The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Whoa! I wanted to ask... Thank you. I was asking him about I wanted to ask him about running point, as he mentioned, because it's Jeannie Buss. It's Kate Hudson. The Lakers story continues to be mined for gold everywhere. And I was curious about how some of this got made. Jeannie Buss is forthcoming with all parts of her story here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
How much of this is fictionalized and how much to you feels like it's just Jeannie Buss turned up to 10?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Can you help me understand Jeannie Buss? I don't know what her relationship is or was with Jay Moore or with comedy, but I believe she's got a special relationship with specifically comedy. Does she not?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
I hope. That seems dramatic. It's the first season of Running Point. It is streaming now on Netflix, which is in more disarray, weirdness, and general uncertainty right now. Hollywood, the sports media, or your Chicago Bulls? Oof.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
You'd give all of them. Fair enough. But then we're just the Bucs. That wouldn't be a bad thing to be if you were properly made. You're the Bulls, right? Hold on. Congratulations, you're the Bulls.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Is there any way, I don't know how much you value, how much do you value that Wheaties box? Like what would we have to do in order to get you to try and eat a piece of 30-year-old cereal?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
It seems like we are now in a negotiation that will make you eat from that box right now. At the end of today's show, you will get a producer credit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
We almost had him. No, we did have him. No, that should be orally binding, and now he's backing out. What do you mean we almost had him? We did have him, and then he realized, wait, they let all the producers talk around here. It doesn't mean anything. Yeah, that's what he realized. Can we talk for a moment before you go about your PTI Sports Radio Jim Rome days?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
He's a radio professional and you could have heard all of these thoughts on the starting point with Brian Scalabrini and Frank Isola yesterday because he can do things on repeat. He's a good radio person. He's a rising star at ESPN radios.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
The Jim Rome experience different than that, right? It's a little it's not quite as I wouldn't imagine the community is locked in arms laughing and singing toward the sky there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
I put you in a bad spot there. No, I'm just kidding. The only reason I'm laughing is because knowing the two environments and knowing how much I love the environment backstage at Pardon the Interruption, I can see how a communal show would be much different than writing for one person who's doing one show as one voice. Those are very different projects.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
And so I put you in a bad spot, but I did it on purpose.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Do you miss anything about the sports beginnings?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Wow, what a great position. Did you hear that position as a sports fan? To win so much that I no longer care about sports because I've had my fill. I've moved on to other things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
David, thank you. We appreciate the time. I do recommend Running Point, the new comedy series on Netflix. These folks do nothing but good work. So I would recommend it to you strongly. Thank you. Thank you, guys. Really fun.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Yes. Thank you for being on with us. Quite the endorsement on that at the end.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Yeah, he got a thumbs up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
All right, well, hold on a second. So let's just make the allegation clear. I am saying that when Zaslow talked... with David Sampson, whose company he has enjoyed, it is without David Sampson having the knowledge that Zaslow has called him a swindler in the past. And Zaslow is claiming he's never done that. I don't think it's true.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
The conversation he walked in on of Amin and his child clogging a toilet that began with not to go too deep into the woods on toilet humor here, that then became an alligator.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Okay, so he's saying it's not in any way true, but when introducing... Your son, to our audience, and your son's feelings about David Sampson because of what he's done to the Marlins, you put a framing on it that was positive as if you've never said anything bad about David Sampson. But what you actually told your son, I think, is that he's a swindler who built the Marlins in Miami for millions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
I still would put that on the poll at Levitard Show. Is there a difference in the smell?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
I'm not saying waste. I'm saying the farts of children. versus the farts of adults, is there a scent difference that would make you in a Disney World line be able to accuse a six-year-old instead of his lumberjack of a 340-pound father with the turkey leg in his hand?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
I didn't do it. Come on. You think I haven't done that? You think that's what heaven gives is gifts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Billy, I would like tomorrow on the show or next Wild Willie Wednesday to put adult poop, baby poop, and dog poop in front of you and you pick which is which.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Blindfolded, yes. Okay, no. Blindfolded.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
That's too bad. Wild Willie Wednesday needs to be wilder. I can provide the human poop, the adult poop.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
It happens in South Florida with snakes, iguanas. These are things that are frogs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
I think you're missing the point. It's all pipes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Yeah, but they're not pipes big enough for alligators. You'd be surprised.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
I mean, I wanted to ask you about where it is that we are placing Jamal Murray on the pantheon of performers when I've been telling you here that And it's a tricky thing to trust James Harden, and it's a trickier thing to trust the Clippers. I've been telling you that I believe that team for two seasons now is championship good if healthy. They run into the best player in the league.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
When James Harden was asked recently who should win the MVP, he said we'd all like Shea Gilgis-Alexander to win, but of course... Jokic is the best player. He's obviously the best player. Last night, Jokic again controls a basketball game in a way that is super strange and allows us and allows Jamal Murray to enjoy the heightened excellence of what it gets
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
to be when you're the number two guy who doesn't ever have the number one guy responsibilities and you can occasionally put up the 36 because he's going for a triple double 13 points and you don't and that's the day they decide he's just going to pass the ball and allow Jamal Murray to be a player that generally he's not. I mean, he is not.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
I don't believe that Jamal Murray without Jokic would be putting up a great many 40-point games. I believe he's afforded what he's – and not that – how many 40-point games has Jamal Murray put up in his career? Is it five, you'd say? What would you guess? Just all total. I would say that if he's done – he may have done it more than five times, but I don't think of him as a player in game five.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Even as someone who saw him in the bubble and says that first-round playoff series of Jamal and Jokic playing together is the best basketball I've ever seen. him playing against Donovan Mitchell and Utah, because it was that unstoppable. Those two guys was that unstoppable.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Okay, but for his career, I bet you it's not a ton more than that. I'm going to guess.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
I'm going to guess that this guy is putting up something that would resemble Jimmy Butler if Jimmy Butler didn't exist in terms of what he does in the postseason versus what he's doing in the regular season and what that buys you in reputation when the next two games, nobody trusts James Harden in the next two games. Like, there's nobody listening to this. Nobody who will say that...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
I trust that James Harden in these next two games isn't going to put up what he just put up there when they needed him to do something.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Your son's appraisal of David Sampson is that he's a swindler and a liar based on what his father has told him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
You believe, though, that there is a lot of comps for a guy who will score 40 points in six playoff games, is a champion, and is not an all-star?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
But I'm saying that if I just give you Jamal Murray statistics and I just show you things being done in important moments on the way to important victories, that's a player that's remembered for all time if you put up six 40-point games in the playoffs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
I think that off of the games yesterday, you're going to have some difficulty finding something that's harder to talk about than the placement of Jamal Murray, given that from StatMuse, he now has more 40-point playoff games than Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, Kawhi, Ant, Mitchell, Jokic. Dan. Carmelo, Dame, McGrady, Magic, Trey, Oscar Robertson, Paul Pierce, Karl Malone, Jason Tatum.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
I can't believe that my father saw Mickey Arison leaving the arena in a wig, sunglasses, and a mustache. Like a ball of wax.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Those were the cliff notes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
$2 billion FU.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
He swindled the city.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
The Boost Mobile phone line is a subject of great ridicule by me. It has slightly improved. It is still not yet good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
It's too bad Jeremy's not here. I don't know why he's not here. I was just going to go to the Shakira story that he so badly wants to tell anybody, but he's not here, so we're not going to be able to do that. That's unfortunate. Zaslow has created some tensions around here. And what are you shrugging your shoulders about?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
That's a good badge. I'm telling you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Pasta put it on the pole at Levitard show. Can you get away with never using a fork your entire life?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
I think there's a difference that you can smell the difference. Do I have this wrong between adult farts and child farts? Do I have this wrong?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
And then I looked at you like, oh, no, no. David Stassin joins us now. I can't imagine how he's been absorbing this. OK, this is one of Hollywood's great showrunners. You've got you've got two movies. On his resume that Zaslow loves, two of them, Central Intelligence and Blockers. The Mindy Project is wildly popular and he's now got a series on Netflix. What are you laughing about, Billy?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
No. Yeah, he did seem surprised that Zaslow was such a big fan of both of those movies. Why were you surprised? And what did you make of the conversation that you walked in on where one of Amin's children had clogged a toilet so badly that Amin, his father, thought it was an alligator in the toilet?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Zaslow, you want to tell the man? I am more interested in the gutter parts of your story that involve working on the Jim Rome show and Pardon the Interruption. Oh, yeah. But Zaslow has questions about your actual success.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Well, you have some stuff with him. I don't have anything with him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Okay. That's been alleged. And I would say that Greg Cody has some problems with him. And I would also say that now the audience... Journalistic beef. The audience also has some problems with Zaslow because... Earlier in the show, David Sampson was on with us and Zaslow said one thing to his face. And I alleged that he had said something about Sampson being a swindler.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Do you want to talk to him about central intelligence? I imagine the Mindy Project is the thing that you've done that's gotten the most critical acclaim?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
You're being nice and you're being this is a very kind story the way that he's telling it. There's no way under that circumstance that The Rock wanted to talk to you or wanted you anywhere near him. And so he was nice under the circumstances. But he would have wanted to tell you to bleep off. Exactly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Oh, no, you're good. Oh, yeah. Scandalous. One of the writers for Blockers has said a word that we don't like around here. So sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
Chris, can you get the timing right on Wild Willie Wednesdays? It's never been more appropriate. The Wild Willie question. Please put it in every Wednesday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
And Zaslow said we would not be able to find the sound. And then I was a lonely Kentucky fraud chicken because nobody believed me. And I've been told we have found a sound. And so now I just want to get the nature of the dispute out in front of people because Zaslow has said he never said what we accused him of saying. So, Chris Cody, what is the sound that has been found by our researchers?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The 1991 Wheaties Box (feat. David Stassen)
I didn't know, but I'm glad we were able to confirm it. Confirm it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
It's a short one for me. I tried to speed it up for you guys. You forgot about the League's Cup. Stugatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
Well, when Fidel died the first time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
You can see the silencer. I stand corrected. In Stephen A's defense, the nurse pulled a gun on him first. What you say? So Zazlo's second shirt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
No? I've been your loyalist subject.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
No, I said if you're caught in the middle of a lover's quarrel and the lover's quarrel is your family and the heat, then what do you do? Because the heat will be responsible possibly for your parents' divorce.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
The father, the father. I don't know. I didn't think it was embarrassing for him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
Zaz, you know Tyrese Halliburton, who his cousin is? No. Eddie Jones. How about that? Oh, okay. Got an Eddie Jones shirt there somewhere hidden?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
The way you're selling it is that these are super old and ratty, and they show how much of a lifelong fan Zazz is, and we're going all the way back to 2016, the oldest shirt so far.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
That's history right there, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
Is a Chris Bosh years post-retirement Chris Bosh shirt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
I'm wearing a shirt from Pitt that someone sent me that I'm pretty sure is older than 2019.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
I have no expectations for number one, I'm going to be honest with you, so far. That's my move right there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
If it doesn't say Cycli on it, get out of here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
Like Zazzle, they've got to retire that white hot every playoff. We're embarrassing ourselves at this point in time. Every time it's white hot, you knew you were going to get destroyed in this playoff. I think you play it by ear. You say, this is going to be a run, we do white hot. This one, we knew. You can't do white hot today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
No, that was this morning. That's why I was a little tardy for the party. As I left the house, I stopped at the gas station, and I didn't have my wallet. So I had to head back home to go get that wallet and then go back. It was Westchester. Come on. What do you think that these are, like, fancy gas pumps? No, I've seen them with the Apple Pay stuff from Westchester. Apple Pay, not for me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
It is weird considering what your profession was. You're a journalist. You had sources. But if we tell you anything, you tell everyone everything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
But we're not coming to you for content mining. We're coming to you with personal, private conversations that then you turn into content.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
Apple Pay is fine when it has my thing saved and I can order my McDonald's, I hit Apple Pay, whatever. When I have to go start and tap my, first of all, last thing I'm gonna tap with my phone is a dirty gas pump, okay? I'm not gonna go touch a dirty gas pump with my phone that then is gonna go and lay on my face. That's not gonna happen. And this whole tapping situation, I love technology.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
I love the advances of technology. Zazz, I feel like you might be with me on some of this stuff. At a certain point, we've advanced far enough. We're going too far on some of these things. When I just am close enough to something and it takes money out of my account and I didn't have to do anything other than my device was close enough to the device that steals the digital money for me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
No, you're on. Come on. You have an 80-year-old shirt in your hand. You have two old shirts on your lap. Are you not with me on this? I'm doing my job. You're not with me on this? You like the idea of someone just going up to you and tapping your phone and then you lose money? Yeah, I'm good with it, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
I'm using money. No, you're losing it. Here's the thing. Unless you're there watching all the time, I'm telling you someone's going up there. Have you seen these scams?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
Okay, welcome to the party, friends. Go on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
No, there's always a scam going. That's the thing. There's always a scam going.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
Haven't you seen the parking things? They had to take the QR codes off of the parking signs here because people were putting their own fake QR codes on the parking signs where you would go, you'd go on the QR code, and they had a fake website, and you'd just give them $5, $8, whatever it is, and they'd have your credit card information. You didn't actually pay for parking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
What do you mean? How so?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
I'm not. What do you mean? That's what I mean. What am I too worried about? What should I be worried about?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
You're too involved. Nah, dog. I'm telling you. This is what happens. People come after me. They come after me. And, like, I need to know. I can't trust no one. There's one person I can trust. It's me. So if someone's saying, especially a stranger, trust me on this, no thank you. I've been burned too many times. I know not to trust anyone around here. You can only trust me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
And even me, I'm a slippery one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
No, because he says dog, so I was trying to get him on my side. I like the tension you two have over the last couple of days. We don't have tension. I feel like we're close. Are we not close?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
Yeah, we're getting to know each other.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
I mean, I started interviewing 20 years ago when you were there, but we're just getting to know each other. That's fine. I'm not going to rush this relationship. It's at your pace, I suppose.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
I parked in someone's carport the other day at a Marlins game. Because I was going to park, and I looked at the curb. They're like, you're going to have to go up this little ramp, and the ramp was four little blocks of wood that they put in front of the curb. And I was like, you want me to back in here? Because my car's a little low to the ground.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
I don't want to lose my bumper parking in your front yard. I'm paying you $10 instead of $30 at the garage, but I don't want to lose my bumper here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
It is parky, no blocky. Well, sometimes there is blocky and you've got to leave your keys. And those are the houses I say, I'm good, thanks. I'm going to go find another house. Well, I've never experienced that. Sometimes they ask you, like, you can leave your keys and then we'll move the car. And I'm like, I'm okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
I know where they are pretending to live. I don't know that they actually live there. I haven't seen them go in and out of the house. And I don't know that my car will be there when I get back. I've been in situations where I go and I park and I come back and the house is a different color. And I just assume someone left their keys there and that car is gone. It's happened.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
Dan, when we were at the Super Bowl just this past year, we went in and it was clear glass windows. We came out the next day. When we went out clear glass windows, when we came back, that whole thing was wrapped and it looked like a giant beer can. Didn't even look like the hotel anymore. That's how quickly they can change appearances now. That's why you can't trust people and things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
Not even buildings. You're too involved. No. You're too loosey-goosey, if I'm going to be honest with you. Oh, Joe cools ass over here just walking around trusting the world. Must be nice. Must be nice to walk around here and just trust everyone and everything. How does this change colors?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
I don't know how they did it. You could smell the paint. I didn't say I smelled the paint.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
I don't believe your story. I didn't say that I smelled the paint. I didn't say it was painted.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
I said I left, I came back, different color. That's not true. And I didn't leave my keys at the house that day. I said, you know what? If it gets blocked... I'll deal with it when I get back. I'm not leaving my keys here. And I'm glad I didn't. Because guess what? When I left, I could go right out. A car was there that was moved.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
I don't know how or why they were trying to do what or how they were doing. I'm just saying I didn't get got. And it's because I was vigilant.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
What do you mean? Nobody painted their house to steal your car. I didn't say they painted the house. I said it was one color when I was there, a different color when I got back. I don't know what happened. Games are long. Three hours. They were shorter last year. This year they seem to be getting long again, if I'm going to be honest with you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
Baseball was fixed, and I don't know what they did, but someone was tinkering with something where the length of these games is getting long again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
Do you think he lost it between when he got here and now?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
Not surprised at all. I told you guys just yesterday, no one wanted to listen to me, and everyone started scoffing at me when I told you. Dodgers aren't fun to watch. They score 15 runs every day. What happened last night? 15-2, they beat the Marlins. Guess who didn't stay up until 1 in the morning to watch that? Me. I knew exactly what was going to happen, and I told you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
And then Jeremy and all these mouthpieces out here telling you, no, it's not going to happen, it's not the situation here. I'm happily married. The Dodgers, they're not that exciting. They're not going to score that many runs. Sure enough, same night, 15 runs. Quique Hernandez is on in the last inning, pitching with a pitcher's helmet. What is this? Youth League softball? Pitcher's helmet?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The House Was a Different Color
Games are lasting one minute longer this year than last year. Told you. See? I was right. Thank you.

The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
No. Only one of us had to sit down. It wouldn't have been both of us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
You have to understand what was happening because time was standing still because Dan had a lot of pockets. He also was going through his wallet. He still has this old fashioned wallet with a bunch of different slots in it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
And everyone is panicked except my girlfriend who's out looking for the ticket. I'm making sure that we can get Dan in because you have to understand the background of this whole Pearl Jam concert. This was a major thing for Valerie's birthday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
And it was crumbling in front of our very eyes because Dan lost the ticket and the show was about to start because we had inside information that at 849 is when lights are out and when it starts. And Zaslow... wants to be there. Valerie wants to be there. And Dan is standing there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
Samson, you've been firing Riley the last couple of days. Well, I simply it's not about firing Pat. It's about him understanding that it's time. And it's a tough thing when you've got someone like Pat Riley, because he's never going to get fired by Mickey Harris. And we know that is true. But at some point, you have to do a self-evaluation and say that what we're doing simply is not working.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
And the way we've constructed this roster is not working. And adding a third star to Bam and Hero, that is not going to be enough. And you therefore have to admit it. And I think it's time. And frankly, Spolstra looked terrible. He we talk about the fact that he acknowledged how embarrassed he was. He just for whatever issues he's having on or off the court, he looks beaten.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
And many managers, this happens to them and coaches. It happens to them. It's a really hard job. The Popovich's are really few and far between. It is time, I believe, for a fresh start in Miami and a fresh set of eyes and ears and voices. And that's not an indictment, Chris Cody, at all. It's been the greatest run you've had, dare I say, in South Florida sports history. It is an indictment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
because all runs come to an end and that's just a fact and for people not to recognize that or realize that it's like holding on to a sixth grade t-shirt in the top shelf of your closet and singing glory days david considering how many times riley over the 30 years here has been able to remake this team and have success why would you believe that he can't do it here
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
because I believe that his time has passed and that's not an ageist thought. It's actually, I don't want to spoil this. I actually, I'm not going to be irresponsible and be a journalist in this way. I will only say this, that what owner's job is at the end of the day, it's not to make fans happy. It's not to have great ballparks with great concessions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
What an owner's job is to win while the value of their asset increases. That's it. And what Mickey Arison has done is both. But when one stops, which is the winning, the Heat were a 10 seed, a below 500 team. They are overmatched. Forget what you think happened in the Cavaliers series and how pissed off Poppy is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
They have no path to competitiveness with this current administration and this current team. And as an owner, you've got to recognize that. That's, no. Giannis himself will not make a difference for this Heat team. What? Who are you going to get? Wait, wait a minute. Are you getting Giannis as a free agent? Just getting Giannis.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
But what do you have to get rid of to get him? Milwaukee? Mediocre?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
I'm going to tell you, Zazz, it's the ability to actually rebuild, which the Heat have never been willing to do. They've never been willing to understand that you may have to take three steps back and not be in the middle. Pat Riley would tell you himself, Being a 10 seed or a 7 seed, it's the worst place to be in any sport.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
I'm trying to think of the NBA coaches who have won championships who don't have jobs now. What's that stat, Jeremy? I believe that every NBA coach of a champion in the last four years, I think one still has the job. I think I may have. I may have. Maybe I think it's five.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
I don't think that anyone would say if the Heat move on from one or two of Bam, Tyler, Pat, or Eric, that they're being panicky. I just don't think that would be the narrative surrounding those moves.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
Oh, I'm not, I wouldn't say it's against his will. And that's why I wouldn't say that it would be a firing down. What I said is it's an acknowledgement by the heat, which are defined as Mickey and Pat and Nick. that it is time to go a different direction with a different voice. And I think that that is what they do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
And by the way, Bam Adebayo, if you look at his salary, Jeremy, I believe he has three years left and it goes like 50, 51, 59 in the last three years of his deal. I hear that you're saying he's all NBA and I understand there are a lot of overpaid players, but do you have him as that type of player?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
Where are you as the Heat, though, if you replace Giannis with Bam? You replace Bam with Giannis. You're incremental between Bam and Giannis.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
I'm not sure I recollect it that way, but I do know that I enjoyed watching you at the Pearl Jam concert. The only issue I had is as and we talked about whether we should stand at concerts when we did show together last week. But what I didn't realize is that I was not going to hear Eddie Vedder the entire night. All I heard was your voice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
Let me just try to get through this. And there is a real problem with what's happening in the tariffs, not just in the economy. What's happening is that companies are trying to figure out, they're going to pass on the increased expenses to the customer. We are all gonna suffer because of the tariffs. The question is, how do you quantify it? Amazon said, we have an idea.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
We're gonna put the amount of money that these tariffs are increasing the cost of your product, and we're gonna put it right there on the page. The White House got word of this and they lost their minds. There was a quick phone call and a quick meeting which said, Hey, Jeff, here's an idea.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
You may want to cancel this plan because we're going to crush you because we've lost three legs of the tripod. And as the executive branch, we're now in a position where we can make your life miserable. You want tax on the rich? We're going to do it. Then Amazon, 20 minutes later, second statement, hey, that was a division of Amazon. No idea what anyone was talking about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
We're not going to identify what the tariffs are doing and the impact they're having on the prices of the products.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
it was a faster retreat than you saw in the 1700s and what does it mean it means that we are now in a place where there is fear that is ruling individuals corporations and those who run the corporations and it will cost us make no mistake the companies that you do business with will not take on the cost of these tariffs by themselves it's maddening they will
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
It's guaranteed to happen. And you're watching it happen right now. I have an Amazon package waiting for me and I'm just seeing how expensive the toilet paper is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
I had metal art people, Dan, at the apartment where I'm doing show right now, and they were doing the lights. And they said, listen, is there anything you can do about the brown boxes of tissues, toilet paper, Clorox wipes, and paper towels that were in the way of the lights flashing properly off the walls? And I said, hey, it's a New York apartment. There's nothing I can do about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
every word every song in my ear and i didn't know what to do i thought of an elbow i thought of ear plugs i thought of switching seats but i didn't have a seat it was a whole magilla but your voice is mediocre why didn't you have a seat because levitard is is outrageous do you understand what happened What happened is we had tickets and they were hard tickets, actual tickets, not on the phone.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
And they said, and these are great IT people, they said, why do you have so much stuff? Like, are you worried about the apocalypse? And I said, no, I've always been a bulk guy. I can't deal with the people. There's two types of people, those who run out of toilet paper and those who don't. And I am one who never runs out of toilet paper.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
Multiple, multiple big brown boxes of toilet paper.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
That's apocalypse hoarding. I am a hoarder of products having nothing to do with the pandemic. This was way before. I never panicked during the pandemic because I always have supplies ready to roll. When do you redo? How low on your 200 before you reorder? It's a rotate. And when there's a hole in where I store stuff, I refill from the back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
Tickets were distributed to each of the people in our party about an hour and a half prior to the concert. When it came time to enter the venue and show the ticket, Dan Levitard says, Sorry, I can't find my ticket. He lost his ticket, which would have kept him out of the concert. He was there for his wife for her birthday. So my girlfriend has to go looking in a casino for his ticket.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
Doesn't find it. And I'm forced to get him in because I knew security people at the concert.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
So Dan gets into the concert. There are eight of us for only seven tickets. So we squeeze in and all of a sudden there's this guy standing where our seat is. And I, no one else said a word. Dan is just sort of standing there with his eyes half open. And I said, excuse me, this is not your seat. And what does this man do? Oh, he showed the ticket.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
he showed the ticket that was dan's ticket because who else has a physical ticket like obviously it's dan's ticket he found it on the floor of a slot machine or a craps table and he said oh i guess i've got a ticket to the concert and he shows up legitimate ticket goes to his seat and i look like a jackass because i said to the guy who actually was quite built and quite strong and i was it was sort of a janice halliburton situation
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
I said, this is not your seat. And he shows me the ticket. And I had to do tail between the legs and turn around and do a 180. Oh, you got to call him out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
I did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
Give it to Valerie. I'm not going to enable that sort of behavior. You've got to be able to hold on to a ticket And this is, of course, after I'd run into Dan only 45 minutes before that with $5 chips falling out of his hand because he had like, he was the guy, oh, color change? Oh no, I'm okay here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
So like- Walked away with like $100, well, probably more than $100 worth, but just arms full of $5 chips.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
I refuse to take any blame in this. What I know is, is that I had to share one seat with Cara and it was fine because we're both relatively small. But you have to picture sharing one seat next to Zaslow, who, by the way, very impressive, knows every word to every song.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
But I will point out that what did happen during the course of the concert when I was had Zaslo my left ear, I was glaring far more not toward Eddie Vedder. I was glaring at this guy the entire time. Like I was dressing him down.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
Oh, it was some good side eye.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
There was no better seat, I would point out, which we which we did for Zaslow and for Dan, you and your wife. But he left what I perceive to be in shame because of all the side eyes. But he did get the first hour of a Pearl Jam concert and really good seats. And I'd like to go through what was in his mind upon finding this ticket when all over Hard Rock. where people say, you got one?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
Anybody got one? You got two? I got, people were trying to buy tickets and there was not one ticket available. And there comes row and like right. Perfect. Right. It's like mana from heaven. And he says, what do I do with this?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
And the guy goes to the concert, doesn't sell it, doesn't return the ticket, which, of course, is what in a dream world you would do is say, oh, I think somebody dropped this. That didn't quite happen. He just went into the venue.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
He knows what he did. I love where your head's at because he left. I thought of that during the show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
If he had stayed the whole time and like wanted a selfie with Dan because he happened to buy a ticket that he found himself right next to the biggest celebrity, second biggest behind Chelios, but one of the biggest celebrities in the crowd, I assume he would have wanted an autograph, maybe a photo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
Give me a player comp on this guy. Who did this guy look like? He looked like Tony from Survivor 28, the winner of the season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
And it wasn't. wasn't just one phone light what we did is we sort of surrounded him and each of us had our phone lights on it and then we were looking at the other tickets making sure that it was numerically in order it was so obvious that he had done something that he should not have done because he didn't own up to it I would have respected if he had just said dude I found this on the ground
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
I didn't know it was yours, but now it's mine. He stayed silent other than to say it's my ticket.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
No, no, not true. Because we already discussed it that Kara would not have gone to the concert. It was your moment with your wife for her birthday and that she would have given up her ticket. I was thinking Zazz's kid doesn't go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers (feat. David Samson)
Oh, yeah. No, we had the conversation. So much happened, Dan, while you were here. You have to understand what Dan was doing. There were seven people staring at him saying, where's your ticket? That's right. His wife was getting anxious.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
This is not what I expected. I'm very much looking forward to the reveal of these next two t-shirts. I do believe, I don't remember the specifics of the story, but I have a general recall of having the feeling that it would be bad judgment at Zaslow's wife's wedding day to bring someone who stands out over the wife physically. In the room and in her husband's eyes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
In her husband's eyes, I think was the greatest problem. And so I have a general recall of thinking to myself, I feel like that was close to happening and then it was pulled back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

disagree with that i know that clay thompson wants to be top 75 and scotty pippen doesn't like anyone who puts him outside the top 50 but if i put that sound in the top 50 of sounds of all time does anyone argue with me top 50 no it's definitely top 50 yeah that's definitely top 50

Is it the good, bad, and the ugly? It's a Western of some sort, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
I want to get into a couple of things, Amin, with you about what happened last night. Halliburton's dad, this plague of dads in the NBA who are living vicariously through their kids. The Pacers are really fun. Be curious whether you think Halliburton or Siakam is their best player. I like both of them a great deal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
I think Siakam is underrated, and I think it's insulting to say to Halliburton that he's the most overrated player in the league. But that's a fun team that knocked Giannis out, and now Milwaukee is in disarray. And it ends with Giannis confronting a dad who has crossed the line.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
No, he had a press conference. He said he was embarrassed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
I'm not arguing security did its job well. I'm arguing you cannot have an adult human being who is the father of an NBA player being such a child that he feels comfortable standing in front of a 6'10 giant feeling like he can talk to him disrespectfully when he's steaming because he's a champion and his franchise has just fallen apart and the game ended that way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
Yeah, that was embarrassing, Papi. It's humiliating.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
If Giannis had head-butted that man, Giannis would have been in trouble and I would have been like, I understand that Giannis is really frustrated right now and nobody needs to be around him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
I would not have blamed Giannis at all if he had pushed that old man seven rows deep. I'm not kidding you. A seven rows deep into all those people.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
You think a player's strong enough to do what he physically did when he was the only player the Pacers were worried about last night? A player, by the way, that every franchise in the league should want to trade everyone for. Like, there are five like that on earth. Just not Bam. You want to have one of those.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
All right, Halliburton did that to Giannis at the end of the game. Did it at the rim. I don't think a pacer has done that since Paul George against LeBron. Like, you don't get those shots at the rim at the end of games. Like, that's a... That's a breakdown in Milwaukee that will have Doc Rivers confused for the remainder of the offseason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
And afterwards said on Twitter, because he doesn't mind being a villain, overrate that because I understand how happy the Halliburtons were. And I also would understand...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
Backed by Tony, who's saying dad stood on business if dad was then not standing on business because Giannis had grabbed him by the ankles and not unlike a discus thrower, spun around and threw that old man 90 rows deep like he deserved to be thrown because I don't care how happy he is for his son. You don't go after the 6'10 giant on the other team who just had the franchise collapse on his neck.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
Oh, Giannis threw Halliburton's dad into the stands. Giannis frisbeed Halliburton's old man into the popcorn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
It's neither the discus nor the shot put.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
I have Giannis spinning around from midcourt and launching something further than a t-shirt cannon does. And what is it? It's Halliburton's old man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
What are you guys talking about? Dad stood on business.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
There are Halliburton heads rolling. Papa Halliburton's bowling pins. The gorilla's just rolling 100 heads down the street. Idiot heads that got in his face.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
Yes. Yes. It was an embarrassing season, Papi. You were caught on the Jumbotron eating. Did anyone tell you that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
So no embarrassment about that? Like that they caught you with your fingers in your mouth?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
Yeah, it's true. It's true. You do have to do something there. You have to stop them from doing that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
All right, Bobby, what are you going to do? Mom said that she was thinking about not renewing the season tickets, and then she told me she is renewing the season tickets, but she doesn't like going with you anymore because you're complaining too much.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
Okay, yeah, from the loss a couple of days ago, yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
Okay, well, the game was less than three days ago, so you were not sleeping before the game, and then it was a very embarrassing weekend.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
That's not true in any way, Bobby. There's not a ball of wax, and Mickey Harrison did not leave the arena wearing a mustache.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
Guys, Poppy's saying things about the heat I've never heard him say before. papi who claims to be heat fan i've been with the heat forever i've been with the heat since lebron got here my father uh is done with people he hasn't been done with before saslo for instance who i mean everybody everybody well who so you're telling me there are people he has not gotten rid of on this team
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
My father's reporting that Mickey Harrison left the arena in a wig and a mustache and sunglasses. That's an official Levitard report. Put it on the crawl. Put it on the crawl. My father is reporting officially to the country with the Levitard stamp on it that he saw Mickey Harrison leaving the arena the other night in a mustache, a wig, and sunglasses. Like a ball of wax. Investigative reporting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
What happened to your timing with Amin there, Zaz?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
Zazlo came in with some of his rattiest attire. I asked him to bring in the three worst things from his closet that his wife hates the most because they're the oldest things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
Over the years, yes, yes. But that's the only reason they're leaving the house. She's giving so many. It's not a we are giving those away. You would never give those away. Those would keep stacking up in all of the closets of your house.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
Because your wife doesn't want them in the house anymore and would set them on bonfire in the back of the house if she could.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
There's like one white W shirt. Let's do the entirety of this, though. How many shirts? What have you brought in? It's all in three. It's all T-shirts. Yeah. And my hypothesis is it started with me saying that I think he's got shirts in his closet that are older than Greg Cody. And while I'm joking about that, I do believe there's the possibility that he unleashes something from 1988 in here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
Like, I believe that. I mean, I was seven years old. Why would I hold on to that? Because you're that weird. It's going to fit my arm. Well, because if not for your wife, you would have every shirt you'd collected since that age. She hates it. She sent all of this stuff out of the house. I'm like, why?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
This is a memorabilia off. I've got you beat. Anthony Mason does indeed trump Glenn Rice, but not by much. Both pathetic. Rest in peace.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
Come on. Billy, the oldest garment in your home from Marlins, shirts given away at stadiums?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
How much of this is going on around here? Because, Chris Cody, I am guessing your wife has got a t-shirt cannon that she is just blowing things out of the house like a leaf blower with because you've got so much crap she doesn't want in the house because you're your father's son.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
It's everybody. He doesn't want the team to be anymore what it is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
But in the corner, wait, is there a do not touch? Excuse me, is there a do not touch?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
Whoa. Did I get shot? What was that about? It seems disruptive. What just happened there? Wild Billy Wednesday. Yeah, you mentioned that. Who is that? I don't know what that was, but it's a lesser voice than all the other ones that we've paid for professionally around here that are better than that one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
Look, I don't know what's happening with my parents and these tickets, but I will say to you that the heat streak is in jeopardy next season because they've been selling out the place for a long time. And the big story from last night, I think if we're going to be transaction heavy, is Giannis producing that game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
and losing and being eliminated by a Pacers team that doesn't have a player as good as him. And that is a structural problem, management problem, not able to keep a champion around him problem. And he's been passed in a way that his excellence... The window's closing on his excellence. This is the back end of his prime, is it not?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
I'm not even saying, I'm knowing that statistically you're looking at somebody who's looking as good as he's ever been, but there has to be a descent from here, correct?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
Okay, I'm not saying he's not great. Not my intention. My point is, as great as he is, he can't be losing in the first round. That doesn't lose in the first round when it's that great. That's a structural issue.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
Well, he won a playoff game, but the stats... That's what I said. He can't win a playoff game. But he did win a playoff game. Where did we come up with a? He likes doing that as... What?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
No, Mike Ryan stole that from Zaslow. That is a Zaslow original.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Let's Call Papi
That is not—Mike Ryan won't claim, ah, I think Whittingham stole it from Zaslow, too. That should be a patented catchphrase. That should be copyrighted by Zaslow. Anyone else in the market has stolen it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
What are you smiling about, Taslo?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Can you guys find video, please, of Amin racing Pablo and whoever else it was when we did those races outside of the Clevelander that were a liability risk and eventually ESPN took them away from us?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
But Marino was wildly famous at the time. Marino's not three-time Pro Bowler Brian Arakbo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
I don't know. Find out for me what he said, because he might not have been a three-time Pro Bowler. I think they might have actually given him more Pro Bowls in the commercial than he actually had, just because they were false advertising, I feel like.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
OJ is the first. This is the first commercial of this kind we're talking about. They're imagining you running through an airport looking like the first commercial there was anywhere on television for anything involving someone from sports.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
that David Sampson, by virtue of being in billionaire company, would have a better ticket guy than I have, but he said he couldn't get Pearl Jam tickets in a week and couldn't necessarily get good tickets... And I think I can.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
I don't think. You are all pro. Thank you. Please look up whether he was actually an all pro.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
I felt like I thought the reason I'm remembering a commercial from 20 years ago is because they also got it wrong.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
I thought he was a pro bowler and not an all pro.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
They're wrong. That's correct. This is the part I'm getting to. I don't understand why everybody still don't know. And I'm like, no, the reason that it's funny is not merely because Andrew Luck is over-enunciating, introducing to an audience, here's this person with a funny name.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Not thank you, Mr. Dutz. He's not an all-pro. It's also wrong. So it's not merely that they're introducing him to the audience to sell something. They're doing so incorrectly. It's the reason that I remember that commercial.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
The thing that I was trying to get to here with the rest of you is I legitimately feel bad for Mike Ryan, who has left the show in disgrace today because he went viral yesterday the way that he went viral.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Let's get David back on to negotiate free work from Zaslow on behalf of the company if indeed this is something that he can execute. I don't think people understand what a hard thing David Sampson just did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
This is difficult. Look, locally, Pearl Jam does not play. Never. And Pearl Jam is at the end of this. And my wife and I have gone and seen Pearl Jam. I'm excited that you're going. We don't think they're going to play much anymore. And Zaslow cares about Pearl Jam more than I know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
That's what it says to God's successful readers. The audience. The audience didn't know, Dan. As a successful wearer of Pearl Jam, you have much Pearl Jam gear? I have much Pearl Jam gear. Well, we've got to negotiate on air then, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
The thing that I was beginning to say about the things happening at our company, because Samson's getting more and more power, and we've got to be careful about that. Well, you have to. Everybody needs to be. Everybody needs to be. Because what are you giving me the thumbs up about?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
So can you do better? I'm trying. Are you? I have not yet begun to try, but I'm guessing that I could. Well, what's better? I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Well, but let's negotiate this. Let's watch Samson in negotiation. But before I do that, because I just do want to get to the thing I was saying, I feel bad because Mike Ryan left the show. I don't know why he left the show today. But there was shame involved for him yesterday in going viral in a costume.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
And one of the reasons that John Amici is here wrestling David Sampson to make sure that our company is run correctly so that everybody feels cared for is at least in part because we're trying to make the show better than it has been.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
And because costumes around here are not something that anyone will wear, even though a bunch of people own a bunch of different punishments and our customers want costumes. And yesterday, by accident, Mike Ryan wearing a costume went viral, which is my favorite thing. I think we should give bonuses, David, when anybody goes viral wearing a costume. But it wasn't as he intended.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
He was just wearing a ridiculous shirt. And so what ended up happening is he comes after Ryan Clark and Ryan Clark got some information wrong. Mike sounded pompous, but Mike was also right. But Mike was wearing a ridiculous shirt. So can you guys put up, please, the video of or I'm sorry, the picture of the shirt that Mike Ryan was wearing? Yeah. And so you guys...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
But you guys can see why that would be embarrassing. He looks stupid.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
From a guy wearing a Pearl Jam sweater.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
All right, so start the negotiation, Samson. Let's watch you negotiate. How much free work are you... You've got the tickets? You've got them secured?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Have you ever heard anyone refer to underwear as skivvies at Levitard Show?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
You want him to try a third time? I appreciate that you're treating him like a trained monkey here, but I would like for you guys to actually negotiate.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Yeah. You've been... You come in here today, use our platform to grovel.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
I mean, you're right to coach him this way. But if we were to test sort of how Zaslow feels about things, however much he loves Pearl Jam is how much he hates David Sampson saving money on the Marlins.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Please stop pushing him. Please, please. Always asking for more. He cannot help. He cannot help. It's going to say it on his tombstone. Always asking for more. I don't understand. Before we get to Zazzler, this is what I don't understand. Perhaps our crack training team here will explain to me what happened.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Please explain to me how in the other room Tony wants to throw it to a song and surprises an executive producer with a thick song who's still looking for it because they didn't coordinate to play that song like producers would as Tony was talking about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Samson, I need your help here. Close this out. Get him Pearl Jam tickets, and what does it cost? How much does he have to work for free?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
David, why are you starting so low, David?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
You're coming in very cheap, David. I'm coming in to close.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
I've got to stop everybody here. Roy, you're as disappointed as I am here, right? Don't do that. Do you know how much Zaslow would give up to have this? I said six months. Having him come in here a few times. Not a chore either. Love coming in here. Love it. I don't have any idea. Samson, are you going to be negotiating on behalf of Metal Ark? I need you to not be if that's how poorly you do it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
But wait a minute. So I feel like I can get the second night. This is what it's talking about. I feel... But wait. But how much... What's legal here, David? I already told my guy, forget it. In terms of how... He didn't have a guy. Stugatz was going to be the hero. But...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
But he's unselfish. He's unselfish. What can I do here to get the payoff? All right. Are you here tomorrow? Yeah. For free. David, are there legalities involved here? Because I don't feel like you negotiated that very well. I feel like we could get— Someone committing a crime? Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Well, I just feel like I'm just stunned that David came in so low on something that he got when the return he could have gotten is free work from an employee. Maybe he appreciates that I'm a nice boy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Zaslow would work for free for a year for this company in exchange for what you're offering him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
His lip is quivering. Look, I've known Zaslow for a long time. I've known Zaslow's crazy for a long time. There is nothing in the world he is as crazy about as Pearl Chan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Is anyone here aware, as we did everything that we did there with Pablo and Samson, I've never seen Samson laugh like that. He was spasming. It was real emotion. He was violently spasming because he knows how funny it is that I was apologizing for something that embarrassed me and then I did it again. And I'm not sure the audience or you guys still remember
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
I knew exactly what you were going to say. I did too, but he had to throw in Fred McGriff after. It sounded like any better.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
I mean, you're doing this very poorly. I'm going to have to stop you for a number of different reasons, including that you're doing this very poorly. Am I?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
The question is, Zaslow, who do you love more, Pearl Jam or the Heat?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Two-time champion broadcaster.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
What an asshole. He can't just take what's there. He has to always ask for more. Just say your wife for crying out loud. Of course, my wife.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
The better way to ask that question is, who do you like better, the heat or your wife? Because then he can just...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Yes. A play-in game. A build-up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
I actually want to see if David Sampson can negotiate how much free work out of Zazz in exchange for free Pearl Jam tickets. I want to ask you guys two questions. One starts with... Last segment. I hope my wife's not listening. She's not. I assure you, she's not. The last segment, okay, Roy and Zazz, I wanted to carry us into hockey playoffs. Here they come. What a magical time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
You and I were ready to sit back and watch two guys talk puck. We were going to watch Roy and Zaz cook. And Roy decided to do a lot of analysis in against the spread that gave us the start to some hockey. But all Zazlo gave us while I was trying to get, let's Panthers lightning. They hate each other. Let's see what we could get there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
I felt off of my partner of 20 years here that Stugatz felt the same thing that I did, which is we were tossing a lob to Zaslow and we were going to watch the boys work for a while. And then both Stugatz and I got confused by... Get that ass took. Yeah. As analysis. Yeah. As analysis. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Yeah. The hockey show sometimes on Friday, like they break it down and they'll explain to you what's happening between Tampa and Florida. But get that ass took. Yeah. It's not helpful. It just wasn't helpful.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
know what it is that I was apologizing for. No idea. In the dog den.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Again, the taking of the ass. Why take it? You know exactly what he means.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
It's not analysis. You have to take it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Two asses. Cutting it up. I remember when Tampa was the ass taker.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
They're claiming that no ass was taken last night. That it was just 5-1 Tampa and it doesn't matter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Understood. It's still Tampa.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Yeah, yeah. I can't believe I'm sitting in the middle of a market where I just saw our resident legend radio hockey people have the back and forth efficient exchange of Tampa. So? What do you mean Tampa's so? Tampa's been a haunt. They've been a haunting franchise that made you completely change everything that you were doing blueprint-wise because they've owned Florida.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
A lot of people were confused earlier this week by something that I said because we were making fun of the Peabody Award. And the Peabody Award is a very prestigious award.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
For the last seven years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Their time is done. Yes. You understand how I'm watching basketball and everyone's still here saying, I don't know about LeBron. I don't know about Steph. And both of you are like Tampa so. Are you? You can't look at me in the face, see what this franchise has done for 30 years, and go Tampa so. I bet you Zaslo can.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Something happened yesterday on the show that I need to show the audience because it's the reason that John Amici, John Amici, a hero of mine for a lot of reasons, is braving customs and everything else to fly in here and make sure that our company is protected during a prosperous time and so that we can do all the corporate exorcism around here we have to do so that David Sampson cannot win.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
He cannot be the one who wins at the end. It has to be the rest of us that win. It cannot be David Sampson.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
So you were apologizing to the Peabody? No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
He comes right in the way Amin catches the red eye. And he's Uber driver. Launching like just. I wish I had video of you running through that airport.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Like OJ. From Golden State Memphis to get to this thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
So no one still, as we do this, no one understands what I'm embarrassed about, what I'm apologizing for, and Zaslow still doesn't know the truth of why it is Pablo would be mad at me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Are we allowed to play that commercial? I think that's so, that commercial is so old that I don't believe that many people listening to this have any idea what you're talking about. But it's like one of, it might be the first famous sports commercial.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
I bet you we can do a whole show about all of those because that happens a lot. Hell, they put Tua in uniform because nobody was going to recognize him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
He has no business being in a commercial. He's not the one. In that commercial, they had to say, hey, look, it's three-time pro bowler Brian Arakpo or whatever it was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Panthers Are Taking That Ass
Yeah. But we can play the game. If we open that up right now to the audience and had something live to interact with the audience, you'd get 50 funny ones like that. Because commercials have to do that all the time when they want to go to sports for sponsorship, but they're going to somebody who doesn't cross over.

Hour 1: Dan Is Not Well
Pablo, Pablo, one more question. One more question, Pablo. Have you ever done an episode? Oh, come on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

If he's ever done an episode on helping a friend get tickets. Come on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Is Not Well
Look, it's been a year. They can come get that ass took, all right? Let's go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Is Not Well
All right, but it's not bullshit, though, because the NBA last night is showing you they're a good product when the players try. Like, it's not bullshit. Well, when they play.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Is Not Well
I don't think we've mentioned this yet today. Golden State and Memphis last night, great game overall. Has there ever been a more anticlimactic finish?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Is Not Well
Oh, David has a ticket. Let's get right to it. He has a ticket.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Is Not Well
On television, it was brutal. Brutal. Five seconds.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Is Not Well
Oh, yeah. What are we weighing here? Like, what's what are we talking about?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Is Not Well
And it's not that I'm disorganized. It's that I don't want to have to count on someone else. Like I, I'd like to get it done myself and I have failed. I have failed miserably. So now I need help.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Is Not Well
No, that's fair, but you got to weigh, it's sitting up top, and am I also able to pay $2,000?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Is Not Well
I'll work for free this week if that happens.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Is Not Well
Two shows, Thursday and Saturday. Two shows, two shows. Two shows, Thursday, Saturday. Thursday and Saturday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Is Not Well
Oh no, I need to go to both shows. But you need two tickets to each show, right? Yeah, how do I not take my son? He loves them too. My son!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Is Not Well
No, I would accept just one. See, this is what happens. You do the arbitrage thing. No, I'm not going to be a schnurrer. If you presented me with one ticket, I'm very happy about that. Very.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Is Not Well
Is this someone who is greedy, doesn't appreciate? Me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dan Is Not Well
Well, I read it yesterday on Barrett Sports Media and the tone of the article was very much, Dan is really mad at Pablo Torre.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
But I'm telling you why I'm rooting for it because it's going to be real confusing in your personal record book to do whatever it is that you're going to do. James Harden. You're going to get a part two on James Harden.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Make sure, Stan, But what are you going to do if the championship is won by James Harden drilling a bunch of important buzzer beaters because they've got two other guys out there to make you not worry about James Harden?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Well, he hired you, and legends of such strength. that Amin Elhassan, one of our giant personalities around here, is flying in with emergency desperation from the Memphis Golden State game that he was at last night, which is great, by the way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Yes, he had some options. He had some options after he was bought out, and he chose the Clippers. He didn't have to choose the Clippers. There were reasons. I assume that it's real estate and location-based.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
I don't know if he thinks or thought that they could surprise some people, but what do you think of my contentions as that if the Clippers won the championship, they would be the single most surprising champion in the history of the league? Whew!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
win four playoff series not cumulative over his career no no in one postseason he's done it twice I saw him do it once I saw him do it as the primary piece once and I saw him do it with LeBron looking over his shoulder waiting for him to come off the bench and being scared at 25 the first time
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Just great. Takes everything Steph and Jimmy got to take out finger guns. Amin flies in with desperation. An urgency to come and bring us the information from last night's game, but has to step aside for the legendary Zaslow so that he can interact with the legendary Stugant. And I don't love that for Amin. I've got to be honest. We all have to sacrifice. I don't love that Amin's not there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
I do have to stop you just for a second. We'll get to the second biggest surprise. He's rolling. No, I just want to clearly understand what he said because the information is good. You surprised even a radio legend. No, he knew. No, no. He was going to say it. He said he was going to say it. I feel like he might have been lying. What?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Warriors. So, yeah. So, you know what? I'm sorry. I'm going to have to do this for the first time. I regret doing this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
I need to find it here. I need to find out where it is. No, that's not it. Celebrating him? No, that's not what I meant to do. No, that's the wrong thing. I'm sorry. No, here it is. I found it. You dropped a doogie. Yes, thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
I just want to better understand what Amin was saying there because I think the audience received it the same way I did. How can you say with a straight face to us that the most surprising team in NBA history is the blackest team in NBA history? You can't say that. I mean, it's something Mad Dog would say. You can't say, you cannot say that publicly. Emphasis on history. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
You can't say that the most surprising team in NBA, put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Can you say the most surprising team in NBA history is the blackest team in NBA history? That can't be a surprise.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
The 1975 Clippers did? They did, yeah. Warriors.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
It's not that I don't love Amin causing the chaos that Jessica causes in that seat. I'm just saying that I don't know whether Amin is hurt or not by Jonathan Zaslow, someone that he perhaps doesn't know that well. Jonathan Zaslow, who wasn't available to us earlier this week because he's very busy with ESPN now. He was doing very busy ESPN things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Don Levitard. What is the worst part of the life? Stugatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
We have something I want to get to here with Zazz because I heard him and Stugatz negotiating and I think Stugatz is going to try to help Zazz with something that he may or may not help him with. It's going to be hard to help Zazz with something that he needs help with.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
I did want to tell you guys here that at some point today, I need you guys to remind me to apologize for what was one of the most embarrassing mistakes of my career this week. And it sort of escaped some notice, but I want to put it out in front of everybody so that everyone can see it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
And I can apologize for legitimately, I'm not making this up, one of the most embarrassing things that I've ever done that some of you may or may not have noticed that I have to get out in front of people and take the flogging on. Before I do that, though, Dan Dockich is really mad at me. Wow. Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
He also doesn't think that Eric Spolstra is a good coach. What?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
So, but when I say, I don't know why Dan Dockich is mad, I have that partially wrong. I could actually be lying in that circumstance because he's mad because there are people other than white people in the world. That's why he's mad. But when he's mad in this clip, I don't know what he's mad about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
I legitimately have not heard anything in this clip except that he's doing the best thing that you can do at the front of this clip, Sports Radio 101. He's got it mastered. You have to start what you're saying this way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Stugatz is being made happy here by Zaslow's presence. I see. He's really unloading the cannon from over there and then turning away with a flinch from me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Well, I mean, it's a big deal and was a big deal at ESPN, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Crumbs don't usually stain. Sausage. I think what he is talking about, I said at one point with that TikTok video that Florida was dancing around to, I thought that Dockage made some sort of point that you can't win a championship doing TikTok videos, which is, to be fair to me, Something Dockich would say. Checks out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
But I didn't say it about the right team because evidently, I don't know whether to believe him or not, he didn't say that about Florida. And I quoted him wrong. So I got the team wrong. You know what? Dan Dockich, everything you said is right. Wow. Wow. Wow. I got the team wrong. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
But everything I said about you not liking anyone who's not white is also right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
What were you and Zazz negotiating about because... Well, we're not negotiating.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
He didn't hear what you said. He was too busy talking. He didn't see you there because he's ready to do the show with Zaslav.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Five-minute major. Out. Great time. Game time is great for everything. Go find those tickets to Pearl Jam at game time. Out. I'll find them right now. Great time. Promo code Dan. Are you kidding me? This ESPN shit's going to your head so much that we say game time, you say the word no afterward?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
That's unbelievable what he just did. What are you promising him, Stugatz?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
GameTime is the best. We all know this. Zas is the worst. We've all known this for 20 years around here, if you've ever been in this market. He does things like that. He's a rebel. This is how he climbs at ESPN, who continues to feed all of these gas bags like Zaslow and give them more and more power, even though they have no respect for anything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
We have the best sponsors. They keep this whole thing afloat so that we can do this every day.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
I want to get to the embarrassing thing, and I want to talk a little more about this Pearl Jam thing, because I, too, am very excited that they're going to be this close. Two tickets. You're going with a friend. Maybe you split the tab. Maybe you Venmo them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Well, we'll talk about this a little bit with Zaslow, because I do have an unbelievable ticket guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
unbelievable right in that i have and this has only been happening over i would say the last three or four years where the the hardest stuff the taylor swift stuff and anything on a moment's notice i just can't believe that this thing exists right uh but i think i have the same guy do a couple of shots of jagermeister make sure they're ice cold though
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
That's a lot of work Amin is doing to get back here to Florida this morning for this show after being at Memphis Golden State last night. You must be beat up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
So I want to get to this with Zaslow, but please do not let me forget at any moment to remind. I'll do it within the next hour here that I owe an apology to somebody publicly for something that I did wrong. On this show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Well, no, no, no, no. I'm not saying that. I'm just telling you. I make the ask very infrequently. Like, I don't. Stugatz hasn't learned this lesson. I've been trying to teach it to him for years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Yeah, well, but OK, so you do that way and you keep asking and you often get your tickets. I ask people of power very, very, very infrequently for anything. And I maintain my relationships with those people in power because of how infrequently I ask for things. Stugatz is not built like that. And he sometimes gets tickets, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
I wouldn't mind having a competition with Stu Gotts about whose ticket guy is better. I love that competition.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
I doubt. Well, maybe. I am pretty confident. Well, if we have the same ticket guy, let's do it this way. I think I can say with 100% certainty as we sit here that I will get Zaslow a ticket. No. You know what? I can, but I might not. I can, but I might not. That's not 100%. No, no. No, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
You should take Zaslow. A lot of people would want the tickets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
He would, but he— That's what I'm trying to say. Exactly that is what I'm trying to say. I'm not promising Zaslow that I could correct this problem for him. I am telling the audience as a way of executing this competition with you about who has the better— How did it become a competition?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
But can you get them? I don't know. I told him, I don't know. Then we don't have the same ticket guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
No, I can get tickets. I know I can get tickets. Yes, yes. For me. And me. Well, but I don't make excessive asks of the people in power. I would do what Stugatz is doing here, where there's a line where I would ask for me. It would have to be hugely important. And now if I'm asking pluses, plus one, plus two, plus three.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
I'm going to do like a wedding list, wedding guest list of who's willing to be the best man type of list.

I can get a sports radio show right next to me that's just all Pearl Jam. It's what? Channel 23 on Sirius XM? Just all Pearl Jam.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Well, let's see, though, what it is that we can execute here, though, because do you believe that Stugatz will actually try for you or as soon as he leaves here, he will stop thinking about it? The dead are 23, by the way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
So you're not going to try anymore? I did try. I didn't go to the guy yet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
When will the B guy answer? Today. Okay. Come on. Can we do this already? Before the end of the show?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
When Stugat says there's a lot of pressure in being the ticket guy because he is right. Everyone I know believes I can get any ticket to sports there is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
In the world. You got two for the Super Bowl? Everybody I know thinks that I'm game time, that I can get any ticket. Dan, World Cup final next year. Which I can at game time. At game time, I can.

You made it from curbside to your plane in less than 15 minutes?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
I'm going to guess that whoever is your prime ticket guy is only your prime ticket guy because I got you tickets through that prime ticket guy. Who's my B guy? That's your B. Wow! Wait, wait, wait. My A guy is your B guy? I'm going to guess. The guy that got me tickets to Springsteen on Broadway?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
You know your B guy, I think, can get tickets because I presented you with that ability because you needed tickets for something. So I not only not have taken your request, I gave you, I think, the guy. There's no way that you would be able, before me, through this guy to get those tickets. No way. Not what I'm talking about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Look, am I going to Pearl Jam or not?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
We are bragging about A guys and B guys, but nobody's gotten him a ticket.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
What have you done so far? That's the thing. When he says I'm trying, there's nothing. There's nothing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Can you ever get... From the curb to a plane that is in flight within 20 minutes. All the time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
It's the thing that I am worried about there is the fact that they closed the doors early and the extra 10 minutes. Like, he did not have enough time to make that flight. That is not enough time. He made it. But were you running? Of course. I was like, OJ. And did you make it? Were they closing the door?

That can't be true. They don't. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Do you feel like all Uber drivers are confident? And what did you say? Oh, and do all Uber drivers have stories out the wazoo?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
No, I've had it closed on my face. Really? In fact, I've only missed one flight in my life because it was closed in my face. You said I'm Dan Levitard. No. I did not. It didn't do any good. It wouldn't have done any good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
I mean... Zaslow has a big problem that I want to get to, but I want to get to the game last night because... My God, they needed all of Jimmy Butler to be all the Jimmy Butler things to get past the team we know wasn't going to win the championship. That team of 30-year-old people are going to have to do an awful lot against teams a lot better than Memphis.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Shadow in it. Shadow in it. Chris, can you help me with something that I'm legitimately confused by as we talk right now? I was going to start right now by saying what a delightful treat to have in the studio at the same time Radio legends Jonathan Zaslow and Stugatz. I don't think they're normally in the same studio together. I cannot remember the last time. Have they ever worked together here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
But they got the one they needed last night to improve their seating. How much fun was that for you? Because Golden State is going to be one of the primary storylines until they're eliminated.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
No, but that's why they got Jimmy. I mean, the difference in that game is Jimmy and Steph get free throws and Ja didn't. Well, Ja got hurt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
point is that the Golden State Warriors have never had the player that gets to the free throw line. Clay and Steph have been great at making their free throws, but Jimmy Butler will go stop the game by just pump faking a couple of times and next thing you know, yes, jaw got hurt, but if you're going to win a game like that, Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry knock out John Morant.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
It can't be between those players that two of them on Golden State have 30 free throws and Memphis has three.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Oh, but this one's hugely interesting at the intersection of all the things changing in that sport. Is Gobert going to be able to play now or not? Is Edie going to be able to play this time of year or not?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
I went more than I went to the eight. No, I'm not asking that. I'm asking and have been asking since he was drafted. Hey, that can't play in the league anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Here comes Stugatz. I was just going to wonder, where's Stugatz? Because I don't think you two have worked together recently. We have.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Well, I want to do this with you guys because I believe there are at least a couple of teams in the West that have some of the ingredients that you would need to surprise an Oklahoma City team that I don't believe anybody in the West is nearly as good as. But the ingredients that you would have to have, I would say that Golden State has them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
And I would say this is what I'm rooting for, that the Clippers have it. You're big on the Clippers, man. I'll tell you why I'm rooting for the Clippers, beyond thinking they're exceptional. The reason I'm rooting for the Clippers is if that team wins the championship, we're going to have a hell of a confusing time figuring out where and how to put James Harden and Kawhi Leonard together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
in history's players because they've got a champion. Because James Harden has one championship and Kawhi Leonard has multiple championships. Three on three different teams? And then I would ask you the next question on that, why I'm rooting for this. If the Clippers win the championship, this is the question I've been wanting to ask Amin.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
If the Clippers win the championship, did they get the better of the trade with Oklahoma City, given that they erased laughingstock Clippers from the resume forever? Remember what the history of that team is. I mean, remember what the history of that team is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
And how many times have you done it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
How about at 790? Oh, yeah, yeah, a few times. Yeah, a couple times.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
I feel like Amin really, he really cornered us on that one. We all just had to be ignorant in his face. He's upset because he's in the other room and he now wants to embarrass the people in this one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
That's a good weakness to point out, but I do think you're kind of skipping over what Zubats has been because for those who do not know what is happening with the Clippers both offensively and defensively, because yes, you've seen Kawhi's resume. You've seen James Harden's resume. That's not why the Clippers are championship worthy this year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
Okay, so this is a gathering right now, a nostalgic gathering for people who have been listening to 790 since its inception of two legends.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Fat Dan Le Batard
It's done. Oh, that's the thing. They can get eliminated in the first round. I'm in a position for Stugatz to laugh at me if they lose in five games or Kawhi gets hurt. They're a fragile thing.

The Big Suey: The Hank Azaria Show With Not Stugotz
I think those were more memorable, but they had more matchups, especially with the marquee story in that sport. But to Amin's point... I mean, they also went to an IST final, however you want to downplay that. They got to a trophy final against LeBron James.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Hank Azaria Show With Not Stugotz
Yeah, I mean, they've done a fair amount of suffering already with this core.

But the reason... Okay, so yes, we mentioned that he had his best year. I was just saying we're headed into the 30s, and still I was saying you trade everything for him almost no matter who you are. And the reason is the same reason that the Celtics are unlikely to be able to rally against the Knicks because... You need a guy who breaks down everything the defense is going to do.

Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
And you can build around that. It's the most important thing that you would need from a player that is a centerpiece is somebody who is such a physical force that he can wreck everything you're trying to do on defense. And it doesn't matter if Max Struess is playing for Cleveland or the Heat or whatever. You can find four guys who can shoot around it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
I'm sorry, you said who would rally against the Knicks?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
I'm not sure. I've been watching this series just like you guys have been, but I'm not sure you've been watching the Knicks all season if you're confident that they can't lose the next two games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
The Knicks can very easily lose twice to the remains of this Boston.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Speaking of chickens, Roy has been nothing. He said, I'm a chicken. Chicken? Nothing. Zaz needs some work on the chicken.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
He's early. I'm getting used to this. He's trying to figure out how all this stuff works. Imagine how disorienting it is. You sit in the seat. You're just hanging out. And all of a sudden, everyone's talking like a chicken. He doesn't know how to do an impersonation of a chicken. So he explains just obviously, like all the bad impersonations, I'm a chicken.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
He was angry. He was bothered, and he does vigorously defend his son. We will see if he comes in tomorrow. He's also asking for a raise. Or you're an asshole. Well, why does it have to be either or? Why can't it be that I'm an asshole and he's asking for a raise?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
And by the way, like this part's not a joke, right? Zaslow is, I don't want to speak for him here. Go on. But he marvels at Greg Cody's lack of self-awareness.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
So I don't want to speak for you here. That's all you do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
So this is what I'm saying. They're always real and you're always left to wonder, is he serious or is this performative? I told Greg yesterday when he left, I told him, Greg, how is it after all this time, 20 years together?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
How do you not understand that you're angry is funny and there's nothing like it in like, Jackass did some of this when they, you know, it's a kid bothering his father. It's funny. And Greg mad? There's nothing funnier than Greg actually mad and forgetting that we're doing a show together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Well, so let's take people behind the scene on when the cast members don't know what's bit and what's real. What I'm telling you with Greg Cody, whether it's the hard network out or him getting mad, all that's real. Greg doesn't know that we're bleeping with him. Greg does this show as serious sports radio person who has no idea.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
He does not think that Billy is agreeing with him because Billy is somebody who's doing show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
The curtain is there for some reason. Thank you, guys. You are absolutely right to correct me on that. Sometimes I don't know when we're doing show and when we're not doing show. I'm glad you said it. Because when I came in here today and Billy said I was an asshole. Kind of, I said.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
It seems like the kind of colorful, sugary excess that you would find at Little Caesars because what do I want with my cheese? Just a candy drink that's carbonated and tastes like mango. I don't put it on the poll at Levitard Show because I think everyone winks the same way. Does mango Mountain Dew sound good to you? Because the sound of it does not sound good. We all winced.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Before we answer that question, just real quick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
I am not. I have rarely been more embarrassed than the first thing that happened when we left ESPN is everyone here started panhandling on Cameo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Whoa, you stumbled onto another wild Billy Wednesday. Hold on to your hats, partners. It's about to get wild. I've worked for 15 years with Billy Gill, and he has never said what he came in here today and said to me boldly. Just not in any way fearful, emboldened, I think, by the fact that Amin came in screaming at me, yelling. Remember, Dan, when you thought the Thunder were done after game one?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
So much money. Christmas was fun. But Zaslow just got here, and so he's asking you for tips. How does he greedily take advantage of the audience immediately? He waited about 10 days before asking. You're going to fit right in here, buddy. That's what that chair does right there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
No, it's a plague around here. It's just a plague. People get here and they're just like, how do I find places where there are money?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
So this is why I'm embarrassed by some of the things that happen around here because some people can be so gluttonous that they can even turn down the money because they can't get around to it because there are too many requests and that happens with Stugatz and others. But the part
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
that was problematic when we left ESPN wasn't just that we immediately started panhandling in a way that Greg Cody objects to when he leaves the five-star Michelin restaurant and a panhandler is outside. He doesn't want to be panhandled.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
It was that it made what you guys just did now, where you did the subtle advertising for your cameos. For days, you guys were talking about this in a way that contaminated our show. And now he's done it in the middle of the hockey playoffs. He's done it in the middle of the basketball playoffs. He's like, hey, how do I find more money?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Okay, I'm sorry. Yes, I erred there. I got it wrong. Well, this is supposed to be your wheelhouse, though. Food, yes. Thank you. Stop biting the hand that feeds me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Wow, Billy wins. It's Billy's day. That's one of the best jokes you've ever done. Thank you. I appreciate it. Billy didn't even hear it. I won't even repeat it. Billy didn't even hear it. I'm trying to help out Zaslo here. We need to get back to sports.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
He's a busy man. We need to get back to sports. It's an interesting time in sports.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
It is a crazy story. You can put it for later in the show because we should have got to it yesterday. But I don't want to leave the local hour and get to Hank Azaria and start talking next. It's a pretty enormous Panther game tonight, and I know that Roy and Zaz and Chris pretend to not be afraid because you've got the better team, but this is terrifying. No, no, I'm afraid.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
And also he did. And he also threw in what's this moment you keep talking about? Like everyone's a little stronger on Wednesdays. But Billy said to me after yesterday's show, it wasn't good morning. It was you were an asshole yesterday to Chris and his father.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
It's best of three in Toronto, and that place is dying. If they knock off the Panthers, you guys know that this will be a fan base that is feeling as good as it's ever felt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Unprecedented! So it would be, put it on the poll at Levitard Show, is it unprecedented to win in seven after you've lost in six? Zaslow, the homer train around here, I'm embarrassed for Zaslow on this behalf.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Do you understand how hard it is to be more of a homer than Greg Cody, Parakeet Cortez, and Mike Ryan about our local sports teams? You never think the local team is going to lose. You have never in 20 years watching you do this do you go into a night predicting the locals are going to lose tonight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
We did a decade of radio on, hey, they're four points out. With a game in hand.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
And now look where we live. But you should be, Roy. You can't do bravado right now. Even if you're the champions, and even if you know you've got the best team, this is a difficult spot, and hockey can happen, and you can lose in that building to their backup goalie.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Okay, that softens it. But you've never called me an asshole to my face before.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
The Heat had a minority owner like this as well many years ago. You have to be careful with the minority owners who have public opinions because they're just rich people who don't actually have the power of the toy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Minority owners usually aren't valuable enough to keep around with something like this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Right, right. You want to give me the Wild Billy Wednesday sound here? Because I have a question here. Wild Billy Wednesday. That I need transitionally to. It's a strange transition. Yeah, well, I needed something softer. Yes, I'm still getting used to Wild Willie Wednesday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
I mean, can you answer for me this question? I fear that I'm asking a stupid question. Mike Ryan corrected me on this last week. I think I referred to a goaltender as a goalkeeper or a goalkeeper as a goaltender. I mean, do you know the difference between those two things? Not just like, of course, we can just say goalie, but one who tends and one who keeps.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Do you know the actual difference of that? Because I don't. Yeah, one's for hockey, one's for soccer. Nope. That wasn't that hard. Not hard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
I don't think we should be telling people what is real and what is not real as people, for example, wonder about the whereabouts of Stugatz. And I kind of wish that was a bit. But I don't understand why Stugatz was on the schedule four days this week and hasn't gotten here yet. He's still in Newark.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Well, this is what's happening right now. This is what's happening. Zaz is like, I'm on a heater, man. I can't believe Stugatz is leaving the seat open.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Is it more or less than 15 years? 15 sounds about right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Again with this, with all people love money, Zaslow. That's true. It's not just wives. Husbands also love money. Yeah, that's true. Really? We're the show now that plays a cash register sound?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Why don't you find me? He did love his son. He really did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
That's some type of odd detail. No, but he really loved his kid.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Greg Cody. Greg Cody, there is nothing, there is nothing that will make Greg Cody angrier. And he gets, this is a place that he will get emotional faster and with more claws than in defense of his two children.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
I think 15 is about right. Billy, do you have an exact number?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
That's a good question on the depths of his narcissism, but I've seen it happen enough that he will rise to the vigorous defense of his son when his son behaves as Greg Cody would. And so when I say too harshly an indictment of Chris Cody, that's basically just an umbrella for my executive producer doesn't return my phone calls. This is true. It's just an umbrella. This is true.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
It's an umbrella complaint that I can't always, I couldn't get a hold of him when he was my assistant. I have some trouble reaching him now that he's in the acting role as executive producer. And so I just didn't say that, but I don't know how you can object to that. I texted you the other day that Dave Starr died.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
I just, do you know is what I'm saying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Yeah. You know, I did miss that. That is true. And that's fair. I'm under a lot of different stuff now. But the thing I had requested from you and Izzy, you guys didn't actually like all you said is, yeah, we answered your questions by telling you we weren't going to send any of the things you asked for. Yes, because we explained why they were unnecessary. It's an answer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
It is an answer, but it's not a completion.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
It's not the completion of the task, right? It's just to tell me, no, I can't do that, isn't really completing what it is that I've requested.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Do you guys have any thoughts on the ravaging the Pacers just gave the Cleveland Cavaliers? Because I said yesterday the Pacers can beat anybody, and that's not true. They can't beat OKC. But playing that style of basketball on – I mean – on any game, they can be good enough to beat you. But doing this to Cleveland, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Because I didn't actually write off OKC, though I want to hear your thoughts on this. I mean, I'm just respecting the best player in the world and probably not respecting OKC's defense enough because I have so rarely seen Jokic look like he looked in games three and four and Denver was still in those games. But I'm not writing off anybody. I'm just respecting the best player in the world.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
Well, what's the indictment of this? Because Cleveland will go down as someone no one will believe in next year because of what happened last year and what happened this year. But those four players that they have are a hell of a core.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
I will say, though, that what you're presently watching is the hardening of the Pacers over the playoffs where last year they were a thing to be feared and they had all sorts of win probabilities over the Celtics where they should have won like three of the playoff games late, were probable to win and blew all of them. This feels like a different team to me. Do I have this wrong?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
It's just a 50-win team. And I don't know, in today's game, when the players are talking about Halliburton being overrated, I'm watching a player and I'm like, that's not overrated.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
He took Duncan Robinson's job because when he's 0 for 9, he knows he's making the 10th one. He doesn't mind 0 for 9. What I loved about Max. The reason that he made $50 million is because, yes, throw me the ball, I will always shoot it. I'm going to continue to space the floor this way. I think that happens.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
I did not know that. I am learning that now. I texted you. I texted you and Sugatz. I texted you and Sugatz. That's bad ball.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
I wish, though, that we had a segment somewhere in sports where we had so much access that instead of all the stories that we get about, oh, he told me in the dugout he was going to hit a home run before he went up there. This story where a guy tries to fire up his team and then goes 0 for 9 and has nothing to do with the reason they won the basketball game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
There has been nothing more diluted in sports than the public guarantee someone makes because words mean nothing. But you mentioned Jimmy Butler and you mentioned the vagaries and variances of the playoffs. Last round, I was saying Jimmy Butler won the whole thing with the Heat. Tonight's a pretty big one for Jimmy Butler.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
The thing's going to fall on his head here if they need him to be playoff Jimmy. And my question to you is legitimately, can he?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
From series to series, though, because if his season ends tonight, I was saying last round, Jimmy got it right, the Heat got it wrong. If you can do that 16 times, if he can stay healthy 16 times. You fast forward from seven seed to, of course, Steph and Jimmy can beat anybody four of seven games if Jimmy is right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
But part of the bet that Miami was making on Jimmy is we can't get him on the court all the time. He's not going to keep staying healthy at 35 because that kind of mileage, they're still talking. Bridges is an iron man, and they're still talking about Thibodeau running people into the ground. Jimmy Butler, however it is that science has changed, aging,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
There's a lot of mileage on those odometers, and the pump fakes were starting last playoffs when he had to get shot up I don't know how many times in order to try and get into later rounds.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
But my question to you is legitimately, can he, right? Because when we talked yesterday about Giannis,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
I don't think you can really start a sentence where everyone's laughing, saying not to bring down the vibes, but someone you know died. And you're informing me of that because I didn't see it on the text.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: We Need Shrimp
No. Okay, this is his prime. Usually in basketball, the prime isn't at 30. Look, you just look at it.

You guys ever wonder when you're in an arena and you're jumping for joy, right? Because you're so excited and you're like... The engineers, they have to have planned for a lot of jumping. I think about this all the time. All the time, I think, how much jumping is too much jumping based on the structure here and what they planned for?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
Did the engineers plan for a very successful hockey team 20 years after you built the arena and we're going to have a lot of jumping? And I'm assuming the average weight of the American has gone up in 20 years. So when you're planning this 20 years ago, are you thinking...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
You know, an average American, you know, carry the two, whatever, probably like 250 for the average American and they're jumping. How long can they jump before we're not structurally sounding?

The Heat are just victims of their own mythology that they created, right? Which is championship culture. We're always in it. Banners. And we always get the guy.

It's a question. So, like, to answer your question. Dan was going to report something a couple weeks ago, and then it ended up turning into this ice cream thing, but it was, like, very morbid in the morning. I'm telling you, it was like a funeral that day. Everyone was like, something bad is going on here behind the scenes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
And then last minute pivot, I don't know if we got new test results or something, but it's like, ice cream, not cookies. Everyone was confused. Amit was here. He remembers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
Went to the greenery and said, I can't be part of this meeting today. And we're like, whoa, Dan loves the meetings. He's in this meeting every single day. He's blowing this off.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Hubris
No, we started, yeah, because we started thinking like, oh my gosh, they named the court after him, the Lakers making a statue after him, like something's going on and all of a sudden everyone's honoring him out of the blue and now Dan is like very sad here and then boom, ice cream. And we're like, whoa, okay, well,

Yeah, like I think he meant specifically they lost 10 in a row and they still managed to make the playoffs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
I think we kind of knew that, or at least I felt going into the game yesterday, we were going to learn a little bit about this Heat team. What I mean by that is not that we're going to learn, oh, can they win the game? Okay, send the series back to Cleveland.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
But we're going to learn a little bit about this version of the Heat because if you get down early, they all know they're not winning the series. Maybe they win the game, they're not winning the series. They know that, okay? So we're going to learn a little bit about this team where if they get down early, which...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
Do they start thinking to themselves, all right, is it even worth trying to put a thousand percent effort to get back in this game than to just get on a plane for one more game and get killed in Cleveland? Like, we're going to learn a little bit about this team. And we did learn, which was, yeah, we don't really think it's worth the trouble. And that's the part that's different, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
Well, that's also what's going to spark the change. The change that the fan base has wanted. I don't know that I want to sit here and do silver lining today, but losing that game by one point yesterday is not the way to go into the offseason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
The Heat fan has wanted this change, and now you've got Bam Adebayo sitting there post-game saying, the guy with the silver hair, he's going to make major change. It's like, yeah!

At halftime, I ask myself, can they win by 100?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
I saw at one point at halftime, the live odds were 40 and a half. I mean, obviously they ended up covering it, Cleveland, but can you imagine? You're looking like, yeah, I'm going to take minus 40 and a half. And you know what? You were a winner.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
That doesn't make me late. I didn't go to the starting lineup in studio.

Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
It's the best sport like that. Like what other sports do they still talk like that? It's why I've loved these NBA playoffs because the team seemed to be hating each other this year. But it's always like that with the hockey. They hate each other.

Bosh. Rebound Bosh. Back out to Allen. His three-pointer. Bang! Bang!

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: There's a Typhoon In Miami
Well, I don't think the Heat were saying they don't believe that he could do it for, you know, throughout this year's playoffs. They were saying he can't do it through the year 2028, right? Isn't that what the Heat were saying in getting rid of him?

Ich glaube nicht, dass jeder auf Kachuck ist. Aber ich würde sagen, ich... Ich freue mich wirklich auf Paul Maurice.

Er wollte immer noch total zurückkehren und sein Spiel finden, aber jetzt ist er es, laut seinem Hauptmann. Ich vertraue ihm. Ist er 100%? Nein, niemand ist dieses Mal im Jahr, blablabla.

Ich glaube nicht, dass es letzte Nacht eine große Überraschung war. Und ich sage, dass es eine Anomalie war, was da passiert ist, was wir gesehen haben. Florida hat fünf oder mehr Tore in vier straight Playoff-Spielen gespielt. Nur das vierte Team in den letzten 30 Jahren, um das zu tun. Extraordinary. Und während der regelmäßigen Saison, das war nicht einer der höchsten scoring Teams in der Liga.

Also, ich denke, für sie, ein Spiel zu kämpfen, Das ist kein großer Schock. Es ist Hockey. Hockey ist Hockey. Das ist es. Ich möchte nicht überreaktieren zu diesem Verlust. Sie können in Carolina in ein paar Tagen zurückkommen und das Spiel gewinnen. Und niemand wird überrascht. Niemand.

Das ist genau richtig, weil Maurice sagte von Reinhardt, er sei nicht geklärt worden und er sei nicht ausgerufen worden. Er hätte gestern Abend spielen können, wenn sie in einer näheren Serie wären. They're up 3-1.

That's the Panthers' mantra, though. And back me up, Roy. Before every series... Go on. The Panthers... Quit saying go on. What are you... Vor jeder Serie sagen sie immer, dass sie sich für sieben Spiele vorbereiten. Das ist nur das Mantra der Panthers. Es gibt nichts Neues in dieser Serie.

They're good jokes.

Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC
Sie sind so gut, sie sind so schlecht, dass sie gut sind. So sehe ich sie. Du kannst weinen und lachen gleichzeitig. Am I right? For example, what does the custodian say when he suddenly comes out of the supply closet? You blew that joke. I know, I really did. The setup was bad. Supplies! Instead of surprise, he said, supplies! But I blew it. You shouldn't have put supplies. Supplies party.

I was going from memory.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC
I've been saying that for like 25 years. I credit your dad for that. You got it. You should. By the way, my granddaughter's graduation from grade school today, second grade, it's big. Not everybody graduates from second grade. There's a lot of first grade dropouts, so we're very proud of her for graduating. Didn't mean to derail your show. Yeah, you did. Yeah, you did.

How does he know? That's ridiculous to say that. I mean, you have better than a 0 in 10,000 chance to win the lottery. Mathematisch kann man nicht immer sagen, dass man nur eine Chance hat, weil Scheiße passiert. Aber es ist auch fair zu sagen, dass die beiden oberen Teams das Recht haben, bei OKC in der Finale getrunken zu werden. Was wir hier sehen, ist SGA, der seinen MVP-Wert verurteilt hat.

Well, you know, we expect seven game series. That's the Panther mantra that they say before every series. But I give Paul Maurice credit. He spent the first three games of that series saying, this is closer than the score makes it seem. And your friend the media and most fans were just like, 3-0, 16-4 combined score. Carolina's got no shot. Well, Paul Maurice won. Media nothing. He was right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stand Out of the Way, Here Comes OKC
It's been closer than the score seems. And Carolina last night, I thought, I mean, Florida played terribly, but Carolina was the team we thought it would be. Hold on a second, though.

Can we acknowledge how brown my hair is in that picture? I mean, look at that. That's a young man right there. Brown, huh?

Hour 2: The Fuzz
I mean, best case scenario is Jimmy Butler missed the shot at the end of the game. He'd win.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Fuzz
Well, listen, I don't want to revisit that. That's not a good memory for me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Fuzz
I don't like it. Yeah. And I didn't know where it's coming from, where they're singing these LeBron songs. What the hell's going on here, you know?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Fuzz
Is it just the subject of the song? Yeah, pretty much. And the lyrics, I just, I don't like it. Do you like Blink-182? No, and I don't like that song either. It's one of those overdone things. They played at hockey games and the crowd all sings. Yeah. It's lame.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Fuzz
I don't know. I didn't like that song. Thanks. Keep it real. Whatever. Not every song's a banger. No, I know. You're right. Yeah, no, I'm not.

Not if the Heat get that number one all-pick. You know about that culture?

It depends on the flavor. Turkey, meatball. I have a favorite cheese, and if I'm having a sub, why would I not want to have my favorite cheese on whatever sub I'm getting? So, yes.

Put some Munster on that, baby. Yeah, me too. Dan's trying to shame me here. It's weird that I love Munster cheese.

It's like a French cheese. I like it better if it were Munster.

Hour 2: The Fuzz
Well, so Jimmy was asked with his media availability yesterday, amongst a bunch of questions, you know, essentially, when did you know that things were awry? Like, you know, he was like, you know, I knew at the end of last year. So back in May, you knew that we were at the point of no return. And he said, yes, I knew back then. Well, then why were we asking for an extension over the summer?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Fuzz
And Jimmy was also asked, if you sign the extension, if the Heat gave you the money, was this situation avoidable? And he said, flatly, no. So A, why did you ask for the extension when you knew things were done with? And B, he's just trying to make it sound like it's not about money when we know it's about money. It's only about money. It's always about money. So I think he's full of shit there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Fuzz
But he's saying that even if they gave him the money, he was at the point of no return, that he didn't want to play there anymore. And I think that's nonsense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Fuzz
All right, but the girl that I broke up with is in front of a microphone being asked questions. Coming over to your house tonight. And she looks great. By other people. She looks great, and you're so upset. I get it. Talking about me. Oh, but she's going to look like shit in two years.

What is wrong with the Heat having wanted him to play out the contract they gave him?

Local Hour: Heat Stroke
That right there is now – it was the worst moment of my sports fandom life at the time. It's now the second worst, but that is right after – that's in the bowels of the arena. I just got off doing the postgame show, a postgame where the Miami Heat – lost game five in the Eastern Conference Finals to Boston, and they fell down now three games to two. They were going to Boston now for game six.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Heat Stroke
We all know what happened there. LeBron, he had the eyes. He'd win the series. Amazing. But that right there, they fell behind three to two. And Sedano, I mean, like a snake. I'm sitting there with George Sedano. You see, I got a beer. I'm several beers deep at this point. And Sedano, he sneaks his phone and snaps a picture and he routinely shares it in a group chat. Very dirty move by Sedano.

So like a snake George Sedano now. And that right there, at the time, it's not anymore. It's now the second lowest. But at the time, that was the lowest I had ever been over one of my teams. And yes, I thought they were going to lose.

Okay, what fan base, I want to hear the fan base that is, eh, you know what, they take criticism really well. It's not criticism. No, but you're saying that when the Heat are criticized, that the fan base is very sensitive. I want to know the fan base that's like, yeah, you know what, we're good with being criticized, no big deal.

I was not a nice person. And he certainly knew about it. I know that he knew about it. All right. And I knew there was going to be a reckoning.

When I started to work... At ESPN Radio... A day is going to come... Because I don't book the guests... Like the producers book the guests... You know... And there's going to be a day where... Hey... We're going to have Brian Windhorst on today... And I'm like... Oh crap... So that day came... You know... And I'm going to have to deal with this... In some fashion... And I don't know him personally at all... So I have no idea... How this is going to go down... And I actually sent a text message... To another co-worker... And I said... Listen...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I don't know how I should handle this. Should I call Windhorst right now and just be like, do a whole mea culpa, or are we just going to do this on the air?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Heat Stroke
Well, yeah. First of all, it was never anything personal. I never said anything personal about him. Did I mean the things where I would say that he hates the Heat and has a bias against the Heat? Yeah, I meant those at the time. Sure I did. I didn't know how it was going to come off On ESPN radio. I thought maybe I should call him in advance.

Well, I will say that he was he he was totally good about it. I didn't even have to do a whole deal explaining myself. He's very professional. I ask him basketball questions. He answers to the best of his ability. But that was the one where I was like, man, a total pro.

We'll see if we can extract them over the course of— Well, Skip Bayless is not there anymore, so he would be right up there also. Did Windy know who you were? Definitely. Oh, okay.

Right. That's what I'm saying. It was sponsored. Who was the sponsor? I'm sorry.

I just said you bought it. That is a shocking accusation. That's very... That's not how I expect to start a Tuesday. I thought I was coming in here.

Local Hour: Heat Stroke
I thought we were all on the same page, and that is a heavy accusation.

You know, let's just put it this way, all right? Everybody knows that if their house caught fire in the middle of the night, we all have that one thing that we would grab on the way out. And the box with my rings in it. That's right, rings, plural. Plural. The box with my rings in it. That's what I'd be grabbing. So the best way to answer that question is, priceless, baby.

I am certainly not told anything since I stopped being on the broadcast. I haven't been on that broadcast since the year 2022 of our Lord, all right? Since then... I've never been told anything, all right? The words that come out of this mouth, the words that come from this lips.

Brown's car was stolen and he put out on Twitter, Dear Philly, to whoever stole my car last night, I'll make a deal with you.

Take it or leave it, my guy. And his car has been returned, but Brown says the police returned his car and the thief is dealing with consequences. So either he found that car and consequences are being dealt with, or he may have lied to the people saying there'd be no consequences if they returned the car. That's the latest at the News Desk.

And if you're watching our show, you probably know your boy has undergone a little bit of a body transformation. And I got to tell you, Peloton has helped me on my fitness journey. It got the ball rolling for me because I watched my wife on the Peloton. She takes all these great classes. She has her favorite instructors. I listen to the music. I'm a big music guy.

It gets me fired up, makes me want to take part in this fitness phenomenon known as Peloton. Peloton offers a variety of challenging classes, from four-week strength building classes to running, cycling, and everything in between.

So he had an open-door press conference after he had the closed-door press conference. I don't understand the press conference strategy at all. How about no press conferences? Exactly.

Got to get there first, right? Right now the series price on most sportsbooks is minus 110, minus 110. This is a total pick-em series going on right now. The two teams that made it to the Stanley Cup last year, appear to have some challenges in front of them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
There were some really bad answers in that one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
Was it Kalashaw that asked? Tim McMahon. It was Tim McMahon about the timeline.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
Yeah, and he's like, I'm just trying to use your logic here on extending your timeline. You had a championship team. Meanwhile, this team was a Western Conference champion last year. They don't make it out of the play-in this year. No one. in their right mind, would describe that as a good job.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
I think I do see the value in that, in that the questions that were asked were, The journalists were trying to follow Nico's logic in ways that if it's your end of the year presser, cameras are out there, your duty is to your readers and ask the most pressing questions. You can actually have a conversation. This one, they were like, okay, the trade happened. This was your logic.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
Now we have a more representative sample. How are we doing according to your plan right now? I thought they extended him a lot and maybe that was the intention behind it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
Yeah, confused by his own moves. You could have said that he was doing a really bad job before they traded Luka in. They were just three games over .500 on the heels of an NBA Finals appearance with some glaring needs, and they didn't address it. They didn't try to get better. In fact, they traded the most popular player in the franchise. Not history, but close.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
Well, that's why I love Zaz's point about Mark Cuban, who still has an ownership stake. He just sold a majority stake. And remember, they kind of greased the rails for the new ownership group by putting everybody at ease. Don't worry, Mark is still going to be involved in the day-to-day activities, the team, and he's still going to be a part of this ownership group.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
And then, I guess, slowly, the public image divested. But this was actually pretty quick. And in terms of people with good public relations appeal... that could speak to the fans and what Luka meant to that market. Mark should kind of be out there, unless it's the plan from the ownership group that has a majority stake saying, we don't want you around this at all.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
But I feel like Cuban can have actually, yeah, he could have helped.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
He looks great by comparison.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
And I could kind of understand that if he were, say, a former coach that someone decided to let go, but he sold this team for a record profit. It was totally his call. So I don't think you get to be like, sorry, guys, it wasn't really my call here. I'm so sorry. This wasn't inadvertently your call.

Last year's shirt was World War III. Our group chat has a good feeling about this one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
It feels like a difficult series. I mean, the series prices all reflect that. And while Florida may be top to bottom more talented than they were last year, they still got 88. He didn't have the greatest series the last time these two teams played in the playoffs. And... There's a reason why, though. Florida's going to be getting some guys back, but some guys that haven't played in a while.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
Some hugely important guys like Matthew Kachuk, Aaron Ekblad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
Right, so I saw him have a career resurgence, and shortly thereafter he tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. I imagine that performance-enhancing drug thing got cleared up during the suspension, and he's probably not on that stuff anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
Yeah, so I don't know. And you keep in mind he had a longer layoff. Same thing with Matthew Kachuk. There's new players on the team, new lines that are going to get formed. So we'll see. I do think it's going to be a tougher, longer series.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
Put him on that third. I want him on that second. Why do you want a guy with one goal on the second line? Two. I just want to see what it looks like.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
One thing I'm really curious to see is Kucherov had another outstanding season. A book on him, though, is he's a power play merchant. Florida really neutralized Kucherov last year. He was very frustrated. I agree with you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
That's their thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Look, he hasn't been good as a Florida Panther. He just hasn't. Oh, I disagree. He hasn't been good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
He hasn't been good. He's not a better player than Mackey. He's not. He's a proper third liner on merit. Maybe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
We got activity for days. Like, Brad Marchand, that's been a lot of the analysis. Wow, Brad Marchand brings activity to the season. Florida's been great on that front.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
I feel like he's not as good a skater as he once was. I feel like he's certainly not the type of offensive threat that he was, certainly not even last year. And on top of that, he's got a really stupid face, and I don't like him one bit. Oh, there it is. If we want to scratch his ass, we can scratch his ass and we can get Greer in there because I like Greer more.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
No, Greer doesn't like Marshawn more.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Because it's coming. We have plenty of people that do that. We didn't need more.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
Yeah. Yes, I want to scratch your third line forward for a fourth line forward that, you know, I think is a better player because Brad Marchand's not a good hockey player anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: "World Rawr IV: Lightning Ain't Shit"
He didn't score like that for Florida. He's not a good player, guys. I don't know what to tell you. I don't like him. And on top of being a bad hockey player, he's a worse person. Oh, my God.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

He is to Andrew Hawkins. That's not an upgrade. I mean, from a football analysis standpoint, maybe not.

Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
In einem Spiel, in dem sie sieben verloren haben, war er ein Team-Worst. Minus 30. Sie haben sie sieben verloren, er war minus 30. Und habt ihr den Diskurs auf Social Media gesehen, über Jimmy? Weil...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Es war nicht ein guter Tag. Er wurde gegrüßt, er hat eine charmevolle Existenz in Golden State. Es war alles für ihn funktionierend. Aber dann war eine Sache, die er nicht geplant hatte. Ein Spieler, der endlich besser war als er, auf einem Roster, auf dem er war, würde getötet werden. Und jetzt ist jeder an ihm beiseite, was ich nicht glaube, super fair ist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Nein, aber sie haben ihn für das gemacht. Not to carry a team to a championship, but they got him and gave him the huge money because, god forbid, the team leaves the locker room and the camera pans to a Steph Curry who's in street clothes and he's waving. We all saw he's waving to them. See you guys. Like, they got him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
specifically to give the team a stay of execution, where maybe Curry will be back Game 6, they're not going to get out of Game 5. That's why they got Jimmy Butler. 14 points, minus 30?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Neun Schüsse ist das, was er gemacht hat, als er aktiv passiv-aggressiv war und versucht hat, Spiele aufzunehmen während der Miami Heat-Line-Up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
In einem Spiel, das die Warriors gewinnen mussten, ohne Steph Curry, Vier andere Spieler haben mehr Schüsse getroffen als Jimmy Butler. Piszczynski hat geheilt. Draymond hat mehr Schüsse getroffen. Unvergesslich. Und Kaminga ist auf dem Platz. Und Kaminga, der mehr Schüsse getroffen hat, war auch 11-12 von der Freethrough-Line. Also war Kaminga viel aktiver als Butler.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Er hat nicht viel mehr gespielt, als zu scoren. Er hat keine Rebounds gespielt in den letzten 30 Minuten. Willst du alles machen? Ich will ein bisschen was machen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Sollte es ein bisschen lauter sein, als es jetzt in den Medien ist? Jimmy oder Kaminga? Für Jimmy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Ich meine, je nachdem, was er hier in Miami gemacht hat... Das ist eine gute Frage, weil es nicht so fühlt wie... Es fühlt sich an, als wäre er ein Fan von Social Media.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Nicht für neun Schüsse. Aber er sollte keinen Pass bekommen. Er sollte keinen Pass bekommen, weil... Das ist, warum sie ihn bekommen haben. Er ist Playoff-Jimmy. Und auf der anderen Seite, es ist eine Sache, wenn er auswählen geht, richtig?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Es ist eine Sache, wenn er auswählen geht, wie im Playoff, Jimmy, wenn er eine gute Leistung hat, oder wenn er, wenn er, weißt du, einen Eindruck einlässt, dass es so ist, okay, zumindest Jimmy ging vor, Nackt zuerst in die Kuppe, versucht, Fouls zu schießen, aber du gehst raus, so wie du es gemacht hast, als du die Glocke hier in Miami gemilkt hast, wie das, das war nicht, was das war, das ist nicht, das ist nicht der Standard, den jeder dich jetzt in den Playoffs hält, den du erstellst.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Sie fragen sich auf der Broadcast, und schau, wir, wir sahen dieses, Ja, genau. Warum schießt er nicht? Sie haben sich gefragt, warum er nicht schießt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Es gab etwas, was in der Nugget-Serie passiert ist, wo man sieht, dass er seine eigene Selbstvertrauen verloren hat. In den NBA Finals, nach einer absoluten Verletzung. Ich weiß, dass er hier und dort nachwuchs, aber es gab etwas, was in der Serie passiert ist, wo sie ihm dachten, der Typ zu sein. Und es war nicht so, dass sie in der Elimination kämpften.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Hatte er die Selbstvertrauen, dass er es sogar gemacht hat? Ich denke, er ist jetzt ziemlich selbstbewusst über seine Verletzungen. trotz dessen, was er mit dem Miami Heat gemacht hat, was es wahrscheinlich noch schlechter machen könnte, weil seine Intention war, dass er das Geld jetzt bekommt, weil er weiß, dass er nie auf diesem Niveau sein wird.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Aber ich denke, für einen Spieler, der von den nationalen Medien alle Art von Begeisterung bekommen hat, und rechtlich so, waren die Miamier hier von der ganzen Erfahrung aus verbrannt, wundern, weshalb die Aufmerksamkeit so gut war, und er sah, als wäre er ein Gewinner gekommen, für den Plan, nur abhängig zu sein. auf Seth Currys Körper.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Und für dich, dass du ihnen nicht einen dieser Momente gibst. Einen dieser Momente, den sie dich für erhoben haben. Nicht nur, um den Druck von Seth auszunehmen, aber in dem Fall, dass etwas mit Seth passiert, kannst du uns ein Spiel gewinnen. Für ihn, um das nicht zu tun, ist es wert, zu kommen. Er hat die Jimmy-Stuffe letzte Nacht gemacht. Wir sind noch in dem.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Which I guess you're also saying this is exactly why he held Miami hostage and only cared about getting the money right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
But if I may, like... Er ist Top-5 in Freethrow-Attempten in der Post-Saison, in diesen NBA-Playoffs. Er hat sich in diesen NBA-Playoffs gezeigt, dass er der Typ sein kann. Ich weiß, er hat ein schwieriges Spiel gemacht, ein paar Spiele zuvor, und er hat sich damit beschäftigt. Aber du musst es machen. Du musst es spielen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Du musst das Spiel spielen, das dir einfache Punkte bei den Streifen bringt, wenn Steph Curry rauskommt. Aus Respekt für das Franchise und das Team, das dir das Geld gegeben hat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Für das Team, das dir das Geld gegeben hat. Am liebsten validieren, wo es so ist, okay, wenn wir verlieren, verlieren wir mit mir, wenn wir 20 Schüsse nehmen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Und ich bekomme Sachen auf Social Media, wo es so geht, was da passiert ist. Warum war Jimmy Schunewald nicht da? Und wir würden das immer in den Playoffs mit den Heatons bekommen. Ich weiß es nicht. Er hat einfach so Spiele. Niemand weiß.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Er verliert seine Selbstvertrauen in seinen Schuss. Es ist offensichtlich, weil er keine Schüsse attemptiert hat, die er hätte. And it's pump fake, pump fake, pump fake. And sometimes it's pump fake, go up for a layup when you probably should have passed out of it. Or not take the easy layup, pump fake, nobody, get yourself injured. This is the end of his career.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
It's a guy that played his entire career one way, very aggressively, a lot of minutes on that body. He doesn't necessarily trust his shot and he certainly doesn't trust his body anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Ich muss es von den Wolfen sehen. Because, you know, the reality is right now with Minnesota. Alright, they're beating up a warrior team that is a very big man down. And then the Laker team, they beat in the first round. Incomplete, an incomplete team. Like, they may not have been that good, the Lakers. We may have been wrong about the Lakers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
So, I'm down on the walls of the way they handled Game 1. Like, this series should be over. It should have been a sweep. It should have been done with. It was like such an unprofessional effort from them where they couldn't win that first game when Steph Curry leaves. So, they shouldn't lose another game in this series. I don't think they're going to lose another game in this series.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
They're getting like their first real test in the conference finals. When the reality of it is, whichever team they wind up playing, the Thunder or the Nuggets, they're already going to have been tested. I mean, the Nuggets won a seven game series in the first round. If the Thunder get past Denver here, they had to come back from a 2-1 deficit at one point. I'm not in on the Wolves.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Sie werden es in den Western Conference Finals verdienen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Warum ist die NBA jetzt so? Wir hatten hier einen 5-Jahres-Rund. Das geht zurück zu Covid. Die Finals und wer die tiefen Runden in den Playoffs macht, ist ein bisschen schrecklich. Das Sport war früher prädiktiv. Aber was ist passiert? Was hat sich verändert? Du hast ein paar Jahre von den Finals entfernt, die Playoffs nicht gemacht haben. Du hast ein Team, das die Western Conference Champions war.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Ich verstehe, dass sie den Wettbewerb gemacht haben. Sie haben die Playoffs nicht gemacht. Phoenix fiel auf die Karte, nachdem sie die NBA-Finale gemacht haben. Schau mal, was in Milwaukee passiert ist. Ein Desaster. Die Heizung? Ja, die Heizung. Zwei random Appearances. Eigentlich einer der konsistenteren Teams dieses Samples, den ich hier referiere.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Boston hat sich in dieser Mischung mit tiefen Runden befasst. Du könntest ihnen sagen, Look, even Golden State, they've been helter-skelter. In the middle of that, they have one random championship, they fall off. Denver and Boston have been consistent, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
It's all over the place. You want to talk about something we've never seen before in the NBA playoffs. This second round of the playoffs, the road team's 11-4. Das ist verrückt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Wir haben es noch nie gesehen. Das könnte ein Ausgleich sein, aber ich schaue mir hier ein ganzes Beispiel von fünf Jahren an. Und das ist, ich denke, wir können es justifizierbar sagen, du kannst es bestätigen. Das ist das Rande, was dieses Sport je gemacht hat. Can you think about... We're backing up the tow truck right now. Oh, I love that. Is that the new NBA now?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
I mean, you guys watch way more than me. Is this what the NBA is?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
I can't speak to the last five years, but I think over the last couple of years, I do think this is the new NBA. I do think, and we're going to see with the Boston Celtics, where... Die Art und Weise, wie man ein Roster baut und die Art und Weise, wie man ein Team zusammenhalten kann, das ist heute's NBA mit dem, wie das CBA funktioniert. Es wird viel mehr Parodie geben.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Und guck, wir werden jetzt... Boston ist fertig. Ich reportiere das, übrigens. Boston ist fertig. Wow. Ich reportiere das. Sie sind fertig. Wir werden für das siebte jährige Jahr einen neuen Champion haben. Das ist nie passiert. Das ist die neue NBA. Ich kann nicht zu den letzten fünf Jahren sprechen, aber die letzten paar Jahre haben die Teams sich daran gewöhnt, wie man jetzt Roster bauen muss.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Ich möchte euch etwas über etwas fragen, was mich wirklich interessiert.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Wait, if I may, I know that you said seven seasons, different champion. You may. Do you need to approach? Let's really inspect these last five NBA Finals. Lakers heat. Lakers kind of fell off being a title threat after they won that one in the bubble. They won an IST. Maybe they had a couple of times where their fan base would feel frisky, but not a real title threat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
I think they got to the West Finals two years ago. But... Das war eine ungewöhnliche Erkennung. Sie fielen ab, versuchten sich wieder aufzubauen. Heap, okay. Bubble, seltsam. Sie wurden am nächsten Jahr in den ersten Runden der Playoffs aufgeworfen. Von den Bucks, die die Phoenix Suns in den NBA Finals gespielt haben. Die Suns fielen ab. Sie waren auch ein One-Hit-Wonder.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Und sie sollten diese Serie gewonnen haben. Dann gab es Heap und Nuggets. Wir können das so bezeichnen. Heap machte den ECF danach.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Bevor das war es 22, als die Heat in den Finals kamen, und 23 in den NBA-Finals.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Waren die Strusse, die im nächsten Jahr in den NBA-Finals kamen, vorher oder später? Das war 22, das war in den Finals, sie haben das Spiel verloren.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Ja, also sie haben es bis in die Finals gemacht, und sie verlieren.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Zu den Celtics, die die Golden State Warriors spielen, die während dieser Zeit nicht mehr im Gespräch waren. Das war eine Art Überraschung. Sie waren ein Champion von gestern, und sie haben das gewonnen. Dann die Celtics. Okay, ich glaube, wir können zusammenarbeiten. Die Celtics während dieser fünfjährigen Strecke sind wahrscheinlich die am meisten konsistenten Mannschaft.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Ich meine, was sind die Mavs? Sie haben nur die NBA-Lotterie gewonnen. Das war vor ein paar Monaten.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Also ist das eine gute Sache? Alles, was du sagst, ist das nicht gut für die NBA?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
I don't know. I don't know, because at the same time, simultaneously, you have such a change of the playing style, which might actually be the root cause of why everything is so random. But I don't know, because people make a lot about their TV ratings going down, whether that's a good faith argument or not. Playoff numbers are way up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Ob das eine gute Wahrnehmung ist oder nicht, ist zu bestätigen. Aber die NBA war am stärksten, wenn man auf die Story-Arche bestimmter Teams kümmern kann. Die Bullen waren immer da. Wer knackt die Bullen aus? Du bist sehr bekannt mit der Nick-Story-Arche. Du bist sehr bekannt mit den Pacers. Die Lakers, richtig. Wenn die Pistons ihre Runde mehrere Male haben, weißt du die Teile, die Spieler.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Und diese Storys haben für eine bessere Zeit der Liga geholfen. Wir sind in der verschiedensten Territorie der NBA-Historie. Ja, ja. Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Ich glaube nicht, dass das, was zu den Ratings kommt, also die Ratings, die in den Playoffs hoch sind, aber auch die Ratings, die in den Playoffs hoch sind, die Nachteile und so weiter. Ich glaube nicht, dass es damit zu tun hat, dass sie nicht eine Dynastie oder eine konsistente Mannschaft gewinnen. Es muss das sein, was mich etwas entfernt hat, nämlich den Stil des Spiels.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Der Stil des Spiels, Spieler nicht zu spielen. Ich meine, der NBA-Spieler liebt zwei Dinge mehr als alles andere, das ist zu klagen und nicht zu spielen, okay? Und das ist eine Veränderung für mich. Und der Stil des Spiels, alle drei-Punkte-Schüsse, die Celtics als das größte Beispiel, das ist mein größtes Problem mit heute's NBA. Und ich denke, viele Fans würden den gleichen Sentiment erheben.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Ich sollte mich korrigieren. Die neue Linie, die ich mir vorgestellt habe, ist, wenn ich falsch bin, werde ich es verurteilen. Ich habe gesagt, es fühlt sich an, als ob man sich in den ersten Quartal zu diesen Spielen eingeladen hätte. Es gibt ein 20-Punkte-Defizit und man kann diese Spiele auswählen. Es gab fünf Comebacks von 20 Punkten oder mehr, bis jetzt in der Postseason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Yeah, you don't panic. If we go back to the late 90s, early 2000s, you're down by 20 in a play. You shut the game off.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Yeah, so shout out to that Twitter person that mentioned that to me. I would also like another study being done on how many of those 20-point games become 40-point games. A lot of them have.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
It kind of feels like the reason why I'm coming away feeling that way when I'm watching games is a lot of times when I do watch a game that's a 20-point deficit early on, it grows to a 40-point deficit and there's no reason to watch this. And there are very few things in sports worse than when you build up all the drama, all the anticipation for an NBA playoff game and it's a dud of a blowout.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Sure, but it's a numbers game, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Aren't the NBA Playoffs up because the New York market is making a deeper run, because the Boston market is there, because the Bay Area market is there? I mean, we're only in the second round. I understand, but there are some big time TV markets that were in these playoffs. Sure, but the play has been great. The play has been great.

Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Es ist sicherlich besser geworden als in den letzten Jahren, wenn ich mich von meinem Heat-Fandom auseinandersetzen könnte. Das war ein Spaß-NBA-Playoff, weil es sehr dramatische Spiele gab. Und ich habe das letztes Jahr gesagt, ich verstehe, warum Dan uns in den WFAT verwendet hat. Sie haben eine Frucht in ihnen. Ihr Fanbase hat eine Frucht in ihnen. Sie haben Leute, mit denen sie reden.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Ich war immer... Ich war immer... Der Heat-Homer in mir war immer der Meinung, dass die NBA heiliger ist, wenn die Knicks gut sind. Weil ich die ganze Zeit gelebt habe mit der NBA perfekt in Ordnung zu sein und die Knicks überhaupt nicht gut zu sein. Aber jetzt, in diesem Moment, wo die Seas etwas mehr turbulent sind, hilft es. Ja. Es hilft. Ja.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Also, ich bin dieses Wochenende in beide Panthers gespielt. Game 3 and Game 4.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Thank you. Not enough is being said about how you helped the team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
I had to pull up. I had to pull up. And something really bothers me. And I can tell Chris it bothers him too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
I saw Chris at both games this weekend. He had to pull up also. We parked next to each other. The big parking lot. Very random. I literally pulled up right next to him. And...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Das hat mich schon ein paar Jahre geholfen. Aber es ist jetzt wirklich schlecht.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Die Panthers haben das Spiel gewonnen. Sie haben es gut gemacht. Und übrigens, Keith Yandel, Shoutout. Exzellente Arbeit auch. Jetzt sind wir zurück.

Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Also, während des nationalen Anthems, in den letzten Jahren, singt das Publikum immer Red und die Rockets Red Glare. Okay, das ist die Farbe des Teams. Es ist ein Hockey-Ding. Okay, gut. Auch in den letzten Jahren singen sie Night für Spencer Knight, wenn das Lyrics across kommt. They're still doing it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
No, he played plenty this year. He did. That's true. He did, but whatever. Because they've been chanting Knight for years, including years where he literally was not on the active roster.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
That kind of felt more like support because he was taking that mental break too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
What are we doing here? Look, he was still on the roster. But now he's not on the roster.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
So game three, Friday night, I'm wondering and my kids are looking at me because my boys know I hate them. Ich meine, going back to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2023, we're playing the Knights up and the fans are yelling Knights during the national anthem.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Their fans do that. We were in unison. It was the loudest part of the anthem.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
It's a disgrace. So my boys are looking at me. They're like, it's coming, Gad, it's coming. And they know I hate it. Terrible. They knew you were in the building, that's why. Als Fanbase hier sind wir bereits hinter dem 8-Ball. Das ist ein schlechtes Aussehen für uns. Denn wir hatten lange keine Aufmerksamkeit, bis in den letzten Jahren. Jetzt haben wir großartige Unterstützung.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Wir sind ein Team aus der Sonne. Wir kennen kein Hockey hier.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Wir sind bereits hinter dem 8-Ball. Und die Dope Fans, die immer noch schreien. Natürlich verletzt du dich selbst. Das geht ohne Zähne. But you're embarrassing me too! You're embarrassing everyone in the building!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Are these rabble-rousers? Are they dumb? Are they trolling us? Or do they not know he's gone? I... Because Bob's had a pretty consistent string of players.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Like literally Spencer Knight did not contribute to them winning a Stanley Cup. That's a fact. He had no contribution. I wonder if it is fans who don't know why they yell Knight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
And it's coming from the upper deck. It is. Really? Yeah, because I'm always turning my head looking up there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Because I sit in the upper deck for Panther games. I sit front row in the upper deck.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
You gotta handle your business up there. You gotta get them in line. I look around. When that happens, they know better.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Wenn du das nicht stoppst, dann wirst du die Leute ausdrücken. Das wird nicht stoppen. Lass mich vorher ein PSA machen. Lass nicht Goldie da hochkommen und sich überraschen. So dass du weißt, wir haben Spencer Knight weggezahlt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
You like that Seth Jones assist? Well, we have Seth Jones because we traded away Spencer Knight, who you insist on invoking his name during the National Anthem despite no real contributions to this franchise over the last few years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
But I also love the Anthem. And I don't want to disrespect the Anthem. Because you don't want to say Jones when Knight is the lyric.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Which bothers you more? Yelling of Knight during the National Anthem? Or the USA chants at the end of the game.

Glaubst du, dass dieser Prozess im Endeffekt in den NBA-Frieden funktioniert, weil es nicht Teams aus dem Tanken stoppt und es auch nicht Fans aus dem Theorieren, dass die Liga geriggt wird?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Further I Say If Not
Ich glaube, George dachte nicht, dass er verantwortlich war. Ich glaube, er dachte, dass er verantwortlich war, weil er versucht hat, etwas, worüber es gesprochen wurde, zu beenden. Aber ich habe Ajita nur daran gedacht. Es gibt mir Angst, den Spot, in dem George sich befindet, mit einem sehr schrecklichen Mann.

I want to get to some of the hockey in a moment here with you guys, but the Warriors lost by seven last night in a game they had to win at home. Jimmy Butler hatte 14 Punkte. Er hat neun Schüsse gespielt. Und es ist nicht so, als hätte er neun Schüsse gespielt und 18 Freestöße gespielt. Er hat neun Schüsse gespielt und fünf Freestöße gespielt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
The Knicks are massive winners right now. I mean, for everything you just said, the Ananobi deal, which I know wasn't in the offseason, it was last year, but Ananobi and Mikel Bridges are specifically brought in to defend on the perimeter, and then you also get Bridges in the fourth quarter of... Game 2, where he was phenomenal, and last night, where he was phenomenal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Bridges and Ananobi were making all the shots in the fourth quarter until Jalen Brunson decided, okay, I'm the guy and I'm going to make shots too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Ich stimme ein bisschen mit der Narrative, dass er fünf Picks für ihn gegeben hat. Er ist nicht wert der fünf Picks. Es ist das gleiche mit den fünf Picks für Rudi Gobert, wo sie nicht unbedingt sagen, dass Mikel Bridges fünf Picks wert ist. Sie sagen, In order to complete their team so they could be who they want to be, that's worth five picks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
If they didn't have Towns and they didn't have Ananobi, they wouldn't have given up five picks for Bridges.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Ich erinnere mich, Draymond hat auch gesagt, dass er nicht hart war. Die ganze TNT-Crew hat es auch gemacht. Als er am Feierabend war, und deshalb hat er das Spiel verpasst, weil er nicht hart war.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
They never did anything to us. We own them. Knicks didn't do anything to me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Ended their season every time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Okay. It was also a terrible hockey game opposite.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Good player. Mike Ryan. Mike Ryan. Playing the Warriors without Seth. What are we doing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Draymond's still there playing defense. Did you see him last night? Julius Randle was incredible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Warriors fans are so confused. Why didn't he shoot that? He has a layup and he just kicks it out. Why didn't he shoot?

Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Nein, das ist nicht es.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Yannis ist interessiert. Natürlich ist jeder Team interessiert in Yannis. Aber ist Yannis interessiert in jedem Team? Ich würde es nicht denken. Ich kann dir sagen, dass Yannis ist interessiert.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
3-11 ist natürlich schrecklich, aber wenn du dann auch zeigst, dass diese drei Wins in dieser Runde gekommen sind, dann erhöht das nicht einfach die Chancen, dass die Knicks gewinnen? Denn die regelmäßige Saison muss dann nichts gegen diese Teams bedeuten, oder?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Ja. Und sie haben keine Angst.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
In the last five years, how many finals did the Pacers and Knicks appear in?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Vielleicht ist Jokic eine Ausgabe, aber niemand anderes. Die Liga hat sich auch verändert, übrigens. Es ist nicht so, wie es vor zehn Jahren war, wo man nur so viele Sterne erzielt hat. Wir müssen einen großen Drei haben. Phoenix hat das schon versucht. Die Liga ist nicht mehr so. Wenn man einen, vielleicht sogar zwei, wenn man zwei wirklich gute Spieler hat,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Aber es geht wirklich darum, den Rest des Rostraums auszufüllen. Die Liga ist so anders. Wenn du also deine Hände auf einen Mann wie Giannis nimmst, dann ist es nicht so, dass wir andere Teile daran hinzufügen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Like, again, do you want to surmise that Giannis' people are calling every team and saying we're interested? Maybe that's true. I have no idea. I wouldn't think that that's true. I would think that there's probably only a handful of teams who Giannis is interested in. But I can tell you, I know one of those teams they have reached out to is the Heat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
No, it is not. If you see someone, forget that it's me. This is a blank face right here. Not this beautiful punim. This is a blank face right here. If you heard someone locally too, so maybe they're connected. I don't know. I don't know who this person is. You heard this person is reporting that Giannis has reached out to the heat. Would you think that's a big story?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Well, first of all... I reported last week that Sam Bennett was not even going to have a hearing.

Somebody's gotta be first!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
I heard this before. I was told this before last night. Maybe Anthony Davis was like, oh, you know, number one pick. I'm not interested in anything but Dallas. Now that's just my opinion.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
Es ist einer der Dinge, die ich, jetzt, dass ich mehr oft da bin und ich liebe es, hier zu sein. Es ist einer der Dinge, die ich, ich muss anfangen. Not getting used to, but I'm trying to still figure out. What's okay? What is making some people upset? And I certainly don't want to step on toes. You just called him Chuckles. Were you chuckling? I was chuckling.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: What's So Funny Over There, Chuckles?
War Lebitard nicht respektvoll zu Greg Codys Sohn, indem er sagte, dass er nicht unbedingt verdient hat und nicht unbedingt gut ist an seinem aktuellen Job? Nicht respektvoll.

I'm a journalist and I also let you guys know I'm a judge.

Okay, why do we keep skipping over things that are believed and things that are opinions when I reported, I reported, it was like 30 minutes ago. Based on what, Judge? Hold on a second, hold on a second. If you reported something, do you think I would have the gall to say based on what or I would trust your sources as a journalist? No, that's very insulting.

The Big Suey: Gotcha Journalism with Ryan Blaney
Kann ich dich fragen, was in diesem Spot passiert wäre, wenn Dagnall, wenn sie nicht mit 12 Sekunden auf 3 fielen? Und für den Kontext, die Nuggets haben keine Timouts und Jokic ist nicht im Spiel. Er wartet auf die Tore. Die Nuggets haben den Ball bei 3, 12 Sekunden, die Uhr tickt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Gotcha Journalism with Ryan Blaney
Wenn sie entschieden hätten, nein, nein, nein, wir wollen hier nicht fielen, weil, du weißt, die Nuggets ohne Jokic auf dem Boden sind ein allzeit schreckliches NBA-Team. Was würden sie da mit den Nuggets gemacht haben?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Gotcha Journalism with Ryan Blaney
Ja, sie haben nur einen Sekund von der Uhr gemacht.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Gotcha Journalism with Ryan Blaney
I reported like 25 minutes ago that Sam Bennett will not be suspended and I also reported there won't even be a hearing. So what are we still doing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Gotcha Journalism with Ryan Blaney
No. Okay. I gotta tell you, Westbrook making that pass to Gordon at Oklahoma City, the crowd that gave him a standing ovation as he checked in yesterday, seemingly the only fan base that actually loves him, likes him, loves him, for him to pass up attacking the basket for the game winner of und es stattdessen Aaron Gordon ausgibt. Einer der schockierendsten NBA-Spiele, die ich je gesehen habe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Gotcha Journalism with Ryan Blaney
Hold on a second. I just told you. I would never tell you my sources. You didn't even quote a source.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Gotcha Journalism with Ryan Blaney
Ich denke, es ist ein ziemlich großer Fehler, die Foul auf 3 zu machen, mit Jokic auf der Seite zu warten.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Gotcha Journalism with Ryan Blaney
They're an historically awful team when Jokic is not on the floor. And the game was on the line.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Gotcha Journalism with Ryan Blaney
But he wasn't saying it's on me that we didn't change our philosophy in that moment, which is what should have happened.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Gotcha Journalism with Ryan Blaney
Will not be suspended. What if they expected it though? Again, that report right there. That's a journalist, just like me. That guy is saying not expected. I've already told you, it's not happening.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Gotcha Journalism with Ryan Blaney
I mean, that feels insulting. I don't know what you're doing there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Gotcha Journalism with Ryan Blaney
Als Journalist, wenn wir herausfinden, dass später im Tag die NHL erläutert wird, dass es keine Disziplinärreaktion gibt, nicht mal ein Hören von Sam Bennett, wird es auch sagen, auf der TV, auf ESPN, so wie Jonathan Zaslow das erste Mal berichtet hat, auf der Dan-Levittard-Show. Denn als Journalist gibst du Geld anderen Journalisten.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Gotcha Journalism with Ryan Blaney
Ich habe keine Kontrolle darüber, aber das wäre schlechte Journalismus, wenn ich keine Kontrolle darüber hätte.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Gotcha Journalism with Ryan Blaney
You made a report.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Gotcha Journalism with Ryan Blaney
Just like I gave an opinion that he would be. He's gaslighting you. Should we clarify? I can do it again right now. Everybody's ears are open. Okay, go ahead. Do it again. I am reporting. Is that my camera? I am reporting. My opinion. I am reporting. No, no, no. Nein, nein, nein, das ist euer Bericht. Das ist euer Bericht.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Gotcha Journalism with Ryan Blaney
Mein Bericht ist, dass Sam Bennett nicht verabschiedet wird und nicht sogar ein disziplinierter Bericht mit der NHL hat, weil es ein Verlust von jeder Zeit ist. Ich berichte das. Also, wenn es heute nachher von der Liga bestätigt wird, dass Zaslow es zuerst hatte, dann geht es zu Zaslow. Es ist unvergesslich. Jeder hat es live gehört. Wir waren zuerst zu diesem Thema.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Gotcha Journalism with Ryan Blaney
That wasn't my opinion.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Gotcha Journalism with Ryan Blaney
Can you explain what a gaslight is first? This is journalism right here. My opinion is that he should not be suspended. That's an opinion. I learned that in journalism school, University of Florida. My report is that he will not be suspended and there won't even be a hearing. Okay, based on? Based on my sources.

I don't care who wins because I don't like either. Everybody dislikes the champion. The Boston Celtics were the first team I liked because I was born in Massachusetts. Bill Russell, Sam Jones, Havlicek, they were my first team. Right now, I don't care. Everybody hates whoever's the champion.

Everybody hates the Knicks because they're the Knicks and because Spike Lee is wearing a Knicks hat at the Met Gala. So everybody hates both teams. I like watching a game where I hate both teams. Ich will sowohl einen Routeninteresse, als auch einen Interesse, bei dem ich kein Team mag.

Wirklich? Ja, klar. Ja, da ist keine Frage. Ich meine, ich... Dann wirst du für die Celtics gewinnen. Das ist das, was das bedeutet. Das bedeutet nicht, dass ich für die Celtics gewinnen will. Das bedeutet, ich will, dass sie weniger verlieren.

Hier ist, was ich sagen werde zu dem, was du gerade gesagt hast. Wenn die Celtics einen Playoff-Rekord von 45 3-Punkte-Schotten verlieren, willst du den Knicks wirklich viel Kredit geben, weil sie ein tolles Spiel gespielt haben? Ich sage, dass die Celtics zu einem epischen Niveau gezwungen sind. Die Knicks waren die glücklichste Mannschaft in Amerika, um dieses Spiel zu gewinnen.

Wenn sie 4-1 runtergingen, waren das nicht die Panthers, die ich die ganze Saison gesehen habe. Wir waren schrecklich. Sie waren schrecklich. Sie wurden verletzt. Bob hat ein paar schlechte Tore gespielt. Die Panthers, die ich gesehen habe, kommen von 4-1 runter und machen ein Spiel. Das waren die Panthers, die ich kenne.

Ich würde überrascht. Ich würde überrascht. Okay, ich wette, dass Sam Bennett auslösen wird. Do you agree though?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stugotz Get Fired
Yeah, I do. Because it's an elbow to the head.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stugotz Get Fired
But he didn't even give him one of those. I think it's enough for a suspension. I think you call it a push at max.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stugotz Get Fired
There's no punch or elbow thrown there. I won't be pleased to be the one right here, but I think he will be suspended and probably should be. But the Panthers are so good, they can overcome Sam Bennett missing a game. If their penalty kill stays
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stugotz Get Fired
Ich werde sie tragen. Aber sie sind uns. I don't care, I'll wear it. The other thing I would factor in is that you want to protect the goalie. Okay, you protect that goalie. That's his crease. And when you have somebody throwing an elbow at a goalie's hand... Throwing an elbow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Stugotz Get Fired
Okay, I'm not predicting a suspension or saying what I'm saying as a fan, because I'm not a fan. I'm neutral here. There's three journalists here in this room.

Er hatte seltsame Passes. Er machte Spinneroonies und verlor den Puck. Das ist ein Spaz. In meinen Tagen war das Wort Spaz derogatorisch. Oh, you think I'm saying it as a compliment right now? Apparently not. I think Seth Jones has been a great addition. Naturally, Brad Marchand gets all the attention as far as their late season addition. Seth Jones has been great.

This is why Jessica is going to New York. She loves me. Don't let her tell you otherwise. Yeah, why would we let her speak for herself on that?

Zaslow has been bummed since that song played earlier from Taylor. I was shook. He was emotionally, I'm not going to say broken, but didn't feel like we paused long enough to allow to marinate the emotion of Jessica after four years going from Miami to New York.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Jessica's Top 5 Things She'll Miss In Miami (feat. JuJu Gotti)
Likewise. Before we get to Juju and the polls, real quick, I didn't do this with Mike and Cody today, and I am kind of amazed that things are moving so fast in sports that a Messi situation has escaped our attention today when Greg Cody is desperate to talk at all moments in his life, Lionel Messi.

Postgame Show: Jessica's Top 5 Things She'll Miss In Miami (feat. JuJu Gotti)
We only prepared a Taylor song, which I'm going to say is the greatest of indictments. It's the least effort any of us can provide in terms of anything to have a Taylor song.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Jessica's Top 5 Things She'll Miss In Miami (feat. JuJu Gotti)
Oh, excellent. We will do that and we will play another song that we have. But first, we do have to get to all of these polls because people like the updating of the polls.

I'm going with college Mike, too. Oh, no. Yeah, College Mike, my man Ross, Nate. I'm so excited for this. I was listening to Talladega by Eric Church. And this is the Super Speedway. This is the biggest, most dangerous race on NASCAR's circuit. They do it twice, once here during the regular season, once during the playoff.

Hour 1: You Wanna J-Off With Them? (feat. Brad Williams)
I was texting with Marty Smith yesterday because this is my rookie journey over to Talladega. And he said, it's like Mardi Gras for rednecks. That's a direct quote to which I said, I thought that was Mardi Gras. But there's body parts, beer, fast cars. Apparently, where I'm sitting, right on the finish line, it feels like Armageddon literally every time they go around that track. So I cannot wait.

Remember when he was on with us a couple weeks ago, he said that It's entirely possible that he gets hit by an asteroid on a final lap, and that kind of happened.

And it's about moments, too. You may not know what finished product you're getting, but... If the Falcons draft Michael Penix after they just gave Kirk Cousins one of the biggest contracts at the position in NFL history, that is a seismic event in that sport. And it's just a thrilling made-for-television event. And I understand you don't know whether or not these players are going to be good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: You Wanna J-Off With Them? (feat. Brad Williams)
You could say that about damn near everyone in this draft. But Let's not pretend like fans aren't right a lot more, too, than we're giving them credit for. When the New York Jets fans are booing the pick of Kyle Brady because they pass up on Warren Sapp, that's a moment. That's also almost immediate confirmation that this front office doesn't know what the hell they're doing.

This is also, like, we don't know how bad this injury is. Like, he's got a bruise on his pelvis. He could tough that one out. He was ruled out really quick. He can tough this one out. It could add to his playoff legend, possibly. It was also, like, a freak injury. He's just going up for a board. Dude behind him trips over Draymond. It kind of looked dirty initially.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Well, he won the trade. Shaq's not thought of that way. Shaq did the exact same thing. It was probably less messy, but that didn't mean it wasn't messy at all.

about Kawhi Leonard anymore and when it's the Clippers getting 50 from somebody they're getting it from James Harden but I think we don't talk about him anymore because there's nothing to talk about like there's nothing new we've been doing this with Kawhi Leonard he left in 2019 left Toronto in 2019 so we're going on six years oh no but the same

For sure. For sure. Everybody knows, especially when it comes to college football, because I host College Football Tailgate on ESPN Radio. College football experts. You've got Paul Feinbaum. You've got Heather Dinnage. You've got me. Everybody knows those are your college football experts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
College basketball, I'm not going to say that I'm exactly a college basketball expert, but certainly there are people out there who would like to compete against me. And that's why I'm up there with Seth Greenberg and Jay Billis and Dick Vitale.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
Yo, don't worry about that, alright? All you need to know is that you can compete against me in the Tournament App Challenge. That's it. That's all you need to know. No one's interested in how many players I can name. Nobody's ever thought about that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
Nobody ever starts Z at the beginning, so it's certainly not alphabetical. It's you're trying to get people to sign up on the app. And the way you do that is you put some of your biggest celebrities in the front. And that's why you have my face right there with my pic. Everybody wants to know who I pick. Pick the Gators.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
Everybody sees my face right there and they're like, I would love to compete against this celebrity.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
I mean, you could have said that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
Most celebrities don't oversleep. That's why I'm up there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
Oh my God, this White Lotus. Go on. I'm sorry. No, that's all right. You take it. All I'm saying is I've been watching this White Lotus now for three seasons and I'm watching this one. I watch every single week and I really enjoy the show. Let's not, you know, brush that on the rug. I like the show, but I sit there and I watch this show every single week and nothing happens. Nothing happens.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
Every single week I sit there waiting for something. Something kind of happened this past week. You know, a little incest. Something kind of happened this week. But for the most part, every single week, is there such thing as a little incest? Every single week, I'm waiting for something to happen. And the only thing that ever happens in the show is in the final episode.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
Nothing happens the entire season. I'm just sitting there with nothing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
No one recoiled. That was like, yeah, I get it. I get what he's doing there. What we saw in the White Lotus, I don't get what he's doing there. And part of the weirdness, I guess, was that one of them seemingly really enjoyed it, and the other one did not like it at all.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
But that didn't shock you as much as Sam Rockwell's monologue, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
How did they put both of those in the same episode? A show that gives you nothing every single week, every year. Nothing happens in this show. They gave you both of those in the same episode.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jonathan Yaslow & Jeremy Foreplé
You went so into the sport. Yeah, in hockey. I knew the sport. I knew the sport. I didn't get the reference, though. But then when you got it, you were smiling like I said Ryan Lingerhans.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
I think it's on the crawl right now on ESPN. Dan Labattard says Scott Van Pelt, not important.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Yeah, it's not just, hey, you're about to be on with so-and-so. It's like, oh, all right, I'm going on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
I think he's a trusted guy now on television.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Well, should I give a few right at the top of my head?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Yeah. That was pretty easy, what he just did. That was like nothing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
No. I probably would have had trouble coming up with five, because I would not have had the NFL draft there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
It's the most reckless you could possibly be with money that's NCAA tournaments and gambling on it, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
There's a lot of other things you can do in life. You're gambling your money on something you know nothing about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
because like you're a sloth yeah just just yeah that's too much that 10 hours that's not too much but yeah well if you feel dirty it's probably because it is too much no no i feel dirty but it's not too much like the dirt's worth it i feel gross i've been sitting on my couch all day the food the drinking but at the end i might i may feel like a sloth but i'm like this was a Great day!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
I enjoyed the whole day, and you know what? I'm gonna do it again when I wake up tomorrow.

I'm big on being able to create your own junk shot. Impossible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
It's one of the things I'm known for.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
It's one of the many things we have in common, me and UD.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
I thought you went to Santa Fe. Oh, stop it. What an embarrassment that you would say that. Feeder school. I went to a university. No offense to anyone who went to Santa Fe, but it's a community college, all right? And for someone who went to a university and I have a degree, all right? I have a degree from the University of Florida in journalism.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
To say that I went to community college, I'm sorry, you're offending me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Okay, good for you. Good for you. But I have a degree from a university. So do I. All right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
No, I went to the University of Florida. I started at the University of Central Florida, and then I transferred to the University of Florida.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Listen, we're getting into my backstory.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
I get very excited about the Gators when their basketball team is good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
I didn't bring it up. He did. Dismissed it, though. And I think you did it to aggravate me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Yes, canes, because that's what's best for business. I do a podcast called Zaslow Show 2.0. No one who's listening to Zaslow Show 2.0, a very, very minute number of the millions of listeners care about the Florida Gators. A lot of them care about the Miami Hurricanes. And I do a podcast in Miami, not Gainesville. So I need the hurricanes to do well. That's what's best for business.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
But you say I identify as if like I'm choosing. No, I am a Miami person. It's not a choice. It's not something I identify with.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
I've lived here my whole life, except when I went to school.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Santa Fe Community College really make me angry, man. Yeah. It's insulting. That's all I'm saying, man. I could have sworn you went there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Well, I have zero sympathy for the guy that doesn't enjoy being particularly famous when he's doing this reality show right now. Like, you're going to have to miss me on the I don't like all the fame that's surrounding me. But as someone who doesn't do reality TV, why is this the one that you're picking to watch?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
Yeah, because he's not a leading man, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
They're the new big show, you know, instead of Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann and Gary Streisand and Randy Scott, and they're fantastic. But I feel like one of the big complaints that fans, that viewers have with ESPN television these days is that they want more SportsCenter. They want more highlight shows, that they miss that part.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
You know, the same way that, you know, you get older people say MTV, oh, why don't they have videos anymore? I feel like we're in that place with ESPN where they want more SportsCenter. And Scott Van Pelt, by the way, I think you're wrong about that part because that show is pretty damn important.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: That's What's Best For Business
He gets amazing guests after all the big games, be it, you know, if it's college football game or if it's NBA or even if it's, you know, for next year, Major League Baseball. He gets the great guests on the field, on the court, right after the game. That show's pretty popular. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
I don't think I've made fun of him about it. The column is what it is. There's nothing to make fun of. I think it's the greatest column that he's ever written because everybody knows about it. Everybody knows that he tried to trade Marino. There's no column that stood out more to me as a kid than Greg Cody is saying we should trade Dan Marino.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
You know it's real because it's kids. There's no rules against this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
By the way, speaking of the Warriors, they only have two more games until Golden State comes here. If the Heat are on an 11-game losing streak when Jimmy Butler gets back, that is such an embarrassment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
I don't want the storyline. I'm so embarrassed by it. That's going to be a headline all day long on ESPN television, that Jimmy Butler returns to Miami with the Heat on an 11-game losing streak.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
Great question. I think the answer is yes. And I've also, I thought about this yesterday. Very good coincidence that you brought this up because this was in my head yesterday. I think the crowd will cheer him. I agree. I think you'll hear some boos. I think enough time has gone by. I think the crowd will cheer him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
And, because you know, Mike Biamonte is going to do the whole, the big intro, which I don't like, by the way, but he's going to do the whole big intro at the start. I think Jimmy's going to get a very good position.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
You think it'll just be a picture of him on the Jumbotron? Thank you, Jimmy. Not even a video of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
So, I mean, I think maybe it took it out of there because everybody knows it by heart at this point. It's like you don't need it up there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
I do think they're getting a video. I think you're getting the big introduction at the starting lineup. I think you're getting the video, and then they move on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
LeBron leaving or Jimmy leaving? LeBron, way worse. Well, we gave LeBron a really good, you know... welcome when they came back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
That's not true. The first time they were able to come, and he beat them. Remember Juwan Howard Smith?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
It was so much more devastating. Yeah. So much more.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
This was just nasty is what it was. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
You notice things have gone downhill since I'm not there anymore, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
You've never got up at a game and went, boo!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
Two-time champion, you know. Haven't done any winning since I left.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
Boy, that's gonna be an ugly scene if they're playing a video. and it's just raining down booze. I don't see that. I don't see it either, but man, that will be an ugly scene.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
I'm mostly interested in they're playing that video and then they pan to Pat Riley and he gets up and goes, boo!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
Don Levitard. That was a long story. Yeah. It's the only kind he tells. It was a short one for me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
A lifer. You got kicked out? I mean, I didn't get kicked out by heat. Like, as far as I know, they love me, or they did love me. I don't know, one or the other.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
Well, when Fidel died the first time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
Okay, so I got questions. How do you decide the fans? How is that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
Oh, I understood exactly how you meant it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
I can tell you Duke and Florida are not 65. All right. Those are two of the same.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
No, he's 70 years old. That would have been wild. Which games are the fans watching with you? The championship game. The championship game. Yeah. And how many of these fans? How many qualify?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
Can I tell you, speaking of Penguin, a couple weeks ago, I passed by Batman Returns on television. Penguin, Danny DeVito. Movie's horrible. No, it's a great Christmas movie. Movie is horrible. Christopher Walken's in it. I hadn't seen it in probably 25 years. Movie is horrible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
Ooh, good impression. Nobody thinks it's weird that he looks like that. I know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
Well, I was disgusted because it felt like a part of my childhood was taken from me where the original Batman and Batman Returns I thought were really good movies.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
And then I passed by this dreck with Danny DeVito and I just, how did anyone, I immediately went to Rotten Tomatoes to see what the tomato meter was on Batman Returns because it had to be one of the lowest rated movies ever and I just didn't know it. And like, it's got a high score and I don't get it. The movie is horror-awful.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
Yeah, but everybody knows that movie sucks. I feel like people think Batman Returns is good. It's not. That movie is bad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
Yeah, I know a lot of people want to go back to the 2018 where they only won like 15 games. But here's the thing. Your experience in that season knowing, or at least believing, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. That light being the number one overall pick. We have the worst record in the NBA. It ended up being the number two overall pick. We know how that went, Michael Beasley.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
The most wrong I've ever been in my sports life, Michael Beasley. But this team... There's no light at the end of the tunnel because they're not even going to miss the play-in. Now they may miss the playoffs, but they're still going to be a play-in team even if they lose the rest of the games this season. And there's no light at the end of the tunnel as far as the lottery goes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
So I have found this season to be one of the least enjoyable of my lifetime.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
Well, the part that I have a hard time understanding, not that I disagree with anything you just said, okay? Because this team is rotten, by the way. Like, there is something rotten about this team. But Jimmy Butler, it's not like he was playing for them, and then they traded him, and then everything went downhill. He was suspended. They lost him for—he served at least nine games suspension.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
If I'm remembering correctly, they were not this— They were a game over .500. They were .500. They were two over .500. Like, they weren't this. And they've essentially been playing without Jimmy Butler the entire season. So there is something rotten surrounding this team right now. Because you're right, they're not this bad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
He did nothing in the fourth quarter. 0 for 5, 0 points in the fourth quarter. Agreed, but again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
They don't have a guy. Like, we watched the Pistons, and Cade Cunningham is able to go out there. He's a dude. Do what he wants. We used to have a guy. They don't have a guy anymore who could do that. And Tyler here is just not big enough to do that, especially in the fourth quarter when everything tightens up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
He says he whispered it. He says he whispered it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
Was there any part of you, Jeremy, that almost, because me, if I was in your spot and especially a younger version of me, you're a little bit younger than me, especially a younger version of me. I know people can't tell because we look like we're the same age, but you are younger than me. A younger version of me would have chucked the microphone on the floor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Mark's Wife Emmy
Yeah. It's like the stickers. Buckeyes. Okay. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The downside is, like, learning stuff we don't want to know. Like, you know, where it's just like, oh, all these animals at the zoo, they're, like, isolated, so they're all crazy people. Like, they're just, like, talking to the rocks, like, hey, good to see you today, rock. And it's just like, oh, that's sad. That elephant's talking to that rock over there.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey. Think about the Netflix show that you could pitch. I can talk to animals.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Reveals a Secret About the Grid of Death
Trying to think of how you would prove it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Reveals a Secret About the Grid of Death
I just wish, though, like, you're on a boat, you're out on a boat, you see, like, a dolphin come by. Like, that dolphin's talking shit. That dolphin's talking shit about our boat.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Reveals a Secret About the Grid of Death
The more I think this out, we can't talk to animals. We can just understand them. So it's like the ability to talk to animals would be awesome. But if I'm just able to understand, I can't communicate back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I know. I would be like, why would the squirrels be that mean?

I just noticed your shirt, by the way, sturdy wings.

Remember, you can't talk to them in this scenario. You can only understand.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Reveals a Secret About the Grid of Death
But that's more attainable, though. Somebody could essentially study. Not every language, but you could study and learn a bunch of languages, whereas nobody can learn to talk to animals.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Reveals a Secret About the Grid of Death
I'm going to write books. I'm going to start podcasts. You don't know the content opportunity if I can understand animals.

Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Nein, ich bin sicher von dem Heat, aber will ich da sitzen und weinen, dass ich den Heat... Wenn der Heat das Spiel verlieren würde, also die Pearl Jam-Tickets verliere, würde ich den Heat hassen. Ich würde nicht ablein, mich zu retten. Die Werten wären so hoch für mich. Ich mag das nicht.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Nein, ich mag das nicht. Ich mag das nicht. Was meinst du mit nein? Sie nehmen den Scheiß, oder? Ja, sie machen das. Das ist die ganze Sache. Das ist die ganze Sache eines Wettbewerbs. Wenn du sicher bist, riskierst du etwas. Ja, weißt du was? Versteck es. Lass uns es machen. Versteck es. Die Hawks? The Hawks?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Ja, das ist der Grund, warum ich richtig gut geschlafen habe. Ich konnte die Nacht durchgehen, weil, obwohl ich die Tickets nicht in der Hand habe, It feels like I might be going.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Es gibt nichts in meinem Leben, das mir so viel Freude bringt, als Pearl Jam zu sehen. Ich liebe sie so sehr. Ich habe angefangen, als ich 16 Jahre alt war. Ich habe mit ihnen verliebt. Ich habe sie 27 Mal gesehen. Es ist kein Wettbewerb, aber ich habe sie 27 Mal gesehen. Und jetzt nehme ich meinen Sohn mit mir. Manchmal beide, aber jetzt nehme ich meinen Sohn mit mir.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Er ist 16, ich war 16, als ich zuerst an den Shows begonnen habe. Es ist also das, was wir jetzt zusammen tun und es ist die größte Freude meines Lebens. Lässt er es wirklich lieben? Er liebt es.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Oh my God. I mean, give me, I'll name every song in two notes. Alright, I know every song they're about to play. I love it so much.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Yeah! I mean, that's old school.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
We're betting for the second show now, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Of course I'm risking a lot. I need to be at both shows. I'm risking everything here. I'm confused.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
More difficult than Taylor Swift.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
It's been a few weeks now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
It's just, it's, yeah. And you were not going to get good tickets. Not going to get tickets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Okay, so when I say no, then what happens? How much do you believe in the heat? Do I just get the tickets anyway? No, no, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Yeah, the Heat are going into Atlanta tomorrow night. They're winning that game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
One total night away. If they lose. Well, but the point is, why do I have to do that? Can I just say? To prove your allegiance to the Heat and how much you believe in that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Yeah, but who gives a shit? I wanna go to Pearl Jam.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Das ist wahrscheinlich der Wagen. Yeah, so if the Heat win... Am I willing to put the Heat win on the line versus working for free? That's probably the wager.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
I'm ready. I'm ready. Yeah, I'm right. If that's the wager, so Pearl Jam tickets, you have them. I don't have them, you have them for me. Am I wagering to get those tickets?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Das Beste ist, ich bin gestern nach Hause gegangen und habe meinem Sohn gesagt, hey, ich denke, wir haben die Pearl Jam Tickets bekommen. Er war so glücklich, er war so überrascht und er fragt, wie? Ich sage, David Sampson von der Levitard Show. Und mein Sohn sagt, du meinst den Mann, den alle hassen? Ja. Uncle David.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Ich würde nicht dort gehen, weil ich schmerzhaft wäre, wenn ich dort bin. Aber ich könnte es, wenn ich will. Es ist so nah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Er ist einfach so... So unverschämt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Okay, Taylor Swift spielt in einem Publikum von 60.000 Sitzungen. Das ist wahr. Sagst du, Pearl Jam ist besser als Taylor Swift? Nein, ich sage, es ist ein schwieriger Ticket. Du hast recht. Ein schwieriger Ticket? Ja, es sind nur etwa 8.000 Sitzungen. You know how math works, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
They're gonna take that ass. Well, yeah, it's not just how much do I believe in the heat. It's also working for free. My wife loves money. I don't know if you know this about wives. They love money. They love it. So that I have to go home... Und sie zu sagen, ich arbeite gratis, ist nicht der ideale Szenario. Wives lieben Geld.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Ich liebe Pearl Jam so viel mehr als ich Geld liebe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Keine Ahnung, es gab keinen Moment, in dem du dachtest, dass die Bulls das machen würden. Die Bulls, die nahesten sie hatten, waren 13.

Most improved has to go to a guy who was number one overall at some point. It's crazy. I hate the way they do it. Dumb award.

Nächste Nacht, wie schlimm sind sie für die Atlanta Hawks?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Ich weiß nicht, was die Cleveland Cavaliers schon gewonnen haben. Die Jungs auf diesem Heat-Team sind in den Finals gekommen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Darf ich etwas fragen? Ich will hier seriös sein. Darf ich etwas fragen? Das ist etwas, mit dem ich mich wirklich verwirrt fühle. Ich habe dieses Gespräch mit meinem Sohn im letzten Monat zu Hause. Denn mein Sohn mag wirklich, was er von Davion Mitchell sieht. Und man, der Block, den er auf Colby White hatte und die Verletzung.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Er ist ein Hund. Das ist die Kultur. Oh, jeder hasst das. Ist Davion Mitchell gut? Es ist einer von denen, wo ich nicht weiß. Ich kann es nicht erzählen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Nein, ich spreche über alles. Er könnte gut sein. Aber ich weiß es nicht. Ich kann es nicht erzählen. Einige Nächte.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Ich bin sicher, dass sie die erste 10-Siege sind, um in die Finals zu kommen. Fairly certain. Not 100%. Fairly certain. What a night. What a day. I had a day. Can we be honest? It was a good day. We're doing good day or bad day.

There was not a single moment in that game that you thought Chicago had a chance. You know what? Let's just get to brass tacks here. You know what happened in the Bulls last night? Does somebody want to ask me what happened in the Bulls last night? Zaz, what happened in the Bulls? Got that ass took.

Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
You're talking about the greatest playing team. in der Geschichte der NBA. Und das hier ist nicht etwas, das man diskutieren kann. Denn alle Fakten sind auf meiner Seite. Und du denkst, dass das größte Spielteam in der Geschichte der NBA morgen in Atlanta geht? Sie verlieren gegen die hübschen Hawks? Das ist das, was du mir erzählst?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Ich weiß es nicht. Ich sehe niemanden in der Heat-Jersey, der sein Kopf geworfen hat. Ich weiß nicht, worüber du sprichst. Cleveland Cavaliers. Was haben sie jemals gewonnen?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
They're these little tacks and they're made out of brass. Yeah, literally. T-A-C-K-S. They get everybody's attention.

Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Well, they are going to get Golden State's pick. They are going to have a first-round pick. It's going to be in the late teens instead of what would have been the early teens. I mean, come on. What are we talking about here? It's not that much of a difference.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Greatest Play-In Team in The History of the NBA
Oh, but come on. A 3% chance. That's what we're talking about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

It's to get into the top four. Right, right. I'm talking about to get number one. Yes, correct.

You think? Ich meine, das ist wirklich nie passiert für dieses Franchise. Niemals. Wir sind bereit.

Hour 2: Have a Gold Day (feat. Ros Gold-Onwude)
Yeah, so I don't think Amin presented it very well to you, Roz, because he's saying if you covered a championship— I didn't cover a championship to Miami Heat team. I did not cover them. I was on the broadcast. And so I was given rings. That's why, Roz, I am a two-time, not once. The Heat won two years in a row. I'm a two-time champion broadcaster.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Have a Gold Day (feat. Ros Gold-Onwude)
That's a very good question, Roz. Thank you for asking. I keep them in a really, really fancy case on my dresser in the master bedroom of the Zaslow Mansion. And when I go to a very nice event, like, say, a wedding like I did a couple weeks ago, I put one of those babies on. Not both of them, Roz, because that would be super gaudy. But I wear one of them. Class. Only class.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Have a Gold Day (feat. Ros Gold-Onwude)
Well, yeah, because my kids and my wife have legs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Have a Gold Day (feat. Ros Gold-Onwude)
Ross, take a look at that. Those are my rings. That's middle, not metal. Middle tier, not metal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Have a Gold Day (feat. Ros Gold-Onwude)
I have a certificate of authenticity, but I don't have a valuation of price.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Have a Gold Day (feat. Ros Gold-Onwude)
I mean, is your name on the ring? Of course. Yes, of course. You're right. Of course, Roz. Of course.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Have a Gold Day (feat. Ros Gold-Onwude)
Maybe Jacob was busy. I don't recall that name. But the name of the jeweler is on the box. Yes. Maybe I'll take a picture when I get home today.

Greg, can you listen? Amin's trying to talk in the other room.

The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
They're not the same person. Zazz is so much stranger. So much stranger. They're not the same person at all. How dare you? Zazz is a journalist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
No, wait a minute. That means you don't have a ring. Hold on. That means you don't actually have a ring. It's a ring in your personal record book. That's a revelation. It's not a ring. The whole thing was stunning. The whole thing was stunning. But most stunning of all is that Amin is claiming to have a ring he doesn't have.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

It's a physical thing. It's a jewel with value. Less if the Marlins are giving it to you. More if the Heat are.

Let's move on. Let's move on. People in here are chirping at me. Stop with the journalism stuff. Only you and Greg Cody care. Fanalists. Fanalists. Top five fanalists. Are you ready to do what I mean? Top five fanalists. OLI. Mike Greenberg.

The whole thing's pathetic.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
Yeah. Way better. Is that a ruling? Look, I'm making a ruling. I'm making a ruling. Is that a ruling from Judge Zaslow? Or is it because I'd like to just put one more thing in front of your honor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
Okay, so I'm part of the staff. Were you on the bench? Hold on, hold on, because I'm going to find out. How far down the bench do I have to go here? He does not have the actual gold medal. He does not have any of the rings. Neither does Coach K. He's saying he's a decorated champion. We've lost the decorations. We've lost the decorations. No, the decorations can't be in your mind.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
Decorations are right in here. Decorations are a talliable thing, and money is a tangible thing.

So he came in here. angry and we should have ridden it into the sky. No one should have gotten into the way. We could have ridden that for a week. He's delirious. He's 10 minutes late. He had no idea what was going on in life and he's coming in combative because he wants to fight me because he's mad at me for two days because I was an asshole to his son.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

It's been happening since I've known him. He'll just go into non sequiturs about Robert Goulet.

The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
Come on, guys. Guys, guys, guys, we need to get our chemistry down, okay? We've got David on remote, and we've got Greg Cody here. And when we play the WDEI music, we need everyone to get out of the way so Tony can do his mixed martial arts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Good producing to hear that. You were late to the show, you would have known.

The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
Late with cause?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
I don't know if David Sampson can hear us. That's a handsome man right there. He has gone out on sound. You guys can put him down and talk to him off air. We'll bring him back in a second. That is Robert Goulet. God, look at those eyes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
It's a good move. I mean, if you're a wrestling character, it's a great move.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
I will tell you the only thing you need to know about the illustrious beefcake that is Robert Goulet. There is something about the pronouncing of his last name with that flourish that makes him a little more of a sexual icon. And Goulet is Cody's wheelhouse. And it's how it is that we're doing back in my day again. And we're doing it live around here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
Well, it's not Tuesday, so he's not doing it today. But the way that we're doing it now is he just opines on the past in a way that's florid. And he's coming in here and he wants to talk about Sam Jones's bank shot, which we learned goes off of the side of the back corner and then goes in.

It can't be. She didn't have in the kitchen a hundred-year-old oil that she just kept in a cupboard? She got it from the Rockefellers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
Put it on the poll. Does oil last forever as long as you strain it? Right. It does. I just, a hundred years, you're claiming. Jack. Greg Cody, are you claiming. Yeah. As truth. The same way you claimed as truth that you had seen Wilt Chamberlain's final game, or hundred point game on video, even though no video exists.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
Are you claiming that there is verifiable proof or even oral history proof in your household that would confirm that you are the descendant of an oil that was in the home for a hundred years before your arrival?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
There's no way that's true. There's no way the family just kept passing down oil and moving trucks and wagons and however it is that the overweight Codys were traveling.

I saw the stat the other day in the second round the last three years on TNT. The Knicks are like 7-1 in postseason games. They're like 0-9 on ESPN. In New York, there is a funny thing happening with fans do not want Stephen A proclaiming to be a Knicks fan.

He's a business assassin. He is not a creative genius. So when he programs a channel, do not listen to him. It is unwise. Do not do it with the late Richard Simmons. That would be a bad idea. You should be more entertaining and creative than that. I will tell you that his business information, I've told you this before,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
That move, Mike, that you just pointed out, the move of the information guy being used by the entity to spread news that the listener reader is not sophisticated enough to digest. David Sampson and John Skipper have discussed the business of that. It's a little bit dirty. The business of that in a way I haven't heard anywhere else.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
And David, what are you saying specifically to Jeff Passan, who it sounds like you're saying is doing someone's bidding as as baseball's information guy?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
You can't say you're not disparaging him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
What kind of beef is that? There's a beef. What are you beefing about? With prejudice. You're not disparaging Jeff Passon while disparaging him. David, do you think, just out of curiosity, lawyer, do you think disparagement is when you decide it's disparagement?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
That's not that's not journal. You're alleging that you're alleging and I don't know who gets to judge this on that. Jeff Passan isn't a journalist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
Nothing personal is great. We ran out of time. I'm sorry, David. You've got to go. Are you going to make a ruling here, Zaz?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Are you more of a journalist than Amin El-Hassan? Because he reported the Timberwolves story of Jimmy Butler.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Can we examine for a second? I need to get to the text from last night because I think you guys will find it interesting. And I also find interesting how often we can reframe the Jimmy Butler story from game to game, series to series, how loud noise in public relations can be around teams.

When I just said to you the most horrible thing I can say about non-injured NBA player where they are in the state of their career. Barkley knows it. Wade knows it. They knew it at the end. Pump fake Jimmy. is not 40 points a game playoff Jimmy. And pump fake Jimmy, what he knows is, holy shit, these guys, these young people, I've toughed them out for 15 years, but here come the young people.

Zaslow, why did you just squeal? Yesterday it was a snort. Right now it was a squeal. You pointed to the set of Get Up here in the upper left-hand corner of the studio, and you had a radiant smile on your face. You were just buoyant, and it wasn't Panthers, and it wasn't the hatred of the Celtics or the Knicks. What was happening?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
They've got fingers down to their, you know, ankles, and they're hanging on the rim, and they're bigger than me, and now I got to pump fake. And it's not going to be playoff Jimmy. It's pump fake Jimmy because my time's done. My time's over. Minnesota's big, man. What am I going to do? They're really big, and I can't get 40 foul shots.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
That's one of the reasons I think they're legitimately dangerous.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
Let me explain some of it to you, okay, if I can, please, because Jimmy is three for eight in his last 11 elimination games, okay? So it's been a minute since you saw whatever it is that you remember.

The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
Kevin O'Connor says, quote, he hasn't dominated a game since the end of the Heat-Bucks series over two years ago, racks up seven rebounds per game and six assists per game, but regularly plays passively and scores inefficiently. And then this quote from Steve Kerr, and here's a cutter, okay, because it's where the argument was for the Heat and Jimmy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
Once Steph went out, it changed everything for our whole team, but especially for Jimmy. Yeah. And okay, and yes, you can tell me, you can say to me, Dan, and they'll come back next year and they'll build it more around Jimmy. And I'm like, Amin, you and I have been talking for about two or three years. You really respect this process.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
You know that Golden State is dangerous because they know how to be a champion. And I kept telling you, they're old, they're old, they're old. And you're telling me, Steph's old.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
He wasn't out there. There's no stuff that they came for. No, my point is that you got Jimmy to be a number two. You got Jimmy to be a number two because you're recognizing that he's aging. My point is, in the argument about where it is these people argued about money with Jimmy Butler, five years of LeBron James in Miami birthed that. The ego of that, the business of that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
Five years of Jimmy Butler in Miami birthed someone who had the ego of, I'm playoff Jimmy. Everyone else bows to me. I am the things that I believe. The text I got last night is, how many conference finals has Jimmy been to without Tyler Hero and Bam? How many conference finals has he gotten to? He took the five years in Miami.

It is fair to say what this sport does this time of year to the body should not be underestimated. It gets ruined by Steph getting injured. And Jimmy was also hurt, incidentally. He played 55 games this year. No, but hurt. And Steve Kerr has said that if this were the regular season, Jimmy probably would have still been out from what happened earlier in the series.

Okay, put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Is Zaz's ring made out of tinfoil at Levitard Show? I also think, though, I think one of the things happening here, David, I don't think I have this wrong.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
But I may have this wrong. Can you guys find for me... The goat one? I don't like the goat one. I told you that. Put the goal on the screen. The rings of the Miami Heat, I believe, the low-end ring of the Miami Heat would be not cubic zirconia. I believe the Marlins would do that to their employees. I don't believe the Heat would do that to its employees. So can I find out?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
I'm going to try and find out. Because I don't think the lowest ring for the Miami Heat would be $1,000. I would assume it would be about $5,000.

The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
David... Did you know that Amin reported the story of Jimmy Butler and he too is now a journalist? Because the myth of Jimmy Butler, the moment, Amin's making fun of me for talking about moments.

The Big Suey: Apple Time, Apple Time (feat. David Samson)
Real ballers know. Stugatz got a ring for selling Marlins tickets in 1997. That was a previous administration to David Sampson, but I believe that would be the cubic zirconia ring. I don't believe Zaz's ring is cubic zirconia, and I do believe that makes a difference if it's diamonds or if it's not.

Okay, bottom line is, if my house were on fire, I would grab the rings. They're very, very important to me. Because not everyone can claim, Greg. Matter of fact, I've never heard anybody else claim being a champion broadcaster. And not just that, I'm a two-time champion broadcaster.

Even Game 2, I mean, obviously I was nervous, but it's why after Game 1 and the Leafs won, Leafs fans were excited. They should have been. It was 1-0. I was like, you know, we're fine.

Ekblad's not a great skater.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
He's been great, though, this postseason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
He has, but the last two games, he had that – Really unfortunate thing happened to his ankle, and when this is over, we'll find out how hurt everybody is. And he's not necessarily a player that has shown you he can maintain a really good level of form if he's hurt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

He's going to be great tonight. He's going to be great.

Panther team they've been better on the road in the postseason they don't get phased with these road crowds the biggest problem to me with playing this game on the road tonight is not having last change that's a major major deal we're never I mean really rarely going to be about Barkov and Forsling and Ekblad on the ice at the same time Maurice has to pick one or the other it's a fantastic point
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
So when we talk about home ice advantage, the crowd, that doesn't matter. It's about not being able to get our guys on the ice all the time alongside McDavid. So that is a major disadvantage for tonight's game. That's the part that I'm most worried about. But I know our guys are going to be great tonight. I know they are.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
Last change really pokes its head out. It's a big deal. When you have a face-off in your own zone. Yeah, it's a big deal. Everything else can be on the fly. We've seen McDavid. We've seen Knobloch send McDavid out on the ice when Barkov's not on the ice. He didn't need to be a home team to take that advantage. So you're going to have to take it where you can get it. But it can't be understated.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
We're going to start with the Barkov line tonight. Maurice is going to hand in his card. We're going to start with the Barkov line. And they're going to start with their second line. McDavid's not going to start for Edmonton tonight. Because we're going to put our first line out there to begin the game. And that's where the chess match begins. Now, not that I don't trust Paul Maurice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
Because it's amazing that I was calling him all year last year the murderer of fun. And I kicked him out of my city. And now I love him so much. Paul Maurice is my dog. He is my dog. So I trust him. But look. That's my biggest concern tonight, is not being able to match up with McDavid. But I think tonight's going to be one of the best nights of my life. I'm so excited.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
Dan, earlier you said that in 96, they went through two guys that are McDavid in Jaromir Jagr and Mario Lemieux, two of the all-time greats. They have another McDavid on their team. Dreisaitl, he's been fairly quiet, not recently. And his biggest impact in the series has been that dirty hit that he had on Barkov. But they have two of the top five players in the world. This is a really good team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
And because McDavid is that good, the Dreisaitl thing is not really a storyline. They have the two best players. in this series. And everybody else, like, Florida just throws waves upon waves of depth. And that depth, things like the fourth line decision, taking out Lawrence, taking out Oposo, that's going to matter tonight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
He's also never done it. When you look back, he's coached among the all-time leaders in games coached. He's also among the all-time leaders in losses. He's never done it. Ever.

All right. That was cutting. Roy's speaking to what's bothered me up there, like top two things that's bothered me about this is this should be a moment of arrival and a moment of legitimacy. And it might still be. Well, it may be. It will be. Well, there's a nice little guarantee right there from Dan. But I think we've made this a circus.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
I'm not happy with my actions today because this is taking attention away from what should be if this team does it. Talked about as one of the greatest teams in the 21st century. Whoever wins this series is going to be stacked up with the Penguins and the Blackhawks. Overcoming this group of teams this postseason. is a monster run. It's not just the postseason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
It's the regular season too and how great everybody was. And for once in my life as a Panther fan, I felt like I was being taken seriously and people were having to already cope once they went up 3-0 with the fact that this market has arrived. The ugly stepchild of the state of Florida when it comes to hockey has finally been here and we're fighting amongst ourselves.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
We're trying to put up billboards before the thing's been done and we've made an absolute circus of these things. when all I wanted was what Zaslow gave me. All I wanted was talking about the quality of the ice and talking about Nick Cousins and his discipline. That's all I ever wanted out of this stuff.

I love Roy. I said I had Roy on my show yesterday, and your response was that's a good get. And it was a good get.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
I am not attacking Roy. And just not admit that you said something stupid. Roy's had such great content over these last few weeks. It's among the best work he's ever done. I really like Roy. Roy, can I ask you one quick question, though? Roy, are you there? You've traveled to – is this the fourth game that you've traveled to this postseason?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
What is your record? That's an important question. Very important.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
Two and two is a good road record in the playoffs. It is. I do not want to cope with that, Roy. And that is a long flight. And for you, it's probably three connections. I don't even want to consider what our lives would look like if they lose this game. And everybody in North America will be saying this series is essentially over.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

And this market would have to endure a second straight year of having a team in the summer blow a 3-0 lead.

No, you're making that up. I've never heard that. You've made that up. I'm going to start that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
Yes, he is. He's also a Panthers fan. Can we get Roy's analysis then? So are you then. By that math. You're not a Panther fan, dude. You're rooting for them too. You're supposed to be a champion for this market. You've always been like the fan columnist. You're a Homer. You're a Dolphin fan. Look. Look, Box and Roy out, and I feel bad about it. Okay, let's go to Roy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
the biggest game of our lives. Where is Roy? There he is. He covers the team. David Dwork covers the team. I want to know what the vibes are. I want to know if this team that has never been this close, if I can read into the fact that they've lost the two games and they've lost the two games on aggregate by a lot, not by a little.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
I want to know if what we saw through the regular season is going to play itself out or if that Edmonton team is too good and they figured something out. Roy, talk me off the ledge, pal. That's the nicest pal I've delivered today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
Just cut to it. Are they going to win tonight, Roy? Come on. Can you tell them to start Evander Kane?

Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
You're going to be remembered for this. People are going to be so angry. They are going to remember you for this. You've had a great career here, a legendary writer for the Miami Herald, and that should be your legacy. That should be what everybody remembers one day. Wow, Greg Cody, amazing writer, represented the Herald and South Florida.

But if the Panthers lose, they're going to remember you for this. And you shouldn't be remembered for this. You should not be remembered for the Panthers losing. You should be remembered for saying Marino should have been traded. Not this!

Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
Well, see, that's my point. That's my point right there. I don't even disagree with the things that you're saying, okay? What you're saying is completely logical, all right? But saying what you said about McDavid, it's not going to help the situation. It could only hurt, and we know that it got back to him. Conor McDavid's father knows him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
You think Conor McDavid's father's keeping a secret at this point? He definitely called his son up and said, hey, listen, son, you know, I know you got some things on your mind, but there's this Greg Cote who's down in South Florida, says you're overrated. What are you going to do about it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
Now, maybe nothing, maybe he doesn't do anything about it, but maybe he does do something about it, all right? Maybe he'll walk asleep in China. That's all I'm saying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Pouring Gasoline On An Idiot
He had one point, though, through the first three games. Maybe he said, listen, it's bad enough to lose the Stanley Cup final. I also don't want Greg Cote to end up being right. So look at you now. Game four and game five, he's the best player you've ever seen. Maybe it did wake a sleeping giant.

Yeah, well, first of all, Dan Hurley, let's not confuse anyone. His friends call him Bob, yeah. Dan Hurley.

The Big Suey: Give Me That Plain Stick (feat. Lucy Rohden)
He's definitely having a fun time in college, but it's not just about which is more fun, being the big man on campus at Duke or being a professional player in the number one overall pick. It's about what is going to play for Washington or Charlotte going to do to my career, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Give Me That Plain Stick (feat. Lucy Rohden)
Well, because I live in Cooper City. Like, I haven't needed a coat. And then ESPN springs on me, hey, you're going to travel the entire country during college football season. I'm like, okay. And then I learned not everywhere is the same weather as Cooper City.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Give Me That Plain Stick (feat. Lucy Rohden)
That is true. These guys have that ego where they believe they're going to be the reason for the winning. But, man, we were probably saying the same type of stuff, and I know injury plays a role, but Zion Williamson was supposed to be that guy. You're going to draft him number one overall, and he's going to turn your franchise around.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Give Me That Plain Stick (feat. Lucy Rohden)
And it's like, hey, he's with an organization that hasn't really done anything, and now he's toiling away there, and they're still kind of a garbage franchise.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Give Me That Plain Stick (feat. Lucy Rohden)
Yeah, but we're talking about that as if the career-ending injuries are a common thing. That doesn't really happen, actually.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Give Me That Plain Stick (feat. Lucy Rohden)
You give me a list of places to go to have fun. Duke is not on that list. I guess what I'm getting at is Dollywood, if he declares for and he will, if he declares for the NBA draft and then you got the draft lottery at the end of May and the Washington Wizards win that draft lottery. No one is sitting down and having just a conversation saying, look.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Give Me That Plain Stick (feat. Lucy Rohden)
you would be a year further away from getting that next huge contract. But also, let's consider, do you want to play somewhere where you're winning 25 games every single season? Is that going to make you happy?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Give Me That Plain Stick (feat. Lucy Rohden)
No, there's a difference between a bad team and a poorly run team. Utah is a really bad team. Danny Ainge knows what he's doing. If Utah gets the number one overall pick, Cooper Flagg is likely going to be in a really good situation. If the Wizards get the number one overall pick, he's going to be in a terrible situation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

He was like the lead. Him and Leo were the lead.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Give Me That Plain Stick (feat. Lucy Rohden)
I mean, he's leaving the floor essentially accusing the referees of cheating. You lost to the number one seed in the region, a team who only behind Duke, everyone else is picking Florida to win the national championship. You didn't lose because of cheating. I mean, this guy, they won the national championship the last two years, winning every game by double figures.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Give Me That Plain Stick (feat. Lucy Rohden)
I mean, all the games were, I think the closest one was UM where they lost by, where they won by 13. That was like the closest game. And now when they finally lose, he's accusing the officials of cheating and Yelling to Baylor, I hope they don't F you the way they F'd us. And then he gets to the press conference and with the crocodile tears. My God. Oh, he is a rough watch. Get out of here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Give Me That Plain Stick (feat. Lucy Rohden)
He is so unlikable.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Give Me That Plain Stick (feat. Lucy Rohden)
Does he really hope they don't do that to Baylor? Like, he's thinking himself right. He hopes he does. Their season ended. God, I hope Baylor doesn't have that happen to them. What's going to happen to Baylor?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

So... My son's at an age at 16 where his friends, they're all on social media, and his friends say, hey, look at this clip. It's your dad on the Levitard show, you know, the other day. And okay, you know, my son's not that impressed with it, but he then sees, he looks at the comments, you know, and my son said, he goes, I gotta tell you, the comments, people really liked you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Give Me That Plain Stick (feat. Lucy Rohden)
And I go, it'll even out. All right, don't worry about that. And then he says, I'll tell you who they don't like. And I'm like, oh, okay. He goes, that Samson guy. And so I laughed. He doesn't know who he is, though. I said, do you know who David Samson is? He's like, he thinks he's just a personality on your show. And I guess that makes sense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Give Me That Plain Stick (feat. Lucy Rohden)
If you're 16 and David Sampson hasn't been the president of the Marlins in, what, seven years? Like, it makes sense. Like, yeah, he was the president of the Marlins. He swindled the city and got the stadium. Like, you know, everybody hates him. They're cheap. Whatever.

So I've talked about this a bit recently on ESPN Radio with Cooper Flagg, where we're in an age where, OK, he could make as much staying another year at Duke as he would his first year salary, almost as much maybe in the NBA, even if he's the number one overall pick. You enter the draft, you see the Wizards or the Hornets. These are godforsaken franchises, okay? I don't want to go play there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Give Me That Plain Stick (feat. Lucy Rohden)
You pull out of the draft, you're going to go back to school at Duke, you know, because being the big man on campus, pretty awesome, really fun life, and you're going to make a lot of money. But the pushback that I've gotten, and it is interesting, the pushback that I've gotten is...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Give Me That Plain Stick (feat. Lucy Rohden)
If you stay another year in school, you're delaying yourself another year of getting that first contract after your rookie deal. And that first contract, by the time he gets there five years from now, I mean, it's like a $200-plus million deal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Give Me That Plain Stick (feat. Lucy Rohden)
That makes sense. I see she's a very busy young lady. I've never talked to her before.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Give Me That Plain Stick (feat. Lucy Rohden)
Right, but it's a lottery. It's not the NFL draft where the worst team, and they're going to be terrible again, and the worst team gets that pick.

So, yes, we all saw that, that apparently it was a big point of contention that Malone would play Westbrook too much. He would play him in the fourth quarter. But don't we now have to question the validity to that if in the first playoff game of the season, the interim coach plays him the whole fourth quarter? 34 minutes. Like, wouldn't you be doing the opposite?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Sie haben ein Team zerstört, das großartig war. Von Fan-Standpunkt her, ich gehe zu vielen Spielen und ich habe es jeden Abend genossen, in die Arena zu gehen und zu denken, dass die Panthers 10 Tore schießen könnten, weil es eine legitime Möglichkeit war. Sie könnten 10 Tore schießen.

The coach came in and was like, the style is gonna change. We're gonna play playoff hockey in the regular season. Listen, pal, if you're six points out of the final playoff spot, you're not playing playoff hockey in the playoffs. I just enjoyed the team. I liked the team.

A team that was amazing. From a fan standpoint, I go to a lot of games and I just enjoy every night going to the arena thinking that the Panthers might score 10. Because it was a legitimate possibility. They might score 10 goals. They only want the cup. Der Trainer kam rein und sagte, der Stil wird sich verändern.

See, this is my problem with the Wolves. Wolves should be up 3-0 right now. You know, Steph Curry leaves the game in the middle of the second quarter. It was a 12-point game. The closest the Wolves got the rest of the day was 9. They made up 3 points at one point with no Steph Curry. They should be on the verge of sweeping Golden State tonight.

Ich liebe die Idee, This was all so close to never happening because you could actually go back to the end of Game 5. Marchand had a breakaway with seconds remaining and Bobrovsky makes the save to send the game to overtime. The Panthers win Game 5, win Game 6, win Game 7. Think how close we were to all of this never happening if Brad Marchand scores on a breakaway that Bobrovsky winds up saving.

Local Hour: The Last Real Florida Panthers Fan
But the difference is, it's not like New York, where New York sends the five picks and they get Mikel Bridges and they're adding him to Towns and to Jalen Brunson and to all of that. The only way the Heat would have all these picks would be if they traded away the current good players. Okay, fine. So now, maybe Milwaukee would agree to trade for those picks, but... Ist Giannis gut?

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Last Real Florida Panthers Fan
No, I don't think anyone is arguing that. And I would take exception to the idea that he'd already have the worst hand just because I would trade Jason Tatum for Giannis. Doesn't mean the Celtics would do that. And it doesn't mean that all those, you know, the 29 other teams in the league would take their top star.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Last Real Florida Panthers Fan
It doesn't mean Minnesota would take whoever and trade, or Denver would take whoever and trade for Giannis. Like... Wenn wir uns nur auf Miami konzentrieren, ja, ich glaube die Heater wären auf dem Punkt, wo sie BAM auswählen würden. Sicherlich würden sie Hero auswählen. Ich glaube, sie würden BAM für Giannis auswählen. Ich weiß nicht, ob die anderen Teams das tun würden.

It's so stressful. It's a stressful situation. It is so stressful. When you go to like a Springsteen concert where the demographics are that I'm on the young side. They want to sit. There's a lot of sitting.

And I'm a stander. And I was at a Springsteen concert with a friend of mine who is a she's just a friend, but attractive and tall woman. And we're together. Well, yeah, like Dan's X, but he's really tall. And someone so someone said, hey, sit down. Oh, no, you can't do that at a concert.

Then why aren't you in GA, the person said. Now it's on. That's a really old person who's talking to you. Now I'm getting upset. Because now I'm thinking, I'm not being recognized, right? We're all good? Like, I'm just a normal guy at a Springsteen concert?

40? 40 minutes. It was outrageous. Like the 15th pick that were still playing. There was this hit. And the only thing I was thinking of when I saw the hit is I was frantic that Barkov's skate was going to come up and there'd be a neck slash, if anyone remembers that.

Can we get an update from you, Cody? Nope, still good. Still nothing. So, by the way, you're way slower than the players are. They can down a thing of Gatorade, a thing of water, and they're going pee-pee immediately after the game twice. Man.

Wear the sneakers. I'm fine. But what is that called? Is that the dab? Was he dabbing him? Dab. Yeah. Dab? Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Still Standing
It's totally explainable. This every year. Remember when he did it during COVID from his basement? Yeah, the chair. And he had that chair? Yeah. He's always trying to be the cool guy. And I've been accused, the reason I'm sensitive to this is I was once accused of it. My fifth year as a team president, I was accused, hey, you're trying too hard to be cool because I was young.

Where I was trying to... Be amongst the players.

Well, no, we're always in there working, but this was on a team plane when I was in the back and we were playing drinking games on a flight where we shouldn't have been drinking.

None. And as I got older, I did it and it was better. But when I'm younger and they're my age, it wasn't as good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Still Standing
When I'm older and doing it, then it's, oh, this guy's an old sick guy. I'm glad he's doing it with us. So it changed throughout my career. And so I was thinking about Roger Goodell the whole time watching him. We know that you're an older guy. We know you have nothing in common with these players. You don't need to try. There's no benefit. We already have full sponsorship.

There's ancillary content everywhere, including what we did last night in Nashville, where the toothache obviously kept Stu Gatz from being there. But we had Hawkins and we had Mikey A. We had Walter. We had Billy having fun in Nashville. All this ancillary content is happening. And they've done it. The NFL's done it. And I was jealous the whole draft.

Who's got something fun? No way. What do you mean? First of all, I don't see Roger Goodell spending the night in Green Bay. I see him flying in and out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Still Standing
He's got an Airbnb situation. Come on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Still Standing
I would like to find out where Roger Goodell spent the night in Green Bay, if we can possibly get our crack staff to figure that out. And then I would like to understand how it's even possible that he would have time to rehearse. And I can't think of the player's name who he did it with. I want to say it could have been Travis Hunter with the two pick, but I can't remember it exactly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Google AI coming to the rescue again. I grant you there are not a lot of five stars in Green Bay. And it used to be that when football teams go in there, they're only in for a night. They come in Saturday and they fly out.

I would say that is likely the biggest one in Milwaukee. You've got the Pfister, which is the haunted hotel in Milwaukee. I would never stay there. I would never.

Any spooky stories, Dave, or no? No. It's all total poppycock. Do you think it's B.S. ? No, I think there's actual ghosts in the fister.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Still Standing
Are they lying? No, it's just confirmation bias. You think you're hearing stuff. I don't like it. Just be like me. Sleep in the light. You don't see ghosts. You sleep with the light on? You have to sleep with lights on. I do. I've gotten way better therapy. You don't have to. You definitely don't have to. I'm scared of the dark. And so I've been working on that for a long time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Still Standing
And I used to sleep with full lights on. And then I was gradually down to night lights. And I've not moved away from that. Can we get back to why you said you have to? You do it. I don't see any other way to possibly avoid the dangers that come with the night. What dangers? It's just darker. Well, I'm not talking about ghosts because I'm not scared of ghosts because those aren't real.

Do you have to go pee-pee yet? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, this could be our biggest moment. We have tested the theory this whole hour, whether or not Cody could empty the bladder, drink a glass of water, and how quickly he could empty and have to go again, and it's been 17 minutes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Still Standing
It's critical that you go now and do it. Look at him run. Roy, we got a chance here to prove my point that players can actually do what they have to do with someone watching very soon after blowing out their own bladder in the eighth inning of a game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Still Standing
Do you remember that player who played for the Pacers, the one who blew in the bronze here? Lance Stevenson. Lance Stevenson. Do we have a view? Reggie Miller. If you annoy, Reggie Miller bothered me on the Nick Pistons game. He's so anti-Nick. I hate the guy. I don't know him. Oh, you're talking about as a broadcaster he bothers you? Yes, as a broadcaster. Yeah, shut up, Reggie.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Still Standing
Just stop being the way you're being about this game. But in any case, so you believe in that you can annoy somebody and all of a sudden it can change the way they play or act.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Still Standing
No, no. I saw a five-minute major for interference. Right. And I saw a 2-0 loss. Right. And now a 2-0 series deficit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Still Standing
I got a different view here. Just to tell you that what you're focused on inside the clubhouse, you just want to win. It's so weak when you go into the retaliatory business because it means you've already lost. And so if I'm the Panthers and I am, and Paul Maurice, winning back-to-back Stanley Cups, way more important than getting your piece of revenge, your piece of flesh. Totally.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Still Standing
Forget about it. Totally. And by the way, they know from their run last year, play as few games as possible. Don't throw out a game. Don't say be satisfied up to nothing. You want to close them out in four games if you can. Get as much rest as you possibly can. I think the Panthers ignore it. I don't think that's what Hagel was doing because you can't get a rise out of the Panthers that way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

It is so exciting to get a player back after they use steroids because you're so excited to say to yourself, hey, are you still using? Is there a chance that you are and you're not gonna get caught again?

There is no such thing as random testing. As if they're pulling a name out of a hat. This is actually how it works with the P test in baseball. There's a guy who's waiting for you. He doesn't work for your team or the visiting team. They're waiting there after a game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Still Standing
I love where your head's at, because the question's been asked. And you get a list of the players, and then you have to pull the players, and they walk with the player to go pee-pee. There's no break at all. You don't get to go back to your locker, you don't get to do anything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Nope, no funny business at all. It is direct, lock, stock, and barrel, right to the urinal.

Listen, these are professional pissers. You can get out a few drip traps any time you need to. I want to test this theory. I'm going to go get a glass of water. I'm going to go pee, and then I'm going to come back with a glass of water. I think you could just – you're leaving me to do this. That's your plan. I'm going to go get a glass of water. There he goes.

I had diarrhea. Whatever. It's always on purpose. Hockey players, I understand why they need to do it. So we're seeing right now for the people on video on the YouTube channel, you're seeing Chris who's going to try to drink water. He's going to go pee first.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Still Standing
That's why he's walking away through that hallway.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Still Standing
It can happen quickly. I mean, we're going to keep going. The show must go on. This is the first time we've ever. Is that correct in this room? We've never had a pee, drink, pee situation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Still Standing
We need someone making sure Chris is peeing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Still Standing
Now, we don't have to be in the room because we have some HR issues. No, Ethan said it that way. We're good. We can just listen for the drip. Because it's a go problem, not a flow problem.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Still Standing
I don't pee publicly and I sit to pee because I don't want to get anything anywhere.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Yeah, yeah, as you get older. I would like to go on record while we're waiting for Chris to go pee-pee, which is going to happen. You just did your first, uh. Don't have to go yet. This has been under a minute. We're good. I'm testing it. Right now the tester is with the player. They're in the bathroom in the clubhouse. They're just talking about the game. They're hanging out.

No. What, like, what, a comeback that he was pregnant? So Lawrence Taylor, in a documentary, came clean, ironically, pun intended, that he used someone else's pee for a drug test, and the person whose pee he used had done coke. Oh, no. So he got nailed for the wrong pee use. Oh, no. Idiot. It's like, PEDs are good, but...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Still Standing
You're pregnant. So while the focus is on waiting for Chris, something happened last night. Oh, something happened, baby. A lot of stuff happened. First of all, I was not able to be with you at a Pearl Jam concert, and you were not able to do your work because you were celebrating Pearl Jam, so congrats on that.

If any skater should win it, it should be McKinnon. He's going to lead the league in points again for the second straight year. He's been the best player in the league this year. His team is going to be one of the main contenders to win the Stanley Cup, way more than Edmonton is this year. And we all know that As great as Dreisaitl is, he's not the best player on his team.

So it's like, can you be the MVP?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
Yeah, his goal-scoring numbers this year are insane.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
What a disaster. This was a huge game for the Panthers. This tied the division. This tied the Atlantic division because the Leafs won this game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
It's just stupid. Ethan? Guys, the Buffalo Sabres are really bad. And any time you lose to the Buffalo Sabres, it's really bad. But this is one of the worst ways you can lose to the Buffalo Sabres here. Tomasz Hertel has a breakaway with an empty net. Tries to dump it back to Jack Eichel for some reason. Not really sure why. Puck goes the other way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
Sabres score to tie the game with less than a minute left. We go to a shootout. No goals in overtime. Here comes Alex Tuck, I think this is. Beats him for the winner. Sabres win. They had an empty net goal to put it away. My fellow week goes to the Vegas Golden Knights.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
I think that's how the Utah Hockey Club scored their first ever goal in the preseason this year. It was a goal that was a bad pass into an empty net on a delayed penalty in the preseason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
Let me ask you, as somebody who has never played hockey before, what's the issue here? Why are these guys so resistant? Is it a tough guy thing or is it a comfort thing? This seems so obvious to me to where everything possible that would be cut resistant.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

How mad were people, though, when the Cup went in the Atlantic Ocean? Like, was Canada, was there a day of mourning in Canada when that happened?

Common theme here, defense. Well, no, I mean— What's going on recently on defense?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
They were down— Well, obviously, Kulikov, big loss. But what's going on? I can't quite— Oh! That Ekblad guy. He matters. He matters. For all those people that like to sh** on Ekblad a little bit, give him some flack for how he plays. This guy is super important. He got suspended.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
Right. That's the other thing. We don't really know how much of an impact this actually had on his play this year. He's been a great player for them for a long time. And clearly he's really important because not only do they miss him, but we saw what Seth Jones was as a number one defenseman in Chicago, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
That was the whole thing when he came here was we thought him moving down the lineup in Florida would make him a more effective player. And he's been awesome since coming over, don't get me wrong.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
Now he's had to shoulder that load as the number one defenseman, and you got a two-goal lead blown in Boston, a lackadaisical effort in Montreal, and then another two-goal lead blown in the third period against the lowly Islanders. I hate it so much, man. They're hot right now. I hate it so much. But, I mean, it was ugly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
And you see some of the things, you know, even in that Toronto game, which was a great win for them, you saw, you know, a pass go through a wide open lane that you don't usually see where, you know, the defense is usually a lot sharper than that. So I think they really miss Aaron Ekblad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
And hopefully he comes back ready to play because he's going to be coming back for Game 3, the first round of the playoffs. If they're in a 1-1 series or even, God forbid, they're down 2-0 too, Tampa, Toronto, Ottawa, that's a big hole to dig out of. And they're going to need him to come back firing right away.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
And the other guy who's out too, Chucky. Like, I think Chucky is another guy who, with the physical way that he plays in the playoffs, obviously he's coming off an injury, so it's different. But getting him some time off to kind of get right, get back to 100%. Yeah. It's going to be huge for him in the playoffs. And I think he's going to have no problem coming back firing on all cylinders.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

There's different rules.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
They're going to shelter him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
There was that Tampa game a few weeks ago. This was a sick shot. And I'm screaming out here as he's loading up here. Jones back to him. I'm screaming, shoot, shoot, shoot. And he shoots it, ping, right in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
It's too easy. Yeah, it's too easy. But he had that game a couple weeks ago against Tampa where he scored twice, two snipes right past Vasilevskyi. And it felt like since then he's been a little more aggressive. He had a game earlier this year. I think it was back in like December against the Blues where he kind of decided in overtime it was the same thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
I don't think it was a power play, but he made that sick play. He did. He drew a penalty. And then it was a four on three. And he made that sick play to draw the penalty. And then he just decided this game's over and fired it right past the keeper. Same thing here. I love when he shoots the puck, guys. I love when the captain just decides this game is over.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
And we're going to shoot the puck and it's going to go in and we're going to win this game. And the Panthers look desperate at times last night. There was some desperate that penalty kill at the end of the game was desperate penalty killing. But Columbus is desperate as well. They've scored one goal in their last four games. They're kind of fading from the playoff race a little bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
Montreal is hot. All of a sudden, the Islanders are hot. The Rangers are hanging around. So it looked they were those were two teams that really needed to win last night, especially Tampa one. Toronto won as well, so the Panthers had to keep pace with these teams. That was a massive win for the Panthers last night.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
Jägermeister, Jägerbomb.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
I just think the teams around them got...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
better and they kind of held steady and I understand not wanting to mess up the chemistry that you have on the team right now because things are rolling I mean they made Pierre-Luc Dubois into a good player and he's been rejected everywhere he's gone and all of a sudden he's been awesome for them this year I just think the teams around them got a little better they're probably going to get a pretty favorable matchup in the first round Montreal in the first round yeah
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
You know, if they get Carolina, I mean, I'm not a big believer in Carolina at all. But in New Jersey, they're not going to have Jack Hughes. So, I mean, they've got the favorable side of the bracket. But I just think this is one of those typical President's Trophy seasons where a team has an amazing regular season. They ride the coattails of this awesome chase that they've been on with Ovechkin.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
And then they just kind of fizzle out a little bit. Again, I think the teams around them just got... Got better. And they just kind of held steady. They didn't really make any improvements at the deadline.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
A quick Google will tell you Gretzky has 66 more total goals than Ovechkin. He's got 1695 and Ovechkin has 1629. So he would have to score 66 goals. Edmonton went on a lot of deep playoffs. Yeah, I was going to say they won four cups, five cups, whatever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
A guy they got to get going is is the guy I always love to talk about is Reinhardt. He's been really quiet since the Four Nations and even a little bit before that. I think the absence of Kachuk is a big reason why he's had to be more of a distributor, especially on the power play. But they really need to get him going down the stretch here. And this is going to be tight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
It's going to be tight down the stretch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
Adnan, I want to ask you right now, the Caps just became the first team to clinch a playoff spot last night. They're on 100 points. The Jets are also on 100 points. It's going to be an epic battle down the stretch to see who wins the president's trophy. But neither of these teams really did a whole lot at the deadline.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
And I know sometimes we kind of get caught up in who made the splashy acquisitions at the deadline and whatnot. Do you think they did enough? Do you think too many teams around them got so much better than that they might not be serious candidates to go deep in the playoffs anymore?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
Are they actually the best team in the West? As far as points are concerned. As far as points are concerned, but look how good Colorado looks right now. To me, they're terrifying. McKinnon, McCarr, the way Natchez has been playing since he's gone over there. They've gotten better since they traded Randon, which is an insane thing to say.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Talk Dirty To Me About John Tavares
And their lines after the trade deadline, you look at them and they're as deep as anybody in the league right now.

Adnan mentioned Connor Hellebuck earlier. This guy's pretty amazing. Win of the week from the Jets-Canucks game. Last week, we went with a goalie. We're going back to the goalie well here again. Watch this save that Connor Hellebuck makes. Comes out of his net, dives all the way back with his stick out. This guy's unbelievable. Look at how close that puck is to going in right there. Unbelievable.

Oh, is that right? It's full scope for Diddy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Again, not a competition. Allegedly quite a wide, pervy net he casted. Yeah, I don't know. I never know how to feel about the Michael Jackson stuff. Like, Michael Jackson comes on the radio. I'm like, oh, this song is amazing. Turn it up. And then it's like, I never know how to feel about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I don't know, man. That place was packed last night. I know they're doing a bunch of shows at the Arts Center there. It seems like people are into it, so I don't think I have to feel bad morally.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Which got the weekend start off on the right foot, by the way. You think I need that shit in my life to start a Friday morning of the Panthers losing? Come on. We're in a good mood today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
He was my boy last night. He was very good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I think you draw the line when they're a super shitty person, which seems to be the case with Kanye, but as opposed to even Diddy. Diddy's being accused of things, okay? You could assume it's true, whatever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Osama. But Kanye is like, there's no, they're not accusations. No, he's doing it to himself. Right, right. It's right there. Yeah, he's got a swastika medallion. He's selling swastikas. It's happening. It's right there in front of us. So I think there's a major difference there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Of course. Of course. Yeah, yeah. So it's easy to avoid the spoilers last night because it's on my mind. All right, the Panthers are playing right now. Let's not check Twitter. None of that stuff. But when I woke up this morning, the first thing I did, like I go to the bathroom, I'm doing my thing, I'm on the throne. And so I'm scrolling through my phone. Before or after coffee? No, before.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes you need the coffee to activate it. Nope. I don't know what you got going on, but that's not the way I do it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Just making sure. I can't stop listening to that when it comes on. That is Brian Adams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Yeah! Welcome! Dan Levitard Show of Friday morning, the 21st of March. Good to have you aboard. I'm Jonathan Zaslow, alongside is my pal Mike Ryan. Hello, how are you this morning?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I was there for that. That was a big one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
It was like a midnight swap. That was more than 30 years ago. That was a big one. That was a huge one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
was Channel 6, and TVJ was Channel 4.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
So I'm scrolling the phone like, oh, wait, hold on. I don't want to have the Panther game swallowed for me. So then I put the phone away and I'm like, let's put the Panther game on. So I had the Panther game on when I'm getting ready in the bathroom this morning to come in and look all pretty for all you guys. And yeah, I finished the game like... Right before I got here this morning.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Well, yeah, they got outbid, which is crazy because some being... I think some being... Well, no, they're saying that they chose like, hey, this is too much money. We're not interested.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
That's what's really wild. So the way that I understand... Okay, so this is confusing though, right? For people who we want to watch sports, all right? ABC is Monday Night Football and NBA on ESPN on ABC. You know, there's stuff that we want to watch. And so... Over the Air, it's going to be on the auxiliary channel, 7.2. That's right. When you're watching Over the Air.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
That's exactly what it's like.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
That's exactly what it's like. But here's the thing. I don't know about you guys. I don't watch Over the Air. I have streaming. And so I'm confused as to how I'm going to get ABC on my streaming subscription.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
So are they just going to come up with their, they're going to produce their own local show?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Whammy had the Heat road games. Because back then, home games and road games were different channels for our local teams. And ESPN's Mark Jones was the sideline reporter for the Heat on Whammy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Yeah, they probably wish this happened a year ago.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
No, I didn't fast forward through anything, any of the games. So the whole game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Get some good spin. Let's hear it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Yeah, I watched 60 minutes of nothing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Yo, just tell me how I can watch my shows.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I feel like if you're not in the industry, you're just like, what are you guys talking about?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
But it was a great game. It was. It was as good a 0-0 game could be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
If somebody wants to talk over there, you look at this face. You put me on WPLG. That's bad news for all your networks. Look at that punim. It's a beautiful punim.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
It was a very easy, let's take away that goal. That's cheating. Against the rule. No, it's pretty obvious.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I mean, heck, last night, the penalty at the end of regulation was just the fourth penalty called all game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Great 5-on-5 team. I can't help but remember last year in the Stanley Cup Finals when you would have the matching minors and you would have the 4-on-4. What a disaster! It was like we were on the penalty kill. It was a disaster against that Edmonton team every time that you had to go four on four. But, yes, normally even strength is a positive for this team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
So my morning, my weekend got started off on the right note. I don't need to start the weekend with a Panther loss. I'd have been in a terrible mood this morning, and I want to be in a great mood for you guys. So I'm ready to go. I'm firing all cylinders here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I haven't done that in years. Been a little while.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
It's going to be tough on tomorrow, too. Tomorrow, you've got Washington Capitals. Ovechkin now seven away from the record. I don't like that he's going to get that record, but it is what it is. It's futile for me to root against it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
He's not Gretzky, but he's a good player.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
No, they needed those points last night because you've got Washington tomorrow and it's, what are we talking, it's a 2-3 road trip so far.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Yeah, no, they're even. I mean, they're tied with Toronto.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Percolating. What is the secret sauce? White guys. Yeah, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Well, first of all, it takes me forever to get here. So, like, I'm able to accomplish a lot in the morning. I got to get up early. I don't normally get up early, okay? I'm on my own schedule. And I got up early today and yesterday, of course. I'm glad to be back here with you today. Glad to have you back. And, yeah, so I was out last night. I was with my wife.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
He had 20 goal scores so far this year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I don't know. Guys, some of this stuff is random with the goal scoring. It's not like the NBA where if you're in the prime of your career, you're going to have these numbers every single year no matter what. It's a little bit like baseball. There's some randomness. You could be in your prime and you didn't hit for average the way you did the previous year. It's like that in hockey, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
You don't get as many chances. But I text you the day after the Marchand trade. I was like, hey, Marchand, crazy, right? And Mike texts me back. I hope he's a healthy scratch every game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Wow. And look, I've never hated a player, a hockey player, more. Then I hated, I guess, Brad Marchand. Never, never hated a player more. So it's really difficult to digest that they just traded for this guy. And my whole my whole deal was I need to hear him say he wants to win a Stanley Cup with the Florida Panthers. I needed to hear him say that. And he essentially did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
He did on the Monday of the press conference. And then on Tuesday, he's out there skating with Sam Bennett. And Sam Bennett posts the picture with the two of them and says, just a couple of scumbags.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
And it's like, okay, well, if the guys... See, here's the thing where I say to you, if the guys in the dressing room are okay with the guy that they used to hate, don't I kind of have to be okay with the guy? And the difference is with hockey, you know, in football, when the Dolphins play the Jets... The Dolphin players don't hate the Jet players. The Jets players don't hate the Dolphin.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Sometimes you got to do date night, all right? You got to take the women out. You got to let them know that you still care about them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
The fans hate. But the players don't hate. The difference in hockey is they do hate the guys in the other dressing room. I mean, Ryan Lomberg will play for the Calgary Flames now. They were playing the Tampa Bay Lightning earlier this season. He says, I hate these effing guys. You don't even play for the Panthers anymore. These guys actually hate the other guys in the dressing room.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
And so if they're okay with it... I kind of have to be okay with it then.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
That's right. Right next to Vitale and Billis.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
I'm actually not cool with Jamal Mashburn. I'm not taking cues from Mashburn of what he likes and doesn't like. I'm not even comfortable with him sitting first row at the Heat games. Would I have been okay with Alan Houston on the team? Yeah, I mean, I would have had to have been. What, am I going to root against him? It's not like he's a bad person off the court.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Well, we went to a show, all right? So I had control over that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Well, obviously, I mean, I told you a million times. I mean, I've never disliked a Miami Heat. It's very rare that I dislike a player who's on my team. I'll find a way to root for them. And I actively disliked Kyle Lowry his entire time here. It just shows you how terrible Terry Rozier has been, the fact that I'll sit here and tell you that was a terrible trade.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
But it also tells you how badly the organization wanted Lowry out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
that they were willing to trade him for rogier in a first round pick i i hated kyle lowry so there there isn't anyone in the heat's history they've had storied rivals people forget how intense that pistons rivalry was oh yeah i hated that team oh yeah like if paul pierce came to town and wore a heat jersey that's what i i think that was the comparison i made with brad marshall where it had been like if the heat trade for paul pierce and i don't want that i you think i want to move that piece of shit like i i don't i don't want him on my team i will not root for him
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Well, either you're good at it or you're not. And I would tell you if you're good at it, you don't need to brag.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Yeah, good for you for not backing down, man. Was I here on a day that Paul Pierce was going to be? Oh, I think David Sampson was grilling me about, why would I not want to do a show with Paul Pierce? Why would I?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Well, and he pulled that dirty move on P.J. Brown. I mean, he absolutely tried to undercut him. He tried to hurt him. I would tell that to his face if he was right here in this room. You tried to hurt P.J. Brown.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
And certainly Larry Johnson. Don't like Larry Johnson. I'll never like Larry Johnson. He was purposely trying to elbow Zoe in the face while he was wearing a face guard. He had a broken orbital.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Yeah, there may have been something going on personally with the two of them when they were in Charlotte together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
Well, Mackenzie Wieger definitely knows what he did. He definitely knows what he did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Right Time To Die
So I had some time this morning, which was great because I never miss a Florida Panther game. Never, ever, ever. I record every game. And last night. You got TiVo, Sil? You have DVRs? Remember how long we called it TiVo? TiVo was the name to record something on television.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
But you're a top one percenter, Greg. You are essentially the Connor McDavid of local columnists. You can actually say these things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
He did. I've seen that on the lower third already.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
He was right. You're literally trying to put a billboard saying that, though. You guys are changing Greg's argument. You are trying to do that. You are saying he is right. That's because that dubbing word is his mouth.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Yeah, Canada typically handles it that way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Did you watch Vancouver after they lost to the Bruins?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
He can't handle his liquor. It's way worse just audio because you can really fixate on the slur.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
We waited 30 years to say we are made it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
He was growing a playoff beard? Really?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
I'm wearing the same exact clothes I wore to the game. I was at the arena until 3, had a spicy McChicken, set the alarm for 90 minutes from that moment, and went to bed in this, and got out of the bed, and... Went on the train. I'm sweating my ass off.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
And there's so much nuance in the game that is just like you pick up – if you're around the game for 10 years, you pick up something new every day and tactics change. But think about this show. We have a larger ensemble, but we've talked over each other plenty. McDonough and Ferraro aren't in the same booth.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Ferraro is on the ice. Yeah, it's great. And it's them too. They don't have nonverbal communication. They have to have that chemistry down.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
He had to be the outlet. That's our Philly special. You knew that once they went to the boards with 12 seconds left, that was it. They were Stanley Cup champions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

That's a really unfortunate take by you guys.

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.

Roy, can you describe what you're seeing right now? Was the cup indeed submerged for a brief moment in time?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
He's getting us good stuff. That was an exclusive, dude. No, no, no, no, no. Stick around. We need you there. Crazy shit like that's going to be happening all day. Yep.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
You're doing great, man. No one else is doing this stuff.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Bask in the glow. We are Hockey Town, USA. Roy was on the scene. He got to the elbow room in seven minutes, and he caught video of the cup. How did he get there so fast? Of the cup submerged. That is exclusive video of the Dan Levitard show. That is great stuff, by the way. More than six people, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

We got video here of Kachuck and Bennett just pouring beer on this guy. A wise man once said, we are made it. Just drenching this guy.

Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
We were under a lot of pressure. I think we were all a little anxious. We were all super emotional. One day you will see that I was trying to do the exact opposite in terms of fomenting what you feared. One day you will see that I was trying to stop all of it from happening.

I'm not here to argue against the topic, but I would say, like, if you look at the entire playoffs, the award is given to the most outstanding player. Like, literally no one did more for their team in pursuit of that cup. That's what they voted on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
They didn't win the Cup, but the voters just said he did everything humanly possible to win that Cup.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

They voted that nobody did more to help their team win a Cup.

Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
I think we're all clear on what Greg was saying. It's just after that playoff performance on the heels of the greatest season in NHL history, arguably, my opinion of Connor McDavid has not diminished.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Greg has actually been pretty consistent about this and hasn't deviated from it. So I get his point. And the way that we cover sports in this country is, yeah, Greg gets to be right tonight. I will say, though, in all of this, you mentioned Kevin Durant, who many people blamed Russell Westbrook early on in his career for his failings.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
If Conor McDavid is not in this series, all the hype gets attributed to Leon Dreisaitl. Everyone calls Leon Dreisaitl the best player in this series. You'd have the talking head say, is Leon Dreisaitl the best player in hockey? He did not show up this series. He is worthy of criticism.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Well, what's he got to do with the next 10-some-odd years of his career?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Ovechkin played in the same conference as the greatest player of his generation, Sidney Crosby. Ovechkin, great player, may catch up to Gretzky's record. He only had the one crack at it. He won it, but he only had the one chance. You can't take these things for granted.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
It really was the blueprint really all year long, starting in training camp, where I've heard the stories that Paul Maurice drilled them so hard that in training camp to make sure that they are the best condition team. I mean, like Herb Brooks, Team USA style. The worst, hardest training camp that a lot of these players have ever been through.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
And it was to get to that moment where, yeah, they've been a great third period team all year long. And going into the game last night, I was just envisioning, all right, can we, because of the way the last three games have gone, can I be within a goal going into the third? Just... I don't have to be ahead. I didn't expect to be ahead. You would have taken that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
I was hoping we'd be tied going into the third. But I would have taken, can we be within a goal in the third period? And we will outlast them. And then we went to third and we're ahead of goal. And it's like, oh my God, can we just play them even for the final 20 minutes? And by the way, those 20 minutes, it was the slowest 20 minutes of my life. It was the most anxiety I've ever had.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
I mean, I'm on the verge of a panic attack. every time the Oilers had full control of the puck in the zone, which was seemingly all 20 minutes of the third period. And then McDonough's right. And when he pointed it out, it was perfect because right when he says it, that the Oilers are out of gas, you look at them, they're barely moving. And by the way, McDavid was on the ice, it seemed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
I think statistically he was on the ice for 10 of the 20 minutes in the third period, which is crazy. He was always on the ice, and they couldn't move anymore at the end of the game. And guess what? The Panthers, they were fresh, and they were fine at the end of the game. It was so beautiful. It was the blueprint.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
Well, it started, though, with the anthem. That was when you noticed, right? The anthem was so loud. Singing the Canadian hands like, whoa, there's a lot of them there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
Yeah, but I think we were inspired by how loud they were. When do we ever, in any of these buildings, not just here, when does the American national anthem ever get sung by the crowd?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
Bad face by the Canadian fan. I mean, keep it tuned. Come on. Alanis did a bad job. We're going to be honest. Legends did a bad job last night.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
You could tell. There's an intelligence level. Aren't you Canadian? I have dual citizenship. I was born here. Just like Alanis. Yeah, just like Alanis.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
Can I ask you something? Speaking of the national anthem and everything that took place before the game, how did we feel when it was announced? that Roberto Luongo is banging the drum.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
He should have been the guy.

He hit you with the LFG, like in the crowd. Crazy energy. See, I was worried that they were going to make it Luongo, and they did. And I was worried because he lost a game seven in goal for Vancouver. But then I realized, Dan, the theme of the team this postseason has been redemption. And you know what? Redemption includes that for Luongo as well, to redeem himself from game seven in 2011.

Randy, I'm so happy for you, man. Obviously, I worked next year for a couple years on that Panther radio broadcast. I know how much it means to you. I know how hard you work and just how much you love this franchise. So congratulations. I'm so happy for you, Randy. What were the closing seconds? like for you?

I mean, you thought about it, what it could possibly feel like as the clock's running out and you have a lead in game seven. What did those few seconds when they're pinning the puck on the board feel like for you?

Randy, did you get any time after the game with Coach Paul Maurice? I mean, it was such a difficult transition for Panther fans last year when he was hired. I was so angry with him last year, and now I love him so much.

I can't get past, you know... For the first three years of his time here, we hated Sergei Bobrovsky. Hated him. Worst contract in the entire National Hockey League. And now, he's the greatest free agent signing in the history of the

And the postseason before it, he was splitting time with Spencer Knight. That's crazy. Is he still a Panther?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
Yes, he was on the ice. He was the one that handed the cup to Paul Maurice. He rang the bell. That was a good job out of Spencer Knight, giving the cup to Maurice. That was a good job out of him.

Clutch move. Forsling lost the stick. Stenland said, here, take mine.

That's what I said last night. I had my father up. We had three generations of Zaslow men watching the game. I brought out the big guns. I brought my father into the Zaslow Mansion serious room. It's a very exclusive group. But we needed three generations to carry us through to game seven. So I brought my father in.

And when Stenland's out there without the stick, like he's a hockey fan, but he doesn't know all the nuances. He doesn't have a stick. What's he going to do? He's going to block the puck with his face if he has it. So he's going to do whatever it takes.

Three generations of Zaslow men. Four of us total, three generations, were in the Zaslow mansion family room, which, of course, everybody knows when the game starts, that becomes the serious room.

The cup is at the elbow room. The cup is at the elbow room. Kachuk said last night on the ice, when Matthew and Brady were being interviewed by the NHL network crew, he said, I heard tomorrow it's elbow room.
