Episode Overview

Broadcast from the Elser Hotel in Downtown Miami, the second hour brings together Dan Le Batard, Stugotz, and their crew for classic banter on sports, pop-culture, and wrestling. This episode’s focal point is a candid, raucous conversation with former WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman—now going by his real name, Adam Scherr—to promote his new food-and-travel show, Everything on the Menu. The hosts also riff about sports media issues, pro wrestling’s recent woes, food challenges, and more, all in their signature irreverent, improvisational style.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Stat of the Day & Show Banter

[01:11-03:59]

• The “Stat of the Day” playfully analyzes Travis Kelce’s NFL performance before and after a viral song—comic banter ensues about the effect of "dick songs" on his stats.
• Extended riffing on sports rituals, statues, and inheritance, with Greg Cody and Chris Farley discussing what their own statues might look like and joking over wills and controlling money (“You act like you control your money.” - Greg Cody [03:37]).
• The hosts’ local flavor shines through—debates about neighborhood bars, bowling, and famous gestures.

2. Sports Streaming Frustrations

[07:01-09:41]

• Dan expresses exasperation over streaming complications—especially with ESPN’s new tiered service ("You need ESPN Unlimited to watch a cable channel you pay for" - Dan Le Batard [08:01]).
• The gang’s collective groaning over cable logins, app bugginess, and being forced to choose between Disney, YouTube TV, and live sports.

  “I don’t like this. I’m not supporting this. You got me picking between Disney and that’s how bad this is getting.” — Dan Le Batard [08:34]

3. Wrestling’s Business Problems

[08:44-12:16]

• A detailed rundown of WWE’s declining attendance, soaring ticket prices, and product stagnation.
• WWE's streaming/TV deals and their effect on fans and event locations (“Announced New Orleans, now it goes to Vegas for back-to-back years. No one likes that.” - Dan Le Batard [10:42]).
• The hosts agree TKO (WWE’s parent company) is alienating fans with “capitalist prices” and a lesser product, culminating in a cry for a wrestling insider to explain recent missteps.

4. Braun Strowman Joins the Show:

[14:41-36:17]

Everything On The Menu

[14:41-19:26]

• Braun describes his new show where he literally eats everything on the menu at two signature restaurants per episode:

  “The premise behind the show is I do two restaurants every episode...you’re taking a bite out of American history...and then, you know, I can’t make up my mind what I want to eat… Well, neither can I. So everything on the menu, man.” — Braun Strowman [15:10]

• His approach combines blue-collar gusto with awe for culinary variety (“I’m just a redneck that’s had so many amazing jobs… now it’s my opportunity to do more stuff I love, which is putting smiles on people’s faces.” [18:07]).
• Notable focus: food brings people together—conversations, new relationships, bonding.

Behind the Scenes: Eating and Wrestling Life

[16:07-22:28]

• Braun shares prep strategies for the show—hard fasting, cardio, and recovery after food marathons ("There's a lot of prep that goes into filming an episode...I won't eat again for 24-36 hours after that" [16:08]).
• His culinary conversion moments: learning to love lamb and peas after years of hate [19:09].

Handling Public Recognition

[20:52-21:38]

• Braun is generally grateful for fan interaction, but admits airport baggage claims and mid-meal approaches can be taxing:

  “The day that stuff like that stops happening is the day that I need to worry that people are forgetting about me… but there’s a time and place for everything.” — Braun Strowman [21:00]

Food Challenge Advice

[21:38-22:28]

• Chris Cody plans to eat 99 chicken nuggets. Braun’s strategy? Drink water to “stretch your stomach” and maybe “get really stoned” [21:57].
  • Extended jokes about dipping nuggets in water vs. sauce ("I feel like ranch has a little bit more lubricity. Is that a word? I think lubrication." — Stugotz [22:44]).

The WWE Business & Developmental Crisis

[22:58-25:20]

• Braun candidly discusses how cutting local house shows hurts talent development:

  “All these little house shows… is hurting the talent because the talent doesn’t have an opportunity to go out and really refine their craft…That’s how I learned how to do it all.” — Braun Strowman [23:43]

• Recognizes TKO’s financial concerns but frames it as a loss for both audience connection and the craft.

Travel, Memories, and Wrestling Life

[27:27-30:02]

• Braun describes the wild WWE travel schedule pre-pandemic ("We would fly out Friday morning...drive 300 miles...I did that for 3 or 4 and a half years straight" [27:39]).
• Shares gratitude that Everything on the Menu allows him to show his real personality (Adam Scherr), rather than just the Braun persona:

  “If WWE would have let me be Adam Scherr, I would have ruled the world.” — Braun Strowman [30:00]

Notable Road & Food Stories

[25:28-26:37]; [32:24-33:09]

• Bonding with former president George W. Bush at a charity golf event and grilling lobsters for him [32:24].
• His father’s legendary slow pitch softball career, racking up hundreds of home runs and entering four hall of fames [33:18].

5. Lighter Moments & Running Jokes

[30:02-37:06]

• Mike gets punked as a “sucker” for basic wrestler questions (“What’s your favorite John Cena story?”).
• The group riffs on journalism best practices (never a two-part question, open-ended prompts).
• Braun promises to visit Miami, try local Cuban sandwiches, and share his own tequila: “If you guys like tequila and you want to show me around Miami and change my opinion on Cuban sandwiches, we’ll throw a couple back…” [36:24].

[Dan Le Batard]

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.

[Stugats]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

What are you doing here? Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true. But even during ad reads like Cuervo, I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.

[Stugats]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo.

[Stugats]

Stat of the day is presented by Amazon Prime Video. Thursday night football is on. The Las Vegas Raiders take on the Denver Broncos. Coverage begins Thursday at 7pm Eastern only on Prime Video. Jeremy, what do we got?

[Chris Coates]

Per Hunter Volpe, Travis Kelce's first four games this season, 15 catches, 182 yards and one touchdown. Travis Kelce's last five games after a song about his penis was released. 30 catches, 258 yards and two touchdowns.

[Mike]

Nice.

[Dan Le Batard]

Better.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

There you go.

[Mike]

More dick songs. That's what we need.

[Chris Farley]

Yeah. Uncle Dick.

[Mike]

Is that what we need?

[Dan Le Batard (show intro)]

Start of the day.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

You guys wanted to call him. You done as Haslam.

[Stugats]

All right.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Disrespectful.

[Dan Le Batard]

So and so, like every now and then, UD gets some playing time. After seven games, Right in the pun.

[Ron]

Baseline jumper.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hits that baseline jumper and you're like, wow.

[Stugats]

Right?

[Chris Farley]

Aren't they building a statue of ud?

[Dan Le Batard]

He still has it.

[Greg Cody]

Aren't you building a statue of yourself?

[Chris Farley]

I'm thinking about it, yeah. Yeah.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

What would be the pose?

[Chris Farley]

I'm not sure yet. That's a good question.

[Mike]

What do you think the neighbors would say?

[Chris Farley]

I think they would be a guest. They would laugh because they would assume it's not there for a long period of time.

[Greg Cody]

Do the pose that. Stand up and do the pose that you've always done. You're famous. Like, you know, if you were to flex and be a bodybuilder, I think this is what it should be.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Famous Greg Cody.

[Greg Cody]

This is a famous Greg Cody. I've seen him do this.

[Ron]

I like that. I don't know what that was, but I liked it.

[Stugats]

Yeah. Wow.

[Mike]

Gives me Shawn Michaels vibes.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's not an action shot of what I've seen him do, though.

[Greg Cody]

No, that's not. He screwed it up. It's not exactly like, it looks like.

[Dan Le Batard]

You'Re like, rest in peace, Victor Conte.

[Chris Farley]

I screwed it up as my. It's my thing.

[Chris Coates]

You do it.

[Greg Cody]

It has, like, your front foot up, and you're like.

[Chris Farley]

Well, that's what I just did.

[Greg Cody]

No, but you were, like, crouched over.

[Chris Farley]

Oh, you know.

[Chris Coates]

Oh, that.

[Chris Farley]

Thank you.

[Greg Cody]

I mean, jeez.

[Chris Farley]

I mean, the one where you go like this.

[Greg Cody]

There you go like that. He's been doing that my entire life.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Is that like a conquering hero? You put your foot on the carcass of the person you just defeated?

[Chris Farley]

You know, that is the statue. That is the second move. Yeah, but it's going to cost me, like, 6K.

[Mike]

Yeah, but, I mean, you know, money's. You know, you can't take it with you when you die.

[Ron]

Exactly.

[Chris Farley]

I could leave it to my kids, but why bother?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

These ingrates. Never. This guy called you Donna's Haslam.

[Greg Cody]

That's a compliment.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

No, it's not.

[Chris Farley]

Christopher's laughing. He's going. He's kidding. Right? We're going to get money.

[Chris Coates]

Right?

[Greg Cody]

You act like you control your money.

[Chris Farley]

Well, I control. Well, I was about to say I control my wife, but that's not true, either.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Hold on.

[Chris Farley]

Close.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

So the. The. The last will and testament of Greg.

[Stugats]

Is.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Is it specific in there? Does it get into specifics of the.

[Greg Cody]

I can answer this.

[Chris Coates]

Yes.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Oh, it does.

[Chris Farley]

How do you know?

[Greg Cody]

Me and mom have talked about all this stuff.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Really?

[Greg Cody]

You guys are getting old.

[Stugats]

Wow.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

So. And it's like, this much goes to charity. And this much goes to charity. Charity, okay.

[Dan Le Batard]

Charity.

[Ron]

Chris Coates.

[Greg Cody]

Who's that?

[Stugats]

Charity?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Does it go to you, Chris, or does it go straight to your. Your kid?

[Greg Cody]

No, it goes. I am the. Is that my brother? I have a brother.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

And one of us had to be kind of put in the. And I'm the responsible one, believe it or not.

[Chris Farley]

I'm gonna have to have a talk with my lawyer about that.

[Mike]

What are we talking about here, like a 50, 50 kind of deal?

[Chris Farley]

I don't know. I didn't know. I didn't know there were any specific telling you. He doesn't know. Guys, really, they're doing this behind your back tonight.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

You got to go.

[Chris Farley]

Speaking of Will, this is ridiculous. I should know all this power of attorney. Why is your mother working behind my back?

[Greg Cody]

It's called just planning for the future in case something horrific happens.

[Mike]

Are you sure that it's been planned?

[Greg Cody]

I have a folder.

[Mike]

Gotcha.

[Chris Farley]

He's got a in on that.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

How is he being left out of these decisions?

[Greg Cody]

I'm telling you, he's aware of this. He just doesn't remember anything.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Okay, I don't know about that.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Chris Farley]

Thank you.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

I don't trust this.

[Mike]

You may want to rehash some of this, Craig. You may disagree with some.

[Chris Farley]

Damn right I will.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

You go home.

[Chris Farley]

I'm going to review and you should.

[Ron]

Get a couple statues. Now that I think about it, you should get a couple statues, spend their inheritance on yourself. In the last couple of years, you got five statues instead of 1.6K one.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

And then this is what you do.

[Mike]

You.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

You leave the statues to them exactly you want.

[Stugats]

Here's a great horror.

[Greg Cody]

Sell that.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, sell it.

[Mike]

Tangible.

[Chris Farley]

You keep it.

[Ron]

It's an heirloom.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Put it in your front yard.

[Chris Farley]

And like any good statue, it's going to be slightly larger than life. Oh yeah, Maybe I'll be like 6:1. Wait, your height, you mean not counting the pedestal?

[Greg Cody]

Okay, I saw some graphic on social media where it was just every president and their height and weight, and I was just playing the game of like, who am I? Whoop. And I. Theodore Roosevelt.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Wow, nice. Get you some glasses.

[Greg Cody]

He's like 5 10, around 220.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Slick your hair real good.

[Stugats]

220, huh?

[Chris Farley]

It's heavy.

[Mike]

You know, on a good day, svelte.

[Greg Cody]

Just the closest one I could find.

[Dan Le Batard]

How about a bad day? Let's talk about the bad days.

[Ron]

A night of bowling, couple Miller Lights in you.

[Dan Le Batard]

Only 96 calories, 3.2 carbs.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

How about that Flanagan Miller light? Just got me back to Kendall, baby. I want to go back to Kendall.

[Chris Coates]

This right here, that should be the Greg statue performing in Vegas as the. The front man of The Hee Haw 3.

[Greg Cody]

Look at that.

[Chris Coates]

Holding up the hand. Got the mic, microphone.

[Stugats]

I get the stand.

[Greg Cody]

Fake singing back there.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, Jeremy actually singing. I can't believe as a white man, you look so much like Ray Charles there.

[Chris Farley]

It's glasses.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's incredible.

[Chris Farley]

That's the last time I've dressed up.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's almost translucent.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

It looks. If it. If I didn't know that it happened for real, I would say this is Photoshop. Charles, It's Sora. Yeah. Sorry. Would have someone else singing for some reason.

[Dan Le Batard]

Are you in the hall of Fame, not your band. But are you gonna watch the Rock and Roll hall of Fame induction?

[Chris Farley]

I think I will. When has that aired?

[Dan Le Batard]

I think that this weekend on Disney. It's on Disney plus, so not on YouTube TV. Rock and roll hall of Fame is, like, on somewhere every year. Different. Like, it's a different platform.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Can I say something? I discovered for the first time just how many people have YouTube TV because they won't stop whining about my go.

[Stugats]

My God.

[Dan Le Batard]

I finally found.

[Ron]

Get Hulu.

[Dan Le Batard]

I finally found where I'm not crossing. And it's this ESPN Unlimited stuff. And I'm a WWE fans, as you know this.

[Mike]

I love wwe.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm punting on the product and like, this whole thing that they're doing with YouTube TV, getting the ACC coaches to be like, wow, YouTube. YouTube is so bad. Get out of here.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

I don't care what's happening. I'm not. I'm not understanding.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's a power play to get you to get espn. What is it? Unlimited?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Yeah, that's the new espn, which is.

[Dan Le Batard]

You know what I realize is I don't get the channels that I pay for with the ESPN app anymore. Like, I have a cable package and through a different carrier, I also have YouTube TV because I like to spoil myself during the football season. Okay, So I get it like, all right, well, YouTube carrier. I don't get ESPN that way, but I have Xfinity. That's what my login is.

[Chris Coates]

Right?

[Dan Le Batard]

And I can't watch, like, ESPN2 live. I was trying to watch a Ramblin Rec over the weekend, and the app number one, it sucks. Terrible app, bad app. Laggy Sound is all bad. Multiview is super behind. I don't like the app right now. They got work to do on the app. But I try to watch the Ramblin Rec because I don't have a cable outlet directly into my TV in my bedroom. And something that I was able to do before, I can't do anymore. No, you need ESPN Unlimited to watch a cable channel you pay for because that's ESPN Unlimited now. I don't like this. I'm not. I'm not supporting this. You got me picking between Disney and that's how bad this is going. I'm not going to watch. Look, WWE has got to give me a reason to watch, too. That product is flat out bad.

[Ron]

Are you just a sucker?

[Mike]

I enjoy. Don't ever call me a sucker.

[Ron]

Are you a sucker because Mike says he's out and you're in?

[Mike]

I'm a pretend I didn't hear that.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's bad stuff right now.

[Mike]

I watched Raw last night. Raw was good.

[Dan Le Batard]

You see this attendance? Attendance is cratering because of TK did.

[Mike]

Not show the upper deck last night. Upper deck was definitely tarped off. Yeah, not a good crowd.

[Dan Le Batard]

They overplayed their hand, man. They overplayed their hand.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Why, why are the people turning away?

[Mike]

Very expensive. Very super.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

It's always been expensive.

[Dan Le Batard]

All the comments, though overtly political. Now they have really capitalist prices that don't make sense.

[Mike]

It's outrageous.

[Dan Le Batard]

The prices are going one way while the economy's going the other way. And they expect people to just keep buying this stuff, which is, by the way, the product totally diminished. Predictable. The cards aren't good anymore. They're not giving you a reason to watch. I don't like it. And if it's at the crux of this whole ESPN Unlimited thing, I don't think the products had a place where I should pay for it.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Speaking of Raw, by the way, that's the hardest one to hold.

[Mike]

I mean, you heard me yesterday complaining about the prices for John Cena's last match. Like I'm being serious.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

I thought that was for tickets to get in price. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's for tickets. But all these other shows have tickets and you, you purchase them to go. They've gone from sold out arena.

[Mike]

It was not a good crowd.

[Dan Le Batard]

25,000.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Right.

[Dan Le Batard]

For their, their, their flagship show, Smackdown and Raw. Like not even their ples to get it. Like 5,000 maybe if you're lucky.

[Mike]

Only the lower level was filled last night.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

I feel like this would be a much bigger story if it were a mainstream sport or even even like a concert series. Right. Like whenever so and so has to cancel the tour because they couldn't sell enough tickets.

[Mike]

But that's never possible for wrestling. They're never going to cancel the show.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. Because they have a weekly. Because of the TV commitment to Netflix and usa.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Right.

[Dan Le Batard]

But we've been sounding the alarm bells. Like wrestling fans have been sounding the alarm bells for months and months and months. Like you guys aren't fan friendly right now. Your prices don't make sense.

[Mike]

It's good though. I'm glad to see there wasn't a lot of people there because maybe they'll adjust the prices.

[Dan Le Batard]

They're doing things like ripping. WrestleMania is away from towns that they already announced. They announced New Orleans. Now it gets to go to Vegas for back to back years. No one likes that.

[Mike]

In January, Royal Rumble, which is probably their second biggest show of the year it's in Saudi, it sucks.

[Dan Le Batard]

Which next year Saudi Arabia is also getting WrestleMania. They're making bad decision after bad decision and they're wondering why the crowds are thinner. Look in the mirror. They had a terrible WrestleMania season. They wasted all the buyer buy in that they had from their biggest fans. After WrestleMania 40, which was a great event, they botched this whole John Cena.

[Mike]

I mean I think it really does boil down to ticket prices are outrageous.

[Dan Le Batard]

They're outrageous.

[Mike]

I think that's by four far.

[Dan Le Batard]

They're outrageous.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

But the product outrageous. Not in the context of John Cena's.

[Stugats]

Last no, no, no.

[Dan Le Batard]

But the product also fell off. Was a red hot product. Well, if only we could talk to an expert about this because I do think that there are certain things plaguing the fan base at Braun Stroman, who worked at that company for a very long time and is aware of TKO's business practices. Maybe he can shine some light on them.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Well, let me ask this though. Like in the context you're saying, that ticket price is out of whack. Yesterday we talked about the John Cena's last fight. 700 or $500 right now the because.

[Mike]

I'm going, I just don't have the tickets yet. Cheapest ticket in the lower level is $500.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

But what it would be a typical. A typical WrestleMania or typical like if.

[Mike]

It was a few years ago, let's say.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Yeah, like before all of this.

[Mike]

If this event was a few years ago, like essentially before TKO bought wwe. Let's do it like that. The cheapest ticket to get in the lower level, I'd say be, I don't know, 125 maybe.

[Mike]

Don LeBatard My algorithm on Instagram is. Dan, it's all boobs.

[Stugats]

Stugats.

[Mike]

It's a good algorithm.

[Stugats]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the stugats.

[Chris Coates]

Foreign.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, I'd like to welcome Braun Strowman on. He's got a cool show to promote. I mean, can you lob that up?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Absolutely. It's called Everything on the Menu and it airs Fridays at 10 Eastern on the USA Network. It is a travel and eating show. Braun Strowman's here with us. WWE wrestler and was once the WWE Universal Champion. Before we get into what we've been arguing about right here, Ron, the premise of your show is you go to a restaurant and you order everything on the menu. Not to taste, but to eat it all.

[Mike]

Oh, my God.

[Stugats]

Well, to try some of the restaurants, it's impossible to some of the restaurants, I have no problem crushing their entire menu. The premise behind the show is I do two restaurants every episode. The first restaurant is kind of the nostalgia signature dish for the city. All those restaurants I did were open 50, 60 years. So you're getting in there, you're hearing the backstory of what's gone into keeping their restaurant going, going, why the customers come back. I talked to customers that have been eating there their entire lives. And then you have the realization that you're taking a bite out of American history when you're eating this. And then the other restaurant that I do on everything on the menu. Think about how many times you've gone out to eat and you're sitting down, you're seeing people's food come out. You're like, man, that looks good. Yeah, whatever they're having, that looks good. Well, that looks good. Now you're looking at the menu like, man, everything looks good on here. And I can't make up my mind what I want to eat. Well, neither can I. So everything on the menu, man.

[Mike]

So, so what is, what is a typical meal for Braun? Like, how many calories are you in taking at these restaurants in a sit down?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Oh, man.

[Stugats]

So they've been doing some calorie counting and stuff like that. It's a lot of preparation that goes into this because I don't eat like this on a day to day basis. I mean, I would love to, but I wouldn't look like I look. So, you know, there's a lot of prep that goes into filming an episode of this with, you know, I do like fasting beforehand. I'll do an hour of cardio in the morning before I go to E eat, and then I'll do the big pig out on everything on the menu. And then I won't eat again for 24 to 36 hours again after that. And then I make myself before I break my fast, I'd make sure I work out, I do cardio, and then I earn that meal again. So everything just doesn't go to my love handles. I still got to take my shirt off on TV eventually. I got a bunch of cool stuff coming down the pipeline in 2026, more big screen stuff that we'll talk about when I'm allowed to talk about it and things like that. So trying to stay in shape while getting out here doing this and it was absolutely, it was so much fun because like I said, I've always been a big food guy. I mean, I don't get 350 pounds by accident, you know. And for me, with working with WWE and the blessings that came along with that, getting to travel around the world and try literally pretty much every walk of life cuisine that you could think of, really opened my eyes to how much I like trying new things and experiencing things. And one of my favorite things to do now is taking people out to eat and getting them to step outside of their normal comfort zone. And Trying new foods. And that's kind of the premise behind everything on the menu. It's, it's, it's the ultimate cheat meal show for the, the bodybuilders and the people that are dieting and doing stuff out there when you need a relief. It's the show for people that, you know, can't make up their mind when they want to go out to eat or people that are afraid to try new things. And, you know, I'm not this overly educated human when it comes to the culinary space. I learned food by trying it and traveling and, you know, doing all this stuff. And when I watch these food shows that are out there that I love and all these chefs and stuff that are amazing, what they do, there's times when I get like, I don't know what you're talking about. So for me, I like to think this is a blue collar approach to not necessarily fine dining, because it wasn't all about fine dining. It was from greasy spoon mom and pop kitchens to soul food, to roast beef sandwich shops, to three star Michelin restaurants and everything else in between. But for me, everybody has taken a bite of something in their life and it makes you close your eyes and just go. So there's a lot of grunt and there's a lot of groaning and, you know, explaining it in kind of like, I don't know, layman's terms or whatever. I like to think that I'm just, you know, I'm larger than nature intended. I'm a redneck that's had so many amazing jobs and, you know, now it's my opportunity to do more stuff that I love, which is putting smiles on people's faces. Man. At the end of the day, food is an opportunity to bring people together for a conversation, to sit down, to catch up, to kindle new relationships, to fall in love, to talk about life. And that's what it's all about about. And a lot of that shines through on everything with, on the menu, with my interactions with the customers, the owners, the chefs, getting back in the kitchen, getting my hands dirty, and, you know, breaking the proverbial stereotypes. When you see human beings like me and you think, oh, this guy's just fee five, well, don't get me wrong, I fee five fo fong my way through life for a good while, it was pretty damn good at it. But now having this opportunity to be a little more articulate, getting out here, breaking these stereotypes, showing that I'm compassionate, caring, and I have one hell of a educated palette at Least what these chefs have been telling me. And, you know, James Beard award winning Michelin certified chefs, I'll take their opinions.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Yeah.

[Chris Farley]

Ron, what's been one thing. What's been one thing on the menu that you've confronted that's been the biggest challenge to eat something that you really never, ever would have ordered and didn't particularly like?

[Stugats]

I don't know about never ordered. I mean, one of the things, crazy things. We shot the pilot episode to get all this stuff going at a place in Kiwaska, Wisconsin, called Great Outdoor Supper Club, and they had a 96 ounce prime rib. Rib on the menu to the great outdoors with John Candy and stuff like that. So it was pretty funny in that you like, literally picking up like a loaf of bread and just start taking bites out of it. For me, it was. It's a lot of experience and new things. Edison Food Laboratory and Kitchen in Tampa changed my whole perspective on lamb and peas. Like, I've hated lamb and I hate peas my entire life, but whatever they did with that braised lamb shank and they pureed the peas and put it completely changed my mind. And same thing with so many things. Like, I think back in my childhood that I hated that my parents used to force me to eat, and I'm like, ugh. And now, like, as you know, you mature and your palate changes. Or maybe the fact, like, my parents make steamed Brussels sprouts and I hated them, and now all the brussels sprouts are, like, deep fried with bacon and stuff in it like that. So maybe, maybe that's what it is.

[Mike]

The show is everything on the menu. It airs Fridays, 10 Eastern on USA Network. He's Braun Strowman, former WWE superstar. Braun, you're recognized everywhere you go. I mean, you're too big. All right, so people recognize you everywhere.

[Dan Le Batard]

Do.

[Mike]

Are you open to people coming up to you wherever you are? Is there a time where you don't, like, fans bothering you? What's that like?

[Stugats]

I mean, for the most part, it's always a blessing. There's times where it can be a little taxing, like hanging around a baggage claim at the airports and stuff like that. Or mid, like, eating, like, I'm literally rifling food down my gullet and get tapped on the shoulder. While, like, I appreciate it, there's a time and a place for everything. Like, at the end of the day, we're still all human beings, but, you know, the day that stuff like that stops happening is the day that I need to worry that people are forgetting about it. So while at times it could be like, you can see me be a little ugh in the back of my mind, I still am appreciative of it. Even though, like, I get grumpy because there's only so many minutes in a day. And I try to be as welcoming as I can, but there's times when I'm in a damn hurry and sorry, get out of my way.

[Dan Le Batard]

Bron. Our resident monster among men, Chris Cody, is doing a food challenge tomorrow. He has to eat 99 chicken nuggets. Now you gave some tips. Do some cardio, fast a little bit. I don't think that's in my boy's locker. Any other tips for tomorrow's big day?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

But you gotta give him the time span. He's got to do it in basically a little over three hours.

[Greg Cody]

Should I get stoned?

[Stugats]

Yeah, it probably would help at least. Allegedly. That's what I've heard. I don't know. So for me, I've never been like this, like challenge, like try to be competitively eating. I just eat a lot naturally. I mean, I've eaten like 90 something chicken wings in a sitting before and things like that. The only thing I can think of is like maybe drink a bunch of water and try to stretch your stomach out beforehand or get really stoned. I don't know.

[Greg Cody]

What about sauce people? Like, I shouldn't go sauce, right? If I'm trying to eat a bunch of them soft.

[Stugats]

You always think like, think about like Joey Chestnut and these guys and gals that wolf down 100 hot dogs in whatever 12 minutes they're dipping it in water. You need lubrication. You can't just drive, you know, water through life.

[Greg Cody]

So dip it in water. I should dip the chicken nuggets in water.

[Stugats]

I don't know. I feel like ranch has a little bit more lubricity. Is that a word? I think lubrication.

[Ron]

I'll allow it.

[Dan Le Batard]

Lubricity. Let's ask you one wrestling related question because we were talking about. Look, Wrestling aggregate sites have been making a lot of attendance dipping in the wwe. You were around the product. You've seen highs and lows around the time of your departure. It was towards this tail end of a red hot resurgence. Having been having parted ways with wwe. We know you can get a call at any moment, so we don't want to put you in a bad spot. But TKO has kind of moved away from going to these smaller markets, places that WWE would reportedly take a loss because Vince McMahon thought it was important to be running shows I'm not trying.

[Mike]

To go to Saudi Braun and you.

[Dan Le Batard]

Got these big ticket prices and it's starting to catch up with the product. Do you think TKO is making a misstep here?

[Stugats]

I mean, I'm not sure. I mean, all that stuff is so over my pay grade when I was with there. While for me as a talent business to the side, I think all these little house shows and little shows that they don't do anymore is hurting the talent because the talent doesn't have an opportunity to go out and really refine their craft and find their niche and how to connect with the audience. And when you're literally just plugging away every day at the performance center and you're being told what to do while they have great coaches that, you know, set you up for everything, it don't work like that. This is live like, and so many people, and I think that's why they rely on so many of the older talents still and call guys back and stuff just because people haven't polished their, their, their skills, I guess enough by doing these smaller strokes. That's how I learned how to do it all. I've had four wrestling matches in my life when I debuted on tv. And the reason I picked it up and got so good at it so fast was because the dancing partners that I had with doing all these little ho dunk towns is what I like to call them, is where I learned how to do this. I wrestled Kane every night for like a year on all these house shows and stuff like that. And it was. That's where I getting my reps. That's what I learned what worked. That's where I learned what didn't work. And as far as, like, the business side of things, I get it. You got to make money. I mean, I'm sure they still owe a ton of money on this, you know, loan or whatever it took to, to purchase the company and stuff like that. So, I mean, I can't even imagine what's going on in, you know, the minds of that side of the tracks. But like I said, that was so far out of sight of mind for me. All I cared about was, you know, give me the script. I'm gonna go out there, do the best I can with it, and I'll see you next week.

[Mike]

Braun, do you have a, a great or memorable personal or travel story on the road with John Cena?

[Stugats]

I. I never could see John. He did a question that was a.

[Ron]

Sucker question by you say it.

[Mike]

Yo, don't ever call me a sucker.

[Ron]

That was a sucker. Question by.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're so sucker.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Braun, what's the best food town you've been to on the road? So not for the show, but when you were wrestling, the town that you look forward to, like, oh, we eat good here.

[Stugats]

I always have a great time. Over in the Boston area, there's Cal Loons up there. That's been a huge focal point in the wrestlers going and eating it. You know, the. The excitement of getting to eat at Roberta Steakhouse when we're in Japan, the nostalgia behind that. I mean, for me, it's always exciting because every city has a different walk of life and culture when it comes to food and then, you know, getting to get in there and eat. As I said, look at it, it's. It's everywhere. I said, when we go to New York, Buffalo, I'm looking forward to chicken wings when I'm on the west coast at sushi and Hawaiian barbecue and stuff like that. And everywhere else between Texas brisket, North Carolina hog barbecue, Florida, all the dang seafood and just. I just look forward to it. And I mean, at the end of the day, well, that's life. Life's about experiences. It ain't about what you got when you're laying in bed dying. All you're gonna have is your experiences. And damn it, I'm gonna have as many of them as I can.

[Mike]

Braun, what do you miss about wrestling, if anything?

[Stugats]

I miss being in the ring and being in the locker room with the boys. The rest of it. I need a break. Don LeBatard is there.

[Chris Farley]

Back in My Day, there is actually.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's a Tuesday.

[Stugats]

Stugats. Here's your guy, Greg Cody with Back in My Day.

[Chris Farley]

Okay, here it is. Sorry, adultery.

[Dan Le Batard]

Waiting for this one.

[Stugats]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats.

[Mike]

Like, can you give. I always, like, whenever I talk to pro wrestlers, I like asking about what. Now, I know the travel schedule's a little different these days for the active wrestlers, but, like, 10 years ago, when you first started in WWE, can you describe what the travel schedule was like?

[Stugats]

Oh, my God. When I first got called to the main roster. One, yeah. Not knowing the difference between a headlock and the hole in my ass. You get thrown in the middle, can't even see in it. Getting the proverbial, you know, kick in the butt and getting out there and learning along the way. The boss Vince at the time said, look, I know you don't know much about this, but we're going to figure it out. I see something in you he believed in me, gave me an opportunity, you know, and was awesome. I mean, it was such a. Like, probably some of the most fun was those early days of learning this and being terrified, you know, going out there. I mean, the 11th or 12th wrestling match I ever had was me and rested soul. Brody Lee versus the Brothers of Destruction in Merit in Mexico in front of 12,000 people. And Kane and Undertaker rifted, refused to speak to me all day. They said, we'll see out there, kid. So that mortifying on that. And then, you know, being on the road, we would fly out Friday morning, do a house show, drive up to 300 miles. Saturday, do a house show, drive up to 300 miles. Sunday, either a pay per view or a house show, drive another up to 300 miles. Monday night raw, another 300 miles smackdown. Get home one or two o' clock on Wednesday, have Thursday, aisle back out again Friday. I did that for four and a half, three or four and a half years straight. And while it was amazing, it also was very, you know, taxing. You miss out on a lot of stuff. And that's what I'm, you know, kind of trying to catch up on right now, is the, the things in life that I didn't have opportunities for, for being on the road, you know, for a decade, working so hard. And then the big thing for me now is with this show and stuff like that, this is the first time in my life I've ever had a massive platform where I get to be Adam. Share. It's unscripted. It is me ad libbing everything. I wrote this show, I helped produce this show with my agent and a close friend of mine, Kevin, that did all this. We did the pilot episode, we got it all out. And for me to have a chance to be Adam Scher, because the whole world knows who Braun Strowman is. They've seen Braun. They know what he's capable. But he played a character on a show. This is the first time that I get to be me. And I keep telling everybody, watch this show. And if you don't believe me when I say this, if WWE would have ever just let me be Adam share, I would have ruled the world.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Wow. Wow.

[Chris Coates]

Important update. Lubricity. Noun, plural, lubricities. The property or state of being lubricious. Also, the capacity for reducing.

[Stugats]

My guy.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes, sir.

[Mike]

Look at that big brain on Braun.

[Stugats]

Smarter than the average bear.

[Chris Farley]

Just a little less hairy and bigger.

[Mike]

Oh, Braun, what's the most scared you've been in a WWE ring? And why was it when Brock Lesnar punched you in the face.

[Stugats]

It definitely wasn't that you ate a shot.

[Ron]

Another sucker question.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Yeah, don't ever.

[Stugats]

We tried to kill each other in that match. Then we both had a realization like, oh, this is a work, brother. You want to just work. Poor Kane sitting in the corner going, yeah, I'm not getting in between those two bulls. They can have at it. So great, great learning experience and what awesome tv, right? For me, scariest moment. It didn't actually happen during a match or any other match. It was after a match. It was when Bray Wyatt and I did the Swamp Fight together. We filmed for 36 hours straight in Florida heat and humidity with that. And when I got home, was taking a shower. I collapsed in my shower. Full body cramps. Had to have EMS haul my big ass out of my house. It took six people to get me down the stairs on the gurney to get me out. Double line plumbed up 4 liters of saline. So basically a gallon of fluid put back into my body to get me to stop cramping. All kinds of my electrolytes and all this other stuff. And was at Monday Night Raw the.

[Mike]

Next day, right, Bron?

[Dan Le Batard]

I just saw the.

[Ron]

I just saw the 1, 2 combo you got from. From Brock Lesnar. Damn, buddy, you're a horse.

[Stugats]

I think I'm the only human being that's ever gotten hit by Brock like that and didn't go to the. To the Nether Realm.

[Ron]

You ate that shit and you were like, what's up? I'm still back here.

[Dan Le Batard]

Everything on the menu. The two piece and the biscuit, bro, I'm curious.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

I'm a huge Star wars fan, so it always fascinates me when I find out famous people are also Star wars fans. I would imagine it's the same thing with wrestling. You find out that, like, oh, this guy loves wrestling. So who's the most famous person that surprised you is a huge fan of yours and of wwe?

[Stugats]

George W. Bush.

[Ron]

Wow.

[Mike]

It's a good one.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

How'd you find out?

[Stugats]

I've been very blessed. I've formed pretty kindled a pretty good relationship with him. I was up at their family estate earlier this year playing in their big charity golf tournament, stuff like that. It was really cool. Got to cook for the President. Former President of the United States, grilling out lobsters and stuff in Maine and getting out there having fun. I hadn't played golf in like 20 years, so, like, I did like three cool things. There was one hole, it was a hundred dollar buy in, it was a par three hole and it you got to use one of HW's old woods. And if you got it on the green, you got a George H.W. like gold token medallion. And I weren't burned one. Skipped it across the pond and put it 20ft from the pen and got me a little gold coin.

[Mike]

Braun, when I hear that your father is like the Babe Ruth of softball, right? What does that mean?

[Stugats]

So he's, he's in four or five hall of Fames for slow pitch softball. He's the player of the decade for the 80s and USSSA ball. He holds single season home run records. He hit 491 home runs in 192 games with a lifetime batting average of.685 he was with. I didn't say I even say that like this. Funny, that's sitting right next to me here. So this is the old Louisville Slugger poster blasting his own pops right there. The apple hit every branch on the way out of the tree, but just a big burly man, like it was really cool because he was with Easton and stuff like that. So I got to meet John Elway when I was a kid. I got like autograph football. So it was really cool because like. But when my dad was playing so slow bridge softballs, when baseball was really struggling, they would send him around to all these baseball stadiums and have him put on hitting demonstrations in between the double headers of the games. And my dad got really close with Pete Rose while doing all that because Pete had seen him do it before. And all the guys were going back into the dugout in the locker room and stuff like that. And Pete was like, no, no, no, y' all need to stay out here and watch this. And they're like, this dude's not going to hit softballs out of here. Because I can't remember what field was, but they had a temporary fence up at the time because the base even hitting balls out. My dad hit 12 out of 15 pitches in the upper deck of the stadium. He's one of the only humans to ever hit a ball in the upper deck of the Astrodome. He hit balls on the roofs of the apartments on the other side of Waverly Avenue at Wrigley Stadium or Wrigley Field. So yeah, I always wanted to play softball and I did play softball for a while, but you know, I was never getting out of that shadow. So in my mind I was like, I gotta go out and cast my. And boy, I think this back sure has put a decent one on the planet.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

You got to Give Bronnie that same advice. Get out of your dad's shadow. Try something different.

[Ron]

It's not 68380, though.

[Dan Le Batard]

Bronnie James, not a pet nickname that you have for Braun Strowman.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

I can see where that might have confused him. Again, the show is called Everything on the Menu. It airs Fridays at 10 Eastern on USA Network. Braun Strowman, thanks for joining us, man.

[Mike]

Thanks, Braum.

[Stugats]

Thank y' all so much for the time. Great chat, fellas.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Yes, sir. That was fun, man.

[Chris Coates]

I want to be best friends with.

[Ron]

What do you think? That was amazing.

[Stugats]

I want to go.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

You know what I want? I want to go out to a restaurant with them. Because one of those people. I've always dreamt of being the guys at everything on the menu, and then I taste it and, like, take it all away.

[Chris Coates]

It's a dream.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

But like that. If to have the opportunity to do that, like, on a weekly basis.

[Chris Coates]

Get him down to Miami.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Oh, that's what we should ask, dude.

[Ron]

I'll take them down to the Cuban spots. You'll have 8,000 people sitting if you.

[Greg Cody]

Guys want to talk to him.

[Stugats]

Ron, Ron, you there?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

He's there listening. All right, so first of all, let me ask you, you. Have you done anything in Miami yet?

[Stugats]

Not Miami. We did Orlando and Tampa for Florida in season one. I heard you talking about Cuban sandwiches. I went to the Mecca of Cuban sandwiches.

[Ron]

No, buddy, no, no, no.

[Stugats]

They do it wrong.

[Chris Coates]

They do it wrong up there.

[Dan Le Batard]

Disrespectfully disagree.

[Ron]

Okay?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

I like you.

[Stugats]

I like you, Bron. Number one.

[Ron]

It's Miami, buddy. We could come. Come down. We'll take care of you.

[Stugats]

Let's go. I'll actually be down Jupiter area, probably in December and stuff or some business. So let's see if we can also. I didn't. I gotta get you guys some of my tequila. So this is my retirement project, Cantiliza Reposado Tequila, that I've been working on with a close friend of mine here in Florida and stuff like that. So if you guys like tequila and you want to show me around Miami and change my opinion on Cuban sandwiches, we'll throw a couple back and go munch some sammies down.

[Dan Le Batard]

You can drink your tequila. We'll drink our very favorite corporate partner sponsored tequila, and we'll just have a nice big party. We got our own tequila. It's a tequila, that Tequila.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Thanks, Braun. Oh, man. All right. He said December, right? So it was just.

[Ron]

So we're done. All right, we'll set it all up.

[Mike]

Bring Them down here. Bring him studio.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Get him on the Bright Line.

[Stugats]

Let's.

[Mike]

I took the Bright Line tape for the first time. Not bad, not bad.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Did you get a little. Did you get a little. A little morning pop there?

[Dan Le Batard]

No, man.

[Mike]

Like what? You think I'm alcoholic?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

How about on the way back? You got like, maybe. Yeah, maybe.

[Mike]

Maybe.

[Ron]

Dribble for the sucker questions. You have bronze.

[Mike]

Oh, my God.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

What's going on there? I thought you were a wrestling guy.

[Mike]

What do you mean? What was a sucker question?

[Dan Le Batard]

Like a John Cena memory. And you played yourself right into a you can't see me joke.

[Stugats]

Yeah, I didn't understand.

[Greg Cody]

Hey, bro, what's it like to be famous?

[Dan Le Batard]

It's like, you remember when you were in the Beatles, he. Chris Farley did. Man.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

I never thought I'd see the day. Jonathan Zaslow, sucker.

[Stugats]

Wow.

[Mike]

Yo, I'm gonna tell you something right now. Y' all can go fuck yourself.

[Dan Le Batard]

Whoa. Aggressive. I think for the first time in your life, you may have to identify the time you were a sucker.

[Chris Farley]

He's eating it. He knows it, just won't admit it.

[Mike]

Some bullshit.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Drinking it with some soda, too.

[Dan Le Batard]

He was involved in a Wrestlemania program. But you weren't getting that answer because.

[Mike]

Got a lot of balls trying to make me look stupid with a wrestler on.

[Ron]

Dad, you did it yourself.

[Mike]

It's my wheelhouse, dad.

[Greg Cody]

You ever been in Sucker?

[Chris Farley]

All the time.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

All the time.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why?

[Chris Farley]

In front of me?

[Stugats]

Okay.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, okay.

[Chris Farley]

What'd you think?

[Greg Cody]

Kick saving a beat.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

One of my favorite things, let me just say. I know it's not post game yet, but I'm gonna do something. Because sitting in this chair, I get a different perspective on the shipping container. Every time Greg starts to ask a question, Chris gets this look on his face like. Like the hell are you trying to say? Like, he just cocked.

[Greg Cody]

I don't do that.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

To me, you absolutely do. You kind of squint and you stare at your dad like, what the hell are you saying?

[Chris Farley]

Right.

[Greg Cody]

Sometimes I just want to make sure, like, where are we going with this?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

It does. Yeah. There is, like, a concern of literally, where is this going?

[Dan Le Batard (show intro)]

Right?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

But also sometimes it's like when you ask Diana Rossini about the Dolphins, like.

[Greg Cody]

The fourth dolphin squad.

[Dan Le Batard]

I did.

[Greg Cody]

We had asked him, like, we asked her six questions, and my dad's like, one more.

[Chris Farley]

Well, she hadn't been asked, but I wanted to ask. But at least you're better than Levitard, who always rephrases.

[Greg Cody]

I believe. Just said, I believe. That was a two part follow up too.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Oh, yeah.

[Stugats]

I got two questions.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Dan would have lost his mind.

[Greg Cody]

Why do we do that to guests?

[Stugats]

Ask him one question, two part question. Can I ask you two questions?

[Greg Cody]

Number one, Chris, they teach you.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

They teach you not to ask two part questions.

[Chris Farley]

That's what they didn't teach me that. Different book. I write the rules on asking questions. Nobody teaches me that.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

This isn't a journalism thing. I was. That's when I got to espn, they told me, hey, by the way, never ask a two part.

[Greg Cody]

You never get two good answers.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

That's what they said.

[Greg Cody]

That would be the argument, right?

[Chris Farley]

No, it's. It's not a good argument though.

[Stugats]

Okay.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

It's not a good argument.

[Chris Farley]

Never ask a yes or no question.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

That. That one too. Open ended questions. Yeah. Where's the best place? Not is this the best place? Right.

[Chris Farley]

Yeah, exactly.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Yeah. Okay, what else. What are the other rules?

[Chris Farley]

There aren't that many rules. Well, there are no bad questions, only bad answers.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Yeah, but some questions breed bad answers.

[Chris Farley]

That's true.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

And so the two part question, the argument is right. If you give a two part question, you're gonna get a bad answer to one of them.

[Chris Farley]

Well, the question I always hate hearing from other reporters is when you ask a question that isn't really a question, when someone has just had a great game and you go, great game today, what's the question?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

What's the worst question you've ever heard?

[Chris Farley]

Ever heard? Oh, man. There used to be a radio guy.

[Stugats]

New and unimproved Dan Levitar show with.

[Dan Le Batard (show intro)]

The Stugach gamble owned by DraftKings.

[Dan Le Batard]

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo, what are you doing here? Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true. But even during Anne reads like Cuervo, I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners, sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.

[Stugats]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo, the tequila that invented tequila. Cuervo.com, please drink responsibly.

[Stugats]

Cuervo.
