they will never get rid of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Okay, the next one is proposed by the Detroit Lions, and you can see why they would propose this after last year, where essentially they would do new seating system for the playoffs, and everybody would be seated based on their record, not whether they won the division or not. Now, the division winners would still get in. However, once you're in, you're seated based solely on your record.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Fuentes, will it pass? No, I think the NFL wants divisions to mean something. So if they don't get the home playoff game, then you totally strip that away because then really who cares? You just got to get a good record. I mean, no, I don't think it passes. They've been doing it this way for a long time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
And yes, it does suck when you get a 7-9 Seattle team hosting a 12-win New Orleans team, which as we all know is the beast mode run. But yeah, I just don't see it passing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Another proposal by the Eagles. Essentially marrying the playoff overtime rules with the regular season overtime rules so that both teams will get a possession in overtime, regardless of if it's in the playoffs or in the regular season. Mike Fuentes. Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Will it pass? This one should pass, but I don't know if it will. I can't really think of a reasoning. I mean, why not?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
It's making players play more football. But as we know, the Players Association isn't going to like that. So, I don't know. I'm going to say... They always get what they want? Also true. But I just... I would like it. Obviously, like you said, it's more football for us. I mean, they already got the two extra games during the season, so... you know what, I've been so negative, it will pass.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
One more quick one? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because this one's funny for me because the Pittsburgh Steelers are the one proposing this. The Pittsburgh Steelers are proposing a resolution that allows teams to have some contact with pending free agents in that legal tampering window. Right now, they're only allowed to talk to their agents.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
But I imagine after this year, the Steelers would have liked to have known a certain player's intentions prior to making the moves that they did. So my question for you, Billy Gill, is will it pass?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Fuentes, will it pass? Be quick now. Yeah, I'm going to say yes. I'm going to say yes because it's so true what Billy says. Like, yeah, because we all know negotiations with lawyers and contracts, you just sit down at a table and 10 minutes later it's done. So, yeah, it's going to pass.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
All right, guys, join us next year or never for another edition of Will It Pass? Wow, Will It Pass? Coming up next.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
This is easy for me. Number one was easily Bracket's Bonanza. Yes. Yeah, that was number one. Number two, I think, is a solid Will It Pass?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
And then here's a headline, is probably third. Not because it was bad, just because it didn't have any pizzazz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Uh, no, because I can't say that I really like brackets Bonanza. I just wish it would have been extended because then we would have had the chance for like a really big upset. Like would have had like the rate. Oh, so you want bills? You want, yeah, you want the full correct.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I don't hate this. I don't hate this for next week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Yes, I want to see if the 5 and 12 Panthers can somehow find a way to take down the 11 and 6 Packers. Can they? I don't see it. Can they find the will? Can they get hot? One game scenario.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
In fact, yes, we'll actually have to put some thought into it. Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
It sounds like everybody is learning what the Aaron Rodgers at the end of his Green Bay tenure was like, which is a whole lot of wishy-washy. It's a whole lot of maybe, I don't know. We didn't get this. As bad as the play was on the field, we didn't get this with the Jets. He was always in. He was always all in. And...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
All right, let's start with some breaking news from, I guess it would be yesterday if you're listening to this on Friday. More likely to be a better investment, the $6.05 billion that the new owners paid for the Washington Commanders or the $6.1 billion that was just paid to buy the Celtics. Better investment, a middle-of-the-road football team or the best NBA team? Relatively speaking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Yeah, I'm going to agree with Billy, mainly because the Commanders are like a historic NFL franchise. They have a lot of like the Gibbs era, all that stuff, very long tradition with the Commanders.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
So even like maybe I would say there'd be a little bit of an argument if it was like the Jacksonville Jaguars or like a lower tier franchise of the NFL because obviously the Boston Celtics are one of two premier franchises of the NBA. But just the way football is just a juggernaut in this country when it comes to sports entertainment, I'm going to say the Commanders.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
All right. Put you on the spot. How many NFL teams would you put the Celtics as more valuable then?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Oh, wow. That's a good question. I'll give you the Los Angeles Chargers. Even though it's LA? Even though it's that market? That's the only...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
like saving grace because the san diego chargers were you know not a great looking franchise for a long time then i'd say the jackson jaguars i'd probably say tennessee titans um let's see uh panthers uh the carolina panthers yes um i wouldn't say the browns just because they've been around forever um let me see who else here panthers and maybe the falcons Broncos?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
No, Broncos have a big tradition. That's it. That's it, really. So maybe four or five. Really? Yeah. Hmm.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
All right. Interesting. Here's another interesting one for you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Did you say the Cardinals? No, I didn't, but I'd probably throw them in there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Yeah, we got to do that again. All right. More Mike Lee to be the position taken first in the NFL draft out of these positions. Wide receiver, tight end, running back. This is shocking to me because I think there's an obvious. Oh, you have like extra actual data or just your opinion? No, I just, who do you think this year is more likely to be taken first in this draft class in this draft?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
This is probably just as frustrating because if you're a Steelers fan right now, what are your other options? You burn the bridge with Russell Wilson. There is no other quarterback that can possibly... Possibly make you a decent contender right now. It's not me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Because every other year you'd say it's an, it's, it's an easy one. It's this, it's this position, but this year I think it's the, the one that you would take last.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Yeah, it's either Austin Gentry or Warren, right? Ashton. Yeah, Ashton. So it's those two guys. Those are the two ones because I can't think of a wide receiver that's great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
McMillan is the best wide – now, here's the other question. Do you count Travis Hunter as a wide receiver? Ah, you're cheating. Oh. I don't think so. I think he's a corner. I'm going to say Warren. I'm going to go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
staying with the draft more Mike Lee to be an NFL bust Shador Sanders or KM Ward man this is okay we don't know where they go yet so the answer if they both fail
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I'm going to do this analysis assuming that they both get drafted by the Titans. So that way they're in the same situation because the Titan situation is really bad. Can we all agree on that? So it just by the way, you know, it's, it's, it's, you know, it's in the numbers. If Shador goes after cam, he's going to be on a better team, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Well, listen, Jameis Winston with DK Metcalf and George Pickens might be the – like I would watch Hard Knocks every episode if they just followed them around. Like all I want is that. So if you're a Steelers fan, I don't know what your other option is but to sit around and wait for Aaron Rodgers to decide whether or not he wants to come.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Not loads better, but it should be a better team because they're drafting later. Um, in terms of personality, I think Billy's kind of hitting it on the head. There's people that out there that are, that want Shador Sanders to fail more just because of who his dad is and all the hype in Colorado and all that stuff, which is unfair. Um,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
But who I think is going to be more likely to be a bust is probably going to be Shador, I would say. But I don't know. The Titans are so bad. I don't know if Cam can really flourish there. I think they're both kind of in a losing proposition.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Interesting follow-up. Who was a bigger bust, Jameis Winston or Marcus Mariota? They were taking one-two. I feel like we could be looking at a very similar situation eight, ten years from now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I would say Mariota was a bigger bust, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
But drive for your life tomorrow, you'd rather have Jameis than Marcus Mariota, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Yeah, if I need a drive from one of them, I'd much rather put Jameis in there than Marcus Mariota. Even though Marcus Mariota's been solid, he's only been solid as a backup. You could consider Jameis a very low-tier starter, but you still consider him a starter more than Mariota is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
More Mike Lee to make the playoffs in their first season as head coach with their new team. Mike Vrabel with the Patriots or Liam Cohen with the Jaguars?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I'm going to say, what's the other guy's name? Cohen? Liam Cohen. Yeah, Liam Cohen, just because it's a lot easier to win the AFC South than the AFC East.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I mean, you do because you don't have another option. Yeah. Your other option is Mason Rudolph. And like, you know, thanks, but I'd rather just wait this out.

I do. There is a certain quarterback who is flying up draft boards right now. Mel Kiper has Jackson Dart out of Ole Miss going 12th to the Saints. This is the highest I've seen him picked. And... I think it's absolutely bonkers for Mel to even consider the Saints taking a quarterback right now, let alone Jackson Dart, who might not be a second-round pick talent-wise.

It was so much better. I'm ready to go now.

But they are committed next year to Derek Carr for a $69 million cap hit. You cannot be drafting your quarterback of the future with that price tag waiting for next year. You can't do it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
There's no point in paying and there's no getting out of the Derek Carr because what you kept doing was you kept pushing the cap it and pushing the cap it until eventually it's all going to come to a head next year with $69 million. And I just don't see how you can take a quarterback and do anything other than bench him for two years. Then why take it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Stugatz stuff. That's okay. It's okay to fake it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Why not wait till next year and see what else you can get?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
So I think when they drafted Michael Penix, they knew that going into this draft class, it was not going to be a very good draft class. So they wanted to make sure while they had an opportunity to get a guy, they could. They were also a little worried about Michael Penix's medicals. He had a lot of injuries in college, so they wanted him to sit and to – and to learn a little bit.

At the end of 2026, the Falcons can get out of the Kirk Cousins business for $45 million. I realize that's still a big hit, but it's not almost $70 million. Like $70 million is an entire defensive line if you play your cards right. So I think it's a little bit, they're a little similar, but the Falcons thought they were going to need Kirk Cousins longer than they do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I don't see how the Giants pass on a quarterback. The question becomes, do the Giants move up to one for Cam Ward? I mean, I'm sure there's still some questions in Tennessee if they're going to take the quarterback. They could take Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter and run it back one year with Will Levis, but I don't see how Shador goes past the Giants, especially if Cam Ward goes number one overall.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I don't I mean, I don't see it. I don't see Will Levis having this redemption tour because I just don't think he's that good. I think he he can't get out of his own way. I think Will Levis is much more likely to go the Jameis Winston tour where it's like he's going to come. He's going to go back somebody up. He's going to come in. He could be like, oh, yeah, that guy. He's so good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
Make no mistake about it. The number one quarterback I wanted for the New York Jets going into this offseason was Jameis Winston. That was who I wanted because I figured if we're going to be bad, we might as well be entertaining. And Jameis has got all the talent in the world. He just has to get out of his own way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
I just said football because you said football. Okay, good. By the way –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
And they're going to trade their one player on defense that was worth anything because they paid their wide receivers and their quarterback all of the money. All of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Bracket Bonanza
You're excited about this. You have been since I saw the light bulb pop on just before we started recording, and you're like, I have an idea.

Well, I mean, the Chiefs were 15-2 this year.

I'm going to say the Chiefs got to be the two seed. Mikey can have an opinion. Just out of respect, the Chiefs got to be the two seed, right?

That was going to be my question. Do they get Aaron Rodgers?

Right, but we didn't have the think tank that we used to. No. And while Dan and I were getting closer during this time, how could you not? We needed each other, and we both needed work. You're watching 80s wrestling together. That is the ultimate way to bond. Come on. Like... With confetti penises all around. All around. I mean, jeez. I do kind of miss it. Jealous now. I do kind of miss it.

I'm very sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Yes, I know. What, my mom? Yeah, we had nothing to do with that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
God bless Zoom because initially it was Skype and nobody knew how to work that damn thing. Oh my gosh. Every legacy media personality struggling to get on the show with us. We had one engineer over at Bristol. We had initially no way of getting the shipping container involved.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
And then we discovered Zoom and the way to get the shipping container, which was hugely important to Dan because our audience wanted to hear from Billy, Chris, Roy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
And so did Dan. Dan needed the outlet, too. He needed the fountains of content. Mm-hmm.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
and the only way that we can get them on the air because we only had so many ip devices at espn radio they weren't going to justify sending chris cody billy and roy an ip device so the only way that we could do this was through the teleconference app and there was no way or at least espn hadn't figured out a way to patch that through the board certainly not without a delay so what we would do is we would have a central zoom hub that would be on my laptop dan could finally see you guys and try to get the timing down but if he wanted to talk to members of the shipping container i would take my headphones off all
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
I remember. And I would put the microphone to my MacBook speaker. And that is how we got the voices of the shipping container involved. I couldn't hear the show at this point when it was like, I couldn't hear what was going on. If Bristol was trying to talk to me, my headphones were very dangerous for us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Yeah. That's how we did it for a good month and a half.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Stugatz. There's plenty of fun. Stugatz. Oh, I enjoyed it. You never watched WrestleMania 10. I had a blast. I'm telling you. I mean. You didn't have to commute. I know. I was living my dream. And I had no traffic when I was commuting. I was working out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
You are all those things, actually. And I think most of all, you're uninformed because there are only so many of those devices at ESPN Radio. And guess what? Every radio show in America and across the globe is trying to get their hands on those devices, which leads to a shortage. Right. So they're expensive. They're hugely expensive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
And I could see like the request for, hey, can the shipping container each get one of these individual IP units being met with? Are you fucking kidding me? Right. We need our host on. I can't get one for Scott Van Pelt right now because there's a two month waiting period to get one of these things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
How dare you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
all frustrated i don't think we were really fully comprehending supply chain issues really yeah we were asking people like you want another microphone why not a narwhal like why don't you ask me for an endangered species because that's essentially what's going on there and i wouldn't expect you to know it. I certainly understand the frustration.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Hell, you were probably frustrated not because of a microphone, but because of how you were feeling over at ESPN. I would say that our general friction with ESPN management had subsided because they were grateful that we were doing this stuff. You are asked to take a pay cut and I want to ask you about that. But let me talk to you about the solution that I workshopped with Chris Winningham.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
And this is something that we've never really reviewed. I was doing Chelsea Mic'd Up with Chris Whittingham. Chris Whittingham was an intern of ours. When I got hired by Chelsea to do content, they asked me, what do you need to put out a show for us? I need Chris Whittingham. And Chris Whittingham and I were recording Chelsea Mic'd Up at the time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
That's another reason why Valerie wanted me out of the apartment, because I'd go from doing his show, Highly Questionable.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
And I was doing Chelsea Mic'd Up. Poor Valerie. I was doing it there. But we had workshopped. I remember the conversation came up. He's like, you know, Mike, I've been thinking about the issues that you're running into. Credit to Chris Whittingham.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
He's like, I think if we use one of the mic ports for not a microphone and we plug it into the computer, we can get the sounds from the computer into the mic port. And you could essentially have all the zooms go through as if they were on the microphone through the IP unit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
now ideally this would all be fed to espn but espn didn't know anything about even zoom at this time and i would be flying blind talking to someone else and trusting them with timing fade up fade down it would be a disaster so i wanted to be in control so we rigged our ip device to the computer chris whittingham came over in gloves and masks and rigged the ip unit and it worked it worked and that's how we got crystal clear audio
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Zoom audio from the shipping container was our workshopping working through Chelsea Mike Dub. Our crazy idea worked. And so that's how we fixed the headphone thing, which was a big thing. Around this time, what turned out to be, is this going to be a couple of weeks? Is this going to be a month? Turns into several months. ESPN makes the ask of its talents, their higher paid talents.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Hey, can you volunteer a portion of your salary? Give us a little bit of a break here. Maybe we can take care of some other people. You had a very unique request that didn't fly over well with some folks at ESPN.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
But again, dating back to the supply chain issues, you not knowing the nature of your questions causing any friction, you make a genuine human ask about where your salary could go to and how is that met?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Took the pay cut, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
We're done. I had several months to tell him, Dan, I think we're kind of done. I didn't want to believe it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Yes. That part. Yes. That part, again, with the supply chain issues and Dan not knowing if his questions are dumb or whatever, or if his requests are dumb, like ESPN legally- had no way to do this. As part of a publicly traded company, they can't actually circumvent that. Like if you wanted to do that out of your pocket, they could look the other way and not know about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
And again- They didn't work for ESPN.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
We actually eventually got to chemistry and I'm really proud technologically of things that we essentially invented. Dan just said we had a bunch of people on zoom. No, at the beginning of this, Zoom wasn't a thing. Having people just pop up on a Zoom wasn't commonplace. We had to rig things and invent stuff. I'm really proud of the shows that we put out during this era.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Well, yeah, it becomes knowledge amongst everybody at ESPN, the people that are doing this, and that's how they get you to do this. There were a couple of talents that pushed back on it and were a little worried, like, do I ever get it back? No way of knowing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
And your bosses, everyone is so thankful for their job at this point. We don't know what the world is going to look like. You're afraid to tell your bosses no. So it's implied that you should do this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
And I think you were right, too. They hadn't considered the camera people because they weren't on their books. So what you did was a very humane thing in that what about all these people? Like, there's no furlough for them. Like, what pot of money do they have? How do they make their livelihoods?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
The simulcast of our show at this point has some static images because we don't have cameras, but also Lebo starts coming over to the apartment and sketching live shows so that our visual presentation can have some kind of supplement. So good. We were trying to push, like, how can we still be creative as the ground rules change? And I'm really proud of that. And then something funny happens.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
The first couple of weeks, month, it was about survival. The second month was like, how do we make this feel better for us? The third month of it was how can we really push this? How can we use COVID as a benefit? How can we use the fact that we're disembodied voices with no real live video to our advantage? And also there's a whole bunch of creative people that have their projects on pause.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
How can we use some of the smartest minds in Hollywood to work for us? Maybe they just want the creative outlet. Dan starts getting close with Adam McKay and all these other creatives in Hollywood that are dying for some sort of creative outlet. And we start doing these bits that I'm really proud of that we didn't present to the audience as bits. We were trying to fool them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Phil Hendry style, which in the first couple episodes, I told you. probably had more influence because of how much Hawk loved him over our show than any other show that was out there. This was very Phil Hendry-esque. How did we get to making bits? How are you on the phone with Jonah Hill and John C. Reilly?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
There are huge names in comedy and improvisational comedy that are coming through just playing characters. We never reveal their identity. This is all really cool stuff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Now, granted, it took us a little bit of time. It took everybody time. The audience reception to what we were doing, they were just so grateful to have anything, especially something regular and consistent that people might look back on this. I'm sure a decent chunk of our audience would say, that was my favorite era of the show just because of how much our show meant to them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

It was on his website for a long time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a time with your brother where some behavior is a little erratic and we're all a little confused as to why some of this stuff is happening and no one really knows what ultimately is the root cause of all this, which is the sickness. That is also happening as the world stops, everyone's lives change, work becomes a bit of an escape for you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
The audience, and not only Stu Gatz, really knows how much you personally are under at this point. I had no idea. Because work is not going great, too. All these things are meeting at a head. And it's also like the mental health crisis of our time. I didn't know that your brother was going through stuff at the moment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Like, it was hard. But I didn't know because Dan didn't correct me if I'm wrong. He didn't tell me. You didn't really know what was going on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
One of the things that I remember from this time, and not fully knowing that you were going through that, the ways that our fans talk about our show being there for them during this time. We were all impacted by this. Yes. You lost your mom to COVID. I lost my grandfather, who I lived with for several years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Yeah, that time was really challenging personally, professionally.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
That's healthy. And it had to be really confusing for the rest of the shipping container who already had a reduced role because of the construct, but they don't know what's living inside anybody's head. We're all pretty divided. We're doing our best to talk and laugh with one another. We're glad that we're all there for one another, but it's different. It's really different.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Another thing that happens during this time is George Floyd happens and there are riots and ESPN didn't get on our asses about how we could talk about this. There were no sports ties. There were no sports. They let people speak freely on this. We did some good stuff there. We had some really good guests. I'm really proud of the stuff that I did with David Sampson there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
I grew as a talent as a producer. I really loved some of the challenges that this presented. In terms of my skill, this is about as sharp as I've ever been as a live producer. Multimedia. I was learning all sorts of things.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Yeah. I stayed home during lockdown. There was like a work holiday where the show just had it off. And I was at home for one day and I was so stir crazy. Keep in mind, I'm still going through my mental stuff. I'm coming out of it. I have my daughter. I have to be. And like anybody, I feel like the wall's closing in on me. I was at home one day and I told my wife, we're moving.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12

We all had friends that didn't have that blessing. We all had friends that had got laid off or worse, friends that had passed away. Friends of friends, parents of friends. There were a lot of things that put life in perspective. Dan spoke to it some there.

That was impossible. But the show was better than anything else that was out there. And I think that meant a lot at the time. So let's take it to the beginning of lockdown for us because Gobert, Tom Hanks, that all happens. And I think we essentially have a week, especially down here in South Florida. The world really ended for us down here when Flanagan's closed. That's how you know. I remember...

You and I have a pretty interesting dynamic. You have your side of things with how the Marlins went down, and I speak for the fans, and I have a really good knowledge of what happened there, and I like to think that I can call you on BS.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
I went out on a boat because I was like, this might be my last opportunity to go on a boat. Let me soak up the sun as long as I'm allowed to. And I get a call from Amanda Gifford, one of our bosses over at ESPN while I'm on the boat.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Doing a great job, by the way, with ESPN's college football. Yeah. We knew that she was a superstar and she ascended quite rapidly over at ESPN. She's great. She called me and said, hey. We're going to be broadcasting outside the Cleveland or in people's homes. Your show is also doing that. I'm like, you're joking, right? Like, who's going to engineer Dan? Dan doesn't know how to engineer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
And I was alerted to the fact that TJ Warren is playing Jimmy Butler twice in one week. Thanks to Rachel Nichols, who hosts the jump, which is a national show. This all the hostility coming to a head twice in one week. This is a major plot line. If you're not invested in the regular season component of this NBA bubble, I just gotcha.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Like, how is this going to work? He said, we have a couple of remote units, these IP devices. Sugato already has one in his home because of the weekend shows that you were doing over at ESPN, which got a lot of fanfare. Yeah, and stupidity. And I actually got Amber Wilson's. I had to have Chris Cody pick it up from her house and Chris Cody dropped it off at the Clevelander.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
I literally get dropped off by a boat onto like one of these neighboring islands. And I get an Uber and I go to the Clevelander to pick this up. And it looks like apocalyptic. Not in that it's empty. Quite the opposite. Everyone's on South Beach, super spreading their life away because this is the last opportunity to party. I'm like, wait a second.

How you doing, Tom? We really appreciate your time. Thanks so much for doing it.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
You don't want me to go to the Clevelander because it's unsafe, but I'm going to the Clevelander to pick up this device. She's like, that's right. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
The unsafest place on the planet right now. I'm like, look, this simply isn't going to work. Amanda at all. Dan doing this by himself. You're not going to have a show. You're not. Sue can figure it out. Dan's not going to know how to engineer this stuff. I have to learn some of this stuff. There's no way I can teach Dan remotely. I need to be with Dan. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
She says, fine, you can go, but only you. I'm like, what does this mean for the shipping container? We haven't figured that out yet. I'm like, okay. But we have Dan, we have Stu. Don't have the shipping container. We have me. Cool. What am I to do with this device? Well, Dan's going to be working from home.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
That's where I started. And I didn't have the opportunity to really test this. I got to Dan's apartment, his condo in the beach. Man, this is eerie. I can smell it. Like there's so many things about that. They're just so vivid.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
The smell of your apartment. I can certainly smell the apartment that we later ended up going to because South Beach was empty and in your building there was another apartment that was a bachelorette pad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
There were like little dicks everywhere.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
It didn't smell good. It didn't smell bad. Basically, it was a kitchen without a garbage disposal. So there was like months old food that had caked into the sink that I was smelling. It smelled like home. A weird, distorted home. But the first couple of shows, I get to Dan's apartment. Dan's in his shorts. Dan, Valerie, hey, what's up?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
No, but this is where we're going to have to do the show for now until Dan finds a better place. Or in our minds, a couple of weeks when life gets back to normal, because that's what everybody thought. We never knew that we were going to be doing this remotely as long as we did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Everybody else has privacy. Everyone's doing their things in their own homes. Imagine you're broadcasting there in your home, but I'm there. Abby's not going to have the same kind of freedom and liberty, or at least she's not going to feel that way if I'm there. She's going to feel like she has a guest in her home. Everybody else got to feel like they were at home.

Howdy, folks. It's Mike Ryan. I talk to you about Miller Time all the time, but we're in the wintertime right now, and one of my favorite pastimes is to crack open a Miller Lite and enjoy myself some Miller Time during the wintertime because when there's a brisk chill in the air, it just makes everything right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Dan's home was the studio. Sure. And I was there as producer engineer. So Valerie did not feel any kind of relaxation at home. And also it's lockdown. Not very many places where she could go. So I understood why we had to get a different place. But the first couple of shows that we did, I remember being very bad, very bad.

I would often say well after the show because I had to set up for HQ. Ride Home didn't have to. I was just doing it to help Dan because there was no show. There was no economy without getting Dan set up there.

If everyone's struggling, take control. Just order for the whole table. A round of ice cold Jagermeister shots. Damn, that's cold. Because apparently, we've all been drinking Jägermeister wrong.

It's in the name. It's ice hockey. Ice hockey. Yes. Regular hockey, not as great. Not floor hockey. Ice hockey, real good. Damn right. Wherever you are, if you're hanging with friends or at the bar, call the shots. Cheers with ice cold shots of Jagermeister.

Zach Martin retired yesterday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
He's just 34 years old. I guess we're not really allowed to be shocked by retirements in the NFL all that much. Aaron Donald retired, although we had been able to brace for Aaron Donald because there was that chatter there. Zach Martin really shocked me. Jess, he's a Notre Dame legend.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Notre Dame legend. Yeah, definitely a Notre Dame legend. And I know he's gone through some injury, but this surprised me. Should I have been surprised?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Yeah, I guess I'm not allowed to be surprised anymore. when someone retires, especially someone that has made their money. And that gets me to Dalton Connect, who I want to talk about, because there were actually developments on this story, Jeremy. It would seem that the trade, like everyone's pointing their fingers at the Lakers right now for this Dalton Connect failed trade.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
I've got bad news for you. The percentage, which had been at like an all-time high, 3.2, I guess not all-time high, but NASA really wasn't around for the time of the dinosaurs. If that's what happened. NASA has just announced new data gathered last night dropped the December 2032 impact odds of the asteroid to 0.28%. What?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Update the people, and then I want to talk about how people are psychoanalyzing Dalton Connect, which is a little unfair.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Well, that changes the narrative quite a bit because the onus was falling on the Hornets. You played this guy to increase his trade value was the narrative that was going along there. But I want to focus on the Dalton connecting. And you said something interesting. I agree. J.J. Redick should have done a better job here. He's still learning. This is a teachable moment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
It would have only bought so much time because, remember, Dalton Connect, maybe because of the actions of J.J. Redick and how he exacerbated some of this stuff. He sat out some of the Rising Stars stuff, the All-Star Weekend stuff. And at that point, you don't have your coach there to protect you. You're going to have to start answering some questions there. I have a tough time with this one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
And I understand where people are coming from, like, You know, this is a business. You know what you're getting into. You've been grooming for this moment your entire life. You get to the league. You understand the association is a business. It didn't work out. You go back to a place that you don't feel wanted.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
I do actually think that this newest revelation does make it easier for the Lakers to welcome Dalton Connect back in that, look, we failed them. We shouldn't have. That's because we knew how special you were, Dalton. Man, that's a hell of a spin.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Man, we had immediate regret. So, look, it's clandestine that you are coming back. Dalton Connect. I'm willing to... I don't think I've ever seen a situation quite like this before, so I understand there's no playbook for it. I also... The way that I've been kind of processing it before... I don't have a take on this. Where I've settled is he hasn't made his money yet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
So the spoiled athlete trope that you hear, like, go out there and understand the business, like, he hasn't made his money in this league yet. So I don't think that's necessarily... We're dealing with a very human thing. I think...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Because it's framed in sports, everyone feels like they can disassociate how awkward that must be as someone that has previously walked into a building where he knew with full certainty that he wasn't necessarily welcome there or wanted there at that time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
I understand how difficult it is to go about your job and to try to maintain a level of professionalism that then again, you are contracted to actually play. I don't know how much he's participating in some of the other stuff, though. I'm sure there will be a big investigative piece on it, and hopefully it comes out on the other side. But I'm willing to not rush to judgment here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
But I do hear a lazy trope on social media when it comes to spoiled athletes, and I don't think that applies here. He's not this multimillionaire.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
I've been told that Tony has a hot take that's too hot for this room. So, Tony, we prepared a place where you can formulate this hot take and unleash it on the future. It better not be with Arb Riles. It's not. But we are sending you away to a sauna, I believe. Oh, I love the sauna. So you can deliver this take.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
It better be. And it better be focused on the NBA because as I've already said.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
All right. Well, let's get over there. I want to inject the storylines now in the NBA because, as I've stated, sports in shambles. Just lost the face of the league. Has a terrible all-star game. Miami Heat are crap.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
No doubt. And I will readily admit this. It's awfully convenient for me to say the NBA is in shambles when my team is no good. I know. Yes, I'll wear it. My investment in this league was my team being good as the sport itself got less appealing to watch for me. And when the team started going about the regular season a certain way, I responded in kind. And then...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
It was very disheartening to know that I knew better about the direction of the franchise than the franchise did. And so that's where I'm at. And then I start seeing all the other flaws. If I'm not invested to watch my own team, I'm certainly not invested to watch other people not care about their sport. So that's where I'm at with it. And hopefully, there's peaks and valleys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Baseball kind of figured something out. I watched that World Series. Granted, it was New York versus LA. But look, Yankees, we got on groomed beards now. They Still can't believe that. We did stuff to the shift. The games are moving faster. And the NFL, a couple years ago, was at the same point. The sport wasn't as watchable. They had to change the rules. You had the Kaepernick stuff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
And also, I had read that it was too late to do anything about, which I was like, I saw Armageddon. You got plenty of time. Maybe not enough time to turn astronauts into drillers, but you certainly have enough time to turn drillers into astronauts, as Michael Bay taught us. But...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
There was politics. Everybody was just exhausted. You had people saying the UFC is going to be bigger than the NFL. The NBA is going to be bigger than the NFL. The NFL kind of figured all that stuff out. So I think that the NBA is at one of those points where they need to bring it in tight. do what's best for business, and change something.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
But I'm a little distracted by what I'm seeing right now because I wasn't fully prepared. I was not fully prepared for how this was going to go down for Tony's hot take. So, all right, that is a bit of a shock. Hey, good for Mally. Yeah. Now, Mally, sleeper. We're not showing it yet. We're waiting. He was right. They're still previewing the shots. They don't reveal it yet, guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Mally's a sleeper, but I... Oh, man, the cockles of my heart are warmed right now as I'm watching first take and Stephen A. Smith have to formulate hockey opinions. This is great. This is actually a great proving ground for him as he's going to have to, you know, one day possibly talk about the Balkans.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Yeah, which is why they're dragging out PK.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
The first one couldn't have sounded more condescending. Well said. I think everyone understands your position. Thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Nonetheless. Or people like me that just, once they realized, oh, you're going to charge me what for that? No, thanks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
as this story turns because every day we're going to have huge swings on whether or not nasa's lost all credibility with me because i could wake up tomorrow and you could tell me it goes up to six percent all right cool it's been that kind of thing the entire stock market like what's up oh it's up to six percent oh no what are we gonna do no it's back down to zero percent okay just not now we got enough going on and i'm not look this is not a can that you want to kick down the road

MLS went through this change as well, and I don't think it was a good change.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
That's what's interesting. I don't know how Sporting Kansas City is eligible for the CONCACAF Champions Cup. And that's not a thing that happened to me before when these games were more accessible. Now, I couldn't really follow most of the league because the way that they stacked their games was a lot in the same window. But I was locked in on what Inter-Miami were doing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Now I'm kind of just living my life once I got priced out of those season tickets. And I mean, I got to tell you, there is an accessibility factor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Well, I thought it was going to be the NBA globally.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Yeah, well, I mean, if we look globally, the NFL isn't even first. It's soccer. Of course, we're talking in the United States. Which is so strange that soccer can't make a dent. here despite loads of investment. But the NBA, because of its global reach, because of the fact that its best players are international, you would think that that is in a really good spot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
But here in home base where the sport was invented, it's at a troubling time right now in its history. But I think Tony is here to rescue the sport somehow by pushing a topic that can be talked about on cable television and promote big games. So Tony, we now have you in the sauna. Hey, Mally, congratulations, pal. That's a good job by you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
You can tell a lot by who decided to go with the towel around the waist and the towels over the shoulders. But Tony, what is your hot take that we sent you to a sauna for?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Well, we're bringing it all back. Check fork knocks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
I haven't heard a word that Tony has said right now. I'm just looking at the top four abs of Mally.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
It's getting hot in here, too, pal. It's getting...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
So, just to be clear, we did the sponsored segment for a hot take, and the hot take was the best player in the world should win the MVP. Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Mally can come into this studio. I'll tell you that right now. What's going on under that tap? Yeah, I feel bad for the podcast audience because the only reward for this segment seems to be the visual component, and Mally has won it. This is a star-making turn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
I have two. I think I have two now. Thank you for the shout-out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
That was just for the close friends, but they wouldn't know that because Taylor had to pick that photo. earlier in the show. So all right, Tony, come back in here because I want to talk UFC with you as we try to depoliticize sports for a moment. I'd like to talk about UFC Miami. You can feel free to wear your same wardrobe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
But Jess, you mentioned you're doing your deep dive on the Oscars and how time consuming that is. I'm in a similar boat. I've got a lot to watch. So I need you to essentially cut out two films. Now, I'm pretty sure, Amelia Perez, that's done. We're not doing that one. But I need another one that you just know that I'm not going to jibe with. Because I know I've got to watch Conclave.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
I've had way too many people tell me that Conclave is a banger. So what should be next on my chopping block?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
So more sex in that film than I've ever seen in my entire life.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Yeah. I read this article that said the Oscars are afraid of sex because certain films didn't get nominated. And I'm like, there is more sex in Anora than you can possibly imagine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
So The Brutalist is like three and a half hours long. Exactly. I think it just went on a video on demand. I kind of need to see The Brutalist. Man, it was the odds-on favorite, and then this AI controversy sprang around The Brutalist, which I kind of... I don't get all too much. I saw the director speak on this AI controversy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
For those that don't know, in post-production, they used artificial intelligence to refine Hungarian accents to make it more authentic, rather than just let the performances speak for themselves, which sometimes is a good thing. If you watch Blake Lively in the town, you wish that they used some artificial intelligence because I don't know what that accent was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

So sometimes accents can be like a huge distraction. I don't know how many people would be nitpicking the Hungarian accents, but this seems to be a big betrayal of artistry. But I thought the director acquitted himself nicely in that, look, we're trying to make an authentic film that speaks to certain people and you literally want to speak to them. You don't want them to be turned off.

I see him all the time and it's never not awkward. Always awkward. I mean, you've been with me to a game where I just like have to walk. My walk is I have to walk right behind Josie. I think we both kind of know. I hope he doesn't. I know he's not a fan, but yeah, a tough one for the University of Miami.

I talk to you about Miller time all the time, but we're in the wintertime right now, and one of my favorite pastimes is to crack open a Miller Lite and enjoy myself some Miller time during the wintertime because when there's a brisk chill in the air, it just makes everything right.

This is the worst U.N. men's basketball team I've ever seen. And for them to waste all that momentum from back-to-back really deep runs in the men's tournament is really kind of heartbreaking.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Yeah, I should clarify. It's a men's hoops team. Like, I love going to the women's games. And I know that this season's been disappointing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
But Hannah Cavender played in that game. Hannah Cavender had her car stolen. Carson Beck. Two cars stolen. Have you read the details? This was a home invasion. While they were sleeping, the men went into their home and grabbed the keys. And that's how they sold all three cars.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
It's hugely terrifying. Really unfortunate and scary situation. They caught the guy that did it, who confessed to it and the entire plan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
They got their cars back intact. Quite honestly, you can talk yourself into it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
That's why Stugatz isn't here today. Look, everyone was having a go at Miami. Move to Miami, see what happens. Look, I'm not going to issue the banter back like, maybe stealing the car from a Georgia Bulldog's a public service. But, you know, the case is closed. So, everyone is good. Hey, did you know MLS is back this weekend? No? No one knew?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
I was curious to know. That was not MLS.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
So you guys are aware that Messi played in a game that was below zero. The coldest game that he's ever played. And that wasn't MLS. It was on FS2.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
It was on FS2. FS2-er. And this was just the first leg. They're going to play Sporting Kansas City to win the CONCACAF Champions Cup, hopefully. But MLS is back this weekend. And look, most people did not know that Leo Messi was playing a game in Kansas City in sub-zero temperatures. MLS, not really part of the national conversation, even though it's coming back this week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
I have a storyline that many people may not be aware of, okay? Here's a storyline that I think I'm breaking to everybody but maybe Jess because I've texted Jess about this. There is a player on FC Cincinnati, Peter Mangione. Do we have a photo of this soccer player on FC Cincinnati? Certainly a familiar surname. That is because he is Luigi's cousin. Luigi's cousin plays for FC Cincinnati.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
And their kit sponsor, anybody want to guess the kit sponsor for FC Cincinnati?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
They have a health care provider. No way. As their kid sponsor. And I'm pretty sure no one knows about this. They do now. They do now. But look, if you've been waiting for the right moment to politicize Emma last year, here is your chance. Luigi's cousin plays for FC Cincinnati.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

You do. They are great brows. That wraps up our MLS preview. Good coverage.

The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Can somebody tell me what it was? It's a CONCACAF Champions Cup.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Yeah. But I'm not exactly sure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
So I'm assuming Inter-Miami qualified for the CONCACAF Champions Cup because they won the supporter shield. They had Messi. No. Supporter Shield. They won the Supporter Shield because they had Messi, no doubt. So that gets them there. Man, I could not tell you who won MLS last year. I'm just drawing a blank here. And I like the sport. I follow it occasionally.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Wasn't it Los Angeles? The Galaxy? No. That feels right. Was it LA versus LA in the final? No, it was LA versus New York City.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Yeah, well, either way, Sporting Kansas City somehow got the other spot, and they lost the first leg in Sun Zero Temperatures. Ah, yes, the Galaxy won. Can someone find out how Sporting Kansas City made this thing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
All right, so it was in NYCFC, which is who Inter-Miami start this season off against. Fan with, folks. I mean, I've been through the ringer. There's only so much we can do, yeah. I've been through the ringer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
I didn't like A Real Pain. Really?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Because I thought, I understand why he's getting all the fanfare and it kind of feels like, oh, a bunch of movie people are watching Kieran Culkin for the first time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
For me, I understand there's an audience for it, and I'm sure there are connection points for a ton of people that I didn't have connection points to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Since I didn't have the connection points to a real pain, I went specifically for what I heard was a great Kieran Culkin performance, and I saw just Kieran Culkin. I wasn't blown away by the performance. He does a solid job. So without the connection points, it didn't do much for me. I understand why people don't like The Substance, by the way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
And I think you and I were talking about some of the, there's like a plot hole.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
The whole thing is you are one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Sounds of Saunas
Yeah. Or you have no recollection of enjoying it. And when they really hammer home that you are one, well, of course one of them is going to go all wonky on the other and be greedy with their time with the substance. So I do think, like, it's not a perfect film at all, but I did like its audacity. I did like that the performances were visceral and they went for it the way that they shot it.

Thank you for clarifying. Those blood clots obviously can move around your body into places that I think Serena a couple years ago had one in her chest, in her lung or something. There's a lot of things that blood clots can do. Luckily, they caught this. They were talking about how Wemby was very sluggish, how he was very just kind of like... He looked tired. He looked exhausted 24-7.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Hall of Hypotheticals
I get it, though, because it's a weak quarterback draft. The two best quarterbacks are going to be gone way before seven. So giving the seventh-round pick for a guy, if you think he's just as good as Cam Ward or Sanders, maybe not that crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Hall of Hypotheticals
That I would do. I actually like McCarthy more this year if you get him for that because he's been in the NFL a year. So he has NFL weight program. He has NFL. But he hasn't walked. The logic is odd. Are you saying this worked out well for him? No, no. What I'm just saying is, like, he hasn't played, right? But he has, like, he's been in NFL systems. There's no, like, NFL shock value.

Like, he's not like, oh, my God, what is this? Like, he's seen NFL speed not on the field, but he's seen it in practice. He's been around it. He knows what it looks like. And I'm pretty sure he threw a pick six in his first pass. Ah, it's a preseason. Who cares?

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Thursday Night Football Reaction
They're kind of playing themselves because, again, people are gravitating to this guy, and you're helping build a myth when you're doing that thing. He had a fresh cut. Like, how did he get that done?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Thursday Night Football Reaction
I have a theory, and this might sound bonkers to you, but everybody that I've floated this theory to, their initial reaction is like, what are you talking about? And then they kind of see it. So we say this was an alleged murder. He's not even really denying. We know what happened. We have video, right? So how do you go into a trial?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Thursday Night Football Reaction
Well, if this guy has a cause, my theory is, what if his defense is self-defense? I got him before his policies and this healthcare system got me. Now, it's going to be a difficult trial just because everyone feels some kind of way about healthcare. But if that is his defense, he actually gets to make the trial the showcase and put the spotlight on his cause if he argues that as his defense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Thursday Night Football Reaction
But if he didn't have United, then it has nothing to do with him or the guy that he murdered, right? I think if he's speaking about general health care and an alignment among health insurance companies, I think this defense allows him to do seemingly, given what we've known, what's been published, his very clear feelings about the matter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Thursday Night Football Reaction
If he goes down that road, he at least gets to present his case and put the system on trial.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
You're listening to DraftKings Network.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Well, without question, you don't take, I mean, look at the, we talk about the mistakes made of Ryan Tannehill, Daniel Jones, go back to Trey Lance, when the 49ers traded up for it. And the only reason they just didn't get stoned to death is because Brock Purdy worked out for him in the seventh round, right? But that was a horrible trade to go up and get Trey Lance.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
So, but again, that was their grade on him. And you're right. If Shane and the Giants staff, whoever puts the grades together, have a franchise grade for Shador Sanders, you take them. If you don't, then you don't take them. Now, the quarterback position is the most overreached position.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
But what you don't want to get into a position of taking someone and hoping they become a franchise quarterback. Not that we have a franchise quarterback grade on this guy. We're taking him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Right. Mike, you mentioned the quarterbacks, and this draft is so much different than I think we've seen in the past few years where after Cam Ward at one, it seems like there's any number of guys that can go anywhere from – middle of the first round to the fourth and fifth round. You know, guys like Jackson Dart, Jalen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I mean, there's people arguing Jalen Milrow is a fourth rounder and people arguing he's a first rounder. And I don't think we've seen such a dichotomy of quarterbacks. How many do you think are going to go early?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Well, I think the top five quarterbacks, in whatever order you want, are Cam Ward, Shador Sanders, Jackson Dart, Tyler Shuck, who has transferred everywhere and ended up at Louisville, and Jalen Milrow. Now, there are some teams that like to trade into the back half of the first round, and grab a quarterback. Why? Because they get a fifth-year option, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
You score into the second round, it's four years, no club option. That fifth year is a club option. So you have a guy for an extra year, especially if he pans out for you. So I think that at least three quarterbacks will go in the first round.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
And Aaron Rodgers said, yeah, you know, I'm interested. And then Aaron Glenn said, well, we're going in a different direction. Oh, 20 seconds in. I love Aaron Glenn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
um and it all depends on on where shadur goes if shadur goes to the giants i think jackson dart has a good chance of going or shadur goes to new orleans i don't think the giants are going to take them if shadur goes to new orleans then i think um jackson dart has a good chance of going to pittsburgh
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
After that, teams don't really need a quarterback unless they jump into the back half, the back part of that round, even though Pittsburgh's 21, that's in the 20s. But I think it's then a choice of Tyler Shuck and Jalen Milrow. Then it goes to what offense you run, do you install, or that you have that has a quarterback running, involved in running plays, which Jalen Milrow can do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Guy's an unbelievable athlete, but he has throwing issues.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
He has all the confidence that we had him on the show, Mike and I, down at the Super Bowl, has all the confidence in the world. And I loved his answer about, you know, about this and about hand size, this and that. He's like, I can throw the football. I mean, he's got confidence in himself, which all these guys should have confidence in themselves. But those are the five.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I think three at the most. Three at the most will go in the first round if three go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Yeah. To what Aaron Rodgers thought were going to be a long meeting. It turned out to be 15 minutes. Yeah, they were going to move on. That's old news. I mean, the new news is what's Aaron Rodgers going to do? Is he waiting to see if Minnesota will want him? If their quarterback is not back from his knee injury, J.J. McCarthy, and how he's looking, though J.J.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
The problem with drafting Shador is you're going to start Russell Wilson. I know. Right? You're going to start Russell Wilson. So why would you draft Shador if you're Shane or Dayball? I mean, if you lose with, you know, Russell Wilson – you're going to be gone. Somebody else is going to be coaching Shador.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
How many times have we seen a team take a quarterback and then that coaching staff is gone the next year and someone else is coaching the quarterback? So I think they're going to, unless they draft Shador and say, we're playing him, we're playing him, we're getting through his growing pains, then if he starts to look good, Then Dayball and Shane can say, look, we're building something here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
But if he doesn't and Russell Wilson doesn't and they're not winning, which the expectation is they're not going to, and not just because of the quarterback, but the surrounding pieces as well, then that staff, unfortunately, is going to have a tough time hanging around. I definitely think Cleveland and the Giants go Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter depending on the order.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Again, because Travis Hunter, I mean, both are just incredible athletes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Yeah, yeah. I think it's based more off that he's going to be a first round pick. Travis Hunter was the Heisman Trophy winner. Right. Does seem a little odd, but you know what? The end of the day, I don't care. It doesn't affect me. You know what? It's not like I'll ever walk through the Colorado Hall of Fame to look at their jersey. I get upset about it, right? Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I mean, listen, they were an incredible spark. They were in position this year to be in position to win the Big 12. It obviously didn't happen. It does seem odd, but what do I care?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Yeah, don't get me wrong. He's probably the offensive coordinator his first year out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
because that's you know that's right you know right right but he's not he's not retiring yeah not not hanging the jersey from the rafter probably not and and i think the person that would understand that the most would be mike right right he wouldn't want it right exactly yeah exactly would he be the oc though is mikey a right would he be your oc
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Well, I don't think he'd start right out as the OC, but I'd definitely put him on the staff if he wanted to go into coaching. You can always find a place on the staff for someone starting out and then build up, absolutely.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Oh, hell yeah. I've got to continue to try and have power over him while I can because now that we're working together in the media, I don't have power over him anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Well, that's ridiculous. He's not going to not play football. Some of the comments by some of the potential draftees just blow my mind. I don't understand why you have to talk such a tough game. You're going to be a high pick. You're going to let your play do the talking. Everybody knows he's going to play both ways, but playing both ways
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Playing both ways in the NFL means the majority of the time is on defense. You know, they're not going to make them a one-way player, but you're going to play the majority of time a corner, a slot corner, probably a corner, and then you're going to supplement on the offensive side of the ball where you can fit in and out. But I have no doubt. Listen, the guy played 120, 130 plays in college.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
McCarthy hurt his knee in preseason last year, so he's had a long time to recover. He should be fine, and they're going to want to go with him. And it sounds like he just wants to be with a team that's going to compete for the championship. And I don't know if he thinks Pittsburgh is going to be that team, being in the same division with Baltimore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
It seems incomprehensible that he can do that in the NFL with the step-up in talent. and pressure and everything. But he's proven he could go a long way. So obviously you have the risk of injury as well when you have him on the field that long. But man, I mean, I play him on defense and supplement him on offense and let him use his talent.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
The best player is either Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter. Now, Travis Hunter can offer you more by playing both ways. Abdul Carter, obviously, you know, was his first year down as an edge guy. He's just an unbelievable athlete. Unbelievable. Chasing from the backside, his moves, his quickness off the ball, his drop his shoulder and his dip move. It's incredible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
They're the two best players in this draft, without question. A guy that kind of jumped up a little bit on the O-line is Armand Membu out of Missouri. And I don't mean that just because of the combine, because you know how I feel about the combine. But what it did is it made teams go back and watch him on tape. And just what an incredibly fluid athlete that he is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
So I think he's going to be the first O-lineman taken. But as far as best player in the draft, it's Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter, pick the order,

You know, the dentist I had in Connecticut when I was at ESPN was the nicest guy in the world. He had soft hands. Nothing really ever hurt. But I hated him. I hate the thought of going to the dentist. I hate it. I'll never enjoy it.

And you go into the cleaning and the person cleaning your teeth sees you bleeding at the gums already knowing you just scraped them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
You know what? Nothing's ever good enough for that person that cleans your teeth before the dentist. You could floss every day, brush three times a day, every day. Nothing is ever good enough for them. They're like, your teeth are filthy.

Sorry. Or they'll give you a comment with a but and how you can improve, right?

My wife actually loves getting her teeth cleaned. She loves getting them scraped and the feeling of that.

She's an alien. I don't know how she enjoys that. Unbelievable. No one enjoys that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Cincinnati, to an extent, though Cincinnati has to really work on their defense, Cleveland is really out of the equation. So, I mean... He probably has, I would imagine, Aaron Rodgers until the draft, unless Pittsburgh takes a quarterback in the draft, but they don't want to start him right away.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Yep, we're going to play a little anonymous sources. We're going to have a couple of giveaways. It's going to be a good time in Nashville. Come join us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
He's going to try and catch us. He's going to try and catch us to make us rank Mahomes 10th.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
If it's a Jackson Dart from Ole Miss, if it's a Shador Sanders, if he drops that far, if they don't want to start him, do they still sign Aaron Rodgers if he wants to sign?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I'm going to give myself a little bit of wiggle room because there's some bad quarterbacks that we already know are bad. I'm going to put them ninth.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
You can drop a Will Levis in there at any moment. Raise your eyes, my ass. And I have that tenth spot just waiting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
You put him at eight, right, Mikey? Aaron Rodgers, eight, Cam Ward, nine. I also know that there are some names still out there, and I would feel really bad about having Aaron Rodgers ranked above them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
There's a couple of names. I have mine written down, yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I thought it was a really bad look to say you want to get rid of somebody because the team might be looking to him for some guidance. I thought that's a really – it sounds like you were scared. You were scared that there was another leader in the locker room who might undermine your – who, and mind you, might –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
It's the fourth name. It's the fifth name off the board, but where do you rank them? No, it's the fourth name off the board. That's why I made the face.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I got to put him at seven because I can't put him at ten. but I can't put him at four. So I'm putting Sam Darnold, At number seven.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I hated it for Sam Darnold, but I love that he was in demand. But, I mean, there's no offensive line there. There's no Kevin O'Connell there who's going to make him shine. And he's got one wide receiver right now in JSN. So I didn't like the move for him. I think we're going to go back to Darnold is a bust. And I think it's more because of where he is, not what he is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Mahomes, Burrow, Lamar, those are the names that you could put above him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I see Stu's point that Josh Allen could be argued number one easily. And I gave you a couple of names that I could easily argue is above Josh Allen. And that's just different ways of playing the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Yes, but not only that, he can't go four.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
He only has a certain amount of slots left.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I only have one left and you only have two left.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I thought he was going to hit us with a bunch of good ones. He hit us with a bunch of bad ones.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I might have put Jared Goff as my number two quarterback if I knew the names coming. I love that you wanted Rodgers. You wanted Rodgers back for another season, yet you have Fields right, number one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
God bless football and the draft and Aaron Rodgers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
It's perfect. Exactly what I wanted. Fuentes was up to some stuff. We said we were going to find out at the end of the segment. Fuentes was up to some stuff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I was trying to hold on to that 10 spot for Tua just to be that guy. But do you really have no faith in Caleb Williams, though? I would have put him lower if you gave me more spots.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Why? What's your issue with Caleb, man? I don't think he's – I have a problem with quarterbacks who were told their entire life that they're the best ever because they never get tested, and then when they are tested – they don't know how to handle it. And Caleb Williams is one of those guys. I think it happens a lot more often.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
The only quarterback I know that ever succeeded coming from that is Peyton Manning. Peyton Manning is the only quarterback I know that was told from day one how great he is and then outworked everybody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
He said the thing out loud is what Aaron Glenn did. Correct. That worrying about not really on the field with Aaron Rodgers, but off the field with Aaron Rodgers. And Aaron Glenn is a first-time head coach, the last thing in the world he wants.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Maybe John Elway? Did Andrew Luck? I mean, those are the guys where you go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Yeah, usually the quarterbacks that really explode in the NFL are guys that have a chip on their shoulder, whether it's, you know, manufactured in their mind or actually there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I'm actually mad at Fuentes for making me have Justin Fields as the number one ranked quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Sure, let's do one more. You want to do more Mike Lee?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Is the team looking at someone else or a player having supposedly, even though Aaron Rodgers dismisses it, having as much power or influence as Aaron Rodgers can exert if he wants? or can just make a situation bad. So I think this was the right move. Listen, Aaron Rodgers could probably have a good year this year. The Jets aren't going to the championship. They're not.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Well, you missed some new games. Really? Oh, yeah. Yeah, you missed a couple of doozies. Really? Like, will it pass? Oh, wow. Will it pass? That was a big one. Will it pass?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Yeah, it was the proposed rule changes, and the question was, will it pass?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
It was a one-week game, but we'll play it again next year. Same week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
More Mike Lee to have a better season this year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
More Mike Lee to have a better season, Rodgers or Fields?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
More Mike Lee to live up to his contract. Jamar Chase or Juan Soto? Wow. Been saving that one for you, Stu.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I don't have the numbers in front of me. It's okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
There you go. Been saving this one for you too, Stu. More Mike Lee to be at the Super Bowl next year. The Chiefs, the Eagles, or me? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
All right, last one. More Mike Lee to have more players drafted this year in the first round from the SEC or the rest of college football?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I think it's close. I think it's going to be close.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
So you have a young quarterback in Justin Fields you can bring along and see how he does. If not, you go into the draft next year. But they're not going to win the championship this year. So why have the potential – of new head coach, 21-year vet, walk-in Hall of Famer who, you know, carries some weight on the roster. So this doesn't surprise me at all.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Well, when we're picking offensive linemen from Missouri in the first, you know, seven, eight picks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
We can talk about the process, you know, and say the process wasn't the greatest in the world, but it's not surprising that Aaron Rodgers is not on the Jets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
It's the reason that you do it is because your other option is a quarterback who has never won a game when his defense gave up 21 points, and I'm talking about Justin Fields. And the other part about it that is bothersome to me is it sounds like Glenn is trying to be Bill Parcells. And Bill Parcells would come in, and Bill Parcells had the cachet and the respect to come in and say –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I don't need you on my team because it's what I do. We're going to do it my way. Aaron Glenn hasn't earned that. He hasn't developed that. And frankly, I think he's probably lost part of the locker room because Rodgers was very well respected and very well regarded in that locker room.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
And to hear that this is how it went down, there's guys that are going to be now looking at Glenn in a different way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Yeah, and if you miss with Justin Fields, it's not the biggest miss in the world. It doesn't cost you a lot of money. But if you hit with Justin Fields, forget it, Mike. Exactly. Again, maybe it's the process we didn't like. Maybe Aaron Glenn could have called him and said, listen, I'm the new head coach. We're starting fresh here. I'm just going to start over at the position.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I didn't want a season of Justin Fields, is I think really what I wanted. I would have been very okay with a season of Tyrod Taylor. I would have been very okay with a season of Tyrod Taylor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I'm still in the Justin Fields bandwagon. I still think he can become a good quarterback. So we'll see. We'll see. He's on his third team. Mike, I hope you're right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I hope you're right, Mike. I would love to be wrong about this. It would make me happy to be wrong.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
There's a lot of first-round reclamation projects out there that are floating around the league that some are hitting and some are not.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Yes. In particular, Aaron Glenn. He said that what he thought was going to be a lengthy meeting that he flew cross-country, quote, on his dime, was a 15-minute meeting. And 20 seconds in, Aaron Glenn ran out of the room, got Darren Moogie, came back, He interrupted Aaron Rodgers mid-sentence and said, we're going in a different direction of quarterback. Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Yeah, I mean, I could see the thought process. Detroit lost all the players and coaches that they lost. Chicago got better, but they're still not going to be a threat to the playoffs. Green Bay, quietly, could be the best team in that division, quite honestly. But yeah, when you're as close as you are, because the NFC is not as deep as the AFC.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
It's basically Philadelphia, and then where do you go? It used to be San Francisco, but it's really not that anymore. So yeah, there is part of me... You know, that says... I know. Because I do think Aaron could have a pretty good year, especially with the weapons that they have. And they really help bolster that offensive line in the offseason. And again, maybe that's what Aaron's waiting on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Maybe they're... Again, you can't see much with J.J. McCarthy right now. You know, it's the offseason. Nobody's got pads on. Everybody's throwing in T-shirts and shorts. So... You know, you really haven't even started the OTAs yet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
So it's just going to be if his knee is structurally sound, it seems like they're making him the starter when I could definitely see Aaron waiting because he doesn't have to play. But normally, if you want to play, you want to play. It's not like I only want to play for a certain team. And if not, I want to retire. Then you're just sitting there. still wanting to play, waiting for an injury.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Maybe that's one of the next things he'll do is wait for an injury to a contending team and then come in and sign. He may put his eggs in that basket as well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Nashville. We're going to be there for the number one pick, and we have no idea who it could be at this point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Well, my first question is, how does Mike Golik spend the draft? Like, Mike, are you watching all seven rounds? Are you watching all the picks or are you like first ten? I'm out. Well, first round and I'm out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Well, this will be the first year in a couple of decades. I'm actually not physically working the draft, so I'll I'll keep an eye on it, basically. The first round, really, which is Thursday, Friday, you know, the second and third round and then finishes up Saturday. I'll keep an eye on it because I'll have to talk about it, you know, in the job after the draft. But, you know, I will...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I will basically pay attention to the first round and those are those are all the names that just keep getting recycled right and those are the ones you need to hit on but it's really the the guys in the third fourth fifth sixth seventh round where you find the gems you know there's going to be an all pro in that group by some team and that's just going to be good scouting you know uh
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
predicting what somebody will do from the college level to the next level. That's where you hit the draft. Your number one, your first round pick is supposed to hit. We know they don't always hit, but it's the later part of the draft. It's amazing. You get the first rounder when you can get him. But second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
If a guy is a second round talent, you try and get him as late as you can, maybe in the third round. If a guy is a third round talent, you try and get him in the fourth round. That's when the games kind of start to happen with the teams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
And the part that stood out to me was he said, well, why? And he said, because when I'm talking at the front of the room, I don't want to have guys looking at the back of the room to see what you're doing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Well, I mean, the first thing is I'll be in Arizona. Arizona. So it'll be earlier, right? So it'll be around dinner time, snacks on the couch, you know, hanging out. Maybe all the grandkids are here right now, but by then, just the one granddaughter will be here, Alex. Maybe I'll have her by. Maybe I'll be playing, reading her books while I'm watching the draft. That's probably what will happen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Well, I mean, listen, they're going Cam Ward, obviously. I think, you know, as far as the first round and the first couple of picks, the interesting part is going to be Cleveland and New York, because that's where the expectation of Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter are going to be. You know, you look at Cleveland, you look at New York. So Cleveland has a second pick. They have their choice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
of Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter? And would you want Abdul Carter to put on the other side of Miles Garrett? Or do you want the two way player and Travis Hunter? If if they take Travis Hunter, do the Giants take Abdul Carter? Remember, they have Thibodeau and they have Brian Burns as edge rushers. Yeah. But he may just be someone you can't pass up. Just too much of a talent to pass up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
And then you go to the Patriots. They're going to probably go O-line. Jacksonville's probably going to go D-line. Vegas. Everybody says Ashton Gentry for Vegas, but what's the sense in having Ashton Gentry if you don't have an O-line? And this is a pretty running back deep draft. I think they should go O-line and solidify that O-line.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Obviously, the name in the first round is going to be Shador Sanders. Does he drop? And if he drops, how far does he drop? Does he go in the top three? If not, does he go to the Raiders at six? They just signed Geno Smith to an extension. Does he go to the Saints at nine, where Derek Carr has a shoulder issue and may be out for the year? If he doesn't,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Yeah, he said that and he said, Aaron was like, you don't know me. And Aaron Glenn said, well, you don't know me. And Aaron Rogers said, well, that's exactly right. That's why I'm here, you know, to try and get to know you. Yeah, supposedly Aaron was talking to the GM And then Aaron Glenn interrupted him 20 seconds in and said, do you want to play football?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
From nine on, none of those teams need a quarterback until 21 in Pittsburgh. And then does Pittsburgh, you know, take Shador Sanders? Shador Sanders, there's always one in every draft that is kind of the wild card. And this year, Shador Sanders is that wild card.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
I at three man I don't know I don't know I mean they brought in what Russell Wilson I know Russell Wilson is not going to be there obviously forever it all I keep saying this when I do the show with Mike I say this all the way back because I'll never forget Ron Jaworski when Ryan Tannehill got drafted I think six or seven by Miami yeah right and everybody was like
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
And when Daniel Jones got picked, I think, what, six by the Giants? Yes. We were all like, what the hell? And I remember Ron Jaworski saying, doesn't matter what we think, doesn't matter what the world thinks. It only matters what the grade of the team that's picking has on that quarterback. If they have a franchise grade, then you take them. You do whatever you have to do to get that quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
Now, they were wrong on Ryan Tannehill and they were wrong on Daniel Jones. But I get the thought process. Then it comes down to your scouts, your, you know, whoever is making the selection are making the mistakes. But if you have a franchise grade on Shador Sanders, then, yeah, you take him third with the Giants. You know, because they'll need it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - Stugotz. Is. Back!
They'll need a franchise quarterback at some point. So all this talk about where he's going to go. I don't know what grade the Giants have on him. I don't know what grade. Again, I don't think the Raiders and San Gino to the extension are going to do it. It seems like if it's not the Giants, it's going to be New Orleans or Pittsburgh.

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo. I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

Hey listeners, it's Mike Ryan, and if you've listened to this show for 20 years, you know one action movie franchise that I believe stands head and shoulders above the rest. That's right. The Mission Impossible series is one of the few franchises that gets better and better, consistently raising the bar with set pieces, story, location, and character.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Playoff Preview (feat. DJ Bean and Pete Blackburn)
This is a franchise that I've argued in the past should have won the Best Picture award. Tom Cruise consistently is upping himself and raising that bar with each Mission Impossible film as the real. Practical stunts continue to push the envelope in new record-setting ways.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Tom's passion for entertaining audience has him, along with a dedicated cast and crew, pulling out all the stops to deliver the most thrilling, unbelievable feats yet. I simply cannot wait for this film. Mission Impossible, The Final Reckoning, in theaters May 23rd. Hey, folks, it's Mike Ryan.

Sure. Speaking of your fantasy team, you say every year you got a player going into the draft who you keep close to the chest. You don't tell anybody. This is the guy I want. Season's over. Who was it this year?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Clunker
He feels bad about it. He's too polite. I guess the guy had a reason to cut me off in traffic.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Clunker
I looked it up. The last time you were in Detroit was with the chargers in 2019. And I think they finished three and 15. So I think it's a little bit of a different team that you're going to be facing from the last time you were in Detroit. Holy crap. Watch that old film.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Clunker
I mean, tell me what I need to do. A new car. Did you see what happened to the book AJ Brown was reading? I did. It went from like 5,000 on Amazon to number one. So I get it. Buy him the new car.

I just assume everything you say to Billy is somewhat aggressive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Clunker
Is Mike Tomlin done in Pittsburgh? Because there are people, especially in Pittsburgh, that want him gone. But it feels like they're just kind of slow dancing in a burning room between the two of them, Pittsburgh and Tomlin, where neither one really wants to end it. They're just going to let it crumble around them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Clunker
Could you imagine if they did the trade and Justin Herbert through four picks?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Clunker
Yeah, we actually have a national championship and the biggest college football NFL playoff weekend. But let's do this.

Week 11. His loud pitch voice made me feel bad today. Sad face.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Clunker
Oh, man. He's going to be so mad. I'll tell him it was Billy's idea.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Clunker
Could you just let me know when you're not going to pick him so that I can?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Clunker
Okay, great. You got a copy of the book, Schefter? Because I don't. How about you, Billy? You got a copy of the book? I haven't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Clunker
Adam, do you ever get emotionally invested in some of these things? Like, are you ever getting texts and you read it and you go, now, why are they doing that? Like, come on, don't don't do that. Like, I just this is a terrible idea. I have to report it, but it's just terrible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
Yeah. Anonymous sources. Yes. I am very much looking forward to it. We also have blind rankings coming up and, uh, Is that a game?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
That's a good question. I have not reached out to anyone involved with Around the Horn. Wow. And no one has reached out to me. So that's where we're at. Now, granted, I've been hard to get a hold of lately because I've been traveling. Yeah. But no one has really reached out to me. So... I'll have an update for you next week, Billy. You want me to start making some calls?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
I don't feel like they should come to me. I shouldn't have to go and call Tony Reale and pitch myself for one of the final shows, you know?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
I thought the show was over after May, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
Yeah. So you're telling me to make the push now, like right now, make the push. Like right when we're done recording here, I need to get on the phone with Reale and get on this show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
Did you see what happened there? There was a part of him, because Billy is a fundamentally decent human being, okay? But for some reason, he totally changes when he gets behind a microphone. There was a second there where he felt bad doing that to Kay Funk, and then realized the devil, okay, behind the microphone, realized...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
Yeah, we should do them. I am, and I'm sorry, I'm a bit distracted. I am reaching out to Tony Reale right now. I started the text by saying, Billy told me to reach out to you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
Assuming you've been trying to get a hold of me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Oh, wow. All right. Can I see it again? I just, I'm trying to figure out what it is. Can I just see the back of it again?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
I'll do the entire last week. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait, who was the last week guy for Around the Horn? It's going to be Woody Page, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
Right, you're right. There's only like 10 more shows, and they've got a bunch of people they have to get to. You're right. I'm doing it right now. I am. I'm making the push. I told him I'm available to finally take this off his to-do list is what I said. I am good for the final week. That's what I told him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
I could see that totally happening. They book him on a random day. He's like, ah, I got something. That's it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
I hit send to the text. I'll see if I get a live response here for us. Yeah, hopefully, yeah. On the air. All right, anonymous sources, are we ready... Are we ready for that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
I am excited, but now Billy's got me frazzled now because Billy's right. I only have two weeks left to get on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

But you didn't answer my question about the dolphin schedule. Did you take a look? Did you, did you do?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
I didn't listen because Reali already responded. Oh, no. What'd he say? He said... Hey, big dog. He said, who do you want to knock off the air for the last show, Ryan or Woody?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
Well, he just said, you can't tell the story of Around the Horn without Stigatz, who once dressed up. Weren't you a spleen? I was with Mono.

GBF - That's a game
Sorry, I'll stop being distracted from reality lying to me. Yeah. You're right, Billy. He's a bit of a liar, if we're going to be honest. He's not a liar. He's just such a nice guy that he doesn't want to hurt anyone.

What he's doing right now. Did Billy guess yet? No, I haven't guessed yet. It's for everything, yes. Yeah, it's for everything. Can we hear it again just so I'm not distracted?

GBF - That's a game
A lot of upgrades. I have a guess. Interesting first pick. You have one? Carolina Panthers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Really? By the way, the Jets play Carolina last year. I would have been thrilled with that this year. It's a loss.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Reali. Ask Reali. I'm not asking Reali. NFC team, the Eagles. Billy wins the Chicago Bears.

Yeah. It's been the Chicago Bears 15 times. Yeah, it's nuts. Yeah.

GBF - That's a game
uh but i apologize for the fact that i put this on your plate and your radar and now you're like a dog with a bone on this one and uh i feel like he's having you chase your own tail so you don't think this is gonna happen i i will tell you that the reason i got on around the horn in the first place was because of tony reality and so and he was very supportive as i was doing that show uh and has been since we left espn so i think maybe you're right
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
Maybe he just doesn't want to break my heart and tell me I'm not going to make the final cut. Yeah. You're probably right. Cause I think I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that, Billy. I am because it's something that I would do. You tell a look, you dangle, you dangle, you dangle right up into the final show. And then you call him up. You say, you're sorry. What can you do?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
Well, you started the show with a headline about Derrick Henry, so we're doing running backs today. We're doing running backs. We did wide receivers last week. There was a bit of confusion because you guys don't know that Matthew Gold is the number one receiver for the— Green Bay Packers. He's not.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
You're still the number one receiver. Yeah, that's what you tell everybody. Anyway, we're moving on. We're going running back, so we're going to start off with one of the best running backs in the league right off the top. Guys, choose carefully. Christian McCaffrey of the 49ers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
Wow. Christian McCaffrey had a dead show, by the way, at the Sphere. He was backstage with Bob Weir, him and George Kittle. Your boy Kittle. Billy, how about that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
McCaffrey, you have four running backs being better than him?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
Not for now. It can't be for now. It stays there. Once it's five, it's five.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
We all know that these are eternal and he can never be moved. Yes. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
Number one running backs? Are we going to get Khalil Herbert in there? On their teams. That's all I'm saying. Number one running backs on their team? Nope, they're just running backs. I don't want to hear no bulls**t like last week where I had to argue about Matthew Golden.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
this randomizer and it's never random it's almost like the last one is always a dough it's almost like we're doing it blindly stu gotts christian mccaffrey mikey you said i'm gonna put him at number two i can't imagine it's gonna be it's gonna be bullshit running backs the entire time he just told us what his game number two that's why i'm good at the game i put him at two because you didn't tell us the rules second guy mikey said five for mccaffrey right
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
Sure. Bucky Irving is your second running back off the board. Bucky Irving of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
I could make a claim that he is, but I'm sure he has some info about Rashad White. Yeah, he's really the number one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
I'll put Derrick Henry at three. I have faith in Fuentes. He will give me Saquon Barkley.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
Next running back off the board, Los Angeles Rams, Kyron Williams, Notre Dame guy. Ooh, he's good. A lot of touchdowns last year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
Next running back off the board, the league leader in touchdowns last season, Buffalo Bills, James Cook.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I'm putting him at four. Next running back, Kenneth Walker Jr., Seattle Seahawks. Ten.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I have two, four, seven, and nine left. Atlanta Falcons, B. John Robinson.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
I'm not certain why there's so much tension with this game, but I feel it. I feel it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
Yes, exactly right. It's the fear of the unknown, Stu. Next, Bryan Robinson Jr., Washington Commanders.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Now he's just going to make up a name to make us all look stupid. You guys held to faith. Saquon Barkley, number 10.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I think I nailed it, Fuentes. Fuentes. I had Saquon McCaffrey, Derrick Henry, James Cook, Kyron Williams. B. John, Kenneth Walker, Bucky Irving, Robinson, and I.J. Harris.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
That's a good question. I feel like it is slowly coming back. Maybe defense has caught up with the offenses and we're shifting back to the running game now, but Mikey, it does feel like the running game is kind of back, I guess.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - That's a game
Maybe. You can make an argument. Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry, both those guys, they were in the conversation for MVP last year. It's been a while since we've had two running backs be in that kind of conversation, the MVP conversation.

The fifth major? Yes. Subject to debate. What's the fifth major to you? Indian Wells or Miami?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

what makes it more of a major? Because Miami's got more prize money.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
I don't know the stadium, but the hill? Murray Hill.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
I think a lot of the feedback, because this has been a debate in tennis circles, is it was Miami when it was in Key Biscayne. But Hard Rock Stadium, which I think, having gone, I actually never experienced Key Biscayne. Ever. Really? Yeah, it's one of my great regrets, but I always thought it was too much of a hassle as a local.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
And Hard Rock Stadium is just, as a campus, for the Miami Open, it's easy to get around. Like, I really enjoy the Miami Open there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I like Indian Wells as a viewing experience more because of the time that it airs. And you're right. It's more of a proper tennis camp.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
And even though I'm a Miami guy through and through and I've never actually been Indian Wells and Miami has more prize money I would concede that now that it is a hard rock stadium that the the main stadium being more antiseptic less of a traditional Tennessee guys are talking about from the fans perspective the reason I asked this Venus from a players perspective to I think more major players even though like there's a lot of Crossover you probably see better quality players over at Indian Wells for some top players
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
It's an excellent point, but there's been some great tennis being played, and I have a shocking observation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
But I think there's a player right now who's 38 years old who's the most athletically gifted tennis player of all time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
I think Gael Monfils is the most athletic tennis player to ever live.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
He's got all the tools. He's never really put it all together. It's incredible what he's doing at 38. I mean, father went away. I don't really know how he's doing it, but he's playing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
He's 38, and he's right now. You can make an argument that Alcaraz is going to be in that conversation. Djokovic was plenty athletic. I wasn't old enough to watch him play, but Yannick Noah, if I Google it, most athletic tennis players, obviously the father of Joachim Noah, so great athletic genes there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
But I think Gail Monfils might be the most athletic tennis player of all time, at least on the men's side.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
It also shows you the era that he played in and how great everybody else was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
As a 38-year-old, seeing how competitive he is right now, if he were in this era, if the prime of his career were in this era, he might have won a major. And by the way, I'm not going to sleep on him for the French Open this year. I'm not. He's playing really well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
You can say Alcaraz or Alcaraz. Alcaraz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
What do I? I like saying it like that. I know it's a choice that I'm making. But check out this rally from Gail Monfils. This is from a few days ago. And this is him at 38 years old against Dmitrov. This was an amazing match. I think it was a 34-shot rally at one point here. But this is an example.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now
And one of Gale's nicknames is Slider Man because when he's on the clay surface, his athleticism really jumps off the screen there. But look at his range of motion, his ability to get to some of these balls at 38 years old. It would absolutely make Dan Levitard ask, what is going on there?

Who's never run an offense, who's never been a play caller, and now you're like, here's Tyrod Taylor, traditional pocket, can roll out a little bit, but traditional pocket quarterback, and here's Justin Fields. Do me a favor. Create an offense. Oh, and by the way, your number two receiver is Billy Gill.

I would. I mean, if you're telling me my choices were Justin Fields or Aaron Rodgers, yes. Aaron Rodgers.

If you're telling me... If you're telling me my option, you know who I wanted? Because he would have been cheap, he would have been fun, and you wouldn't have had to give him a long-term deal. Give me Jameis Winston. Yes. Give me Jameis Winston. Give me Jameis Winston and Tyrod Taylor. Between the two of them, you'll get 17 starts.

And then you reset the whole thing next year in a better draft class, a better free agent class. But no, you went and gave a running back, Justin Fields, $20 million a year.

It's going to be a whole lot. With Jameis, it's always going to be a lot of, please don't do that, please don't do that. It works. Please don't do that, please don't do that. I told you not to do that.

A little behind the scenes, you know, we text each other, you know, this group, me, you, Fuentes, Stugatz. And after the Jets signed Justin Fields, Fuentes said kind of a ha-ha, you guys have your quarterback now. I did not. I did not laugh. And then like an hour later, you guys signed Zach Wilson, and I won.

I think I disagree with you wholeheartedly. And here's why. If Zach Wilson comes in for you guys and is terrible, you go, well, yeah, Zach Wilson is terrible.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Ignore Chapter 7
That's the only reason people believe he has high upside. Not everywhere. He was terrible for the Jets and then spent a year on the back of the bench with Denver. He hasn't been terrible everywhere he's gone. He was terrible with the Jets.

It's obviously not over because they still have most of their foundational pieces there. They still have their quarterback. They still have Saquon Barkley. They still have their two wide receivers.

And I think Caleb Williams showed you what he is, which is a quarterback that was coddled from the time he was probably in grade school until he got to the pros where he's no longer the best player on the field. And I'm not sure that Ben Johnson is going to be able to fix him.

What's been the biggest perk since winning the Super Bowl so far?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
My take was simply that the Eagles defense played so well that any quarterback that made the playoffs would have won that game. And I even gave myself a little out by saying I didn't think Russell Wilson could win that game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
But now you know what? I've rescinded it. And the only one I wouldn't have faith in is Matthew Stafford because he doesn't have legs. Wow. That's the guy. Great arm, but Jalen had a lot of third and longs that he converted with his legs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
I'll go one more. I have more confidence in Bo Nix than I would Jordan Love. Because Bo Nix is better on the ground.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
You just take out Jalen Hurts and you put in like a Bo Nix or you put in obviously a Josh Allen or a Lamar Jackson. Those guys win easily.

So, peek behind the scenes here. This isn't the first time I've heard this take today. And the first time I heard it, I agreed with it wholeheartedly. Thank you. And now all of a sudden he's telling me Matt Stafford isn't the guy who's going to do it. And I'm like, you know what? You're changing it. You're making me disagree.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
I couldn't help notice that you mentioned all those. They have the best wide receiver duo, the best running back, the best D-line, but you didn't mention the Super Bowl MVP. You didn't say they have the best quarterback. You didn't mention Jalen Hurts in that list of accolades.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Yeah, I would. You get my support. I said Matt Stafford's the one I had the least faith in, not that he couldn't do it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
It's not a dumb, ridiculous question, especially not what Sims just said. My take is that with the exception of Russell Wilson, any quarterback that made the playoffs would have won that game with how good the Eagles defense played. Oh, Jesus. Any quarterback in the playoffs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
No, no, no. Russell Wilson was the only one that you might have had to caveat. And you know what? I like that you include him now. Russell Wilson wins that game too.

Damn, I miss Thursday night football when both teams have a week's worth of rest. That's what happens occasionally on Thursday night football in an otherwise really boring game. We did get a national talking point out of the game, and we have an interesting cast of characters to walk you through that. Dan's a little late, so pinch hitting for him is Dan.

Dan, we have perfect fodder. A football player quit on his team, so it's wonderful as the season just flames out in embers. Hawk admitted that he had considered, but not seriously. I'm curious, what was one point in your career where you were like, ah. I don't know, Jim.

Not letting him. Don't you think other teams, even within that division, will understand like, OK, he performed admirably in the starter's place. Starter comes back, starts not feeling completely right. They ask him to go in and not a good moment. Certainly quitting. But if you add just the additional context, people can understand like this was maybe just an emotional moment.

Yeah, I'd like to revisit the Penn State of it all briefly because an expanded CFP is supposed to mitigate a team getting there kind of with a lucky path. But if you've watched these games, and I caught a little bit of BS from some Penn State fans online, but those that actually watched that game, I'm serious. I know it was a blowout against SMU. Penn State's offense stunk in that game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Big Game James Franklin
That game was there for the taking for SMU. And similarly, a little less so, but Boise State had its opportunities. And I didn't come away with Penn State, despite them kind of shifting a narrative a little bit. Look, James Franklin won two big games. College football playoff games are supposed to be big games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Big Game James Franklin
But when you watch those games and you consider the opponents and all the questions that you had about them, we're waiting for him to have a big one. and they go up 10-0, and I realize how many crucial injuries Notre Dame have, and I'm like, are they going to do this? Are they going to have good fortune all the way to a CFP final, and are they going to need this much luck to change this narrative?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Because they also looked really good. They looked like they had NFL body types.

Just to help you out, if this were not expanded, they would have been in the CFP. They would have made it over Ohio State.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Big Game James Franklin
Well, they lost in the conference. I don't think they would have made a four-team playoff. Fair enough, but they would have been over what is now the odds on favorite to win the national championship. They would have been over Ohio State.

If I may, just to fuel this James Franklin narrative. They had really good fortune leading up to this point and their good fortune continued with Notre Dame's injuries and also they almost made it to a college football playoff final having won a semifinal game without completing a pass to a wide receiver. Did you see what happened on that field goal?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Big Game James Franklin
Did you see the two guys way in the back that weren't at the line of scrimmage to block the go-ahead field goal? What were they doing? There's plenty of stuff to pick apart. The call. Why is Drew Allard throwing in the middle of the field in that scenario? Well, that's another thing. Let me tell you something. He's 6'5 and white and from middle America. I understand why people like this guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Big Game James Franklin
This dude stinks. He may get there, but this season they didn't ask any. You want to talk counting stats like 50 touchdowns, nine interceptions. I don't trust that guy at all. Haven't. That dude threw three picks. Now, two of them, rightful calls, I understand. But they were bailouts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Big Game James Franklin
The letter of the law, the official even in the booth said it was a right call. I'm with you. It was a bad decision, a worse throw. Warren wasn't afforded the opportunity to make the play as he was being face-guarded, but whatever. It just continued that I don't trust Drew Aller at all here. And in that late-game situation, he makes a terrible decision. I don't see it at all with him.

Drew Haller doesn't have that TD to interception ratio because he's particularly good. I've watched a lot of him. I think he's fortunate. And they don't ask a lot from him. They hide him. They have really good weapons, particularly in that backfield. And Warren is like a unicorn. A unicorn that was probably concussed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Big Game James Franklin
I think both tight end ones were playing the majority of that game with a concussion. and he's just not someone that I would trust. I don't care what the numbers say. I don't trust his decision-making. Quite frankly, I don't trust his accuracy. Earlier in that game, that game is actually probably over if he makes a routine NFL throw.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Big Game James Franklin
He has his running back wide open in the flat, set that goal line, and he puts a ball right at the inside knee. Not wrong. That is a throw, if you're talked about as a top five pick, you've got to make that throw.

But teetering along the line the entire game is James Franklin's legacy, and I think it just added.

If I may espouse the virtues of fighting Irish football in a likely scenario for me, no, I think if you play that game 10 times, that was just about the weakest form of Notre Dame when you consider their really bad injury situation. That game was totally there to be had for Penn State. Up 10-0, it felt like a three-score lead with all the momentum.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Big Game James Franklin
I don't know if you were watching this game with the sound on. I wish you did. Because right before Drew Aller threw that interception, Greg McIlroy said, Drew Aller is not the type of quarterback that's going to throw an interception in this spot.

I love that about this sport because it taps into something almost primal that the professional sports don't.

Es ist nicht so, dass du die Tore schießt, das ist nicht das, worüber ich rede. Ich sage nur, mach den Puck. Sei da, wo du sein solltest. Sei wach und bewusst. When Barkov is sending a centering pass in front of the net, Swaggy's not expecting it.

All season long. And I watch these games and I'm not necessarily sure it's something that Toronto is doing. Die besten Spieler der Panthers müssen nur aufwachen. Reinhardt, Barkov, Kachuk.

And I'm right there with you. We need to get Kachuk in that happy place behind the net. Like quarterback in that power play.

Ich weiß, dass sie einen jungen Vorspett, einen Torwart, hatten, über den sie sehr gespannt waren. Aber das ist deine Chance, Florida, in dieser Serie zurückzukommen.

Aber das ist, wo die Champions zeigen, dass sie die Champions der Stanley Cup sind und sie ihre Home-Ice verteidigen.

Und ich denke, in einem Vakuum hat Anaheim einen guten Job gemacht. Ja, Anaheim ist einer dieser Teams, und ich weiß, dass Billy auf den Ducks war. Sie sind da. Sie haben gute junge Talent. Sie müssen ein bisschen mehr diszipliniert sein. Ich weiß, dass sie ein bisschen eine Disziplinärin hatten, aber Coach Q ist ein bisschen überfordert. Er ist ein Typ, der da war.

Es ist die richtige Haltung für sie in einem Vakuum. Aber er war auch im Helm in Chicago, überwiegend über alle Art von sexuellen Verbrechen, Power-Dynamiken, die völlig verabschiedet wurden.

Smart, genius, genius level.

Es ist. Und du würdest denken, dass die Augen der Welt in die Anaheim Ducks Coaching-Search eingewiesen wären.

So einfach ist das. Ich habe mich von der Distanz her an den Chat-GPT-Hockey-Experten Andrew Hawkins angeschaut. Wenn er seine Hände hier zurückheben will, bin ich nicht froh. Du bist okay damit?

Es war ein bisschen seltsam, wie es brach, weil Adam Schefter sagte, dass der Wettbewerb kommt. Und dann gab es viele Fragen über die Kompensation. Und das war George Pickens Verkauf.

Die Kompensation war ein bisschen auf dem Geld, je nachdem wie verrückt George Pickens ist.

Ist das das, was die Konkurrenz war? Ja, das ist ein Typ, der noch neu ist in seiner Karriere. Die Leute negieren nicht, dass er Talent hat. Das sind die verrücktesten in-game Catches, die du jemals sehen wirst. Ein unglaublicher Talent, aber auch ein Psychopath auf dem Feld.

Ich möchte hier ein bisschen aufhören und ein bisschen mehr auf das Gehirn kümmern, weil George Pickens... Ich glaube, dass er die Nummer 1 in Pittsburgh war. Talent-weise und Produktion-weise war er ein kleiner Fehler. Ich glaube, ich frage mich das jetzt noch einmal in George Pickens' Kopf, was ein verrückter Ort ist. Aber es ist ziemlich gut aufgebaut, wo CeeDee Lamb in dieser Liga ist.

Da waren Leute da, um ihn zu prüfen. Es waren nicht die Veteranenteams von Pittsburgh Past. Er geht nach Dallas und Dallas ist der Ort, wo sie diese Moves gemacht haben und sie erwarten, dass die Jungs nicht verrückt sind.

I mean, it's definitely a sad story, what happened to AAB, because you look back at interviews from that time, he was just a different cat. The eyes weren't as glassy. I mean, we all know that there's a lot going on there with AAB. I mean, it certainly played out in the public before, but people forget where he came from, what he had to do to work. He's a dog. Absolute dog.

Even with the hard knock stuff and his feet all torn up, that guy would work Super hart. Und dann hat er den Plot verloren. Alles wurde von ihm entfernt.

Es funktioniert in manchen Fällen gut, man kann sagen, Brandon Marshall hat es gut gemacht, sicherlich hat es mit Ricky Williams gut gemacht, aber ihre Geschichte ist mit Jungs, die große Sprünge gemacht haben, David-Boston-Typen, wo es einfach nicht funktioniert hat.

An diesem Punkt, Paul Pierce. famously went out on a wheelchair and nothing actually happened. Well, something happened. He shit his pants. So, the key storyline in last night's NBA for me was Paul Pierce walking to work. Because Boston went down 2-0 against the New York Knicks and he said that he would make an 8-hour walk to the Fox Studios. In a robe. Wearing slides. He said...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Barn Needs Me
He said barefoot. In the tweet that I saw. All I saw was the last video and I was immediately skeptical of a dude whose nickname is The Truth. So let's play some video here of Paul Pierce. We report, you decide kind of deal because I didn't think he actually made this entire walk, but Hawk, you told me that he was kind of live streaming this.

It's up. Fight through. Good job, Chris. Do that time scrape that you guys were doing in the preview screen where we kind of go over the stretch of time. Mein Skeptismus ist nicht, dass er sich an die Sache verabschiedet hat, aber ich habe das Gefühl, dass es vielleicht ein Auto auf Stand-by gab. Du weißt, dass Fox Sicherheit ausgeschlossen hat, dass er das nicht selbst gemacht hat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Barn Needs Me
Also war es absolut ein Fahrzeug, das ihn während des Tages umgebracht hat. Es gibt keinen Weg, dass Paul Pierce nur acht Meilen in L.A. geht. Er hat sich ein bisschen für Content für FOX engagiert. Und die Leute wissen das. Er hat sogar die Routen, die er nehmen wollte, auf der Karte gelegt. Also ich glaube, es gibt eine Crew, die ihn folgt, um sicherzustellen, dass er okay ist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Barn Needs Me
Also der skeptische Teil von mir ist, und ich bringe hier skeptische Billy rein, ist, hat er von bestimmten Punkten in diesem Auto geflasht, ein bisschen gefräst? Ich habe keine Ahnung, ob es 70 Grad ist. Du wirst glücklicher als das. Das ist, wo ich skeptisch bin.

No, that has always been the playoff energy line. You want to get a winger going, you put them with E2 and you put them with Lundell.

What I'd like to see from Florida is, they've let Toronto screen Bob, like, at their free will, and we gotta get some bodies pushing bodies over there. You mentioned who needs to be better, and you lump Bob in there, and I would put Bob like 12th. auf dieser Liste.

In the NFL, it's like you have these massive names, Devontae Adams, Stephon Diggs, Tyler Lockett now, even though he said he's retiring, Khalil Mack, Joey Bosa. You have all these monster names that are basically changing teams because their team said, you know what? You're not good enough. And that's my favorite part of looking through all the different names.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Like, oh, wait, where's Devontae Adams going to go? It's like that little... It's the bridge that gets us from the combine to the NFL draft, right? Like, we've got a bit of a dry spell in the NFL.

The way Stu does it, it's like this long thing to get you going, but then you're doing it the way you're used to getting it from Stu, so you just do it really fast because Stu has already done the long part. So you've got to mimic Stu's cadence so then Mike can give a fast one, I give a fast one, and then we're back to you. But I don't, if I'm going to be honest, I don't like it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- One Last Boys Trip to Vegas
Yeah, I'm going to also go with Billy on this. It's just that it's a lot to demand from a kid that's coming out to play because it's old saying, right? Like when you're in college, you're going to be lining up against a guy who might be taking finance classes or installing aluminum siding after he graduates, where when you get to the NFL, you're playing against some podcasts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- One Last Boys Trip to Vegas
yeah it's something like that but you're playing against a guy who is all world every time even he might not be the best receiver in the league but he's definitely one of the best players in the world every single down and like and also you know like to echo what Billy said if you're drafting him to play both sides of the ball your team is so severely down bad that there is you know it just shouldn't be happening Carter he's a you know he's like a physical freak and he is his job is to get the quarterback where it's a lot more if you're
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- One Last Boys Trip to Vegas
doing both sides of the ball. So if you're drafting Travis Hunter, hoping he's going to be a both sides of the ball guy, you're already setting him up for failure. So I'm going to say Travis Hunter is more likely. Plus he has all the pressure of being, you know, Heisman guy and this like media darling. So it's, it's, I'm going to say definitely Travis Hunter.

Back to your thing. Now that we're thinking about a three-year Max Crosby deal, I think you just kind of pointed out they tipped their hand a little bit because they're picking six.

So do you think you're going to have enough to win something with Max Crosby plus unknown quarterback in the next three years?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- One Last Boys Trip to Vegas
They have to be going for a veteran. I can't even name a receiver of theirs outside Jacoby Myers, I guess Brock Bowers. But is that going to be good enough in the next three years to win anything?

My answer would be somewhere in the person who brings you a Cuban story so that you can find the humanity in yourself and in that story, a storyteller and feel something in there. I don't need Jimmy Pataro to know that before meeting me. But when I went to go see Jimmy Pataro after this, and this one, I was good. I made a deal that I wouldn't normally make to honor and respect him.

And at this point, I'm guessing he's feeling I'm either self-destructive or that we're just careening toward the abyss. So he's in Fort Wayne and he thinks some things here are strategic. that I'm not going to remember as strategic. I promise you that, Stugatz.

And that's the like, let's do it as the platform. That's what you're seeing. And the only way we can discuss around here, because this isn't about politics, it's about race. What you're seeing happening around here is about race, and it's been turned into politics. And we only talk about it around here when Steve Kerr or Popovich says something.

Look, man. Okay, look. John Skipper worked at Rolling Stone as a troublemaker. I'm a troublemaker. He hired me to be a troublemaker. Disney's only going to do so much troublemaking because it's Disney and everyone loves the magical fantasy of Disney.

Well, you say this. Mike, I don't know. Let's examine this for a second. Hold on. Because it produced one of the funniest video clips in the history of what we do, where Billy was in another room in front of a green screen and just seemed confused and was in charge, but couldn't hear anyone talking to him.

And so Mike Ryan thinks some of this stuff is strategic. And I would say the Cosmos have had a funny time with our show. And this stuff, I'm telling you, is not strategic. I did not take advantage of Mike celebrating our show in Fort Wayne to do something that I wouldn't have done with Mike there.

Okay, I will have to get that hierarchy from you guys because I feel like we'll have 19 more final straws before we're done here. I will tell you that some of this time again becomes muddy because I'm going to lace the personal elements in here. And Stugatz had a very difficult time where he lost his mother and the show had to go on. So what I'm remembering about this time is at the very end of it,

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
I didn't realize, though, that that's why they were spending more time with us. You didn't? No, I really do think that people, if you're interested in sort of doing a forensics on how we did what we did in a way that made people curious, how are they able to do that at Disney? And it's because off-premises, a lot of stuff can be kept away from me. given how weird our whole setup was.

for reasons that I have to be careful about talking about because I want to protect Poppy's privacy.

The last days of my honeymoon, I'm talking on FaceTime with my dad and I see a hollowed out look. It's only happened a couple of times, but I can see, oh shit, I'm in Japan and I got to get back home and my dad's not right. And so now I'm coming back into also, and I got to get back to work with my dad on television.

And even during my honeymoon, the most blissful time with the most blissful woman I'm churning on. And when I get back, highly questionable is the platform that I was made to write something on this subject and deliver something more powerful here than anyone because of my connection to where it is to have freedom of speech, you know, smothered and how important I think it is.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
Here's a place for me to be able to make really good content on behalf of underserved people and make a sociological point that will thread this needle on degree of difficulty that will make ESPN proud, proud that I will do a piece of work that will be substantive. And so I'm coming back into that and I can't do it. I'm not allowed. Nobody wants any part of this subject.

Again, I'm not viewing these things as hills to die on because throughout this process is someone blissfully naive about an employer can terminate you. You know, Dan, your history of relationships with employers doesn't always have to be something that is positive at the end.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
Okay, but no, but... I understand why they wouldn't trust me to do it, especially after things changed there. But I was being insistent on them trusting me to do it because you hired me to do this.

During this time, you mentioned Trog Keller, and it is a source of a good amount of pain for me. And I hope at some point that I can heal all of this with him because he was very, very good to us. And I really appreciated his support and just how he loved. radio. I've told him this, I've called him this, but there's an explosion in here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
You guys will understand that is going to take some talent here. Okay. So we'll get in some future episodes to where money became a problem because I wanted to make sure some people around us were taken care of outside of what Disney could do. And there were also liabilities on how much I could give them personally. I don't understand any of it, but I couldn't just write checks for people.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
So it created an assortment of problems that I really wasn't privy to because Mike is getting battered in all the things that you feel in the last episode because he's fighting in defensive protection of... The executive producer job on this show is protect Dan. Just make sure he's okay so that we can all be okay. Because if you take care of the show, it will take care of you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
So we invented a business and it was a bit of a miracle that I think Trog Keller was able, company that is cartoon protective, to have a t-shirt company at Disney that would make its own art. It was a bit of a giant victory to have a t-shirt company.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
we were starting to carve out our own thing under the espn umbrella and bucking against trends that were usually non-starters contractually for them and so somehow because we did still at this point have this support we now have a t-shirt company that will allow me stugatz to take some of the money here it is let's pay our employees better let's have a little company and have a little thing that makes a little money on the side but it had not happened for a number of reasons that i

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
And at this meeting, I think I lost both my agent and Trog, although I have not gotten Trace on the phone to help explain to me where it is that I lost my agent because of whatever Trog and Trace's relationship was that birthed

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
t-shirts and an enormous victory that made me appear ungrateful at a dinner a year later because I'm saying to somebody who I genuinely love and appreciate his support, Trog, it's a giant company. It's Disney. How can't I sell a t-shirt in a year? Like I was just legitimately confused by how can I not sell a t-shirt? And so it's an enormous naivete.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
I want this thing to be maximum honest, and I don't know some answers here. And I would love, Trog, to know how sorry I am that the pressure's brought to bear on me, okay? Because, Stugatz...

though honest to god please correct me if i have this wrong for whatever the problems were with management i'm still never thinking that one of the consequences of this is that while we're in the contract they're gonna push us out like i agree it's just not a thing that i was thinking about i'm like this contracts when i was thinking it the entire time i was afraid i was afraid i i

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
but dan's approaching it like we have contracts and we're still doing this thing it's more than that though like i honestly and i'm not sitting here claiming that this is some brave rebellion it's stupidity it's it is being just wildly unaware of the storm that was actually around us had you known you were jeopardizing the show and espn in our jobs would you have changed what it is
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
So, but whatever's happened over 20 years, I think that we- May I say, I think so.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
The thing is, though, and this, yeah, it speaks to how differently we look at it through all of our eyes. If I had known, this is going to be funny to you guys. If I had known that it would respond in our immediate firing, I may have still gone down with that battery. You would have. And been at the back of first take just to have that as the joke, as the punctuation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
But, but I will tell you that the ultimate governor is ultimate. The first one on this will protect everybody on the show. Holy shit. This is going to be good, right? Like this is going to be funny. Yeah. We're having a lot of problems. They're not going to fire me over this. This will just be funny. It's a pool. It's first take Derek Henry's there. I'm yelling at a battery. Come on, come on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
As an inside joke.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
For our audience, getting that joke on first take, if that gets me fired, maybe I choose that. Maybe. But there have been any number of times that Mike has talked me out of whatever is the flippant joke because it's actually going to get us in real trouble. I like some of the troubles, Stugatz. I did not think that what happened was a possibility of happening even as it happened to us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
It was more heartbreaking than everything we just talked about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
I know what your answer is. What do you want me to do? I know what your answer is to this question, but I want to ask Mike this question. I'm going LeBron. Really? Really. Mike Ryan made some of the decisions with an unborn daughter on gambles that we've taken as a show in the name of believing in ourselves and believing in the content.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
So if I tell you now, Mike Ryan, not with everything else that has happened, but that the hill we're going to die on, Mike, you're not going to believe this, but this is how it ends at ESPN. It ends because Dan and we knew that if we went down to the pool with Chris Cody in the battery and sat in first takes shot, that we would immediately get fired and did it anyway.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
Would you have chosen that as the joke to end our ESPN tenure, even if the consequences were your unborn daughter doesn't get to enjoy the fruits of all of your labor and good decisions since?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
Yes, I'm pretty sure I know that you would just stay at ESPN and not cause any trouble and just eat muffins.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
I will cover as much of this as I can. I know Mike Ryan has said previously that we or I have to be careful here. And I don't feel like I have to be careful here because my emotions here have subsided on wherever it is I was

hurt and I can see clearly now without that emotion the benefits and why it is ESPN is entitled to run its business however it is that ESPN wants to run its business and so I don't have disparaging things to say about how all of this ended I will say that I was hurt because I wanted a big company to stand for something when I knew the reasons that I was hired there and the company changed and the country changed but I didn't change

Well, we benefited from it, yes. We have been able to increase our value because of the things we were able to take from the discomforts of they did not want the headlines of me going out the door screaming and yelling about how hurt I was because they know what was happening in those meetings and they are scared of too many revelations coming out and it's easy to just pay to make them go away.

Car battery, please get in here. Whoa, I just saw Chris over there. I thought the car battery was Chris. It is not. Car battery, go ahead and ask Diana Rossini's mom a question.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
For the love of God. I've got a battery back there. It is a corporate sponsor. I want to, on air, take that battery down there myself and stand in the crowd behind first take. Do I have permission to take? I want to put in the first take shot both me. I'm not asking. I'm asking your assessment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

All right, let's go, battery. We're going down there. Chris, you help the battery get down there.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
Mike, no joke, I had to keep telling the battery, speaking into the battery's face. Listen, I'll take all of it, okay? You're not gonna get into any trouble here. Whatever happens here falls all on me. I will say it was my idea that I dragged you down there that I threatened you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
You were so scared. Battery, tell the truth. Hold on a second.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
Mike, ask the Battery some questions here, because I'd actually like to know, seriously, Battery, how did you feel about what was happening there? Stop making driving jokes. I don't want to hear any more driving jokes. I want a serious answer from you on what it is that you were feeling as that was going on, because my heart rate was through the roof.

How were you feeling, one to ten? How nervous were you?

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
Man, there's someone there I love who calls me in the middle of this. I'm getting it so little, Stugatz, I'm promising you that it's just I don't know how much of this mic is taking for me. Because things that should be obvious because I'm naive are not obvious to me. So when Trog and Marsha come down, two people I care about, two people who were very good to us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
I'm not thinking it's because I need to be monitored or watched or that they have to cultivate these relationships to take care of me. These are people I care about who have helped me. One of them said we'd be working there for as long as we wanted to work there because he and his son loved our radio show so much and he really understood radio. uncommonly understood radio.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
So I'm not noticing or feeling this. But someone who's there who I would say I have and we had the best of executive relationships with calls me and says, why would you talk about that immigration thing? It's boring. That's somebody who doesn't come from where I come from. I love this person. We just come from different places.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
Why I would talk about that thing is because it's a deeply personal thing to me to see that happen to minorities and people who aren't minorities don't care about it. Why am I having a conversation with someone I love that doesn't understand this? And so I can walk him through it, but it's still something that causes him and them problems because who can get Dan under control?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
Who can get Dan to stop talking about this? And the answer is nobody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
I'm proud of this project, we're proud of this project, narcissistic though it is, and I do believe that the second half of this has the potential to have more information and be more interesting and more honest than even the first half because there's a lot of stuff in here that I have not talked about and that I will need help
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
I didn't understand that. And if I had like this happened to me naively with the deadspin vote thing, like this was another thing. This is more benign. But once it got to me, hey, Dan, you're putting Skipper in a bad spot and you're putting a whole bunch of people that Skipper cares about in a bad spot. Because deadspin is being viewed as anti-ESPN and you've just climbed in bed with deadspin.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 11
So once that's presented to me, of course I'm going to be some semblance of reasonable. But as an employer, I would ask anybody who cares about me, because I've never had these kinds of problems with employers, I do expect some sort of understanding of why it is I was hired and who it is that I am before you make a phone call like that.

The Big Suey: That's a Bar
Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
Certainly charting his own course in that. McAfee built that outside of ESPN. He built something that was attractive that ESPN wanted in on. Stephen A., while he's been at ESPN, has gotten carve-outs for his own digital enterprises. And he is growing those while being their most known talent, certainly their most important talent over there. No one's really been afforded that over there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
So he's charting a new course for himself. But also a happy byproduct of that is he's starting a new course for everybody else because that's what leadership is. He may not have gotten into this thinking that he was a good leader, although I'm pretty sure he thinks he's an amazing leader. I've seen him say that he is an amazing leader.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
Let's be honest. Well, thank you, Dan, is how this all ends.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
Yeah, well, Al Michaels is awesome. His voice across something makes it feel big. I'm not going to pay attention to rabble-rousers on the internet. I like hearing Kirk Herbstreit and Al Michaels on a game. And by the way, I don't know how many of you actually carve out parts of your day to watch the pregame from Amazon, but I think it's spectacular. I love that team that they have there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
They have actually built a really compelling, good product. Now, we saw what happened on Thursday when teams have full rest. There are certain inherent things to Thursday night football. Hawk, maybe you can attest as someone that's played in those Thursday night games on short weeks and is part of the players' union.

Were you in that game where they're like, F it, Josh Cribs is quarterback now. Were you in that one? I wasn't. That one was a great one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
But I think they do a great job with it. And now they also have this flex scheduling. You see when they actually have a good game, conceptually, Thursday Night Football is an amazing idea. And I think that the broadcasting for a company that is just starting with this property, they're killing it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
Because of the youth movement in Chapel Hill?

Apparently his dad used to coach at North Carolina. I think this is him just kind of kicking the tires. And it does appear that the NCAA is going to follow more of an NFL model. The NCAA is going to get all the things that it's looking for. And we know he can relate to 20-year-olds.

You sure you don't want Taylor on this? He's really good.

I think most people disagree with Lane just because of the nature of their losses down the stretch, too. But he says it's difficult to go into those SEC places. And I think he made a lot of good points in terms of where players are drafted. But just note, Louisville and Miami played two of the SEC teams he lost to on the road and won by a combined 50 points.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
You really feel like you know that one. That's a bar. That's a bar. Miami blew them out by 40, and you lost on senior day? Get out of here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
You lost to Kentucky, brother. You lost to Kentucky, brother. Louisville went over there. It wasn't hard for them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
Well, Toledo did win at an SEC team. We beat Mississippi, and it wasn't that crazy to play in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
But it just means more over there. I will say that while Lane is making a losing argument for Ole Miss, he doesn't realize that, no, for that very logic, You won. There was an ACC 2 loss team that was borderline and an SEC 3 loss team, and they used your logic, Lane. They just had three teams to pick from, and you finished third in that regard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
But your overall point, that's what got Bama into the playoff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
Next time, just say a little pat on the nose. It's fine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
Well, then you start getting a little shinier because you're talking. That's actually good work there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
Left you speechless. Left you all speechless. Run the tape. I was like, I guess we're going to break now because I killed it so goddamn good. Not 30. Maybe Stephen A is only 50 times better than me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
I rest my case after I left you speechless.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
Also, we have a guy that is presently employed by the University of Michigan making these arguments. They're all going to protect themselves because let me tell you something. If Indiana had the same record as Miami, Indiana was getting in because those two. Look, it's the fact of the matter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
If Indiana lost to Michigan, they would have been out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
Yes. What's weird to me is like, do you think, can I ask you a question? I like them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
I'm going to ask everybody a question now, and I don't have my own take on this. I'm just curious.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
So everybody was telling me the timing of Miami's loss was bad. They lost to Syracuse at the end.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
So everyone says that the timing of Miami's loss to Syracuse was bad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
And that overlooks the timing of Alabama's loss to Oklahoma is bad. But I guess because it happened a week earlier, it's less bad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
But they beat them in September. So if Miami had a loss in September, I guess it would have been fine. If they had a good win, it would have been fine. Here's my point. Here's my question for you guys. Switch the weeks. Say Miami's loss to Syracuse happens the week that Alabama lost to Oklahoma. And this past week, Alabama loses to Oklahoma the way that they did, which is 24-3. What?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
Do you think Alabama gets in if the most recent thing that you saw, not the thing that you saw two weeks ago, the most recent thing that you saw from them was 24-3 losing to Oklahoma, and you just swap the order of Miami's loss to Syracuse to the win against Wake?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
Do you think Alabama gets in if the last thing that you saw this season was 24? Is this my answer? It's a good question. I'm asking if the last thing that you saw from Alabama was the only other game that they played before that against an FBS team. If they lost 24-3 and that was your last impression on the season of Alabama, do you think that they get in?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
Right, but don't lose to Oklahoma doesn't exist, which is the benefit of the doubt that Lane Kiffin seems to think he's not getting. Brother, you got it. You just weren't good enough to be the one to get it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
People tend to forget what happened with Jaden Rashada. It'll be curious to see. I'm not here to rain on the parade. We'll all figure it out. Maybe Underwood's an incredible investment. It certainly got vibes going good, and they had a good recruiting class thereafter because they had a lot of positive momentum.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
At that position, I'd rather keep my powder dry for something a little bit more proven because... we know that the portal is going to be popping this year. And as Coach Elko spoke to, it does have a residual effect to the rest of your roster. It's going to be hard to manage.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
Then there's also the crushing reality. It's like, damn, Stephen A. Smith is more than 140 times better at this than me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
The tequila that invented tequila. Proximo. Cuervo.com. Please drink responsibly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
Yeah, but I will say that McAfee does a lot for that network, and the college game day ratings have totally turned around. They're averaging more than 2 million viewers. McAfee's a big reason for that. He also does things in digital video that Stephen A. Smith doesn't quite do. Not yet. Not yet. Well, he does. Stephen A. does do digital audio and video, but he has that siloed to his own.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
He has those carved out. He's not doing it for ESPN. Now McAfee, to a degree, does it for ESPN and also does it for himself. It's a kooky deal. But McAfee, I would not say McAfee doesn't bring the ratings that Stephen A does because McAfee can point to that Cadillac on Saturdays and be like, I'm a big reason for that turnaround.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
You know how in the NBA and the NFL, we've seen this with quarterbacks before, like, wait, you're giving them what? That's going to ruin contracts for everybody else. ESPN, along the time that they got rid of us, had a different approach when it came to talent. And don't worry, Hawk, I'm going to be very careful around that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
The brothel hustle thing. Delayed penalty. We had six on the ice. Let's go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
You've got to understand his situation here. But what I would say is they pivoted and they realized that we have a bunch of talent that's in an upper tier.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
worst i said you're good not helping dan i was prompted to don't worry we're all gonna come around and make the point here which is thank you dan i'm pretty sure that's how this one ends so the word dan says you're welcome uh but they have a different approach to talent instead of like spending in on a bunch of people that would be like, are they like an A-level star? Are they A-B level?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
They decided we're going A-plus across the board. We're going superstar game changers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
But if that reported number that's attached to that deal is accurate, it's going to have a trickle-down effect, and it's going to be difficult for them to navigate on their contracts going forward because you're going to say things like, are you to tell me that Stephen A. Smith is 75 times more valuable to this company than I am?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
That number keeps getting smaller, by the way. No, no, no. I know he's 140 times more important to that network, certainly, than I am. But I'm saying for other talents without naming names. If McAfee or Greenberg comes up, they're going to be pointing to that deal because that's going to set a new standard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
And they're going to be doing the math like, is he really that much more valuable to this company than I am? That's just the nature of talent contracts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
Let me be abundantly clear, though, because I was just talking about the possible ramifications. I think the ramifications are good because it's always good. And you got this when we had our deal with our wonderful partners over at DraftKings, which is even McAfee said, thank you, because that's great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
That's a number that's out there in the public space, and you're growing the industry for others. If there is a talent that should be the highest paid in the game, it's Stephen A. Smith. I like that. It's Stephen A. Smith. But then we get to do the math, like, well, is he 150 times more important than us? And it's all great stuff for the industry. So I say, you're the greatest of all time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
Set that number to an absurd place and keep reaching for the sun.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
The precedent that they've set... We could have talked about this on Monday without Hawkins in there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
Objection, Your Honor. Yeah, but... I've been thinking about this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
I think PR is good for brothels right now. Let me just be clear. I've never seen it either.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
This is a fantastic thing for talent all across and creators, content creators, because you want to keep pushing where the ceiling is. Always. Anybody that's in this game wants the water level to rise and establish a new high point because that's going to be used for better or for worse. Another piece of confetti just fell. This is amazing. Congratulations. Still dating back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: That's a Bar
That's how big that Peacock announcement was. That's just the way that all these talent contracts go. You're going to say, well, that guy's worth that to you, so I must be worth blank.

Okay, also schauen wir uns mal an, was er hier sagt, und bringen wir es zum Basketball, als er über die erste Runde spricht. Weil ich mir gedacht habe, was die Miami Heat verursacht, als sie die Boston Celtics hier fangen. Es war nicht so lange her, in der Bubble, am Rimm, BAM blockierte Jason Tatum, dass diese beiden Franchise gleich waren. Sie waren gleich.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Thursday Night Football Reaction
Und die Unterschiede waren BAM blockierte Tatum am Rimp. Seitdem haben die Celtics architektonisch mit Porzingis eine Veränderung gemacht. Aber was gerade mit der Heizung passiert ist, und das ist der Grund, warum Pat Riley es nicht aufgelöst hat, er fragt Tyler Hero, Bam und Jimmy Butler, die drei Allstars zu sein, die es so aussehen, wie es Boston hat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Thursday Night Football Reaction
Sind unsere Allstars besser als ihre Allstars? Und dann fange ich an, erste Runde zu wählen. Na, ihre Allstars, ihr Boden ist höher, als wo Heroes und Bams und Jimmy Butlers waren. Als die Messungen gemacht wurden, Tatum und Jalen Brown und Porzingis, they're the top of the top. Jimmy Butler, Tyler Hero, bam, we'll make the most with what we've got.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Thursday Night Football Reaction
And then what happens is the separation between those two teams, because your number ones can't get to the ceiling of their number ones. And then you fall behind forever. Weil ihre Jungs jung sind. Und ich frage mich, kann die Analyse so in Basketball sein, dass Jimmy Butler, was Jimmy Butlers Halt ist, was Tyler Heros Halt ist, was Bam Halt ist, ist, was ihr Draftstatus sagt, ist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Thursday Night Football Reaction
Aber was Tatums und Browns und Porzingis ist, ist, das ist eine andere Stratosphäre, was das Talent sagt, was es wert ist in diesem Sport. Es wächst einfach nicht so symmetrisch, wo du sahst, dass die beiden Teams even waren. Und du denkst jetzt, nein, sie sind nicht. Nein, sie sind nicht even.

Did we get any information as to why he was on the field? I think it's Matt Patricia.

We don't know if it's a waste because we're only seeing him from the chest up. Maybe he's got a plate of nachos down there and he's grating cheese on top of the nachos.

Jeden Tag, wenn eine Kamera herkommt, ist er einfach... Keiner von euch wird überrascht von diesem. Ich habe früher immer Käse gegessen, genau so wie das, Regierungskäse, genau so wie das.

You guys don't understand what I'm asking you. Mike and Jessica seem confused. Tony said it was a who's who game, which means if Green Bay goes to Detroit and beats Detroit, clearly they're a who. But they didn't beat Detroit. They lost to Detroit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Aber Käse ist überratet, ist so schockierend eine Sache, wie es jemals auf diesem Show gesagt wurde. Ich denke, dass es richtig überratet ist, ist gut.

Evidence of who it is that had done it and now people are on the search for a face they do have because it's not everyday you have video footage of anyone just assassinated in the street or a healthcare CEO because this isn't even about a murder in the street.

You know what? I appreciate your honesty. There's a lot of stuff going on right here. Dan, you're rich. You thought the same thing. I'm gonna tell you guys what is... I thought maybe he was trying to get the edge off.

Local Hour: Thursday Night Football Reaction
Mistakes like that don't typically get tolerated from that seat. I'm getting started to not tolerate them, but you need to allow me to explain what I believe just happened here, because I... Am giving Andrew Hawkins a wide berth. At one point he said something like a pony and show show or something that wasn't a dog and pony show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Thursday Night Football Reaction
And I gave him a wide berth because he's gotten off, first of all, what I am used to from that seat, Panay Sewell over Jamar Chase as a hot take and cheeseburger. is overrated. So he's given me two things that I need from this seat and cheese is overrated makes me think that he wants Dominique Foxworth's job on Get Up now because he's getting good at this game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Thursday Night Football Reaction
When you go to cheese is overrated, Andrew Hawkins has learned some things about the media business that he's had to learn over the last few years and now he's just looking to get aggregated. On behalf of black people I might add. Because he's speaking for the other America that's not being represented by this cheese-soaked show.

Okay, also authentisch. In Bezug auf Authentizität. Wir haben einige faszinierende Dinge im Fußball gesehen. Ich denke, in den letzten paar Jahren im Training.

Help me with this part of it, because I actually got lost last night in a video of bears attacking people. Like real ones? No, it's not weird, it's fascinating.

Weiß diese Person nicht, wie gefährlich eine Situation ist, wenn man zu den Leuten vor dem Spiel Tröten schlägt, wenn einer von ihnen ihn verletzt, wenn er etwas viel weiter macht, weil er nicht auf dem Feld sein sollte. Das ist ein gefährliches Ort, um zu sein.

Ich bin dankbar, dass Andrew Hawkins heute wieder hier ist, nach einem anderen magischen Thursday-Night-Spiel. Ich weiß nicht, ob ich hier etwas überschreite, Hawks, aber du sagst es mir, weil du jetzt ein Geschäftsmann bist. Und wir waren am anderen Tag weg und ich lamente, als wir weg waren, war ich so, ich weiß nicht, wie ich vorgehen soll. Ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, wie ich vorgehen soll.

Und deine Antwort ist eine Art von, ah, niemand macht das. Das ist ein Fakt. Du sagst, dass das ein Fakt ist, aber ich denke nicht, dass wenn wir jetzt Dan Campbell sehen.

I'm glad that we have Andrew Hawkins in with us today because I'm more confused, Tony, today than I was yesterday. Because you told me that last night was a who's who game. And I think the loser's a who. And I don't think the loser can be a who. I think the loser always wins. Ja, aber die Sache ist, auch wenn Detroit verloren hat, wissen wir, dass sie ein Who sind.

Local Hour: Thursday Night Football Reaction
Well, I want to explore this with him because Dan Campbell, Mike stopped me on the idea whether man Campbell was a fool here or not, he was a lovable caveman. We certainly didn't think that we'd be looking up in a few years and hey, Belichick can't get a job, has to try in college, but you know who the best coach in the NFL is?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Thursday Night Football Reaction
Man Campbell, because he's not afraid of anybody, he's going for it, I'm for it down. And I want to talk to Hawk about the idea, I'm going to say the illusion of leadership, because what's happened here is, this is a great team, and the coaching is important, the offensive coordinator is great, and this guy's passion is also great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Thursday Night Football Reaction
But it'll get called leadership now, whether it is leadership or not, because they've lost one game. So you tell me, Hawk, what you do with Dan Campbell after the game here.

Okay, das ist interessant, dass du das sagen solltest. Ich hatte gestern einen der großartigen Komplimente meiner Karriere, wirklich hoch auf der Liste. Ich habe mit Mike Miller und Udonis Haslam auf ihrem OG-Podcast gesessen, den ich wirklich mag. Und die Art und Weise, wie sie über mich gesprochen haben, hat mich ganz off-guard gefühlt. Ich war wirklich überrascht.

Local Hour: Thursday Night Football Reaction
Und irgendwo da drin waren sie, die Authentizität wertschätzt haben. Und ich habe es von ihnen gefreut, weil sie beide so authentisch waren, während ihrer ganzen Karriere. Aber eines der Dinge, die sie gesagt haben, von denen ich überrascht war, und du sagst mir, ob es dich überhaupt überrascht hat. Wir haben von 2010 bis 2014 darüber gesprochen, diese Miami Heat Teams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Thursday Night Football Reaction
So much fun for us to watch. And I'm looking at them and both of them are like, yeah, there was no joy there. That was four years of no joy. We'd win at the end and that was great, but no joy. Because the pressure of the expectations. That team now has those expectations. They look like they're having fun. Do you even understand what I'm saying there?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Thursday Night Football Reaction
Because I was stunned to hear those guys say that those four years, as joyous as any we've ever had in sports, they're like, no, the pressure was too much. It Es war zu viel jeden Tag. Was um uns herum passiert war, war nicht lustig. Nichts davon. Ja, das macht Sinn.

GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
That's all. UCLA had the 117th ranked offense. Like, that's not, you have to try to be that bad almost. Oh no, I agree. But there's obviously, I think everybody just understood, at least in NFL circles, that it wasn't Eric Biennemi that was the architect of this great offense. It was all Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. And they weren't going to fall for the trap of
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Well, let's just go get the OC of the best offense and hope that it translates into a great head coach.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Because he doesn't have Patrick Mahomes. And he doesn't have Andy Reid. So you can look at Detroit's OC and go, okay, I see he took Jared Goff and he made this reclamation project and turned him into this Can't throw an incompletion type quarterback. And he did it without an offensive genius in front of him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Whereas Eric Biennium, he kind of just did it with like, hey, Patrick Mahomes, go make a play. Yeah, you did it.

We take a look at the advanced, advanced Metro.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Yes. Number one for now. And Mike, I don't think you'll disagree here. Number one, Oregon. The Ducks, 12-0 out of the Big Ten. Aber was Sie vielleicht nicht wissen, ist, warum sie Nr. 1 sind. Sie sind Nr. 1, weil sie das Land im TOTTHLY ETY KIC führen. Die einzige Mannschaft, die noch nicht verloren hat, obwohl Sie wissen, dass es kommt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Ja. Ich stimme eigentlich dazu. Sie wissen es.

GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Sie wissen es. Sie wissen, dass es kommt. Alright, you guys are one for one with me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
So Texas is number two because of Arch. Or are you saying they shouldn't be number two? No, because they lead the country in Arch. Should they not be number two?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Wow. Er hat einige da drin.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Also, 18% davon ist Arch. Gibt es noch ein Team, das mehr von Arch hat?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
What do you think? Indiana. You guys never cease to amaze me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
I have no idea what that reasoning is. Zero clue. Who's who? The Hoosiers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
So you're basing everything out of a rhyme and Alex Trebek.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Ja, hör mal, sehr, sehr selten kann ich argumentieren, wenn du die Militärin nimmst. Und sie haben ein Spiel gegen Tulane. Ja, also haben sie die Chance, sich zu bewegen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Ja, okay. You'll never get an argument from me out of the armed services. Unless they're playing Notre Dame. They shouldn't be that high. They shouldn't be that high. He couldn't resist himself. Jeez, Mike.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
You guys couldn't resist. Crimson Tide. 9-3. Well, Mike, when a team is so good in YCH, APW, TW, TYRNT, ANFP, CTGINW, you gotta put them in. You gotta put them at least close to it. Wie kannst du das vergleichen? Das bedeutet, dass du ohne sie keinen Playoff haben kannst. Und wir sagen dir jetzt, dass es eine 95% Chance gibt, dass sie nächste Woche reinkommen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Und das ist alles, weil sie natürlich groß sind in der NSMAC.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Listen, Alabama ist immer der Magnet, sind sie nicht? Sie sind immer der Fokalpunkt. Ich verstehe das, obwohl sie kein Spiel mehr spielen. Indiana hat kein Spiel mehr zu spielen. Ja, aber sie haben Nick Saban. Sie sind gerade raus.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Well, right now you are going to have a playoff without them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
So, what in fact... Alright, number six, Mike.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Sie sitzen bei sechs und du nimmst die Top 3. Wenn Georgia Texas in der SEC-Wettbewerbsspiele wäre, würde Georgia da sein?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
I'm telling you how it shakes out. Georgia beats Texas. Is Georgia in? Since Indiana's not playing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Yeah, I agree with that. I agree with that. I won't even bring up the point of if Penn State beats Oregon, would Penn State be in, because they're not going to beat Oregon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Alright. I hope you guys have more teams, because you have not mentioned the Fighting Irish yet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Yeah, I mean, it's a big one for you. Number eight. Ohio State. The Buckeyes. Ten and two out of the big ten. Mike, we thought about Notre Dame here, but they just didn't have enough L-H-B-Y-C-L-T-P-T-F. Losses happen, but you can't let them plant the flag.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Ja, das ist wahr. Es gab viele Flaggen, die am Rivalry-Weekend stattfanden.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Ich habe gerade einen Schmerz.

GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Das wäre gut. Das würde ihren Ranking helfen.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Du hast mir zehn Teams gegeben, von denen eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf noch kein anderes Spiel haben. Ja, aber sie können nicht so viel bewegen. Yet Indiana, which doesn't have a game, is in your top three.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
They would remain 1-2 and Indiana would have to remain 3 because there was no one below them that won.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Wait a second. Did they hate the armed services anymore? We don't know that. Let's just let things play out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
So I guess if Army were to beat Tulane, they could technically move up to 3 and be in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Ja, ich denke, die Armee ist da. Hey, du bist gerade auf dem Spot geflogen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Ja, aber nicht genug, um reinzukommen. Wir werden sehen.

GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Wow. Ich meine, all das, was ich sagen kann, ist wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
You put Notre Dame in the 10th slot of a 3-team playoff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
I thought that was going to be Das ist das Größte, was wir gesehen haben. Wie weit würden sie Miami verlassen? Und sie haben Miami verlassen, wo die Kommitee sagen kann, dass sie in den Top 12 sind, aber sie sind wirklich nicht in den Top 12.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Weil diese gleiche Kommitee die Arizona State und Iowa State 15 und 16 gelangt hat, wissend, dass der Gewinner zumindest 12 sein muss, was Miami auslösen würde. Also effektiv hat die Kommitee Miami ausgelöst. Listen, Miami was living on the edge, right? It was two losses and hanging on by a thread in some other games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Now, Alabama's loss to Oklahoma was a bad loss, but this is where the SEC gets the benefit of the doubt. This is where the committee, they're human beings. And they're going to say the SEC is deeper, the SEC feeds on one another, so they get the benefit of the doubt. But in actuality, Alabama could get knocked out as well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
If Clemson were to beat SMU, and SMU did not fall out of the playoffs, Clemson would have to be in, and if SMU stayed in, so that would knock a team out, and then the winner of Arizona State and Iowa State would knock a team out. So it's possible 12 Miami and 11 Alabama could be knocked out. And let me just say,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
As a card-carrying Notre Dame former player and alum, I hope that happens, because the bracket right now shows Notre Dame hosting Alabama.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Hey, if that happens, I hope there's three feet of snow on the field.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Ich stimme vollkommen zu. Und du wirst tatsächlich sehen, dass die Elemente in der ersten Runde etwas sagen, weil du in den ersten Runden Spiele in Notre Dame, potenziell sehr kalt und schlecht, in Penn State, potenziell sehr kalt und sehr schlecht, in Ohio State, wahrscheinlich potenziell sehr kalt und sehr schlecht. The other one, if Georgia loses, probably Georgia would host a home game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
That obviously in Athens is not going to be as cold or as possibly snowy as the other three.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
You know, Georgia has not been impressive. Carson Beck has been playing better, but he was a turnover machine for a while. Their running game has not been consistent at all, and their defense is giving up points. So I think Texas can just score. When I say outscore, I mean they have the ability to put up in the 30s on Georgia, and I don't know if Georgia has the ability to do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
I just like Oregon. Oregon, it's going to be in a dome, on turf. It's going to be the way they like it. And what you said about Penn State, I think we kind of know how the story ends. They beat everybody else, but they get to that really good team and they falter. Though I completely agreed with James Franklin's
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Presser, when they scored that last touchdown against Maryland to win 5-7, of him saying, these are guys that are 3s and 4s. These are guys that are practice dummies during the week. Now, he didn't say that, but I'm saying that. Guys that are just show team guys during the week. They get a chance to play. You let them play football. Du weißt was, wenn du es nicht magst, dann stopp ihn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Und Maryland hat noch das erste Team da drin, also stopp ihn. Und er hat gesagt, und er hat recht, die Landschaft des College Football ist anders. Das ist, wie du gewinnst jetzt. Am liebsten hat er es ermittelt. Ja, du weißt, niemand will ermitteln, oh, schießt ein Team aus, es sieht besser aus. Er sagt im Grunde, schießt ein Team aus, es sieht besser aus. Und das ist die Wahrheit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Ich denke, ich würde ein Konferenz-Championschampions-Spiel ändern. Denn jetzt gibt es zwei Teams, die außerhalb der projizierten Top-12 sind, mit dem Gewinner einen automatischen Bid zu bekommen. In Arizona State oder Iowa State. Ich würde damit nicht stimmen. Und ich denke, dass ein Konferenz-Champions-Spiel mehr eine Ausstellung ist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Dolores and the Penultimate BCS
Aber auch eine Ausstellung ist ein extra Spiel, das du spielst, wenn du in den Playoffs bist. You know, like in Oregon and Penn State, why play an extra game if it isn't going to mean anything? But conference championship games bring in a lot of money, so they're not going away.

You would just, you know, what I would do is go away with the conference championship games, just do a conference champion by regular season and rank that way, because Sie lassen ein Team ein, das nicht deserviert ist, laut der Kommitee, nicht deserviert von den Top 12. Und sie werden ein Team gewinnen, das auch nicht in den Top 12 ist.

You showed more fight after the game than you did during the game.

It's funny and absurd. You guys watched it on television. I asked Billy, who's not the biggest hockey guy, did that come across like it was a good game? Because that's a classic Game 7. Battle it out. Every play feels like it's important.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
Was it a big game? Did it feel good? It felt like a big game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
That was a great sequence. Usually those first periods in Game 7 are tight, like one goal, right back at you, right away. Like, holy shit, we got the highest possible tension here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
panthers got a goal and yeah you mentioned the icing but that's part of their style it's almost as if like you remember the raven steelers matchups in the in the regular season and postseason where their styles of violence those defensive styles made for the one example where you'd be like i don't mind this rock fight here in this game and that's that's just your classic game seven but i was curious for the people that weren't huge hockey fans if that game drew them in at all because i think they understood the stakes
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
Yes. Stats when you get to the Stanley Cup final can be overrated in that you need to implement your will and your strategy to win at least four times. And you don't give a shit about how you go about doing it. You just need to achieve that mission. Panthers did it four times. It took them three times to win that fourth one. Well, four times won that fourth one.

Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
Ron alluded to all the hard work that goes into this, and that's the type of pressure cooker these players were in yesterday in Game 7. The spectrum was this, what you're seeing on your TV, jumping into the ocean with the hardest trophy in sports to win, or punchline forevermore. That transcends that sport and gets brought up every time someone is blowing a lead.

Don Libetard. Our Panther group chat, we're confident against the Lightning. This is a different team. You're a Panther group chat, though. No, but dude, you're so wrong on that.

They almost have to do it on Sunday because the hockey calendar is so weird. There's so much offseason stuff that needs to be done in the next 72 hours, and there's a draft over the weekend.

And I just wanted, I saw, I was so envious. I was so envious.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Big Friggin' Dave Bobrovsky
I was envious of the vibes that the Oilers fans brought into that game. And people were talking nonsense to me, and I couldn't muster up a comeback or anything like that. But I just wanted, if anything happens in this game, you feel how I feel right now. You feel that anger. You feel that despair. You feel like, oh my God, we're this close and it's not going to happen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Big Friggin' Dave Bobrovsky
I just wanted them to make them feel that. Yeah. And they felt it, and then they choked the game away, and they lost to a team that didn't play particularly well offensively in the biggest game. They didn't choke it away.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Big Friggin' Dave Bobrovsky
No, no, no. I'm saying like the vice-like grip that we had on that game. Like literally choked the life out of that game. That's what I mean.

I was shocked. Terrible job. Game seven. But that's a Panthers identity. We've said that aloud a bunch of times. Like, why isn't this goalie coming out? And it's because the Panthers are still occupying that neutral zone, and you can't guarantee that there's going to be zone entry from Edmonton.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Big Friggin' Dave Bobrovsky
Yeah, but in the neutral zone, though, like, they didn't get a rush going, and you have to hedge against, like, a breakaway going the other way. I understand why he didn't pull them. I think he should have pulled them. Obviously now. Yeah, there was a stoppage in play where he should have absolutely pulled them.

Because my soul left my body at that moment. And I got to tell you, there has never been an arena that needed the first goal in a game more than that building. Dude, there was no path to victory if the Oilers scored first. None. None. Negative aura, bad vibes, toxicity in our city. You guys did this before the game, too. They can say it now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
That third goal was the goal. No, no, no. The Oilers simply couldn't score first. Someone that was there, no one looked up. Oilers fans were feeling themselves talking all their garbage as they should have been because they were riding high. That was a nervous place.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
There was a lot of liquid courage that got people up for puck drop, but that place needed, needed the Oilers to not score first to come alive and realize that, okay, You know, this is just a fourth chance in four to get one. Let's do it.

You've got to let them have it. You got to let the Oilers fans have it, and you lay out. With the national anthem, bad job, too. But when she did the U.S. anthem, the Panther fans caught what had happened previously, and any time they started speeding up, they slowed it right back down to catch it.

What about that sequence right in front of the Panther net where there's just bodies on top of bodies everywhere? And Bob, in the middle of all of that, gets his fingertips on his blocker side to push the puck out. And it's not something that you caught in real time. You were just amazed that the puck somehow stayed out. That was desperation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

That should have been the tying goal. So that it's overtime.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
You were terrified the entire time because, as they showed in that game, the Panthers made essentially one mistake in that game, and they paid for it. They get a little sloppy with possession in the zone. And that's Tarasenko, by the way, the savvy veteran, gives a puck away and a 100-foot – Eklad was so far out of position.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
You do not give up a 100-foot pass for that opportunity, and you realize, oh my God, it's happening again. This team all of a sudden gets breakaways at will, and we can never generate anything. There weren't quality scoring chances by the Florida Panthers. They didn't, on offense, didn't exactly play well. This is the biggest game in NHL history.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
A game seven, they won the cup, and they didn't even really execute on offense all that well, but they did what they needed to do defensively. Maybe if they swept, you could really talk about this team as an all-time team because this was the greatest NHL season. The greatest path for any Panther fan. You go through your rival, as you mentioned. You go through Boston. You go through New York.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
You go through a cup-starved nation and their greatest player. Unbelievable run. And maybe, even though it goes seven, and they're going to be that stat that comes up with teams that blow 3-0 leads, they can still be talked about an all-time team because that was a murderer's row they went through.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
Mike, do you agree with Dan when he's saying he's not fearing McDavid the last 10 minutes of that game? Because that's the one guy I was fearing. I'm just telling you that for two games— Man, I was fearing Monmark. I know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
Quality backcheck. That's a Game 7 backcheck.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
Total cheating. I will tell you the only time that I didn't have fear was when 42 was on the puck. When he was defending an Edmonton Oiler that was rushing into their zone, 42, after coming off a nightmarish game, 42 bounces back. I feel so comfortable with that guy on the ice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

And there's been a longstanding theory in all these podcasts that I've heard that your top defenseman needs to be a bigger guy because of the war of attrition in the playoffs. He's not a bigger guy. He's been waived twice in his career. He's the greatest waiver claim in the history of that sport. And I felt so safe with him when he was on the ice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

And he didn't have to be the best goalie in any of the series. He wasn't the best goalie in this series as it played out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
No, no, he was phenomenal last night. He had three outstanding games. But you look at who he went through to get to that place. Oh, the murderous row of goalies. Vasilevsky, Swayman, and Igor Shosturkin. He's not. There's a gulf there. And it didn't matter because of how this team is constructed. Constructed. I love it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Around that big contract of his, and he's a champion forevermore, and everything that Zaz said about his jersey and Hall of Fame, all that is true now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
Yeah.

Spencer Knight was on the ice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
There's got to be a story there. You understand why Opozo's getting it before Ekblad. But I would have liked Ekblad, especially because the moment in that game, it maybe might have been the cheating from Brandon Montour as Dan highlighted, or the bodies on top of bodies in the crease. But I thought the 1v1, McDavid against Aaron Ekblad, who's...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
Played against Connor McDavid throughout junior hockey his entire life. He is not a great skater. There is such a wide gulf in skating ability on that 1v1. Eckblad stumbled with the cup. He almost tripped over the rug, right? He's not a great skater.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
That's not fair. I mean, he's had an injury-riddled career. Oh, and he was probably hurt there because his ankle probably swelled up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
Yeah, you're going to find out the injuries for all the teams, the losing team, and you're going to find out what's going on with Florida there. But for one moment, Aaron Ekblad was isolated with the game's greatest player, and he summoned enough effort to stop him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
They were due. I mean, fought it off.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
The fact that not one time this season did they lead headed into the third period and lose the game. That's right.

How about Kevin Stenland without a stick for 96?

Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
It's a bad luck. How? Jaguar came out for the last time. Look, I was there. There were a lot of Boilers fans out there waiting for that moment. McDavid should have skated out and done it for them.

They were pretty classy. They were pretty classy, all things considered. And they were out there specifically waiting. It was pretty cool because he didn't come out. They still stayed there because that's one of the great traditions in that sport. You want to see Lord Stanley no matter what. You don't know how many opportunities you're going to get to see it in your life.

It would have been nice for him to skate out and give the Oilers fans that came out in droves that moment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
Oh, yeah. Oh, he was plenty human. Five out of seven games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
I'm borrowing. I don't have a lot of precedent for a losing team in a game seven having a Conn Smythe winner on their team. There's no real protocol for this. I was just borrowing from the last time this happened with Jaguar against the Devils. He came out, and I think that if he could do it over again and give the Oilers fans that moment, maybe he'd reconsider.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
But that's the last thing he's thinking about there. I get why he did that. I'm just saying those fans that came out, and they were Legion, and it really set up for an amazing dynamic because most of them, they were in the lower bowl too, but it wasn't Rangers-level lower bowl. It wasn't Bruins-level lower bowl. They were pretty much upper deck was oil country, and to have –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
The dueling cheers and boos from the upper deck down was such an intense crowd. And that's why people call that the best two words in sports, because that was an atmosphere that I've never really experienced in my life.

I made an impulse buy on game time and I wanted to enjoy that with my wife no matter the result. And I told myself like right before skiing in game time because we were about to take my daughter to my dad's to watch her for us to watch the game. I said, you know, if my team wasn't in this, that's a place that I want to be. I love puck.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
I've been in an arena when they've handed that trophy out before and it's so cool. And I know it would sting like hell if this is the greatest collapse in pro sports history in a best of seven. But... Once you get some separation from it and that pain, if he comes back, it's the game's greatest player capping off the game's greatest comeback. And that's something that you have.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
And that's a conversation starter. That's whenever you get around with your hoes or friends, you get to say you were there. And on the opposite end of that is the franchise's first Stanley Cup. And it was beautiful, man. We wept. We celebrated with people in that organization. I got to tell you, I was really touched.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
I got a DM the second it hit triple zero from the dude that gave me my internship at a high school. His name is Connor Tennis, and I want to shout him out. That experience at a high school working for the Florida Panthers really shocked me.

Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
shaped me in a lot of ways because i went into a franchise i was undergoing a lockout and there were massive layoffs and it wasn't if we're not for that experience i wouldn't have valued the loyalty that i found on this show and the job security i had in this show so much i might have made different career choices had i not been granted that internship under michael yormark in the florida panthers and it was like it was a sweet emotional moment it's like after you have a kid you find yourself crying a lot for different things and i'm not sure i was crying so much for
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
for the fact that we had won the Stanley Cup or the fact that we had gone through this incredible journey. But it was an amazing outpouring of emotion. I was really happy for a lot of those people that have been with that franchise for a very long time, Dan.

Yeah, go ahead. One more, one more. All right. This is a depressing one, but hey, here's a headline. All right. The New Orleans Saints in the second round drafted quarterback Tyler Shuck, and he will likely be the last player born in the 1900s to get drafted. Wow. Wow. How does that make you guys feel?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
Tyler Shuck is 25, going to turn 26 in September. We're getting likely the last one to be drafted in the 1900s.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
Well, me and Stugatz are the same age, just asking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
That's a wide window. Is that a window? Yeah. That's a barn door. That's a tank. It's a tank.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
It's a pot of gold. I'm sure there's a no vomit clause in that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
It's almost like I think you know where I get some of the anonymous quotes and you read it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
Quintus gave me Josh Allen. Quintus gave me the old Huckle Buck. He gave me the old Huckle Buck.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
Just rank him number one and deal with it. I was waiting for Burrow or Mahomes, you know, somebody to make a little bit of an argument. Nope, he gave me Justin Fields.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
Let me see the printout. Let me see. Yeah, yeah. It just so happens that Justin Fields was number one. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
I'm going to go down one. A.J. Brown, four.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
Yeah, because he's not playing shenanigans to see where you have left at the end.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
Because I have 8, 9, 10 done. Who's 8, 9, 10? Because I thought it was number one receivers. I want to hear who Matt Golden is right ahead of. That's all.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
Second wide receiver take, and here comes Ted McMillan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
He's going to take a third wide receiver on a team of third wide receivers in Green Bay. Are you guys going to give me DJ Moore? I put him seven, I said.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
Yeah, I thought we were going to play. That's what we were doing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
And I'll make the argument if you give me Justin Jefferson to put him at two. There's only one, right? It would just be Justin Jefferson?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
I think it's a consensus at number two, by the way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
You know how I can tell how much I'm missing the football season is all I can think about is get the movers on to pick the games. Yeah, that's all I'm thinking about. But there's no games to pick. There's no games to pick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
Yours wasn't bad, Mikey, except for the Puka thing. No, except for Puka, but again, that's because I thought we were doing number one wide receivers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
Matthew Golden is included. Matthew Golden will be the number one guy. Matthew Golden is included in that. I don't think anyone said that. I can't wait for week one. Somebody is getting a text from somebody, depending on what happens with Matthew Golden. One catch for two yards, Fuentes is getting texted. Yeah, but God forbid he has five catches, 120 yards, and two touchdowns.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
We just finished draft weekend. Monday morning, I text Stu Gatz, hey, what do you want to do today? And he gives me the, hey, I'm flying. I'm landing at 10 a.m. I'll hit you afterwards. He hasn't texted me. It is now Friday. He has not texted me back. Well, I did Cody's show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
Through one of those giant windows that opens up the whole wall.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
So there we go. You're going to be just fine. Okay, so these anonymous sources are from AFC league execs talking about AFC teams about how another team did in the draft.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
okay okay so here is your first one quote they have a young gm who by all accounts would be more analytically inclined at his decision making in an organization that you think holds analytics in high regard and what do they do they do the opposite of the analytical decision by trading up to select a non-quarterback which team are they talking about this is a trick question can i answer i think this is a trick question i think i know the answer
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
All right. All right. Next one. This one's quick. Okay. Quote, the guy they took in the first round went a little early, but they basically said, F it. We're going to go get a big one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
The guy they drafted in the first round went a little early, but they basically said, F it. We're going to go get a big one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
Yeah, obviously. All right, here we go. All right. Quote. Their quarterback is going to have weapons galore. You don't have physical enough corners to cover two 6'4 receivers. Quarterback is going to have weapons galore. You don't have enough corners to cover two 6'4 receivers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
Yeah, but I let Fuentes keep doing Carolina because he said Matthew Golden was the number one receiver. That's fine. Week one, buddy. AFC.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
Are you guys trying to look up the heights of all, like while you're doing the Heming and Haw, are you trying to look up all the heights of all the wide receivers?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
Yeah, that's smart. Too bad it's only a four-minute segment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
I'll go a little easier here. I'm going to go a little easier. All right. Quote, I think they are raising the floor and do not need to be great at the position they took in round one. The quarterback makes up for so much deficiency. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady made up the difference for their teams too. I'm going to say the Buffalo Bills.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
No, no, that's bullshit. No, we have a singular winner, and it's Stu Goss.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
I meant the Chiefs. Yes, yes. Kansas City Chiefs. That's your winner. Stu Goss wins his first ever Anonymous Sources. First time ever. First time ever playing the game.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
Various contents or years of working with him. Either way, somebody hasn't gotten a book.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
He's paying for that himself. He's an adult. I don't know how.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
Yes, because it will affect the rest of the episode, or at least it has the potential to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
I'm going to go a step further, Billy. In my house, we try and live by the rule of if it's funny, you're not in trouble. Mm-hmm. If you're going to do it, if you're going to risk it all, make it funny. Come up with a better thing than you're going to have to wait longer. You risked it all for a throwaway giggle hang up thing. Do a little research. Have a little fun with it. That was terrible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
Really? Yes. Can I order it from the airport? Because that's like a happy meal that I mean, not the worst strategy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF - A Bone to Pick
Why did he have Shador's contact? It's weird. They must have taught. I don't know. That's weird. You're a defensive coordinator for a team that literally just drafted a quarterback last year.

Credit Is a Crutch—It’s Time to Walk Without It
Hi, yes, I had a question about my life insurance policies. I'm 70 years old. I have four whole life insurance policies, which three of them I would like to cash in. One I wanted to leave, so when I do die, it'll pay for my funeral. And I have no debt. Cars paid for, houses paid for, all that stuff. And I just, it accumulates up, the surrender value on those three policies would be $70,520.
The Ramsey Show
Credit Is a Crutch—It’s Time to Walk Without It
And I'd like to know, my insurance agent is trying to tell me not to cash it in. He says, you know, well, what about your daughter when you die? You want to leave her some money? But she's going to be sitting pretty anyway. Because she's going to get the money for my house and all that stuff, you know.
The Ramsey Show
Credit Is a Crutch—It’s Time to Walk Without It
I don't know. Good question. But like I said, the house is paid for. She'd still get part of my pension.
The Ramsey Show
Credit Is a Crutch—It’s Time to Walk Without It
I signed for that when I got it and social security.
The Ramsey Show
Credit Is a Crutch—It’s Time to Walk Without It
Probably around $2,200, $2,300. Okay. And then you'll have $70,000 if you cash all this in. What else do you have saved? I have three IRA accounts, two traditional IRAs, and one is a Roth. And then I have a couple of other Roth accounts with a different company.
The Ramsey Show
Credit Is a Crutch—It’s Time to Walk Without It
And what should I do with that money, though? I mean, can I put it into like a savings account? I'm sure I'm going to have to pay tax on it, right?

Credit Is a Crutch—It’s Time to Walk Without It
The three that I want to sell, I've been paying into probably for about 40 years.
The Ramsey Show
Credit Is a Crutch—It’s Time to Walk Without It
Well, yeah, but I just figured that if I cash it in, the surrender value on that is $7,800, but the death benefit is $11,450. So I figured that would be enough for my funeral and maybe a nice dinner afterwards for everybody. Yeah.

Hello. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Sure. What's up? Had a question about my wife and I are in a healthy amount of debt, and we're not sure if we should sell the house to get out of it to try and kind of reboot and start from ground zero. How much debt? Total is about 150.

Normal Is Broke and in Debt. Do You Want To Be Normal?
Hey, good afternoon, guys. Thanks for taking my call. Sure. I have recently, sadly, I guess, come into some money through an inheritance. My wife and I's plan is to pay off all of our debts. And even with that, we'll have some money left over. Wow. My specific question is we currently have a mortgage loan. That totals about $450,000.
The Ramsey Show
Normal Is Broke and in Debt. Do You Want To Be Normal?
$350,000 of that is a 20-year mortgage at 2.875%, and we have about 15 years left to pay on that. The other $100,000 is a HELOC. That's about 6% right now. We're going to have enough to pay off the HELOC and get the regular, you know, the, the first mortgage down to about $250,000. Wow.
The Ramsey Show
Normal Is Broke and in Debt. Do You Want To Be Normal?
My, my question is, and I've asked a couple of folks, I'm getting competing answers, so I'm hoping you guys were a tiebreaker. Um, I have the possibility of refinancing that, uh, to, you know, $250,000 balance to a regular mortgage at 6% but for 10 years.
The Ramsey Show
Normal Is Broke and in Debt. Do You Want To Be Normal?
So if I lower the pay, yeah, my payment's currently $3,300 a month. If I refinance, I can get that payment down to about $2,400 a month, and then I'll be able to actually put $1,000 per month towards the principal alone.
The Ramsey Show
Normal Is Broke and in Debt. Do You Want To Be Normal?
Well, with my income, I wouldn't be able to do that.

Hey, guys. How are you today? Doing well. How can we help? So... Pretty much I just kind of got hit with a baseball bat the other day with my wife telling me we needed to get a divorce. Oh my goodness. So sorry. We are, it's okay. I'm still processing it.
The Ramsey Show
You Can’t Win with Money if You Keep Borrowing It
We are 10 years. You got kids? Two kids, yeah. hmm i'm so sorry um but to say the least we are in a significant mountain of debt um and that includes our house and credit cards cars loans student loans um and we just don't see that i just don't see a light ahead of the tunnel um just trying to figure out You know, with her wanting a divorce, what is the best scenario?
The Ramsey Show
You Can’t Win with Money if You Keep Borrowing It
I mean, separate our finances, move forward, trying to pay off the debt and staying in the house until we can get some stuff taken care of.
The Ramsey Show
You Can’t Win with Money if You Keep Borrowing It
No, right now we're still in the house. I mean, I've talked to a few people and people have said, like, don't leave the house because, I mean, at this point in time, that's our greatest asset.
The Ramsey Show
You Can’t Win with Money if You Keep Borrowing It
There's so much that we put into this house right now, and that's a pretty significant portion of the debt outside of our mortgage. Is it a HELOC? Oh, personal loans? How much? So the HELOC is for $135,000. A personal loan is $49,000. What about the cars? Cars were at about, I would say, $120. Whose is whose?
The Ramsey Show
You Can’t Win with Money if You Keep Borrowing It
Mine's $70. Hers is about $40. So $110.
The Ramsey Show
You Can’t Win with Money if You Keep Borrowing It
Student loans. So most are hers. Some are mine. I think I have about, right now, about 18. And then she has close to 60 or 70. Okay. I didn't see their recent number yet, but...
The Ramsey Show
You Can’t Win with Money if You Keep Borrowing It
Both of our names are on the mortgage. I think her name's just on the car. My name's on the car. We do have individual credit cards. Okay. But then there's some that are jointly together.
The Ramsey Show
You Can’t Win with Money if You Keep Borrowing It
I mean, at this point in time, we're both working. So we total together, we make probably close to $350,000.
The Ramsey Show
You Can’t Win with Money if You Keep Borrowing It
And that's probably the most frustrating part because it's like when you hear that number.
The Ramsey Show
You Can’t Win with Money if You Keep Borrowing It
We should be doing better than what we are.
The Ramsey Show
You Can’t Win with Money if You Keep Borrowing It
Our biggest problem is, you know, just, She told me that about a week and a half ago. We're in our house right now that we have a mortgage on, but we want to keep the kids in the same school and rent, mortgages, any house at this point in this area. We're going to be paying almost twice the amount.
The Ramsey Show
You Can’t Win with Money if You Keep Borrowing It
No. I mean, our account's pretty much more times than not withdrawn. I just did our monthly budget, and we're at $20,000 in, $20,000 out a month.
The Ramsey Show
You Can’t Win with Money if You Keep Borrowing It
About 800. Okay. So that's the other problem, too, is that I think this probably contributes as a part of the divorce, but we are in the middle of a huge home renovation.
The Ramsey Show
You Can’t Win with Money if You Keep Borrowing It
We can't. Well, we can't even sell the house as it is. I mean, we have no kitchen right now. It's empty.
The Ramsey Show
You Can’t Win with Money if You Keep Borrowing It
I... I'm speechless probably as much as you are because I don't understand how we spent so much damn money on this.
The Ramsey Show
You Can’t Win with Money if You Keep Borrowing It
I suggested it, we tried, and she was pretty much like, this isn't working, so...

If You Live Fake Rich, You Will Become Real Broke!
Hey, how y'all doing? I got a good one for you.
The Ramsey Show
If You Live Fake Rich, You Will Become Real Broke!
So we COVID hit. We did a big remodel. It was about $100,000 that we've invested to create home offices. As a result, we kind of credit carded everything and We've been living paycheck to paycheck for a while, and I've just lost my job this week. We were trying to do a refinance, and that fell through.
The Ramsey Show
If You Live Fake Rich, You Will Become Real Broke!
And so long story short, we went from about $195K in income to about $65K and looking for advice. And we cannot sell the house because it's under remodel. We're not allowed to sell it for at least a year, and the remodel is not quite finished.
The Ramsey Show
If You Live Fake Rich, You Will Become Real Broke!
Yeah, it was extensive. We kind of expanded the second floor and just with the goal of ultimately selling. But it's obviously when I lost my job, it was kind of a deal where it kind of put the brakes on everything even more after living paycheck to paycheck. And so we're obviously doing it the wrong way. So looking for advice on how to get out of this.
The Ramsey Show
If You Live Fake Rich, You Will Become Real Broke!
Okay, so the mortgage is 202, and we have things like cars and credit cards, and a lot of that is just due to the remodel, but it's $210,000 and other non-mortgage debt.
The Ramsey Show
If You Live Fake Rich, You Will Become Real Broke!
They don't. Yeah, so the cars we're paying, one of them is $394. The other one is $380 a month.
The Ramsey Show
If You Live Fake Rich, You Will Become Real Broke!
Yeah, approximately $28 in total.
The Ramsey Show
If You Live Fake Rich, You Will Become Real Broke!
Well, so one of them is about $13,500. The other one's $15,000. Okay. Okay.
The Ramsey Show
If You Live Fake Rich, You Will Become Real Broke!
Well, unfortunately, we had like a foundation loan. A bunch of it's credit card. I have a student loan at about $20,000. And I think, yes, the rest of it is either small loans like through Home Depot or credit cards. Correct.
The Ramsey Show
If You Live Fake Rich, You Will Become Real Broke!
I am looking for work, but I'm going to work on some certifications. I took a job that wasn't ideal for obviously my career and skill set, and so that's something I'm going to be working on is some probably Azure certifications. Are they going to cost money? A little. The test, the actual certification exam is only $165. Okay.
The Ramsey Show
If You Live Fake Rich, You Will Become Real Broke!
I can. There are some sample tests and some certification videos that are very helpful, but it's minimal charges, if any.
The Ramsey Show
If You Live Fake Rich, You Will Become Real Broke!
Um... Well, I've applied for a bunch of jobs already. It's a matter of finding the right fit. I would like to focus on the skill set to some extent, but probably in two weeks I would be able to pass that certification.
The Ramsey Show
If You Live Fake Rich, You Will Become Real Broke!
I was at $130,000, but yes. Okay. Yeah.
The Ramsey Show
If You Live Fake Rich, You Will Become Real Broke!
Well, we had a small severance, but it was only $5,000. And so our current, just our debt load is like a little over $6,200 for the month. And so the money we've got in hand will not last a month.
The Ramsey Show
If You Live Fake Rich, You Will Become Real Broke!
Yeah, I had one job. I had one job where I picked up some work to do some light remodeling for a lady, and that was $530. So you're pretty handy? I've collected about half of that. Yeah, I mean, I'm doing the remodel myself, so yeah.
The Ramsey Show
If You Live Fake Rich, You Will Become Real Broke!
To some extent, yes. High levels.

Face Debt Head-On Before It Destroys Your Family
Hey, I'm doing great. Thanks. How are you?
The Ramsey Show
Face Debt Head-On Before It Destroys Your Family
All right, so around August last year, I finally decided to accept the fact that I found myself about, well, I'll just tell you, $11,660 in credit card debt. So I decided to put myself on a budget and start paying it off. I've made about $5,486 in payments toward that debt. Just about? Was that exact? Wow. Yeah, that was exact. And then it leaves me with exactly $6,173 in remaining debt to pay.
The Ramsey Show
Face Debt Head-On Before It Destroys Your Family
Is that all of your debt? Yes. Okay. So, and as I'm paying this off, I want to get more aggressive with it, but you know, I'll be honest, I'm, I'm really a little, um, worried about pulling money, um, away from a recurring retirement and savings contributions to do it.
The Ramsey Show
Face Debt Head-On Before It Destroys Your Family
I just wonder sort of what's your perspective on, should I stop paying my 401k to get that debt paid down as aggressively as possible? Or should I just continue on?
The Ramsey Show
Face Debt Head-On Before It Destroys Your Family
I contribute about $300 a month towards it.
The Ramsey Show
Face Debt Head-On Before It Destroys Your Family
So I make $81,000 a year. So I guess, I don't know, back of the napkin math, I'd say that's probably like 6%. You're saying $300 a month? 300 bucks a pay period. So 600 bucks a month.
The Ramsey Show
Face Debt Head-On Before It Destroys Your Family
Well, I actually was able to consolidate my debt into a 0% card. So I had some high interest debt that I've already paid off. And the debt that remains is one single amount on a 0% card. And that 0% goes until March next year.
The Ramsey Show
Face Debt Head-On Before It Destroys Your Family
Yes, I do. I've got about $3,000 in a brokerage account. $70,000 in retirement and $1,500 in my emergency fund.
The Ramsey Show
Face Debt Head-On Before It Destroys Your Family
Yes, I do. And I think I just needed to hear somebody tell me it was okay. Because, you know, I'm just very wary of liquidating that extra cash, but I totally see what you're saying.
The Ramsey Show
Face Debt Head-On Before It Destroys Your Family
Okay. All right. So I think I know what I need to do.

It’s Time to Grow Up and Own Your Life
We're both 21, and we have combined like $30,000 saved. We live really frugally. We're going to be paying for a $1,000 apartment. She brings in about $4,000 a month. I'm not working because I have one more semester left of school, and we made a budget, and we determined that it's going to be okay. I don't need to work until I graduate. So my question is regarding cars.
The Ramsey Show
It’s Time to Grow Up and Own Your Life
I have a car with 170,000 miles on it, and it's becoming pretty unreliable. She has a car with 120,000 miles on it, and I'm trying to figure out what we should do. Has the car been in the shop?
The Ramsey Show
It’s Time to Grow Up and Own Your Life
Uh... Quite a lot. I don't know exactly. I think it would probably be like $2,000. Have you soaked the money and now it's running? It's still running, yeah, but I have to replace possibly the catalytic converter soon. What's the car worth today? I don't know. I'm not sure. I looked it up online. It was saying about $3,500.
The Ramsey Show
It’s Time to Grow Up and Own Your Life
It's a Ford Fiesta. I guess my main concern is that the transmission might go out because— Yeah, we might get hit by a meteorite, dude.
The Ramsey Show
It’s Time to Grow Up and Own Your Life
I mean, I honestly don't hate it. I really like it. It's a good gas mileage.
The Ramsey Show
It’s Time to Grow Up and Own Your Life
Yeah, that was my, like, if the transmission goes out, I wouldn't be able to sell it. But if I could sell it now, I'd get money from the car.
The Ramsey Show
It’s Time to Grow Up and Own Your Life
I don't know. Trade it in and someone takes it. I wouldn't sell it myself.

This American Life
699: Fiasco!
It happened this year. I was asked to perform at a charity golf tournament in New Jersey. So I woke up for this charity golf event, and I have a... I realized recently that I'm not, like, a good adult yet. Like, I think if you're a good adult, you, like, plan your outfit according to what will occur when you leave the house. But I don't have that part of my brain.
This American Life
699: Fiasco!
I'm just like, one outfit forever! You know, and I... So I went and I played golf, and I brought my brother Joe. And Joe is kind of like a bad entourage member. He's never like, you're the man, Mike. He's always like, I don't know what Dad would think about this. Do you think they have any more shrimp? You know, that kind of thing.
This American Life
699: Fiasco!
But we showed up to play golf, and they paired us up with these two other people. And it was a celebrity tournament, and the people were like, who do you think our celebrity is going to be? And I was... I was like... And Joe and I were like, yeah, who do you think our celebrity's gonna be? And then I'm like, oh, no. I think it might be me. Yeah. And then, like, I'm apologizing to these people.
This American Life
699: Fiasco!
I'm like, I'm really sorry. I'm your celebrity. If you think this is disappointing for you, you can't imagine how I feel. So I'm, like, apologizing the whole day. And then at the end of the day, like, sure enough, my pants are all wrinkled. And I have to be at this... Perform at this semi-formal banquet. And I'm like, what about one outfit forever? I thought that was a good plan, you know?
This American Life
699: Fiasco!
And so... Here's what I do. As damage control, I go to the locker room to iron my own pants. And, uh... Yeah, it's a pretty good plan. And I find an iron, but I couldn't find a board, so I take off my pants. I'm just ironing them on a bench in the locker room in my underwear, which is a dead giveaway that these are my only pants. And...
This American Life
699: Fiasco!
So I'm ironing my pants, and I put them on, and I go up to the event. And this is where the trouble really begins. It's important for me, before I tell you this part of the story, to remind you that you're on my side. I said to the woman in charge, I go, what's the format of the show? And she goes, well, there's two speakers, and then you, and then a raffle.
This American Life
699: Fiasco!
And I was like, well, that's exciting, because I've never opened for a raffle. I'm trying to stay optimistic, you know, and I'm sitting in the back of the room with my brother Joe, and the first speaker comes on the stage, and he's an 11-year-old boy who survived leukemia. I know. He's not funny at all. He focuses primarily on the leukemia and everyone is crying. Literally everyone is crying.
This American Life
699: Fiasco!
I'm even crying in the back of the room for two reasons. One, the kid, and two, for me. Ah, because I have to perform comedy. And it gets worse because Joe leans over and he goes, this ain't looking so good, Mike. I said, I concur. The second speaker was Hall of Fame quarterback Phil Sims. And, yeah, he's got one fan here. Uh... But he's a broadcaster, and he gives an amazing, inspiring speech.
This American Life
699: Fiasco!
And he even sprinkles in a few jokes about golf. They were similar to jokes I thought of about golf that day. It was like watching the last drops of my joke canteen drip out onto a desert of cancer. And... He gets a standing ovation, which he should have. Clearly the show is over. Surely there can't be anyone more famous than Hall of Fame quarterback Phil Simms. But wait. There was.
This American Life
699: Fiasco!
It was Mike Birbiglia, who had no business being at this event. I know there are some entertainers who might have risen to the challenge, and I would love to be one of those entertainers, but I am not. As a matter of fact, I have a habit in my life of making awkward situations even more awkward.
This American Life
699: Fiasco!
Like, I've said this before, but a few years ago, I was moving a new bed into my apartment, and this woman who lived in the building opened the front door for me with her key, and she goes, I'm not worried because a rapist wouldn't have a bed like that. That's how she started the conversation. Now, what I should have said was nothing.
This American Life
699: Fiasco!
What I did say was you'd be surprised, and there's nothing you can say after that. You're just like, see you around the building, you know, that kind of thing. I've thought about this a lot, and I think there's something wrong with my brain where I don't have an on-deck circle for ideas. It's just, batter up, you know?
This American Life
699: Fiasco!
And a lot of the ideas are bad, and they're at the plate going, I don't know about this one, Mike. And I just turn into this drunk Little League dad. I'm like, you go take some cuts, son. As a comedian, when people laugh, it's very exciting. It's a very neat thing. And when they don't, it feels like you're performing jazz. Because they're kind of bobbing their head and looking to the side.
This American Life
699: Fiasco!
And sometimes that's okay. I'm like, I like jazz. But then I get worried because I'm like, sometimes jazz sucks. What if I'm the Kenny G of comedy? What if I think I sound like this? And in fact, I sound like this. So I'm on stage at the charity golf tournament, and I'm just Kenny-G-ing it up, you know? Just for ten minutes, just... Just blowing that horn, you know, and...
This American Life
699: Fiasco!
And I don't want to fail. I mean, that's a really important point in this story is that these are good people and I want to succeed for them, but I just can't, you know? And so I think to myself, why don't I cater my material to this specific event? And everyone has been talking about cancer. I know. I know. I'm in the future also.
This American Life
699: Fiasco!
I had that thought on stage for about one second, and then batter up! I said to the audience, a true story, I said, I went to the doctor and they told me there was something in my bladder. And whenever they tell you that, it's never anything good. You know, like we found something in your bladder and it's season tickets to the Yankees. That was the response I was hoping for.
This American Life
699: Fiasco!
At that point, I just threw in the towel. I mean, I was just devastated. I thanked the audience and apologized simultaneously, which I've never done. I was like, thank you, sorry for ruining your event. And I just kind of walked off. And I was so upset, and I walked over to Joe. And I go, Joe, we are leaving. Now. And that's when Joe said, and I quote, Mike, I can't.
This American Life
699: Fiasco!
They're just about to start the raffle. And because everybody laughed, my odds are amazing. Amazing. And that is the worst show I have ever done in my entire life. Yeah.
This American Life
699: Fiasco!
Ready, ready to the max. I'm sure. It's like really nauseating. Bark out. Gag me with a spoon. Gross. I am sure. Totally.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
I'm walking my daughter home from school, and my wife and daughter and I live in Brooklyn, and there's all these smoke shops there, and they have these cutesy names like Blazy Susan, and Yes We Cannabis, and my daughter Una looks up, she's nine years old, she looks up at the name of one of these shops, and she goes, Dad, what's the good life? I was like, I don't even know.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
It's not what I'm doing. But then it was one of those moments where I'm like, oh, I should try to explain drugs as best I can. It's like, well, you know, some people use drugs and they sort of make your brain happy, but it's sort of a fake happy. And you don't want to get too happy because then you've got to use more drugs to get it as happy as it was the first time.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
And then the eighth or ninth time, you're in real trouble. Anyway, Mom and I use them sometimes. Not often. Mostly when we were younger. Not your age, like three years older than you are now. But I use prescription drugs. I don't want to, but I have to because I have a serious sleepwalking disorder.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
The reason I bring up the sleepwalking is that 20 years ago, I got diagnosed with REM sleep behavior disorder, and they put me on Klonopin. And I recently went to a new doctor, and she's looking at my chart, and she goes, you've been on Klonopin for 20 years? And I go, yeah. She goes, all right. I was... That is not what you want to hear when you go to the doctor. I go, are you concerned?
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
She goes, well, do you know the side effects? I go, I don't know. She goes, depression, loss of memory, poor motor skills. I said, oh, I just thought that was my personality. It's a strange moment in one's life when you realize your personality is side effects. Because then I'm just like self-conscious about all my daily activities.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
Like one thing I do every night before bed is my dosage of Klonopin is one and a half milligrams. And so I have to break a pill precisely in half. Yeah. You know who shouldn't have a precision task like that?
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
Someone with poor motor skills because inevitably I break it in half and there's like a pile of Klonopin dust on the sink and I'm depressed and I'm crying into the dust and the tears are merging to form a Klonopin sorbet and then I lick up. what I perceive to be a half a milligram, but definitely isn't a half a milligram. So how do I explain that to my daughter? That's the good life.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
Yeah, that's what they say. There are so many things I feel like I can't explain to my daughter. Like, she's nine years old, and it's just getting harder and harder because when they're younger, it sort of doesn't matter. Like, they're an animated bag of rice, and you just got to make sure they stay animated. And then, even when they're toddlers, it's a lot of layups. What's that? That's an egg.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
I'm a genius, you know, but... And my wife doesn't know that much stuff either. She's a poet, I'm a comedian. Together we're a sculptor. We just don't know a lot. And it just started to become very clear to me about a year ago because I get a call from my mom. And she said, dad was sick this week and I tried to get him to go to his doctor, but he wouldn't go.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
And then yesterday he fell down in the bathtub and I called 911 and the ambulance took him into the ER and it turned out he had had a stroke. And I get off the phone, and I'm alone in my bedroom. And then I go into my closet, and I'm just sort of organizing things. And I just start crying alone. And my daughter, Una, comes in, and she goes, dad, what's wrong?
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
And that's when I realized... I can't really explain what a stroke is. I took a swing. I mean... I know the bullet points, you know. I go, it's a brain injury, and there's bleeding in your brain. And then it was a lot of free association after that, you know. I was like, it's your brain, you know, your brain is bleeding.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
And I'm not sure where the blood was, but I think it was like in the vessels. And they're sort of all in there, you know. But now it's just, you know, it's everywhere. I think. And maybe ask your mom about that. Yeah. Or grandpa, but not this week, you know, and... So Una goes, is Grandpa Vin going to be okay? And I go, I don't know. I'm going to go home tonight.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
So that night I drove to Providence, Rhode Island, to the hospital, and I take the elevator up to the eighth floor, to the stroke unit, and I see my dad, and he's just a shell of himself. He can't move half of his body, and he can't really speak. And the neurologist came in, and she goes, Vince! Vince! We're going to do a spinal tap. My dad happens to be a retired neurologist.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
So from the condition he was in, he suggested a type of spinal tap. He goes, guided spinal tap, which is impressive. but also a good example of how controlling my dad is. I'm watching a half-dead neurologist tell a fully alive neurologist how to do her job. I mean, that is next-level mansplaining. I mean, that is...
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
It was devastating seeing my dad in this condition because when I was a kid, I always viewed my dad as larger than life. He was almost like a mythological creature. In a way, I sort of wanted to be my dad because he knew so much stuff. He was a doctor, and in his free time, he got his law degree. Yeah. That's how much he didn't want to be a dad. He was like...
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
He was like, what could I do in these slots of time when I would be parenting? In fairness, we weren't great kids. We always wanted a dad. And he wanted another secondary degree. So our goals were at odds. My dad was a doctor, but I didn't really see him that way, you know? Like, every once in a while when I was a kid, strangers would come up to me, they'd be like, your dad is a great doctor!
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
And I'd be like, alright, you know. From Worcester, Massachusetts, that's how everyone talks.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
It's like, we don't, none of us fully understand what our parents do when we're kids. It's like, It was rare that I saw my dad as a doctor. I remember a couple times, I played soccer when I was a kid, I was the goalie, and one time I dove head first for the ball, and I got to it, and then the kid on the other team kicked my head. I know. With the intensity he had intended for the ball.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
And I don't know the rest of the story. But I have been told. And I hopped up and I was like, I'm good. And they took my word for it and they kept me in the game. And about 15 minutes later, I just wander off the field. Onto another field. My teammates ran over, they go, Mike, are you okay? And I said to them, and I quote, I go, what are we even doing here?
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
And my dad ran onto the field, and he picked me up, and he carried me off, and he drove me home, and he asked me all the questions that doctors ask their patients. What's your middle name? What are the classes you take at school? I was like, oh, okay, this is what my dad does. And then the other time, when it came up, is that I went to St.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
Mary's School for grade school in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, and every Friday night we had Science Club, which is kind of like a mafia front for a Catholic school. Like, we believe Jesus turned water into wine, and also there were dinosaurs, you know, and... So every Friday night, it's like a different parent explaining... what science has to do with their job.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
And one night it was going to be my dad and I was so nervous. I was like, what's he going to say? He doesn't know anything about science. And he came in and he brought his... medical tools, and he took them out one by one. He explained what each of them does.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
He took out a three-dimensional model of the brain, explained the hemispheres of the brain, and all these kids came up to me afterwards, and they were like, your dad is wicked smart.
This American Life

But how come he didn't explain any of that stuff to me sooner? because I just didn't see a lot of that. What I would see of my dad was he'd come home from work around eight o'clock at night and he would sit in the corner of the living room and read a war novel and scowl. And every now and then he'd sort of fly off the handle about some little thing.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
I spent my whole life looking for those keys. So we'd look for the keys and then my mom would just pray. She'd be like, I'm gonna say a prayer to Saint Anthony. I was seven, I was like, I don't think this is gonna work. We need more concrete tactics to locate the keys. My dad would not like that joke. My dad doesn't like a lot of my jokes, but he particularly doesn't like it when they're crude.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
And then also personal. And he doesn't like political jokes. As a matter of fact, when I was in my 20s, I was doing a political joke, and then we ended up having this discussion. from it about politics and it was tense.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
I was visiting him and we went for a walk on this wooded path behind his house and the farther we walked, the more tense it got to the point where he was just saying mean-spirited things about me and then I started saying mean-spirited things about him. And I got back to my car and I said, bye, Dad. And he didn't say goodbye. He goes, well, you've gone another way. And that was it.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
And I just drove home. And I just felt so adrift. You know, I thought my whole life I sort of wanted to be my dad, and at a certain point I decided I wanted him to be me. So I'm with my dad in March at the hospital, and it's devastating.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
I mean, if you've been with someone who's had a stroke, I mean, it's the worst thing you can possibly imagine, but I will say, if I'm being completely honest, it has calmed him down. Stay with me. Most of the jokes are for you, but a few of them are for me. This is a coping mechanism. I hope it is for you, too.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
I mean, most of the time, this is horrific, but then every once in a while, I'm like, where was the stroke when I was five? You know what I mean? Like...
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
Now he's like, keys. And I'm like, I can't say I don't prefer the latter. It is a little more polite. So I'm with my dad in March at the hospital, and then he can't even really move his face, and so the only way I can even understand his expression is through his eyes. And the expression in his eyes is fear. So how do I explain that to my daughter?
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
My first reaction was, okay, self-preservation. I'm going to get my passport because if that burns up, I'm going to stuck here. I'm going to get my trousers because, again, I don't look foolish waiting downstairs in my underwear. And then... I got my shoes. I ran outside and I ran so vigorously. I ran up against the wall and I got a burn, like a carpet burn, but from the wall.
This American Life
860: Suddenly: A Mirror!
And I really wanted to get out of there. He made it outside.
This American Life

I think, no, I think I'm definitely, I don't think I'm a hero.

361: Fear of Sleep
He just kind of jumps through stuff. So... I jump through the window and I scream, ah! And what was remarkable is that people with this disorder are incapable of doing things they couldn't do in their everyday life. It's like blacking out drinking where you don't feel any pain or inhibition. I jumped through a second story window and I landed on the front lawn of the hotel.
This American Life
361: Fear of Sleep
I took a spill, I got back up, and I kept running. And I'm running and I'm slowly realizing I'm on the front lawn of La Quinta Inn in my underwear bleeding. And I'm like, oh no. And it was one of those rare moments in your life. Where in retrospect, you're like, what the hell? And at the time, you're like, I guess I'll walk to the front desk and explain what happened.
This American Life
361: Fear of Sleep
Fortunately, the person working at the front desk was completely unfazed by what had just happened. It's three in the morning. The phones are ringing off the hook from people staying at the hotel who just saw the guy jump out the window screaming, I'm bleeding in my underwear. And I say, hello. Because as it turns out, you have to start somewhere. I'm staying at the hotel, credibility.
This American Life
361: Fear of Sleep
I had an incident wherein I jumped out of my window. I am bleeding, and I need to go to a hospital. And I'll never forget his reaction, because he just goes, huh. And I thought, this is the best possible reaction I could receive at this juncture. And so I drove myself to the hospital. I checked myself into the emergency room. I had to explain what happened three times.
This American Life
361: Fear of Sleep
You know, the nurse and the doctor in the front desk. I'm the Hulk, I'm the Hulk, I'm the Hulk. And... The doctor, God bless him, worked on me until about 5.30 in the morning, and he put 30 stitches in my arms and in my legs. And even he's an emergency room doctor, and even he was like, you should be dead. And I was like, no, you should. I zinged him. I, uh...
This American Life
361: Fear of Sleep
And then about 5.30, I drove back to the hotel, and I checked out, and I actually paid for the window like any good window jumper would. And it was $300 for the window and about $49 for the room. And... And I went back to New York and I did what I should have done in the first place when I saw the jackal. I went to a doctor who specializes in sleepwalk disorders.
This American Life
361: Fear of Sleep
So now when I go to bed at night, I take a very strong pill and I sleep in a sleeping bag up to my neck. And I wear mittens. So I can't open the sleeping bag. And... So in closing, I think that if it weren't for denial, I wouldn't be a comedian. Because to be a comedian, you have to go on stage those first few years and bomb. And then walk off stage and think, that went great.
This American Life
361: Fear of Sleep
Because otherwise you'd never get on stage the next night. You would just think, human beings don't like me. But sometimes denial can kill you. Thank you very much.
This American Life
361: Fear of Sleep
About seven years ago, I started walking in my sleep. And I would have these recurring dreams that there was a hovering insect-like jackal in our bedroom. And... I was living with my girlfriend at the time, and I would jump on the bed, and I would strike a karate pose. I'd never taken karate, but I had the books from Book Fair.
This American Life
361: Fear of Sleep
And I would say, Abby, that was my girlfriend, there's a jackal in the room. And she got so used to it, she could talk me down while remaining asleep. She'd say, there's no jackal in the room, go to bed. And I would say, are you sure?
This American Life
361: Fear of Sleep
And I would say, okay. And I would go to bed. knowing that there was a jackal. And that's trust. It was around that time I had a dream that I was in the Olympics for some kind of arbitrary event like dust busting. They told me I got third place, and I stood up on the third place podium, and I'm feeling good about myself. I'm new to the sport, you know?
This American Life
361: Fear of Sleep
And they say, you know, actually, we reconsidered, and you got first place. And I was like, oh, that's a marvelous promotion. You know, I got first place. I move over to the first place podium, and it starts wobbling. And it's wobbling and wobbling, and I wake up, and I'm falling off the top of our bookcase in our living room. And I land on the floor, hard. on top of our TiVo.
This American Life
361: Fear of Sleep
And it broke into pieces, and I'm disoriented on the floor. It's like one of these stories where people black out drinking, and they wake up in Idaho, and they don't know where they are, and they're like, oh, no! Hardee's! You know, or whatever's there. But it was in my own living room. I was just like, oh, no!
This American Life
361: Fear of Sleep
TiVo pieces, you know, and... And I went to bed, and Abby woke me up in the morning, and she said, Michael... what happened... to the TiVo? And I said, I got first place. And it's a long story. So at this point, I thought, you know, maybe I should see a doctor. And then I thought, maybe I'll eat dinner. Because that seems more convenient. And... But a lot of people would say this to me.
This American Life
361: Fear of Sleep
You know, my parents, you know, my dad's a doctor. He'd say, you know, you should really see a doctor. And I remember, you know, saying, you know, I'm really busy. And thinking these people were crazy, you know. Like, they don't know how busy I am. And so I never went to a doctor, but I did purchase a book by a doctor named Dr. Dement, which is not the most calming name for a sleep doctor.
This American Life
361: Fear of Sleep
But it's called The Promise of Sleep. And I learned... And these are helpful tips. I learned turn off cable news or the news before bed. Turn off your cell phone. Turn off the internet, your computer. You know, don't have big meals, that kind of thing. And I came across... in the sleep disorders, a disorder that resembled symptoms of mine, and it was called REM behavior disorder.
This American Life
361: Fear of Sleep
And people who have this have a dopamine deficiency, and dopamine's the chemical that's released from your brain into your body that paralyzes your body when you fall asleep so that you don't do what's in your brain. LAUGHTER So I thought, maybe I have this. And then I thought, Maybe I'll eat dinner. And so I never went to see a doctor until about three years ago.
This American Life
361: Fear of Sleep
I was performing in a college in Walla Walla, Washington. I'm a comedian by trade. And I was staying at a hotel called La Quinta Inn. And some people correct me. They go, no, no, no, it's La Quinta. And I'm like, that's not fair. You can't force me to speak Spanish. And... I fell asleep watching the news. And it was sort of a story about war and something very chaotic. And I fell asleep.
This American Life
361: Fear of Sleep
And I had a dream that there was a guided missile headed towards my room. And there's all these military personnel in the room with me. And I jump out of bed. And I'm like, what's the plan? And they say, it's come to our attention, the missile coordinates are set specifically on you. And I thought, that's very bad. Because, you know, I don't have a plan for that one. So I decided to...
This American Life
361: Fear of Sleep
to jump out the window in my dream, and as it turns out, in my life. And there are two important details. One, I was on the second floor of La Quinta Inn, and two, the window was closed. So I jumped through a window like the Hulk. And I say that because that's how I described it at the emergency room in Walla Walla, Washington. I was like, you know the Hulk, you know?

So... You know, I... I just, yeah, I don't know. It's just, it's kind of one of those things that I don't have an answer. You know, I try my best, but I don't always do my best kind of thing. It wasn't pre-planned. It wasn't done in a way to be nefarious. It wasn't, I'm going to tell this guy, I'm going to do this in this sprint. It wasn't done in that way. It wasn't done that way at all.

You know, it's just, I don't have anything else like that that I can definitively say affected me the way that this had.

What are the odds that the day after I see him and you're listening to his song? No, you didn't see Andre 3000. Honestly, the odds are really good because it means he's in the area. He lives here.

I saw, nope, I saw Andre 3000 and I was listening to Miss Jackson and he was jaywalking and he was wearing a blue hat and glasses and it was the coolest thing I've ever seen. You're fucking lying.

A lot of times it doesn't tell you what song it is. You just hear a sound to a cool edit. Now I have to go do some detective work to figure it out. I think TikTok should implement a feature that just says open in Spotify. So it recognizes what song is playing. It takes you straight to it. You can jam out to it. Add it to all your playlists. Ich denke, das wäre großartig. Ich liebe das.

I was an outsider and I didn't feel comfortable going to the class. So I just started really racking up absences quick. And it got to the point where it was just like, I think I... I don't think I would have been able to pass, even, just based off of, like, you haven't been to 60% of the classes. And so she made me write an essay for every class that I missed.

Will & Rusty's Playdate
I used pull my finger to save my relationship
I was thinking, if I was doing that, everyone in my life would know. And the fact that you were just doing it in secret makes me question everything I know about you. How often are you doing good deeds in secret? Not enough. You caught me on a good day, I guess. My friend saw Will and I was like, why don't you just go say hi? And she was like, I don't think he knows who I am.
Will & Rusty's Playdate
I used pull my finger to save my relationship
I was like, yeah, that's why you go say hi.
Will & Rusty's Playdate

So I'm like, I'm not going to, what do you want me to say? Like, I'm going to listen to this later? When someone sends me a song and I don't have time to listen to it, I go, excited to listen later. Can't wait. I don't know. Because I trust you. Trust your judgment. I just don't. I don't listen to songs, or sorry, I don't respond to texts very well.

Like it sounds like it's about to explode. And I was like, I don't got anything to do today, I can go check that out. Which I shouldn't have, I should have gotten it checked out much earlier. Like it sounded like it was going to explode at any second. And I pulled into the mechanics shop and I walked in and they were like, pick it up or drop it off.
Will & Rusty's Playdate
I used pull my finger to save my relationship
They're all like real mechanics, like cool, cool, like real. Like a big tattoo of like a bird on their shoulder. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, they all had that. And I was like, I just have...
