He's never seen Indiana Jones.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Any Mission Impossible movie. That's just starting to get the beak wet. You know what I mean? I'm scrolling through and it's like, oh, all of a sudden it's Fallout? Ooh, I'm in. I'm watching the entire thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Also a synonym for my top five. Another set of movies that I will always stop on. A, James Bond film.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
The second one we don't really acknowledge.

He's got a beard now. It looks weird with the beard.

Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Scarface. Scarface. Anytime, no matter what time. It's a three-hour movie. So anytime that it comes on, I'll catch it right when the blimp's going over, the world is yours. And I'm like, you know what? The world is mine. Thank you.

Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Holding up a mirror to you, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Every dog has his day, Frank. OLI number whatever. Hateful Eight. Really? I'm a big fan of Hateful Eight. The worst of the Tarantino movies. I don't say the worst. There's other bad ones.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is not better than Hateful Eight. We'll just start there. It is a million times better.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
I've basically seen every single one of them. Which one haven't you seen? Basically is different than seeing I remember starting Jackie Brown. I didn't finish it. Oh, Jackie Brown's so good. It is good. I didn't finish it. It's one of his best. A little slow in the beginning, so I kind of tuned out. Oh, it's a Mission Impossible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Come on, now you know why my wife and I don't watch movies together. Next one of the OLI, this is the last of the OLIs. We're still in OLIs? Yeah, of course. No, don't. Indiana Jones. Any of them, except for the ones like the Crystal Skull, the Compass one. Those all suck. Not any. The original Indiana Jones, okay? Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and Last Crusade.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Any of those, I will go out and watch, and if they're on, I will stop every single time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
There you go. All right, continuing the old lie. We got a couple left. You said that was the last one. No, no, I was wrong. Have you considered a top 10? Oh, Christ, man. Ocean's 11th. Nobody's smoother than Danny Ocean, Dan. You know that. That's another movie you'll stop on every time. True or not true?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Number five.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
This is a two for one, actually. So it's five, but it's two for one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
No, no, I can't. I can't. There's too many. There's too many. Godfather one and two. Bigger than Bond. Lighthouse better be on this. I've never seen it. Number four, Goodfellas.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Number three, Training Day.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Number one, Dan, this is a movie that started this entire list because it's the movie that no matter what time of the movie it's on, I will watch it and I will watch it to its entirety. Yes, he was a rat, but it doesn't matter. Number one, Denzel in American Gangster. He's a rat. He's a rat. He's a cop. He wasn't a cop. He was a rat. That's okay, though, because you know what?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
This is $25,000 alpaca. You don't wipe it. You blot that shit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Well, Mickey Arison retweeted Bernard Lee's tweet. So maybe that's some sort of cosign. But this is the first time an agent's ever lied. Is this posturing? Is this 4D chess where, no, this is bullshit. It's not part of the Suns. Trying to drive the price up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Taylor, I got advice. Worst case, you're wrong. It's fine. Yeah, no one even cares anymore. It's 2024. Integrity means nothing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Such a good impression.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
If we're being real, I watched it. Feinbaum punted on it after like three minutes. Really? Yeah. Honestly, I was watching and I'm like, Taylor...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Did you see the Yankees sign?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
I thought it was great. He looks great. Big smile. The lighting was a little dark, but...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Lucy said he was a bozo. Chris said that. Oh, Chris said it. I watched it, and it was like a four-minute interview. Maybe that was the plan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
No, Paul's a man of the people. Paul was siding with Taylor. Yeah. But he did it with a smirk. I wasn't buying Paul. Really? He was being a little condescending.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Me on Feinbaum would be pretty useless, I have to admit. Why would you be on Feinbaum, Chris? I wouldn't. That's what I'm telling Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
I'm willing to go. The only people are Luce and Jessie. I mean, that's it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Oh, yeah, I remember that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
I saw Restrepo's thinking about it. He has to talk to his representatives. What do you have to think about?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Play all the football you can. No, he's projected to be like a fourth or fifth rounder.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
That's right. It's a happy birthday. Days are numbered.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
But Billy's so right that they all feel like they're at that stadium.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
What happened there? Braxton Harris vibes, right? No?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Restrepo, Dan? You had him on your ballot? Sixth? Fifth? What was the number?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
How can you know that Puka Nakula was, like, what, a fifth-round pick, fourth-round pick? I mean, because I know it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
You're still finding my lane. We're going to find one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Stadium food or something. I'll think of something. He's not going to have you on for that, though. Hello, this is Chris Cody from the Dan Levitard Show. He was a little dismissive, by the way, in introducing Taylor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
He comes to us from inside Carolina and also does some stuff for the Levitard Show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
I do believe he'd be a great entity for us. Petered out there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Let's call it maybe Live on Air Texas. That'll work.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
I want to talk about— No, no, no, no. Do not.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
That's right. Do a better one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Oh, that's fun, I get it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Misspelled. Just focus on that. How'd they spell it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Crazy. Fan experience is better than the PressBox 2, right? For sure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
It was the closest vote, I think they said since 2009. So it was even though Travis Hunter got the majority of the first place votes. It was very, very close, Lucy, to your point. So I'm with Lucy. I thought both were deserving. I think voters have different criteria when they vote. But like Travis Hunter's.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
ability to play on both sides of the ball kind of puts him in a space where you can't really just compare his stats, especially because he plays defense, too. He had four interceptions. He had the fourth best coverage grade of all cornerbacks on PFF this year. Quarterbacks had terrible passer ratings against him. Those are hard to compare against...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
over 2,400 yards or whatever it was and 30 touchdowns, what Jenty had. So it's hard to compare because he's playing two different positions so well. But I thought both would have been deserving. I don't know who I would have voted for. I think it just comes down to how you vote for the player, which is the criteria is what, Dan? Most outstanding player? It's pretty vague.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
You voted for Cam Ward, so you didn't have either of them. So everyone kind of has their own thing they vote for.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
All the handshaking, the line of Heisman. I don't watch the show. I'm still interested in the Heisman debate and the voting and everything like that and the players themselves. But like Lucy said, I don't need to watch the show because I was at dinner and I just saw the notification on my phone. I was like, oh, cool. He won. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Well, because I don't have a vote, so I don't really have to sit and think about it too much. I would also add that I don't think Boise State would be in the playoff if it weren't for Ashton Gentry. He had an absurd season. I think the one thing that really sucks about him losing is that I feel like it, you know,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
maybe sends a bad message about the sort of season that you would have to have as a group of five player to win a Heisman Trophy award. I think that kind of stinks, to be honest. But I also don't think that you should vote for him to send a message or prove a point or something like that. I genuinely think both players are worthy of a first place vote.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
But I'm not a homer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Yeah, I think he commuted the sentences of like a thousand plus nonviolent offenders. So I think he was in that batch. I don't know if there was like a specific reason or connection. If that exists, I haven't read about it, but...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
But Miami standards.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Does Poppy still have his vote? Because Billy texted us. I was like, oh, yeah, that was definitely Dan. And the second of the six was Poppy. We've got to figure out who the other four are. Barry Jackson, does he have a vote?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
It's a Christmas song. It's literally a Christmas song.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Everybody's waiting for the Man with a Bag.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Nevin Shapiro, the Man with a Bag.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
except for it feels like it feels like christmas in here we got decorations cookies i made cookies and they're really good i made lots of christmas really really good i made six different types of christmas cookies i made italian rainbow cookies i made lemon ricotta cookies i made these tahini butterscotch sesame bars with chocolate i made pistachio thumbprints i made homemade paki
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
They're all Christmas cookies. They're all out there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
They're green and red. Go look. Oh, I made gingerbread latte cookies. That was a late addition to the Christmas cookie box.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Can you guys just admit your Christmas song knowledge isn't that deep? That's all it is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
They call it the Sims 2.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Shame on me, I think. It's two hands on the ball.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
If you hip thrust while you're doing it, and then it's also after the play.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
No sexy stuff. But Super Bowl licks, I'm investigating.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
I mean, someone needed to clear that up. I knew about it because Giants fans were getting aroused.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Do you have a vote, Dan?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Do you ever reveal who you voted for afterwards?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
I think after you can, but before you can't, right? Just whisper it. No, but I'm allowed to. Were you one of the six first place votes for Cam Ward? Yeah, I can guess.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
You don't have to tell us. I'm just curious.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Ethan Podolsky, you work here. All right, so yeah. That's a good description.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Yeah. The, the image I'm always going to have. I mean, I'm going to have this forever is when Mo was talking to Emily Kaplan, you know, the coaches interview after the Stanley cup. And then here comes Spencer Knight. He has the cup in his hands and just handed it off to Mo. And then you get that shot of him lifting the cup with his eyes closed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
That's savoring the moment of 30 years of coaching this sport.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
That's your second language.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
I mean, those two trades that they made last week and the week before, I mean, that's what's going on here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Slap shots.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
They did it for shits and giggles.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Finally, the Avalanche played the Sharks last night. The Avalanche won 4-2. And both teams made a trade this week. McKenzie Blackwood and Alexander Georgiev. That was really interesting because both of the Odo goaltenders faced each other. Now, what do you think about... This trade.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
It's not next year either.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
All right, Ant-Man, you can catch him in Canada if you're living in Canada. On Prime Canada for Monday Night Hockey, you can catch him on NHL Network. And once baseball season starts, he's right around the corner, man. Winter ball right now. All right, Ant-Man, we appreciate you showing up, and we'll see you in January.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Let's talk about the Panthers and what they did this week. On Saturday, they lost to the Calgary Flames 3-0. That was a shutout. That was a back-to-back shutout. That was a second straight shutout. On Monday, they beat the Edmonton Oilers in... One of the best games of the season, 6-5.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Yeah, all it took was the trade of Jacob Truba and Cabo Caco.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
And on Wednesday, they beat the Minnesota Wild 6-1 in a complete beatdown of probably the best team in the league currently.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
I mean, they woke up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
And they did this without Alexander Barkov, who was sick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
I wanted to play a super cut of all 11 goals of the Oilers game because, I mean, it's just funny.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
That was a lot of goals. And, I mean, the Panthers had the lead three times in that game, I believe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Okay. So now, if you have goals, you'll be successful. That's just my opinion. I think that's how hockey works. Yeah, that's how hockey works. Now, a lot of people... Love dogs, you know. In fact, I would say that most people love dogs more than they love people. You're wearing a sweater with a dog on it. That's right. Now, I'm not a big fan of dogs, but I mean, Claire does want a dog.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
So that's basically Panthers hockey right now. For the past, I would say, five years, they've had the well with all to be able to stay in a game and be able to come back. The game is never over.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
I'm hearing the music in my head. But yeah, if you're looking at this on YouTube...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Play the Sam Reinhardt goal, please. I don't want to hear it. Play the Sam Reinhardt goal. I don't want to hear it. Play the Sam Reinhardt goal. Because I want to point this out here. The Sam Reinhardt goal. Yes, that take makes me feel like the goalie. All right. So the Sam Reinhardt goal. This is a prime example of Florida Panthers hockey. And it starts on the forecheck. Because his forecheck...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Is what led to Matthias Ekholm falling down on the ice. Couldn't even handle it. Couldn't handle it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
I mean, you look faster when somebody falls and busts their ass. I mean, that was crazy. And then he goes to the corner and rips one off the side of the helmet. From below the goal line. Yeah, that right there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
That is disrespectful. And I love it as a goalie. Like, if you can do that, that's hard. And then on Wednesday, Matthew Kachuk, his two goals, and the first goal, that was quintessential Matthew Kachuk.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Oh, he absolutely did. Like, I've said it before. You remember the Ronald Test celebration that led to him elbowing James Harden?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
That's what happened to Marc-Andre Fleury.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
And the Panthers in that game allowed 15 shots on net on 25 attempts, 11 scoring chances, 8 high danger chances in the first period. The second and third periods combined, 12 shots on goal, 26 shots attempts, eight scoring chances, and zero high-danger chances. They shut them down for the rest of the game in Minnesota. And they're playing the St. Louis Blues tonight at home.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Finally coming back home game. They don't leave the state of Florida until next year, so lucky for them. So the Panthers are 8-2-1 in the last 11. They've scored four goals per game. They've allowed 2.64 goals. It's crazy that—
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Yeah, 35% on the power play. So that's the Panthers week. This is the last episode of the year for us. We want to thank the infield, by the way. They sent us some stickers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Yeah, Savannah specifically has sent us stickers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
You can put the camera on me. All right. We would like to thank Rose. We want to thank Ethan. We want to thank Mike and Danny. I want to thank Dave. I want to thank myself. I want to thank you for watching and listening to us here in 2024. We will see you next year. They're letting us back. Yeah, barely.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
We'll see you in two weeks. Happy holidays, everybody. Happy holidays. Goodbye.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
My wife does want a dog. So then you will be having a dog. Probably not. And like I said, like I said, you know, most people love their dogs or their pet more than most people. You know why? Because people are dumb. That's why. Sure, the average person is smart. But people, the dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, you know it. You know that. I don't like people. Yeah, I don't like people either.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
I like these people.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Oh, yeah, there's a lot of stupid people down here. But putting that aside. Yeah, where are we going with this? Yeah, Sam Bennett, you know, as you know, is currently trying to save pets all over Broward County right now. He has been these buddies. He's created this foundation with the help of the Humane Society of Broward County.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Every time he scores a goal, a pet gets sponsored for adoption, right? Currently, he has 13 goals. 13. His career high is 28. He's almost halfway there already, and we're not even at Christmas yet. So, very, very successful right now. Good for Benny. I'm very happy for him. He's saving a lot of dogs. He's making a lot of families happy. Now, while we're at this section here, talking about
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Pet adoptions. I want to give a shout out to one of my best friends in the world. She is currently running a rescue adoption service as well. It's called Rescue Paws. Right now, she's trying to find forever homes for dogs right now, you know, and I just wanted to give a shout out to her and hopefully some of the listeners would like.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Rose, there's a dome. It's a dome.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
So if the windows are open, we don't know that yet. They're going to close everything up while they make the ice and they're going to make sure it's frozen. And then once the game starts, they're going to open –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
It's going to rain. It is going to rain. That's what's going to happen. That would be very appropriate. You know why? Because it rained during the parade. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
That's how that works. That's how it always works down here because shit happens.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
They're still trying to sink in that they want to sell a cup.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
The tiebreaker scenario against the Canadiens. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Yeah, now it is. Yeah, it can't say shit to me. Wins of the week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
You gotta love an e-bug.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
He hoofed it to the arena. Now, we're not talking about a position play. We're talking about a goaltender. So that's extra panic. Oh, yeah. He had a lot of gear. A lot of gear. So good for him. I went in a week. We go to Twitter, currently known as X. Mike Commodore had a tweet, and it's on the screen right now. I got to read this. So, Jacob Borchek had this tweet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
He said, as a flyer, I definitely think that if the Penguins make the playoffs, you got to respect Crosby, Malkin, and Letang so much more. First ballot trio. In my own opinion.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Yeah. Well, first of all, I personally don't have to do a goddamn thing. All right. Fuck that shit. As far as talking about, oh, first ballot Hall of Famers. I'm not saying that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Yeah, but yeah, it was basically one of those, you know how they say Magic Johnson has one of those, you know, treats that everybody deems obvious? If there was a Magic Johnson in hockey, that would be Jacob Voracek, I guess, in that situation. Maybe Jake's just trolling.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
I guess so, because my Commodore, and by the way, keep in mind, they were both teammates in Columbus. So I guess they know each other very well. They might even be friends. That was a decade and a half ago when they played together. Commodore said, and I quote, like I usually do, No shit, Jake. Playoffs this year makes no difference. Stupid fuck.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Those are not my words, even though I did say fuck earlier in this segment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
I'm sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to everybody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
This is what happens, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
It was deflected.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Prime example of that would be Duncan Keith in the Western Conference Final against the Sharks. Puck to the face, lost 18, I believe. Four top, four bottom. Came back in there. Yeah. That's hockey, baby. That's hockey. My fail of the week is the New York Rangers defense. This is unacceptable. So in the Rangers-Predators game earlier this week, Luke Shen was in front of the net.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
I just said that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Now, the video is being played right now. He had six shots. Three feet, probably not even three feet in front of Igor Shostakhin. Six shots in three seconds. Not a single Ranger. They're just watching. They're just watching. They're just watching. So you know what we're talking about in practice. They're having fun right now. And all the coaches and Michael Peck is over here doing shootout drills.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
They're doing that shit earlier this week. That's bad. That's bad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
I can't enter the damn show. Five, four, three, two, four, five, four, three, two, one. Welcome to the Hockey Show. My name is Roy Bellamy. That's David Dwork over there. He works for the Hockey News. Rosarius is over there in the EP chair.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
And that's why he's the best no-winner.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
That's that's that earns them a back skate. Now, I'm not talking about what they're doing right now in this era of NHL hockey. I'm talking about actual parachutes on the backs as a skating because that was terrible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Oh, yes, exactly. That's terrible. Now, our guests coming up and you can watch this on YouTube for the DK and audiences and then Burke. Prime Canada, Monday Night Hockey. We're going to talk Mo's stories. Paul Maurice, he had a sit-down interview with him, and he has some stories to tell us. So we'll get to that in a second.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Okay, it's time for our monthly check-in with Adnan Virk of Prime Canada and Angel Network. He's doing Monday Night Hockey. And he has some stories from his sit-down interviews. He's been having some fun lately. Yeah, absolutely. He has the distinct pleasure to have sit-down interviews with some luminaries of the sport. And he just talked to Paul Maurice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Paul Maurice Stories With Adnan Virk
Apparently, he has some stories that he wants to deliver to us. So, Adnan, what did you find out from MoMo?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
That is a whole different situation with the Rangers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Keep in mind, though, the Capitals, although this is a shorter time frame for Florida when it happened to them, playing without the best player on the team through the injury has still played extremely well. It's exactly the same thing Florida had to go through. And once OV returns, it's going to be. That's a really good point. Yeah. It's going to be really, really interesting in the Metro.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Hello, welcome to the Hockey Show. My name is Roy Bellamy. David Dwork of the Hockey News is to my left. Rose Arias is in the other studio, busy posting thirst traps on Instagram. What the hell was that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
So there's that. So, hey, it's a fun time right now in hockey. So we're talking about the men, though. We're going to switch to the women because we are going to talk to Ian Kennedy of the Hockey News. I'm excited for this. We've been meaning to get to the PW for a while. Yes, yes. And I'm glad that we're going to have him on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Ian Kennedy of the Hockey News is going to join us next to talk about the PWHL and them in the second season right now. And we're going to take a look at how the season is going. We're going to talk about the differences between season one and season two. Ian Kennedy is coming up next.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
I'll be there for that. Learn how to hit. You have my support.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
That looked like a thirst trap to me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
The Professional Women's Hockey League has started its season. This is the second year that they have been in existence. And they have names now. They have uniforms. Can you believe that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
It's really great. It's great. Just like Major League.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Yeah, I think so, too. Ian Kennedy of the Hockey News joins us. He's the author of Ice in the Veins, Women's Relentless Pursuit of the Puck. He covers women's hockey and the PWHL in its second season has names. So it has branding. Has there been any positive increases as far as money is concerned into the league with this new branding?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Hey, listen, man. She felt like she looked cute. And she posted a picture.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Natural, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
That's a hot take right there. I am being a dad, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
All right, so we have added attendance. We're going to have added teams coming up soon. Aside from the branding portion of it, in a business sense, what has the league learned?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Yeah, well, when you get people sliding into your DMs, that's your fault. Okay, well, you deal with that. We'll deal with slap shots. Let's start with the hot takes. Dave, go ahead.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Has any of the national broadcasters... Do you have a lead in who would take the product? Would it be ESPN? Would it be TNT? Or would it be someone like a USA?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
You're in the hot take section.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Slap shots.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Well, I've already said that the National Hockey League has done a bad job of promoting its players. I mean, Lord knows I'm tired of seeing Sidney Crosby on my television. They've been doing that for 20 years. How can the Women's Hockey League, how can the PWHL learn from the missteps of the NHL?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Should the players actually promote themselves? Players like Sarah Nurse have done an excellent job of promoting themselves.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
You mentioned last year, and we know Minnesota won the championship. The way too early predictions here. What do you have?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
He wrote the book Ice in the Veins, Women's Relentless Pursuit of the Puck. And he writes for the Hockey News. He covers women's hockey. He is Ian Kennedy. Ian, thank you very much for joining us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Okay. Wow. So Edmonton's not going to repeat. Do you think Edmonton and Colorado will... Well, I don't think they're going to end up in the conference final.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
All right, it's time for our Panthers update because that's the team we cover. Yes, it is. So if you got any complaints about that, you can kiss my ass. Or you can pay us to cover another team, I guess.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
The relocation would be a little pricey. Yeah, yeah. You can't afford me. The Florida Panthers apparently are slated to host an outdoor game at Lone Depot Park next season. Yeah. And I'm kind of excited. We're going to an outdoor game. We're going to an outdoor game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
I mean, that's later in the season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Yeah, that's going to be great. I thought it was going to be Tampa, but hey, listen, Gary Bettman, we've had definite criticisms about your tenure, but yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Holy shit. Okay. All right. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
We'll see. We will see. We will see. All right. So the Panthers faced the Seattle Kraken earlier this week. They won in a shootout. And before the game happened, Josh Mahura and Brandon Montour received their rings finally.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
The Panthers only needed, basically, Alexander Barkov, Sam Reinhardt, and Sergey Bobrovsky.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Yeah, he's one of the best backhands in the league.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
And the Panthers' defense has been... Very good. They were very good in this game. But last night in Vancouver, they lost 4-0. And the defense kind of stifled them as far as shots are concerned. But the rush defense was not good. And that's basically how the Canucks scored their goals.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
JT Miller returned from injury after a month and got two assists and the first star. Good for him. And the fans absolutely loved it. The Panthers will face the Flames tomorrow. Ryan Longberg will get his ring, and we are done for this week. We'll see you next week for the end of the year, the last episode of the year. See you then. Okay, goodbye.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Don't you ever, ever say that ever again. Blasphemy. Jeez. Rose, keep posting the throw straps. All right, Roy, do you have a hot take for us? I do. Now, for the past couple of episodes, I've been saying that a couple of coaches might get fired, and... That hasn't happened yet, so I might be wrong about this as well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
But I'm going to take it a step higher with a general manager that just might be fired as well. He might be short on time, and that is Kevin Adams in Buffalo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Yeah. I mean, he's been there for five years. His best season was a couple years ago. They had 91 points. They were still fifth in the division. I mean, that's how competitive the Atlantic Division is. I mean, that's pretty rough. They can't even get a wild card out of that. He's been there for five years. He's been there since COVID, June 2020. Buffalo hasn't made the playoffs in 14 seasons. No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
In five no seasons, he hasn't. Brought them there. A lot of talent has left. Reinhardt left. Eichel left. Brandon Montoya left. Linus Ohlmark left. And all four of them. Forgot about Ohlmark. All four of them ended up being champions. Now, look at how the Eichel situation wound up. And how the Sabres...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Completely botched that one as far as his injury is concerned like that's just like why would you want to go there? It's not exactly this and he said so like it's not a destination like places that have palm trees now He was taught you that was a shot across the barrel for both, Florida and Tampa Like you're not a good team. You're not a good team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
You brought back Lindy Ruff like as much as I like the move that hasn't worked out at all and They've progressed since that 91-point year, and it's gotten worse this year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
He's saying nothing is off the table. They're in sell mode, just like the Rangers are in sell mode. But they're in sell mode. But he's saying, and this is a quote, that he's not about to, quote-unquote, panic. That's a panic move, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Yeah, and he hasn't done a good job. So it's, in my opinion, it's just short time right now. Borrowed time, actually. Borrowed time. Yeah. It wouldn't be surprising. Yeah, the five-year plan is not working out in Buffalo. So that's not a good situation. The wins of the week, David. Wins of the week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Torts at the presser, they brought it up to him. He had no idea.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
I mean, we've seen his antics while he was Rangers head coach. I mean, you can ask Brooksy. Not a good situation between him and the New York Post, I'll tell you that. All right, so my win of the week. It's that time of year, around Christmas time, right, in the minors and major junior leagues, that the fans come in. And they throw teddy bears onto the ice. I love the teddy bear toss.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
The teddy bear toss.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
It's that time of year. It's every Christmas. And in this situation, we're looking at the Berry Coats and the Ottawa 67s.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
The 67s had scored. And apparently there was...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Yeah. What happened was that one of the Colts players blocked one of the 67 players from getting... I love the Grinch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Yeah, he blocked one of the players from celebrating the goal. Guys, this isn't very Christmassy, guys. He blocked one of the 67 players from celebrating the goal. And... And chaos ensued. Chaos ensued. So, yeah. So, again, for the audio audience, a goal was scored during the teddy bear toss situation. The fans were tossing teddy bears onto the ice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
One of the players got blacked from celebrating, and that caused a brawl while teddy bears were being tossed onto the ice. A line brawl while teddy bears are being tossed onto the ice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Yes. As John Forslund says, that's hockey, baby. Oh, God.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Oh, that happened last week at one of the Titty Bears. Of course it did. One of the players, one of the away players was not happy that his team allowed the goal and then the table.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
He shot the Titty Bears back into the stands. That's not cool. Now, keep in mind, these Titty Bears are donated to children. to charities and to hospitals. So this guy is tossing with his stick. He's shooting the bears back into the stands. I think he got suspended again. Yeah, he did. He got suspended again, which is rightfully deserved considering the context. Like, what are you doing, man?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Yeah, don't take your anger out on the kids.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Oh, really?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Yeah, I just saw that last night. That is an amazing goal by Naz and Kadri.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
All right. So to describe this for the audio audience, it was Lightning at Flames. Nazem Khadri had taken the puck away from one of the Lightning players who was barely first on the ice. And he had to leap over him. And then I don't think it kind of. No, that was mine. Yeah. Yeah, it didn't look like Conor McDavid. That's his fellow of the week, actually. That's David's fellow of the week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
But yeah, Nazem Khadri hopped over. Was not balanced, by the way. So he had to spin, unbalanced, shot it on net, and scored for the Flames. It was a great goal. It's going to be one of the goals. It probably was the goal of the week, actually.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Now, keep in mind where McDavid received the puck. He received the puck at the faceoff that it's nice. And he split three. Three players there. So, yeah, not good defense at all. Defense optional. Defense optional. My fail of the week comes from one of the suspects in the Paul Bissonnette jumping. Here he is talking about describing Paul Bissonnette.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
So that's an automatic L. The reason why that's an automatic L is you think that Paul Bissonnette is built like The Rock. Well, he's a Hispanic Rock, apparently.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Yeah. I mean, that's kind of like saying Brett Goldstein looks Hispanic because he has a beard on Ted Lasso. Of course, he shaved it off for shrinking. But no, man. First of all, that's racist. Second of all, that's stupid. These guys aren't exactly cracking the atom or anything. I mean, they were drunk at the time, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Yeah. Of course, Biz in his career is probably used to scrums.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Keep in mind, he's in that DraftKings commercial. He's in the shower. So if you want to look at how fit he is, then you can look at that commercial. Not throwing the Rock Johnson, but good for a hockey player.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Yeah. Rose has a fail.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
And it's not you getting pepper sprayed? It's not a fail of the week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
What am I watching? Okay, so a woman right now is trying to close the door with her foot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
That's very Rose. All right. So. I'm on brand. This week in hockey, what have you noticed?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Comparisons
Late times.

Not in the house, but it depends on what mall you go to if you want to find a Black Santa.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
Probably. That's the other thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
Yeah, the black Jesus photo hung right next to Dr. King, right? There it is, exactly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
Yes, of course. That's got to be the three.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
There's no pink teams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
I got the Chiefs. I'm keeping it.
