The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Don't Look Now (feat. O'Shea Jackson Jr.)
Fri, 14 Feb 2025
Jessica and Jeremy are fired up to show Dan a video of Rob Ryan's latest ramblings at a press conference as the USC Linebackers coach. Does even Rob Ryan consider himself the best Ryan? Well, Jess sure does. Then, Taylor put together an edit of the best takes from our Boost Mobile take line, and it made Billy chuckle. Plus, George Lopez dances on the Jennifer Hudson Show, Bill Belichick's girlfriend turns out to also be his agent, and Billy dismisses space science. Also, O'Shea Jackson Jr. is here to discuss his new movie "Den of Thieves 2: Pantera," explain where he and his dad differ as actors, name his Top 3 Action Movie Franchises ever, and share his thoughts on his Lakers trading for Luka Doncic.

Chapter 1: What is the Rob Ryan press conference about?
Chapter 2: How does the show handle sponsorships and fines?
The fact that we do not yet have an oatmeal sponsor for the way that Jessica shovels into her face her breakfast oatmeal during work in a way that's a bit self-conscious, but not really, because I saw her watching the cameras. I think we should have oatmeal cameras trained on Jessica to catch her in the act of Pelican eating all of the oatmeal.
It's Valentine's Day for me and my oatmeal as well, Dan. We're having a very nice time together this morning.
I think we should be sponsoring it. I think we should be profiting off it. I think you personally should be profiting off of how much you love that oatmeal. I want to ask the audience for some help with something. Put the hashtag Venmo on it because I am a bit tired of how it is that the loose ship around here results in.
Not even Venmo, a trusted sponsor, having the people around here respect the fine bucket. So, hashtag Venmo. Please, audience, tell me what I need to start doing as punishment to people who do not pay their fines. Because that fine, the weird part about those fines is... I'm the only one paying them for four years, and I never get that money.
That money is in the fine bucket, but the people getting it are employees, and the amount of money should be ten times what it is because Stugatz and Cody and because everyone else is paying their Venmo fines.
Are we talking about the Venmo bucket, which is presented by Venmo? That very bucket. It was a busy week for the Venmo bucket. By our records, we had one fine. $20 to David Sampson for coughing. No, your records are wrong. Let the records show.
More like 50?
Greg Cody had an assortment of fines. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, there was a situation where you took his phone and you guessed his password.
So, Billy, the person who's not going to be in charge of it is you. Oh, no, I'm not in charge of it. And furthermore, I don't want a syllable of your opinions on it. On the Venmo bucket? Yeah. Presented by Venmo? Yeah, no. You can say that and nothing else about that.

Chapter 3: What are the best hot takes from the Boost Mobile line?
But are you notarizing this? Are you endorsing this? You're playing something that I have heard. No, I will. Jeremy's boldly, you're playing something I have not heard. And lately, I don't trust the judgment of our crew to play things that are well for the sponsors because you guys aren't respecting the sponsors.
The sponsor, as you mentioned, is Boost Mobile, 305-486-GODS if you want to do this. Boldest take from the weekend. And we can, you know... We usually air them earlier in the week, but this week we had this compilation. I'm going to be honest. I chuckled.
All right. Well, that is the highest compliment. I thought that the highest compliment on this show was the Hakeem Nicks laugh, but you saying you chuckled. Slightly. Not full out laugh. No, a slight chuckle. I think a slight chuckle is redundant. I think a chuckle is slight.
It wasn't a coy chuckle, though. It was like I was on the couch. I was like, ha!
All right, let's see what we have here. But I don't trust your judgment here because you like when things are bad.
Well, well. That's the thing. Yeah, you like when things are terrible.
Hey, this is Evan from Houston. Just to set the visual, I'm like a 5'8", Dwayne Wade, but with the hairline of Thibodeau.
My hot take of the week is that you people that back into parking spaces... You're screwing it up for the rest of us.
Avocados are overrated. Terry Rozier for Caitlin Clark. She gives us more spacing, opens up the lanes, and we shed some salary cap. We'd love to hear your thoughts.

Chapter 4: What is the 'Don't Look Now' segment?
Chapter 5: What food recommendations does Mike Ryan have?
Chapter 6: What are Dan's thoughts on the Ryan brothers?
Here's one of the funny things about all of this, because you can make the argument That Rex Ryan had the most successful run in Jets history as a coach. It wouldn't be a great argument, but he'd be toward the top of the list of whatever success resembles for the New York Jets. And because of that, and this is funny what I'm going to tell you, what my analysis is of all of this.
I will laugh at Rob Ryan, that video, and all the ones that came before it as the lesser of the two Ryan brothers who speak all the time as if you can hear that they are licking their teeth. I will laugh at the Ryans as both being some people who you can imagine with pizza boxes in their car. But because USC has hired Rob Ryan as defensive coordinator, I know nothing else except...
they'll probably be better at defense. And it's only because they can't be much worse. It's not even about Rob Ryan. But even with that press conference, I'm like, I don't need to know anything else. I believe that Lincoln Riley is going to have a better defense next year because Rob Ryan is around it and his pizza boxes are around it.
And I don't think that's a very smart thing for me to be doing.
No, I mean, he's the linebacker's coach. Even better. And he has great hair. And their defense was already a lot better last year when they brought in Danton Lynn. And now they have a Ryan. And not only a Ryan, the best Ryan. Better than Buddy. Wow.
Better than Rex.
The best Ryan. Whoa. No one has that opinion. Not even Rob. I know. I mean, it's sacrilegious. I'm from Chicago.
My favorite part of that video is it's about 2 minutes and 15 seconds long. You get about 55 seconds into it. Yeah. And he goes, anyway, and then goes on for another minute and 15 seconds where he's talking about some juco kid that he wants to go. It is incredible. The little runt.
That's quality right there. Billy, do me a favor, please. I have. I've been told by Taylor, and I've been told by people around Taylor who wish for less Taylor. I've been told by Taylor that he thinks, I put him in charge of gas bag of the week, and we've seen how that's gone. We did it three times and then didn't do it again.
