You have green also. I've got to keep our deer guys happy. Mine was green. Mine was green. I will say that. Keep our deer guys happy. Match nicely. But, again, the product offering, that's a lot of fun because colors matter on the farm. It really does. The black has been the most popular lately just for resale value. It goes everywhere. Yeah, but we do a good job.

Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
Oh, that would be cool. That would be nice.

So the neat thing about the dual auger is, especially when people have wet corn, it really helps get that out better. Also depends on when you get in, especially in Canada, some of these bigger guys use those. They don't have the same rules that we do down here. They can haul a lot more.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
So when we get to the 2,500 bushel cart, just filling those super bees, they call them, getting those things full. That, to me, is very important. As much grain as you can get in there. And also unload it quickly. When it's 1,000 bushel per minute to unload, that's a big difference. And, again, with all that control you're talking about with that joystick, you can get up there.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
And, I mean, we had a guy, I'm just going to go over a guy in Nebraska, and he had literally running four carts. There were 2,000 bushels. And they had nine X9 combines running. It was crazy. And these guys were running just full out, and they had tandem axle with steerable axles.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
And the reason they picked us over a competitor was every time they were turning in the field, their axles didn't turn as far, and they were literally breaking studs off, so breaking complete spindles off the front.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
After they had, just last year, these guys got to run it, just hearing their success and how much it was, I mean, the uptime, things like that, with that dual auger cart. You can see that front window. I know I'm sorry I'm pointing, but they have just a lot of little things. That was actually brought up by that keg thing like Tanner was talking about. People wanted better visibility.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
So it's just little things that people really can – I mean, just an easy use and we listen. And that was one of the things that I got to do also last year. That's how I ended up out there in Nebraska in different places was we had a field follow-up program. We literally went out and went to 50, I went to 50 different customers, asked them what they liked, 50.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
And it didn't matter if it was a loose bolt or a scratch. Hey, what do you, what on your cart did you like or not like? Kind of like what we did with Corey also at his farm. Just, just find out. And, We compile all that information. We took 22 of those things, like the top 22 things that were pretty common, and we actually got a lot of those implemented before this fall again.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
So we have just people dedicated. Again, we have a whole team in Illinois. That's all they do is build carts. And then on the backside of that, people don't always see. You have your engineers, your design engineers, your test engineers. They're constantly testing and trying new things. So that's what I get excited about is we can literally go right from the farmer, from the buddy seat,
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
Go right back into that, we call it a war room. We go in there, talk as a group. Hey, this is what we're doing. And the ownership's like, let's do it. Like, if this is what the people want, let's do it. Because, again, at the end of the day, if you can keep your customers happy and providing things that no one else is willing to provide, that's what sets you apart. That's cool.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
And we also have a sump. And so a lot of other people, they have different ways that they get their grain out. But our cross auger comes up and then before it goes to the vertical auger, it actually goes down into a sump and it's not impeded by anything else. Some of our competition have the gearbox down there where the gearbox actually gets in the way of that grain transfer.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
Well, we literally have a sump that everything falls into and then takes the grain out cleanly. So that's why, again, we can get a thousand bushel a minute and be efficient at it. And we also have a 22-inch load and a 24-inch unload. And it's pretty exciting when everything runs right and those guys are like, I mean, the next truck, next truck.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
And just watch, like I say, those guys, especially with 9x9 running out there in the field, they are always, especially in the corn, they always are waiting for somebody. And they don't want to wait. So that's where you lose your efficiency.

My role is a product specialist for grain carts. So I literally support anybody that needs help with the demos, anything, any questions, resource. That's all I am is a resource. And it's a blast. You can't find a better job where all you have to do is worry about one product, know all the nuts and bolts on it and
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
hydraulics you name it and it's also a grain cart so you don't got motor you don't got a lot of other things to worry about i mean a lot of people caught a box with an auger so it's a lot of fun to get out there and really show them where the return on investment is on a grain cart and how important it is and i know you guys are just talking about it like you gotta get the bushels out of the field and one of the most efficient ways to do that is a grain cart right
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep. So that's what I did. And then I was a territory manager and then took a promotion last June to now all I do is focus on grain carts. And I actually will be in Canada next week in Alberta doing some demos up there with their wheat. So it's been really interesting just learning all the different, you got millet and rice and you name it, Durham.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
I didn't know what that was, cereal rice. Like I learned a lot of stuff. I mean, it's like, In Iowa, you're used to corn and soy beans. That's about it. I mean, yeah, you get a little bit of wheat here and there and it's oats and different things, but nothing like when you get out and then you all of a sudden you get canola. And so you learn a lot quick. Right.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
Favorite part about the grain cart is especially when people have ideas. We work with a lot of different companies. Stein Seed, one of them, a local company, they had a very specific need on what they wanted and we build them a couple of custom grain carts. So I feel really good that
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
When people have an idea, they bring it to you and we've had a relationship with them for years and find out what the needs are that are out there and conquer that need. One of my favorite features is that back door, that ground access door. We were the first, now three other companies will have it now at the Farm Progress Show you'll have in a few weeks. They'll have it also.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
But we were the first ones five years ago to bring out a door that you can literally get into that's chest level. It has a little ladder. You crawl right up in the cart. And the reason for that was 100% clean outs. People are changing varieties, doing different things. A lot of custom harvesters were going to literally the next field, so they literally could clean out 100% by getting in this door.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
The biggest thing you can get into them is getting back out of them. Some guys had injuries, wrist injuries or shoulder injuries, and that was the case with Stein Seed. And they said the safety was number one, and that was the one thing that they were some of the catalysts. That was a big reason why they bought our carts was so the guys could get into 100% clean outs and get out safely.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
And on our new DXT grain carts, we actually have a clean-out door that runs the entire length. So after you get in there, It's so nice that the doors, the entire length of the product, it's easy to get it out.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
Yeah, it drops. There's a handle on the back, and you can drop, and then literally 100% clean out. You can't get much simpler than that. Okay.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
So it's actually nice and secure in the back. So you literally have to go out and trip it. Like it's just not one of those things that's just going to open while you're going down the road.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
Yes, correct. Yep. Yep.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
And also, just to kind of tell on ourselves, but this is how you get better. We had the DXR, the last version that was five years ago, and now we have the new version out. We listened to our customers and we had almost the same kind of door, but it was very hard to get that to adjust. So after you do that literally a thousand times or a hundred times, things start to wear.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
Well, then we figured out, hey, Let's make that so we can adjust it better so then it has a tighter fit without having to buy kits, things like that. And, again, that's one thing I love about Brandt is that you take the time to listen, especially in a role like I am. We literally go see the farmers. I write this down, and I got three guys on speed dial engineers that, hey, guys, here's what I saw.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
What do you think? Is this worth something to go into and fix?
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
trying to get grain from the field into a semi or into a wagon and out you just want things to be easy yep right as efficient as possible concept goes across all brands yeah but you were talking about before we started this that that's still something that brand's doing and you like to be able to take people to see it being built yes yeah so we got a we're literally building usa here so right here in hudson illinois i say here but it's a couple hours that way like i get excited because it is still usa brand and we build them in hudson illinois and
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
Yeah, I welcome tours. So if people want to come, uh, let us know and we can get a tour lined up for me. If you're in that Bloomington normal area, Hudson's just a little town right beside there, but it's just right on the outskirts of Bloomington, uh, in Illinois. And you can literally see either the XT or the DXT. That's all they build there.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
So that whole factory is just dedicated to the grain carts. And so that's pretty exciting because a lot of plants have multiple things going on, which is fine, but that's one thing Brandt decided, even though they're, they are a Canadian company. they build all their grain carts there and export them. So we build all our own track carriages, things like that are all built in-house.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
Why do we do it there?
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
Well, because the biggest thing is, is that we have so much need down here for the grain carts. I mean, you look at the ice states again, there's just so, I mean, I was even down in Arkansas and Mississippi, the rice down there was amazing. And we have a really good rice cart with the XT. And it's amazing when you put three or four different carts together and And rice is so abrasive.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
And when you see we have like an extra quarter-inch lip on our auger, when you see that extra auger or the extra flighting that we put on there, the hardening, you can tell the difference when you have carts lined up that are in people's – you go to a dealer and you see carts lined up. You can see after a season that does matter. Like the little things, the little attention to detail does matter.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
That's just a single auger. Okay.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
I should probably know this as a specialist. I do not know.

Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
It's usually nine foot in front of the hitch.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
And not only that, on that same stick you're talking about, on that auger, on that downspout, we actually have a light kit there that you can actually see the flow door. Where's that gate at? And especially with young operators, if you tell them, hey, only light up a couple lights, that just shows you if we can light up all the lights, that's when the flow gate's completely open.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
And then when it's closed, they're all off. And it's so much easier doing that than people, like you said, crank your neck back trying to find out where's that little indicator at. The slide, yeah. It's right there. Yeah.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
A lot of people have a, I know you guys have even talked about this on previous podcasts. They get a lot of foreign workers and sometimes there's a language barrier and the light is easy. Like the light, two lights, two lights. So you can just show them like, Hey, don't go past two lights until they get comfortable. And there's just little things like that that just help.
Farm4Profit Podcast
Mastering Market Volatility: Ever.Ag’s Approach to Agricultural Risk Management
And again, the age barrier, I mean, I've seen 13, 12 year olds out there running the carts. And they're able to run them and efficiently with very minimal training.

I do think it's Buffalo's year to win the Super Bowl. But when you talk about trying to quantify why the Chiefs win, why they know how to win, Andy Reid in his career has coached 35 games either after a bye or after an off week. His record is 30-5.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jeremy Corbell and the UFO Revolution
To me, if you have a coach that with added, not just added rest, but added preparation time, has that kind of a record, pretty big sample size, that's a lot of it.

Hour 2: Jeremy Corbell and the UFO Revolution
I'm talking about in his career, he is 30-5 after a bye week or after a week of rest, which the Super Bowl is after a week of rest.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jeremy Corbell and the UFO Revolution
I think there's a reason why Buffalo is almost – it's almost a pick-em game, one and a half to two points depending where you look. Buffalo's offense is better than Patrick Mahomes' offense this year. James Cook is a better running back than Kareem Hunt has been, who's averaging like 3.4 yards a carry. And the defense –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jeremy Corbell and the UFO Revolution
I would say Kansas City has an edge on defense, but Buffalo's offense has been much better, appreciably better.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jeremy Corbell and the UFO Revolution
Yeah, well, it's a cold weather team they're playing, too. So I don't think the weather is that much of a differential here. But keep in mind, Patrick Mahomes, by his standards, did not have an extraordinary season. Didn't even make the Pro Bowl, which is like unheard of. I mean, he makes the Pro Bowl every year.

Why is it a debate how tall he is? Let's just look it up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jeremy Corbell and the UFO Revolution
Right. No, I agree with you that he's the best, most impressive rookie quarterback of this generation for sure. On the other hand, he's a pretty big underdog in this NFC title game. He will be an underdog if he makes it to the Super Bowl. So I don't think we want to crown him yet. You know, CJ Stroud. had a pretty damn good rookie season and then sort of had the sophomore slump.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jeremy Corbell and the UFO Revolution
I think for Jaden Daniels to really reach the level you're talking about, he has to avoid the sophomore slump and really do it again next year. But they've had an extraordinary offense. Their defense isn't that outstanding. I don't even think Terry McLaurin had a great year, but I don't think he has an elite receiver like some teams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jeremy Corbell and the UFO Revolution
Yes. Yes. If you're talking about... You know, you already have him in the Hall of Fame. Look, he's had a great rookie season. He has terrific potential. But we've also seen quarterbacks across time, you know, really, really impress us and wow us and then sort of peter out a little bit. I'm just saying let's not send him to Canton just yet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jeremy Corbell and the UFO Revolution
Yeah, and Washington's especially bad against the run versus Saquon Barkley. Not a great matchup, I don't think. But... Listen, Buffalo out underdogs Washington in terms of nationwide, America in general. If you're a dispassionate football fan rooting for the best story or what have you, you have to be a Bills fan. You just do. They haven't won. They haven't won anything since the AFL days.

Yeah, another testimonial to curiosity in someone trying to make, so even though it was weird, they were coming by to see what was going on. And then the quarterback that picked up for Tom Brady the year he hurt his arm.

PTFO - House Call: Why the World's Best Pitchers and Quarterbacks Seek This Man's Advice
Matt Castle was a baseball pitcher at USC. And he said, hey, Tom, is it okay if I bring Tom Brady by? I said, he wants to come by? I said, sure. So Tom showed up, and it happened to be a day when I had 10-year-olds. I think I had a javelin thrower and a golfer besides a couple quarterbacks and a pitcher.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - House Call: Why the World's Best Pitchers and Quarterbacks Seek This Man's Advice
Exactly. And I can remember Tom looking and going, I'm not sure. And as it turned out, we hooked him just because of that. The stuff that he was doing that was new made him feel stuff in his delivery. And one thing that people don't realize about Tom Brady, he is demanding. When you're a coach working with him, every throw is under the microscope. What did you see? I felt this.

Oh, yeah. And then if he didn't think I was paying attention, he'd screw something up.

PTFO - House Call: Why the World's Best Pitchers and Quarterbacks Seek This Man's Advice
And what he didn't realize is that I knew that he knew. The thing that was hardest for him to understand was his front side, I just say closed till the last possible second. He was taught like all quarterbacks in his generation to pull that front side through to get more on the ball. And it's just the opposite.

And there you are. Right under the think of it as money sign. Yeah. So when we drew straws as the bullpen guys on where we wanted to be, it was basically analytics before our time. It came exactly where if Downing made a mistake, that was where it was going to go. If I would have stood still, it would have hit me right in the forehead. So it wasn't a great catch. I caught the ball. Bill Buckner.

If you've got a vector going this way, you can't put force on it that way or as much spin. Drew was extremely accurate with a base that was too broad. He could not throw long effectively. Tom Brady, on the other hand, could throw in the next week, but he had a base that was too narrow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - House Call: Why the World's Best Pitchers and Quarterbacks Seek This Man's Advice
So we spent a good part of the first three years we worked together narrowing Drew Brees' stance and spreading Tom Brady out and firming Tom Brady's front side up. They both took volumes of notes. I think Tom told me he had 17 spiral notebooks. Drew had 12 or 13. And both of them, they shared in common film study.

To be honest, quarterbacks are the easiest athlete to work with. They're used to huge amounts of data to be processed quickly and turned into action.

You still have to pitch. Let me throw something out you can laugh at over the next few years. We know the human arm can go 118 miles an hour. I've done it a bunch of times with pitchers. Can they do it for a game, a season, an inning, whatever? Haven't figured out how yet.

Okay, if you add together the time it takes the best hitter in the game to swing at a pitch, he should not be able to hit 105 miles an hour. The times don't add up, but they do.

But the genius of Greg Maddux, he threw the velocity where he had the most movement. He could still, even in his later years, he could have thrown 95, 96, but it flattened out. So there's three ways to get a hitter out. You get them out with speed, change of speed, and movement. And he was a genius at all those. And a fastball in at 90 is faster than a fastball away at 90, perceived velocity.

Because 50 years ago, it was the first time we ever said, okay, let's give women, young men and women, young girls and women an opportunity. And it started. And it's the best thing that's ever passed out of this place. We call the swamp here in Washington, D.C. But again, we're going to keep fighting for it. But again, I'm going to continue to push leadership.

Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
John Toon, John Barrasso, they all are on my side on this. But again, you might have hit the hit the nail on the head while ago when you said, you know, they might just want to win. Well, we've had two losses in the last two votes that weren't Lake and Raleigh. So it's like, just don't worry about winning or losing on this. Let's get it out there where people can see what's going on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Well, Murkowski voted against it last time. And then I think the next time she may have voted for it. I can't remember. But at the end of the day, now we have 53. It's going to be a touchy subject. Again, if you just go back and look at the last three months, President Trump hammered this home of the people. There's no question.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Yeah, that's true. I think it'll be close, though. You've got to remember now, they've got quite a few people that suffer election in a year and a half, and this is going to be maybe one of the top subjects out there. We get the border under control. We get inflation under control, crime under control. President Trump continues this march down the path of getting back to the United States.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
This will be one of the top issues, and so if we go ahead and get it done now, obviously Without, you know, too much fanfare from from the Democrats, I think we've got a great opportunity, but they're going to push back hard. Chuck Schumer is definitely against anything that we do of blocking this. So he's going to hold his hold his group's feet to the fire on this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Well, it's typical, just rant and rave. She's just trying to make headlines. She has no clue what she's talking about. Inspection of young girls. Up until the last year or so, we didn't have to worry about this, and that's never happened before, and it's not going to happen in the future. It's just they've lost their mind, Megan. They've absolutely lost their mind.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
They want total control, and if they can control a scenario like this, they think they can control anything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Well, I'm hoping she gets through, but I think if one of those three is going to have a tougher time, it's probably going to be her. We have these people up here that think they invented national intelligence. Most of them just look at scenarios and, you know, what can give us a good opinion that we can tell our folks back home that we're going to vote against her? It amazes me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Everybody tries to... tries to be a one up everybody else. And you, and I saw you at one of the hearings, uh, that they were waiting in on Pete Hexeth. They, the Democrats were getting ready to absolutely run over top of him and maybe even a couple of Republicans. He handled it so well. It kind of shut them all up for a while, but their scenario, every,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Every one of these hearings, Megan, is seek and destroy. They want to do everything they possibly can. Most of them have no morals. The things that they've done to this country for the past four years is it's not forgivable. But again, I think Robert Kennedy will get in. I think it'd be close. Kash Patel probably has a better chance than both of those two. I think he'll go through maybe with.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
52, 53 votes. And then of course, Tulsi, she is perfect. All three are out of the box in exactly what we're looking for. And as I tell my colleagues on the left, or excuse me, on the right, Robert Kennedy brought millions of votes. to President Trump, because when he flipped sides and came his way, you could just feel the momentum from Robert Kennedy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
He needs to be approved because he will do an absolutely outstanding job, not just for vaccines, which everybody thinks is all about vaccines. It is about everything. It's about food. It's about the future of our country and our kids and everything we do and our healthcare.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Well, I never even coached him. What happened is I recruited him, and then I left and went to another school. But I've got to be very good friends with him. He's a good – he's not just a good athlete. He's a very good example for a lot of our young youth across this country. Same thing with – Dwayne Johnson, coaching Dwayne at University of Miami years ago.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
He's a good football player, wasn't a great one, but you could tell he was a perfect gentleman on and off the field. So one of those type of people. But now I like both teams. Again, I'm not a big NFL person. I like college football more, but I'll probably be pulling for Patrick this week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
I'll take that bet. It should be a good time, though. The football game is secondhand compared to everything else around it. I've been to them, the halftime, the pregame, all the festivities. And New Orleans is a great place. So be careful down there. It will be safe. You know, they'll have a lot of security.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
But at the end of the day, it's the biggest event of the year, sporting-wise, for our country. And hopefully we'll have a great game.

assigned on the basis of a crime, right? These are people that may have had an asylum claim, right? And the asylum claim gets denied and they have done nothing wrong. They're here paying taxes through their tax ID number, which is given to them. They're working, they may have a home, they may have family, but their asylum claim might be denied.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
They could end up with an order of deportation out of that. When a police officer runs their license now, as they're driving right they will see that ice warrant pop up and they will be empowered now to stop them even if they have not even committed a traffic infraction right so what this does is another negative aspect of this it really harms the trust between the community
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
and the police, because now people are going to be afraid to call the police to report all sorts of crime, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
Whether it's a burglary or domestic abuse or a crime that they saw in their neighborhood, they're gonna say, well, I'm not gonna call the police because they're gonna come here and they're gonna ask me for my ID, they're gonna ask me for my driver's license, my social security number, and I could end up detained. I could end up with a detainer myself. So we're gonna see a lot more crime unreported.

#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
Now, to your other point about the mayor. So, yes, Miami-Dade County, I believe they signed the warrant service officer model of the 287G, which is the one that I believe that if they sign that one, which I think they did, deputizes police officers inside of the jail setting to serve these warrants. The problem with this is that
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
Look, there are a number of state laws that mandate that municipalities that operate a county jail have to sign into a sort of 287G agreement. But then, you know, the mayor and the Democrats in the commission, with the exception of Marlene Bastien, who voted against, have all at one point or another characterized themselves as defenders of immigrants.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
And in 2017, when the county reinstated its 287 program, which was rescinded by now Congressman Carlos Jimenez, by the way, he's the one that ended the 287 model to begin with. in 2014 because we weren't getting reimbursed from it by the feds, and it was costing the county millions and millions of dollars.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
Anyways, these people, including the mayor, who have characterized themselves as defenders of immigrants, signed into an elevated, enhanced level of the 287 program, which they didn't have to do. They could have signed into the weakest one. And they did so without community input, without notifying the public really to to mobilize, to give public comment, whether they support it or not.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
And they really just tried to rush this with with almost no opposition whatsoever. So, you know, just to be quite frank, it is disappointing to see the mayor do this, to not burn
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
and inch a little bit of political capital on this really, really serious issue, which is, again, burdening and weaponizing our police departments to go after the immigrants that are harvesting our crops, building our buildings, taking care of our kids, working the jobs that nobody else wants to work, Making the city great, as you said, making Miami what it is. And what do they do?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
They get shit upon by the county and by all of the municipalities because they're too afraid to fight against the governor because he might remove them from office. It's shameful.

Going into the weeds without getting too into the weeds for the listener, 287 references a section of the INA, which is Immigration Nationality Act, which is the framework that basically structures our immigration policies and law in the United States.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
that basically delineates contracts that the federal government can enter with municipalities, local governments and other entities to enforce immigration laws. Right. Immigration enforcement. And this is something that was turbocharged actually during the first Obama administration, during something called secure communities that was later discontinued, I believe, in 2011 or 2012, 2012. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
Yes, 2012, because of the amount of racial profiling lawsuits that stemmed from it across the country that cost, again, these municipalities and local governments millions and millions of dollars, right? So it was decided to be discontinued. And now it is being, you know, revisited under the current Trump administration.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
And most of these 287G agreements are actually being signed right here in Florida, where we have more 287G agreements signed than ever before, even during their heyday during the Obama administration. There's three types of 287 agreements. There's a 287 agreement that's basically in its most basic form that basically says local jails have to hold people
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
an extra set amount of time from when they would be able to postpone to be released for ICE to come pick them up if they committed any sort of offense, right? That could be a serious crime to driving without a license, which here in Florida, if you're undocumented and you have to get to work, you can't get a driver's license.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
It's not like 18 other states where undocumented people have that option. Then there is the warrant service officer model of the 287G, which actually deputizes police officers inside of a jail to serve those warrants, right? They don't even have to wait for ICE to come pick them up. They can just serve the warrants and do the paperwork themselves.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
And what Hialeah and Coral Gables has signed, which is so concerning, is what's called a 287G task force model, which is what the Obama administration has specifically discontinued, which actually deputizes police officers outside of the jail setting. Right. So.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
in our community police officers can again interrogate question people's immigration status detain them on the basis of immigration etc and the reason why this is so concerning is for a number of reasons a municipalities do not get reimbursed for holding people for ice for whatever the reason is right We already have a criminal code that says that people are detained for committing crimes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
So it's not like if you're undocumented and there's no 287 agreement, you don't get put in jail and deported, right? You absolutely do. There's also the concern about racial profiling, which will absolutely happen as police officers stop somebody And not all of them, but some are going to say this person looks undocumented. Let me ask them for their immigration status.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
And in fact, we've seen that, for example, Puerto Ricans have been detained by ICE in this administration. Native Americans have been detained by ICE under this administration. And as I think we all know, Native Americans and Puerto Ricans, famously U.S. citizens, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
So and the last thing is, you know, police officers became police officers to be police officers, right, to police our communities, not to not to be immigration enforcement. So this adds an extra burden for them in terms of conducting their their day to day work.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
Yeah, so let me respond to all your points in order, if I remember that correctly. So on you calling bullshit to what you've heard, and you are correct, because as I told you, you know, previously,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
police officers, I'm not saying all of them, but some will absolutely racially profile on the basis of identity and ethnicity on who they think is an undocumented immigrant or not when asking for immigration status, right, at stops. The other thing is, yes, Absolutely. People will get stopped by running a red light, by running a stop sign, by speeding or some other form of traffic infraction.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: The Relentless Pursuit of the Real Estate Hustle
And they'll be asked for a driver's license. Right. And they won't have one because, again, if you're undocumented in the state of Florida, you cannot drive. there is no way for you to get a driver's license. Another thing that they neglect to mention is that there are about 700,000 people in the state of Florida with orders of deportation. And orders of deportation are not
