Always a pleasure, guys and gals. Take care.

I have no answers for any of those questions, brother.

What is David doing? He brought in the all-stars.

Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
In a temporary office situation that we have here, we had a little bit of mold and asbestos in our administration building. So they had to mitigate the situation, so to speak. So we were exiled. And thankfully, the Zoo Miami Foundation has been very generous and put me here in a corner of the building where sometimes it gets a little loud, but it's a nice alternative.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Thank you, David, for throwing me under the bus. Listen, I'm very appreciative that I at least have this room. I could have been outside on the grass under the rain, so I'm happy.

Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Way too tall. I had a breakfast that I attended with the mayor this morning. Whoa! No, it wasn't just me and the mayor. It was me and a lot of people in the mayor. But it was just one of those breakfasts. You know, I try to be respectful when I attend those power breakfasts, so to speak. Billy Corbin there, too?

They met in the village?

Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Yep, that's the official start of really winter in South Florida, and that's telling you how late it's coming. Generally speaking, it was always judged by the turkey vultures that come to the courthouse. These vultures all come down here for the winter. They're coming up from up north, they migrate down, and they look for high buildings to perch on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
There was a big issue at the courthouse for a long time because they released a lot of fecal excrement that kind of stained the windows and made the courthouse look like a snow-covered mountain there for a little while. But this is a cyclical thing that happens every year in South Florida. Originally, like I said, was the label of the start of winter in Florida is when you see all these vultures.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
You know, people who go down to, for instance, Everglades National Park, there's a huge problem. What the hell is Samson doing? Picking his teeth?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Talk about my cluttered office and you're picking crap out of your teeth in front of me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Anyway, back to the vultures. They will go down. For instance, if you go to Everglades National Park during the winter and you park your car, let's say, down at Anhinga Trail, you'll see a bunch of tarps that the National Park Service provides for you to cover your car. Please use them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Because the vultures down there will literally strip your windshield wipers off and then strip the rubber seal all around your windshield and windows on the vehicle. Nobody knows why they do it. It seems like it's part of practice for them, kind of like... stripping hard skin off of dead animals to start their feeding.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
But it's a big problem that the National Park Service has been facing now for several years. So these vultures, you know, they become quite bold. They can be a little bit destructive, though they play a very important role. Let's face the facts. They take away these decaying dead animals that can spread a lot of disease. They have a couple of gross habits.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
I mean, one of the grossest habits that vultures have is to cool themselves off. They literally poop all over their legs. So then they crap on their legs and as it evaporates, it cools them off. That's part of the way to cool them off.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Another really kind of unfortunate habit that they have is if you corner them, instead of trying to peck you, what they do is they projectile vomit to you, like an exorcist type thing where it just comes out. And, you know, vomit by itself is already bad, but vomit of decaying dead animals that they have been eating, that'll make you an instant gag reflex.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
They have a lot of natural tolerance, natural resistance to all the bacteria and infective elements that are found in dead and decaying animals. But they pay a very important service to us. I mean, I don't want to go out there and have to pick up that raccoon off the road. If the vulture is going to eat it, it's a win-win.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
No, it'll never take you, David. They don't want anything to do with anybody live. They will fly away. You won't be able to even get close to them. They're up on that balcony on the top floors there because that's where they're safe from any predators on the ground, cats, dogs, or anything like that. So that's a natural instinct. Plus, also, they really don't fly well until they get the...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
You know, the thermals. Yeah, they're gliding, Ron. I see them glide. That's right. They glide. As a matter of fact, just recently something happened that is a phenomenon. It doesn't happen all the time, but it has happened in the past where they just rescued like 40 vultures out of the ocean, out of the bay, because they were flying and using the thermals.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
And then there was a big temperature change. All of a sudden came in the front. The thermal disappeared and all the vultures literally plummeted to the ocean. And once they hit the water, they couldn't get out of the water again. Several of them drowned. Several of them were saved.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
But this is a phenomenon that happens rarely, but it is an incredible phenomenon when all of a sudden all these vultures just fall out of the sky.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Well, the fact of the matter is it's illegal to purposely feed wild animals. Well, that would not be a legal thing for you to do to bait vultures with something out there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
If a raccoon happened to die on the 36th floor of wherever you're staying and was on the ledge. Oh, heck, I think putting your camera there would be cool as heck.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Turkey vultures, there's also the black-headed vultures too. There's two species that we find down here, the black-headed vultures and the turkey vultures. Okay. Initially it was just turkey vultures, but now we're seeing a lot more of the black-headed vultures.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
And what you see the most is if you drive down the turnpike and you drive some of these landfills, the dumps, you'll see them like by the 100s. flying over the dumps looking for food.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Oh man, I guess, you know, people who throw out rotten food from their refrigerator, you know, that they're spoiled. That's the ultimate buffet for these vultures. The worse it smells, the more rotten it smells, the more delicious it is for them. And also, you know, understand when meat rots, it becomes much more tender, so it's easy for them to eat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Where are the olfactory... Oh, if you look at a vulture's bill, you'll see they have a very large nasal opening that actually can go all the way through. So their sense of smell is phenomenal. Having said that, they also depend on each other. Because once a vulture has pretty decent eyesight, they see a bunch of vultures circling over a certain area.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
They go, hey, hey, hey, something happened over there. We've got to get over there. So that's when you see them all start congregating and circling.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Look at those nasal openings, guys. And look at those things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Listen, I'm going to go not with David, but what's that? Ethan?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
I'm going to go with Ethan. He's got less facial hair. There's less obstruction to go through. Ethan kind of looks a little bit like a young David Cassidy. A young David Cassidy? Ron called you a young David Cassidy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
I think he does. A little bit like a young David Cassidy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Ron, stop. Stop.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Okay. Yeah, I figured. He's too young. That's a compliment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
David Cassidy got it done.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Come on. Excuse me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Understand, understand they're flying into windows because they don't realize the windows there. What they're seeing is a reflection of the habitat behind them. So they just think it's continuing and they think it's another bird in front of them until it gets too close where they can't stop. There's another bird here, but I'm not stopping. You know, I'm catching up to him. I'm catching up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Oh, gee, it's over. OK.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
That is a good point. That's a good point. But the bottom line is, yeah, the window situation is because the window is reflecting the sky behind them, and they think the sky is continuing, and it's not until it's too late, and that's why they hit the windows.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
They would only do that if you tried to grab it, if you tried to bother. It's a matter of self-defense. They don't do it like, oh, this is my everyday thing. Let me just projectile vomit on your car for no reason at all. No, that's not what they do. Vultures are actually pretty clean animals, believe it or not. And the role that they play is so important, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
I cannot tell you the diseases they prevent from spreading just by what they do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
It's uric acid. It's the bird's form of urine. The white is the uric acid. Birds don't produce fluid urine. Same with reptiles. You know, if you see an iguana poop, you'll see this big clump of brown, which is the fecal material, and it's surrounded by some white spots. That's the uric acid material. So that's the urine phase of things like birds and reptiles. So you're very smart in that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
So when people say I just had bird shit. I can't see Ethan's face. If you light up his face. Take your hat off, Ethan. Put it side by side.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Take the hat off. Come on, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Come on, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
And he's got the hair thing going for him, too. He could feather that hair out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
Brother, let me tell you, back in his day, David Cassidy was...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Thong Sandals, Uric Acid, and Evolutions (feat. Ron Magill)
A remarkable thing. You know, I think you guys should stay away for a while. You guys are pretty good. Thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Alan Alda is a legend. He's a freaking legend. What was his nickname?

You guys are killing it.

Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
I was born and raised in New York City. My father was Cuban. My mother from Colombian descent. My first language was Spanish and I purposely forgot Spanish. I was like, yeah, yeah, I purposely forgot it because I just thought that was that was like a bad label for me because it gave people a reason to make fun of me. Right. I never played a sport in my life.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
We were never enemies. Tony and I were never enemies. We were competitors.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Well, I'm no longer playing basketball, which kind of sucks. But, you know. Listen, I wanted to stop before I ruptured an Achilles, blew out a knee, did something that would be horrible to try to recuperate from at my elderly age.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Well, I'm going back to the Galapagos in May, which is going to be a great trip. The Galapagos is always a great adventure. Then I'm taking that big expedition to Australia in June, where we're doing the documentary with WPLG, you know, Christy Krueger. And then I'm taking the family to Patagonia, Chile, Argentina, the glaciers, everything out there in October. So it's a busy year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
birthday birth week birth month what is guys guys i prefer not to celebrate the day at all oh i know we can tell my wife put together and in hindsight i'm really glad she did because some of my closest friends were there and i didn't think all these people would travel from different corners of the place to uh to come to this wonderful get together we had and i felt very privileged that i had so many good friends there so i was a great surprise but normally i don't celebrate my birthday i don't
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
I think once you get over 40, those birthday things are done.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Yeah. I missed it by half an hour, Mike. Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Well, you know, then what? I'm six or five, whatever that's going to be. Not the math.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
OK, it wasn't until in high school that the coach put me out of the hallway and said, hey, Ryan, you're going to play basketball. I laughed at him. I said, have you seen me walk? I mean, come on, it's ridiculous. And we went to the tryouts, you know, you go to the tryouts and then they'll pin up the people who make the team on the list. And I go up there and then I see my name on the list.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
So, Mike, let me ask you something. What does the fact that the largest shark that has been tagged as off the coast of Florida mean anything? Has anybody proven that that largest shark has done any damage to anybody?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
You know, Mike, you look at things through such a different lens all the time. You need to take the fogging off the lens. Australia is an incredible country. It's a great country. It's got phenomenal wildlife. Yes, seven out of every ten snakes there are deadly. But how many people come across them?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
I'm probably going to get out of the water.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Well, what does that reflect on? You know, I'm so sorry she lost her hands. But listen, common sense just isn't common anymore. And I don't know what's happening in this world. And I think a lot of this stuff is being driven by the stupid social media.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Don't get me started in the social media with these people putting their backs to alligators to take selfies, trying to pet a freaking bison in Yellowstone. I'm tired of stupid. You can't fix stupid. The way you fix stupid is you get rid of it. And some of the animals are doing it for us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
This is a classic example of how social media has driven people to stupidity.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
I see these guys who didn't make it. And then I'm ridiculed even more.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
I do remember that. You know, I became kind of a really bad guy there for a while because back in the Chupacabra, I wish you wouldn't be phrasing things like several decades ago. It makes me sound like a fossil. But having said that, you know, when the Chupacabra craze started, It was all fun and games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
And then all of a sudden, people started having rifles on their front porch and in the front of their house. And they were ready to shoot the chupacabra. And that's when it became dangerous. Listen, we got the skunk ape. We got Bigfoot. None of these things have ever been accused of harming anything. We had the chupacabra that was now killing livestock. It was killing animals.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
It was sucking the blood and sucking the organs out. People were afraid. And that was stupid. And this was all just playing on this fictional character that came up. I said, hey, listen, don't you guys find it coincidental that chupacabra is only found in Hispanic neighborhoods? Is it a racist animal? Why is it only going to the Hispanic neighborhoods? Why isn't it found anywhere else?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
I got there because I was tall, you know, and... And I went to the coach and said, Coach, you're killing me. I don't even want to be on this team. It's just making things worse for me. I don't forget what he told me. He said, at the time, because I was so tall, he said, Ron, you can't coach height.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
And where's the proof of this stuff? And then when I finally proved it, I said, listen, you know what? The next animal that the chupacabra kills, did you guys say, oh, look at the chupacabra did here. It sucked all its blood out, took all its organs out. I want to take that animal, live on television. We brought it on the new news live.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
We cut it open at Jackson Memorial Hospital doing an e-cropsy. And guess what? It was full of blood. It was full of its organs. And it showed that the two little bites on its neck were not a vampire, but a dog that had bitten it and strangled it and killed it that way because that's what dogs do when they become feral. All right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
And then all of a sudden, all the people that were making money off of selling the bumper stickers about the Chupacabra and selling the T-shirts of the Chupacabra and the radio stations that had all the lyrics and schticks going on, all of a sudden started losing all of their little clicks and attention because the Chupacabra was proven to be false. That's a great story.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Live on the 12 o'clock news. And one of the reporters got sick, vomited when we cut open the goat and she saw the blood and the guts come out. That's great television. Great television, Ron. It was great television. It was pretty tough, but it proved to these bulls who were all caught up in this, oh, my God.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
You know, I remember when I first went out there, the police were out there, the news stations were out there, and I said, oh, no, no, this is dog. These are all dog tracks. And then, you know, una abuela, she was over there on her porch. She goes, no, no, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
and all the cameras went right to her because here's this you know well she's saying she's saying in spanish that the thing had giant wings and was breathing flames like yes that that probably was Ron. Yeah, well, they captioned that on that. That came on the news and they put the little captions. So they subtitled for her about, oh, my God, it had the red eyes and the big wings.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
And I saw it fly away myself with my own two eyes. It exists. So who's not going to believe Grandma Abuelita? OK, instead of the goof Ron McGill from the zoo who's trying to. Put some common sense into people. But no, common sense doesn't sell bumper stickers. It doesn't sell fear. It doesn't sell T-shirts. So that's what they went with. That's the society we live in today. That's right, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
That's right. Close your eyes and shake your head. That's the society. You probably contributed to that crap. You probably would be one of the big Chupacabras. He definitely did. I remember.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
I'm going to take the time and invest in you. And that coach, he's probably the single most important person in my life outside of my immediate family.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
It would have to be something in the ocean, because we have not been able to explore the ocean. I mean, we've done some minor exploration, but when you think about the capacity, the size of the ocean, the depth of the ocean, places that we have not been able to go, I wouldn't be surprised for some mythical beast, if you want to quote-unquote face it that way. Megalodon?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
existing existing down yeah existing down that low um you know and a place that still has yet to be listen we know less about the ocean than we know about the moon guys so in the ocean i would have a much broader open-mindedness regarding you know a mythical creature that could possibly still exist there
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Horrifically tragic. I feel terrible for that person. But anyone who goes to Africa, at least any responsible tour operator, makes it very clear. You sign a waiver that says, listen, you're going in with dangerous animals. Again, guys, this is not the safari ride at Disney. You know, Dan knows that. Well, Dan's been next to me. Well, these animals come right next to us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
If you don't act properly, if you get charged, these are things that can happen. Now, Dan's probably thinking back, hey, Ron, why didn't you tell me this could happen back then? I did tell you that could happen. Probably not going to happen. But it's a risk we take. It's a risk we take when we get in our car every day. We drive to work.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
How many people are getting killed every day on the road in car wrecks?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
The sharks biting people. They deserve it. Dan, why would you attack them? Animals are defending themselves and defending their territory.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Sharks are invading our land.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
If it had to be any animal, it would probably be one of the big cats, a tiger, a lion, because it just bites you in the neck and it's over very quickly. Is that over quickly? Listen, let's talk about something better. Hey, Mike, how about those cyclones, brother? Yeah. How about those cyclones?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
I did not watch yesterday. We got a dub. We won.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Those guys were rocking. Listen, you did a great job in that draft, brother. Those guys came back. They broke it all down. The Cyclones are for real this year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
The left turn was sports, was getting to be accepted into society. When I was a kid, there was one show, Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. And there were two co-hosts in that show. There was a guy named Marlon Perkins and another guy named Jim Fowler. Jim was the guy who did the crazy stuff. I mean, Jim was jumping out of helicopters on top of caribou.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
It's fantastic to watch these guys play because finally they're playing some offense. Instead of this volley back and forth, wait for somebody to make a stupid mistake, these guys are starting to take chances. They're going in at it. I love it, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
I'm going to lean towards cruelty.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
So that's cruel. It is. It got a little stress there. And any time you stress out an animal for the sake of humor, I call that animal cruelty.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
These are turkeys that are kind of going after each other as part of this whole.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
It's just, it's turkeys, turkeys do these things. That's not animal cruelty. That's actually kind of funny because that's nothing that was inspired by us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Hey, send me that graphic, man. I like that graphic. Thanks for working on that graphic. I like it. Send it to me so I can save it for my scrapbook. Thanks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
You know, continue walking. It's not a fatal peck, probably a little startling, but I'll write a memo and address the issue and see if we can have some kind of disciplinary action against that bird.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
He was rappelling down mountains, grabbing condors with one hand. I'm like, that's what I want to do. I want to be that guy. And when you have a job, if you love doing what you do, you're really not going to work.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
That's usually what happens when these whales beach themselves. There's something wrong either physically with them or something in the environment. It's almost like it's almost like a form of suicide in a way. And, you know, it's a tragic thing. But these these beachings with whales have happened across the millennium and nobody really knows why. A charming dismount.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Thank you so much for that happy note.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
And I mean, that's the reason why I've been at the zoo for over 44 years is because, dude, I, you know, when you get paid to do things that people pay to do, you know, I just got back from two weeks in Africa. I mean, I've traveled around the world.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
It's true. I was literally at the zoo, as a zookeeper, walking in the... Normal day. Normal day, and I was doing, I think, a presentation about an animal. And this guy, Don Francisco, who I don't know who... I have no clue who he is. Right. He comes up to me in this kind of a heavy accent. He goes, I would like you to be a macho. I said, okay, well, what's your show?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
He goes, I have a show called Sabado Gigante out of Chile, and I'd like you to be on my show. I go, okay, it's in English, right? He goes, no, no, in Spanish. I go, well, I don't really speak a lot of Spanish. He goes, no, no, I teach you. And nobody in your family spoke Spanish? My father and my mother always spoke Spanish, so I heard it, but I didn't speak it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
I literally put it in the back burner. And he goes, I'll teach you. I had no idea what this show was. I got home, I told my parents, I said, listen, this guy Don Francisco, Don Francisco? Don Francisco, this guy is like the number one Hispanic television star in the world. And I'm like, what? So he invites me on the show. I don't even remember, I tried to do some research on the show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
There was a whole lot of internet and stuff back then. And the thing comes across to me like a combination of Let's Make a Deal, The Gong Show, Oprah, Phil Donahue, and some other crap I'll put together in one, three hours. of insanity, insanity, okay?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
There's a bunch of girls out there, they're doing the coochie-coochie dance, and there's stuff going on in the show that would never pass on American television. You got women that are really very- Scantily clad. So it was just one of those things where I'm like, oh my gosh, But that guy became the greatest mentor I've ever had when it comes to television, when it comes to the public.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
And he taught me something that's so very important, and that is never take yourself too seriously. And there's so many of us, even in my profession, especially in my profession, where they get all hung up on things. You know, one of the things I've learned on Dan's show is that, man, you gotta learn to laugh at yourself, man. Because if you don't laugh at yourself, you're not enjoying life.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
And Don Francisco told me that. He goes, look at me, Ron. Every Saturday I go out there and I make a total jackass out of myself. And it's true, he did, he put on these goofy hats, he do these stupid dances. He looked like an idiot, but he was making people happy. He always wanted me to kiss the models. He had the models coming, I go, no, no, no, I always show my ring. I say, no, no, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
And that was part of the shtick. How did you, again, not speaking Spanish, go to an all-Spanish show? He would talk to me and wait for me to screw up. I would say a word, I would never say it right, and he goes, que que, que que. And that became part of the shtick of the show. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
¿CÓMO ESTÁ, DON FRANCISCO? ¿CÓMO ESTÁ, RON? ASIENTO, POR FAVOR. ¿EN QUÉ PAÍS EN EL MUNDO TÚ PUEDES ENCONTRAR FLAMINGOS Y PENGUINOS EN EL MISMO LUGAR? CHILE, GALÁPAGOS Y SURÁFRICA. CHILE.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
YO QUIERO PREGUNTARTE ALGO. UN DÍA YO PUEDO VINIR A ESTE PROGRAMA Y ME HABLAS NADA MÁS DE LOS ANIMALES Y NO DEL ESPAÑOL MÍO, POR FAVOR. Yo tengo como 25 años viéndolos pelear, a ellos dos. 30 años estoy hablando. Y la historia continúa. 30 años y todavía. Tú recuerda, cuando tú me conociste, yo sabía dos palabras, sí y no. Y mira cómo lo estoy hablando ahora.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
He would tell me after I started improving my Spanish, he would literally say, don't improve it too much, I'm not inviting you back. The stick of the show is to make fun of your Spanish. And he would go afterwards, he'd go in his dressing room, he goes, I saw it. He goes, that's what we want to do. We want to have that kind of rapport back and forth.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
For me, I guess the most special place is Cuba. the homeland of my father. I went back there doing some conservation work.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
against the uh backlash of county officials who gave me all kinds of about it and i was very thankful um to a herald uh columnist who defended me fabiola santiago defended me she said he's going there for conservation conservation's you know the animals in cuba are not democrats republicans they're not political they're part of the heritage of all of us anyway to make a long story short i'll never forget i go into little havana i'm walking down the streets of little havana people are yelling my name tony from the balconies
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
People are coming down the stairs and they're coming and they're giving me food they don't have, Tony. They're offering me things that they don't have in their own house. They just want to take a picture and I go, And they go, I go, They got this whole business over there, Tony, where they had these thumb drives.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
And these guys are like little blockbuster video stores, little incognito in the corners, where they have the thumb drives, where these people are like pirating the show. They get it to these guys, and then they rent out the thumb drives, and people watch Saba de Grande every Saturday, part of La Paquete. It's all over Cuba. I mean, when they say the Cubans resolve, resuelve. Resuelve. Resuelve.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Always. I mean, it's unbelievable. I look at the cars. I remember the old cars. I'm going, oh, my God, that's beautiful. Classic. What happened? Let me look at the engine. I open up the hood. It's like a lawnmower engine. Exactly. Put together with rubber bands and paper clips from all kinds of different engines. These people are so ingenious in what they do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
It was so rewarding to me because I got to be honest with you, Tony, I've never been to Cuba. And I remember my father, who had since passed away. thinking he was New York. When I went to New York on the little Cuba, that's the way he spoke. When I went to Cuba, I realized, no, he was Cuba.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
I saw my father's face in every one of those faces when they came to me and said, oye, hermano, como esta, compadre, all that stuff. These are all the terms my father used to use. I said, wow, this is where my roots are. Here, Tony, they would invite me into their little bodegas and give me food and they would not take my payment. I had to throw the money at them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
How can you do that when I know you're starving? When you have nothing. You have nothing. You have nothing. And that makes me proud. Makes me proud of my heritage. So that's probably the most meaningful to me now. It's the most surprising recognizability of the sábado que gata show. That guy, Jim Fowler on Wild Kingdom.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
And he's the one who taught me all this stuff. And of course he was a huge international star. So I asked him to go down with me to Panama to work on this Harpy Eagle project. And we had to go way into the rainforest in the Dariang, which is on the border of Panama and Colombia. It's not a very safe area, but it's an incredible forest. A lot of people. Exactly. A lot of bad people.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
So we had to take a dugout canoe for four hours down the river to get to this village of these indigenous people. I mean, these people living in the forest. No electricity, no nothing. Women, bare-breasted, stuff like that. So I got the GPS to go there and Jim's with me. After four hours, we finally get to the riverbank where the village is and the chief comes out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Guy just in literally a loincloth. He's wearing nothing else than some beads. From a movie, just the same thing he's seen in a movie. Comes up, he looks at me and he goes, And I'm not, now I'm sure I'm being punked. Now I'm sure. Where's the camera? Where's the camera here? What's going on here? And Jim looks, oh, come on. I'm the one who's being punked here because Jim's the international star.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
And I paid this guy to do this with Ron McGill and who's Jim Fallon, right? And I realized, and he goes, and I go, how do you know him? We walk with this guy into the village, and as we're walking in the village, they got a television set up there that's rigged in one way or another to a car battery with a satellite dish.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
And they rig it in such a way that every Saturday, it was like movie night for the entire village, Sao do Higano. Oh my God. Tony, one of the greatest rewards I've had in my career was they couldn't believe that I was there because they see me on this show. And then I said, let's make a video, you guys. And when I got back, I showed it to Don and he put it on the show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
And they saw their own video. And to this day, that village is the most famous village in Panama because those are the indigenous people that were on Sao do Higano. Wow. And it was just... And it was a great reflection on Don Francisco, too, because he said, this is what my show is all about. This is what my show is all about. And this shows you how we can connect.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
So for me, listen, dude, I had such a surreal life. I say this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
I'm not saying that to blow smoke. But Tony, except for you kicking my ass in basketball. But anyway, other than that, the bottom line is, if I stepped out of here and died, No one should shed a tear for me because I have lived way beyond any dream I could have ever imagined. I've got an incredible wife, incredible kids, incredible friends. You know, I say it, I've said it on the show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
All right, coming in to meet the legendary Tony here at the legendary Arbetters, baby. Tony, three-point Tony, man. How you doing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
My favorite saying in the world is that life is not measured by the number of breaths that we take. It's measured by the number of times your breath is taken away. Yeah. Breathtaking moments define the quality of your life. Thank you, man. Thank you so much. All right. Hand me a hot dog.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Did you pay for it? I spent a lot of time here, man. High school days, this was the stomping grounds. We'd come in here and we'd rag on the Columbus guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
I'll tell you, it's not good for my mental health. It's not one of the things that I supported. They asked me to make the recording. I will say that you're being a little bit extreme in that, you know, I don't say that you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I don't think that's what I said.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
well yeah well anyway i think basically what we say listen please don't feed them because they have a very specific diet and by feeding them something that's not on their diet can get them pretty sick um so that's what i say and i do say it in my uh both languages even though my spanish is a little bit to be left to be desired um having said that that loop only happens when people move in front of it it's set up by a motion sensor so it's just uh it's not playing continuously around the clock that the chimps have to listen to it god forbid
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
I don't do it. It's been put on the shelf. The only way I will ever do it is if Dan Levitard asks me to do it for something for him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
That presentation now is part of the Dan Levitard show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
And it does on occasion happen. I will say it does on occasion, but rarely happens. It's just a wonderful adaptation, Dan. It's a matter of survival. It's a matter of growing up in an environment that you adapt to. These animals, if you looked at their hooves, their hooves are almost like pointed. So they are able to actually grasp the tiniest little ledge and they are able to survive that way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
I mean, this is how they escape predators, things like leopards and other carnivores. But I will say that I have seen an occasion where they lost footing and they died.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
I don't know that's possible. I do know that it does happen. But the fact that nature is a circle of life and the ones that don't succeed, they become food for something else. But again, these animals have adapted to an environment that enables them to do things that are absolutely incredible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
Well, I'll tell you what, Dan, I looked at, you know, when I looked at that video, it reminded me of another one, which is probably the most jaw-dropping video I've ever seen. I'm sure you guys can find it. Find a snow leopard actually going after one of those animals and getting it and both of them plummeting down well over 150 feet against the rocks and surviving. Watch that video.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
It is one of the most incredible videos I've ever seen of an animal defying everything to survive. Except it, of course, didn't because it ended up being killed by the leopard. But look at the leopard never letting go and plummeting down on these rocks hundreds of feet down a sheer cliff. Unbelievable.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
okay another thing that's unbelievable look at the golden eagles grabbing grabbing chamois which is a type of antelope grabbing them babies that are twice the weight of the of the of the darn eagle now look at this watch this oh my gosh this is unbelievable now it's going to grab and and then when it grabs it they both plummet look at now watch this watch this go get away wait get him get him get him get him get him get him get him is this the one this isn't the one this isn't the real good one but why
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
Now, this isn't the real good one. There's one that it's like death for sure of this snow leopard grabbing a sham. But no, that's a crappy one. There's a much better one. But look at the golden eagle.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
It was bad for the snow leopard. But here's the deal. Look at the golden eagle.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
Look at a golden eagle grabbing an antelope, and then it's too big for the golden eagle just to kill the antelope. So what does it do? It grabs it. It weighs more than the eagle, flies way up in the air, and then drops it to its death so it can eat it. It's unbelievable stuff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
Okay, this is the one right here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
Look at this. Watch this. Watch this. Don't believe me. Watch this. Goes across the cliff, grabs it, and then, look at this! Look at this, Dan!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
It's not over. It's not over. It's not over. It's not over. Watch this. It's not over, brother. Boom. Boom. Oh! Boom.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
I mean, this is unbelievable. And he doesn't let it go. Come on, Dan. Come on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
Watch this. Grabbing the chamois. I'm glad you guys find this stuff. And then it takes it up in the air. It flies with this thing. It flies with it. Look at this. And then it'll take it to its death.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
Everything's got to eat, Dan. And you've got to think of how incredible animals are to adapt to get their food.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
You're showing me a video where the iguana didn't get away.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
It's basically stupid pet tricks. The dog's been taught to take something that the owner gives it and to present it to someone else.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
Yep. You are correct. Thank you. That dog has been trained to give whatever the owner gives it to the person, and whatever the person gives back, back to the owner. Exactly. It's not counting the change.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
No, I'm staying. Those people can wait. Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
I just got back i just got back from the galapagos islands on a yacht uh doing galapagos cruise this is a while after and there was a flipping gym on that yacht can you believe it is this another one of these paid for trips that you've embezzled from the endowment absolutely yeah
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
I'm going back to the Galapagos in May and then to Australia in June. Nice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
The dog's been taught to take something that the owner gives it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
Professional broadcaster.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
Let's go. Please again. The dog's been taught to take something that the owner gives it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
He sounds so indifferent. The dog's been taught to take something that the owner gives it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
The dog's been taught to take something that the owner gives it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
I hate onions, any kind of onions. Onions and pickles, totally out of my league. I won't eat them. I hate them, and they're disgusting. It's minus pickles and onions for anything I ever order. Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
I'm going to give a presentation right after I have the pleasure of speaking to this wonderful crew. What will you be presenting? I'll be presenting on Pride of the Lion.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
Yes, I'm doing a presentation for the Broward Public Library System up in Broward County this afternoon. Do it until you're satisfied.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
This female lioness is trying to get the lion's attention. This is actually her way of getting attention. She wants to be bred, actually. See how she's raising her tail, raising herself, putting right in front of him like that? She's kind of getting his attention. She'll probably end up coming back again. But this is just basically they're kind of a little bit of a foreplay thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
And, you know, the female basically runs the show when it's that situation going on. Once she's in the total peak of her heat, they'll breed every 20 minutes for about three days.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
um the shaw is jurid it's a little rodent it looks like a gerbil does it about every 20 seconds do it till you're satisfied yeah and often but never but never satisfied but not exactly because in that 20 second interval it has to have a few seconds for recovery so it's a very quick thing i mean it's you know yeah same with me it's not something that you know maybe some of you guys are used to but
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
Somebody's being stupid for a selfie. I don't know what she was doing there. She's got a sandwich.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
Well, this is a problem with people probably feeding this cassowary on this beach. And this cassowary now associates people with food and is looking for the food. And this woman's running away and the cassowary's going after her because he wants the sandwich. And they all think it's cute until somebody gets disemboweled.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
Well, it is, but you're already at the point of no return, okay? So this is a situation where now you've either, you know, this cassowary's already been acclimated to associating people with food. Damage has already been done. Now you're in a situation where you've got to protect yourself, get the animal away from you. Ron, is that related to the ostrich? It's got to be, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
It's a type of, you know, of a... you know, a flightless large bird. I don't know if it's quite in the rat-type family like the emus and the rias are, but it's very similar, I guess, in structure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
That is correct. The ostrich is bigger, yes. But this one is more dangerous. Oh, yes, because it can be aggressive. This one will feed on, you know, on a lot of different things, including small animals. So it has a very huge middle claw that it will kick with and will disembowel you. The ostrich is the most dangerous bird in the world to humans.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
No, the ostrich is a finely tuned eating machine. They'll eat everything from, you know, metal screws to ping pong balls. But they're not as voracious a feeder as the cassowary is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
Not really, no. I mean, it may do so, you know. on a whim, but it's not the mainstay of its diet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
No, it puts almost anything into its mouth. You know, people who keep them under human care, the big challenge they have with them, there you see the claw of that cassowary. The big challenge people have keeping ostriches is, you know, keeping them from eating things that they're not supposed to eat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
I mean, we've had ostriches in captivity that we have found everything, like I said, from screws to springs to coins in their bellies.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
I agree with you, 100%. Yes, that's kind of like a, you know, it's modern-day Velociraptor type stuff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
Oh, a bull, 100%. There's no question about it. Keep in mind, a bull is not a predator that feeds on carnivorous things. The bull is just being aggressive, trying to defend itself. He's got two horns, as opposed to a whole set of teeth and ten claws, and both of those animals that are born killers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
You did, and I got to tell you, Billy, I ran across you, and I cannot believe that you produced such an absolutely gorgeous baby. That is one of the most gorgeous babies I've ever seen in my life.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
I'm just pretty amazed because I'm sure you guys have seen this kid. This kid, and I'm not a big, I usually think that most babies look like lizards that need to be put back for the cooking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: THE RETURN OF BACK IN MY DAY! (feat. Ron Magill)
I got to tell you, Billy's little girl was one of the most precious things I've ever seen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
I think it's kind of interesting, actually. You know, I was approached on this project a while back, a long time ago, and I would not do it because I didn't think I could do it. When they told me, well, we'll talk to Greg about it, and I said, if Greg's willing to do it, but Greg's got a lot on his plate. To make a long story short, it's a book on sex and the animals. But it's going to be more...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Es wird mehr ein Fotobuch sein. Es wird viel weniger Druck auf Greg geben, so viel zu schreiben. Er wird schreiben. Verstehe mich nicht falsch. Er wird die Narrative darstellen. Aber die Bilder werden der Faktor für dieses Buch sein. Es wird also nicht ein Buch sein, das du für deinen Kindergarten bekommst. Da ist er, anders als in The Pride of a Lion.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Ich gehe morgen zu Books and Books, weil ich 770 Bücher mehr verkaufen muss, die gerade verkauft wurden. Wow, das sind viele Bücher. Ich weiß.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Hey, ich will euch was sagen, Leute. Wir hatten gerade unsere silent Auction, richtig? Bei der Feast of the Beast. Das war eine der Sachen, die ich gefilmt habe, eine Fotografie von Quasi.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Nein, ich habe es gefilmt. Was für ein wunderschöner Lion. Und dann, natürlich, der Buch. Und ich wurde besonders gefragt, es mit einer besonderen Dedikation zu signen, also habe ich eine große Dedikation da drin. Okay. Wow. Weißt du, wie viel diese Leute für das Fotografium und das Buch bezahlt haben? Ich würde gerne wissen. 5.000 Dollar.

Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Mekos sind meistens nicht so nah am Meer. Sie sind eher ein Deepwater-Schark. Das ist ein Tiger-Schark in diesem Video. Das ist kein Meko. Das ist ein Tiger-Schark. Aber ich verstehe den Effekt, den du hier geben willst. Oh mein Gott, Scharke. Jeder wird sterben.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Und jetzt ist es etwas, worüber ich mich kümmern muss. Zuerst einmal, Mike. Aber der Fakt ist... Du bist jetzt sehr laser-fokussiert auf Scharke. Jeden Tag, wenn ein Scharkeinsatz kommt, willst du dich vorbereiten, auf dem Levitard-Show zu kommen und mich überlegen, wie Scharke das Ende der menschlichen Rasse sein werden. Und du bist so weit von der Wahrheit daran.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Du bist so negativ über ein Tier, das so nötig ist für den Ozean, was in der Tat nötig ist für unsere Lebensqualität. Und ich sage dir einfach, hör auf, stopp es, Mike, stopp es. Scharke sind weniger gefährlich als das verdammte Auto, das du zur Arbeit fährst.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Well, because he's being tormented. Can you see how the guy is grabbing the thing's snout and he's trying to get the thing to bite so he gets a good video, so he gets a lot of clicks on his stupid social media platform? Did you see that shark attacking anything? No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
The shark was actually kind of laying back until the guy taps it on the snout and puts the freaking surfboard or whatever he's got there in his mouth so he can get a good video for social media. Another freaking idiot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Listen, I'm done. I'm done with these social media idiots who do whatever it takes for clicks at the expense of an animal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Nein, sie versuchen keine Drogen zu machen. Was sie tun, ist, dass sie das Ding verspüren, das die Zerkretion ist, das eine Abwechslung für Insekten verursacht und sie rütteln es auf ihre Haare, um die Moskäden von ihnen zu fressen. Okay, sie werden nicht hoch, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Sie machen es tatsächlich, sie fressen es, weil wenn sie es fressen, das Anthropon, das Millipede, das Zerkretion, das dann als Abwechslung für Insekten verwendet werden kann. Also fressen sie es, sie essen es nicht, sie werden nicht hoch, aber wenn sie es fressen, dann rütteln sie das Millipede über ihre Haare, um die Zerkretion auf ihre Haare zu bekommen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Es ist fantastisch, wenn man sich darüber nachdenkt, wie klug dieses Tier ist, um die Biochemie eines anderen Tieres zu nutzen, um es gegen Moskädebisse zu verteidigen. Wir sollten alle so klug sein, Mann.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Nein, sie werden nicht hoch aus dieser Chemie. Wenn sie genug dieser Chemie ingestellt hätten, würde es sie wahrscheinlich töten.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Well, they continue to put things in their mouths. I mean, all the time. Indiscretionary diet is what I call it. You know, anybody like, I had a miniature Schnauzer. God, my God. As a matter of fact, I'm going to tell you what just happened. This is the God's honest truth. My daughter just got off the phone with me. She has a miniature Schnauzer puppy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
He's now, well, now he's now about four months old. And last night she brought him back from his walk out in Los Angeles, okay, in Studio City. And he just started... He started looking like he was sick. He started losing his balance. She was all worried. He started looking like he was going into a coma. She immediately brought him to the veterinarian. You know what happened to that dog?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
He was chewing the remains of a doobie that somebody threw out on the street. He got chewed on marijuana.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
No, he just... These freaking dogs put everything in their mouth. And he literally got high. It got to the point where my daughter thought he was going into some kind of neurological... Backlash. And the vet took it and said, no, this is... And the vet told her, we get four or five dogs coming in every week that do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
That either lick the ash that's left from a marijuana cigarette or actually the stub itself. They chew on it and they get freaking sick and high.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Du machst mir Spaß, wenn du das Wort Doobie nennst. Sie benutzen das Wort nicht mehr?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Well, first of all, we learn what they eat. We learn that they prefer certain types of grasses, certain types of foods. We learn what other species they hang out with. What's the environment they hang out with? What animals might be leaders? Is it a herd reaction to things or are they individual reactions to things? Wie sie sich verteidigen, wenn ein Tier getötet wird.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Was tun sie, um sich zu verteidigen? Wir lernen über die Verhältnisse und auch über die Grenzen. Wie viel Raum braucht ein Tier, um gut zu überleben? Nicht nur überleben, sondern auch in einem natürlichen Umfeld zu wachsen. Diese Kameras bieten also viele Daten. Viele dieser Kameras haben auch Komponenten, die uns das Wetter, Temperatur, Humidität, Regen, all diese Sachen geben.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Wir wissen also, welches Umfeld diese Tiere suchen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Ah, they might have hated the music, but they were looking for the bunny, if you know what I mean. Okay, we don't know what you mean.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Das ist genau, weshalb es den Bursche-Bird genannt wird. Es nimmt das Tier und verwendet einen Spitz auf einen Kaktus oder einen Zwiebeln, um es zu töten. So kann es nicht kämpfen und es kann es immer essen, wenn es will.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Oh, I mean all kinds of animals. I've watched leopards make a kill and they would immediately rip out the intestines and the internal organs of that prey and they bury the internal organs so they can take the prey, the rest of the prey up to the tree.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
But it's the internal organs that give off the most smell and they don't want to have to draw in hyenas and other animals that will try to steal their prey. So they do that. Now, as far as tactics for eating, like you see this butcher bird doing things, there's a vulture that loves to eat ostrich eggs, but can't get into the ostrich.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
So what it will do is it will find a rock, it will fly up really, really high and it's able to literally put itself right above that ostrich egg and it drops the rock so the rock falls and breaks the ostrich egg. Come on, that's really cool stuff, man!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Oh yeah, there's an eagle that will take a baby chamois, a chamois, which is a type of mountain goat, and To kill it, it grabs it, flies up with this baby chamois and drops it along the mountainside so it careens along the rocks and it gets crushed that way. And then it could go down there and feed on it without any resistance. Really cool stuff. I mean, hideous, but cool.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Well, they're going to see things on the big screen there that they have either thought about doing or have done, but they didn't want to tell anybody about it because they thought it was weird or it was kinky. But in fact, it's pretty natural because you're going to see how the animals do it. Listen, guys, if you're coming here to... Be enlightened? Well, you're gonna be very humble.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
It's gonna be a very humbling evening for the guys. You're gonna see penises bigger than you've ever seen in your life. You're gonna see animals doing things that you wish you could do. Ladies, you're gonna wish you were an animal in a lot of these cases. The bottom line is, it's a very graphic... I don't use any bad language. Aber es ist eine sehr grafische Fotografie.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Ich habe Kameras, in denen sie noch nie vorgegangen sind. Ich bin auf meinem Rücken unter dem Rhino. Nein, nein, nein, der Rhino war nicht auf meiner Seite. Ich bin auf meinem Rücken unter den zwei Rhinos, damit ich die richtige Perspektive bekomme, damit die Leute es in der richtigen Weise sehen können.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Okay, die Leute wollen diese Art von intimen Sachen sehen, auch wenn sie es nicht admitieren wollen. Du willst es sehen. Und nach dieser Nacht wirst du es niemals nicht sehen können.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Es ist nicht eine gute erste Date-Nacht, unless sie wirklich einfach ist. Aber es ist eine gute Date-Nacht. Es ist eine tolle Idee. Hör mal, du wirst lernen, wie die Zwiebel die Dinge machen kann, mit ihren Vulven, ihrer Vagina. Sie kann es literally, sie macht dieses winkende Ding, das ist unglaublich. Hör mal, ich habe meine Frau gefragt, ob sie das machen kann.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Original hat sie gesagt, es wäre unmöglich, aber sie macht Prozesse. Es ist der Art von Ding, es bringt ein ganz neues Niveau, ein ganz neues... Es ist eine tolle Erfahrung, Mann.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: "Sex and the Animals" Returns (feat. Ron Magill)
Take care, guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Oh, yeah? You're going to give me a snowball? Take this! How about that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
And that's a grackle that's trying to harass it and just being annoying like many birds can be sometimes. But that's a baby copy bar, which is really cool. It's the world's largest rodent found in, you know, tropical America and actually eaten by many people because they consider it a delicacy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
A big adult, over 50 pounds. Oh.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
I think the point is, what are you doing out at 4 a.m. in New York?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
My guess is that he just doesn't sleep because I get texts from him and emails from him at 3.45 a.m. I don't know what that is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
They're called a frog mouth. You know, it's a. Yeah, it opens its mouth. The beak is actually very small. The keratin part of the beak is very small. They blend in with trees really well. That's not a good example because he's on a fence post right there. But they just will stay totally still on the top of a tree or a fence post, something like that. And they look like a piece of wood.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
They're fantastic. They feed primarily on insects. They're harmless. They can't do any harm to you. But they open their mouths when they're threatened like that. tend to make people think twice before you get much closer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Have you seen those in the wild? I have. I have, yeah. It's just most people don't see them because they blend in with their surroundings very well. This guy's really standing out because he's not in the best spot to use his camouflage. But like I say, they're primarily nocturnal. They're insect eaters.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
They open their mouths widely like that to catch flying insects as they're flying through the air. That looks like something that a cartoonist would draw. Well, you know, let me tell you something. You look at some of these animals. I don't know if you guys saw that video. I'm surprised you haven't pulled it up yet of that deep-sea anglerfish that they found. They videotaped it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
It was on the news. It was unbelievable. This thing looks like a drawing out of your worst nightmare, and it's a living, breathing thing on this planet. You know, normally found thousands of feet below the ocean's surface, but they got some incredible video of one that had come up to the surface and was swimming around.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
You guys need to find that and look at it and tell me if it doesn't look like something that was drawn by some kid who's having a massive nightmare.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Aquarium? Where did that just hit? Oh.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
That's not a shark, first of all. That's not a shark. What is that? That's a find. You know, I don't know exactly what it is. These days, I can't even tell whether the stuff is AI or not. But I can tell you that's not a shark. Because a shark grabs somebody's head like that, and there'll be a lot of blood coming out. So that's not what that was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Looks like it might have been some type of grouper, some type of, you know... Goliath group or something like that. But I don't actually know. To be that size, yeah, it needs to be something like a Goliath grouper. And I'm just actually thinking that that's AI, guys. I don't believe that video.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
I saw the video in action, too. But Mike, man, I've seen some videos done by AI these days that are just... Even I as, quote unquote, an expert of wildlife will look at it and go, God, what is that? I mean, is that real? And then I've got someone admit to me, no, no, it's AI. We did it in AI. I go, man, this stuff is really good. So I don't know what to tell you guys anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
I don't know whether that's real or not. It's certainly not a shark. If it's anything, it's like a Goliath group or something like that. But I've never... Trust me, if a fish took in a woman's head like that, she would not be swimming away like she did like that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Hate the damn things. Think they're bad. You know, Mike, you've got to stop perpetuating that myth about sharks. I just got back from the Galapagos Islands. I was swimming and was surrounded by about 20 hammerheads just circling above. Not doing anything. I was in pure awe of watching this, looking up and seeing these rays of sunlight come through these sharks as they just...

Denk daran, Dan. Wenn wir das mit dir auf dem Film hatten, würdest du ein Multibillionär sein. Das würde so viele Hits bekommen. Diese Leute sind jetzt berühmt, weil dieser Vogel sie berühmt hat.

Ich weiß von einem Tod mit einem Kajak, der viele Jahre her war, der nicht geschliffen wurde, aber das Hecht auf ihm aufbrach. Und das hat ihn leider getötet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Ich meine, es ist überlebensfähig. Die meisten Leute würden dir sagen, wenn ein Hecht dich in den Mund nimmt und dich ins Wasser bringt, wäre das nicht überlebensfähig. Und dieser Kerl ist noch nicht weggeflogen. Also es ist überlebensfähig, aber es wird sicherlich, ähm, du weißt, es wird ekelhaft sein.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Ja und nein. Sie sind unglaublich intelligente Tiere. Sie sind bewusst von ihren Umgebungen. Ein Vogel könnte möglicherweise weggeholt werden, weil sie manchmal in Sequenz brechen. 1, 2, 3 und sie genießen es so viel, dass sie es für irgendeinen Grund nicht merken. Oh, der dritte, da ist ein Kayaker da oder da ist ein Boot da. Wir haben das auf ein paar Ebenen gesehen. Es ist extrem selten, dass
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
It kind of is. I mean, I'm his dad first more than anything. I'll try to give you an honest opinion. I think he's a Ich denke, er ist ein geistiger Künstler. Ich denke, er kann Dinge sehr gut machen und hoffentlich hat er das auch für dich gemacht. Aber ich bin mir sicher, dass er ein bisschen nervös war.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Ich meine, du weißt, wenn du rausgehst und dieses sehr momentöse Abenteuer filmst, was historisch war in einem Sinne, und du weißt, hier hast du diesen Jungen, der seinen Rookie-Shoot für das Dan Levitart-Show macht, das ist wie, weißt du, es ist wie, wenn du auf den Berg kommst und dann plötzlich verlierst du. Du willst das nicht machen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
So, we'll see what happens, but I have confidence that he could do a good job. I know what he's capable of. He's helped me win multiple awards in some of the videos that he's done for me. So hopefully he's done the same for you. But again, I'm nervous, I'm a little apprehensive. I'm hoping for the best as my son, but at the same time, he's got to come up to the plate and produce or bye-bye.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

My wife's name is Rita and it is a happy anniversary. Thank you so much. 36 years, that feels like it was just yesterday. Why are you guys laughing? What kind of cynical screw-up did you guys do back there? He called Rita Rhonda.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Actually, the entire Levitard Show did it online, which I was very flattered by and very moved by. I didn't think they would ever pay attention to anything about me, but this was a very moving thing to see the little happy anniversary from the Dan Levitard Show on Twitter, or whatever they call it now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Not very often.

Wenn du zerstörst, ist das sicher eine Möglichkeit. Ich meine, wir haben die Menschen, die das gemacht haben, kennengelernt. Denk an diese armen Fußballspieler in den Andes. Weißt du, wenn es um das Leben und die Todesgeschichte geht und der Tod Wenn du es isst, wird es nichts Negatives tun. Es könnte dein Leben sparen. Das macht einen großen Unterschied.

Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Es war ein guter Job.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
In itself is what makes it good. If it cuts you to the bone, it makes it good. Now, on a technical aspect, there were a couple of focus issues I had there with it. But I noticed the focus issues were just on you. And I also, you know, that crap that they do zooming in and out, that seems to be a new thing with this new generation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
But it also was done with you and it seemed to show the chaos going on in your brain at the time. So from an introspective perspective, I think that's probably what he's trying to translate there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
ist, dass, wenn wir auf Dan sind, Dan ist hier verwirrt, er ist nicht konzentriert, er weiß nicht, was er darüber denkt, während die tollen Interviews mit Tony und mit Mike und mit Greg und mit Roy, das sind solide Interviews, die Kamera ist immer noch solide, sie sind sehr sicher, jedes Mal, wenn wir zu dir gehen, und das ganze Thema, du sprichst und die Make-up-Personen überall über dich, oh Gott, ich liebe das, das war sehr speziell.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
That did work out really well. And quite frankly, Dan, as a musician myself, your beating of the drums sucked.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Please, please, please go ahead. It was way off, Dan. It looked like you were having a seizure. It wasn't in rhythm. You didn't wait for them to finish saying, let's go, Panthers. They would go, let's go, Panthers. Too quick. Come on, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Dein Rhythmus war nicht so, wie es sein sollte. Du sahst wütend an. Deine Augen waren wütend an den Panther, statt zu lachen und glücklich und glücklich, weil wir gerade da sind, um das Spiel zu gewinnen. Ich liebe das Ende des Screens, wo du die Stimme zerstörst. Das war gut. Ich mag das.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
I didn't know to the extent of how whacked out of his mind this guy Joe Exotic is. I mean, I realized he was an oddball. I didn't agree with the things he was doing at all. I've said it many times on network television that this whole thing of keeping these animals as pets and using their cubs to make money by selling pictures with them is something I abhor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
But having said that, this guy is so whacked beyond even that. I mean, that's the least of his totally messed up mentality with these animals. This is a series about not just wild animals and keeping them as pets in your yard, but it's about sex. It's about alleged murder. It's about all kinds of – you couldn't make this stuff up if you wrote it.

I knew him very well. And I actually worked with him way back when, when I started 30-something years ago. You know, he taught me how to hand raise a lot of animals. I will say this about Mario. He loves animals. And he knows his stuff about working with animals. He, you know, openly admitted to me afterwards, you know, he made a lot of bad mistakes, did a lot of bad things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
But at the end of the day, as far as his caring for animals, I think he does an incredible job doing so. Do I agree with what he does with those animals, like having a chimpanzee and taking pictures? No, absolutely not.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
And he knows that because though I respect his knowledge of animals, you know, I no longer will ever go to his facility or anything like that because I totally disagree with that philosophy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
I knew him before he got busted, yes. And then I went through the whole process of when he did get busted. You know, I will tell you, Dan, I remember working in his warehouse because I was working with animals or learning how to work with different animals. I didn't get the opportunity to work with at the zoo.

And I remember, you know, I remember he had a briefcase like you saw in the movie on his desk and he'd open the briefcase and you'd see all those hundred dollar bills wrapped in those briefcases. you know, perfect little, like you see in the movie. I mean, this is like a movie stuff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
But, you know, one thing I will tell you, all the things that he did and he admitted he did, he never, ever did it in front of me. I never saw any any semblance of that other than that briefcase I remember seeing with money. I think he had to get a key out of it to give me something to get in the back room, and he opened the briefcase, and I couldn't help but see what's in the briefcase.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
I'm going, holy jeez, this is like, you know, those are the Miami Vice days, and I'm thinking, I'm living an episode of Miami Vice here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Just the fact that we have so many people with this mentality of keeping these animals as pets, thinking they can make money out of them, exploiting them by kind of anthropomorphizing them, thinking, oh, come on, everybody wants to swim in a pool with a tiger.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Everybody wants to lay down on their belly and take a picture with a baby tiger that has been ripped away from its mother for the sole purpose of making money out of it. And then most likely when that tiger gets to be a mature adult, it is dumped somewhere, or worse than that, killed and slaughtered.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
thrown into a pit because it's no longer useful making money because you can't take pictures with it anymore. And that's what happens with a lot of these situations, okay? And I'm hoping that this series, as crazy as these people were, opens people's eyes up and they start looking at some of these things and saying, wait a minute.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Now, I got to stipulate that you can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. There are truly some good sanctuaries that do an incredible job of caring for their animals. But what you saw in this And this series is not those sanctuaries. You know, this guy, oh, my God, my blood pressure boils when I think about what I was watching. I couldn't even lay down on the couch watching.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
I had to sit on the edge of the couch staring on the television like I wanted to jump in there and punch him. I mean, it's just unbelievable what goes on. And unfortunately, most people don't know about it because a lot of this goes on, like, in places like Oklahoma and Ohio. But here in Florida, we've got a problem with that, too, in some of these roadside attractions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
So people need to understand. I can't tell you how many times I've done interviews on Good Morning America, CNN, every time there's been a tiger attack or some other attack in one of these places where, you know, it turns out it's one of these roadside attractions where they just don't have the right conditions to maintain these animals properly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
You know, happy is a hard term to interpret when it comes to animals. I think many of those animals are physically healthy, yes, but I don't think it's normal. Tigers are solitary animals. It's not normal to see 10 tigers in one pen. No, it's not a kumbaya thing where they think, oh, look, we're all one happy family. We're all brothers and sisters. I love you. I love you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
I don't think that is normal. I think at the end of the day, that puts a stress that might not be easily seen by a layperson, but the animal is stressed that way. There'll be scenes in this thing, if you haven't seen them yet, where these animals get in some pretty brutal fights. That is not acceptable. That's just not acceptable. So people need to get that out of their heads.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
Again, there are some legitimate sanctuaries that are doing a good job of rescuing cats from places like this guy's place. You know, when they get confiscated and there's no place to put them, there are places that are taking them in and doing the right job and protecting them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
But I would have to say the majority of people in this country who are keeping lions and tigers and similar types of animals in their backyards are as quote-unquote sanctuaries are not sanctuaries. They're exploiting these animals to make money.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
It could be something as large as the Stanley Cup if it weren't made out of sterling silver. I mean, if it's something that could be crushed, yeah, theoretically they could eat it. I mean, didn't you see Jaws ate some scuba tanks?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
Not really, Dan, not really. I mean, they will feed on carcasses of whales. I mean, they will, you know, vigorously feed on dead whales that are just rotting and smell like make you gag in your mouth. But they don't necessarily, you know, pick up, you know, beer cans and bottles and stuff like that. No, they're not that kind of scavenger.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
If they're eating something like that, it's something that was attached to something that they meant to eat. Garbage floating in the ocean, floating into the carcass of a whale, when they're eating the whale, they'll swallow everything that gets in their mouth, but not intentionally eating things like human trash, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
Um, no, I really haven't. I mean, I've, you know, I've heard of all kinds of fish parts and unfortunately sometimes some human parts, but, uh, I haven't heard anything, you know, mind blowing. I mean, I've heard of things in bellies of other animals. I mean, like ostriches, ostriches eat all kinds of drill bits and screws and pans and they are garbage.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
They'll put everything in their mouth and swallow it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
That's certainly possible. I mean, you know, sharks are following the baitfish. So as soon as the baitfish start coming in closer, so are the sharks. They're following the baitfish. Now, I hope that people took notice of that video, for instance, of that bull shark out there on South Beach. How many people, it went right by without biting them, without attacking them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
That's not to say it's not possible, of course, but let's let's put this in perspective. When we talk about we hear a shark attack, this horrific tragedy in Hawaii with this guy. OK, horrible, horrible. But yet people need to not paint with a broad brush to say this is why all sharks need to be destroyed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
Look at that bull shark literally swimming within feet of dozens of people there and never bit one of them, never bit one of them. Let's please keep this in mind.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
Oh, geez. Land animal? I don't know, because none of the carnivores are going to do it. I mean, they're... They're just not going to do it. I don't see anything like it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
It's not edible. It's not an edible thing. It's a giant thing. It's not something... Hippopotamus, maybe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
No, no, it's not. There's no land animal that's going to eat the Stanley Cup.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
That is absolutely something that should be done. There are little types of stickers, little types of things that you can put on your window that doesn't destroy your view or anything like that, but birds can see it. See, the reason why these birds fly into windows is they're seeing reflections of the things behind them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
If they're flying, you know, if you have a beautiful house full of windows and you're surrounded by a forest, they see that forest in the window and they fly right into it, okay? The same thing with high-rise buildings. In the high-rise building, when it's above all the other buildings, they're seeing sky. They're seeing a reflection of sky behind them, so they go into that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
All you need to do, and the Audubon Society makes these available for free, I believe, you can just get these little stickers and put them on your sliding doors. Again, they're not these huge, obstructional types of things. They're just visible by the birds, barely visible by you, and it saves countless lives.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
I don't know how many of those records are as dependable.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
What do we think? I got to think the Lombardi trophy. It's pretty cylindrical. It's not really huge. It's not really wide. It's a swallowable trophy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
Hey, I want to see the picture of Rodriguez's little baby girl sitting in the cup that he said he wanted to take last night. That's going to be a great shot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
They're bouncing back as well as can be hoped for because you know what? Decades ago, there were only 20 of them left. Now there's probably a little bit over 200. So they have increased their strength. They've increased their numbers. They've increased their range. They are no longer the new team with just a bunch of neophytes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
These panthers have expanded their population, but only to the limit of what's available to them in habitat. People don't realize that panthers, the number one killer of panthers is cars, unfortunately. They get hit by cars on the road. But what people don't understand, the number two killer of panthers is, is other panthers because they fight for territory and they're limited to their territory.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
So the males will kill each other over territory. And that's the number two killer of panthers. But, you know, this is the largest cat in the state of Florida. It is the state animal. You know, we have a state mammal, the manatee, the state bird, the mockingbird, which we hope to make the flamingo soon. You know, we have a state butterfly, the zebra wing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
But the state animal, like the animal, the number one animal in the state is the Florida panther.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
Well, Zoo Miami is working with the foundation. We've been speaking to legislators. They have put a bill forth that kind of died in the House this last session, but they're hoping to bring it again the next session to make the flamingo the state bird. I think it's a natural.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
You know, I'm a huge sports fan, and to see the last major teams in Florida win the Stanley Cup, win the championship, you know, I've been here. I've been here for the 72-73 Dolphins. I was here for the 2006 Heat. I was here for the 96-97 Marlins. Now to be here and to see this happen here in Florida, it makes me happy because, you know, I transplanted from New York.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
New York is a big sports town. We had some great teams back then. 1969, the greatest year of my life as a sports guy. The Mets, the Jets, the Knicks, the Rangers. I mean, it was everybody winning the championship that year. So coming down here and having this team do this and to be able to say a Florida team, a Southern Florida team wins an ice hockey championship. That's just so freaking great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
Well, you know what, Dan? Dan, you know what? They're going to need to get over it. Because, you know, if somebody cannot look at a coach and a general manager literally sobbing there on the ice last night, I started to get emotional watching that, realizing the eruption of emotion that has built up in these guys that have worked so hard for this. Now, don't get me wrong.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
I felt bad for, you know, the Jesus there, that guy, whatever. I felt bad for him. I wish he'd come out to kind of accept the trophy, even though I probably understand why he didn't. I thought it was bad that people were booing that because, you know, the stats indicated that he was the MVP, even though, God, that goalie. God, did our goalie kill it? It was amazing. He had a couple of bad games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
I understand that. But what a job, baby. He did it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
Take care. We'll talk soon. Bye-bye.
