The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
I don't I don't mean to shame you here. It's funny that you would take that into consideration when like it also seems kind of torturous, a thing to have to take into consideration to how do I figure out how to stand to have this conversation with Stanton near the dugout steps so that I could be on the top one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Was there anybody who is consistently using their size to feel like they were bullying you, where you're feeling off of them that they're trying to do something here and I don't like it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
He's like the first athlete to be good at Twitter. Yes, you unretired the late Carl Barger's number to give it to him in a great offense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
I have never seen David that upset at an accusation ever. It wasn't him. That's my fault. But that happened around.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
But what was he trying to bully you with, though? Like when were you when was it so tense that you would feel some of what it is you're talking about?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Take us through some of that here, because you're at the precipice, really, of where it is some of this has broken down. I want to talk about NIL with you and Amin in a second. But the player having his own agency or her own agency and being able to tell their own story. Logan Morrison was one of the first athletes to be popular on Twitter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Your your feeling as an executive was to create the Showtime series that about the franchise, about your team, because you wanted a kind of an attention, but you wanted an attention that was specific to your controlling it. Logan was saying, no, I get to control it. And you started that tense fight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
There is no question, Dan Levitard show included, anybody else, that this guy is the best player on the planet. Whether he wins the Stanley Cup or the Cotsmite this year, there is no question about it. Stugatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
You know what? I'm going to have to stop everybody right here because he mentioned Lomo's dad's funeral and that opens the door to America's fastest growing game. Would you attend their funeral?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Would you attend the funeral of Tommy Hutton? No. Oh, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Oh, no. He's back on the broadcast. How many years was he a broadcaster for you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Oh, no. Dave Van Horn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Really? I didn't have you doing that. So that was David Horn. He was just ascending to heaven and that was his voice fading away as he left for the press box in the sky. I'm up, up and away.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Joe Girardi.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Josh Beckett.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
I can't tell you guys how much I love talking about death to this music. Put it on the poll here, Guillermo, please. Was Logan Morrison responsible for all player empowerment in the NBA? Would you attend the funeral? And I know what he's doing there because this one's super interesting to me. When he thinks about it on Josh Beckett, it's not even his relationship with Josh Beckett.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
It's, man, it would be really fun to catch up with those people at that funeral to remember that the best time of our lives. Like, I could go through that roster and probably get 10 guys that he'll go to those funerals.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Well, but the others, the teammates who will be there. Thank you, Billy. I do appreciate that Josh Beckett would not be speaking chattily from the coffin.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Lenny Harris. No. Wow. Firm. I'm sorry, Lenny. Ken Rosenthal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Is that the correct word? Because this movie, it did capture my eye because it did look like the mask, the Cher movie that you're talking about, right? Where the head and face of someone is something that anybody would look at and it doesn't look right. Is deformed the proper way to say that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
No, I don't know. I don't know the answer. The reason I'm asking the question, though, is because when I was watching that movie, I thought that movie took some real great chances there. I thought that movie was interesting in what it is that they were trying to tackle.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
I don't know. I didn't mean to get stuck there. I just wanted to explain the audience because when you said deformity, you didn't make it clear that it was the head, that it was the face.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
David, thank you for being on with us. We appreciate it. The name of the movie is nothing. I'm sorry. The podcast is nothing personal. David, what are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What was that? What? What?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
So, yes, that is what happened. It was the proper thing to laugh at in Lewis's meager defense. He did say that the photo was jarring. And so he was trying to make an executive decision and he made a poor one. because he startled me and I wasn't able to get you out of here. So thank you, David. I appreciate, I appreciate the time. Nothing personal is the name of the podcast, the sporting class.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
I'm telling you that he does with John Skipper and they fight for who's got the higher chair. It is unlike anything, not my, nevermind business, not just business, sports business, any kind of business. There's not this kind of expertise talking this way about those things. Thank you, David.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
And obviously, you love any art that makes... I love any art that makes me think a little bit about something that I had not considered. And so when Lewis said the photo is jarring, it is jarring. The entire movie is... wildly transportive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Like it takes you to a place that you might not have considered at all before with someone living a, trying to live a normal life with something that if all of us were looking at it, we'd be saying, if that happened to me, how is it that I would go through life? Could I be happy? Could I be myself?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Could I be somebody that was normal instead of sullen because my life, I can change my life's energies just by having a different attitude, no matter how I look.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
I want to ask you guys something else about a negotiation that's coming up. I think this one will interest people. Get me the sound, please, for when people don't want me to talk about sports media stuff, because I think this particular one is something that people might be finding interesting in what is about to be the golden age.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
of the streaming services are just going to fire hose money at certain personalities because of Netflix having one of its greatest periods ever now that they've just dipped a toe in sports.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
I think Amin's going to find this one interesting, okay? Because if Tom Brady is worth $375 million to do a job part-time over here, and if Stephen A. Smith and Pat McAfee and everybody tries to change, and the Kelseys try to change the economy of how many millions per year can you make doing this?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
I don't think in my entire lifetime covering sports, I have seen someone have more power from a broadcasting perspective than what Charles Barkley heads into here. Getting to decide whether he wants to work for ESPN because he got traded.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Going to bring in David Sampson here, but I feel bad for Amin because he just endured something that I would not wish upon others. And I do think sometimes that we lose perspective on certain things. For example, Maxie, Tyrese Maxie, is taller than A.J. Brown. He's taller than A.J. Brown. He goes in, dabs him up yesterday, and I'm like, oh, I didn't know that he was taller.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
And Charles Barkley has all the power over everybody because Amazon and everybody, everybody's gonna be bidding on Charles Barkley, not the entirety of the show. So he's in the position where he holds all the cards in a negotiation to work as much or as little as he wants when it's the golden age of we're going to pay tens of millions of dollars for this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Because if Barclay's at $20 million a year now, and I understand the stratosphere is ridiculous, but he's going to have all of these giant entities saying, we want just you. You're your own network. You, you, it's not even just your show. We want just you. Because having you brings us whatever Tom Brady's bringing you because you've attached this particular name to what you do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
And I just can't believe that's so with a man in his 60s.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Understood, but when you have everyone bidding for you and sports money is spilling all over the place at 20 million a year, there is nobody worth more, wanted by more people than this person. Like, you can say that, but everyone's going to be in the game trying to say they're the ones who have Charles Barkley.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
So I ask you guys... Do you think that this is a situation where you can find me a negotiation that someone headed into where he had more power, more in sports?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
But, of course, you're always getting fooled by the height of these people and how different some of these things are than you think they are. Amin went and saw the Wizards last week, and it is jarring. You don't get used to how good basketball is until you see it played that poorly. To realize that your perspective has changed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
You might complain about what basketball is today, but the teams are so good that the Wizards exist and they're not a professional basketball team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
That you just did that. That David Sampson was kept waiting that long.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
So you could tell us that bad teams are bad. No, it's your fault. That was the topic you picked to start.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
You think this is good soldier. What kind of army do I have? The worst ever. Oh, my God. Right? Look at him. Look at him. Like, this is the soldier who gets me killed in battle. It's like, aren't I a good soldier? I'm so good at soldiering.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
It's my fault that I threw the ball to him, and he's like, I didn't know you were going to ask me to dribble for this long.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
You also rattled him, Samson, because he could see your face and the disgust. And you actually tapped on your watch, which is an incredible, the watch, an incredible move to tap on your watch is like, man, Amin's really hogging all my time here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
He tells me right before the microphones come on, I went to a wizards game last night or last week. That's still your responsibility.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Samson, your thoughts, though, on bad teams, like what makes them bad? Because what I'm saying about the Wizards, there are any number of bad teams in the NBA.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Thank you, Chris. For real expertise on what it is to run a bad team, David Sampson of Nothing Personal gives us, it's the perfect place to start. What was it like to be the Wizards those years that it felt like you were the Wizards?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Innings eater. He'll give you a five ERA. You'll keep throwing him out there. He won't get hurt. And he'll give you just give up five runs in six innings. And that's and you'll lose all those games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
him jacob turner ricky nalasco nathan avaldi he's got a hang i'm far more embarrassed that mark hendrickson was an opening day pitcher there we go that's a good one that's the biggest embarrassment in my career you're playing it better not surprisingly than chris cody but you did understand that chris cody was just trying to and succeeded say a funny name like he was just looking through all of those rosters and trying to find one and then he conjured a shape when he said that funny name
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
And all of us thought to ourselves here who knew who he was talking about, oh, yeah, that square that David Sampson, like physical square, would throw out there for six innings because David Sampson needed an employee to go out there and throw six innings so they could get to losing their hundred games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Somebody go out there every fifth day, cash this check and earn it because I need someone to spend five innings out there. That's the math you were doing with your business then, was it not? Like you admire this man because he was a good employee.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
This is why you want to start with that topic, so that David has some expertise.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Taller than Volstad? Wasn't Volstad? I thought – wasn't Hendrickson like 6'10"? Do I have this wrong? He's a summer league guy. I thought he was a basketball player.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
Oh, good call. Uh, when we talk tall people, I want to show you guys a picture here when I'm talking about the proportion of these things, because I don't think most people think listening to this, that Steve Kerr is big. He's tall. Steve Kerr is six, four.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)
If you think of him as a player, you might not think of him as that tall, but this picture right here, I very infrequently feel small around people. That's Mike Miller, a shooter and Udonis Haslam, an undersized power forward. Um, The when you say these people are tall, David, you're perpetually feeling like that, are you not?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
This episode of the Dan Levitard Show with Stu Gatz is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.

Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
The Boost Mobile Boldest Take from the Week is presented by Boost Mobile, the newest 5G network in the country. This is very exciting, Dan. We got 90 seconds here. The best of the best.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
Hey, the listeners brought it. They brought it. That was pretty good. Some bold takes there. Every Bob Seger song, one minute too long. Is that true?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
He said any candy with the word candy in it is trash. Candy corn, candy cane. I think he said one more, but I can't remember it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
Cotton candy. He's spot on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
I know we're talking Kugler, but I've often gotten this. People are sometimes surprised by how I can move.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
Yeah, you know, I can do my thing. You're jealous of Kugler? I'm just saying, I would have thought I would have been mentioned first, but we can say Coogler.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
I do the Michael Jackson kick a little too often.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
No, see, no, see. You guys offended me. Let's watch Coog's dance. Coog, why don't you come in here and dance?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
No, no, no, it's fine. Let's have Cougs dance.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
Oh, the Panther dance, that's right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
It's a winner. I know what a winner is. I have a winner. Oh, wow, Cougs, really good dancer. I mean, geez, what are we doing here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
Look at the person. Look at the way he physically looks and then his dance move. I've actually seen Coogs a video of him dancing at a wedding and he actually can dance really well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
I'm in for a dance off.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
We're going to build up to it. I'm not doing it today. I need to prepare, but I'll have a dance-off. What do you need to do to prepare for a dance-off? You know, look in the mirror, see what I'm working with. I need to know what song we're going to do it to. I'm not just doing this willy-nilly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
I need some things to hold on to. Bad girl. It's very important here in this. Michael K wouldn't be doing this if he didn't have these nice bars to hang on to. Some elevators don't have the bars.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
No, if you look, the door is to his right. You can see the sign on the side of the door. This is the side of the elevator.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
I think he put his phone down, tilted up. Yeah, the arrows are there. The door is to the left.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
My friend Michael can't dance. Guys, you need a detente. Let's listen to you guys. Both of you take a deep breath.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
Why are they putting Mike Fuentes up there? This is not how we're making editorial decisions. Wait a minute.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
It's not good dancing. Listen to me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
Major penalty, five minutes. Screaming comedy. Take us, then go. Take us, then go. I don't care.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
I would love to play that game with you, but I'm going to need the video team back because they're going to have to cut to something. That's a really good point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
Look, it's like an encore. They just walked back in like the encore is happening.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
All right, let's play patriotic or annoying. All right, we're going to play a video here. Imagine you're on a plane. All right. You're having a nice long flight. And all of a sudden, somebody walks to the front of the thing, grabs the little microphone that the flight attendants talk on. And relax. And he sings. And this is what you hear. Is this patriotic or annoying?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
Why you started with me? I would be annoyed. If I'm on that flight and all of a sudden people are singing, I'm like, no, no thanks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
Yeah, put it on the poll, Dan. I'll be anti-American. I don't want that on my flight. No, I mean, we can all agree. That sucks, right? I'm good in the terminal. Maybe the terminal before the flight. Insecurity. Let's get a song going in security. Do we know each other?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
Do all 192 people on this flight know each other? Yes. I doubt it. Then no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
On how it was written for Canada. That's an American song. Was it? But it's not. He literally wrote Proud to be a Canadian.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
The internet would not tell you that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
The question is, did he have the egg in his little jacket pocket? Or was it just holding it maybe in his hands behind his back?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
Show me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
This is a big moment here, Dan. Let's go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
It actually matches the undershirt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Cote's Michael Jackson Leg Kick (feat. Pat Forde)
It does match the undershirt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I got to tell you guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
No, atmosphere I think matters more to college football than any other sport. You can't take a college sport, I know it's professional, they're paying the players, and bring it to an NFL indoor stadium in a city that's really not prepared for something like that. You can't do it. I propose the Rose Bowl for every national championship game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Safe place.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Hell no. God, losing to that team up north is never a good thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Stugatz. Don't do it. This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stugatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
It is shocking until you realize it's Jeremy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
You did it yourself?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
It's very easy to use.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
It couldn't be easier. You want me to set up the handle? I'll send myself some money.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Just as a test.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I'm sure it's too late, but I'll give it a try.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Stanford Steve.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Yeah, you don't have to watch five, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
There's Rocky one through four. You can skip five, and then I think it gets to Creed. So there's two or three Creeds, I think. That doesn't count.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
All true, except I read the book. I mean, listen to the audiobook. Stugatzbook.com.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Yeah, and just teaching you the book game, because you've never written a book. Greg and I have. We have another edition of the audiobook, a special edition coming out on Father's Day. Nice. Speaking of grifts. Very nice. Of your book coming out on Father's Day? Special edition, yeah. Wow. Why is it special? You're reading it. Okay. Did you just call your own book a grift?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
But don't say that part. No, but I'm just saying that's what they teach you in the book industry. I learned this a long time ago. They teach you, hey, the book is never, ever finished. It's never done. We never stop selling the book. There's always a Father's Day, a Mother's Day right around the corner.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I was sent a picture from a Key West bookstore. Thank you to everyone at Key West that the book was sold out. The guy who took the picture was purchasing the final book in that store. It's amazing. Thank you to everyone. Seriously.

It's me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Here's another secret, okay? If, God forbid, it's not going to happen, but if the Phoenix Suns make it to the NBA Finals, do we start promoting the book like it's new again? I mean, Kevin Durant, championship rings? This is amazing. Let's hope it happens. It won't, but let's hope it happens.

That's not the move to get him. I think they've run out of options, though, with Jimmy Butler, no? Like, if they have to take picks, they have to take picks. He doesn't want to be here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
He wishes he was 35. Yes, his Instagram knows he's about to be 40. The way Dan wishes he was 50, like he said before. Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I agree with the Heat. I said it then. I still agree with them. I mean, he could put up those numbers in his sleep.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
What happens is you're left to ask those questions. That's the product of the workplace environment. You are now left to question, is Jimmy Butler actually trying his hardest when he's playing basketball? And I don't have the answer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
But they did it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
He's also the guy, though, and I think his teammates would probably agree with this, that, you know, made them relevant. brought them at a time where the Heat weren't supposed to be relevant. Jimmy Butler became a player we never thought he'd become, and he led them to the NBA Finals and a couple of trips to the Eastern Conference Finals. Like, that's fairly amazing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
But what if Jimmy is saying, I did the Heat culture thing, you may be the best player I've ever been at any point in my career, and the reward is what?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
To almost achieve that.

But this seems for Mike, and I think he's right about this, and he's been saying this for a while now, this is a sport-to-sport thing. This is about the product of hockey being better than the product of the NBA right now. And it's hard to disagree with that. It's a much more entertaining product. It really is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
No, you're right, Chris, but you have no indication. You have to stack cups. That's why you have to do it. But you have no indication the Panthers are going to be bad anytime soon. You'll never get that from Dave Hyde, by the way.

Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Do you know that? We're going to have Patrick Sertan on with us in a little bit. Patrick Sertan was the greatest cornerback in Miami Dolphins history. And Patrick Sertan, his son... is now the favorite for Defensive Player of the Year, which took me aback because when's the last time a corner won Defensive Player of the Year?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Their pass rush was so good, at least in part, because Patrick Sertan was able to always cover the number one receiver well. He was unbelievable as a corner.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Man, all right, both of them, father and son, next.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Stugats, what a thrill this is. You might see right in front of you right now what might be the best cornerback in Dolphins history and is the second best cornerback on this particular call. I think I can say that. I could... I could probably say it better than that if I had another chance at it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
But what we have on the line here, one cornerback is a three-time pro bowler and an all-pro selection at cornerback. But the other is also a three-time pro bowler and a two-time first-team all-pro selection at quarterback. And he's done it in four seasons.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
So I'm guessing that it breaks Patrick Sertan's heart and fills his heart to say publicly as a cocky cornerback that his son is already better than he is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Well, but do I say anything that's incorrect? Patrick Jr., or Patrick II, excuse me, can you tell me whether or not, what kind of memories do you have of your father's greatness? Did you know he was great?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Patrick Sr., do you regard yourself as the best defensive back or the best corner in Dolphins history?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Patrick Jr., did you know those stats of your father? Seven and a half sacks? How many sacks you got?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Oh, but wait a minute. The reason that your teammates got as many sacks, got more sacks than anyone in the NFL this year is because you're back there as defensive player of the year covering people. So you didn't get the sacks, but you got the sacks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Who do you regard as in your class as a corner? Stingley, obviously, this postseason is getting a lot of talk. But when I think you're the favorite to win defensive player of the year, are you not? Like, who do you regard as as good as you at this?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
But do you think you're the defensive player of the year?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Dad, what's the game you saw that you were like, oh, oh, he can shut down anybody? There are any games that you're a little scared before it because you're like, okay, this one's a challenge for my son?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Hold on, though. When you played, Sam Madison was the talker. You didn't have much of anything to say to anybody. You were better than everybody, and you didn't say much of anything. Are you telling me that in the stands at his games before you were a coach, you couldn't shut up because you were yelling at everybody?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Are you saying that you're sprinting right past him as he returns a pick six for a touchdown? You're just running next to your son?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Wait a minute. Who's more embarrassed there? Certainly your son is embarrassed. Is he not?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Sorry to the kid. But so explain this part to us. When you have the gratitude and the swelling of what is – Really proud love. How often will you... Like, what is the height of being moved by watching him play?

Justin Jefferson is not a broken clock, Justin Jefferson. I don't know. C.D. Lamb is not a broken clock. I don't know. I am listening to Patrick, but I'm looking at these extraterrestrials who are playing wide receiver, and I got to tell you, Dan, they're a lot larger than the ones you were guarding. They're a lot faster. Oh, hold up, hold up, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Okay. Just back off, man. You know what? I stand corrected. Okay. Fair enough.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Fair enough. I'm sorry. I deserve that for the disrespect. But I do marvel at the people your son is covering, and I don't know who he respects so much that he would say, yeah, that's a person who keeps me up a little the night before because I know that's going to be the challenge that's about as good as I am.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Fair enough. Eric Moulds was also a handful. But give me some names. Give me the guys, Junior, that keep you up just a little bit. A little extra sleepless.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

You're just looking at your schedule. Do you have a schedule magnet on your computer right there?

Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Dad, is there anything in his physical mannerisms that you're watching him or that anyone in your family is watching and they see you in him when he's playing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Junior, what does dad have to say to you after the game when his Miami Dolphins have put 70 points on your defense?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
OK, I'm sorry I did that to you, but your dad seemed to be laughing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Your dad went to get drunk in the club. While you're suffering on the football field. You're allowing 70 points and your dad is hammered before the fourth quarter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
So what you're saying, you were basically drinking to make the pain go away is what you're saying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
For the players, absolutely. As he told you about that one, does your son know the score of that game? The game that sent Dan Marino into retirement. Does your son even remember the score of that game?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)

Everyone's giving takes, and it's hard for you to find one that's gas bag worthy when all I hear is Dan Dockich over here saying idiotic thing after idiotic thing, but you guys aren't listening to real gas bags.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Which do you think is better? Which one do you think should win? Well, let's find out together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
That was after they lost to Jameis on Thursday night and then ended up losing four of their last five games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
So that's against. OK, that's the one they won. And so he's saying after that, they went on a five game losing streak.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Yeah. They lost all of those games by one by 14 plus points. So there wasn't really. Yes, they were playing against good teams, but there wasn't anyone in the league losing quite like that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Can you guys find for me? Because there was a historic cowherd take that aged most poorly as it regarded to instantaneous analysis on a famous quarterback of some sort that was spectacularly intergalactically wrong. And I've told you guys before that Colin Cowherd, like some others, has figured out that it doesn't matter what your words are.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
There is money to be made in being wrong, loudly wrong, as long as you just get it out there and it gets aggregated because credibility doesn't much matter anymore as long as you're just getting the eyes for whatever it is that you're saying. We will get to that in a second if I can remember it. But Jessica, I wanted to talk to you about this Brad Pitt scammer lady.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Explain to me what is happening here with AI. I get fooled very easily by AI. Is this happening to the rest of you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
I thought that was Mike Ryan from this distance just popping up in the surgery room. I didn't even know, like from behind a corner of the surgery room because it's so far and it looks so incredibly fake. But I've got to think. that if I'm regularly being fooled by AI stuff that's not this crude, it's happening to everybody, correct? Especially the voice stuff, like the fake audio.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
How easy is it to fool you on all of this fake audio that they can make to sound exactly like Mike Tomlin is saying something he's not actually saying?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
I found a clip here. It's a Lamar Jackson take, and I want to get to it in a second. I'll be really Josh glad when we get to it. I just can't believe how bad a joke that was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Really nice guy. What's he asking for? He needs 70K.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
I will acknowledge, though, that comedically, the syllable count name and visual of Josh Gad was perfectly chosen by Chris Cody. Like just as someone randomly calling you and they've got a name and the name is Josh Gad. I don't think you could have picked a better celebrity for me to like let that go to voicemail because I don't want to cash that favor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
You say it's a good question, Jessica, but I will show you and have to show you, and it's not just because I've been sipping here Cuervo for about 40 minutes. I need to shine a light on what Billy just did there, which is he turned a conversation we were having that was already absurd about Josh Gad asking Chris Cody for money. Yeah, and then made it about a kidney instead of the money.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
Then made it about copay when all I want is the Lamar Jackson sound. So I'm only- My time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Would You Give Josh Gad Your Kidney? (feat. Patrick Surtain & Patrick Surtain II)
I am only willing to go so far with Billy on this. He's making me Josh sad. I want to play the Lamar Jackson sound on Colin Coward, please. This is the analysis as Lamar Jackson is coming out of college.

Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
You're listening to DraftKings Network.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
Things just got a little awkward there. So let me be the first on this show to congratulate you on the new wife, Vince. Congratulations on feeling whole, feeling complete. Let's talk tailgating. Yeah. When he was so disappointed in Dan, did you see his face? He looked so pissed off.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
Right. I like him as my quarterback. Well, no shit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
The face of shame, yes. Ooh, I did that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
I'm just glad to hear a nice love story. Look at the difference in faces between Whittingham and Billy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
Let me, yes, it's the difference between the chairs. It's the difference between the responsibilities of the chairs. Yes, that's exactly right. Why do you think? Billy hates sitting in that chair so much.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
Nobody loves love like this man, Vince Woolfolk. It is so perfect. Witty, Jess, Billy. That encapsulates the entire show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
He said that they're still friends. I'm sure that's true. We didn't make it. We didn't make it. I'm with Dan. It's an awkward, odd way. It's a bit much. It's actually a nice way of saying it. That's what I mean.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
He fooled me for 16 games!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
I don't know. Dan, he's still going to get paid. He's not going to get paid what he was going to get paid a couple of weeks ago. But he had 35 touchdowns, 12 interceptions. And I look, and this is a product of the Jets just being a lousy organization. Last year, not this year, last year was his rookie year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
With Kyle Shanahan, he learned under that quarterback coach, that quarterback whisperer, and then came to Minnesota. And this is really his first full year as a starting quarterback. He gave you 4,300 yards, 14 wins, 35 touchdowns, 12 interceptions. I know he was lousy in the biggest game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
I mean, I hear you. I feel like Viking fans and those announcers should applaud Sam Darnold. The quarterback they drafted, the guy who was supposed to be their quarterback, J.J. McCarthy, went down and in walked Sam Darnold and got them 14 wins, got them relevant the entire year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
Stugatz! Things just got a little awkward there. So let me be the first on this show to congratulate you on the new wife, Vince. Congratulations on feeling whole, feeling complete. You know? Let's talk tailgating. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
I love that movie, Jobin. It's a great show. It's a great scene.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
Oh, wow, this is so good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
It is because you're a woman. Women can't do that. Only Rodney Dangerfield can. Clearly. You have to have a penis to do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
A playlist for Stugatz. Lazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
Always needs to be better. Got it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
Correct. But at least the Bears haven't caught up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
Hawkinson, you got it. Aaron Jones.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
He's holding it too long. Throw it, man. Yeah, things are moving really fast down there. He's scared too. Throw it, man. He's holding it too long.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
The just run is great. It's so easy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
Both of them matter-of-factly, they really are surgically dissecting the Rams defense from up there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
Yeah, pocket presence.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
Right, all those guys are doing when they do that is buying themselves the extra second or two that they need to get rid of the football. Right, a half a second maybe. But you're asking Sam Darnold in that spot, when you say just run, man, you're asking him to be Jaden Daniels. He's not Jaden Daniels.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
Right. Jaden is the guy most teams are looking for, right? Cheap and mobile. And great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
You also have Justin Jefferson, so that's not what you're doing generally. Not a team strength to drive down the field, Sam Darnold, four yards at a time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
Sam did rush it 67 times for 212 yards this season, a career high. Four yards at a time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
He's gotten very good at it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
To the guys calling the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Slappin Da Bass with Jordan Schultz
I hope Greg Olson's agent is ready for this negotiation, man.

Hour 2: The Shit-ification of America Continues
What does the future hold for business? It's a question I've been asking myself. And I know if you ask nine experts, you're going to get 10 different answers. Bull market, bear market, inflation up, inflation down. Could someone please just invent a crystal ball? Until that day comes, over 41,000 businesses have already future-proofed themselves with NetSuite by Oracle, the number one cloud ERP.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Shit-ification of America Continues
Das war's für heute. Bis zum nächsten Mal. NetSuite.com slash DLB NetSuite.com slash DLB

Hour 2: The Shit-ification of America Continues
At Yale in 1965, Frederick Smith wrote a paper in which he outlined that there would be hubs and spokes that would help create something that eventually would be FedEx. He started it in 1971 after serving four years in the Marine Corps in Vietnam. He fed into the story that this paper received a seat. Und jetzt ist sein Sohn der Offensive-Koordinator für die Steelers. Ja.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Shit-ification of America Continues
Yeah, with the white belt. Don't do that. Nicklaus was 46. So he's still alive. But, you know, what Tiger could do if he wants to stick around is he could follow that path that you're not saying LeBron James is taking and just do some PEDs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Shit-ification of America Continues
So should I ask Dan if he wants to ask if Tiger should... Dan, do you want to ask if Tiger should take some PEDs here to recover from the Achilles injury?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Shit-ification of America Continues
Not even once. Not even if Mr. Boost Mobile himself asked me to. There is nothing funny about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Okay. Bells are a ringing is the way you chose to say that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Okay. Bells are a ringing. The thing that stunned me in all of this. Is Jessica making a Footloose reference? Because I did not believe that a movie with Kevin Bacon. Jerry Orbach, too. Letting off steam by going to dance in a warehouse. A time I long for. Do you long for? Put it on the poll at Levitas show. Do you long for the day when people blew off steam by dancing at a warehouse?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
I did not know that Footloose resonated today in any way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
I feel like, wasn't Dirty Dancing a little later than Footloose? I felt like Footloose was the groundbreaker on we're going to dance like white people all over the place. And then all of a sudden, yeah, Footloose was a different time. Three years apart.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Footloose was 1984. I think of Footloose as an ancient movie, and an ancient movie that there's no way, like Dirty Dancing might hold up, there's no way Footloose holds up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Jeremy is getting a lot of praise for that song. Amin is taking a lot of heat for saying that a lot of celebrities would attend his funeral depending on what city he died in and where he was buried.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
That's brutal. What a rough life he had.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
You were really disrespectful to Kevin Bacon there while just dismissing him by slapping him across the face with a Hollow Man. I mean, he made that movie. I didn't make it. I saw it, though. Kevin Bacon has had a distinguished career. You're dismissing a... Kevin Bacon, who would... Wait a minute. What are you saying that for?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Kevin, you don't believe Kevin Bacon would be an all-star if he were in the NBA?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
You don't believe that Kevin Bacon's career would be all-star game worthy?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
One all-star game. Yes. You give Kevin Bacon one all-star game that everyone questioned because he scored 12 points a game. You guys back me up on this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Kevin Bacon has had a career that has resonated for four decades.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Like Jamal McGlore. But he's in A Few Good Men.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Kevin Bacon has to be considered somebody as a name in the movies and television that you associate with being in good things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Billy brings up a good point, though. I don't know if Kevin Bakins is famous if his name is Kevin Jones.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
But why would you? If your nickname was champ, you got to go with the better champ there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Well, but unless you've actually won the heavyweight title and they're calling you Muhammad Ali, they're calling you champ after you've played, right? Or after your career is over.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
All right. Keep working. Keep working on that. We can circle back around at any point, by the way, selling like hotcakes. If you guys want to give me some hotcakes information.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Chief is excellent. And Chief is excellent for a number of reasons, including anyone who's using it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
I'll take it from here champ Kevin parfait Kevin Danish mmm Kevin yogurt would Kevin I Wouldn't like that no Kevin oatmeal We're just naming breakfast foods.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Related to Jon Hamm? No, Kevin Sausage is good. Kevin Sticky Bun. Billy's initial Kevin Sausage. Kevin Guanciale.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
You guys are, I think you're right. You have revealed a bias to me that I am elevating the career of Kevin Bacon because I just like bacon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
I mean, I wanted to get your thoughts here as the host of Oddball and somebody who hasn't... I have not heard your thoughts on Stephen A. and LeBron's confrontation. Stephen A. has gone on Gil's Arena podcast and he says now... Because this is the tone that is a bit different than the apologetic one. And all of its content and all of it is good for everybody, I would say, except for Bronny.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Except for Bronny. This is good for... I think LeBron buys himself something with being a father in this situation and defending his son. But now Stephen A has escalated during a slow content week. He's saying, I thought it was weak what LeBron did at the Lakers game confronting him. I thought it was some bullshit. But in the moment, I knew that I was listening to a father, end quote.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
He also says... That he remembers looking during a timeout in the first corner and he saw Bronny looking at him and he saw a sad look on his face. And he's imagining that LeBron saw that and that that shit hit him, end quote. So now he's interpreting Bronny's face.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
The day. Journalism. I have never heard the sentence on our show before, I know I can be conceited.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
That show, Gil's Arena, has become popular, and they've been waiting for Stephen A. to make this appearance. You guys are—you've told me before that you get a little tired of me talking about this, but I am fascinated by our business, and he's climbed to the top of it, evolving better than most.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
at least in part because he can keep pushing the envelope into places where he is now in all of the power settings and he can be the news while he's in the middle of it. And as you said, can't go to a movie theater because his kind of fame, they should call it ASPN right now. They should just, as part of the new contract negotiations, just rename it ASPN. But pronounce it ASPN? ASPN.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Just ASPN, because he has gotten more and more power and now can— make the news, and create content for a whole bunch of people during a week by having a confrontation that he's rewarded from when LeBron gets so agitated with don't tell me how to be a father on television.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Well, but I've just never heard, I mean, Mike embodies that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Because people are doing something reductive here with this where they're just saying, what do you mean we can't criticize Bronny? It ain't that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
But I know I can be conceited is not something I've ever heard from anyone on this show. You have Mike having the self-awareness to think that he... Oh, he knows he's smug. Oh my God, yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Do you guys find funny that Shannon Sharp is trying to fight the Grizzlies court side? That the media is climbing into this space in a way that is cartoonishly beyond wherever Howard Cosell was as the lead broadcaster and face for media and media company. Do you guys find that interesting or not so much? Just bored by it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
The number of times that I, allegedly his boss, say something to him and he responds with, you sound like my wife. Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
You're the one who's messing up. When I see family patterns develop in that household, you understand that she is telling Chris Cody as if he were a toddler. Not after 830.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
This is wild Billy Wednesday, and I need you to take control of the situation here, Billy. I need some governance over what's happening here where Jeremy feels the need to give an acceptance speech when he gets some applause around here. I need you to help him with culture.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
I'm just saying, you've got to go to 40 Marlins games. You've got to watch them lose. They're going to pay me to do it. It's awesome.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
It's kind of cool. That part is good. Yes, congratulations. We are happy for you. Good week. That is a real Metal Ark victory there that you can... Scab? Scab?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
This right here is Scott Stapp playing. This looks just like the Creed singer when he was young. Does it not?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
I think there's probably copyright issues. I wanted to talk about a couple of things that made an appearance yesterday that delighted me. One of them was the return of Rich Rodriguez scolding us while being the West Virginia coach. It was just delightful to see him back there again and then saying that his players can no longer dance on TikTok. He has forbidden it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Yes, it's wonderful. And somebody else came back yesterday in a similar way. Jim Boeheim, you've got to understand that this person, Jim Boeheim, when he won a championship with Carmelo Anthony, solidified himself as a legendary coach in the sport. But they couldn't rein him in. And this has been the case for a couple of years with Boeheim.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Boeheim was on the loose, drunk with power the last couple of years at Syracuse, holding on to a legacy. that almost refuse to be tarnished. But listen to Jim Boeheim on a broadcast, and the broadcaster's trying to reel him in and can't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Well, not surprising, right, that a caveman from another time would have very little connection to Ramadan. But as someone who is fasting and as someone who's fascinated in me by athletes trying to do this with religious rigor— I don't think of you as a spiritual person. I think of you as generally somebody who is a bit of a cynic about God.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
And so where you partake in the disciplines of – what are you doing? What do you – you don't think – you think of yourself – I'm a cynic about God?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Lewis. Wild Billy Wednesday. Lewis is what he says. Just inside, on top of inside, on top of inside. I do want that music to introduce him on Wednesdays. Like, I want Wednesdays. This is one of the most iconic sounds anywhere in the history of sound right here. Look at Billy delighted because he threw the show to Lewis.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
How much of that can we play? Ramadan, you being someone who is strict and disciplined about this means that this means something to you deeply.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
The part of no water. is the part that is hard to get my head around, trying to play basketball in a weakened state where you're, I don't know, like I don't know what the effects are on the body, but I imagine that they're cruel.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
How old is Boeheim at this point? Because maybe we do grandfather him in on just, ah, let grandpa just talk. Let it unspool.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
How do we feel, though, about Rich Rodriguez telling his players no more TikTok dancing? It doesn't represent the things that we are.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Kevin Con Leche
Well, there is a formality to saying smoking cannabis. And I don't know why Jeremy said bells are a-ringing.

You're saying he has upside because of how terrible he's been, so you just assume he can't get any worse. No, it's because of where he was drafted.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
Well, that's why I guess they put out there the whole thing that they're going to have him on innings and limits so he'll be available in October for a team, which they then went and denied that earlier this week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
Yeah, Sandy said he hadn't heard that, which honestly made last year's trade so weird when they got rid of a rise like a month into the season where you didn't have the offseason desperation of some teams and then you didn't have the added desperation of the playoff teams at the deadline, which I didn't really understand the timing of that one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
But that's like also like you were talking about watching the Baldwin show. Like that is just a show for people to kind of like Alec Baldwin again or make him seem relatable after the situation on Rust.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

So he bought that originally.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
That's such a fear of mine. I know it's like a ridiculous fear, but like I used to think about that all the time when we were on 790. Like if I was doing a show and I just have like some sort of stomach issue and we have like a three minute break, I'm in really bad trouble. You know what I mean?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
If I was hosting the show and I just had to have a bathroom emergency, I don't think I could do a live show for that very reason.

David, would you rather be listening to this conversation or waiting on Holden? We just are late to a segment start.

The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
Not 30. Not 30. I'll tell you what. Someone stole that take from me later in the day. The LASIK take? Could you imagine Jameis Winston on the Steelers? Someone stole that from me. A major player.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
Who stole it? DraftKings took it and they put it on their account. What would you imagine? Jameis Winston? Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
OK, but while we're normally sloppy, late and inconsiderate in this particular case, would you afford me the trust that I was handling something? And I know you've made it plenty clear that if we're a few minutes late, you're going to have sour, sour smell face as soon as we start.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
We have started.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
When I did, when we started, you had a sour face as if you weren't happy to be here. And I believe that you should be happy to be here because you've got a successful podcast and because we've helped make you a successful podcast. And what do you what do you what's funny about that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
So I have a problem on my hands here, David. I need the guy that I was just arguing with to find for me Darren Revell so I can have a business off between you and Darren Revell tomorrow where you guys have a competition to see who knows more about business and we put you up against each other. Are you good with that? Get on that, Coogler, please.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Is that what you were arguing about for 12 minutes? That and other things. So let's see if we can do that tomorrow. I'd like to find Ravel and have you go against each other. I also need to get to, because I think we're outside of the local hour, but I really do think there's a topic here that the entire room would engage on excitedly. And it's that the Marlins have a Hall of Fame now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
And who do you put in the Marlins Hall of Fame? Now, this is something that the nation at large could not give one flying bleep about. Not one flying bleep. I am acknowledging on the front end, this is the sports talk nobody wants.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
No, no, but this is the thing. This is the thing. This show wishes to talk about this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
This show wishes to talk about how few or how many Samson would allow through those hallowed doors that no one else cares about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Let's argue. Allow me. So, yes, hold on. Everybody back away. Just back away. Because, David, what's about to happen right now. No, no, no. No, no. David. You want to take a wild guess? David. David. This is so good. David, as you claim to be a Hall of Famer in the Marlins Hall of Fame, okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
No, no. Just so he knows. Just so that he knows. Okay? We know that David's a teammate and everything else. But what I saw flash across Mike's face is never. Like, never, never, never. And I was right behind him over my dead body. Over my dead body.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Will David Sampson be allowed in the Marlins Hall of Fame? Never.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Oh, my God. They were going to save the economy in the neighborhood, and it's just una bodega. Una bodega. I was making up that part. You don't say you were going to save the local economy. You thief. Just that Hall of Fame.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Chris Cody just whispered to me that David dying is his only shot. And what I say is that at the funeral for David Sampson, we should absolutely open around him two Hall of Fames. The Hall of Fame that he gets to go into that is the Hall of Fame first ballot of people who killed the sport in this market. And also the Hall of Fame on people who saved the sport in this market.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Because that stadium did indeed save the... It would not be here. They would not have a place to play. It'd be seven people at a football stadium that we'd still be doing now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
It's not going to be never like Mike says, but it will be only if he lives into his thousands. Because he's not human. Because he's not a human being. David, before we get to your review of the week, I am told that you have a sponsored segment now. I don't know how it is that this happened. I don't know how it is that Top 5 Kisses is something that you're here to do in a sponsored segment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Can you please take me through what it is that we're doing right now?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
It is. No, is the short answer. That's how he does it. But I didn't know how I was going to segue from the fun we were having to David wants to talk about kisses.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
There's not music. Okay, so I'm glad you guys prepared. Is that my fault too? Sports movie kisses? Okay, yes. Because Chris and David Sampson worked so hard on how to do this well for the sponsor, they've got a top five list of top five movie kisses. Any OLI or we're just starting with number five?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Oh, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
This is a movie that only David and Richard Dreyfuss are trying to keep alive in the American consciousness. It's just not worth you bringing up every segment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
No, it is not.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
That's it, Chris? He's got sultry music for you. Now we finally got some. See, now this is how you say Valentine's Day. See, look, a little effort from Chris Cody. It's still kisses in sports movies. That's right. But this is how we do it. Bill Raftery, the kiss. That's right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Tomei. Tomei. Tomei. You got your own Venmo fine bucket.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
You may want to watch that. You may want to watch that. Like, why did you raise your eyebrows? The whole thing. Super horny. It was, it was, it was, it was, you creeped all of us out with it. All of us were made uncomfortable by your eyebrows. Please don't do that again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
I do want to do, I think, Sensual Samson. I think this is a good character.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
That was, by the way, after Tom Barringer with a man on second surprised everybody with a bunt and the guy scored from second. Because no one was expecting Tom Barringer to be able to leg out a bunt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
But again, Wesley Snipes scored from second in the amount of time it took a collapsing Tom Barringer to arrive at first.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Samson, we have no time for a review unless you can do it in a minute. No, that was the segment, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Oh, that was your phone. OK, so that's twelve dollars, you know, because you also have coughed several times into the microphone while trying to just make it 20. Let's OK. So an even 20. Yes. Yes. Go ahead. Twenty dollars.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Go ahead, Tony. Make fun of Samson. No, I just like I like the idea of Samson sitting by himself. Dark. All of a sudden, he's like, oh! Listen, listen to me. That's what I do. I want you to imagine this because it's how I imagine it. David Sampson, a child. David Sampson who's told us he's afraid of the dark. David Sampson who has since conquered his fear of the dark.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
I imagine him in his insomnia in a very large room watching a horror movie when he doesn't want to watch horror movies. And now he is five-year-old David Sampson. Wearing thong sandals. Five years old.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Samson, thank you. Chris Cody, you've never been better. Your musical choices were really artistic there. Kugler, business off tomorrow. Samson and Ravel. Thank you, Samson.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
I was arguing with someone.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Now I don't believe any of it. And so we were busy, and it's not Cuban time. You were looking at me. You could see on the screen. Anyway, all right, we will start. Nothing Personal is the name of his podcast, and he's also doing the sporting class with Pablo Torre and John Skipper.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
It's an award-winning, critically acclaimed thing that is no longer just me saying over and over again, hey, there's nothing like this in sports business. You haven't heard an hour like this. It's actually been seen now by the people who cover this stuff and like sports business, and they're like, oh, shit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
This per square inch has more business terrain that's being covered than like leaps and bounds beyond wherever Darren Revell got famous. Like this is sports business being covered better than anyone's covering it. So that's his other podcast, The Sporting Class.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
How did I get that stray? You got the stray or Ravel got the stray?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
I didn't even mean it as a stray. Darren Ravel is the singular business sports journalist that other people think of when they think of sports business. Yes or no?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Who is?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Really? Okay, so that's what you're... Okay. All right, here we go. I backed him up. I think I found him. Just to be clear, let's be clear. You think right now that the nation thinks that you're a better and bigger sports business journalist than Darren Revell?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
He made you. And still not as famous as Ravel. I don't even know what he's doing. What's Samson doing there? You think that you're bigger than Ravel? I think you're better than him. And then they say he's catching a stray, but you are better than him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Look, this is a bold claim that David Sampson is making, and he's shooting a national and international salvo across the career of Ravel saying, I have surpassed you. I don't believe anyone other than David Sampson right now is saying that. I think Sampson's the only one saying that. Who else is saying that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Yeah, you want to say that correctly?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Yeah, it sounded funny. David, tell me all you can. Pablo Torre did a deep dive on all of the dysfunctions in the Minnesota Timberwolves' ownership. And A-Rod, who you negotiated with and learned how little he knew about business, is now running the Timberwolves, or won the arbitration hearing that he needed to win. And what has happened there is how interesting to you. Like, what does it mean?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Explain it to me better than Ravel would.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
We're not talking. We're not talking about value. We're talking about fame.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Not really. Not really.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Oh!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
I don't even, I mean, he's associated with sports business. People are fascinated by sports business. And he's got the unique personality of being someone in this community of people who like sports, of being sort of famously dorky. Like, well, you know, he'll run 40 yards and is a personality. Like, he's a bigger personality than I am.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
David Sampson is with us. Look at his face. David Sampson is seething. He's so mad. David, look. What's he mad about? David, we're a sloppy outfit. We're not always on time. I'm sorry you're so punctual, and I'm sorry we made you wait eight minutes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: David Samson's Case For The Marlins Hall of Fame
Okay. I'm sorry we made you wait 12 minutes, David. I'm sorry. I'm genuinely sorry. I was dealing with, I'm dealing with crisis management here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
I'm just picturing David on one of those, like, six people bike things at the zoo where they're all, like, pedaling around. Come on, guys, let's go see the hippo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
You should have known. Guys, spitball idea here. No bad ideas. What do you think tomorrow? We set up a Zoom camera on one of the balconies. We put a little food out there, and we just keep a live feed of it going throughout the whole show, and we check it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
I say we do a science experiment. We put food out there for an hour.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
See what happens. And then maybe we put Ethan out there for an hour. No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
Talk about the numbies that would get. Talk about the lawsuit that would get. Wrongful death.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
We're going to go for the visual bit of them standing next to each other and Ron saying which one would get picked.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
This episode of the Dan Lebitard Show with Stu Gatz is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
It should be the opposite here. I've stayed at this hotel. I don't want to be on the frickin' 40th floor. It's terrifying to be on the balcony.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
And when you get into a car, do you say, holy shit?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
Have you noticed friends that are like, oh, I'm going to catch the next one? Like when you're like, I'm going to go get an Uber. And they're like, I'm going to. I'll meet you there. I got to go upstairs and go to the bathroom first. You go ahead. By the way, we have a video, an update from Stugatz. Stugatz and Billy are at Radio Row. He's talking to Cam Jordan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
Oh, we have an update from New Orleans. And I'm being told the Old Spice guy. I don't know what's in this, but it's apparently a funny video. Here you go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
Yeah, but he, first of all, the idea that germs are like, oh, can't make a left. I'm just going to go straight here if he talks. But David, Billy missed the whole day and got medication. Like he was told by a doctor, you take this 24 hour later, you won't be contagious. So that's what.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
We all heard a different kind of spice. I think that's a cup mark. I think that's a shadow of his microphone. Yeah, that's the shadow of a microphone. Thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
Do you think there's a former assistant coach of Pat Riley at the time who's like, that's bullshit, man. I told him that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
I don't think it's the same shirt. We're putting this up now, not to interrupt you, but I think it's a different shirt. Different shirt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
I'm going to go out on a limb and say Billy does not have a wardrobe deal. He does not? Okay. I would think this might have been like a four-pack situation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
Again, things kids knew in the 90s. Oh, I know that. I don't remember the line back-to-back-to-back, but I do remember that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
We played the portion where he dropped the name. I don't know if you didn't hear it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
Don't do that. The real question is, how do I let them know that I'm Michael Jordan's son without saying it? You just give the ID and you hope that they make the connection.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
Trademark. I'm going to get it. If I see three Pete with two Es, I'm going to be like, yep, got it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
She has a headache? You get the hot water bottle and you lay it gently. My wife does this thing when she gets a headache where she puts the sleeping mask on because she doesn't want to open her eyes. And I take like a nice wet cloth and I just drip it on her forehead. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
Is he human? Chris, how does the game work? All right, David, we have questions for you, life scenarios. And you're going to tell and you're going to answer it. And then we will decide as judges if you're a human or not. Bring it. First one. You're at lunch with a friend. Your dish arrives before theirs does. God damn it. Are you starting to eat before your dish arrives? If it's cold...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
No, if it's hot, yes. All right, I think that's a human. That's a human response.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
Moving on, I'm gonna read this one a little better. You're on a four mile hike with a friend and they forgot their water bottle, but you have yours. Do you offer them any water? This is a great one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
How about you hand me your water bottle and I do that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
So we're split so far, one and one. All right, next question. Your significant other plans a dinner with a couple you find extremely boring. What do you do? I don't go. Judges? The human thing is to go. I feel like Amin agrees with him a little bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
David, you get asked to watch a close friend's two kids for three hours. What do you say? Crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
Thank you. Moving on, David, when's the last time you ate at a buffet of any kind? Good question. Terrible question.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Three Petes
Right. Final one. Final question. Simple rules. David, you get invited to go to the zoo with friends. Do you go? No. Not a human.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
What's the worst Super Bowl bet you've ever made? Do you have one?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
If you guys had to guess. Seahawks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
How many bets on the Super Bowl do you think Chris Felica currently has, like right now?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
At the time we're taping this, which is just over a week before the Super Bowl, if you had to guess the over or under on how many bets Felica has made on said Super Bowl, and I set the number at six, would you say over or under?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I'm saying yes. Anything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
It's over. It's over six.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
He grabbed all the lines. Are you saying that he has a ton of parlays with the Super Bowl winner attached to him?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
He's next level. You're right. But he also likes to let things play out. Like, he wants to know who's injured. He wants to know. He needs all the information. He's a professional. He takes this seriously. The Bear is with us right now. Chris Felica, our friend. We were discussing. We're about a week away from the Super Bowl. We were discussing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I set the over-under at six, Bear, as to how many bets you currently have on the Super Bowl. Mikey said way over. I say under.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
God bless football, Mike Golick. God bless football, Mikey A. God bless football, Gojo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
God bless football, Stu Gatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
All right, so when would you actually hone in, though? You will hone in and say, here are the Bears' bets, you know?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Thank you. We are at New Orleans Radio Row Super Bowl week. Chiefs and Eagles coming up. And the Bear, Chris Felica, is going to join us in about 10 minutes to give us his gambling advice. Look at Mikey A's face. He's not even here and he's happy. I mean.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Slow down a second, Bear. I have a pad and a pen. I got to write this down. So hold on a second. Mikey, you writing this down?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
All right, I heard Worthy, so go ahead.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I'm sending that thing out to make sure the line doesn't move too much on me. That a boy. Real ball knower. He's right. Isn't he the bear to come help out now? Mikey A is the one who knocks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Okay, wait a second. Did you have the Mahomes over that year, the year he kept kneeling? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
We're waiting for Billy to get here, unfortunately. Oh, jeez. Billy ill. He's a little under the weather.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Guys, this is very exciting, and I'm sorry I didn't get to it sooner. The Bear is part of the Fox pregame show for the Super Bowl. I think the Bear would rather be on his couch watching the game, but he's going to be a part of the Fox pregame show. What are you doing for the Fox pregame show? That is amazing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Oh, Billy. And down in this city especially, you're just asking for trouble.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Where do you rank New Orleans in terms of cities that host championship games?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
That's not good. Mike, so your dad thinks this is the best Super Bowl. Correct me if I'm wrong. The best Super Bowl city, New Orleans.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I will tell you guys that the Bear was nice enough to invite me to dinner on Wednesday with Jeff Schwartz. He said I could bring a plus one. I'm not certain who that plus one is going to be. It might be Billy Gill, but Bear is asking me to have dinner at 515. I mean, holy shit, dude. I am old, but I'm not that old, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Because it's a walking city. It's a walking city. It's not intimidated by the Super Bowl. Some cities when the Super Bowl comes to town, the Super Bowl becomes their whole personality. New Orleans is so much bigger than our little football game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Me and Schwartz, a couple of Jews cutting it up. How about that? Perfect.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Very nice. Good job out of you. You can't do that in the pregame show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Right. Mikey A is mad that we're having dinner and he's not coming. He's very upset.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I'm sorry. I tried, Mikey. Go ahead. Did you though? Did you though?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Billy tried harder. He did. It is the fence. Go ahead. I believe that. I know you do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I love the term grasshopper. That's a great term.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Yep. What have you consumed so far, Mike?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I love you so much, Bear. I really do. By the time Super Bowl Sunday rolls around, how many bets will you have on the Super Bowl?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
But I would imagine like Gatorade color, coin toss, length of the national anthem, all that stuff is beneath you there, right? Is that fair?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
No, I know. But you like the prop bets as long as you know the outcome in advance. Correct. Like if you know it's going to be heads, you'll bet the coin toss. Correct. But how would you possibly know that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Aren't you promoting diabetes prevention? I mean...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
It's got to be minus 1,000.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And you can't blame the defense for trying to time it and jumping off sides. Correct. You can't do that either. Something's got to give there, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Yeah. I mean, you need to have diabetes in order to then prevent or stave it off. Exactly. Checkmate.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Or you bet yes on the tush push. Love the tush push.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
But I'm with you. What's the best Super Bowl bet you've ever made? Like there's one that you remember, Bear. There's one you think back at. You're like, oh, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
You know what? I don't care that he doesn't have diabetes. That's what Radio Row Super Bowl winnings are about. I mean, come on. Oh, no. He's got diabetes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Oh, I have diabetes. Rest assured. The worst. Well earned. They are. I'm not giving Bill different. But, Stu Gatz, no, my dad went with the tried and true method of picking out food in New Orleans because we were talking about this the other night when we were walking to dinner. And when you walk around down here, as an outsider coming in, the locals probably know how to discern this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
It's all about can you put your head down on the pillow at night and fall asleep peacefully, okay? And listen, if you bet Mahomes and you win, great. I'm with you on this. You bet against Mahomes and you lose, you'll have sleepless nights for like a week, you know?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
You're so right. What's the worst bet you've made?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Well, since you brought them up, what did you make of their coaching hire?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Because as an outsider, you see all these signs, and it said, such and such, home of this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Or the original that. Yes. I have no idea if they're lying or telling the truth. And so Dad went and looked, and he found home of the whatever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
He hopes that this is his last job in the NFL, and that's very important. We don't normally get a coach who this is the final destination for. Aaron Glenn wants this to be his final destination, so I like that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
If only the team would make sense there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Do you want Aaron Rodgers back? Yeah, I know. That's an answer. It was such a good answer, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
No question. We'll get you out of here on this note. The Bear went to the University of Miami. He is a big Canes fan, big Canes supporter. Are the Canes back?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
So you researched this? No. No. He just saw the sign. I just fell into the sign.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Carson Beck, your thoughts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Oh, yes, yes. Our next point. I can't wait. The 20 biggest myths about college football. And then we have a second point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
It's like in the movie Elf when he walks in. Wow, world's best cup of coffee. Congratulations.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I have Stanzik writing it already. Don't worry about it. We're good, okay?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Bear, we love you. Thank you. I'm going to see you Wednesday at 515 for dinner. By the way, we're going to Denny's.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I will have just finished up lunch, but I'll try to make it light. And we look forward to having you on later in the week. I want to know. This is what I want to know. If we have you on again towards the end of the week, if anything you said here today has changed. By the time we get to Friday, let's say, okay? I hope not, but it might. We'll see. We'll find out together. All right, Bear.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Good luck to you on the pregame show. I'll see you in New Orleans. And I look forward very much to seeing you, buddy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!

Then you get in there, it tastes nothing like New York pizza. Oh, I fell right into the trap. Right into the trap.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
All right, so I do a thing called Weekend Observations. Demario Davis with us here. It's Super Bowl week. It's Radio Row. We will get to what he's doing on behalf of Ashley here. in just a second, but I was watching a game and Tom Brady, I do a thing called weekend observations where I just write down a bunch of sports observations in my notes. We try to make them funny and entertaining.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And here's what I wrote down. This was Tom Brady. Okay. No one wraps up a ball carrier like the Mario Davis. That's my job, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Oh, yeah. They served him fish that they imported from, like, California.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
But do you agree there is no one that wraps up a ball carrier like DeMario did?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
When did you know you were going to make it to the pros?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
You spoke it into existence.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Wow. I cannot believe you said you set out. So you said at an early age, I'm going to be an NFL football player. And then you would not stop until you achieve that goal. That's incredible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
That's pretty incredible. Are you having fun here in New Orleans?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I'll gain too much weight if I stay here too long, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I commend them for the false advertising, I have to be honest with you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Yeah, it suckered me and got my 25 bucks. It's the best. It's the Golic tried and true method here. If you're wandering a city near you, we can assure you, after a lot of careful experimentation, you'll have a good time. I don't know if it's authentic, but you'll have a good time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Right. Yeah, you're right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Well, it was great the last time they played, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Well, they have the thing that can keep Patrick Mahomes off the field, and that's Saquon in a running game, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Because you knew he was going to do it. It's just a matter of watching it play out, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Now, what I will tell you is – I think people would be okay with Andy Reid on the field, by the way, as opposed to Patrick Moe. That's his machine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And I like that because you're saying for the first time Mahomes won't get it done. You're saying –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Do you want me to ask you again at the end and you say Mahomes is going to get it done? But that way you have all sides covered.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Okay. Which defense do you trust the most, though? Because defensive linemen, after quarterback, the D linemen are the best players on the field in the Super Bowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Yeah, and spags on the other.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Can you explain that? Because you're marveling at something. I don't think we talk about this all the time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
We have no idea what we're watching. Yeah. So can you explain why that was so, like even to someone like you who's played the game your entire life, why was that so surprising to you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I'm surprised that you think – I'm not saying it's a bad city. I'm delving into this, right? But I feel like warm weather – now, we're getting good weather this week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
So they saved it for that time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I know. So you're telling me Josh Allen had no idea that was coming.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Tell us what – that's incredible. Thank you for breaking that down. Because, you know, as fans, we watch football, right? We're just watching the quarterbacks. We don't know what's going on inside the trenches, you know?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Film doesn't lie, right? Film tells you everything you need to know. Tell us what you're doing on behalf of Ashley. You're doing great things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
But I think Glendale, for me, was probably as good as it gets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
You're a good man, I got to tell you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Well, you're a well-dressed man trying to do his part.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Okay. And we did get into several cars.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
It's great to see the pride you have when you're telling those stories. Yeah, I mean,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
You surprised the nurse, right? New Year's Eve.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
This is one of the coolest things I've ever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
But it's one of the great things I've heard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
It's your Super Bowl week, man. Enjoy the highlight. You're hosting. You're the host.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Everyone asking you, hey, where am I going to dinner? Where do I go? I need tickets. They're coming to you, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Not for the teams involved. Not for the Super Bowl. It's all about you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
All right. Doing great work with Ashley. Also, check out his foundation, Devoted Dreamers. He's also the best-dressed man here on Radio Row. Tell your wife she did a phenomenal job.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
All right. Appreciate you, man. Thank you, DeVar. Yes, sir. Okay, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
It's dad and Stephen A. Smith. Like Stephen A. Smith wanting to move the all-star game or game who the finals teams are because he wants a good – they got to handle two sites for that. That's a dangerous game. Super Bowl, we get one and everyone's got to bid for it. Like everyone's groveling to the NFL for the chance to do this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
You cannot give yourself a curfew Super Bowl week when you're 35, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Yeah, it's a great city. It really is. It's a great big event city. It is. It's a walking city.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
So I'm glad you brought up the combine because I tell Levitard all the time that if you just walk into St. Elmo's during combine week, you'll hear everything you need to hear.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Right. That's past your curfew, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
That's how you're supposed to do it, right? The places you shouldn't be in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
So Vegas, for me, that was a nightmare, like in terms of a Super Bowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
The NBA, they actually have to leave it up to the teams that decide to be the best. Sucker business.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And not only that, it was like to get... Once you got to the media center, like to the front doors, you're still outside. You were just starting your trip. It took like 30 minutes from that point just to get into the media. It took me two seconds today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I know. It's pretty awesome. Tell us about the Football 301 on Yahoo Sports.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
It's crazy. How do you guys feel about the game? Like so many people are saying, hey – Not a fan of this game. Don't want the matchup. Had the matchup two years ago, even though it was one of the greatest Super Bowls we've ever seen. People seem to not want it again, and that's surprising to me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
So I think it's interesting because Dan and I say every week, and I just had this experience with DeMario Davis, who explained to me why that corner blitz that Spaggs put on Josh Allen. He, like, actually took me through it as to why it was so special and how we actually set it up. Because Dan and I have been talking about this for years. We don't know what we're watching on Sundays. That's a lot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
He is maybe – and I've had this discussion with him. He and I have become friends. But I've told him, like, I know he wants to maybe be a head coach again. Why leave this quarterback? Why leave this coach? Why leave this situation? There's nothing wrong with being the greatest coordinator that's ever lived.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Different team, different game plan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
So you're saying Andy and Bill are the coaches who are the best at getting their teams prepared week to week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Like is Sirianni doing it? I think Sirianni gets a raw deal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
They've been to two Super Bowls, four years, playoffs, four consecutive years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
That's not an easy thing. With the ego involved in this sport, think about that. He stripped himself of play calling responsibility.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Oh, I mean, listen, Philly should be embracing him. He is Philly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Philly should want him to coach that team forever, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Listen, I said this to Levitard. He got mad at me. But I said, if Sirianni wins this Super Bowl, he is the greatest Eagles coach in Eagles history.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
It's not the worst thing. Larry Coker had the greatest start, I think, in college football history as a coach.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
How about Fangs in terms of getting his team ready? Because this is such it's such a fascinating Super Bowl where you have Mahomes, you have Jalen Hurts, you have all this offensive talent, right? but the defenses are strong, the coordinators are great. It could be a low-scoring game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Set the narrative. Gojo, what are you smiling about?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And he fell right into it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Listen, it was a great game two years ago, but now you have Saquon. And to Sirianni's credit and Howie Roseman's credit, to be able to get Saquon from the Giants, which is ludicrous and absurd. But you now have the guy, if he doesn't break one for 80, you can have those 11-play, 10-minute drives. The most important thing about him, we've kept Mahomes off the field.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
No, but I told Mikey A last week, okay? Forget about this. Last week, I said, I'm going to set the tone. Everyone's going to take Philadelphia because they have Saquon Barkley, and that keeps Patrick Mahomes off the field. You'll walk right into it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Right. X's and O's are important, man, just so you know. They are. It's on our car over there. Like, I know you want to try to drag out your personality and all that. No, we need X's and O's, okay? Let me be the jackass. You give us X's and O's, okay?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
No, I love the X's and O's, though. I really do because, again, we don't know what we're watching.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I love it. It seems, maybe I'm wrong here, it seems like you think the Eagles have a pretty good shot here. I'm leaning Chiefs. Are you? Yeah. You're not going to be surprised if the Eagles win.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I know top to bottom the Eagles are the better team, but I'm not betting against this guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Yes, he set the narrative, and now you're in Stugatz's narrative. You're part of the Stugatz coaching tree at Radio Row. I did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I don't have a Land Cruiser here. I mean, oh, it's right here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Which part of football did you love the most? Was it the ball boy? Was it playing? Was it the coaching? Or is it this?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I mean, ball boy is such a great time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Yeah, Chris Carter just like unhinged, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
There's a lot more Chris Carters than Randy Mosses. And I say that respectfully again. Two shots. He's done nothing to me, Chris Carter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
It's very easy to not pick Philadelphia. I made a promise. Total opposite of Dad. After the AFC Championship game and after the Championship round, I made a solemn vow to myself. I locked it in a time capsule, and I opened it this week, and it said,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Oh, really? Yeah, they hate it. Wait, what do you mean?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
You were throwing balls back into the game, onto the field of play, two referees. They needed a ball. Yes. And you're telling me you could not throw it overhand.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Who was the ref? I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Was there a ref you didn't like, and even though you knew he wanted you to toss it underhand, did you just beam them right in the face or something like that? Well, actually, speaking of Hockley.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Oh, my god. That is so good. Football 301, Yahoo Sports. They're right next to us here on the Toyota Land Cruiser set. Nate, we appreciate this, man. I got you out of here before your curfew. Well, yeah. Appreciate it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
don't pick against the chiefs there's going to be a million shiny objects out there they're going to tell you oh man the eagles they got so much talent on this roster look what howie roseman did this offseason it's so great don't do it right don't do it yeah i have to keep doing it i do eventually i'm going to be right i mean they're going to lose at some point the coin will land on tails at some point maybe uh go joe i was asking your dad last week uh because i think jason kelsey's in a uh
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
is it a weird predicament, right? Oh, yeah. Where he's saying that he's rooting for the Eagles, but I don't think he's really rooting for the Eagles. And you should root for your brother, right? He's retired. And so I was asking your dad, had Mike played at... If Notre Dame had played, was it Alabama? Yeah. Oh, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
If you went to Alabama and they played Notre Dame in the National Championship, would he root for you or would he root for Notre Dame? And he said he would root for you. Oh, absolutely. So, A, do you believe that he'd be rooting for you over his school? And B... Should Jason Kelsey be rooting for his brother over his former team?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
He said he is rooting for Travis to do well. Yes. And you could have rooted for me to do well and still been fine if Notre Dame won. No, I wouldn't want a jersey to win. What if it had been one of your brothers? What if it had been Bob? You guys played in the NFL at the same time. Because kids are different.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I fully think if this is one of Jason Kelsey's kids and it's in the same spot, totally different. But if it's one of your brothers, and let's say you already spent most of your career in Philly, whole career in Philly, but Bob's playing in a Super Bowl with somebody else against the Eagles.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And Mike is right. Why is Jason feel the need to come out and root for the Eagles? He doesn't want the Eagles to win. The Eagles winning makes him look bad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I do think he is like almost a mascot of that city, though. He was there for so long and was a part of so much winning for them. That's pretty tough to all of a sudden extract yourself from. I do think deep down where he plays, he doesn't talk about at parties, though. Those guys cry so much talking about each other and have such a loving relationship. There's no way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Yeah, yeah. Mike, are these Super Bowls still tough for you to come to? Like, because you told me one time, like, they're difficult because you never, you wanted to, the first time you wanted to come to a Super Bowl was because you were playing. Right, right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Yeah. I mean, if I can't get over that. Right. Wow. Who do you think is going to win, Mike? I think Philly is going to win. Who do you think is going to win, Cole?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I think Kansas City wins. Really? And you're taking the Chiefs. I'm taking the Chiefs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I like your chances. All of us. The Bears next.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Mikey, remind me because it is very important to say the thing that everyone's going to say, but say it first.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And this will be the talk at Radio Row. I would say midweek, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, once they hear it from me and it starts spreading around Radio Row. So I want to be a trendsetter. I want to be the guy. Very important at Radio Row that you set the pace, okay? That you come out first.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And what I am telling you is what everyone's going to say, and they'll be ripping me off, is this Eagle team is better built to beat this Chiefs team than the last Eagles team was to beat that Chiefs team. because of Saquon Barkley, because of their ability to keep Patrick Mahomes off the field, and that will be their strategy. I said it first. They will run the ball.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
They will run it a lot in an effort, not only because it's a strength of theirs, but also to keep Patrick Mahomes off the field. That's it. And they had to upgrade at center and everything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Okay. Oh, wow. This is the first retort of the week. This is amazing. Go ahead.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Yes. Spags. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I get it. Spags. I get it. But I'm just saying, like, people are going to say, they're not going to really make a prediction. They're going to say, hey, if the Eagles win, it's because of that offensive line, because of Saquon, and their ability to do an 11-play drive, three yards at a time, for 12 minutes, that keeps Patrick Mahomes off the field. That's it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
You know who stopped Tom Brady? Who? Spags. Yeah. Well, you know who stopped Patrick Mahomes?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
He did? When? But Tom Brady won. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I'm not sure. It's a great question. I want to say no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Spags. Spags. No, that's not a rebuttal. Spags. How dare you, sir?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Because he keeps... What Mikey is saying is they can try to run the football they want. Spags will have something ready for them that will prevent them from running the football and Mahomes will be on the field the entire game is what he's saying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
He's going to beg Jalen Hurts to beat him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
There's no way Jason Kelsey is rooting for the Eagles to win this game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I'm tired of it. I'm tired of the conversation. I'm ending the conversation by saying Jason Kelsey is not, not rooting for the Eagles to win the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Yeah, I do too. Listen, do you think the bear the first year he left college game day? Chris Felica, who's going to join us here in a couple of minutes. Do you think the bear was rooting for Stanford Steve the first year he was away from college game day? Stanford Steve was dreadful that first year. And I'm telling you, Felica may have acted like he was a concerned friend. Hang in there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
It's going to get better. He was cackling. He was delighted. And then Stanford Steed had one for the ages this year. And I'll tell you, the bear wasn't happy about it. I don't care what he says. No one in the history of anything wants things to get better after they leave.

Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Greg, termites would be a great name for a team, right? Toronto termites? Yes. I love that. It has to be a tea city.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
I mean, a cardinal?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Stanford tree. Sort of goofy looking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Well, it is. I mean, you've got to get it out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
I can answer that. You could say for 40 years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
So do I. Yeah, so do I. Just because he wants to be there. I mean, that's a good starting point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
It's a good list. It is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
He missed the glory days.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Glory holes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
The Glory Hole. The Hole.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
It feels like a slight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Mina, let me try it this way, because Greg and I were having this discussion about Jalen Hurts. In a weird world, if the Eagles could decide to play in the Super Bowl and they had to choose one of these guys to sit, Jalen Hurts or Saquon Barkley, which guy would they choose?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
I would want to play the Super Bowl with Jalen Hurts, yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Will Shipley had four carries for 77 yards. Anyone could run behind that line. Sorry, Saquon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Can I get the choices again? I got to write this down.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Mina just saw a photo of Dalton Kincaid with a Bills logo on his head. It's got to be Dallas. All right, Mina.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
All right. Excellent work. She does that thing where she lies about telling you she's seen a movie just because she wants to be part of the conversation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)

That was good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Yes. It is, but he changed his name to Bud to make it a perfect football name.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Too many AFLs. It's 11-20. It's true.

It wasn't a great ending with Shaq. I know this. I'm not saying that Shaq was worse than this. Shaq won a title, though. Right, but it was bad at the end.

Local Hour: Greg Cote's Jimmy Butler Take
Not a second. Not a second. What about other GMs? What about other GMs? What GM out there is like, you know who I really want on my team? You know what's going to bring us all together? A GM who needs him. Well, the Heat were stupid for bringing him in because he's done this everywhere he's been.

Just sitting right next to Brian Schottenheimer. Look, if you think I can't get out of my comfort zone, look at this idiot I just hired. No coaching experience. Brian is just like awkwardly like, okay, thank you. Thanks, coach.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

All right. No clapping. And Brian Schottenheimer feels the awkwardness and is like, I'll clap for you, Stephen. He has no choice.

And by the way, I circled back because people after that were like, when's the date? Yeah, when is the date? And I went back to the sources. They don't know yet. Well, no, someone has to know.

No, we need the video team to pull it up so you can see. Okay, but that would have been good to have. It's an A1 DAP. But, Dan, she covers the league. Have you seen Tony?

The Big Suey: Elle Yes or Elle No
No, fall on my face because something that everybody's seen on social media, the six people here haven't seen it. Okay, sorry. That's all right. So then why did everybody look at me so stupefied? Oh my God, I don't know what you're talking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Elle Yes or Elle No
But I figured if you've seen it, you're online. If you've seen it, you're online. If everybody's seen it who's online, I figure the guest who covers the sport, who's also online and sees things about the sport, has seen it before.

person that's online a lot like i don't cover this point i remember whether you know the dap video or not doesn't mean like you you're good at covering the sports just like you maybe it wasn't memorable to her exactly not what i said my point is you implied that's what are you talking you were like she covers the sport yeah because she covers sports she knows what it is that's all i'm saying

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Absolutely. It's very common knowledge. You see it come across your timeline, whether it be on Instagram, on Reels, on TikTok, on whatever. It's Kim Mulkey having an incredible no-look dap with a dude as she's walking into the tunnel waiting to go to a game. And it's an incredible dap by anybody's measure. There's a lot of people in this office that don't give good daps.

The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
I mean, Dan, he's just an embarrassment. Like, he really is. It's just, like, if you watch the interview last night that he did with Al Troutwig, I believe. He was a fossil, by the way. Anyway, if you... Why did you take out Al Troutwig? I mean, Troutwig, please. Seriously. A polished Al Troutwig. I got issues with Al Troutwig that go way, way back. Way back. Way back. What? Go on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
I just don't like the guy, man. I like him. Never been a fan of his.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
You have issues. You said you had issues. Not personal issues. I've never been a fan of Al Troutwick. For some reason, growing up, New York media, I had a list of the guys that I least liked in the New York media, and he was always at the top of the list. Al Troutwick. Put that on for next year's lie detector question. But Phil Jackson's a complete embarrassment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia

And John Amici is so smart. The idea of him trying to guess what language it is I'm speaking and what words are coming out of my mouth is funny.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Block M
What I always loved about that segment is Mike would give him an easy one, like a fastball right down the middle, just so he can gain some confidence and think this is the time I'm going to win the game. Meech has never won the game on Did he win once? He claims he won once.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Block M
But Mike would groove the first one or two in, and then the next three, chain jumps, curveballs, everything. Impossible. And me just swinging and falling to the ground. He can't win. He can't win that game. I'm undefeated. He always wins.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Block M
I mean, after 20 minutes of super serious conversation with Dan, you need something.

It's safe to assume a 50-year anniversary is going to be really self-indulgent. And it was. I haven't seen. I've heard great things about the docuseries. They're awesome. That's on Peacock. I saw the 50th anniversary concert, which I thought was awesome. David Byrne, though, you're not in Robin's range. I know why you're there, but let's stop doing that, please.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I love David Byrne. Love talking heads. Just not in that range. Was he wearing a big suit?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
Yeah. But the show itself was really disappointing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
it was it was it was really it was really unfunny it was just terribly unfunny you have eddie murphy acting in skits it was also just i know it's live programming but they miss shots they miss punch lines it was that's what snl is though that's the whole thing like the hanks thing was just like like they're not really even clever they showed tom hanks before like the reveal of him they like showed him live television is a three-hour show dangerous
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
I like the New York musical number that was cool that was ambitious but I was disappointed by the special and then I realized okay this is just for them the people in the audience which is like it's pretty telling the audience is just the celebrities so it was a show just for them

I feel like I could get a glass of orange juice. Give me like three oranges.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Well, that's what he's saying. Well, the way I've seen it done is you have a contraption where you're squeezing it down on something. If we don't have that here, I can... There's hand juicers. He was doing it physically. I was stretching to do it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
I'll feed us all orange juice with eight oranges. No, no. At least three glasses.

So you decided that that would be the way to lead this segment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
It used to be. It's not, really. He's been wearing the same three shirts, and I've told him he should wear no other shirts because they look much better than the ones from the Rumpled collection.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
The Pressbox collection of dusty, dirty, 30-year-old shirts.

Out of material, are you? Okay, good. I've noticed when that happens. Juju, what else do you have?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
He's not trying to connect? Whoa! Hey-o! I don't think, Juju, that you should be wasting God's time with those particular prayers. Is that offensive?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
He really would. I actually did something. I did it at the airport the other day. A guy comes running in and he makes the elevator with his bags and stuff. And he's like, I made it. Thank God. And I'm like. just wasting his time to thank him for that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
I like that idea, Billy, to just make it bold takes and prayers. And prayers, yeah, that you feel like are going to be unanswered.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
Juju, you were saying, I'm sorry we interrupted you before Greg ran out of material.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
But it's not. It is not your prayer. It is nice that you are wishing compassion for everyone who feels bad on things. That's a nice thing. It is kindness. We should all be extending. I'm sorry for mocking the idea of it because I just don't think you know what? I've got to take it back. The Charlotte Hornets do need all of your prayers. All of the world's prayers.

It wasn't even the flight, though. He just made an elevator to get to the second floor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
Yeah, New York on the street. I've seen it. It's a shadowy figure. For me to think it's closer to a horse than a rat when it's in the distance speaks to both my eyesight and New York streets at 4 in the morning.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
But pool is, and I understand the difference that people are making, but I would think that chlorine would be something that would be a greater disinfectant to urine than salt water. Thank you.

Hour 2: The Child Vampire
I was probably like, that kind of thing. Something. Okay, no. The home run call was that kind of swing, that kind of thing. Stugatz. Oh. That's a good call. Thank you. And plus, it doesn't matter who's hitting it. Like, you're not tailoring it to a particular name. You know, all that jazz. You know, you don't got to do that. You just do a generic call. Oh, that would be a great call.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
First, a very quick detail. The trophies are about the same height. The Lombardi trophy is 22 inches tall. The Dez Dynamics cup is 23 inches tall. But I outweigh Lombardi two to one physically. 7 pounds for the Lombardi Trophy, 13.6 pounds for the Dynamics Cup. Our episode, we have Izzy on, Izzy Gutierrez. We talk a lot about the heat and the trades.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
We talk about the Super Bowl, halftime show, commercials, all that stuff. We talk about a child vampire who bit my granddaughter. So there's a lot going on. It was a kid who said he was a vampire.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
Yeah, the Patino test? Yeah. Yeah, and she passed, thank God.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
Yeah. But the child said, I'm a vampire, and then bites her on the shoulder. I'm assuming he's a vampire.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
Like, seven-year-olds don't even know to lie yet. You know, they always tell the truth. Oh, they do. Do they? Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
Exactly right. When you're seven, you're proud to be a vampire. Exactly right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
So the vampire, the child vampire who bit my granddaughter, theoretically, while pretending to be and looking like a seven-year-old vampire, could have been six or seven hundred years old. Precisely.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
Right. And imagine being that old and having the persona of a seven-year-old. That's got to mess with you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
The vampire was suspended from school. Good. For how long?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
I don't know. That's a good question. Suspended for the rest of his life. The vampires have names. We never get the name of the culprit. They don't give out kids' names when they have the chance.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
No, he's the staple of the Greg Cody Show podcast. That's not true. Nah, you know, might as well be. But when I was a kid, I'm being serious here, Gary's and Greg's were bitter rivals. Right. Like if you were named Greg, you felt superior to Gary's. But the opposite was true. It was like, I don't know that there's any two names now that are rivals. Wow. But Gary and Greg.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
You know, I'm physically stronger than a vampire. I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
Careful. Okay. Virtually all of the cooking I do includes garlic. I'm a big garlic fan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
I have garlic all over my house. Strings of garlic. You are stronger.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
If you recoil at the sight of garlic because you're a vampire, of course you're going to pretend like, bring it on. I love garlic. I love a crucifix. You know, I mean, that's a defense mechanism. The old bait and switch. I dare you to do it, right? Yeah, exactly. So, you know, the string of garlic's here. Come at me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
Steak through the heart is always... It's a classic. It's perfect.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
no really no garlic means too much to me right yeah speaking of hammers uh greg cody shocked me the other day by having very strong opinions on the hammer throw well okay at a track meet in colorado some poor spectator was hit by and killed by an errant hammer throw jeez so i'm doing a little research first of all The hammer throw doesn't even include a hammer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
A hammer throw is a shot put attached to a heavy wire and then flung around. So it's a misnomer, first of all.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
So why are we throwing hammers in 2025? It's like shot puts, too. It's like a medieval sport. You're right. It's like shooting someone from a cannon. Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
I think a track event should be throwing a stick of dynamite. I mean, that makes as much sense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
Yeah, and it would have to be a heavy chain link.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
It'd have to be like what they have at NASCAR races. Like a fence, yes. Whereas the tire is flying through the air, and you need something to stop that. But Mike, you're obviously the vampire expert among us. Is it true that vampires cannot see themselves in a mirror?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
No, it's not a straw man. And the rivalry is partly why we were good friends. Because we were like opposites. Like, he was a big Yankee fan. I was Red Sox. I would have the Yaz trading card against his Mickey Mantle. He was a Gary. I was a Greg. We were yin and yang. You know, but the rivalry, it was real. Mm-hmm. Still is, I think, although name rivalries aren't what they used to be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
And why'd they call it a hammer? I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
The javelin. The javelin, literally a weapon, a javelin. Literally a weapon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
That 100% is a thing. That's 100% accurate. And it's also accurate to say that Greggs felt and feel superior to Craigs. Yeah. A Craig is a Gregg wannabe. To his point, I do hate Chris's with a K. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
It's got to be Greg. Has to be. Yeah, Craig's a misspelling.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
No, I don't think there's any Gregory. Craig's a perversion, honestly. It's not a real name. It is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
Just like if your name is Tom and you spell it with an H. Oh, silent H. Let's not go there. Oh, Thoms?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
In the Pride of a Lion book that McGill and I did, he tells a story in one of the chapters about how he had such a wonderful experience with Jay Leno doing Late Night, but it was the polar extreme with David Letterman. that David Letterman was just not a nice guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
How did that come up? Because I thought the story was about a lion.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
There's a chapter that involves the celebrity that Ron attained through his work with the zoo and through being on this show. Can you tell the Michael Jackson story again? Yeah, the Michael Jackson story, I think, might be in that same chapter. I thought this book was about Quasi. It is, but it's also about Ron McGill.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
It's about Quasi the Lion, but it's also sort of a biography of Ron McGill. Can I? And I found it very interesting because I always loved Letterman. And to hear that he was sort of a, you know, could be an asshole to guess that he didn't know real well was illuminating. I found it interesting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
Your story. Have I ever been on a talk show? I don't think so.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
There's nothing to dig around me. Well, that's what you think. Digging it. A grave. Yeah, I mean, no, I'm not a talk show guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
They're interviewing me, not vice versa.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
Was I on Sports Bang? I don't know. I don't know either.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
That's right. Bring him back. He's not fat. Was that our listeners when I was let go? What was that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
He's not fat. He's not fat. Great chant. It does rhyme. That's right. And there are dozens of people holding up signs. And who's that guy on the right? What's he dressed as? What is he going for?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Are those goggles that he is wearing? Is he dressed like a rooster? I think he's a chicken. He's a chicken. Is it because the Mavs are chickens for trading Luka?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Let's read the signs here. Judas, Benedict, Brutus, Nico. Lines have been crossed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Can we set up, please, the victory lap for Mike Ryan so that he can take it in the other room and celebrate what is one of the most unpopular players in Heat history? And this is as right as Mike Ryan has ever been about anything. Is this the sound? We've been looking for the sound. Is this the sound from his first, the news, you learning the news for the first time?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Freeze that so that I can please read some more of those signs. Fire, Nico. That's an obvious one. That's an easy one to write in your magic marker.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Let's go back to a sweaty Mike Ryan to check in and hear from Mike Ryan on how right he was about Terry Rozier.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Do you guys realize that so much happened over the weekend in sports that we glossed over without even thinking about it? The fact that, and this doesn't happen a lot in the NBA, John Morant's dad got kicked out of a game. got kicked out of a game for complaining about the officiating and doing so, I'm going to say benignly, even though he was claiming that the game was fixed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Like, I guess that's not benign when you've got the father of NBA royalty saying it about your officiating.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Or is this you circling back around with your general hatred for Rozier?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
But that would suggest, though, that they thought or they didn't know what the backlash would be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
And I've got to assume that they would know what the backlash would be, that they would know almost better than us what the backlash would be as people who know who their customers are, as people who know what he means to that region, as people who are more emotionally invested in the result than we are.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
I am told that Genesis right now is working on people in the victory lap room. I think you should go anyway and go ahead and see what you do about a victory lap in there. Get him a microphone, set up that room around Genesis, who's working on people. And in the interim, let's go back in time so that people understand Terry Rozier is an inefficient player.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Stugatz. That joke didn't really land the way you wanted it to, did it? We all just stared at you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Ron McGill joins us now as he has for many weeks, many years now, many weeks regularly, but he's missed some recently. Busy guy. Well, our The audience gets mad when they don't get their fix of Ron McGill.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
I will tell the people, and I can't give you total details right now, but Ron is ready very soon to, for our audience only, un-retire the most popular thing he's done in his zoo career, which is Sex and the Animals, his Sex and the Animals presentation. He's going to do it for our fans.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
shortly we will have more uh news on that front in a while but i want to play some videos here for ron welcome ron thank you for being on with us i want to show you first here a a dog uh that is retaliating here evidently for being hit with a snowball can we play please uh this video for ron mcgill and have him do a little bit of play by play for us
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Okay, I thought that video would be a lot better. I think that over the course of the week, people who are gathering these things, I think what they should put at the top is video that's slightly better than that, that allows us to have Ron McGill do some stuff with the videos that is more entertaining than that. Let's go to a sleeping...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
I want to know what animal this is because this is not an animal I am very familiar with. Does anyone in here know what this animal is? Are you guys familiar with this animal that is being awakened here? Oh, it's a baby capybara. Yes, it looks a bit like a guinea pig. Are you guys familiar with what it is that this is? It's the world's largest rodent, except that's a baby.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
The only time I've seen Terry Rozier be good is in Charlotte, and he wasn't because Charlotte wasn't any good, and he just got a giant— Usage rate, and there are a lot of NBA players who could put up those numbers with that usage rate.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
And when you say the world's largest rodent, how large do they get?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Do you believe there is such a thing as a 50-pound rodent? Yes or no? I feel like I've seen those in New York. What happened? No, I'm not even kidding. You're talking about the people. I'm not even kidding. No, I'm not talking about the people. I'm talking about what I see at 4 a.m. when the rodents know there aren't people in the streets of New York.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
And I'm looking down the street and the shadow seems like a horse of some sort. And it's just a giant rat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
That's right. 4 a.m. in New York. That's the only time they come out. That is, you will not see them at another time. Not the 50-pound ones.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
I think everybody knows. I think everybody knows.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
I think you all know. Evasive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
The most famous vampire there is 12-1 in the Big East. And when they asked him the other day, they asked him the other day, what would you have said to us if we had told you you'd beat 12-1 in the Big East? His answer is, how do we lose the bleepin' one? He's back, baby.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Let's let's look at this bird here. You guys tell me what the hell this is, because this is also something I have not seen. Ron, have you ever seen a frog mouth? A what?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
That's right, because I will say this flatly. Nobody except Jamal Mashburn has ever been good in a Charlotte uniform. Now, you're going to come back with Alonzo Mourning and maybe Anthony Mason, but I'm just going to stick to my gut.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
How rare are they? Have you seen one of those?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Can you tell us how rare, strange this is? There is a shark here, and you're always telling us that sharks aren't as dangerous as they're made out to be by people who fear sharks. But what is happening here with an aquarium water dancer's head and a shark?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Is this a shark?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
And I know LaMelo is good, but he's not good because he plays for them, and they're not good. And that franchise has a history of irrelevancy that is staggering to have near the father of Marcus Jordan. Speaking of which, I'm going to get to this sound from the police because it felt like Stugatz being arrested if he were Michael Jordan's son.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
It's some of the stuff Stugatz would do if he was either coked out or drunk and talking to a police officer trying to get out of an arrest.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Thank you. Thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Okay, I will tell you that later in the show. Remind me. Is this attached to the racism? Remind me about that, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Remind me because they're tied together in a way that is interesting. Yes, in a way that you would not think so. Yes, but I don't want to spoil any of the information that I'm going to give you later in the show. But I am promising that before the end of the show today, I will tell you the story of me being racist in New Orleans. Can you play the sound, please? And the socks. And that as well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Can you play the sound of Marcus Jordan? And I don't know. Like, I think it's probably reckless to suggest that anyone has a cocaine problem. But if I were looking for identifying marks being caught doing cocaine in public by a pool, there's video evidence of that. I don't know how hard it is to be Michael Jordan's son. I imagine in some ways it's easy. In some ways it is very hard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
It's super unusual to be in a position where you end up dating your father's ex-teammate's ex-wife, which is what he was famously doing with Larsa. they have broken up she's not in this video but this is Marcus Jordan doing I think what Stugatz would do if he was arrested with cocaine and was Michael Jordan's son
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
I think at some point in there, he also said that the car was worth $300,000, right? I think that we cut that out. Somebody told me that. I had not heard the sound myself. So somebody check on that to make sure that I don't have that wrong, because that's not something I've confirmed. I'm just speaking here live and unedited, and I haven't checked that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
That's not really proof because I can have that in my wallet. No, no, no. It wouldn't be proof that my father Michael Jordan. No, you can't just have a picture of Michael. A family photo? No, I don't have that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
A jovial photo, right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Perhaps caroling.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Let me ask a couple of questions here. Are you of the opinion, are you of the belief that most people are still using wallets? Because I will tell you, every time I pull out my wallet, they make fun of me here for having a wallet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Put it on the poll, please, at Levitard Show. Do you own a wallet at Levitard Show? When he talks about a bad back, Chris, do you realize, I don't know when else your father is doing this, but your father today, in... the other room, made the old man sound that I believe is unique to old men getting up from and sitting down on the couch. It's the same sound I imagine he makes at a urinal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
I imagine when everything... When everything releases, it is just an old man sound, and I think it's the exclusive domain of people over 50 with a bad back who sit on their wallets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Ron McGill is supposed to be here shortly. We've got some funny video and audio, Mavs related, to play for you. But it doesn't happen very often where we go to break and Stu Gatz is mother bleeping himself because of a missed opportunity. So I will say it again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Put it on the poll. Are you in such bad shape? That it's a sense of accomplishment when you sit down or get up from something.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
A lot of people were making fun, Stugant, of the Wired for Sound of LeBron last night with Luka telling him, stop trying to fit in, fit out. Fit out. Well, and Kevin Love, or the guy who memes for Kevin Love, because Pablo Torre alleges that Kevin Love has a guy, had a funny meme of someone punching the air frustrated because he once told Kevin Love to fit in. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
And Kevin Love was just dying to hear fit out. I just think that LeBron doesn't have to tell Luka to fit in or fit out. Just be fit is all it is that he that he needs Luka to do. But I'm told that Mike Ryan is now in the other room before we go to Mike Ryan to take his victory lap. Can you just play the sound, Chris, the Terry Rozier sound as soon as this happened or right before it happened?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Mike Ryan's been telling you for a really long time he did not want Terry Rozier on this team. And this is before Terry Rozier was acquired. Mike Ryan threatened the Miami Heat organization.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Walter Payton played the entirety of his career wearing no socks, barefooted inside of the cleats because he liked how it felt to run that way. Feetness. It's right there for me. It was. It was right there for you. Let's get to that Mav sound and let's get to Mike Ryan getting to take a victory lap on Terry Rozier.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
You're Homer. And Mike, it is your turn now to do this victory lap. Genesis is very hard at work. Who is she working on right now?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Okay, thank you, but keep doing that because I'd like to go back to you to more analysis when you're more winded because I think this is funnier if... Yes, I do love that. Go back in 30 seconds. You're so obsessive. Yeah, well, that's the joke. Otherwise, it's less funny.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
As an audio experience, executive producer of this show, as an audio experience, a winded cast member trying to give points that are less good than they would normally be because it's hard to give takes when you're tired.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Fatigue makes cowards of us all. And I will say that as soon as it becomes funny, I'll tell you. I'll let you know. But no one's done it right since we started it. Like, it's not that hard. You have to be tired and winded in order for it to work.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
That's correct. That is absolutely right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
It's not the system. It's the players. That's right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
That's correct. It's not my system. I didn't create the system. Let's go back out to Mike Ryan to hear how much more he hates Terry Rozier. You know, I'm going to take a victory lap on never liking this bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
I'm so tired. All right. Let's get to this math sound. Yes, better. Thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Stay there, though, and keep running, and I'll come back to you in a second. In the interim, let's get to this Mavs sound here. First, let's get to the chanting involved, because this is not a chant I have heard very often where there are death threats, where it is that you've got a home security detail that is now required to God's.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
because of everything that's happening in Dallas where the curse of Luka has officially taken over because now multiple players are getting hurt. They've lost almost their entire front line except for Lively. Anthony Davis comes out, gives you a first half of 30 points, nine for 13, and immediately gets hurt and ends up being out for a week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
So let's play the sound that we have of the Mavs fans who are protesting. They are chanting a chant that I am not used to hearing near death threats. Let's hear that. Bring him back.

Look at that. The final card. Damn. With the old Riley. Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Not news breakers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
That's insane. He's not going to be good with you next year. I know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Russell Wilson. I like Russ. Straight up trade. Justin Fields. Pittsburgh makes sense for Aaron Rodgers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Sam would never come back. What a story that would be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
And Flacco reunion. Maybe third stop's a charm for Mac Jones.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
How about the Pastronaut? He's available.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Josh Dobbs. Yeah, he's out there if you want him. Trey Lance. I mean, there's options to God. No good options.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
All bad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Ooh, Tommy DeVito's a free agent, Stugatz. And you're friends with his agent. I mean, this could be perfect. Yeah. Make it happen. What'd you promise him?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
I think my favorite behind-the-scenes text that was sent during Radio Row week was Stu Gotts sending Stilato a text about two hours after we had him on saying, hey, I found socks for you if you still need them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
That's what it's all about, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
He goes, oh, rookie move. I forgot to put on socks. We're like, How do you forget to put on socks with Jordans? How did you leave your house today?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
It was sneakers. I forgot to put on socks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
What kind of shoes are you wearing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
But when you have your Jordans on, what do you do?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
God rest his feet indeed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Sometimes it's just surprising. I want to know how that turned out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
All right, attempted to successfully... We talked to Bloody Mary for two hours. Well, you did. I wasn't there. That's true.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Well, you know, I opened up the thing, American cities above sea level, and there's mixed reporting on New Orleans. This site says that they're six feet below sea level here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
I don't think they're above sea. I think they're just above ground.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Well, there is beneath ground. It's just below sea level. You can dig. It's not impossible to dig.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
You used to be able to dig deeper. Not very deep. At your show, I met a man who sent me a shovel in the mail. Because one time we were talking about... And he came up to me and he goes, I don't know if you ever got this, but years ago, I mailed you a shovel. And I said... Sir, I did get that shovel. And for three years, I've been wondering who sent me said shovel. And I'm glad I met you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
And it was his birthday. It was his birthday. And his wife said to me, you know what? I've been trying to get him to retire, but he's never going to retire because he keeps doing things like mailing people shovels.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Yeah, he figured out how. Oh, man, what a shovel it is, too, Greg.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
No, but it has the pointed head on the shovel. It's not one of those shovels that you just move dirt around with the flathead. Flathead shovels get out of here. Who needs those?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
There's a lot of, or actually there aren't a lot of U.S. cities that are below sea level. Most of them in California, Dan, if you knew that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Yeah, that's what some are saying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Welcome to the Big Sui, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
This team's missing killer mentality.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Exactly right. Just fawning over the X. The music.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
I'm happy that Billy and Greg can work here, just shaving up that prime rim of comedy for what it is that we should name the clothes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
I always felt bad that there was a pitcher named Bob Walk. I thought that was unfortunate for him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Pittsburgh Pirates. It's a terrible name for him to have. Bob Walk, I only remember him because that's a terrible name for him to have.

Ich weiß es nicht. Ich weiß nicht, was ein Motorola Razor ist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Wirklich? Lass uns durch deine Telefongeschichte gehen. Welche Telefone hattest du? Ich hatte nie einen Motorola Razor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Ich hatte keinen Motorola Razor.

What is a telegraph machine?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
You think that was my phone. You think that my first phone was the Titanic's emergency signal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
So listen to this, okay? So Ron McGill's on with us now and I want to play some animal video for him, but I am told this was a high degree of difficulty here. We put his son on some pressure and this is unfair. It's not edited or anything. I would want someone to look at this. I would want somebody to apply our comedic sensibilities.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
I would want somebody, before it gets into our hands and we air it, Ich habe einen Top 4, ja. Das ist ein neuer Top 4. Der Top 4 heißt, oh Mann, du hast unser Bacon gerettet. Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Ron McGill joins us now and I've been talking about this for years and Ron has answered this question. But now we have video to show Ron and it's a humpback whale. I'm not going to say swallowing a kayaker because that's not exactly the right word if it were swallowed. But this I fear this all the time. This is just a mistake. You laugh Ron. This doesn't seem funny.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
This is this is why I fear that right there is why I fear the deep sea because it's not a home field advantage for me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Weißt du, ob es in dieser Situation jemals einen Tod gab?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Ich habe auch Angst vor dem Tod. Wenn ein Hecht auf dem falschen Ort bricht und auf dich landet, ist das nicht lebendig, richtig?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Ich weiß nicht, ob ihr das vorgesehen habt, aber mit dem Hecht anschauen, habe ich mich immer gefragt, ist das nicht etwas gefährlich? Wie, wenn der Hecht brechen und entscheidet, das Boot zu schießen, nicht, dass du es möchtest. Ja, aber wenn sie oft brechen, sind diese Dinge nicht etwas unbedeutend?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
We are waiting for this Sean McGill video. Ron, how do you feel about all of this? This is kind of a bad spot I'm putting you in by making you judge.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Schreibt es bitte auf die Post. Würde Willow Jessica essen, wenn Jessica neben ihr gestorben wäre? Was für ein Hund ist Willow?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Wir werden es haben, Gott sei Dank. Gott sei Dank, Fußball. Ron, ich möchte dich nur einen Moment stoppen. Kamera, bitte zähl einfach hier auf Greg Codys Gesicht, bitte. Geh real close auf Greg Codys Gesicht, okay?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Greg, nein, es gibt einen Grund, warum ich das mache. Du siehst tan, Greg. Danke. Du siehst tan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
He looks more embalmed than tan, I would say. But I just, I want a close-up on Greg Cody's face for this reason, okay? I want you to simply make the natural face that I just saw you make when Ron McGill referred to what I did last night at that hockey game as a momentous occasion, historic in a sense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
I legitimately asked them to introduce me as... Tan-Fan Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Did you get to keep the jersey? I did. Wow. I asked them to introduce me as and former journalist. And alleged journalist. Either one of those. They would not. They did not. Momentous, historic in a sense, says Ron.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
The honor was that my parents were born in another country. That's what the honor was. I didn't do much of anything. No, but you're of repute. No, it's just being Hispanic. Ron, you're next. Next time they need a Hispanic person. After Ron Strahan. Big breaking NBA news.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Please make that the lane for the rest of your career, Jeremy. Please, just mock me and the selling of my soul and song.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
And when he's just making funny things. The pie and the gluten and the dye, that was good. I thought the pie was kind of cheap. I mean, eating pie, I thought it could have gone a little higher. But the gluten and then you die. Because you fart. Well, that's not how that goes, you know, scientifically.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Das ist unmöglich. Das ist unmöglich.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
I want to do this here now with Ron, even though it is awkward, okay? We have not edited it. We have not seen it. But Sean McGill has done the nearly impossible. In the last 24 hours, he has quickly turned something around. We will all watch it together here. And then Ron McGill will give us his honest assessment. This is a pressurized moment for you, Ron. I'm not comfortable with it at all, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
This is terrible what I've done, but I am not a shitster. Let me see what we have here. Greg, please don't do that. We're on the air. Thank you, professional broadcaster.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Vamos, gatos!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Sie haben gefragt, ob ich gehen würde und ich habe gesagt, vielleicht. Und dann wurde ich durch den Journalismus gestorben.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Roy, hast du eine Meinung darauf, wie es heute gehen wird? Das wird interessant werden.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Ich versuche herauszufinden, ob ich das tun kann, ob ich die Nudel aufbauen kann, um etwas zu machen, das lustig ist und lustig ist und die Idee des Oh, he has to go through with it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
I... I do like him a lot more when he's not here. It's true.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
I don't know how much that service tax is for and I don't know how far away from me they're going to be with $37 seats as champions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Let me explain to you how exclusive this place is that we're in. My wife is just told that they only have 30 members that are allowed in this speakeasy. And in order to get in, they give you an actual Das ist ein Kätzchen, der sofort aus einem menschlichen Kätzchen ausgeschnitten wurde. Ein menschlicher Kätzchen? Entschuldigung, ein Live-Kätzchen, nicht ein menschlicher Kätzchen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Das wäre völlig anders. Wir behandeln unsere Kätzchen wie Menschen. Ein Live-Kätzchen, ein Live-Kätzchen. Ich wollte nicht einen menschlichen Kätzchen nennen. Um hier reinzukommen, Wenn da ein bisschen Blut drauf war, mussten wir ein Katzenpaar auf ein Gerät legen und es führte uns in eine Welt von freien Schimpfen und Salmonen. Das ist Lauren, das ist mein Lehrer hier.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Meine Frau, Gott sei Dank, hat gerade gefragt, ob das der Drum ist, den Sie heute nutzen werden. Sie hat mich gerade gefragt, ob das der richtige Drum ist. Ich denke, es ist ein bisschen größer als das. Lass uns gehen, zeig mir, wie du es machst.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
So who's saying let's go Panthers? The crowd. Okay, so they're going to be queued. I don't have to do it with them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Okay, and how many times do I do it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Alright, so I've succeeded if I get them to five. Alright, ready? Ready. Nein, das ist nicht der richtige Weg, das zu tun. Du gibst mir meine Kugel und ich gehe einfach. Ich möchte dich direkt neben mir. No one's ever been as ready for this as I am. She asked me the whole way here, explain the honor to me. All four hours trying to get here. I'm like, well, I'm gonna beat on a drum.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
And as far as honors go, I said to her on the way, it's kinder of an honor, but it's also an obligation. And so she called it, in honor of Chris Cody, an honor-bligation. Das ist sehr schön, was die Panthers für mich gemacht haben. Sie haben meinen Namen draufgelegt. Das versichert, dass ich es nie, nie draußen tragen werde.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Und wer waren die? Das kam nie zu mir.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Und ehrlich gesagt, wenn ich ehrlich bin, möchte ich das niemandem laut sagen, weil sie sehr kindisch gewesen sind. I will never wear this jersey. I am not someone who has ever in my life as an adult worn a jersey like this and don't have a childhood memory that involves wearing a jersey like this. This will never get worn by me. I'm a professional journalist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Roy hat eine offizielle Erkennung, die er hier im Speakeasy der Panthers VIP-Area machen möchte.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Er hat seine Seele verkauft, um für sieben Sekunden auf einem Drummer zu spielen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Es war gut wert. Es war. Es war wert. So cool. I'm mortified by much of that there. So have at it, Greg.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Not really. I don't feel like I've embraced it. It was a soft embrace. I don't feel like I've embraced it. Ron, what is your final assessment? I'm a bad judge on this because it cuts a little close to the bone. I'm embarrassed by much of what is on there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Ron, you're the first person. They were very gentle with me talking about how proud they were, but it's at least in part because they had very low expectations for me, as I did for myself. So I exceeded very low expectations, but I don't think you're wrong. I don't think it was very good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Ja, bitte Ron, weiter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
See you later, Ron. Good talking to you. Bye-bye. Take care, guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
So hold on a second. So wait, so wait, so wait, so wait. Ethan and Fuentes? They went to support?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Wait, no, no. I asked for different support. The support that I wanted there didn't wish to support.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Well, no, it wouldn't have happened. No, you would have made the cut, Billy. Billy, you would have had a smoked old fashion.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Jessica gets to wherever she wants around Wrigley Field because she knows Boog Shambi. No, Billy, you would have gotten in. Billy? Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy. If Ethan, dressed the way he does, walks into that room and is representing me, I burn the whole company to the ground. Just be clear on that. So yes, I do have good people, if that's what they prevented.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Me at a door, coming out and seeing Ethan dressed like that. What up, bro? And coming in and representing me and my company, because he gets to go to the top of the food chain, because Greg Cody can turn down my invitation. Dan, this is special. When he's ten minutes away.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
So when you say picking on him, I understand how you would come by that appraisal. Anyone wearing a jersey two times too big, walking into that room, representing the company, because Billy also would have dressed like a clown. It would have been a Marlins hat and a Dolphins shirt and it would have been also something that would have been inappropriate in there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Both Cody's would have dressed inappropriately too. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Ich bin stolz auf dich, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
That's how I do business around here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Was sagst du? Ich meine, in Bezug auf eine individuelle Leistung in einer Saison, hat niemand jemals besser in Südflorida etwas gemacht. Ricky Williams hat die Liga in Russland in einem Jahr geführt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Ich dachte, du hättest vier Leute gemacht.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
I'm doing a different game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Das Problem, das passiert... Chris Cody, Senior-Jahr.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Honorable Mention, All-County?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Okay, we're not talking about steaks though. You're just talking about one individual performance where someone is doing something that we haven't seen before. You're just in awe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
In Basketball, it can't be anything other than LeBron Game 6 in Boston. That's true. That's not in Miami, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Forgive me for not having any more interest in this. I appreciate all the efforts that you had yesterday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
I need to be very careful how I talk to you here. Is that what Greg said yesterday about the Panthers game? I am done with the heel turn. And I've been told, this has been, as you guys know, Becoming a video company, doing all of that in front of you, trying to figure out video when we're just a bunch of fools doing this stupid thing every day has been challenging in a number of different ways.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
And one of the ways it's been challenging is turning things around quickly, like getting something. I'm still waiting from whatever Amin and Tony made at All Star Game in Cleveland four years ago. Like, I just don't understand where things go. And so... Yesterday I put a lot of pressure on McGill's kid because we support nepotism around here vigorously.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
And McGill's kid came in here and did he annoy everybody? Because you guys said he was talkative. All you said he was talkative. Dude, the guy didn't say a word all day.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Guys, just forgive me. I mean, did anyone mention, you know, winning the World Series Game 7 in extra innings?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
I thought that was moments too, though. You've got the...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Yeah. All of Marino is missing from here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
All of Marino is missing here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Day Journalism Died (feat. Ron Magill)
Yeah, it would. All of these... That's excellent. Yes, everyone agrees with that. Someone with the last name Save. Very simple. Yes, that's excellent work by you. Yes, if the closer comes out of the pen and his name is Bob Save, yes, that'd be a good name for a closer. Excellent work by both of you, working on the high end of the comedy ladder.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
I'd love to take all the credit. My wife was a really good long jumper. Like a better long jumper than I. Did you run track? I was on the team. I'm like Mike. I was there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Yeah, I was... No, no, no. It's not soul and valor. I was around. I wasn't helping. I was like a high jumper. I'm shocked. Jumping like 5'2". You know? Wasn't getting a lot of points there. I did triple jump. I did long jump. And I would have these spurts of athleticism where they would, you know... Was your school like a particularly great sports school?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
So you were good. You're just being humble. I'm not being humble. It's that the expectation is if you didn't know anything about me, what would you say? You'd be like, oh, you were the 100-meter dash guy. I'd say you was crushing it. No, I was on the 4x1 team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
I didn't figure it out until I got to college. So were you an anchor on the 4x1? I was the third leg. Whoa!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Yeah. No, it was. I am stunned. It was bad. It was bad. I mean, I ran the 100 twice in high school. My best, I ran it as a freshman, and I ran a 13.6, which is not great. Okay. As a freshman.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
You're a better teammate than you were earlier. I appreciate that. But in my senior year, I ran 11.33. Okay. Was my, you know, but that's not, like my son is in seventh grade, and he runs a 12.5 in the 100. So what about your jumps? You're a great jumper, right? I was solid. I jumped 20 feet once. Your son had practice yet? Has he what?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Okay, yeah. No, he's had practice in the jumps.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We had practice yesterday. Okay, you were trying to tee me up. I didn't want to talk about it. It's not a good thing. So now I don't feel like you're a good teammate anymore. All right, so I'm pretty sure I ruptured a disc in my back trying to triple jump yesterday at my son's practice. And that's the story we're trying to get to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Because I didn't even get through the triple jump. And for those that don't know, triple jump is three jumps. You can probably figure that out. The first one is kind of a skip. And then you jump to the next. So you jump, land on the same foot, jump to the next foot, and then into the pit. So I jumped. I just didn't warm up. I was like, yo, I did this in high school.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
I was trying to give an example. I jumped, and I was like too far from the board that I jumped from. And I'm like, let me just shut this down right now. Let me just abort.

The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
That's the look at me, Louie situation. Those seventh graders who got me booed. When Miami lost to BYU, we were too fast. I was like, yo, this is the board y'all jump from? So anyway, I tried to shut it down in a board mission, and that's where it all went downhill because that's a lot harder than it looks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
The landing is always the hard part, and I just came down really hard, so much that it shot a pain up my back, and my head kind of did one of these rattle things, and I immediately got a headache, and now I'm pretty sure I need to go to a chiropractor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
So it was a win. Well, I don't ever like, and we talked about this. It's, I know, I hear these stories, right? Everyone knows when you get a certain age, don't do certain things. You will get hurt. Like you got to just pass on it. But the urge. Yeah, it's in there. It never goes away. It's in there. And also it's like the fear is, the thing is never as pronounced as
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
as the stories that people tell. Like I knew I shouldn't have did it. So yesterday I was like, it was like a little piece that was like, don't jump. But it didn't quite feel as dangerous as it does in the moment, the way my back is still.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
It was like, there's like a line, right? Because if it's like, oh, let me dial it back and then I don't make the pit. Well, yeah. And that's like the, so my going hard was not in an effort to show off. It was like, you got to hit a bare minimum to not look like,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
I'm probably closer to what I was as a freshman in high school than I was as a senior. Yeah. In the moment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Those feel safe. Those aren't safe. What?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
I could so easily be talking to something athletic.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Let me show you what's up. Have you forgot what I was in my prime? And that's what also keeps me...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
A photo of a race is crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Yeah. Okay, all right. I thought it was like you went, then he went, and you both timed it. No, no, no. It's not this Charlie. Classic wrong Charlie. Oh, okay. It was a fast Charlie. Fast Charlie.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
So theoretically, we could watch the video. We could make our own determination of who won. But you're saying you will no longer engage in athletic.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
This is how it starts. This is how it starts. This is that type of disrespect. One point. Well played.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Yeah, that sounds about right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Is Tony a good basketball player?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Who tries to walk on as a quarterback who's not a quarterback? That's crazy. He probably could have did some H-back, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
He is the MVP. That's the number one thing you need as an athlete.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Not the professional athletes? I just want to get him out there and see what he's made of. I'm not saying I'm better than him or I could beat him. Could he beat Steve Williams in basketball? I just want to get him out there. Could he whoop Steve Williams' ass is the question that Nick is really wondering with all of this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
We've got to get Tony out here to defend himself.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
You just saved your Achilles by releasing that thing. What kind of shoes are that? Are you wearing, like, early 2000s-y patterns? No, I think they were horse huffs or whatever. Why are they that shape? It's like an octagon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
points it out accurately you'd think it'd be muscle memory for all the parts of the race to be like i'm gonna go into the thing that someone literally made me a millionaire to be really good at and that's where it all fell apart yep the back pedal that's crazy the overconfident uh back pedal cost me the win i still think i won charlie those clogs what was that yeah What kind of shoe?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
What year was it? And we can figure it out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
And you had the access to all the spending of the Cole Hawn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Athletic dress shoes, man. I love it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Crazy? Go look up the cost of Kohan in 2011. And that will tell you how big his house is. It's called Foxworth Manor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Dan would have sent you away, but we're not gonna do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
True team leaders here. You're gonna be better at the end of the show for that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Has he ever seen white people?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Does he think it was those same white people?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Y'all can't take me back? No, I like it here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Like, cats are weird. He's a black guy, man. This is his first cat ever. I can almost guarantee you he's never had a cat before this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
You know what I think it is? What is it? Thank you. Thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
First off, that's not not not going to tolerate any Andy Dalton slander while I'm on this show. Should have been a first round pick. Number one. Who slandered him? I just I don't know, because it was the tone. It was an up and then it went down in the tone of his voice. Patrick Mahomes, Brett Barb, Andy Dalton.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
They are different comparisons. You're insulted by the Shador comparison. I would rather him just give the information and say, hey, he compared him to these guys and he compared Shador to this guy and just walk away from it. Hold on. There was a comedic timing to his voice. It was well delivered.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Or Andy Dalton. I would just like to get my information, please. I would not like to be coerced into it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
I feel really good about Cam Ward, man. I feel good more than anything. I mean, yes, he looks good on tape. He has the arm strength. He throws at the certain arm angles like Daniel Jeremiah said. And I love Daniel Jeremiah. I really trust his opinion on the quarterback guys. What I love most about Ward...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
is like the opposite of what you expect for guys that have been in and out of the portal, right? Because in this new day and age where you're going to have a quarterback that's played for two, three, four programs, you're going to have a lot of questions about, A, their personality, why they're doing that, what's important to them, and them not being able to be stable in any one place.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Cam Ward has also bounced around, but if you watched him, he jumped up at every level, and it felt more like – in an effort to prove who he was to everybody else and himself. And when you look at the success he's had at every single stop, I mean, you can't help but be impressed. This is a guy who will go into a program and has such a confidence in himself that he is the linchpin to turn it around.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
And you know what? I also think Shador fits in that bucket as well. Now, obviously, there's conversation around Shador and they're like, oh, he's arrogant. Yes, he is a confident dude. Like he's the son of Deion Sanders. You know what I mean? I'm short. My dad is short. That's what that's how it works. You kind of get what you're given. But at the same time, he also went and performed at HBCU.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
And I remember when he went to Colorado, people weren't like, oh, he's going to go here and crush. He's going to go in here and be one of the best quarterbacks in the nation. And he also did that as well. And so there's obviously a lot more factors around Shador and how he ended up at the FCS level.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
But I will say I feel this, like, very similar to him than Cam Ward, that there's a trajectory there where they're all still climbing. I don't think it's been a plateau.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
What the hell is this supposed to mean, man? I'm saying that you established yesterday. This was your strategy in game two? No. To start a rift with your teammates?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
If he was in the gym when I was in the gym. Every day, early putting up shots.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Yeah, I don't think you're wrong. And I think I've watched maybe, again, admittedly, maybe three, like, all 22s of Shador. But when I watch him, and the same with Cam Warwick, it's like Mike said, there's things that pop up that you don't love, like, that he's not developed on. There will still be development for both of these guys. And, like, I also have to consider, like, where they've been.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
I do, not that it's been a bad thing that he's played for his father or But it's a different situation. Like, you're not out there on the island. I have a son as well. And I know, yo, sometimes I got to just drop him off and let him get out there and just figure it out. Otherwise, there will be always a crutch there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
And I feel like in some of Shador's development, you see that in his film, which I do feel like in the right situation and with the right coaches, he will develop his way out of because of the ability he has. It's like when I'm scouting high school receivers and I see a guy from South Florida and then I see a guy from Fort Wayne, Indiana, and I see them in their camp tape.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
and I see one kid who's catching the ball at camp in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and he's just running back to the huddle instead of running upfield, which is like, hey, you got to do this. But then I see a guy in South Florida do it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Knowing the culture down here, knowing the football culture, knowing what you're exposed to at such an early age, then I'm more like, oh, that's a decision for you not to do that versus this guy doesn't have the information. And when I look at Shador's downside, I feel like the situation he's in in some ways has capped him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
like the best version that we could probably expect when we put on the game field.

Howdy folks, it's Mike Ryan. I talk to you about Miller time all the time, but we're in the winter time right now and one of my favorite pastimes is to crack open a Miller light and enjoy myself some Miller time during the winter time because when there's a brisk chill in the air, it just makes everything right.

My friends and I who live down here in South Florida can actually sit outside because it's not super muggy. We can thoroughly enjoy our Miller time together. And for you listening, I know there's a lot of things going on right now. Sports, Tast like Miller time! Bis zum nächsten Mal.

Hour 2: Don't Look Now
Are you looking? No. Alright, no one look me in the eye. Dan, this is very easy for you. Your eyes aren't showing. Don't look now. Aber es gibt alle Art von Schwierigkeiten, was mit dem Nr. 1-Pick passieren wird. Abdul-Karter muss jetzt Surgery bekommen. Es gab alle Art von Schrecken und Schmerzen, Rumor und Innuendo aus der Kombine, dass er der Nr.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Don't Look Now
Well, teams were stopping it, especially in the playoffs. Kansas City had success stopping it against Buffalo. Washington had success and it gave us a very memorable, repeated off sides in which the referee was threatening them. But they had success within that game, made Philadelphia uncomfortable and do different things. Ultimately, I think that the league's just got to get better at stopping.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Did you think Goldberg's streak was bad in WCW? Because this is an unstoppable thing and the second that someone's going to stop it in a crucial moment, you're going to be thankful for this narrative going into that moment.

Du willst einen Vollback-Dive? Sie haben einfach einen kreativen Weg gefunden, um etwas zu tun, was wir immer gesehen haben. Tom Brady war unabhängig von den Verteidigern. Ich würde mit dir aufmerksam machen, wenn sie das, was ich für sie gemacht habe, für immer gemacht hätten.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Don't Look Now
1-Pick war, vor allem als man die Landry-News gesehen hat. Aber jetzt, mit diesem Schmerz und potenziellen Surgery, schaut euch das jetzt an. Aber Cam Ward kann tatsächlich der Nr. 1-Pick sein.

Dan, was würdest du mit diesem Nr. 1-Pick machen? Denn das ist einer der schwierigeren Nr. 1-Picks, die ich je erinnern kann. Es gibt kein Nr. 1-Konsens. Es ist nicht eine tolle Quarterback-Klasse, aber wir können alle sagen, dass Cam Ward am Top ist. Ich weiß, du bist ein großer Cam-Ward-Guy. Du hast einen Unicorn, der auf beiden Seiten des Balls spielen kann. Und du hast einen prototypischen Nr.

Schau dir das jetzt an. But Andy Dalton has re-signed with the Carolina Panthers. What? And it's a nice insurance policy behind Bryce Young, but do we have confidence that the Bryce Young that we saw at the tail end of the season is real Bryce Young? I mean, I like this as an insurance policy, no doubt, guys, but I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

Don't look now, but Eric Bedard has been on like 40 line combinations for the Chicago Blackhawks. I'm pretty certain he may not be good anymore.

Hour 1: Michael Kosta Is a Lucky Loser
As a tennis person, how inaccurate or how far-fetched is that story?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Michael Kosta Is a Lucky Loser
It sounds even more insane to say, man, it's such a hard, competitive, lonely way to make a living. Let me be a stand-up comedian instead. Yeah. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Michael Kosta Is a Lucky Loser
Okay. How you feel about Challengers is how I feel about Hoosiers. That's not how any of that works.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Michael Kosta Is a Lucky Loser
Don Levitard. If Daniel Day-Lewis did it, you'd be jerking off all over yourself. Oh, come on. Yeah, I would be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Michael Kosta Is a Lucky Loser
Wow. Okay, these HBO numbers that they put out, all of these are fudged beyond belief.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Michael Kosta Is a Lucky Loser
Yeah, they're fudged. On the other side, it's actually more people are watching. And they're just being too modest with those numbers. No, Dan. That number sounds big to me because everyone knew Dallas wasn't healthy and the game wasn't in Dallas. So I think those things dampen what could have been.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Michael Kosta Is a Lucky Loser
I mean, if you gave me either of those things, either a full-strength Mavericks team or have them be hurt, but this game happens in Dallas, I think the numbers spike. It was also a late game, though, wasn't it? 10-10 Eastern. Yep.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Michael Kosta Is a Lucky Loser
Dan, it's funny. When I saw the infographic saying Mavericks are concerned because Luka likes beer and hookah, I said, you could just replace the word Luka with Amin, and nothing would change. It's exactly like, oh, wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Michael Kosta Is a Lucky Loser
No. I say that person is worthy of... Applause, right? Everyone needs to compensate this person even more richly than he's already being compensated because it turns out this is what he's doing. He's giving you this excellence on beer and hookah? How do you not pay him? How are you not impressed by his brilliance?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Michael Kosta Is a Lucky Loser
That's the problem. That's what makes them a dilemma because the basketball is unquestioned. There are so many guys, they get hurt or they don't achieve and we're like, yeah, okay, you didn't end up being what we thought you would be. And so it's easier to cut ties. Think of Markel Fultz. It was easy to basically give up on Markel Fultz. It was easy to give up on Anthony Bennett.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Michael Kosta Is a Lucky Loser
It's easy to give up on Andrew Wiggins. It's hard as hell to give up on Joel Embiid and Zion Williamson because when they do play... They are legitimately historic. Some of the greatest basketball ever, right? What Jeremy just talked about. For him to be the most double-teamed person, already shocking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Michael Kosta Is a Lucky Loser
It is harder, Chris, to, for instance, Curry, it's hard to double team him because he's moving off ball so much. They do try to trap him, but then how often do those instances happen, number one. Number two, I suspect the other part of this is,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Michael Kosta Is a Lucky Loser
Zion is not as great a passer as, say, Jokic or LeBron, so the penalty for double-teaming him as a defense is much lower than it would be to double-team Jokic, for instance. So, yeah, there is some stuff there. But still, for him to be number one and for the gap between one and two to be two to the hundred, like, it speaks to this guy's seriously... Something that teams fear, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Michael Kosta Is a Lucky Loser
But he's not out there. The other stat you gave is he is the fastest to 5,000. In terms of games played, sure. If we count days, no way. What was that noise? That wasn't me. Who did that? It was me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Michael Kosta Is a Lucky Loser
I was like, what's happening to my microphone? I thought it was me.

Billy Kennedy, who was reffing the game last night, he's a guy that delivers it. He's so funny. He does a great job of delivery. Billy, I'm looking at you right now. I need you to start doing this. Be more sarcastic when you announce whether the call is upheld or overturned.

Because now I'm thinking about it. Imagine Barry Bonds as a plate umpire. He'd see it all. He'd be like, oh, that was a strike. I'm like, what are you talking about? I was like, go ahead. Do the replay. I wish you'd call.

Michael, what was the thing that made you say, you know what, I'm gonna try my hand at professional comedy?

Hour 1: Michael Kosta Is a Lucky Loser
I just love the idea, like, this was the birth of a great comedy career.

Hour 1: Michael Kosta Is a Lucky Loser
I'm curious, for me, I worked in basketball for 10 years in the NBA and then obviously covering basketball. Whenever I watch a movie that's about basketball, All I see is just like, that's not how any of that works. This is awful. Last year, Challengers came out and did very well. It's about tennis. I, as a tennis outsider, was like, oh, that's really cool.

He does get his table. Will Purdue never shows up, but he gets his table. He gets his table, though.

The Big Suey: I Got Engaged Here Five Years Ago
But I said I was making it for Dan. That's right. No, I got mad at him. I got mad at him because the busiest day of the year in Miami at the busiest restaurant, he wanted a table for 17. And he, I've learned, once they get the table for 17, didn't even go. It was for 17 friends.

I believe that did happen with Tom Brady. Right. He wanted him out like two years before he was actually out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Prolific Dick Wolf
Isn't this a bad strategy for Pat in general? Because aren't other players going to look at this and the treatment of Jimmy Butler at the very end here and be like, I don't want to play for an old bitter guy who's still mad about something LeBron James did to him at the very end.

It's a combination of the numbers and the messenger. I don't care, by the way, how fast he's running, if he's running fast, how often he's running. I don't care. That's his job. His job is to run. Here are stats that I care about, Dan. He didn't smile during the pregame. He wore Phoenix Suns colors a couple of nights ago. That was annoying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Prolific Dick Wolf
And he sat a couple of seats away from any of his teammates. Those are the stats I care about. Quitter. That's it.

What are you talking about? I know, but you love that show. I know you love that show. The Pyramid? Yes. I have watched it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Prolific Dick Wolf
What I love about the pyramid is I think it has the best way of settling if you're going to win big money or not. Like, I think there's a minute there where you're just intrigued because you want to see if this person can fill the entire pyramid before 60 seconds is up with the right clues, right? I think that's the best way of settling a game show.

Mike, nothing is in confidence. You know this. You've been working with Dan for a long time.

The Big Suey: I Disagree With Your Analysis of My Analysis (feat. Nick Wright)
You're right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: I Disagree With Your Analysis of My Analysis (feat. Nick Wright)
I just... I perked up. He called Tom Brady a choker, which I thought was an understated nugget.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: I Disagree With Your Analysis of My Analysis (feat. Nick Wright)
It's fair to say, though, that that betting line late in the week went from 2.5 to 1, which is a pretty big drop. There was a lot of late money, smart money going in on Philadelphia. I personally picked the Eagles to win. I think they had a much better roster. But I reject, as Nick Wright rejected, I reject the idea that just because you lose a game and have a bad performance, it means you choked.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: I Disagree With Your Analysis of My Analysis (feat. Nick Wright)
I don't think that's the case.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: I Disagree With Your Analysis of My Analysis (feat. Nick Wright)
The most predictable narrative in America coming out of that game was that A, the Chiefs dynasty is done, and B, here come the Eagles, the next dynasty. Neither one of those things is automatically true. And it wouldn't surprise me if both of them proved to be false. I can't overemphasize that it's sports. If the Chiefs played the Eagles next week and the Chiefs won, nobody should be surprised.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: I Disagree With Your Analysis of My Analysis (feat. Nick Wright)
I think it's totally unfair to expect athletes, great athletes, to be superhuman relentlessly and not allow them the occasional bad game, albeit even if it comes in a Super Bowl. He's human. People have bad games. Saquon Barkley ran in mud. He had 57 yards on 25 carries.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: I Disagree With Your Analysis of My Analysis (feat. Nick Wright)
Wow, so you choked. No, I just didn't know enough.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: I Disagree With Your Analysis of My Analysis (feat. Nick Wright)
So you're saying Andy Reid didn't know enough. That's choking. You choked.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: I Disagree With Your Analysis of My Analysis (feat. Nick Wright)
Yes, exactly. Same material, like a canvas almost. It's an important distinction.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: I Disagree With Your Analysis of My Analysis (feat. Nick Wright)
Wow. Dandy Reed. Dandy Reed. Were you fired after that game? Yeah. After you blew the championship game? Did they fire 14-year-olds? Because I feel like, you know. You should have been fired. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: I Disagree With Your Analysis of My Analysis (feat. Nick Wright)
Stu Gatz is not disoriented. Plus, he said it first. I was just echoing him. I was reiterating what a great line Stugatz came up with. Thank you. So nice we said it twice. Yeah, I was jealous.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
I was probably like, that kind of thing. Something? Okay, no. The home run call was that kind of swing, that kind of thing. Stugatz. Oh. That's a good call. Thank you. And plus, it doesn't matter who's hitting it. Like, you're not tailoring it to a particular name. You know, all that jazz, you know, you don't got to do that. Oh, that would be a great call. That kind of swing, that kind of thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
This is the Dan Labatar Show with the Stugats.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
With quarterbacking, it always amazes me how we're afraid to admit what an inexact science the analysis of that position is. And the evidence is from where Tom Brady was drafted to Cam Ward. Anybody remember Todd Marinovich? He was supposed to be the next great thing. And he didn't even make it at all. And so it's, you know, milk plum if I'm going to throw in an old thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
Once we get to Milt Plum, we got it. That's not a real name. Milt Plum was supposed to be the next great quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
He was more reason than that. I think he played in the 60s. He was born in the 30s.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
He had a long career, but it was not the height of the NFL.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
Hello. There you go. So did Joe Namath. So did Joe Namath. That's right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
But we didn't always know it. Look at some of the quarterbacks who had great seasons. They were written off five years ago. Jared Goff, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield. You know, we write off quarterbacks too quickly. Five years later, they're at the top of their game. Better statistical seasons than Patrick Mahomes had this year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
It's because of college exploits like that that people thought he was going to be the next big superstar in the NFL, which he never became.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
He's right. How? It's a rhetorical question, granted. But you're right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
Earl Woods. Again. It was already said. It's a funny name.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
Earl Woods is a funny name. I'm sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
You all thought I was plum crazy. I wasn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
He tried to stretch an infield single into a double.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
this year that's a pretty good case i mean i think lamar should win it but lamar jackson has to win the mvp do you hear what he just said yeah that's never been done before i heard it all in one season i heard every second and you can make stats like that for jamar i mean the the the dual i mean jamar chase also he wins another mvp does he have more mvps and playoff wins
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
Okay, Lamar Jackson. I don't have the stats in front of me. I'm not as smart as Jason. You don't like him either? As Jason. What? It's my brother's name.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
Lamar Jackson has, I think, like 47 touchdown passes and five interceptions, not to mention almost 1,000 yards rushing. Nobody does that. He has to win the MVP award. I don't care.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
41 to 4. You said 47. Okay, the ratio. I had the ratio right on the mark. 47 to 5 statistically is about the same as 41 to 4.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
El Jack has to win the MVP award this year, in my opinion. Granted, he was a Lobo, so I'm a little prejudiced in his behalf.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
That begs an explanation. Okay. Lamar, I had two fantasy teams, both called Lobos. Lamar started on one team, Jamar Chase on the other. Okay, so technically, again, I was right. But... Jamar Chase won the MVL award in a controversial decision over Saquon Barkley. Okay?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

That's true. This is a new and unimproved Dan Levitar show with the Stugas.

They actually have a copy of Dan's email response to someone who asked about this, in which he just detailed everything he just said on the air. Oh, okay, nothing added there? Because he's a writer.

Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
What you have in your email is you responded to someone who asked you in September of 2009 that, Is Woody Page a big goofball when he isn't on Around the Horn, or is it just an act for TV? You answered, no, he's that. His career has kind of amazed me. My friends call him Woody Plage.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
Pre-internet, during a Super Bowl in Miami, I went to Ricky Jackson's Pahokee home, wrote scene, described town, had a scene in which Ricky was coming home with a big check for his family. A few days later, Page writes the same column. But he never went to the home, and he just made up some bait shop, and gave some black guy a quote in ridiculous black dialect. This was during Denver News Wars.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
The other Denver paper called him out on it, even wrote a letter in which both columns were published, I think.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
Which one of you? The blame pie. This is my fault. How much of a percentage is going around here? I told Dan about this. Chris, why would you ever tell Dan anything you didn't want to get on air?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
Who would have thought it would get to racism?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
All right. I'm out. It was good. It was fun. I loved working here. I think I got to go on that note.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
He was likable for a couple of years. It's that we forget. He got himself into the media and he was there for long enough. And look, there's people online trying to convince me that like Paul George was better than Dwayne Wade at their peaks. Like everyone forgets everything because of what's happening right now. So Reddit goes and does a podcast for a couple of years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
He's jovial and likable and he does a good job on first take. And every young person watching basketball might not remember when he was with Duke or the Orlando Magic.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
But he's not like, he's not amazing. He's fast. He's big. JSN emerged. He's like Dan. I don't need him anymore. No?

In diesem Tag und Zeit bekommt jeder einen digitalen Screener, der sagt, hier ist der Link und es wird 48 Stunden dauern, um den Film zu sehen, etc. etc. Sie haben physische DVDs gesendet, weil sie dachten, dass man das Kunstwerk und etwas, das man in der Hand halten kann, would be more impactful on the voters.

Hour 1: Tony Applies To Be UM's Assistant Football Coach
Oh my god. Dark red.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Tony Applies To Be UM's Assistant Football Coach
And as Mike said, $6 million budget, $18 million spent on the marketing towards this campaign. Specifically, not the marketing for the movie, the marketing for the Oscar... Yeah, the FYC, four-year consideration. Yes, for the four-year consideration. This is for a movie that made $41 million. Now, that's not the most amazing part.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Tony Applies To Be UM's Assistant Football Coach
The most amazing part is the label, basically, that put this out, Neon Films. This is their second Oscar win in five years. Netflix hasn't done that. Disney hat das nicht gemacht. Sie haben auch Parasite gemacht. Parasite war ein 11-Millionen-Dollar-Budget. Sie haben 20 Millionen Dollar auf das gemacht. Letztes Jahr war auch Anatomy of a Fall. Es wurde nominiert.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Tony Applies To Be UM's Assistant Football Coach
Es hat nicht gewonnen, aber es hat das beste Original-Screenplay gewonnen. Dieser Typ Tom Quinn bei Neon, er könnte es sein. Ich würde sagen, was macht das hier?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Tony Applies To Be UM's Assistant Football Coach
Die Idee hier, Dan, ist, für mich ist es ein Triumph, weil Neon nicht Netflix ist, es ist nicht Apple, es ist nicht Disney. Es ist nicht mal A24. Es ist nicht mal A24. Es hat 2017 angefangen. Sie sind nicht mal 10 Jahre alt. Sie haben die Formel herausgefunden. Step one of the formula, you gotta make good movies. Good, compelling movies with good stories.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Tony Applies To Be UM's Assistant Football Coach
But spend three times the budget on marketing than you do on the art? Hold on. Step two is to be able to do these fiscally responsibly, right? Because by doing it low budget, you allow for the other money to come in and do so. They've also got a couple of other horror movies that did really well in the box office. No doubt. 100 Million Dollar Long Legs, I think, is one of them. No doubt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Tony Applies To Be UM's Assistant Football Coach
Aber die Idee hier, Dan, ist, dass das etwas ist, von dem Hollywood, der große Hollywood, weggeht. Sie sagen, hey, du brauchst einen großen Budget. Du musst 200 Millionen Dollar sparen. Hey, es muss alle Typen von CGI haben. Und oh, übrigens, es muss aufgrund einer existenten IP irgendwo anders basiert sein.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Tony Applies To Be UM's Assistant Football Coach
Und hier ist ein kleiner Indie-Haus, der sagt, wir werden nicht viel sparen, um unsere Filme zu machen. Wir werden gute Filme, originale Geschichten machen. Und dann wird das Geld, das wir sparen, um die Dinge zu bekommen, die wir uns geben werden.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Tony Applies To Be UM's Assistant Football Coach
Und Tom Quinn, der Chef von Neon, hat gesagt, dass Box-Office nicht alles ist. Anora ist eines der kleinsten Box-Office für einen Oscar-Best-Picture-Winner. Er sagt, dass Box-Office nicht der einzige Revenue-Stream ist. Anora ist Nummer 1 auf jeder Entertainment-Plattform. Amazon, Apple, das ist massiv. Das fällt wieder zurück, weil die Leute darüber wissen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Tony Applies To Be UM's Assistant Football Coach
Und mehr Leute werden darüber wissen, weil der Oscar gewonnen hat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Tony Applies To Be UM's Assistant Football Coach
Ich habe gehört, dass ihr über Adrian Brody geredet habt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Tony Applies To Be UM's Assistant Football Coach
Look, it wasn't a great look to demand more time and then not know what to do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Tony Applies To Be UM's Assistant Football Coach
Right. Aber ich glaube, wo er hingehört hat, und er hat seinen Weg durchgeschlagen, aber klar wurde er von der ganzen Musik ausgezogen. Er wollte über soziale Themen sprechen. Er wollte über Antisemitismus sprechen, er wollte über die Überraschung von anderen, so zu sprechen, in der Welt sprechen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Tony Applies To Be UM's Assistant Football Coach
Und ich glaube, er hatte in seinem Geist, oh, ich werde dieses Ding mit diesem sehr tiefen Spruch für Frieden und Liebe und all das. Und In between him being able to get to that point, you know, he gets cut off by the music and he got irritated and he's like, oh, don't do that to me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Tony Applies To Be UM's Assistant Football Coach
Yeah, so he's basically letting people know, like, I know that they're about to play the music Aber nachdem ich das gesagt habe, dachte ich, er wolle etwas bemerkenswertes sagen, aber er wurde überrascht. Und dann denkt jeder, er ist nur ein Arschloch, der mehr Zeit gebraucht hat. Er wollte mehr Zeit für etwas, das etwas größer ist, als nur Mama und Papa zu danken.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Tony Applies To Be UM's Assistant Football Coach
Er hat es mit Erika gemacht.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Tony Applies To Be UM's Assistant Football Coach
Well, because everyone else is just thanking their mom and their cat and stuff like that because it's their first Oscar. But if I've won my second Oscar, it's like, okay, mom and dad, y'all get it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Tony Applies To Be UM's Assistant Football Coach
Yeah, he did. You thought I was breaking news? I was about to leave the show. I was like, Hawk, it's your show now. Sorry, Dan. It's the Andrew Hawkins show.

I'm telling you, I just opened the list and I'm already overwhelmed by names. You want to tell me Adrian Brody is worse than Renee Zellweger? Yeah. Yeah. Preposterous. Yeah, you know, he's way worse than Renee Zeller. No way, no way. What about Diane Wiest? The worst. Are you kidding? The worst DA in the history of Law & Order. No, Diane Wiest is better. No way. She's the worst. Jane Fonda?

Don Levatard. I took my son to the barbershop, get a haircut, and my man gave out some Limp Dap. Oh, no. Damn, damn, damn. Stugatz. I disowned him. I threw him right under the bus. I was like, whose kid is that out here dishing out Limp Dap?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
We got our guests here, guys, so we can stop talking about baseball because who wants to do that? Keaton Thompson is here to join us. Thank you, sir. What's good with y'all? Good morning. Chillin', chillin', chillin'. We're having a good time. I wanted to start with you with Morgan Wallen. I saw him walk off the set. Who did he call the N-word and why didn't you punch him? There he is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
So I'll be clear with you, Keaton. I had an interview earlier where I interviewed Steve Williams, Tiger's former caddy, and I did an awful thing. I asked him poor questions and then I moved my microphone while he was answering the question and I hit this button. While he was answering questions, it was a complete mistake. So I'm reeling right now, Keaton. I'm reeling. And I'm like, you know what?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
I got a big star coming up in Keaton Thompson. I'm about to have a hell of an interview. I'm going to start it off with a spicy question.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
Well, Keenan's here because he's teamed up with Phantom Pharmaceuticals to raise awareness about GERD. We appreciate you, Keenan. What's your connection?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
Yeah, I know what it is. It's an intestinal, right? Go ahead.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
I mean, I did it. I did get him to say that he would whoop Phil Mickelson's ass. That was a good one. Leave that one on the social. I got a bucket, and then I proceeded to turn the ball over for the rest of the quarter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
Is it always this side of that? I'm sorry. Is it always the same song? And what song is it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
Spencer Davis group, I want to say. Hearing you sing that reminded me of a question that we had from earlier in the show. And I would like your ruling on this. So we have a situation of this show when someone says something braggy. We have a sounder that we play that... Here's one. Look at Lucy. Okay. And so that's around. We use that when someone says something braggy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
And then they introduced this for no particular reason, but because they wanted to differentiate between certain type of braggers. And I want to know, is this okay or nah?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
He put gravel in that voice, right? He put gravel in it. And then the name, thumbs up, thumbs down from Kenan Thompson.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
That is what it is.

Of all the guests that you guys have had, who has been the most fun for you to work with?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
G, bro.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
I've been trying to hold him back, Keenan. He was so excited. I was, man. You don't get it, dude. I'm so excited. I'm going to just tell you, big Keenan fans.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
All that, you don't know how many nights he just... So how do you feel about you got a chance to speak to this guy that you really respect and admire, and you just said, and he's from Atlanta, and you just said to him, two down, two up, two up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
Hand up accountability. I blew it. I blew the interview.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
Love to hear it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
I think the athletes and people in sports media aren't like Steve Harvey-level celebrities, so we excited. It's all good, baby. Stephen A., I feel like, is excited when someone impersonates him. Kendrick, I'm sure, is also excited because it's like, oh, y'all, it's always funny. It's like, oh, shit, they actually do be watching this, too. Yeah, I start hating.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
I'm like, damn, Kendrick got an impersonation of personnel. Damn. I got to get my bag. I feel like Keenan can probably help us with this. When you're figuring out impersonations, I assume you're looking for something distinct. But I feel like I'm looking at you, Hawk. I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
No, it's not that you don't got enough. But Kendrick Perkins obviously has very distinct matters of speaking. I was on with him a couple weeks ago. And he was doing exactly, it took everything in me, Kenan, not to laugh because my man was talking about what his grandmama told him. And I was like, man, now you're doing an impersonation of a man doing an impersonation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
So is there, when you were going, figuring out Kendrick Perkins as a character, I guess I was wondering, how do you even determine that this is something that you want to caricature? Because it wasn't as if it was like, he's so in the news that you're like, we got to do something about this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
When do you notice, was you just watching SportsCenter or just watching ESPN or did someone mention it to you? How did it come to be?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
I'm going to work on my Hawk impersonation. I'm down for it. No, I already did it. I did it earlier. Thank you.

Woo! Excellent job. Fight back. Quickest.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
Why are you giving up on game one? No, game one was lost. We were fighting back. We lost it with the questions, the follow-ups to Lucy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
Where's the penalty box button? We don't want anybody in here who is only willing to. I'd like to see you find that button. I'll see if my microphone can pop into it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
I'm great at interviews, guys. Agreed. I got your back, bro. I appreciate it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
Oh, that's what I was doing. I was trying to sound cool. I wasn't trying to sound cool. I just knew before the interview, you were like, hey, if you need me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
Pull the curtain back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
It's like a traffic cop. I will... I... Hand up. Blue it. I'm blue it. I appreciate the coaching. We'll get better. I appreciate that Jess came in and scored a flurry of buckets to get us back in the game, Michael Ruiz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
You know what? I cannot wait until the show awards how many different ways you guys find a way to clown me for doing terrible interviews. It's got to be fun. I'm looking forward to it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
So we're trailing right now. The game's not over. Oh, you're giving up on the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
We know I got a list of questions that I'm actually interested in with our final guest. No one said who it is. Is that are we keeping a secret on purpose?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
You kept doing it. You started it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
So it was unfair of me to ask if you played high school sports because I knew the answer by how you've been conducting yourself amongst this team now. It's like, yeah, that guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
tough no they were just juice to the gills ah geez that's when baseball was fun we got a baseball was baseball we got a baseball story that's about Well, it's not quite cheating yet. They might turn it into cheating real soon. It feels like cheating, Dom. The torpedo bats?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
It's a bowling pin now. To be clear, the Yankees are using a different type of bat called a torpedo bat. Great name. Because it looks like a torpedo, that moves some of the weight and mass of the bat into a place where the ball more often hits, and it's allowed them to hit more. What's the number? It's like 12 home runs in nine innings or something like that? They're close. It's just ridiculous.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson)
It's clear that it's a result of them, of the bats, and it's not because they just all of a sudden became great baseball players. Right.

Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
Can I ask an insensitive question? Like amongst friends here, no judgment. Okay. Tamar Hamlin. Nominated for Comeback Player of the Year again. When is he coming back from this time? He's just bad? Yeah, he was not that good last year. Well, he was never good to begin with. But this was his best season. I don't know, three interceptions, come on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
But come on, this feels like a makeup award. Like, they meant to give it to him last year, and then they didn't. So, like, we'll just give it to him next year. They're low on nominees. People forget when the incident happened.

Have you guys noticed the ticket that Goodell gives away every single week is the exact same seat number? So he's constantly giving away tickets. What ticket? Every day.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
Yeah, every playoff game they give Super Bowl tickets to fans who have done something for the team or whatever, right? And every single time it's the exact same seat number.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
No, it's a giant printed out prop.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
No. No, I know that it's not.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
But they're holding two tickets with the exact same seat number. It's like, oh, we gave away two tickets, blah, blah, blah. And it's like they couldn't even put seats six and seven. They're both like seat six. They printed one thing multiple times. They take it city to city and they're giving away the same exact seat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
I think it's going to be very confusing, honestly. They're all going to get there and they're going to be in the same seat? Everyone's going to have the same seat. What's the usher going to do?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

He's petitioning to get into the Hall of Fame like next year, right? Before kind of his career is not invalidated, but somewhat proven. Maybe he wasn't the secret sauce.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
Well, no, but no one's doing that on air. That's just private talk. Private talk is different than on air talk. Dan, come on. You know that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
Maybe. The problem with today is there's so few football storylines that it's inevitable. We're going to have the same things, you know? Right. Only two games. We did the trade thing. I disagree.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

But, like, if we're being honest, he just threw it up there, like, hoping that it found someone. Kincaid was open. He saw Kincaid. No, but he just threw it up. He just threw it up there, hoping that the play would happen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
He did need to catch that ball, but Josh was heaving it downfield, hoping something would happen. He was running for his life. Come on, that was crazy. Agreed. What's he supposed to do?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
I don't think that'd be a catch now. If we were to re-litigate that play, I don't think that would be... Touch the floor? Yeah, I don't think that would be viewed as a catch now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
Why does no one want to see this happen? No one wants to be part of history? I don't get it. They're so lovable.

I think the Patriots, like, even turned it again towards the end. Like, at the end, you're like, I kind of want to see Brady win again and see if he could do this. Like, at the end of his career, see if he could do this one last time. And then he goes and he wins one in Tampa, too. But, like, I think that the Patriots were so long that you kind of rooted for them and then you hated them.

Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
And then at the end, you're like... Can they keep doing this? I kind of want to see how much they can do this.

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

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
If he were in the league right now and he were a starter in the league, I've read people surmise that he'd be number 30, 31, possibly 32 in terms of arm strength. And maybe he shouldn't have been looked at if this were maybe next year's quarterback class. He wouldn't be discussed as a first round draft pick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
Maybe he's being discussed as a first round draft pick because it's a hugely important position. And this year, outside of Cam Ward, there really isn't consensus on who can be a franchise changing guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
I think he can spin it into, this is a better spot for me. But no, it's definitely not what he wanted. Because I think before his bowl game, he came out with cleats that had... The Giants logo and the Raiders logo, while the draft order was not yet locked in, these were teams that were talked about as potentially having the number one pick. It's not going the way that he wanted.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
I think in December, he certainly had better odds than Kane Ward to be the number one pick. He was a slight dog to not be the number one overall draft pick. And in the months that have followed, as he's going through this process of people inspect his character a little bit more and also his actual skill set. it's not going the way that he wants.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
Is that shocking? No. You can understand, well, we all understand where it comes from, right? And his dad is his biggest supporter, and he's done nothing. I think, didn't he say, hey, let's go to this rap concert and support my son? He's always been in a bubble where he's playing the most important position for his dad, and everybody has to ingratiate themselves to the head coach.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
It's a byproduct of these environments that he's been put in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
It's a tough data point. Famously in the movie Draft Day, Kevin Costner makes a decision because no one showed up to the quarterback's birthday. And he's like, well, that's a big red flag. I mean, it could be because all the people that had a problem with Shador ended up leaving the program. Trust me, you can Google it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
There have been plenty of people that have their opinions about how Deion Sanders runs his program that didn't like it and had things to say. But I could say from watching a lot of Colorado football last year, the teammates love Shador. So how is this actually rubbing his team? I understand where there's that concern.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
But in terms of rah-rah leader guy, Shador seems very supportive of his teammates and the optics are his teammates love him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
It's also not a popular thing to say as he's literally winning overtime. We're sending games into overtime with 40 yard passes that do tend to hang in the air. But if you think about a lot of Travis Hunter's highlights, it's a lot of individual athleticism. It was hard to know what the real data there was because
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
All season long, it almost felt like the offensive identity for Colorado was, we're getting one of these guys a Heisman. We're just going to spam the math.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
Chris has a good one that people would notice. Damar Hamlin? I think everybody would understand. Huh, that's how it happened.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
I mean, there could be a rational belief. We know that that's a genetic trait, right? Shador's confidence in himself has to come from his father some way, right? Biologically speaking. But he's also plenty talented. I will support my daughter. I will go to all of her events. I've also watched her play soccer. I'm not going to fill her head with these dreams of her playing for the U.S.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
women's national team. If anything, I'm going to take her out of soccer and realize this is not who you're calling, babe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
Oh, you were on that outgo too? Yeah, and he was going back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
Teams love that confidence. Cam Ward has plenty of that confidence. It's when do you turn it off? When do you know that, oh, I should be interviewing right now, not giving off cocky, arrogant quarterback. And there's something clearly happening in these interviews where his personality is rubbing those executives the wrong way. Cam has, if you ever see Cam, they work out together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
Cam comes off as the more confident guy whenever they're paired with one another. But through the evaluation process, he's also a good team guy in a more conventional sense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
I would assume. Did it stick to Von Miller? Because he got pinched for it several years ago. Did that stigma stick around?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
I mean, Vaughn Miller is way more famous than Larry Ogunjobi.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
That's not true. Yes, people would certainly care well more if it was a starting quarterback, especially one with the physical gifts of Josh Allen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
He is, and it's grating. It's grading when they're not winning. And I know plenty of Cowboys fans that are rubbed the wrong way by how Micah Parsons does Twitch streams and podcasts. And when they're not getting the results that they want on the field, they start turning on everybody over there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
But I do think Dak Prescott's a bigger star than him, just because I observed on mute the A block of first take for a year and a half.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
Well, but I mean, just Michael Parsons wants to be thought of as one of those personalities where Dak Prescott almost laments his celebrity.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
He finally got to a spot where his teammates love him. But yeah, his act wore thin in Cleveland when they weren't producing. He got pushed out of there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
Generally, people don't care about NFL PED suspensions. I mean, they care for what it does to betting lines and fantasy football and baseball. I guess the timing of when these things happen also matter. I feel like if you're a star, though, like if Jamar Chase got caught, that would be a new story. It would, but for the weeks, it doesn't taint his legacy in ways that it does in baseball.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
That was a nowhere franchise until Joe Burrow got there. They made it to a Super Bowl, and they made it to an AFC championship game. I don't really have many data points of Joe Burrow being elite when he's not surrounded by multiple world-class receivers. That's not a knock on Joe Burrow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
I believe Joe Burrow to be great, but I also know what he had in college and what he's had in the pros, and anytime they're good, with the exception of last year, they have two really good receivers at least to help Joe Burrow take them there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
And they didn't. And they didn't make the playoffs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
I don't disagree. If I'm paying a quarterback that much money, I'd like to think that, like Patrick Mahomes, we can afford to lose even a Tyree Kill. Ideally, if I'm paying my quarterback that much money, I can afford to lose Jamar Chase. I'm the Cincinnati Bengals. I never spend money.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
I have a unicorn at quarterback that has done the impossible seemingly and has dragged my franchise from having the number, well, a top pick. He went number one. So a number one overall pick to a team that was perennially in the Super Bowl conversation. I trust a quarterback. What do you want here? What do you want us to do? We've addressed the defense by bringing in Al Golden.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
I don't think it's enough to overcome losing Hendrickson and Hubbard, but they're going to have to change their business model because of the quarterback contract that they gave. And he feels strongly enough that I need T. Higgins to be what you need me to be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
But Joe Burrow could apply the pressure on guys like Hendrickson. He could have. He chose not to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
It's weird. Last week you were like, Miles Garrett should hold this franchise hostage and have as much power as possible. And now you're going on the other way around it. Like, screw you, Joe Burrow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
In good faith. I also think that you're calling for a power that historically just doesn't exist in the NFL. NFL players have never had this power that you were projecting onto Miles Garrett. It's just not the power dynamic of their contracts. They have very little leverage. They can't do what NBA teams are often faced with when it comes to star players doing that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
But I defer to self-recognition that I'm a loser franchise, and I've always been one, except for when Joe Burrow is here. And what Joe Burrow tells me he needs, I'm going to get for Joe Burrow, because that's usually worked out for us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
I'm with you. I think there's just a general understanding. Yeah, that sport's crazier than most. I'm so not surprised that Larry Ogunjobi, who has been in the league forever, has played with so many teams, has found a way to stick through this very difficult position in an alpha male sport by turning to something. It's just not surprising. In fact...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
So a couple days ago, it seemed like Adam Schefter was very flustered and putting it all on Aaron Rodgers. Just pick. Are you going to play or not? It's the Giants or it's the Steelers. Are you going to pick or not? And Rodgers waited it out, and the most recent reporting is his top choice is Minnesota. But it's kind of weird because it takes two to tango.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
And all the framing around the reporting of Aaron Rodgers and his decision, his preference being Minnesota, is if they want him to. So now it's another thing that we're waiting on to figure out when it comes to Aaron Rodgers. It seems as though it's been pretty much identified that Aaron Rodgers would like to play and play for the Minnesota Vikings. That is his top choice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
Now he's kind of waiting for Minnesota to reciprocate.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
No doubt. It's probably the smartest public move that he's made in quite some time. And you're not overly threatened by the young quarterback because the young quarterback has to show that his body can even hold up. So, yeah, it's a great place for him. Absolutely, 100. I get it. I think he's doing the smart thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
I would be a little concerned as to, well, I'm just really going to do the Brett Favre thing? Whole pass. I'm just going to do the whole thing. And I'm going to play Green Bay. I'm going to play my replacement. I'm going to do that whole thing. Really, I'm okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
My base assumption is that all these guys have to do something, especially the ones that have stayed in the league for so long, to either recoup from injury or try to avoid it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
Fan bases do. It's been interesting to see, but I'm also on that algo, so I'm also getting fed more stuff, so I'm not exactly sure if my experience with it is outsized. But the more distance that I get from the Mitchell Report and people speaking in front of Congress...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
Those guys in the late 90s, I know that they soared with impunity and made a lot of money because of the drugs that they were turning to, but man, that's looking a little unfair. Yeah. In retrospect. Rafael Palmeiro.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
He was also a Florida Panther. Really? I mean, it's awfully convenient for someone that roots for the Panthers to say, I don't really think about it. It's bothered me, and I'm deducing that it certainly helped him because he's looked like a different player this season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
I think the reasons why this one resonated so much is, as Roy mentioned, you don't see this often in this sport. And his his explanation was, I took something I shouldn't have that I wasn't aware that I wasn't completely aware I shouldn't have to get back. Well, this is a player that was so impacted by all of his injuries.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
I'm sure many people in our audience that kind of tangentially follow the sport know that generally when we invoke Aaron Eckblad's name months ago, it was about frustration. This guy is making bad mistakes. He can't keep up. He's a shell of himself. And this year, all that went away.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
and he was starting to be healthy and you couldn't ignore the correlation between okay maybe it's just fitness but now you have this element thrown into it and you start wondering well i guess my eyes weren't lying to me he was a different player and this is why struggling to find the origin but it is british originally british slang okay so thank you we're further along than we were moments ago
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
There was a wedding of one of the Florida Panthers when they had lost to the Vegas Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup Final. And people were in neck braces. People were on crutches. Everyone looked like they were in a military hospital.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
Didn't Eckblad play with a broken bone in his leg? Yes. I think he played with a broken bone in his leg. And I saw those photos and I was happy with the season. Panthers were the last seed to get into the playoffs, lucky to get into the playoffs and went on this majestic run. And I saw those photos. I'm like, man, is that worth it? There were like a half dozen people that shouldn't have been out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
Absolutely. I mean, Matthew Kachuk was in a serious car accident on the ice, a broken collarbone. He left the game. He came back and had a game-winning assist in that game before he couldn't get out of bed the following day.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
I think you can be upset because no one else gets caught.

Oh, that's just football. I don't know how many people are getting up for Larry Ogunjobi. It's just rare that you see two of them announced simultaneously. Like, wait, was this the offseason plan? Weather is starting to warm up. Regular season starting to wind down. Games of consequence in sports starting to ramp up. I know what you're going to need by your side. It's by my side already.

Miller Lite. Yeah, that's right. I'm making my springtime a Miller time. I'm making my sports time Miller time. Going to a car race? Miller time. Going to see some tennis? Miller time. Going to chill in the backyard with some friends and make some memories? Miller time. I love Miller Lite because it's got taste that I know I can depend on. No games, no gimmicks. It's that simple, folks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
It's just a great beer for people who like beer. Miller Lite is brewed for taste. It hits different than the other light beers. It's got simple ingredients, and at just 96 calories, 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces, Miller time is always a good time. The original light beer since 1975, and still the very best one. Miller Lite, great taste, 96 calories.

Florida claws back from down 2-0 because they were getting their asses handed to them by Toronto to then get lit afire underneath them by their head coach, Paul Maurice, who did the thing. Remember how the run was sparked last year? Stugatz. He called them a bunch of P's and B's. He did the thing again. Called them a bunch of P's and B's, and then, boom, five unanswered. You win the division.

Hour 1: The Mitchell Report Was Crazy, Huh?
Well, I know that Lewis Riddick came out and said what's happening to Shador Sanders is unfair because people are slandering his name. And a lot of this is people reading tea leaves, hearing whispers, and talk show hosts running with this thing. But quite honestly, I think what's happening mostly is he has a very weak arm.

But you were surprised to hear that, Dan? Like two valets getting in an accident in this garage. The corners are tight. They usually honk when they're coming around the corners. And I appreciate that because they're letting me know that they're coming. But I'm not surprised by it.

Hour 1: Nobody Wants To Eat a Wet Banana
I don't care what Philadelphia is tired of. I'm tired of their fan base. How does that sound? They wanted to fire Nick Sirianni like a month or two ago, and now they're all celebrating Nick Sirianni. He is the greatest coach in Eagles history. I said it. Better than Andy Reid. Better than Dick Vermeule. This is the fourth consecutive season he has led this team to the playoffs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nobody Wants To Eat a Wet Banana
He's the only Eagles coach in Eagles history to do that for... First four seasons, going to the playoffs, he was a play away from beating Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes in a Super Bowl. I don't care about what Philadelphia fans think about anything. And I'm talking to you, Spike Eskin, and I'm talking to you, Angelo Cataldi. I don't care what you have to say.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nobody Wants To Eat a Wet Banana
You wanted to fire Nick Sirianni 35 days ago, and I'm not going to allow you to celebrate Nick Sirianni moving forward. How about that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nobody Wants To Eat a Wet Banana
Spike Eskin is there. He went from WFAN. I was going to take his job as the program director, and now he's doing Afternoon Drive. How about that? Howard Eskin to Spike Eskin. No nepotism there. I mean, nothing to see. It works hard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nobody Wants To Eat a Wet Banana
But there is something pretty ridiculous about seeing Eagle fans now celebrate Nick Sirianni when two months ago they wanted him fired. They did. They were yelling at him at home games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nobody Wants To Eat a Wet Banana
You know what I would give for Nick Sirianni to be my coach? You know what I would give for the last four seasons of the Eagles? Anything. Anything. Like a finger.

When you say six good teams and we all know it, you're talking Chiefs, Ravens, Bills, Eagles, Lions, Bengals. Vikings?

Hour 1: Nobody Wants To Eat a Wet Banana
Run games? One-score games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nobody Wants To Eat a Wet Banana
One-run games. The record overall was 14-3, so it stands to reason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nobody Wants To Eat a Wet Banana
Correct, or is it the Lions? The Vikings were plus 100. The Packers, just to put that into perspective, the Packers were plus 122.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nobody Wants To Eat a Wet Banana
Right. In fairness, no one headed into the season, everyone thought Lions-Packers in that division. It was not the Vikings. The Vikings were supposed to be a bad team.

easy upgrade for for their roster much better than Minshew O'Connell Ritter well that's true I'll admit that they need to get the running game in order but the sneaky thing about the Raiders is they had 2,000 yard receivers Bowers and Jacoby Myers in 15 games also had more than a thousand yards receiving this year just did it with very little fanfare because they weren't playing meaningful games
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

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

Howdy, folks. It's Mike Ryan. I want to responsibly speak to you about my favorite time, Miller time. Look, a lot of things are coming back in the season. MLS is back. P's and C's in the MLB. You know who puts the ML in those sports? Miller Lite. That's right. From basketball to hockey to game night, winter means more moments with the coolest people in your life.

Make these moments even better with Miller Lite, the greatest tasting light beer for people like you and me who love their beer. Now's a perfect time for friends, family, and a great tasting light beer. tastes like Miller time. And it's got tastes that you know you can depend on.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
So I brought attention to the ongoing Geno Smith debate, so you guys would take inventory of the situation and maybe share some regret. Instead, you took that as an opportunity to quadruple down on your very passionate, conviction-filled Geno Smith takes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
We might ban his name for the rest of the show if we keep doing this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
We understand why they did it. We understand why the Seahawks did it. Upgraded the position for the Raiders. I think even Greg would agree with that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

We have three more mentions of his name on this show allowed.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Yes. I think we all were. I'm in on it. I like going through. I like stats. I like digging through these Pro Bowl years of Geno Smith and say, man, more people should have paid attention to that. That's one. Yeah, but there you go. I'm good with it.

isn't actually an option for miles garrett when he has all that money guaranteed that he may not get next year if he gets injured miles garrett did make it as messy as possible i mean he you could say like i guess he could have been more of a baby about it but he came out with his trade request he actually got the fans behind his trade request and he did the media circuit all throughout radio row and the super bowl about his trade request what happened was
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
It's an already impossible contract to move, even with his superlative production. They probably gave him here the options. They never deviated from the fact that they never wanted to trade him, and they decided to make the problem go away by giving it the biggest contract ever. for someone that's not a quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
And Miles Garrett, I know you'd like to do some role play here, saw the situation, laid out the entire lay of the land, knew that he had the weird, he was in the weird position of being a franchise player in the prime of his career, and yet the fans still understood his trade request and he still decided to stay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
He wanted money. He caved. So, like, if you're Miles Garrett, what you would have done is... You would have signed the contract because that's what Miles Garrett did end up doing, which is he signed, OK, give me the big money bomb. I'll take that. That's fine enough. Everybody understands where he was coming from. It wasn't easy to move. It wasn't fair value for them to move him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Not many teams could even take the backloaded contract. So ultimately, like it was posturing. Miles Garrett, yeah, he was calling into question something that everybody agreed with. Someone saying that who has played those years for that franchise, everybody understands that they've botched his career and that they're not doing enough winning. But that's a move in a negotiation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
And Miles Garrett got what he wanted.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Yeah, and then the agent says, okay, he's not happy. You want him happy? This is the number.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
What am I missing? He used all the power, and he got the greatest deal ever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
You want him to just go to another team that doesn't have the cap room?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
We've seen it before, Le'Veon Bell before, and it didn't really work out for him. We've seen it. That's not what Miles Garrett's motivations were. If you want to craft a scenario... I do want to craft that scenario in football.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Well, just name him like a Joey football player. Because it's just not a real thing. He used all the leverage at his disposal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
If he were a different guy and he actually valued winning over money, then yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
I'm not crazy about how everyone just took that as fact. He likes Cleveland. He's a part of the community.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Is this Joey football player again? He's happy there because he's rich. But if he had his choice, he'd be like, he's not like, oh, this is where I'd be. Even after retirement. You guys have no way of knowing that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Billy, you think he stays there in retirement?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
This is so dystopian. This is one of the good stories. Yeah. It's a good story. A guy that has earned for that franchise the biggest contract they can hand out in the history of sports to a non-quarterback. And he earned it. Everyone's happy. They get to keep their legend. He decided, you know what, I know I said a lot of hurtful things, but I got this contract and we're here, Cleveland.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
You're going to still see my smiling face. And we know we have all sorts of uncertainty around the quarterback position, but you're going to see my smiling face over there potentially throwing helmets at other people's heads.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
And it's all going to get fixed when they draft Cam Hoard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
What are we doing there with that? They have two good receivers now. They had one, and now they have two. They were doing that in the other room. They're the same guy. It's like, yeah, they're both good. They're going to find a quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Do we believe this Aaron Rodgers interest? Popping up a lot of places. Feels like spin from an agent. Just trying to keep his name in there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
It's interesting how it's being reported because it's just like Schefter constantly opening up the door like, hey, they're talking about him. And that's kind of the reporting that we get on it, which was kind of what happened this morning, which is as they still try to have conversations with Justin Fields and Russell Wilson, another name that's being invoked is Aaron Rodgers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
And that's kind of how the reporting is being done. That Aaron always seems like someone's like plan B, plan C.

and jsn so i think that dk metcalf i am a little worried big bodied wide receivers historically drop off a little bit earlier but they have two good wide receivers i think a lot what a lot of people are doing is they have the same jersey number how's that going to work out between pickens and dk that is a good question who is going to wear 14 next pickens if they're both on the steelers

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
To answer the original question, I think Geno Smith is a top four quarterback in Seahawks history. And he's borderline Jersey retirement guy. And if he were around when they had some of their better teams, they would have had the same number of Super Bowl wins at the very least. Do you know, Smith?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
I think you go Craig.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
In terms of passing yardage for that franchise, Geno Smith is fifth. Last year, in terms of passing yardage, Geno Smith was fourth. I think it's a great deal for all parties. I think that they're not going to keep Geno Smith long-term in Seattle. They want to tether a franchise quarterback to this head coach. We're at the tail end of Geno Smith's career. For the Raiders, it's a great idea.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
No one was really thinking that Geno Smith was available. They missed out on Stafford. You have Brady kind of intertwined with their decisions there. You have Geno kind of hold it down for a year, maybe bring up a guy that you develop. It's a perfect trade, and you reunite him with a coach that he had some success with in Pete Carroll.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...

Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Don Libetard. Why are you guys blurting out safety names? It's the best game ever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Weekend Observations brought to you by Miller Lite. Dan, he had the worst two-year stretch of his career. He lost his wife, who went on to have a kid with somebody else. Then there were questions about his broadcasting skills and whether or not he was the greatest of all time. But last night. What? Last night, Dan, everything changed. Really? Because that debate was put to bed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
A little while ago, we were talking about Bernard Pollard, and now I think we're just playing a game in this studio where we're just naming safeties. Kind of like the 90s baseball player game. A couple minutes ago, I just blurted out Brock Marion. Great one. And it made a few people happy. Stugatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Bob Sanders. Yeah, no, he was early in the list. Classic. Very cathartic. Yeah. Adam Archuleta? Not a good safety, though. No, but a great name and a name. He had a run. A name alone sounds like he should be better. Adam was a good safety for a few years. Did someone say Brock Marion?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Listen, I'm struggling with memory as I get older. This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugats. Every time I see Rob Palenka, I'm shocked it's not Rob Lowe. Still. No, Lowe is age better.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Why hasn't Palenka's hair changed? What's going on there? And also, I saw a great photo of Jon Hamm next to Rob Lowe. No one enjoyed Bourbon Street more than Jon Hamm.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
To be fair to Nico Harrison, who could have possibly seen Anthony Davis getting hurt?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
They tried to tell us we weren't watching the game closely enough, Stu.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Hey, Super Bowls. Enough with the Roman numerals. I mean, seriously.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Just give me a 60. 59, whatever. Enough. I'm tired of trying to figure this out. Do you know Pablo can't count Roman numerals?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
DeMar Hamlin should win Comeback Player of the Year every year he plays. Joe Burrow came back from a wrist injury. DeMar Hamlin came back from death.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Every year. Yeah. Everything else pales in comparison, does it not? Yes, pretty much.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
The person who shushes me because they only care about the commercials. I hate you. Enough. The commercials. Hey, tip of the cap to one Yubi Brown. Have we tipped the cap yet? I'm going to tip a cap.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Just one. Fritzie was on my plane to Chicago. It's a lot nicer to me in person than he was on the air. I don't think I didn't notice, Fritzie. Come on, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
He started it. I mean, I just showed up. Supported you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
You know what the Celtics did to the Knicks over the weekend? They reminded them who's who. You saw that one, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
I don't know. Everyone thinks the Celtics are like an unworthy champion. They're ridiculously good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
I didn't mention that, no. Just to my Knicks. I don't know why I'm laughing. It's my Knicks. I mean, it's an odd reaction. I haven't watched a sport in three years, to be honest.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Anthony Davis has been hurt the whole time. Slowly coming back, though. He's still hurt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
So what do you guys think of death threats? Death threats.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Yeah, I wasn't a fan of that. Don't do that. That's a bad look. Don't do that. That's a bad thing. Don't do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
You're not a fan of death threats?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
No. In fact, I'm coming out publicly against them. Are there many fans?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
It's a scary time for him. I think that's legitimate. I mean, there's vile stuff being sent to him. I understand it's an emotional time. You can tell yourself that they should not have traded Luca. I get that. But no, there's...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
I'm going to say it. He's going to say it. I'm going to say it. And Dan, just like that, make no mistake about it. Tom Brady is back. Goat. He said it. He's back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Okay. Eli Manning. Saying he's at peace. Not making it to the Hall of Fame on the first ballot. Liar. Eli Manning. More like I lie Manning.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Odd. Right? Yeah. Weird class.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
And it was a beautiful... I know what you're going to do. You're going to try to give his brother credit for it? No, I'm not. Wait a minute. That's what you're opening the door for.

Yeah, Bama would have beaten the Chiefs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
a quarterback that has a lot of a lot of help that would allow a lot of quarterbacks to be good because that's the kind of help that you need the popular take was in terms of like effectiveness he's the least effective of their skill guys
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Meaning A.J. Brown's a top five receiver. Devontae Smith is a top, I don't know, 20 receiver. How many quarterbacks do you go before you get to Jalen Hurts?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
You're at Jalen Hurts as a tier one quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
We don't understand that part of it. Like, we don't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Sometimes it gets mitigated. Right. You say it's the most obvious part. The line was essentially... They were an underdog by a point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
He's nuts. Brady's record in these Super Bowls in terms of stats a lot better, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
There have been Niners defensive lines where I go into games against the Kansas City Chiefs thinking that that D-line has the advantage. And it doesn't necessarily work out that way. And everybody likes to point to, well, the Denver Broncos, dominant line. Of course they're going to dominate Cam Newton. You don't really know until you see it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
You don't really know how all the pieces, and there's an element of coaching. So shout out to Dick Fangio. We need to speed this up because we've got to get to Dan's racism.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Aaron Rodgers, the rare quarterback that you're just as excited the day you get rid of him as the day you got him. Do we really need another OJ Simpson documentary? The Bronco. The glove. We get it. He did it. If the glove doesn't fit, you should have quit. How about we quit making the documentary? How's that sound?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
It's presently clearer that Tom Brady is the greatest of all time in his sport than it is even Michael Jordan. And that comes down to rings as well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Thank you. in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
You're taking it a little too far. I mean, Mike, it's Michael Jordan. The answer is always Michael Jordan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
I'm going to show you how to do it. Thank you. Thank you very much.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
The gulf between Brady and second best is larger than it is in the NBA.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
And pro Jordan fans will always go on the argument of rings because they do that so often when LeBron can't do that against Tom Brady.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Yeah, what a time to be alive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Well, in my personal record book, Jordan has eight rings, of course, 2gatsbook.com, because he took the two years off. Olajuwon won two that he never would have won. Olajuwon doesn't have any. Kenny Smith never makes it to TNT. I mean, how about that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
I think if you went golf, you would go with Jack, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Golf. The golf in golf is also smaller than it is in the NFL. Golf of America. I shouted through the plane.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
He should have called it the Gulf of America, too, while he was at it. It would have been more on brand.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Again, coming up soon, Dan's racism. Andy Reid. Do it with Jalen Hurts. How's that blockbuster Anthony Davis-Luka Doncic trade going? The big nothing trade. Seriously, you guys made the biggest deal out of this trade. Nothing burger. And just like that, Dan, Nick Sirianni is a leader of men.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
I tried to tell everybody something was just a little bit off in Kansas City. I wasn't wrong. Just early. Unfortunately for all of us, Nick Sirianni undressed Andy Reid. You know what Kansas City was doing all season, Dan?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
They were playing with fire.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
I mean, he did. You thought that was an out-coaching situation? Oh, absolutely, yes. Are you kidding me? They built that team to beat Kansas City, and they beat Kansas City.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
I mean, Sirianni gets the credit, does he not? He's a leader of men now. I can't think of a single coaching decision he made in that game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Yep. Dan, you know what happens when you are constantly playing with fire? You get burnt. Eventually, you do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Alex Smith wins that game.

Jason Sehorne walked so Cooper DeGene could run. Cooper DeGene. Sneaky athletic. Sneaky? He's sneaky. He's sneaky.

Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Jalen Hurts. Welcome to tier one. No. Oh, yeah. He's there. No. No, he's there. He's tier one. I mean, for now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Outplayed him. Yeah. Tier one. In honor of the Super Bowl in New Orleans, top five famous people, if they were born after something, that New Orleans is known for. O-L-I. Edgar Allen Poboy.

Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
The Empire State Building should be embarrassed. For putting green Eagles colors on its building. That building has no spine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
You can't do that, Dan. It's the one color you cannot throw on the Empire State Building. You can't do it. There's actually two colors. There's Boston green, and then there's Philadelphia green, and I imagine Boston blue, red, whatever the Red Sox are. You just can't. You don't celebrate certain teams in New York.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Philadelphia, Boston, you can never put their colors on the Empire State Building. Unless something tragic happens. That's it. but not in celebration. Boston Marathon, I understood, you know?

All it took for Makai Becton to reach his potential was getting as far away from the Jets organization as possible. I hate them. To whoever decided to change the Fox score bug, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. That's all I'm saying. Brady was great. He was good. No? No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
But he's back, right? No. Well, he is. Nobody loves helping facilitate a three-team trade quite like the Utah Jazz. They're always in there. The third team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Jimmy Butler. Instant dividends. You see that game? Wow. Down 20 to Chicago. Some say too much ego in that locker room. I say not enough.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Dan Lebitorn. Taking Super Bowl week off so he can instead hold a self-centered sit-down with Dan Patrick. Dan, the Stugatz is strong in you. I enjoyed that. I got to be honest with you. I really did. I thought you did a great job. I thought Dan Patrick was very unfair to you afterwards. I did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
I'm just saying that you're probing through his life and making him talk about stuff he didn't want to talk about. What did he think you were going to do? That's what you do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
That's a legendary spot. I mean, Dan Mike, though, that's a legendary spot.

Nothing is less believable than the guy who says he isn't contagious. I might be looking at you, Billy. Are you sick? Starting to feel it. Sniffles. Little sniffles. Rope. The shovel pass isn't as cute when you were down by 34. Such a good point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations
Yep. The S in Super Bowl stands for snooze fest. The B in Super Bowl stands for Brady. Joe Shane should get a ring. Congratulations to the entire Chiefs team because somehow Drake was still the biggest loser from the Super Bowl. You can't spell MVP without the V in Vic Fangio. Fangs. What a game by Fangs. Game of his life, huh?

Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
It really is incredible. These things move really quickly in the Trump world. I think in a vacuum, I'm not a huge fan of tariffs either. Tariffs are a tax, and they do tend to do some economic damage. They raise prices. Donald Trump talked about that very specifically and said we could be seeing some short-term harm from this, but long-term, he thinks it's going to be worth it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
What I think is kind of fascinating about the way everyone's reacted over this particular round of tariffs is we're all kind of acting like we weren't here for the first term. The first term, a lot of this was talked about as well. Some of it went into place. Some of it was more targeted than initially proposed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And some of it wound up just being what most of, I think, these threats are from Donald Trump, which are negotiating tactics. We all know how Donald Trump operates. And he puts something like this out there, a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico. And within two days, he's already got a giant chunk of what he wanted to get done and a month delay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And the month delay in these tariffs indicates he wants more. He hasn't had everything that he wants yet, but he's giving them a little bit of time to come across those lines so that these things don't have to go into place. And he is just able to do this in a way. that I think is central to his overall philosophy, that we don't need to apologize for being Americans.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
We don't need to apologize for being a global superpower. You saw this with Panama, your great interview with Rick just a few minutes ago. The Panama Canal is in the hands of Panama because we all kind of felt bad. The Carter administration was like, oh, we don't want to be colonialists. You guys can have this incredibly valuable thing that we built with our blood and treasure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
You can just have it. And Donald Trump is turning that around and saying, we don't need to apologize for being Americans. We're going to be aggressive. We're going to stand for what we actually believe in and try to turn around these agreements that we have with these other countries that are not beneficial to us. America first kind of playing out in real time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Yeah, it is working. You know, often, you know, when I talk to my daughter about cleaning her room, I will tell her, I don't expect you to be perfect. I just want you to care. I want you to actually care. That's all I'm asking. And I feel like that's all we're asking of like a Mexico. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
You don't we understand that you're not going to be able to stop every single person coming across the border. We have to have security on our side for that reason. Right. But you have to actually care. You can't be encouraging people. You can't be telling people that, you know, go to the border and please send back all the money to our country.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
You can't be letting people from your southern border traverse through your entire nation without stopping them as they go to our border. That's a basic ask. And that's why, you know, look, tariffs as an economic policy, definitely not my favorite thing. But it is, everyone knows that, right? We know that it kind of can do some damage to both sides.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
What our argument is, as the big boys on the block, is to say that, look, we know that the damage that it will do to you is a lot worse than it's going to do to us. So we will sit here and we will wait you out if we have to. We'd like to get to a place, and Trump has talked about this in the past, we'd love to get to a place where there was none of this stuff. There were no tariffs at all.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Everyone was free trading. Everyone was dealing with each other fairly. We're not there. And I think it's largely because of the stance America has had for seemingly a generation of being sorry for who we are. I listened to your interview with Marco Rubio, Megan, the other day. And at one point you said, you know, these are smaller countries.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
The argument is that we can sure we can bully around Colombia. And Marco Rubio is like, you know, I don't want to call it bullying. It wasn't it's not bullying. I mean, you don't have to call it that. But we are sort of big boying the rest of the world right now. And that's OK. Like. That's a good thing. It's a place we should get back to. We shouldn't be unfair to people.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
We shouldn't be unfair to other countries. We shouldn't just terrorize them for the sake of the pleasure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
But what we should be able to do is stand on our values, prioritize our own citizens and the economy they have to deal with and the safety and crime situation that they have to deal with on a daily basis and say, look, we'll work with you to stop these problems, but you have to care about it a little bit. And right now it doesn't look like you do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Yeah, no, you're not going to hear much about that. And I like Harry Enten, and generally he does some good work, actually, at CNN, as opposed to some others over there. But you look at a poll on tariffs, you're not going to get the entire picture, I don't think. I mean, again, I don't like them. I would be in that 51%, generally speaking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Some targeted tariffs at times have been beneficial, but we do see prices go up. I mean, we raised tariffs on...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
you know washing machines years ago by 25 and the price for washing machines went up 25 and people had to pay more for that um sometimes that can be worth it especially if it's targeted in a way but like i don't even think that's what we're talking about here you know tariffs as a policy are one thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And you can look at that and see what the negative consequences are and some of the positive consequences. Really what it is, though, is negative consequences for both sides and who can kind of withstand the heat that comes from that. But more here is what we're seeing, like the best case scenario is what's happening with Mexico right now. The tariff didn't even go into effect. He just said it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
That was him just saying a thing. And because he said a thing, and people, thank you, Megan, people actually believed him for once. It wasn't an empty threat. People knew he wanted to do this and would do it if he had to. And because of that, we're starting to get the things that we should have already been receiving anyway.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Mexico should have been taking this situation seriously on the border before all of this. And this is a great commercial to everybody who's out there running a foreign nation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Yeah, make free trade free, I think is a great way to go. And this is part of it. And I will say, I only once ordered from one of those companies, a workout shirt. It was like $2.99. And I did not think there was a way to make me look worse in the gym than I already do. It never works out. But that did it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
I sure hope Tom Homan and Donald Trump hear that because that certainly sounded like a challenge to me. You know, I was playing a little game of chicken. And I after watching what this president is doing around the world right now, I don't think I'd want to challenge him to that particular game. Seems like a losing venture.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
You know, I feel like, you know, you mentioned the polls of the American people. And they see this, I think, in the same way. I know that when I drive home every day, if I roll through a freaking stop sign, there just always happens to be a police officer there to remind me that that's not actually allowed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
If I go a few miles an hour over the speed limit, they are there to make sure that I know I'm not following that rule. And yet we're supposed to just accept that. That people cross the border, make a major life decision like that against our laws and set up life here for years and years and decades and have families and generations. They're not following the rules.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
They either have to have some sort of legal ID or fake ID or they're not paying taxes, most likely, certainly other crimes being committed. But like that is something I think the American people see is like, hey, if you're breaking the rules, there should be a consequence to that. We shouldn't be treating you unfairly, but we should be treating you like everybody else gets treated.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
That's how I feel like I'm going to get treated. I mean, unless you're Hunter Biden, it seems like when you commit a crime, you usually have some consequences to it. And so I'm not surprised the American people feel that way. It's only rational to feel that way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And if you're Phil Murphy, if you think that you can stand up and essentially say to the country, screw you, we don't care what you think about our laws. This is a law I don't like. And so therefore I will break it and I will be so out there. I will tell you about it on television and expect nothing to happen to me. That is not a society that has a civilized rule of law.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Well, it's hard to find the right people when you've created a totally new type of person that you have to somehow fit into your quota. It's got to be difficult. I could see the challenge there. Totally. I have two reactions to this. One is I put on my American hat and I look at this and I think this is very disconcerting and terrible because it would be great if we had –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
An opposition that may very well get back into power someday that had some level of sanity, that maybe they saw how things went over this past election and reacted to it and said, hey, maybe we shouldn't go down these roads anymore. It would be great that if we lost an election, the other side wasn't so crazy as to throw us this far off track every time they win.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
The other part of me just really wants conservative candidates to win. And my eyes light up when I see stuff like this. They've learned absolutely nothing. They are just as ridiculous and terrible with this stuff as they were before they got slaughtered in this election. You'd think a moment like that would make you have a bit of self-reflection, Megan, but apparently not.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
It's a puzzle that they can't put together. I mean, they really don't know how even to attack it. Again, maybe if you had that real moment of self-reflection, you might be able to find a path.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
But if you think about the incentives of not only activist politics, but also the internet, it's really hard for a party that has kind of crazy views and goes to the American people and says these crazy views and locks you in with that sort of maniacal purity test that they've been putting people on over the years. How do you unwind that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
You know, I mean, look at, you know, look at someone like John Fetterman, who, again, is a Democrat who says Democratic things in both Democratic ways 90 percent of the time, but just occasionally comes out with something that I would call rational. He's treated as a villain for that. They've excised every pro-life Democrat from the party. They're all gone at this point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And they have so many different problems here. It's not just DEI and it's not just all the things that we've been talking about here. I mean, you mentioned Phil Murphy. Go back to Phil Murphy's performance during COVID. I mean, he is one of the only guys that could challenge Andrew Cuomo for the level of incompetence. And what do they do with these people? They reward them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Andrew Cuomo is probably going to be the next mayor of New York City. So they don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Oh, you can keep going on that strain forever if it's up to me, Megan. It deserves to be said. He was he terrorized the entire state during this period and went on TV and acted. Yeah, he is legitimately a villain. And I will say to less attention because I think of generally Cuomo being such an arrogant jerk on top of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
less attention went to phil murphy but he did many of the same things during that period he got almost no heat for it but like he did get some attention from the voters of of new jersey who made his re-election a lot closer we're seeing elections in new jersey get much much closer we went through a period i mean my entire life analyzing politics and i have to do like you know i
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
You'd have to call the states and do all the political predictions over here at The Blaze. And as I go through that process, my entire life, there was always one poll in New Jersey that showed it kind of close and gave Republicans a little hope. And then when election day would come, you'd, of course, have your hopes and dreams thwarted.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
I think for the first time, New Jersey is in play. You mentioned what Scott Pressler is doing. This stuff is actually happening now. And the American people are sick of what they've been getting. And if the Democrats don't wake up, they will turn into a party that's just completely irrelevant in a lot of places in this country.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And frankly, I think that's a good outcome for the future of the nation. But it is one they really have to face right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Yeah, no, it's very true. I think they are. Now, I hesitate to be too confident here, right? Things do change. I think the Democrats felt like this back probably in 2008 after Barack Obama. I remember people writing books saying Republicans would only be a regional party from here on out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And things change quickly. The next election was the Tea Party election. So it does change quickly. And you got to be really, really careful. But like when I look at that, you know, the New York Magazine cover you mentioned, obviously they cropped out all the black people to make it look like it was an all white audience. But when you look at that whole picture.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
That's an inspiring picture of our future. It is. I mean, you're right. It was like a bunch of good looking younger people who were like inspiring, engaged in politics, cared about, you know, relationships in a traditional sense. You know, when when when you become the uncool party, it's really hard to shake that. We saw that back in the 80s, but like the just say no thing when it came to drugs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Look, the right message, obviously, you shouldn't do drugs. But, you know, it was just seen as uncool. And for a long time, Democrats took advantage of that, showing Republicans as the uncool party. And over time, they turned to this party that was like, you know, just say no to the guy making the funny joke.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Just say no to the guy who says follow the law or who says that you can notice things like women playing against men in their sporting events. They turn into a bunch of Karens, right? They're like constantly policing our lives. It's Margaret now. It's been changed. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Is that another one I have to change?

I watched exactly 0% of the Grammys, though I did see some pictures and some revealing photos in one sense. But yes, I did check in on it a little bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Yeah, I mean, just absolutely embarrassing. I do have the same dress and it was my alternative choice for this interview. I'm glad I didn't wear it. But, you know, it is just like it's the devaluing of it. Right. Like it's just like if this is all you are, then what are you? Right. And and it is a sort of kind of revolting thing. sort of statement about America.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And Kanye West has spent, I don't know, he's been all over the board, but at one point he was singing religious songs. So I don't know what's happening with that. And I was also concerned about the cushions on the chairs inside the venue, because if you're not wearing clothing, I mean, I just don't think that's sanitary. It just seems like...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
I don't want to have cocktails next to somebody dressed like that. I feel like, you know, just spray everything down after if you're in the Grammys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
I think maybe as a conservative and someone who can appreciate some of the things Donald Trump does as president, we saw Kanye West put on a red hat for like two weeks and we lost track of the point that he's just completely insane. He was insane when he was saying George Bush doesn't like black people. He was insane when he went to the Donald Trump side.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
He might have made a point or two that he liked, but he was insane. He was insane when he ran for president against Donald Trump. He was insane when he started hanging out with Nick Fuentes and becoming an anti-Semite. And he's insane now. That is the really simple summary, I think, of everything with Kanye West. None of this makes any sense because he... is insane. He's a crazy person.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
And like, this is not a clinical diagnosis.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
I mean, it's fascinating. She said diverse voices or different voices from different backgrounds are important. Well, sure. I mean, we don't want the same person singing all the songs. We don't want everyone. I mean, you do get a different perspective. That's got nothing to do with skin color. No one's saying that we shouldn't have different people from different backgrounds.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
It's this maniacal focus on immutable characteristics that are the problem. And especially when you're promoting people who are less qualified, who knows what went on exactly, of course, with the air crashes and stuff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
But we do know that that stuff is a serious problem inside the FAA and an uncountable amount of government agencies that are doing important things that are supposed to help Americans. If you're focused on that, you're not focused on finding the best person. You're not focused on finding the best singer. You're not focused on finding the best lyricist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
You're focusing on genitals or skin color or whose genitals you like the best or whatever. whatever intersectional value we're supposed to be caring about this week. When you're caring about that, you're not caring about merit. I thought that was great. You know, Pete Hegg said that in his term. I know Marco Rubio has spoken about it. All these appointees from Trump are talking about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)

I mean, it's funny because they praise DEI so much, Megan, but if DEI hits their industry, a lot of boring white guys like me are going to be winning hip hop awards. And I don't think that's what they want. I'm concerned about the way they look at this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Yes. Don't look at the red carpet. Take your kids away. It's funny, too, with Lady Gaga, you mentioned trans people are invisible. This terminology is so strange. Like, if anything, I feel like trans people are the most visible. Every time they walk down the street, I can tell immediately. Too visible. Way too visible. I want to know less. I want to see less. I want to know less.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Please don't wear Kanye's wife's dress anywhere. But this is – it's just like this standard stuff that I feel like – look, these are not the smartest people among us. I mean I'm not sitting here thinking that they're all necessarily going into deep thought about what they're saying. A lot of them just – They've got a vibe that DEI is good to them, so they're going to say it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
But you'd think there'd be some thought after all of this has happened, right? You had this supposed mandate in 2020, which has gone away. The culture is moving in the opposite direction. The people who are, I think, standing out right now are the people pushing back against this old guard, which encompasses DEI and so many other things. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
It's great to be fair to everybody, but like just on the merits, Beyonce should not, you know, I just, I don't think enough of her music to believe that she could possibly have more, more awards than all of those people. I think you just mentioned combined.

That is something that would interest New York, certainly getting LeBron James. By the way, Mike, it was four first-round picks for Bridges. So, listen, you have every right to question what it is the Mavericks did in not getting enough for Luka. You do. You have every right to question that when you consider that four first-round picks were given to get Mikael Bridges.

because he's chasing jordan we all know he's chasing jordan if he goes to that franchise and wins them their first nba title he's a big reason he's a big part as to the why i'm telling you that would get me a lot closer to telling you what that lebron it would get me closer what these are a bunch of big ifs dan it would get me it would get me there but it would get me closer it doesn't mean anything one and a half

But Dan is talking about what these two guys at the end of their career have to be willing to do. You're not going to bring the right pieces in around LeBron. The Lakers aren't winning with LeBron. They're not. So where can LeBron go to win another championship or two? The Knicks would be a good place.

I'm wondering what is a GM's responsibility to an organization in terms of how far to look ahead? I want to play a clip here of Nico Harrison at the press conference talking about timeline. And he's basically just like 10 years from now. I'm not worried about that. I might not be here. I'm worried about three or four years. Let's play this clip here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Age of the Curmudgeon
Jason Kidd looks so awkward the entire press conference. What is it? Is he right there? Is it okay for a GM to just be like, I'm thinking four years ahead and that's it because I might not be here after that.

He literally, Jason Kidd looks down and shakes his head when he's saying, we won't be here.

The better way of saying it is, for now. He's playing now, for now. For now, he is playing. But shortly, he will not be playing. But we're not alone.

I mean, it's a team that's 28-19 in the Lakers. It's a team in Dallas that's not actually a little bit worse. They're 26-24, whatever, on the outside looking in, in terms of the playoffs. This is a nothing trade. It's big names. I understand why it's news. It's a nothing trade. The Lakers are not winning an NBA title anytime soon. The Mavericks are not winning an NBA title anytime soon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Age of the Curmudgeon
In fact, I would tell you the bigger trade made yesterday in the NBA was the one that got the Spurs to Aaron Fox. You want to know why? That team might win all the championships soon.

The Big Suey: The Age of the Curmudgeon
I've been doing it my entire life.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Age of the Curmudgeon
This is not a trade that lands you Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. This is not getting Moses Malone if you're Dr. J in the Sixers, the missing piece, and then they went foe, foe, foe, foe. This is not that. This is a trade with two middling teams and two superstars who barely play.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Age of the Curmudgeon
That's why it's a big trade. It's a big trade. Nothing.

sure uh by the way it's faux faux faux not faux faux faux faux like stu guys said there was only three foes back then they didn't say dinner which night it's also being reported that rich paul knew 48 hours before so we're like if we're believing so he just didn't well but so so that one's interesting right like good god this is funny and wild okay i don't believe it whatsoever i mean come on guys got out there with the report that lebron didn't know too so i mean
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Age of the Curmudgeon
He has to not know. In sports history, has anyone ever acted more surprised than LeBron James?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Age of the Curmudgeon
Yeah. After I talked to my wife about the trade, I realized it's a nothing trade. What am I talking to her about it for? I'm talking to her about nothing. We have to have better things to talk about, me and my wife, than Luka Doncic.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Age of the Curmudgeon
I said, watch out. I said, the Spurs are the team. I said, over the next 10 years, if I had to bet who's going to win the most titles, I'd go San Antonio. My wife agreed. Any opinions on JT Miller to the Rangers? I don't know who that is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Age of the Curmudgeon
You know, that's where, I'll tell you what, when you go to Sacramento, that's where your career dies. I'm serious. Zach Levine, if he thought it was bad in Chicago, wait until he gets to Sacramento. Ask Harrison Barnes. And now De'Aaron Fox has more life. Harrison Barnes on San Antonio, though. I mean, he's going to win a bunch of titles coming up here. Seriously. That's a good team, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I mean, I didn't know I needed it. But apparently this week it's been a thing with Jessie, our lovely makeup artist. She told us that, hey guys, the elbows, not great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Whose Shoes Are Whose?
Where's my laptop? It's always an occupation. It's like wrestlers in the early 90s, late 80s.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Whose Shoes Are Whose?
It wasn't clear. You announced it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Whose Shoes Are Whose?
Parham the interruption. The dishes have to be done.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Whose Shoes Are Whose?
There ain't going to be no rematch.

This episode of the Dan Lopetar Show with Stu Gatz is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.

The Big Suey: Whose Shoes Are Whose?
I'm glad you said don't look now. Hold on. I'm glad you said don't look now. Go ahead, Roy. All right, don't look now. It's presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one... Vodka, please drink responsibly. Tony? Absolutely is the world's number one vodka.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
as you can tell... You were doing it for him, huh?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
So it's interesting because I remember for the first time we really had to change our approach to programming, to content, to how we were going to do the show. Because even when we were on in afternoons at ESPN and ESPN Radio, they told us, Miami, focus on Miami. Do Miami. It's the biggest market you're on. Go Miami. And that was easy for us. That was an easy transition.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
This was a difficult transition because I remember you and I having discussion saying, how are we going to cater to New York and L.A.?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
But the last book before they took us off ESPN Radio in New York, Dan and I, we had cracked the top ten. Yeah. And then they yanked us off that station.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Yeah, but I wanted Dan to focus on what Dan wanted to focus on and not be thinking about any market in particular.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
It was such a great time for our show. It was such a big playground, a wide playground. I remember that because we're not doing afternoons now. We are in the middle of ESPN's day, both on radio and on television. We're dictating conversations that are happening on other shows that are airing after hours.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
And I was so thrilled because to be the show that is anti-establishment and be firmly entrenched deep inside the establishment... was such a cool playground for us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Stop it. You're going to be doing lives for him soon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
There was some great content during the breaks. Dan would never participate. He wouldn't say a word. He would just hop and watch. But he would sit there and he would write things down. And so sometimes I was doing it so Dan could hear me so he knew to bring it on the air because he knows, for the most part, I don't really care what we talk about here on the air. We were doing a show for Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
We were trying to bring our topics, you and I, Mike, to life by talking about them in a weird way during.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Just to give the audience an idea and take them really deep inside. I mean, there are times I'm certain Dan walked in there and he had a list of things that he was thinking of talking about or had a list in his head and was going to start the show a certain way. And I can't tell you the amount of times until this day, even where I will say something to Dan right before the microphones go on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
And whatever he had planned, he changes it. And that's where he starts. He starts right there and he hopes it's going to turn out great. And most of the times it did. And sometimes it didn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Dan and I were still using at that time Instant Messenger on AOL. You were?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Yes, many times.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Donald, do me a favor. Break news right here on this show on ESPN Radio. Don't wait till June. Are you running for office? Are you running for president?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
No. Stu Gatz. He cost them the game last night. Although they won the game. But had they lost, I'm telling you, it would have been on LaMarcus Aldridge. 20 mediocre years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I remember how great it felt because I knew and I've always known that I'm sitting next to this pillar of journalism who's going to handle topics like this better than anyone in our industry. So my strategy and the way I prepared for that topic was probably way different than how Dan was preparing for that topic. I was confident. I knew the guy who drove the show. He's got it. He's got it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
He's got good opinions. They're going to be great. You're not going to hear this from anyone else. My job has always been in those situations to think about how am I going to get us out of whatever it is he's going to start and make it fun and make it funny.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I love the entire industry is sprinting away from microphones and Dan is running into the studio.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I remember that feeling so dangerous, but I would just say, hey, I'm just following Dan's lead. I mean, he asked me a question.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Does that shopping cart make it to the Hall of Fame?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Well, he starts getting criticized a bit. Yeah, of course.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
But I think this is perfect in terms of how different me and Dan are because his approach was measured. It was from experience. It was from talking to people. I just got on the air that day because I was upset and I'm like, who cares? So Dan is measured, educated. He's given it to you, nuanced, all this stuff. He has the experience, right? He's been waiting for this show his entire life.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
And all I was doing was blasting everyone who has ever stood for a national anthem or not stood. And they've been farting, burping, putting in beds, talking to their kids, not paying attention to the actual national anthem, which you find at every stadium every Sunday in the NFL.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Yeah, but Skipper knew all that, right? You didn't feel that protection at all?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Yeah. That's fair, but I felt it. I knew. I saw their relationship. I mean, we went up to Bristol. I could tell how much John liked it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I do, Donald. I do. Is Goodell a friend?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Give us the coolest person you've played golf with.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
But Mike, explain that to the audience, because we used to put the podcast out after we were done with the afternoon show. So they were getting it at 7 o'clock, 7.30, 8 o'clock at night. You're saying putting that episode out, the podcast episode at 1.30 was a big advantage for us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
It is Wake and Take here on 790 The Tickets. I have thoughts. I have opinions. I have notes. It is your job to get them out of me. I can open up the microphone. I can share those thoughts, opinions, notes with you, but that's not how we do it here on Wake and Take. You do the work. If I did that, I'd be lazy. And by extension, I'd make you lazy because then you wouldn't have to do any work.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
So you do the work, you ask the right questions, and perhaps you will get those thoughts, those opinions, those notes out of me. But first, we interview Greg Cody. All right. I'm a bad quote, I got to tell you. You were clicks for Cody. I retweeted your column yesterday from the Herald. Thank you. You were at a dolphin training camp.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
And Mike Ryan, Roy, Guillermo, Chris, they were all out there as well. What are you seeing out there that maybe excites you, maybe gives some Dolphin fans some excitement headed into the season here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
This is Wake and Take. I am interviewing Greg Cody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Oh, hell out of here. Wow. Geez. I mean, seriously. You're lucky I didn't fine you $2.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I mean, get out of my zone, will you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
We nullified the two-minute period. So anyway, more positive news.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
That works in Waking Take.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Right. Now, you know, listen, we start Waking Take. I interview someone, and today it could have been you, but I decided to interview Greg Cody. So when I'm doing that, just let the man make his points. That's all we're saying. Let's go to Ken on line two. Ken, you are on Waking Take here on 790 The Ticket.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
That was a great question. Rashom. Can I do two of each? Oh, that's very, yes. You want to spread out the four inches?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I want to be 5'11".
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
You can only choose one, though. What are you doing there, Craig? I wouldn't choose either, to be honest.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I could use four of each. So you don't need four inches of height. Correct. I mean, so, I mean. My process of elimination. Right. We know where you're putting your four inches.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
And you revealed your hand, by the way. Oh, I don't care. We reveal these sausage hands every day. I mean, everyone knows. Anyway. Do we have other callers, Mike? Oh, they don't trust me?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I cannot believe. No, well, they don't think I'm going to take their calls because I never do. I don't trust you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
No, he's an embarrassment, man. I'm telling you, Greg Popovich is going to get rid of that guy in the offseason. He was an embarrassment last night. He is so out of shape. There are so many times where the Rockets were playing five on four on offense because LaMarcus Aldridge was walking back on defense. He's bad. He's not a good player.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I don't know what happened to him because when he was in Portland, he was fantastic. He is not good, Dan. He cost them the game last night. Although they won the game. But had they lost, I'm telling you, it would have been on LaMarcus Aldridge. And the only reason it's not is because they won the game. Otherwise, San Antonio would be crushing it today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
And I'm still going to crush them even though they won. So we're in the semifinals of this tournament. And we're playing a team called Orange Crush. And listen, congratulations on the victory, but I'm telling you, we're better than you. All right? Orange Crush. So next time we play you, be prepared because we're going to beat you by 10 goals. And it's a very close game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Back and forth, one goal differential. And the referee is just making bad call after bad call. It's a running clock, Dan. They're 22-minute halves. She had to go to her rule book while the clock was running in a one-goal game to make sure a call that she made was the correct call. And that set me off. I start getting mad at her. I start yelling at her a little bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
But in my defense, Dan, game was over. I accepted defeat. Hands have been shook and we are going our separate ways. And the referee, who is just tiny, and she drags me back into it. I am going to talk to my team. She's walking off to referee her next game. She calls me back over to her and she says, what's your overall problem with me? And I said, I don't have an overall problem with you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
My overall problem is with the officiating down here in general. You are paid to know the rules and you don't know the rules. And she goes, well, what makes you think I don't know the rules? I said, you went to look at a rule book during a running clock game to see if the call you made was correct or incorrect. To me, that's not knowing the rules do a better job.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
She said, you have this problem with all the refs? I said, listen, do me a favor. I'm upset. My team just lost. Why are we still talking? Why are you talking to me? I was walking my way. You were walking your way. She said, as long as we're standing on this grass, on this field, in this park, you're in my domain. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. I said, really, I'm in your domain? It's a public park.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I have every right to be here. I'm not in your domain. If anything, I live around here and I'm paying property taxes. You're in my domain. That's what I said to her. And then I said, that Napoleon thing you got going on is not a good look.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Yep. You're a jerk.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Yeah, that was stupid, too. You've said that a number of times. So anytime you discuss Kaepernick moving forward, you have to address that, even though that's not the thing being discussed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Greg, to your point, I would say he did it during an even more difficult time. He was trying to get a starting job back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
But to say it publicly would be important, I think. I think it would, but privately would be... I understand what you're saying. Say it publicly, support Colin Kaepernick. Privately, getting him a job is really what matters, right? So if he tells the owners, hey guys, what's going on here? Are you guys telling me he's not one of the 32 best quarterbacks in the world?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Does the backup role matter to you? Meaning you'll deal with it as a, you know, the guy could be a starter for you, but as a backup, maybe you just don't want to deal with the headaches that come with it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Right. Well, then if, because you can say the same thing about the Buccaneers who signed Ryan Fitzpatrick to be their backup. It's absurd.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
how about the Cowboys because Romo's gone Prescott you have no idea how good he is and what if Prescott's not good yeah yeah why not in Texas yes in Texas yep Jerry Jones man show some guts seriously stand up and say what's going on here is not right and I have no idea if Dak Prescott's gonna be any good he was good last year I have no idea if that's gonna carry over and in the event that he gets hurt I don't have to go to Kellen Moore I can go to Colin Kaepernick how about that be a leader
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
But we've always followed Mike Ryan because he's younger, because he cares about us, because he knows the industry. Like, you're right. You and I just wanted to speak into a microphone and do radio. I had no idea that people wanted to listen on their own time.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
You're showing off. What if I told you that I could save you hours of your life that you'll never get back? That OJ Simpson was a great college athlete. That he got married young to his first wife, Marguerite. That he had an affair with a white woman named Nicole. That he divorced his wife and married said white woman. That there were lots of racial issues at the time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
That white people embraced OJ. That OJ played some football, then retired. That Nicole filed for divorce. That OJ killed Nicole and a waiter, allegedly. Why am I saying allegedly? He absolutely killed both of them. Anyways, moving on. That he hired a bunch of fancy lawyers who used the racial issues of the time to his advantage. That Chris Darden and Marsha Clark were dopes. That OJ got off
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Okay. You're an angel, I must tell you. All right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Hey, Ryan. How you doing? I'm good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I'm doing well. Thanks for asking. I'd like to make a reservation with you guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
No, I'm actually looking. I'm flying up. Your place is very important. It's a very important and historical place in my mom's life. She was engaged there, and I'd like to take her there for Mother's Day. I'm thinking like noon, prime time, baby.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Um, so for mother and how many people, uh, it would be, uh, six people if possible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Yeah, you know, I was hoping that perhaps we wouldn't go the waiting list route. It's really important. Again, my mom got engaged there. They eat there all the time. They love it there. My family loves it there. We've been there a million times. So I'm hoping that you can help me out. You don't have six? Is that the problem?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I mean, there's no comfortable way for me to do this, Ryan, so I'll just do it. I'm a host at ESPN. I host a national show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Yeah, and I also host a show in New York, ESPN Radio in New York, Saturdays with Stugatz. So if you could take care of me, I'll take care of you. And by taking care of you, I'll promote you out to, like, you know, 20 million people. I think you guys probably, you know. What is your name, sir? My name is Stu Gatz. S-T-U-G-O-T-Z.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, I do the show with Levitard, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
But how about taking care of Mama Gatz here? What can we do for Mama Gatz? Let's see. I'm telling you, man, I'm going to promote you guys out everywhere, okay?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I got hundreds of thousands of people following me on Twitter. We got millions of listeners, and I'm shameless, and I have no issue, no issue promoting you guys out. In fact, if you want to give me a free meal, that'd be even better.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
You got a pen handy? Yeah. Okay. It's 1-800-GET-ME-IN-THAT-DAMN-BUILDING. You need the numbers on that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I just gave it to you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
1-800-CONFIRMED is my number. Okay. All right. So six people. I might have to make it eight. I'm just telling you now. I'm not certain yet. I will let you know. But it feels like we're on to something here. It feels like, Brian, it feels like I'm going to see you at noon at the Rainbow Room this Sunday for Mother's Day. What are you doing with mom this Mother's Day?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Yeah, well, 1-800-Flowers, use the promo code DAN. Yeah. You'll get a great deal. I'll help you out, okay? I'll help you out with 1-800-Flowers. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. Yeah, definitely. All right, so I'll see you Sunday at noon at, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Oh, I thought we did that. 1-800-CONFIRMED. All right, I'll give you my number. It's 954. Okay. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Do me a favor, okay? I appreciate it. Don't use that number. Don't give it to anyone, okay? I'm a big-time celebrity. I don't want your friends getting excited. Listen, man, I give that number out. I've got to trust that you're not going to give it to anyone.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
All right. So you're going to call me back?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Ryan, you were awesome, dude. I appreciate it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Eating House? Yeah, how you doing? Hi, how are you? I'm doing well, thanks. I was hoping I could make a reservation with you guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I'm looking at April 20th, a table of eight at eight o'clock. Prime time, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
No, no, no. I don't want to do a waiting list. I mean, listen, I don't know. Like, there's no comfortable way for me to do this, so I'll just do it. Like, you know, I don't know. Do you listen to sports radio at all?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
This is Stugatz, man. What's up, Stugatz? How are you, buddy? Good, bro. I mean, I don't know. Listen, I appreciate you listening. I'm glad you knew who I was. I don't know if you can help me out in this regard, though. I'll promote you guys all I can, but if I can get this table for eight at eight, that'd be awesome on 420.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I mean, I just feel like, I don't know, like the people who have the reservations right now, can they promote you out to a national audience, to millions of people? Because I don't think they can. I know I can.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
That's what I want to know. Who are these people?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Waiting for a year?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I think I'm going to need to speak to the owner, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Oh, you're the owner?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
What if Lepotard called? I bet you if Lepotard called, you would let Lepotard in, right? You would let Lepotard in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I'm guessing if Lepotard called right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Well, it just so happens that Mike got a reservation on 420, and I can't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Maybe you should kick Mike out and replace him with me. How do you feel about that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I'll deal with Mike. Just put me down, okay? I'll deal with Mike. Now, what size party was Mike's? Mike was a two-top.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I think that sounds great for the people that you're going to kick out of the restaurant to accommodate the eight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
So I think you should offer that. I think you should go back in the reservations and maybe call some people and say, hey, listen, we've had you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
No, I wouldn't even say Stugatz is wanting to come. This is how you do it, okay? I would say that, listen, man, we're overbooked. I apologize. We're overbooked. We will make it up to you. We will guarantee you next year, 420, we will guarantee you a table for whatever at 8 o'clock. This year, though, I have to put you outside, picnic, you know, the whole deal. I think that's the way you do it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Don't tell them it's for me. Just say you're overbooked.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
All right, well, sounds good. So I'll see you at 420, 8 o'clock.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
All right, well, this is the confirmation. I'm telling you, it's 8 o'clock, 8 people, 420. Confirmed? Good. See you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Are you saying that I'm faking it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
And you did a great job by not showing your hand because I knew it was going on. I'm not certain Dan did, but I knew what you were dealing with. You weren't just a radio producer anymore. You were dealing with a TV staff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
All right. So this is interesting. Of the four underdogs playing this weekend, SMU, Tennessee, Clemson, Indiana, which team do you think has the best chance of springing the upset?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
So it's interesting. Do you think any of the eight teams playing this weekend can actually win the national championship? Yes. You do think so? Okay, go ahead. Who?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
With good drinks and good folks, Smirnoff is the world's number one vodka and is an official vodka partner of the NFL. And this year, there are more opportunities to watch football and make delicious Smirnoff cocktails than ever before over the holiday season. From Thanksgiving to Black Friday and Christmas, Smirnoff and the NFL are with you every step of the way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Stugatz here. I want to thank the folks over at Smirnoff for being a loyal sponsor to both God Bless Football and the Dan Levitard Show with Stugatz. Smirnoff knows there is no I in football. Football is a we thing, an experience that is best enjoyed together. With good drinks and good folks, Smirnoff is the world's number one vodka and is an official vodka partner of the NFL.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
But I think what college football wants to see eventually, and they think it's going to happen, I'm not so sure, they want to see one of these teams like SMU make a run and play in the national championship game, don't they? And I just can't envision a day where we're going to see that, Bear.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
So if you're running one of these programs under the current construct, you're scheduling easy teams, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
And this year, there are more opportunities to watch football and make delicious Smirnoff cocktails than ever before over the holiday season. From Thanksgiving to Black Friday and Christmas, Smirnoff and the NFL are with you every step of the way. So this holiday season, when you are enjoying the game and your cocktails, please make sure to drink responsibly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
But a bad year to schedule Florida, bad timing to play them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Take a minute, make a plan, never drive impaired.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
And let me tell you how that call is going down right now, okay? You're piping Raven Steelers throughout the house.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
All right. This is very exciting because the bear, we love him. He's great. The audience loves him. And he has decided to be our Santa Paws. He is going to give you 12 beautifully wrapped gifts for the holidays. It is Bears Picks. And by the way, check out his podcast, Bear Bets, wherever you get your podcast. So how are we going to do this? Are you going to sing this?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Do you want us to sing you in? How do you want to do it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
No, it's not. No, it's, it will never get old. It will never get tiring. I'm wondering what we do at five, the fifth day. That's going to be tough for all.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
All right, so that's an official bet right there. That is the first bet of Christmas. That's the first day of Bearmas, yeah. First bet of Christmas, okay. So, all right, Billy, you want to sing them in with me here? On the second day of Christmas, the bear gave to me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
okay wait is it really you can get a bet on that yeah absolutely all right on the seventh bed of christmas the bear gave to me ohio state minus seven and a half versus tennessee i love you on the eighth day of on the eighth bed of i keep saying day on the bed of christmas the bear gave to me
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
On the ninth bed of Christmas, the bear gave to me. I love watching Mikey write these down. Go ahead.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Rip them up, throw them in the garbage. This was delightful. I like this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
I'm upset with myself that I didn't think of it sooner. I'm sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
You also need to go do your own podcast. Yeah, I know. That's coming up. We're getting there. Bear beds. Check it out wherever you get your podcast. Thank you for those 12 beautiful gifts, buddy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
I want to tell you a story. I'm serious here. My wife and my two daughters, they begged me to buy a Peloton. So I bought a Peloton. And then I watched that Peloton sit in my office and stare at me. So you know what I did one day? I looked at it. And so I decided to get off my ass and I jumped on the Peloton because no one else was using it and I paid for it. I mean, so why not?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Then I realized eventually that they bought it for me. And I got to tell you, way more challenging than I could have ever imagined. Peloton coaches are walking the walk. I love the coaches. I do the Grateful Dead one. It's fantastic. They have a sub three hour marathon runner, military trained athlete, a former college basketball player and so many other well-rounded coaches on their team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
All this experience really shows in their classes. which are never short of challenging, especially for me. So I jumped on it that first time. It was challenging, more challenging than I thought. Then I wanted to beat the bike, and so I kept jumping on it, and I absolutely love it. I mean, I'm the only one who uses it, but again, they got it for me. I mean, I had no idea.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
That's a little passive-aggressive, don't you think? Find your push, find your power with Peloton at OnePeloton.com. I love that you're donning the Carolina sweatshirt already.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
God bless football, Billy Gill. God bless football, Mikey A., God bless football, Stugatz. Thank you, Mikey. Happy holidays to everyone in the audience. We have an exciting show coming up. We have an exciting weekend coming up. We have the college football playoff first round coming up. We have the NFL as well. Chris Felica, the bear, going to join us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Mike, can you put us on the phone when Bill Belichick calls you and he starts discussing? How did that process work where Belichick's calling you and saying, Mike, I'm taking the Carolina job. Do you want to come and be my general manager?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
It's interesting. So I'm guessing, Mike, knowing you the way I do, you don't take this job unless you know Bill Belichick's going to be there for a while, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Where'd you leave off on the third book? Like, what are you doing there, Mike?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Do you think, Mike, at all that Bill, does he still have a desire to coach in the NFL at some point?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Mike Lombardi, the new GM at North Carolina, is going to join us. And Chris Sims is going to join us as well. How about Lombardi, GM, North Carolina? I'm expecting a different Mike Lombardi today, Billy. Are you? I am, yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
So it's interesting. So you and Bill have had conversations. Why did you view Carolina as a destination, as a sleeping giant?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Yeah, lacrosse is one of them. How big of an influence was that for Bill? Just the fact that they have that lacrosse program. Petramal is a good friend of his. How big of a factor was that for him?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Mike, it seems, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the two of you are kind of laying down the foundation, the blueprint of what college programs are going to look like moving forward.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Most people who go halfway up Everest are dead. Yeah, right. You're right. They're frozen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Billy, but this is Lombardi and Belichick. They think they're holding up the national championship trophy next year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Mike, I'll tell you this, because Belichick gave a pregame speech to my daughter's lacrosse team at Northwestern. He's very close with the head coach there, Kelly Hiller, and gave a pregame speech. If people are wondering if Belichick can relate to 20, 21, 22, 17, 18-year-olds, that team walked out of that locker room saying that was the coolest 15 minutes they've ever experienced.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Del Boca Vista. Del Boca Vista. You're really excited for this. I'm excited for you, man. This is what you've wanted to do for a long time. If you were going to pry yourself away, if you're going to be pried away for the media, it was only to go do something like this with Bill, I think, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Yeah, no, it is. It is. Are you surprised the NFL? It seems like the NFL two years in a row has kind of and I'm shocked by this because I think he's the greatest coach who has ever lived. But it seems like the NFL has kind of said, hey, Bill, we're done with you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
So, Mike, just as a friend, I want to give you some advice. Like, I don't want you, like, don't kill the basketball program and walk in there and say, oh, we're going to turn it into a football school. Like Michael Jordan. Don't piss him off is what I'm trying to tell you, okay?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
I love the idea of Jordan helping on a recruiting trip. What do you think?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Billy, imagine that, like, you hear what's happening here, okay? You're going to have Belichick, you're going to have Jordan, you're going to have Lawrence Taylor, and you're going to have Mike Lombardi walk into a kid's home. Like, that deal's getting done. I'll take you to Carolina to win the next five national championships. Wow. Next five.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
But, Mike, listen, you're a media savvy guy. You're a media veteran. You know what's going to happen if you lose that first game. I'm going to crush you, okay? Okay, good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
I'll crush you with a smile, though, okay? There you go. Good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
We had a holiday party last night, Mike. We had our holiday. He said, listen, he will take a job that just has benefits and no pay. If he could just stand next to you or Belichick, he doesn't maybe like a researcher, break down some tape, something like that. Walk on onto the Carolina football team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
I'm joking. Mike, I am so happy. I can see how happy you are. You're glowing, man. You're the GM of the North Carolina football program, and Bill Belichick is its head coach. I am so happy for you, man. Congratulations.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
It is time for this week's edition of Studio Gouts presented by DraftKings Sportsbook. Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings, the crown is yours. College football, it's playoff time, 76-66-2 on the regular season. We're only picking playoff games this year. I'm not doing ancillary bowl games. I'm not doing it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
It's gotten me in trouble in years past. I'm not going to do it. Let's get to the playoff games. Notre Dame, minus 7.5. They're at home. They're taking on Indiana. Wow. What a great game. Is it? I have no idea if either of these teams can win a national championship, but I do think Notre Dame is going to win and cover the spread. Buy it down to seven points. Notre Dame wins.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
They cover Notre Dame by 14 points over Indiana. SMU plus eight and a half at Penn State. Weather could be a factor here. Oh, I don't know what that means, but I do like SMU here. Penn State going to win the game. SMU going to cover. Penn State wins by three points and advances in the playoffs. Texas, minus 12, take it on Clemson. Texas wins. They cover Texas by 18 points at home.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Tennessee, plus 7.5 at Ohio State. Ohio State wins. I don't know what to do with that. Buy it up to eight points. Take Tennessee. Ohio State wins. They win by four. Tennessee gets the cover. So Tennessee, Texas, SMU, and Notre Dame. NFL, week 16, five and three a week ago. I am on fire. I'm having a season for the ages. Seriously. I would put my record up against anybody's record in the country.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
How about that? 66-40-2. Let me say that again. 66-40-2. Let's get to the picks. We have the Ravens. Minus 6.5 to take it on the Steelers. The Ravens have to win this game, right? Lamar has to beat the Steelers occasionally, right? Well, it's six and a half. We're going to buy it down to six. We're going to take the Ravens. The Ravens win. They cover Baltimore by 13 points over Pittsburgh.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
The Lions on the road. Bounce back week. Dan Campbell hit a reset button. They're at Chicago. Take it on the Bears who are lousy. They've given up on the entire season. The Lions win. They cover Detroit by 14 points on the road. Falcons minus eight and a half. Michael Penningston. They're taking on the Giants. The Giants are awful.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
The Falcons still have a shot at winning that division and making the playoffs. I'm taking the Falcons here. It's more pick against the Giants than it is for Atlanta. I'm taking the Falcons here by 14 points. They cover over the Giants. The Rams at the Jets. Rams minus three. Buy it down to two and a half. Rams win and they cover. The Rams by 10 points on the road. Vikings minus three at Seattle.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Buy it down to two and a half. Vikings, again, we're not going to give them any credit until they're hoisting, until they're hoisting the Super Bowl trophy. And even after that, we still might not give them credit. Sam Darnold, please. Vikings win and cover. The Vikings by seven points on the road in Seattle. The Bills. It's Josh Allen's time. Yes, it is. They're going to win the Super Bowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
You heard it here first. I'm certain other people have said that, but you heard it here first. Bills minus 14. They're taking on the Patriots by down to 13 and a half. The Bills win and they cover by 21 points at home. Dolphins don't think they're playing for something. The Niners, they're not. Dolphins minus one over the 49ers. Sunday afternoon, Dolphins at 425. The Dolphins are great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Sunday afternoons at 425, they made that up. The Dolphins win and they cover. The Dolphins by 10 points on the road. When you're 66-42, you can make it up. The Bucs minus four at Dallas. Buy it down to three and a half. Take Tampa. The Bucs win and they cover Tampa by 10 points on the road. Those are the picks, everyone. Merry Christmas. Good luck.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
There are two jerseys hanging in Billy's office. What is Tua and what is yours, Chris Sims? I know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
I do love Sims not liking that he's not in the main frame.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
I want to be clear on the accusation you're making. I'm making no accusation. Are the Kelseys being put first because they want the Kelseys to win that award? Is that what they're doing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
No, but sometimes those guys know players are going to get cut, and we dismiss it, and then they get cut. I mean, it happens. Happened to me and Dan one time. A caller called in. He was a bouncer. He said Shaquille O'Neal's getting traded from the Heat to the Phoenix Suns. We dismissed him. Five minutes later, Shaquille O'Neal traded to the Phoenix Suns.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
I am not certain where he was a bouncer, but, you know, the streets talk, Chris. You know that, you know, they do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Yeah. Wait a second. Wait, everyone slowed down. Hold on. I was talking about Busch Gardens. Time out. You told your wife you were going to the strip club.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Do the Kelseys, do they even talk football? I mean, honestly. I don't know. I've never listened to the podcast. I only listen to God Bless Football. That's all you listen to. That's all you need to listen to. Did you say stick it to management that doesn't believe in us?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
How does Chris Sims feel about company holiday parties?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
So you're judging the state of the company by the party.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
And you hate the small talk. There's no way a Sims like small talk.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
It's different than a standard card picture of the family.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Create your narratives. Let's try it this way, okay? Management does not believe in me, in Billy, in Mikey A. They don't support it, okay? They don't want us to win awards, okay? They don't want us really. They don't. I'm being honest. They don't. And I'm telling you right now. I got this message. I don't think Billy got it, but I got it. If we don't win this award, they might cancel the show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
PFT with Mike Florio, the Unbuttoned Podcast, Football Night in America, Sunday Night Football. Chris Sims is with us here on God Bless Football. We have something else we want to discuss with you besides football, outside of football. We'll get to that in a second. I am wondering here, Aaron Rodgers has looked really, really good the last two or three weeks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
But, Chris, here's the problem. And I've said this before. You can't run a team like that. The Jets fans care more about the organization than the owner does. They take it more seriously than the owner does. And that's frustrating as a fan, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
So this holiday season, when you are enjoying the game and your cocktails, please make sure to drink responsibly. Take a minute, make a plan, never drive impaired.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
I was trying to do what you were saying. Oh, sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Are you surprised Belichick took that Carolina job?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Chris, I will tell you this. Now, whether you believe it or not, that's obviously up to you. But Mike Lombardi, who he hired to be the general manager of North Carolina football, which I think is the blueprint moving forward, I think they're laying down the foundation of how college programs are going to look.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Lombardi said he would not have signed the contract if he felt like Belichick was going to leave after a year or two.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
All right. Well, I mean, you don't miss your word, Sims. I love you. Chris, the Lions, are they too banged up, especially on the defensive side? Are they too banged up to win the Super Bowl?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Which dog would you get rid of, though, by the way? I don't have a choice. I don't get to choose. But what if you did have a choice? What if you did? What if you did? What if you did? Come on, Billy. What are your dogs' names?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Yep. What do you do? We'll get to the Eagles here in a minute. What do you do, though, if you're the Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes? Do you arrest him? Do you play him? What do you do there?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Billy, I heard when Sims was talking about his friendship with Mahomes there, the times that they have hung out, spent some time together. I heard that. Best friends. I heard a sound come out of your mouth. What was that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
But if they beat the Niners, they have a 12% chance.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Chris, just quickly here, I want to give you three things that the media is saying and fans are saying down here in South Florida and see if you agree. The first one is Mike McDaniel should be fired. Like, why? What? Three and 12 against teams with winning records, two playoff appearances.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Not at all. All right. The second one, which is, it's a lot louder. There are a lot more people saying this. Chris Greer, the GM, he has to go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
All right, third thing being said is Tariq Hale should be traded.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Before we get to drones, Chris, help me out with this, because the NFC is wide open, okay? This is as wide open as a conference has been in quite some time. So tell me right now, if I tell you one of these teams makes it out of the NFC to the Super Bowl, if you'll be surprised by any of them. Lions, Eagles, Vikings, Packers, Bucks, Rams. Ooh.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
We're going to doubt them all the way until they hoist the trophy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
It's amazing. The aliens have arrived, and no one wants to talk about it. No one's concerned. You're right. I'm with you on that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
It feels, Billy, I don't know. Are you getting the vibe that Sims feels like the drones? There's something going on here, right? Like, that's the vibe I get from Sims. He knows something.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Figure it out. Billy, you weren't listening. The aliens are here. No, I heard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Jeez. I asked you so many Packer questions this week because I think the Packers are winning the Super Bowl. That's why.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
I was doing a thing, Chris. I was with the Gullicks. You're always doing a thing. I kick up in Kansas City. That was his prediction. It's all I do is things. Well said, Mikey. BFD with Mike Florio on Button Podcast, Football Night in America. A Merry Christmas to the Sims family, to Big F***er, to your wife, Danielle, to all the kids. Merry Christmas to you, Chris Sims. We love you. We do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Chris, you got to work Saturday. You can't watch Texas Clemson.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
What do you want? That's not nice. We're going to bring a gift. You need anything?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Got to work. Yeah. What are you expecting to be under your tree on Christmas Eve? I can tell you what I would give him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
I did fill out the roster right before we came on air here. I have Kyla Murray as my quarterback. What's the rest of your roster? Let me check it out. I wanted to ask you guys a question before we get to the bear here, Chris Felica, who's going to give us 12 picks for Christmas, okay? Santa Claus. Santa Claus is going to give us 12 picks for Christmas. Why not? The bear. It's so ridiculous.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Hold on. I'm trying to pull up the line up here. Hold on a second, Billy. I have Kyler Murray. I took Shakir, the Bills receiver. I was trying to trick you. Don't tell people your roster because they'll pick the exact same roster as you. Why would you ever pick my roster?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Wait, was that Mikey A's third thing? Congratulations, Carl Douglas. Was that Mikey A's third thing? My third thing? No, I thought that was all fair.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
I wanted to ask you guys a question. College football playoff is this weekend. NFL is this weekend. Both NFL games are good. The college football playoffs are win or go home. I'm confused by the college football zealots who are upset that they have to compete against the NFL. Who doesn't want more football? I don't understand. You guys don't have a preference, do you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
What I was saying is Browns at Bengals. Bengals minus seven and a half, okay? Bengals are minus seven and a half. They're taking on the Browns. Gabe Buck is so upset right now. Mojo has no idea what's going on. Carl needs to get to work.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Let's minus seven and a half. Carl Douglas, wear that Rams hat. They're hot. No one wants to see them in the playoffs, Carl Douglas. Joe Burrell's hot right now. All right, so you're taking the Bengals minus 7.5 at home against the Cleveland Browns. Joe Burrow is hot. You're right. Any other year on any other team, he'd probably be the MVP. Let's go to Mike Rawless. Rawless, Bengals, minus 7.5.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
They're at home. They're taking on the Browns. Who do you got coming off a 5-0?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Right. Share Bear, are you ordering lunch? What's going on there? Always, always. Who are you taking here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Big Money, baby. I like it. Good boy. Okay, Funko, you take it off. You're two and three here. Bengals, they're hosting the Browns.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
You were two and three. I'm just standing in the back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Mojo, who are you taking here? Bengals at Browns. Bengals, seven and a half point favorite.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
It's the only angle Mojo thinks of. Am I still winning this season? You are. Just keep doing it the way you're doing it, Mojo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
You're fine with all this being mashed together, right, Billy?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
All right, on to the next game, Titans at Colts. Colts are three-and-a-half-point favorites over the Titans. Colts actually need to win this game, I guess, to still have a shot at making the playoffs. We'll go to Mike Rollins off of 5-0. We'll go to him first. Mike, will you take it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
All right, Cole Douglas, who are you taking here? We have the Colts, three-and-a-half-point favorites at home. Take it on the Titans.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
All right. Carl Douglas taking the Colts. ShareBear, who are you taking here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Stugatz here. I want to thank the folks over at Smirnoff for being a loyal sponsor to both God Bless Football and the Dan Levitard Show with Stugatz. Smirnoff knows there is no I in football. Football is a we thing, an experience that is best enjoyed together. With good drinks and good folks, Smirnoff is the world's number one vodka and is an official vodka partner of the NFL.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Well, this is a good game. I mean, we got America's team here. I mean, it doesn't get bigger than this, okay? You have the Bucs and the Cowboys. Bucs need this game. They have to win it. They're taking on America's team in Dallas. The Cowboys are plus four at home. Mike Rollins, who do you take it here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Okay. Okay. I love that you're staying in character. You don't have to. I'll give you a pass for a week if you want, if you want to do it next week because you're hot right now. You're 5-0.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Let's go to ShareBear. ShareBear, who are you taking here? Ooh. I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Selfishly. Got it. Carl Douglas, who are you taking here? Bucs and Cowboys. Cowboys plus four at home.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
The Bear, Chris Felica, is joining us. Billy, a very exciting time. Mikey, a very exciting time. We have college football playoffs coming up. What a Saturday. Two NFL games, three college playoff games. The Bear is going to join us. He is going to sing us 12 picks at the end of this segment for the holidays. We're going to call it Santa Paws. Is that good with you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
I hate the Cowboys. Kay Funk, who are you taking here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
All right, you're taking the Bucs. Mojo, go ahead. The floor is yours.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
We know. Saints at Packers. Saints at Packers. These aren't bad games, but, you know, whatever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
I mean, K-Funk has every right to be upset about the choice of these games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Saints and Packers. Let's go to the guy who's smiling first. Carl Douglas, who are you taking here? Saints and Packers. What's the Saints record? Yeah, 14 and a half.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
All right, taking the Saints. Let's go to Mike Rawls in a Southern accent. Go ahead, Mike.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
All right. Cher Bear, who do you like here? Packers, 14.5-point favorites at home against the Saints.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
All right, final game here. Carl needs to leave. 49ers, they're taking on the Dolphins. Dolphins are one-point favorites. Let's go to Cher Bear first. Cher Bear, go ahead.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Bear, we'll get to college football in a second and we'll get to the games. But for those of you who don't know, Felica is a big Jets fan. OK, he is part of our tortured fan base. And so I am wondering here, Mikey, I will have a breaking story for you that just drives me crazy. But I am wondering how you feel about whether or not Aaron Rodgers should come back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
They're fans of party. Let's go to Mike Rollo, Southern Accent. Go ahead, Mike.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
All right, taking the 49ers there. Well done. Let's go to Carl Douglas. Niners at Dolphins. Carl, who are you taking? Dolphins a one-point favorite at home. Still have a 12% chance of making the playoffs if they win this game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
I like it, Carl. Let's go to Kay Funk. Kay Funk, can you take it here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Let's see what happens. Mojo, the floor is yours, sir. Go ahead.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
And if he does come back, do you want him back as the Jets quarterback?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
All right. We broke news to Rollins earlier that SMU made the playoffs. Go ahead.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
You know what comes next, Mojo. Get him on the show. I mean, let's go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Right. Mikey, I think for the first time I saw you nodding. Do you want Aaron Rodgers back, Mikey A.? No, I'm just not sure what the alternative is. Bear, let me just say this, okay? I would rather Aaron Rodgers be bad for the Jets than be great somewhere else. So therefore, I want him back. I can't stomach seeing him be great somewhere else. He's not going to be great. He might. He might.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
He is coming off a two and three. All right, boys. Get out of here. Merry Christmas. Happy holidays to all of you. I wish Gordy was here. Carl was here. And Jim here as well. So we can wish them a happy holidays. But we love you guys. We appreciate it. Audience, listen to Mojo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Because if you don't vote as number one, you will never see Mojo and Kay Funk in the same Zoom again on the same show again. So start voting right now. Gentlemen, Merry Christmas. Happy holidays. Happy New Year. Happy and healthy. We will speak to you next week. Happy holidays.

There is a there's a great report by Diana Rossini from The Athletic, because I have maintained for many, many years that we as Jet fans care more about the team than the fans do. Mikey, please share this report with the bear and let's get his let's get his response to it.

Were you okay with Belichick reaching out to the Jets and the Jets saying, get the f*** out of here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Yes. What did you think of Belichick going to Carolina? Did that surprise you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
You made news on this show recently saying Don Shula was a cheater. Are you alleging that Bill Belichick is also a cheater?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
You're right. Yes, well said by you. Bear, before the season started, and we'll get to your picks at the end here, before the college football season started, you and I voiced concern. We shared similar concerns about what it would do, the new playoff format would do, to the regular season. So now that we've had a full regular season to kind of digest this new era, what do you think?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Santa Paws
Has your opinion changed? Did it ruin the regular season? Did it enhance it? What are your thoughts here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
I'm glad you brought that up because life balance is very critical. It's very important. Dan didn't have to care about it the way you and I had to care about it because we were married, we had kids, and I remember... We were commuting. And we were commuting. When you do the type of show that we do, I remember having this discussion with Dan early on when we started.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
If we just throw ourselves into it, completely into it, our entire lives, just throw it into it, we'll have a good show. Because so few shows do that. But when you do do it that way, it comes at the sacrifice of some of the people that you love. And in my case, it was my wife and my kids. Like, I just missed a lot of stuff because we were doing the show later into the afternoon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
And then sometimes it would carry into the evening because we had events afterwards. And so I remember thinking to myself, this is a great change because I'll be able to see my kids more and I'll be able to see my wife more.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
I honestly, until after the segment ended and we went to commercial break, had no idea that Jonathan Coachman was black. 20 mediocre years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
He didn't drop a name. He dropped a location. I know, but it's like.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Yeah, because I wanted it for vastly different reasons. I wanted that time, too, and I wanted it for you, but I also wanted all the stuff that came with being in that time slot on ESPN Radio and being on TV on ESPN. People need to understand that Dan had what he wanted when he was doing the local show at 790 The Ticket. He didn't want to go to ESPN. He didn't want to do a national show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
He was happy just doing 3-6 or 3-7 on 790 The Ticket as people were headed to a heat game. So to get him to go to ESPN was tough in the first place. Getting him to change time slots was very, very tricky because he doesn't like change and it's not something he wants.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
How did you change your approach to content when we move from afternoons to 10 to 1? Because you mentioned it earlier where you're more reacting to games, but you're also, you have the ability, and you were great at this, to kind of create talking points for the rest of the day on ESPN, which I loved.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
I remember within our first few weeks there, I said something insane on the radio, and everyone was talking about it later on SportsCenter, and I felt great. And so, I mean, how did you approach that? Because I remember talking to you about it, saying we had to change our game just a little bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Wait, you're blaming that show for the entire month?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
I never get used to 3.38.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
The intimacy of the show was stripped away.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
He always was protective of us selling out, or at least people viewing it as we were selling out. And I would tell Dan that I think, like, we're Miami's show. A lot of these people, they've grown up with us. They're going to be proud of us. We're landing in the most coveted piece of real estate in sports radio, period. End of discussion.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Often. Often. Yes, yes. But it came with the territory. We were asking you to do something that you really didn't want to do. Me and Mike desperately wanted to do it. We were asking you to do something on our behalves, really. You said the decision came down to Mike being able to spend time with his daughter. We were almost forcing you to do something against your will.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
And yes, we felt it every single time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Yeah. People need to understand that Dan did this show for a long, long time before we went to 10 to 1 at ESPN with really no one but the audience paying attention. I was his boss at 790 The Ticket when we first started. When we went to afternoons, what did they tell us? Just do the show. Cater to Miami. Don't change a thing. And we had two big stories at the beginning.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Richie Incognito and LeBron coming down to the heat. But Dan, Mike and I had many, many, many conversations late into the evening when we moved to 10 to 1 because we were worried about you. We had conviction in our decision. We knew it was right for your career. We knew it was right for the career of this radio show that good things would happen if we moved to 10 to 1.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
But we also knew you were unhappy. And because you were unhappy, Mike and I spent countless hours trying to figure out how do we make Dan happy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Mike, were you worried, because I was, because we had built my character and people had become familiar with me and with the shipping container, that I wasn't going to be able to be the person that we created once we got to 10 to 1 because I was worried about it? I remember being scared to say some stuff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
And just so the audience knows, the change in times was big for us because when you're doing a national show, being on in the middays, being on from 10 to 1, that's the spot where you're going to get the best chance to be cleared in major markets because major market stations care the least about the middays. And they care very much about afternoon drive and morning drive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
You remember that great piece of art he had on the wall?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
And so for us going from 3 to 7, 4 to 7, and then 10 to 1, that was a big, big move and a big, big reason as to why our show got so big, because we were on in so many markets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
It's the day I knew just how big Levitard was. Not physically, just in general. Because we're like waiting for Skipper and Skipper peeks his head out and Levitard's like, hey! And they embrace and a big hug and I'm like, this guy doesn't treat anyone like that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
And then we get into his office and we sit down with him and to your earlier question, Mike, Skipper flat out told me and Dan to my face that he would prefer Bomani Jones doing the radio show with Dan. And Dan said no. He said no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
I knew well before that that that's what Dan would do. Mike, we know. We've been around him long enough at this point. Dan's loyal. You took great solace every single day in knowing just how loyal Dan was, that he wasn't going to do anything that would harm you, harm your career, harm your family. He was going to stand by you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
was and it forced us to be more disconnected than dan wanted to be which was super interesting because connection for dan is like the most important thing it was also the topics mike dan has never woken up one day in his life and said hey i want to talk to the people in kenosha he wants to talk to the people down here so what we were discussing during the local hour he was just more comfortable with because it's something that we had been doing for a while
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
And I'm like, why can't Dan be comfortable out here? But he couldn't be. And if Dan's not right, the show's not right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
It's like a first down.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
We just couldn't get Dan comfortable out there. That's it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
I wanted a coliseum, I mean.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Mike, we were a show that did not belong at ESPN.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Good use of brass taxes. Dan, do you feel the same way?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
I think he put the S on it. No, I said brass tacks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
But Mike felt it, so I mean, that's the important part. You give off a lot of stuff that you don't know you're giving off.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
It was important to me as well. You guys having a good relationship because when Hawk was there, you had a great relationship with Hawk and that made my job easier. My job, this was the most difficult stage for me because I'm worried about whether the two of you are going to get along and whether or not you will trust Mike the way you trusted Hawk.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Because when you trust your executive producer, it makes all of our jobs easier. But because I was so worried about so many things, your relationship, what was going on outside of the studio, worried about my own life. We're worried about the executives at ESPN. It made it a very tricky time for us to do the show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
And so I was thrilled once I realized that you two had landed in a spot where Dan clearly trusted and respected you. And you clearly took that and took it to the next level because you needed that from Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
But I think at this stage, you and I had a different relationship than the one that you had with Mike. And so I felt pretty comfortable with job security. And listen, you had sat in front of Skipper and said no to Bomani Jones.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
I felt pretty good about it. I needed you and Mike needed it. I needed you to get into a good place with Mike. That's all I need. So Mike was more worried about that stuff than I was at that point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
You're the one feeling it the most, though. Whatever's coming off of Dan, just so the audience understands this, Dan is not giving it to Roy or Billy or Chris or even Allison. You're getting all of it.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
He just didn't want to screw up the show because your reactions to some on-air screw-ups aren't always the best, and that's fine. We understand it. You're a perfectionist. It's what makes the show the show. Mike was legitimately terrified to the point where he's leaning on me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Right. I think you embraced it. Not the yelling. Just embrace someone's willingness to tell you what he has to tell you.

Oh, no, it was terror.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
At that stage, what helped you get through it? The years we're talking about right now. Was it the show becoming more comfortable and growing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Mike, let me try this again because in an odd way, I viewed all this as a positive because so many radio shows don't have relationships. They come in, they do the show, they leave, they don't care about each other, they don't talk to each other, they come back the next day, they do it all over again.

That time was the closest time for me and Mike, no question, because we felt like we were doing that. We were protecting you and we felt like we were producing you. But I still like every single night I would go home or day afternoon wondering if you're happy because we are talking about nonsense that you don't want to talk about. I'm ranking quarterbacks.

The real problem with baseball is when you go to a basketball game, you go to a Cavs game. You're going to see LeBron James for 90% of the game, and he's going to give you 27, 8, and 8, and you're probably going to see a dunk or a pass that you've never seen before, and you're going to leave happy.

When you go to a baseball game, an Anaheim Angel game, you're going to see Mike Trout every third inning. He has a better chance of going 0 for 4 than he does going 4 for 4 with a home run and four RBIs. And you're going to see Howie Kendrick just as much as you're going to see Mike Trout. I go to a Cavs game, I'm not going to see John Lucas III. I'm only going to see LeBron James.

John Lucas III is a backup guard. I know you're having Mike check it right now on the Cleveland Cavaliers. I'm not going to see him. I'm going to see LeBron.

I like to call it, Commissioner, I like to call it the magic at bat, okay? Now just hear me out for a second, okay? Each manager at any time during the game can go with, because, Commissioner, I'm not going to see a pitcher hit. I'm not going to see a shortstop hit. I'm going to see Stanton hit.

I want to tell you a story. I'm serious here. My wife and my two daughters, they begged me to buy a Peloton. So I bought a Peloton. And then I watched that Peloton sit in my office and stare at me.

Game winner. If you're the greatest of all time, the Panthers can't shut you down. That's Greg's point. And they did, so he's not the greatest of all time.

Dad knows. Mr. McDavid knows. That's why it hurts, Dan. You only get offended by things if they have a slight tinge of truth to them. And when he hears it, he's like, ooh, you know what? What you do is you go up to Mr. McDavid and say, you raised a good boy. Not good enough.

This guy comes in as the next Wayne Gretzky. His nicknames include the Chosen One and McJesus, okay? He's a great player. He scores a lot of goals. He scores a ton of assists, but it hasn't translated to making Edmonton a powerhouse in the league. They're in the final.

Yeah, I was glad to hear Randy say that McDavid probably ought not have won the conspire. You've got to give it to Bob, I think, for the reasons Randy said. But, you know, the best news is McDavid didn't get the trophy he wanted. The Panthers stole that one from him. They didn't steal it. They earned it from him. And so it's a happy day down here. Happier day down here in Edmonton.

You know, McDavid continues to pile up fantastic numbers with nothing to show at the end of it. And so this postseason of his was really a metaphor for his career. And that is what makes him overrated. Oh, no.

My thoughts from last night, it was a well-earned. victory. The two goal scorers were guys who needed to step up, and they did. Barbarofsky played a fantastic game.

The last three minutes of that game, I thought they pulled, I thought Edmonton pulled their goalie at least a minute too late, but the last three or four minutes of that game were about as exciting a three or four minutes as I've ever seen covering sports down here for 50 years. It was electric. It was just nerve-wracking down to the bone. What a finish to the season. What a wonderful Game 7.

All kidding aside, I think it's a great day for the Florida Panthers, for Panthers fans, for South Florida sports in general. What a wonderful time.
