Overview

This episode of the Local Hour features the Dan Le Batard Show crew—Dan, Stugotz, Greg Cote, Mike Ryan, Chris Cote, Zach Harper, Tony, and Jeremy—tackling a whirlwind of topics. They discuss Florida sports headlines, the drama and spectacle of sports lotteries, a wild story about souvenir "mystery boxes" at Marlins games, the ongoing search for a University of Miami athletic director, and, most notably, a jaw-dropping on-air confession from Chris Cote about his marriage. The conversation is delivered in the show’s usual irreverent, rapid-fire style, loaded with jokes, personal admissions, honest reflections, and lots of ribbing.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. NHL Draft Lottery: Transparency & Conspiracy Theories

• The crew opens with reactions to last night’s NHL draft lottery, reflecting on the process, its newfound transparency, and how, despite that, immediate fan conspiracies still emerged about it being "rigged" for the Toronto Maple Leafs
  • [02:21, Mike Ryan]: “It was so cool though, because I've never seen this before… Every ball that comes up, the odds either go up or down… It was a great viewing experience, you know, except for the part that Toronto won the number one pick.”
  • Discussion of perennial suspicions fans have, no matter the sport or process, whenever big-market teams win.

2. Twins in Sports and in Life – Personal Tangents

• The conversation takes a quirky turn to the phenomenon of twins in sports and life, highlighting the Sedin twins’ hockey careers, amusing anecdotes about confusion, and Chris Cote’s surprising admission:
  • [07:41, Chris Cote]: “I'm married to identical twins. They talk on the phone on the way to work every morning.”
  • [07:52, Chris Cote, jokingly]: “It almost happened. I had to choose.”

3. Chris Cote’s Shocking On-Air Confession

(Main Show Revelation)

• At [12:30], Chris Cote admits:
  • “There are times… you just imagine it's the other [identical twin]."
• Immediate reactions range from laughter, shock, to horror:
  • [12:43, Mike Ryan]: “Oh, no, no, no.”
  • [12:47, Greg Cote]: "What's the matter with you, man?"
  • Mike and Greg also respond with concern for the fallout and Chris’s marital wellbeing.
  • They joke about never clipping that section for social media, then realize some things ‘break through’ even if you assume your spouse isn’t listening.
• Notable Quote: [13:44, Mike Ryan]: “That was an incredible omission.”
• The drama continues later when Chris receives a call (presumably from his wife) mid-episode informing him she found out about the admission—“I don’t know who told her. She’s definitely not watching live. Somebody told her.” ([24:07])
• The crew speculates about leaks, the nature of oversharing in public, and the difference between “a bit” and personal honesty on air.

4. Marlins Mystery Box Grift

• At [17:00], the crew roasts the Miami Marlins for selling $300 "mystery boxes" at games
  • Influencers opening the boxes find underwhelming contents: unautographed hats, a baseball still “under review,” and a jersey of an ex-player who badmouthed fans.
  • [19:12, Mike Ryan]: “Worst use of 300 bucks you could possibly have is this box.”
  • [21:03, Greg Cote]: “Dear influencer who just got ripped off, it’s the Marlins... What do you expect? Generosity from a team that is penurious and plays budget ball?”
• The bit showcases both the crew’s comedic chops and Miami sports frustration.

5. Miami Hurricanes AD Search: The Case Against Michael Yormark

• Following the lighter segment, the team gets serious, discussing why former Florida Panthers CEO Michael Yormark shouldn’t become University of Miami AD.
  • [31:46, Dan LeBatard]: “That is a success for those who care about the University of Miami.”
  • [32:46, Mike Ryan]: “He was the CEO of the Florida Panthers for about a dozen years… you could easily make the case [they] were the most embarrassing franchise in all of professional sports. Just completely incompetent.”
  • Dan and Mike detail Yormark’s toxic reputation, alleged self-dealing, and why fit with Miami is a disaster waiting to happen.
  • “People often confuse assholes with alphas, and I think that’s kind of what’s happened with Michael Yormark…” ([40:45, Dan LeBatard])

6. Love Doctor Segment Tease

• Greg Cote prepares for another run as "The Love Doctor" in honor of the upcoming Mother’s Day.
  • Setting up the later segment (not included in full within the provided content), they tease listener love advice Q&As, with the usual tongue-in-cheek banter about whether Greg is truly qualified.

Throughout the episode, the tone is fast, funny, sometimes biting and self-deprecating, often teetering between chaos and camaraderie. The crew tackles sports scandals and personal confessions with irreverence, honesty, and frequent side-roads into both parody and surprisingly candid territory.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, we had such an opportunity last night. Huge opportunity last night for your Florida Panthers, but they fell short. They did not grab the number one overall pick in the NHL draft card.

[Greg Cote]

Oh, I thought you were talking about the playoffs.

[Stugotz]

I had bad news for you on that front.

[Mike Ryan]

Nope. Last night, the NHL draft lottery took place.

[Dan LeBatard]

Big Dave with his six more games under his belt for the Pittsburgh Penguins, talking that shit. Congratulations.

[Stugotz]

Six more games, five more cups. What are we talking about?

[Mike Ryan]

If I would have asked, I should have posed this question before yesterday. But like, if you could.

[Dan LeBatard]

If you could choose three more cups. Do math.

[Mike Ryan]

Which team? The Panthers or the Heat, Would you prefer getting the number one, like winning their draft lottery this year, who would you have chosen?

[Greg Cote]

Not even close. The Heat. Yeah, the Heat, Absolutely. They. They need a Wemby to fall out of the sky. They need a Wemby or some. Or. Or a flag. They need something to fall out of the sky. And nobody outside of sunrise feels bad for the two time champion Panthers dipping to number nine. You know, they. They can't. How much luck do they need? You know, how greedy are they going to get?

[Dan LeBatard]

They can't really dip. I think the main takeaway was. That was a hell of a television program.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, so good.

[Dan LeBatard]

I felt like I actually had a chance at one of these lotteries because it was so transparent. I didn't know it was quite like that because, Dave, as long as I've been paying attention to hockey, which hasn't been very long, because I'm from a swamp that, you know, hockey didn't exist before.

[Mike Ryan]

And you may have heard Dan say, I don't even watch, you know, but I'm trying it this year.

[Dan LeBatard]

So this was my first time in the draft lottery. What a program.

[Mike Ryan]

So good. It was completely transparent.

[Stugotz]

I know. And yet the hockey world immediately declared it's rigged. Everybody wanted the Toronto Maple Leafs because like we covered yesterday and what is true and has been true in perpetuity, the Toronto Maple Leafs represent sort of the headquarters of the NHL. So it kind of suggests in the same way that David Stern was accused of rigging the 85 draft. So Patrick Ewing landed in Manhattan. People are now saying the same thing about the NHL.

[Dan LeBatard]

I told you this was going to happen yesterday. Roy called it weeks ago. Actually, Roy, I was looking at that entire board and I don't think there's a single GD team that the Internet wouldn't have accused of the NHL rigging it for them. Outside, maybe the Seattle Kraken.

[Greg Cote]

Really?

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah. You could make an argument like there was. There was even flames. I mean, I mean there wasn't.

[Mike Ryan]

Winnipeg would have been pretty non controversial.

[Dan LeBatard]

There were very few in which, oh, they get Bedard and McKenna. The Rangers, of course, Vancouver, certainly they're rigging it for them. The Panthers. If the Panthers won this thing, it would have been even worse than the Maple Leafs react.

[Mike Ryan]

It was so cool though, because I've never seen this before. Certainly with the NBA, which we always watch every year, it happens behind closed. Ernst and Young. They're above board. They would never cheat. It's behind the scenes. And I mean, it's behind the scenes,

[Zach Harper]

but there are people in the room.

[Mike Ryan]

Right, right, right. But, but, but the, the viewer doesn't get to see anything. We just have to trust that everybody behind the scenes that it all happened on the up and up. Maybe they were all paid off. Everybody in that room.

[Zach Harper]

I don't know.

[Mike Ryan]

I wasn't there.

[Zach Harper]

My favorite part about the conspiracy about like, hey, they gave it to someone over someone else is the idea that all the other franchises, like, you're right, Toronto does need this more than us.

[Dan LeBatard]

Spurs really need Wemby.

[Mike Ryan]

So this. They actually drew the combinations in front of everybody. And it was so viewer friendly. Like I've. There have been years where the NBA does it and I don't know when they open up the cards like, all right, was that team supposed to be there? And you don't know. They don't make it viewer friendly here. You got the odds on the side of the screen. Every ball that comes up, the odds either go up or down. And then the Panthers name gets taken off. I'm like, oh, motherfucker. It was like. It was, it was a great viewing experience, you know, except for the part that Toronto won the number one pick.

[Stugotz]

It is, by the way, it is one of my favorite annual sporting events that doesn't involve any actual sporting is the lottery process. Who would the Le Batard universe send? Mike Ryan. You know how you dispatch your GM or a high profile star from the franchise. Who does LeBatard send as the rep for the big drawing of all podcast draft picks?

[Dan LeBatard]

Probably George Clooney, the mascot for the Cyclones, who are once again going for another Battle Court championship this Friday. Trying to make Battle Court history as the first team ever to go back to back Jack. And I've been giving that some thought, Greg, and with your permission, you know how Pat Riley trademark three peat. Yeah, I think we should be able to trademark back to back Jack.

[Greg Cote]

I like it. I'm on board. I'm a Clones fan, you know that. I'll be there Friday night.

[Dan LeBatard]

Love you for it.

[Mike Ryan]

Yo, how creepy was it when they showed the Sadeen twins representing Vancouver? That was creepy as hell. Last, like they're old now and they're looking weird and I mean identical twins, you know, weird. Anyway, you would think.

[Stugotz]

I bet you that you just said the Sadine twins and roughly half the audience, if I'm not even exaggerating that much, knows what you're talking about.

[Mike Ryan]

No, you're right.

[Stugotz]

I think it's a wild chapter in our lives of sports fandom that twins played hall of fame careers on the same team.

[Mike Ryan]

Identical the whole time.

[Chris Cote]

The whole time.

[Stugotz]

High end players, they came and went. Nobody even knows who they are.

[Mike Ryan]

So they've literally like they've never been apart. Like I remember. And this is the deal with twins, right? Because I remember when the Heat, when they signed Caleb Martin and and of course his brother Cody Martin at the time was playing for Charlotte and I asked the question and he confirmed it. That was the first time in their lives they weren't together. They've always been together.

[Greg Cote]

Yeah, weird.

[Zach Harper]

I have twins. So yes, all of this completely tracks. If you think about most human beings, the person that you've exchanged the most communication with up until a certain point in your life is your mother. And then at some point you find your spouse, you get married and then that person becomes the person that you've exchanged the most amount of words with in your entire life. With twins, it's each other. And that continues even after they get grow up and get married and everything.

[Chris Cote]

I'm married to identical twins. They talk on the phone on the way to work every morning.

[Tony]

He's married to one of the twins, not both of them.

[Greg Cote]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Because the way you said it, you're married to identical twins.

[Tony]

Both of them.

[Chris Cote]

It almost happened. I had to choose.

[Stugotz]

My favorite twins are the Siamese twins of.

[Zach Harper]

I don't think you're supposed to say that one anymore. I think it's conjoined now.

[Stugotz]

Conjoined twins.

[Dan LeBatard]

We voted to say that.

[Stugotz]

Is it politically incorrect and why? I just would like to know the reason why. I'm happy to move on from it. It's sort of like we've discussed a few months ago. Is it now in our lifetime, in fact, in the last couple of years, is it so taboo to say the name of Washington's pro football team that in real time, like, it just became like, okay, it's vaguely inappropriate to say to now. Like, you shouldn't say it.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Shared spaces, right?

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

You're not allowed to say the name of the Washington pro football team or otherwise be taken to task for.

[Greg Cote]

Right.

[Zach Harper]

You'll love this. When I was doing radio on Mad Dog years ago, right around the time of the name change, we were, me and Zach Harper, we opened the phone lines. If you've got a good explanation why we should continue using this racist name, then we'll hear it. Like, we'll open it up. Whoever wants to call. And all these people are angry about the name change. Tell me why. And the first guy that called and says, I propose that the Washington team not change its nickname, but change its mascot from whatever it is to a potato. So now they're the Washington Redskins. Potatoes.

[Stugotz]

Yep.

[Zach Harper]

And me and Zach will be all full of pits and vinegar. We're like, he's got a point, man. That's a great idea. They should have just been the red skinned potatoes.

[Stugotz]

And then.

[Mike Ryan]

I like that idea.

[Stugotz]

It is trolling. Of course. You're trolling people who are well intentioned to say, like, for. And you're really wearing that for the rest of time. Like, yeah, just to stick it to people to be trolls. Our mascot is a potato.

[Dan LeBatard]

Syracuse basically did this.

[Zach Harper]

Yeah. They were like, it's orange. Yeah, we like oranges.

[Dan LeBatard]

It's now a food.

[Zach Harper]

Our mascot is like a big mare McCheese, only as an orange.

[Stugotz]

But the conjoined twins of like the late 19th century, early 20th century, they had. I forget their names, but they lived in houses side by side. They were in the Guinness book of world Records and all that. You know I'm talking about, right?

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah. Weren't they connected by the head?

[Stugotz]

No, they were connected by a flap of skin around their appendix area.

[Dan LeBatard]

It seems easy to.

[Stugotz]

Well, apparently. Well, I don't know how. It must have been pretty easy because one of them, they lived in houses next door to each other. They were both married. One of them had, I believe, 11 children. The other one had 10 children. And they would stay week to week in in the other house. So it'd be like, well, now it's time to go and stay with my lady. And of course, clearly, based on the results, there's a lot of lovemaking going.

[Zach Harper]

What's. What's that process like, reading the paper

[Dan LeBatard]

says, that's the question.

[Stugotz]

What is that? Likes ass.

[Mike Ryan]

I have to go back to Chris Cody here because I'm not sure that I knew this. I have to go back this. So you're married to an identical twin.

[Chris Cote]

That's right.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, I have questions. Go on first. Not too many questions when you want your father sitting right next to me is a little weird. Okay, so first question.

[Stugotz]

Wonder they're in the swinging at that house.

[Mike Ryan]

Were you always able to tell them apart?

[Chris Cote]

Not the beginning when we were just dating. Her sister has like a beauty mark on her face. So I was like, mine's the one without that.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, my next question is, a lot of times, you know, your wife or your girlfriend will be like, you think my sister is attractive, don't you? You clearly think her sister's attractive, right?

[Stugotz]

Undeniable.

[Mike Ryan]

If you think your wife's hot, you think her sister is hot.

[Chris Cote]

My sister in law's hot.

[Mike Ryan]

That's crazy, right?

[Chris Cote]

I've never said that to her before.

[Greg Cote]

No, you got to say that, though.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, you must think she's hot.

[Zach Harper]

But Zaz, here's the deal. Everyone with a hot sister in law thinks their sister in law is hot. He's the only one who's allowed to say it out loud. That's the difference.

[Mike Ryan]

That's true. That's true.

[Zach Harper]

The rest of us are like, oh, my sister in law's terrible. Like, if you got a hot one, you're like, my God, she's hot, but you just can't see it out.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. And are they actually different?

[Chris Cote]

They're very similar in a lot of ways.

[Mike Ryan]

So how'd you choose?

[Chris Cote]

You know, the other one was taken.

[Stugotz]

Papa Cody. Wait a second now. You experience this? I mean, do you find one more charming than the other.

[Greg Cote]

At the very beginning, I too had difficulty telling them apart.

[Stugotz]

But do you like, now that you've gotten to know presumably both of them pretty well? Well, do you think that your boy made the right choice between the two?

[Greg Cote]

I, I, I have to say that, I mean, of course he, oh my

[Stugotz]

goodness, he, of course he did.

[Greg Cote]

Now I love my daughter in law, but, but they're eerily alike. Now, not just physically.

[Chris Cote]

What I'm about to admit now is a little embarrassing.

[Mike Ryan]

Go on.

[Chris Cote]

There are times, you know, in marriage, you know, you're going through, you know, you're. We know, we know.

[Stugotz]

It's just, you know, I don't like where this is headed.

[Chris Cote]

I don't need where Sometimes you just like, if you're trying to keep things fresh, you just imagine it's the other person.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, no, no, no.

[Greg Cote]

That. What's the matter with you, man? I didn't hear.

[Zach Harper]

Hey, guys, in room outside. Mark that down for the record.

[Stugotz]

Did everybody see, as one of the, as one of society's great empaths, did you see me try to get in the way? Did you see me try to dive in front of that? He refused. He went, he, he, he, he plowed straight ahead.

[Chris Cote]

You guys never struggle, huh?

[Dan LeBatard]

Your wife clearly, I mean,

[Mike Ryan]

no worries

[Dan LeBatard]

that this is getting back to her.

[Mike Ryan]

Tony, how you feel about that admission?

[Tony]

Not great. Yeah, not great. Even though admittedly Chris says that his wife doesn't watch the show, which is good, right?

[Dan LeBatard]

So he feels like he can shoot

[Tony]

from the hip here and not really be taken to task.

[Dan LeBatard]

Like Dave said, very good.

[Tony]

But the issue is sometimes some things are so flammable and so big that they, they peer through the, the veil of Chris saying, oh no, my wife just watch a show where she's like you said, what?

[Zach Harper]

Bigger than the show, man.

[Dan LeBatard]

Bigger than the show.

[Chris Cote]

Let's not clip this if we can.

[Mike Ryan]

That was an incredible omission.

[Stugotz]

Greg, what did you make of all that?

[Greg Cote]

A little bit unfortunate. I wish he hadn't said that. It could come back to haunt you guys.

[Chris Cote]

Never struggle.

[Greg Cote]

Well, in the context of this show, you can always say, I was just kidding. Of course I was just kidding. But will she believe you?

[Zach Harper]

I was. Okay, Include that part in the clip so that she knows.

[Greg Cote]

Okay.

[Jeremy]

Hey, listeners, it's Jeremy here. I am the member of the shipping container that cares about style. You already know this. And lately I've been trying to make getting dressed a little bit easier because I care a lot about the way I present myself, but I don't want to Overthink it. I just want to be able to walk to my closet, have stuff that fits, feels good, works together. And thankfully for me, I have Quints. They've taken over my closet. They've got all the spring staples. 100% European linen shorts and shirts that start just a tick over $30. Very good deal. Lightweight, breathable, but they still look put together. And their Pima cotton tees are ridiculously soft. Their pants hit the same balance. They're comfortable but clean enough to wear anywhere. And the reason it all works is that Quint cuts out the middlemen. They go straight to the source. You're getting premium materials, but you're not paying all the insane markups. Like, I'm talking 50 to 80% less than similar brands. You guys know I love a deal. And Quint provides it. I recently got one of their 100% linen shirts in a sky blue color. It's been in a constant rotation. I literally wore it out to dinner the other night with my wife. It's light, it breathes, it works with pretty much everything I have. You'll see it on the show soon. I can promise you that. Refresh your everyday with luxury you'll actually use. Head to Quince.com Dan for free shipping on your order and 365 day returns. Now available in Canada too.

[Greg Cote]

Yeah.

[Dan LeBatard]

You've been at many big time sporting events. You know that moment quite well. That's what it's like when you take your first sip of Cuervo. Oh, delicious. It's the signal that says, we're not checking the time anymore, pal. It's when small talk turns into stories. Cuervo, man. It's that high five. A random stranger effect. That's right. The game is popping. You're hugging people you never met before. That's the kind of energy that Cuervo brings. It's so smooth, so delicious. That's the Cuervo effect. Keep it Cuervo.

[Mike Ryan]

Don LeBatard.

[Tony]

I think I would have been on his side.

[Mike Ryan]

I would have looked at you like,

[Zach Harper]

what did you say?

[Chris Cote]

I'm telling you, me and my friend, the rest of the way home, all

[Mike Ryan]

we kept saying was, I ain't cheating stuff. I think he got your ass.

[Stugotz]

I got his way.

[Jeremy]

Chris. Chris won this one for sure.

[Stugotz]

Not that. Jeremy.

[Jeremy]

It was great.

[Mike Ryan]

This is the Dan Levitar show with the stugats. So last night, the Marlins. All right, the Marlins, they lost again. They're now four games under.400. Whatever there is, apparently at the Marlins souvenir shop. I don't know if you guys saw this, all right? I haven't been to a Marlins game this year, so I certainly have not seen this in person. But did you see this, Greg? Where at Marlins games at the souvenir shop, they have a mystery box. You know what a mystery box is?

[Greg Cote]

I do not.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, so, like, when it comes to collectibles, you know, like a lot of these collectible trading card stores, there'll be a mystery box where it's like, you. You don't know what's in it, but you know it's gonna be some good. You know, autograph this or autograph this. Maybe a jersey, maybe a helmet, maybe a ball, whatever. And they could be expensive because you're gonna get some stuff of value.

[Greg Cote]

How do you know? What if it's a lump of coal in there?

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, great question. So at the Marlins game. So this is an influencer. Snapback Sports. Okay. And I guess he does content with trading cards and stuff like that. And so this guy bought one of the Marlins mystery boxes. $300, Greg. So in that cardboard box, you paid $300 for, you know, mystery items, you're hoping it's going to be some great stuff. Right?

[Greg Cote]

Right.

[Mike Ryan]

All right, give this a watch and listen what came in this box.

[Dan LeBatard]

I think the hat is licensed. Don't think the hat is signed. Tough.

[Mike Ryan]

20 bucks, 35 bucks.

[Stugotz]

Sign.

[Dan LeBatard]

Have to scan it.

[Mike Ryan]

It's.

[Greg Cote]

It's a game.

[Dan LeBatard]

Used, not signed.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay.

[Dan LeBatard]

This item was recently authenticated and the data associated is still under quality control review.

[Mike Ryan]

What the is the point?

[Dan LeBatard]

Non signed hat. And this is still under review.

[Stugotz]

So $50.

[Dan LeBatard]

Ms. Jersey better be the great Johnson. Not shine Game use. Worst use of 300 eyes you could possibly have is this box.

[Mike Ryan]

That is so bad. It was a hat. Not signed. It's a baseball, which he. You know, they have like the sticker on it where you could see how much it's worth. What is. And apparently it's still under review and the jersey. Not signed is Tyler Johnston, who is no longer on the team, who you may remember the beginning of this season was Mother effing Marlin's fans.

[Zach Harper]

Oh, yeah, that's right. When he came back, he's like, oh, oh, yeah, yeah. All right. So there's a couple of things in this video for the. For the audio audience. You guys need to know this is in the middle of the game, but you wouldn't be able to tell by just looking at it because there's like three people in the entire stadium.

[Mike Ryan]

That's the middle of the game.

[Zach Harper]

Yeah, I saw the jumbo drawn and people were like waving and stuff like that. So it had to have been number one. Number two, this box. I know what you think. It's a mystery box. Wow. Does it have, like, cool designs on it? A big Marlins logo? Nope. It's something you get out of U haul. It's a regular cardboard box. Someone with a Sharpie wrote in handprint number three, $300, and then they stuck a marlin sticker in the top left corner. Number three. This dude looks a lot like Josh Bartlestein who's the president of the Phoenix Suns.

[Mike Ryan]

A lot.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah, that was my main takeaway.

[Greg Cote]

Yeah, me too.

[Mike Ryan]

This is so bad. Like these mystery boxes. It's supposed to be all right. We're going to get some good stuff. I wonder what it's going to be. It's not. Here's $300. I'm either get really good stuff or really shitty stuff.

[Greg Cote]

Okay. Dear influencer who just got ripped off, it's the Marlins. It's the team in baseball with the second lowest payroll with one player on the entire roster making a major league salary. What do you expect? You expect generosity from a team that is penurious and plays budget ball and just praise that their young guys are going to be both cheap and good when they grow up. It's the Marlins.

[Stugotz]

Powerful lesson, though, Greg, you know, life lesson about, you know, the Marlins took an opportunity, their marketing department did, to send a message to not just this character, but to the world. You know, everything's not going to break your way. To answer the question, Zaz, that you said earlier, what came in this box, I suspect it would Be Chris Cody, so long as his wife's sister was in there. Sorry, I don't like to work blue. I don't. That's not my way to work blue. That's not.

[Tony]

That didn't feel natural when you said it.

[Stugotz]

That's not speed.

[Tony]

Bumped it the whole way.

[Stugotz]

That's not who I am. That's not what I'm about.

[Tony]

Plow through.

[Mike Ryan]

I can't believe this box. I can't believe that they thought that that was an appropriate souvenir item.

[Tony]

Says to Amin's point, they wrote $300 with a literal Sharpie on it.

[Dan LeBatard]

So this guy's a sucker.

[Zach Harper]

Oh, he's a big top sucker.

[Mike Ryan]

Apparently they've sold four of those box.

[Zach Harper]

No shit.

[Tony]

I'd like to see what was in the other ones. Maybe that guy just got a shit box.

[Mike Ryan]

A Troy Johnston jersey.

[Zach Harper]

Like, that's the disrespectful part. Like, okay, maybe if it would have been all the same things, but it's a player who's on the roster. I think. I think you. Okay, all right. Like, maybe it was not worth 300, but it's a pretty cool thing. You gave him a jersey of someone who doesn't play for the team.

[Mike Ryan]

Who badmouthed the fans.

[Dan LeBatard]

How hard is it to get a signed ball and assigned hat? Because these are apparently game used items. Right. The hat, you don't. It's also a mystery as to whether or not it's your size. Probably not. So if a player wore it, he's just chucking it to a team equipment manager without signing it.

[Mike Ryan]

That's so bad.

[Stugotz]

Is this a joke? But is this. Are they attempting to sincerely troll the fan?

[Mike Ryan]

I hope not.

[Stugotz]

They have to. But I think they didn't go far enough. If this guy was badmouthing the fans, it's pretty funny to do that to somebody. But if you're going to do that, then don't you put like. Well, I don't know who their natural rival is. The Braves. I mean, whoever it is, don't you put a Brave jersey in there.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Zach Harper]

Guys, I hate to interrupt this thrilling conversation, but the audio audience, I don't know that they know this is happening. Chris is out in the hallway right here. He's on the. Well, looks like he just hung up.

[Mike Ryan]

No.

[Tony]

Or got hung up on.

[Greg Cote]

No way.

[Mike Ryan]

He's arguing with somebody on the cell phone.

[Zach Harper]

I mean, I'm pretty sure I can

[Greg Cote]

tell who it is.

[Mike Ryan]

No, he's. He's arguing.

[Zach Harper]

Yeah, it's. It's not somebody's Ass could be the sister.

[Mike Ryan]

This is not good.

[Stugotz]

She's probably flattered right now. I don't think she'd be upset about anything.

[Mike Ryan]

Everyone's looking at him now out there.

[Zach Harper]

Hold on, Dave. You have the sister. You're like, huh? Like just kind of a little kind of flattered by the whole situation.

[Stugotz]

Well, I mean, back to where it started.

[Dan LeBatard]

Shouldn't.

[Stugotz]

Shouldn't. Chris's wife, you know, I mean, of all the. The misdemeanors that. Or felonies that could be committed, this one's pretty good, right?

[Mike Ryan]

It's flattering. Here. All right. Chris just walked back in. Yo, what is going on? Or I mean, I think we know what's going on. What is going on?

[Chris Cote]

We got a bunch of sleuths in this audience. I don't know who told her. She's definitely not watching live. Somebody told her.

[Mike Ryan]

What do they tell her?

[Chris Cote]

I mean, she. She's not thrilled.

[Zach Harper]

What do you think, Zaz? They told her that when he can't get enough, he thinks of her sister.

[Chris Cote]

She's just like, everything's not a bit. You know, your whole life doesn't have to be a bit. At least she thinks it's a bit.

[Greg Cote]

You said you were just kidding. And she said what?

[Chris Cote]

She. She was just like, why am I getting text of it?

[Stugotz]

Like, just not good.

[Chris Cote]

This is not good.

[Dan LeBatard]

Wow.

[Greg Cote]

I don't know who to.

[Chris Cote]

I think it's someone in our midst.

[Zach Harper]

I play Fuentes.

[Chris Cote]

Yeah, someone in our agent of chaos. I'm telling you, her friends aren't listening to this either. This is someone in our midst.

[Stugotz]

Wow.

[Tony]

The call came from inside the house.

[Zach Harper]

Is it Dan? You know, he's up. Wild times, right? So it's like 6:20 on the west coast.

[Mike Ryan]

You know how time zones work.

[Zach Harper]

I know exactly how time zones work. Do you know how time zone work?

[Greg Cote]

I do.

[Zach Harper]

So.

[Mike Ryan]

Mountain confuses me though.

[Zach Harper]

Dan gets up super early, but super early on the west coast is regular time for us, which means he might be watching the show. And Dan, we all know you can't trust Dan with any secrets. This guy is the biggest leaky faucet there is in all the land. I'm blaming Dan.

[Mike Ryan]

How do you feel about witnessing what just went down, Greg?

[Greg Cote]

I'm not real happy about it. It's. It's a bad situation.

[Chris Cote]

Someone else be vulnerable.

[Greg Cote]

Someone else.

[Chris Cote]

Dave, give me something that you do in the bedroom that would get you in trouble.

[Mike Ryan]

No.

[Stugotz]

Greg, do you want to take your boy to task here?

[Mike Ryan]

I mean, I assume that that's what Upsets you.

[Stugotz]

Right? That's where your emotions are right now. The primary one is. Is upset. Like I thought I. You.

[Mike Ryan]

I mean, you're going to be given some love advice today. So this is actually not a bad spot.

[Chris Cote]

The Love Doctor can help me here.

[Greg Cote]

I've got a doctorate in the amorous arts.

[Mike Ryan]

As most people, we're doing love advice today because Mother's Day is this weekend, and it was so popular when the Love Doctor checked in on Valentine's. So you're going to give us some love.

[Stugotz]

House call. Physician, heal thy son.

[Chris Cote]

This is scramble. Days like this Wednesday, Thursday, Friday before Mother's Day, everyone's scrambling.

[Greg Cote]

Yeah. What's annoying about this is that Christopher volunteered this controversy upon himself. You know, he. He took a shit and then decided to step in his own shit and not. Not to use bad language. I apologize. Good analogy to all the kids listening. But I don't know what as he's saying that I'm like, don't go there. And he went there. And now I made, like, the Secret

[Stugotz]

Service, you know, I made Light Eastwood in that. In that movie from 30, 40 years ago, right. When Malkovich was trying to take out.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, in the Line of Fire.

[Stugotz]

In the Line of Fire.

[Mike Ryan]

I made, like, Eastwood.

[Stugotz]

I dove in front of that thing and he said, get out of the way.

[Mike Ryan]

He makes a gun out of wood? No.

[Stugotz]

No. Yeah, Right.

[Zach Harper]

Plastic or something, 3D printing back in the day.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, it makes it out of wood, and he puts the little. You know what? I don't want to give away how to get past security with bullets, so let's stop. Can I.

[Zach Harper]

Can I just say right now, I'll make a confession. Not like Chris's confession, but a confession nonetheless. I don't understand how 3D printing works.

[Mike Ryan]

Neither do I.

[Zach Harper]

How do you 3D print a gun? I just don't understand. I'm not asking, how do you do it? I'm just saying, how does that even work?

[Greg Cote]

Right?

[Zach Harper]

A printer just. And then now it works like a regular.

[Stugotz]

I think of Chris Cody's wife's sister. Really helps.

[Dan LeBatard]

The other night, I was staying in. At least that was a plan. Then the text from my buddy Eagle Eye comes in. Mike, we've got the games on. I say, yeah. I grab a pack of Miller Lite, and immediately my plan's gone. Now it's playoff basketball. Every possession feels huge. Baseball's on another screen, and I somehow care about that, too. Everybody's got takes flying. Nobody's watching. Just one thing, and we're all way more into it than we ever expected. It was one of those nights that you take a sip, you look around and you think, yeah, this was the right move. That's why I reached for Miller Lite. It's clean, refreshing, easy to drink, brewed for taste with simple ingredients, just 96 calories and 3.2 carbs. The original light beer since 1975 and it still hits different cheers to legendary moments with Miller Lite. Great taste. 96 calories. Go to millerlight.com dan to find delivery options near you.

[Mike Ryan]

This is the Dan leitar show with the stugats. So we are in week number two now. I'll help you out here, Chris. I'll change the topic.

[Chris Cote]

Thank you.

[Mike Ryan]

We are in week number two now of keep Michael, your mark the hell away from the university of Miami and south Florida.

[Greg Cote]

Is it working?

[Mike Ryan]

Well, I don't know. Mike. Would be a good person to ask here. The university of Miami athletic director position is open. Two weeks ago, we learned that upon Dan radakovich stepping down, he's retiring that Mike. It was reported that michael, your mark has been offered the job, and then it turned into, oh, no, he hasn't been offered the job, but he's. He's at the top of the list. Well, we're going in week number two of like I said, keep Michael yormark the hell away from university of Miami and south Florida. Where do we currently stand, Mike Ryan?

[Dan LeBatard]

Well, Michael, your mark does not have the job yet, and that. That is a success for those who care about the university of Miami.

[Mike Ryan]

Have you heard of anyone you know? Have you heard a single person say, I think he'd be good for the job?

[Dan LeBatard]

Clearly, some influential boosters do think that he's the man for the job. Now you can draw a line. Like, David Epstein is a member of the board. He was a minority owner of the Florida panthers. So he was with the panthers. He obviously has good things to say about Michael Yormark. And in defense, a meager defense of Michael yormark. That wasn't the greatest ownership group, and it was a tough job at the time that he had it. Much better ownership group now means it's a much better job. But also, the people that are in place right now had to dig themselves out of a massive hole that Michael yormark left him into. I Had a different experience working for Michael Yormark, not part of the ownership group. And I think he'd be a terrible athletic director for the University of Miami. He's purported to be this deal maker. I have zero evidence of that. Made bad deals, in fact, did a lot of self dealing with the Florida Panthers. And David Sampson gave voice to why all the other team presidents were really upset with Michael Yormark, considering what he did to the sponsorship marketplace. Also just not a good guy. Yep, not a good person.

[Mike Ryan]

That's the experience that I knew of.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah, not a good guy. Bad to work for a high stress environment. Not a lot of production, not a lot of efficiency. And I just do not see how his personality type, which I don't know, may have changed in the last 20 years. I do not see how that personality type works with the people in place in Coral Gables right now. Primarily Mario Cristobal. I do not want Michael Yormark anywhere near Mario Cristobal.

[Mike Ryan]

The athletic program is in such a good spot right now. You could say as great a spot they've been in in a very long time. Just all encompassing. And to add such a toxic person into the mix here would be so incredibly disappointing.

[Stugotz]

Can you go back very quickly for my sake at least? I bet some of the audience too. Cliff's notes it for me very quickly. Says, what? Why the hatred of this guy? Because I see you talking on social media about it. Got to keep my brain just touched on it a little bit. What is the history of this cat? I'm sorry, I don't know much about him.

[Mike Ryan]

He was the CEO of the Florida Panthers for about a dozen years. It was. And during those dozen years, the Panthers, you could easily make the case, were the most embarrassing, pathetic franchise in all of professional sports. Just completely incompetent. And Mike mentioned, you know, the money aspect, the business aspect of it, which is supposed to be his acumen. But we didn't see any of that with the Florida Panthers. And most importantly, at least to me, this was a nasty man. The way that he treated people, the way that he made people feel in the environment. People who I know were incredibly hard workers and care very, very much about the Florida Panthers. The way that he would treat these people is repugnant. This is a man who needs to. And by the way, once he left the Panthers because ownership change, he was out. They're one of the great organizations now, not just the winning. Yeah, the winning's obviously fantastic, but 12

[Dan LeBatard]

years is not a small sample, but

[Mike Ryan]

a completely competent football franchise. Great franchise. Now this man should. Should. South Florida does not want Michael Yormark anywhere near Mike.

[Greg Cote]

Mike, I asked this honestly. You're a golden cane. You're on the inside. What is the process of hiring a new athletic director? Like, who's in charge of that? Who makes the decision ultimately?

[Dan LeBatard]

So this is going to be Joe Echeveria's call, and he has a brain trust that he leans on. Now, Michael Yormorck was at games back in September. We saw him at a game.

[Mike Ryan]

I saw him. I pointed out to you when you brought me to the Kings gang, oh, it's Michael, your mark.

[Dan LeBatard]

And I'm like, he's been here. And the word was back then he was angling for Dan Radakovich's job, and successfully, I might add, because this was all being done in backroom deals. And the reason why it was reported that he had been offered the job is I don't even doubt that he was, but he was just offered the job by somebody who doesn't actually have the power to do so, who thought they could just, you know, tuck it on.

[Mike Ryan]

Maybe it was kind of like, hey, do you want the job? And, you know, there weren't really.

[Dan LeBatard]

There wasn't anybody else angling for this job. And Michael, your mark's best chance to become athletic director at the University of Miami was this being done in a back room and just, you know, tucked in behind the scenes.

[Mike Ryan]

And then people found out.

[Dan LeBatard]

And then people found out, which was the worst thing to happen to Michael, your mark. And this is not. I understand there's a lot of politicking and we haven't mentioned any other candidates. For me, it's cut and dry. Anybody but Michael Jormack. I could not, honestly, I could not, hand to God, recommend a worse candidate than Michael Yormark.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, like, if someone went up to you and said, who would be the worst candidate of people who might be qualified and names might be thrown out there, who would be the worst candidate to be the new AD at the University of Miami? Michael Jormark would be the one that'd be like, there's no talking me into this.

[Dan LeBatard]

Best I can tell, the thing that he has going for him is who his brother is, which is not where we want to be. Miami's not Big 12.

[Mike Ryan]

OK, so another identical twin.

[Dan LeBatard]

So, like, his. Whoever the ad is, is not going to have this experience in conference realignment, I don't think. And they're just assuming that because of who his brother is, he has that. From what I can tell his brother's done a good job at the Big 12. His brother's not Michael, your mark. I don't understand what we're doing just because who his brother is. I 12 years down here in this market mismanaging what has now become a premier franchise in the NHL. So I think that the University of Miami has seen the feedback to this and I saw this comment. I was like telling people like that you this. We cannot be serious.

[Mike Ryan]

I was disgusted, but people had no idea.

[Dan LeBatard]

People had no idea about the Florida Panthers prior to what they've done on the ice here recently. And I was warning people. I'm like, I work for this guy. You have no idea who the reputation this guy has in town. I had to invoke David Sampson's name. I'm like, he's in that tier of loathe the local executives. And that's when people started to get it.

[Mike Ryan]

Like, David, Sam, David Sampson thinks Michael Yormark's despicable.

[Zach Harper]

Okay, I got a question, Mike. Are the people involved in the decision making, are they not from here. I would think that someone who works in sports in south Florida would be as kind of up to date on these things. I mean.

[Mike Ryan]

I mean, how do you think a snake oil salesman becomes successful?

[Dan LeBatard]

He's. He's got a lot of snakes. He's conning folks. And the people that were kind of in on him had no idea about Panthers hockey.

[Zach Harper]

But that's what I'm saying. Like. Like, I don't know. It just seems to me if you're going to hire somebody and he's been here in our market before, wouldn't you talk to the people in our market who worked with inform?

[Dan LeBatard]

It's bewildering. It's a guy that presents well, obviously has gone pretty in life, handling things a certain way. He knows how to present. He knows how to impress the right people, and he did. However, this thing has been drawn out, they have seen the reaction to this. It is absolutely given everybody pause. I do think that they are, as they said, conducting a more formal search. I don't think that they've actually reached out to firms to do this. I think that they have a couple of candidates in mind. They do have an interim leadership in place. I would not discount the chances of the people that they've temporarily put in that spot. There have been a couple of other names out there reported. Jeff Purinton, Jim for bola. I think that any. I think anybody is an upgrade over Michael Yormark. For me, I can endorse Another candidate. But that's not what this is about. I want them to hire whoever they feel is best, provided that that person is not Michael Yormark. He would be a disaster.

[Mike Ryan]

I endorse Jim Provola.

[Stugotz]

My question is this for you guys. First of all, it sounds like you're describing both sides of. Of the Canseco brothers when you're talking about the your mark brothers. It sounds like Michael has the talent of Ozzie Canseco and is as big an asshole as Jose is or worse.

[Dan LeBatard]

That's really.

[Stugotz]

Which offends you more, though, as a fan, are you zaz because you wear it on your sleeve, which I appreciate. We park our cars in the same emotional garage. On that front we wear. Do you resent him because he's an asshole? That's why you don't want him touching the U? Or is it that you think he will bring them back to mediocrity?

[Mike Ryan]

I resent him because what I've seen with him running the business side of one of my most things in life, I enjoy the most. He was terrible at it, and the team was embarrassing, so I wouldn't want something like that. Tap into the University of Miami. But also, I decided I don't have time for nasty people. I don't have time for it.

[Dan LeBatard]

People often confuse assholes with alphas, and I think that's kind of what's happened with Michael Yormark. He was the worst kind of person to work for because it wasn't just that he was abrasive. Look, I've run into different managers. Some people aren't people people, and they still get results. He didn't get results a dozen years in this market of them being an embarrassment. And on top of that, a miserable culture where he meddled in a lot of things that he shouldn't have been. He was in the era of broadcasters, and he was a. He was a tyrant back then. It just not at all a match with the culture that Miami has worked so hard on changing. They have really good people in place. I want someone to be an ally and a bridge between the athletic department and the football team, which is now a huge revenue generator. And this guy's a meddler. He is a glory hound. He is the worst possible personality to drop into that athletic department. Trust me, I know. I was there for two years.

[Stugotz]

You say you just said.

[Chris Cote]

I thought.

[Stugotz]

I think it's an important distinction as you interact with other human beings. There are assholes and then there are asses. And that's an important line to Make. I would rather be given a choice. I'd rather be the asshole. Cuz it means you have some gravitas. It sounds to me long and short. This guy is both an asshole and an ass.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

I think it's a good way of putting it.

[Dan LeBatard]

Just bad. Just bad at his job, but really, really good if his job is climbing without actually putting results there. He's amazing at that. He's amazing at tricking people into thinking he's good. He's not good, he's bad.

[Mike Ryan]

He's the opposite of good. Greg, it's your time to shine. The Love Doctor is opening up its doors for business. Why don't you go on over there? Go get. Get to your office. All right.

[Greg Cote]

I got to get in my scrubs.

[Mike Ryan]

Yep. Get to your office. The Love Doctor, he's gonna be giving out the advice Mother's Day. Now, we did that. You gave great advice for Valentine's. All right, now, Mother's Day is not Valentine's. They're close. It's close, but still very important advice. So we're gonna. We're gonna get some questions for him, right? And we'll see if he can help us out.

[Chris Cote]

Listeners sent in questions. So fun.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, perfect. So the Love doctor, he's gonna go change into his scrubs. That's what he said he's gone to. He's gonna change into his scrubs. He's gonna.

[Zach Harper]

Is he a love surgeon or a love doctor?

[Tony]

Doctors wear scrubs, too.

[Mike Ryan]

Doctors wear scrubs. Yeah.

[Zach Harper]

They're going to surgery, right?

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, but you want to be comfortable. Who knows when surgery is going to start? You be called, so. Okay, emergency surgery. Let me get dressed.

[Stugotz]

No, it's a humble brag.

[Mike Ryan]

You want to be ready to go.

[Zach Harper]

Wait a second. If you're a doctor, do you think you'd rather be in scrubs or in a regular lab coat?

[Mike Ryan]

All right, maybe we'll ask the Love Doctor.

The other night, I was staying in. At least that was a plan. Then the text from my buddy Eagle Eye comes in. Mike, we've got the games on. I say, yeah. I grab a pack of Miller Lite, and immediately my plan's gone. Now it's playoff basketball. Every possession feels huge. Baseball's on another screen, and I somehow care about that, too. Everybody's got takes flying. Nobody's watching. Just one thing, and we're all way more into it than we ever expected. It was one of those nights that you take a sip, you look around, and you think, yeah, this was the right move. That's why I reached for Miller Lite. It's clean, refreshing, easy to drink, brewed for taste with simple ingredients, just 96 calories and 3.2 carbs. The original light beer since 1975, and it still hits different cheers to legendary moments with Miller Lite. Great taste 96 calories.
