The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Mark Zuckerberg's New Look (feat. Pablo Torre)
Thu, 09 Jan 2025
Mike is infatuated with Pat Burrell to start the hour and makes the argument that he had the greatest individual season in the history of the University of Miami athletic program. Then, Pablo Torre joins the show to discuss Mark Zuckerberg's new look and how a small group of wealthy right wingers that control the content we digest are getting unprecedented access to President Trump. Also, Greg Cote does not understand how our new Venmo Fine Bucket works after taking a fine for his phone going off and tries to get out of it once again. Does he have a Back In My Day today? Plus, Pablo is going to be featured on this week's Oral History, the worst bad beat in prop betting history, Nick Wright is a bad guy and Leonard Hamilton and Mark Jones are shockingly old.

What makes Pat Burrell the greatest athlete at the University of Miami?
So, like, look, this is going to be me talking for a while, guys. You want to make fun of me now? Should I wait? Should I just keep going?
Well, thank you. I'm glad that you actually stopped yourself here because Mike had stopped listening.
I'm actually going down there to talk about the IMG Academy head coaching hire that Bill Belichick just made.
Okay. Yeah. All right. Yeah. He's not interested in what it is that you're talking about as it relates to Dana White and collapsing systems of all kinds. But you want to continue?
Yeah, like the whole idea of free speech, right? That's the whole platform. And so content moderation, when it was not Donald Trump as the president, when the culture was in the other part of the pendulum swing, content moderation, I used to say this was the reason why all of these tech CEOs, the richest people in the world, were stressed out about their jobs.
Because they had to do the hard act of basically being a Supreme Court justice and trying to figure out what speech is allowed, what is dangerous, what is free, what's okay, what's not, what's harassment, what's abuse. It's an impossible question that literally the Supreme Court has really hard, yeah, really hard times trying to solve. All right. What? What?
No, I want to stop you for just a second, just one second, okay? I know there are a lot of global things to be worried about, and one of them, I don't know whether it goes in your top ten or not, is the fact that the richest people in the world are getting even richer as we create more desperation between the haves and the have-nots.
And I read the other day that Jeff Bezos had a $600 million wedding in Aspen, and I was wondering if any—
He came out and really, in a way that he hasn't publicly- It was fake? Slammed the hell out of that story.
