[Greg Cody]

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?

[Billy Gill]

Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

[Greg Cody]

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.

[Billy Gill]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

[Greg Cody]

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.

[Billy Gill]

Cuervo.

[Greg Cody]

So enjoy the tequila that started it all.

[Billy Gill]

Cuervo.

[Greg Cody]

Cuervo, the tequila that invented tequila. Proximo. Cuervo.com, please drink responsibly.

[Billy Gill]

Cuervo. This is the Dan Levatar show with.

[Mike Ryan]

The Stu Guts podcast.

[Chris Cote]

Dad, this is very exciting. I've been wanting to get to this all show. Dan's still ashamed of that last segment, so he's not back yet.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, should be.

[Chris Cote]

Um, you had on your list of topics today, top five teams you're watching in the tournament. Like, it's not your top five teams, but just teams you're interested in watching. Explain this process.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, I'll. I'll be interested in watching five particular teams for a certain reason. I'm going to let you guys figure out what the running theme of this list is.

[Chris Cote]

Are they like number five? We can do like a countdown. All right, let's go.

[Mike Ryan]

All right, number five from the first four play in round they played tonight, American University, led by third leading scorer Greg Jones.

[Chris Cote]

I see where we're going with this.

[Greg Cody]

Come on. Them too.

[Mike Ryan]

Number four, the Patriots, number three seed in the East, Wisconsin, coached by the incomparable Greg Guard.

[Greg Cody]

Swing seed, won by a lot.

[Mike Ryan]

Number three, nine seed in the South, Creighton, coached by Greg McDermott.

[Greg Cody]

How they divvy up those electoral votes.

[Chris Cote]

Kind of one note this bit, but.

[Mike Ryan]

All right, number two, eight seed in the Midwest, Gonzaga, led by sixth leading scorer Ben Greg.

[Chris Cote]

Reaching for that one.

[Mike Ryan]

And number One ten seed in the south region, the New Mexico Lobos. Cause Bo's back bows.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, coached by Richard Pitino.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, how about that?

[Greg Cody]

He reshaped his career after losing his job over in Minnesota.

[Mike Ryan]

How about that?

[Greg Cody]

Lobos are back.

[Mike Ryan]

Lobos are back. Really good.

[Greg Cody]

Jack.

[Mike Ryan]

Jack. Didn't we have somebody from the Lobos on our podcast, though?

[Greg Cody]

No, the one that you and I do. I'm not exactly sure. So many podcasts these days.

[Mike Ryan]

Like the mayor. I think the mayor of the town or something was on our podcast bragging about the Lobos. I don't know. Move on.

[Greg]

Greg, how much of the NCAA tournament are you actually going to watch?

[Mike Ryan]

I'm going to be very honest with you. I start paying real attention when it gets to the sweet 16. Like. Like, I want the wheat separate the chat.

[Chris Cote]

So you don't like the weekend that everybody likes. Right, because this is the one.

[Greg]

Thursday. Friday's hit, baby.

[Chris Cote]

I mean, this is the one where you just get games, games, games, games, games, games.

[Mike Ryan]

I know.

[Chris Cote]

I slow down after the first weekend.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't need that many games, you know, And I think Cinderella is a fallacy in the NCAA. Like. Like the. The 16 beating the one has happened, what, three times in history. Like. Like, I don't rely on that. I want good teams, survivors. You know, when it gets under the sweet 16, certainly the elite eight, that's when I really start dialing in.

[Greg]

It just. I love when there's so many games that you're trying to figure out. Do I have true tv? I don't know. Where is it? It's like, oh, it's channel 374. It's like, I didn't even know that. What's on there?

[Greg Cody]

Time honored tradition of seeing impractical jokers edited every break.

[Chris Cote]

Literally. I woke up on my couch at 2am this morning because I had fallen asleep. Attaboy. And Practical Jokers on. It was great.

[Mike Ryan]

What. What show's that?

[Chris Cote]

You don't.

[Greg]

It's these four guys.

[Greg Cody]

Well, not three guys. He'll find out soon enough.

[Greg]

Okay, well, no, because they're not gonna be on true TV by the time he starts.

[Greg Cody]

It's amazing that he doesn't know about it just because of, like, once a year we all get inundated with impractical joker's ads.

[Jessica]

But he's just watching the women's tournament. That one's on mostly.

[Mike Ryan]

I'll tell you what. And I'm not alone. And it wasn't just Caitlin Clark either, or Angel Reese. But last year was the first year that I personally was as interested or more interested in the women's NCAA's than the men's, I just found it more compelling. The storylines were better. And this year I was thinking it would fall off the table because Caitlin was gone. This year, I think the moment. Jessica, what do you think? I think the momentum of the women's game has sustained. I think it's as good as last year.

[Jessica]

I'm not a father, but I can attest to that. I, I read that ESPN women's basketball ratings were up this season, so still climbing, which is something that I said last year when everyone's like, oh, after Caitlin Clark goes to wnba, no one's going to watch anymore, blah, blah, blah. No, it's still interesting. I think this year is going to be great because there's a lot of teams that could win and there's a lot of stars. Look. Juju Watkins. Yes. Is a star. Paige Beckers is a star. Hannah Hidalgo, Olivia Miles or stars. Lauren Bets. Like, there's a ton of household names in women's basketball.

[Mike Ryan]

Cameron Brink, from where I'm standing, she's in the wm.

[Jessica]

She's also a star.

[Chris Cote]

Good try. Appreciate.

[Greg]

She's on the comeback tour now.

[Mike Ryan]

Former college.

[Chris Cote]

That was a good try by you, though.

[Jessica]

It was, it was. You know what? No. Bad.

[Greg]

To be honest, though, I don't think he can name a current male NCAA player. Right.

[Jessica]

He's right. I, I, that's why I'm not.

[Chris Cote]

He knows one Duke player.

[Mike Ryan]

The story of, the story of the tournament is super flag.

[Greg]

Attaboy.

[Mike Ryan]

Will he play in the opener? Should they hold him out until the round of 16? How are they going to handle that?

[Greg Cody]

I think women's college basketball is easier to follow. I think they do a better job of marketing their stars. And also there's fewer teams that have a legit chance to win the championship. And they're actually, I think, fairly covered well in the sport. It's unavoidable, if you follow sports, to know exactly what South Carolina is doing, what juju Watkins is doing, what, what the top upper echelon of stars are doing in that sport. Whereas college basketball feels a little bit more random. You know, the Cooper flags of the world, but the teams that have a real chance, it's, it's, you know, there's, there's just more of them. So I, for that reason, I can kind of tangentially follow women's college basketball much easier than I can follow the men's game.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. And I think the rise in the women's game has been just magnificent in the last few years. I can only speak for myself. There was a time when it was all about the men's tournament for me. I barely paid any attention to the women's tournament. Now I think them as comparable competitions, every bit as good as. As each other. So it's go women. It's been great, Greg.

[Greg]

So you're going to not be watching tomorrow. I actually love that. You know why. Don't look now. We got. Oh, sorry. I shouldn't have said that. I shouldn't have said that.

[Mike Ryan]

What happened?

[Stugotz]

It's time for a new game. Don't look now.

[Chris Cote]

This is where you close your eyes, dad.

[Greg]

Yeah, Greg. Yeah. Don't look.

[Chris Cote]

Love how you had to put down your coffee to not look. You could just close your eyes. You don't have to cover your face like that.

[Greg]

Can't hear you.

[Jessica]

What are we not looking at right now?

[Greg]

All right, so. So we've got a lot of watching to do, a lot of looking to do in the next couple of days. We got the NCAA tournament, we got hoops, we got a bunch of different things, right? But I'm telling you, don't look now. Nicole Hardman is a Packer.

[Chris Cote]

Wow.

[Greg]

Anybody interested?

[Mike Ryan]

Who knew?

[Jessica]

What do we think that means?

[Chris Cote]

That was a guy when he was on a Chiefs. When he's on the Chiefs, I was.

[Greg]

Like, we thought he was the next Tyree Something.

[Chris Cote]

He could be something.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Greg]

Don't look now.

[Chris Cote]

Your eyes are open.

[Greg]

Craig, the whole thing is. Don't look.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Greg]

Okay, good. Thank you.

[Billy Gill]

I have not been able to shake that last segment off of me.

[Mike Ryan]

Welcome back, though.

[Jessica]

Were you hiding in the bathroom?

[Billy Gill]

I was ashamed. I was sinking into my own shame.

[Greg]

Well, Dan, don't look now, but after re signing T. Higgins and Jamar Chase, Joe Burrow said, we've got the right guys.

[Mike Ryan]

Wow. What a comment.

[Dan Le Batard]

What else is he gonna say?

[Mike Ryan]

Great quote.

[Dan Le Batard]

What else is he gonna say? Is it a great quote?

[Billy Gill]

Is it a great quote?

[Mike Ryan]

Very succinct.

[Chris Cote]

Dad. If your eyes are clearly open but just being blocked by a piece of paper, that's looking.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm not. I'm looking at a piece of paper.

[Jessica]

Not looking. Chris, this is very. It's giving me Miami Heat, the power of friendship vibes.

[Dan Le Batard]

Like.

[Jessica]

I'm not. I know you. You have the right guys on offense, but that wasn't the problem.

[Greg]

Yeah, exactly. Don't look now. BG Brandon Graham officially retires from the Eagle.

[Chris Cote]

Wow.

[Greg]

Fifteen years in the NFL.

[Billy Gill]

Why can't we look at that.

[Greg]

Be respectful.

[Billy Gill]

Wouldn't he want that? Look?

[Dan Le Batard]

Be respect.

[Chris Cote]

Dan's back. Dan. Shut your eyes.

[Greg]

Dan. Do not look. Be respectful.

[Jessica]

Mike Ryan is being forcibly restrained on the couch.

[Greg]

Who's looking at that?

[Jessica]

Not me.

[Greg]

Okay. Just making sure. Because you said that. I don't know how did you.

[Jessica]

He's not looking, which is the problem.

[Greg]

Okay.

[Jessica]

Oh, God. He's on the move.

[Greg]

Another one here, Dan. I think this one's really important. And the last one here. Don't look down. Patriots signed free agent center Grady Bradbury filling a major need on their offensive line.

[Billy Gill]

That's not worth looking at.

[Chris Cote]

Don't look now is presented by Smirnoff. The world's. The world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly.

[Greg]

That's what I said.

[Jessica]

But you weren't looking, so you. I think it's a. Grady.

[Greg]

Did I say Grady?

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't know.

[Jessica]

You weren't looking.

[Dan Le Batard]

I wasn't looking either.

[Billy Gill]

Guys, we got to do better than that. We've got to do better than we've done for the last 30 minutes.

[Chris Cote]

It's been a great hour.

[Jessica]

I thought you're gonna say, like, 12 years, but then you said 30 minutes.

[Mike Ryan]

I want a competing bit called looky here.

[Billy Gill]

Why 12 years? I don't know.

[Jessica]

I picked a random number out of my ass.

[Billy Gill]

Why would be 20 years?

[Jessica]

I figured 12's like when you started at ESPN, maybe. I don't know.

[Billy Gill]

I am feeling.

[Jessica]

I don't know the timeline.

[Chris Cote]

Lucky here is what you want to play.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Billy Gill]

Look at here. I can actually.

[Greg]

Don't hate it. Let's flush it out.

[Billy Gill]

You know what?

[Dan Le Batard]

Here.

[Billy Gill]

Let's have the clear spin off to. Don't look now. Looky here. A totally different game.

[Chris Cote]

Got to come up with topics, though, dad.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, well, that's off the top of my head. I got a storyboard in my own mind. But look here. I'm informing people about something that they.

[Jessica]

Mike, you can look now.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah, Mike. Mike. Yeah, you can look now. We're on to look you. It's totally different, Mike. Don't look. Don't look now. You got to wear a blindfold. Looky here. You're allowed to look, right, Greg?

[Greg]

Lookie here. Did you see Tua partying at the club?

[Mike Ryan]

I did not. Lookie here about partying. More winning.

[Billy Gill]

I can hear people screaming. No, it's not don't look now anymore. It's looky here. Now. It's looky here. You're allowed to. You're now allowed to look We've changed. We've got a spin off looky here year.

[Mike Ryan]

North Carolina is underrated and deserved to make the tournament. That. That would be.

[Billy Gill]

That's the slow report.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, that. That would have been my lookie here from yesterday.

[Billy Gill]

No, but that's had we debuted. Okay, but what if we were doing it right now? What if we were doing looky here right now. Can you come up with something that. See, this is this look. We are shaking at the end of a work week. That's. Look, it's not Wednesday.

[Greg]

I just got here.

[Billy Gill]

No, I wanna. I wanna paint this picture so that people understand.

[Jessica]

Wednesday, that feels like a Thursday because we were here Sunday.

[Billy Gill]

It's not even just that, though. The old war horse, Greg Cody, we've been riding this pack mule now for months, multiple times a week. When he gets to the end of the second work shift, he's been beaten down.

[Mike Ryan]

Correct.

[Billy Gill]

I know this.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Billy Gill]

And so slump shoulder. You're hurting here. And you're giving us the best that you've got.

[Mike Ryan]

Right.

[Billy Gill]

But it's. Why a couple of hours ago, it's you in the batter's box. It's a cleanup hitter. There's not a lot left in the tank at this point in the week for you.

[Mike Ryan]

Can Tank Oris see Not a lot left.

[Billy Gill]

He's going to give you the best of what he's got, but it's. There's not a lot left. But right now, based on the news of the day, can we get from the football take guy whatever it is that you want to do? Cam Ward's number one, Aaron Rodgers. The Vikings don't want him. You can give me a lookie here right now and debut the game yourself if you've still got anything in the tank.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay. All right. What do you want, like three, five?

[Billy Gill]

I just want looky here and whatever it is you want to do with lookie here to really sell this new game that you just invented. Don't look now. Has been replaced by lookie here, lookie here.

[Mike Ryan]

This is not a great NFL draft for quarterbacks. Cam Ward at number one, even he is not assured of being a big star.

[Chris Cote]

I'm looking at that looky here.

[Mike Ryan]

The way they're playing lately. Should the Miami Heat even want to make the playoffs? I say tank a little bit. Give me a mini tank. Finish 11th. Avoid the purgatory of the play in.

[Jessica]

Don't they have an unprotected pick? What is that?

[Billy Gill]

He hasn't considered that.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Greg]

Pick schmick again. That's a totally different conversation. We're not looking at that right now.

[Dan Le Batard]

What we're looking at is making sure.

[Greg]

That they don't make the playoffs to then figure out whatever's next. A couple years ago, they could have had Wembanyama, though.

[Mike Ryan]

Good point.

[Greg]

Thank you.

[Billy Gill]

Well, he's been making it for a long time. Tony, I think, debuted. I think that was the original lookie here for Tony, was it not that you were suggesting that that Heat playoff run against the Bucks, that it should have started with a tank for the.

[Mike Ryan]

T. Why is Mike haunting me?

[Greg]

He's looking. He's looking now he's looking.

[Jessica]

Those were so good him to looky here.

[Billy Gill]

You were look.

[Mike Ryan]

You gave.

[Billy Gill]

You gave him.

[Mike Ryan]

Mind my personal space.

[Billy Gill]

He's rattled and he's losing energy as this goes. Zaslow is going to be brought in. Look, it's not easy to replace the hall of Famer Stu. Guys, we try. What just happened there? What?

[Mike Ryan]

I turned it into an Eskimo.

[Billy Gill]

Did Mike Ryan.

[Chris Cote]

I don't know if we call it that anymore.

[Billy Gill]

Did Mike Ryan.

[Mike Ryan]

Why? You can't say Eskimo.

[Chris Cote]

Please stop.

[Mike Ryan]

There's a ice cream. There's an ice cream sandwich called the Eskimo Pie. What, are we going to change the name of that, too?

[Greg]

Hopefully not.

[Mike Ryan]

The Eskimo people are great people.

[Chris Cote]

All right, dad, just. You don't have to quadruple down. You've said enough.

[Mike Ryan]

They don't all live in igloos, by the way. I'm not making a stereotype.

[Greg Cody]

You're making it better.

[Mike Ryan]

Thank you, Dan.

[Greg]

To answer your question, yes, that was the original look.

[Billy Gill]

No, let's just sit in it. Let's just. Tone. Just back off.

[Greg]

Just trying to help.

[Billy Gill]

No, I. Thank you. Thank you.

[Greg]

It's on the ball, in the air.

[Billy Gill]

No, but this is what I'm. Look, this is a shingled roof.

[Mike Ryan]

Can't say Eskimo anymore.

[Greg Cody]

Stop saying it.

[Billy Gill]

All right? I have been falling apart for 45 straight minutes.

[Mike Ryan]

You really have.

[Billy Gill]

Okay, but wait a minute. You're not making anything better, and I just need you to shut up for a second, okay? I simply. What I need most from you right now is just silence.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, why don't you play Dan's terrible question again?

[Billy Gill]

What is the worst part of the life?

[Mike Ryan]

This guy's telling me to shut up.

[Billy Gill]

I didn't see it because it was out of the corner of my eye, but I'm pretty sure that Greg Cody just rubbed one of those giant nostrils across the face of Mike Ryan, who could not stay in character. Because of how it is it felt to have one of those giant nostrils graze him. Is that the photo?

[Mike Ryan]

I do have big nostrils. Equine.

[Billy Gill]

We've not taken a better picture than that. Please put that up behind me. Put it where that nostril. Look there. You can see Mike Ryan trying to stay in character.

[Greg]

But it looks photoshopped.

[Mike Ryan]

It does. It can't have really happened.

[Billy Gill]

That can't smell good to Mike and vice versa.

[Chris Cote]

We're back, Dan. Huh? Rough couple minutes, but we're back.

[Billy Gill]

Well, we do nothing better than sink into the incompetence. It's available so frequently. It's so available. Hold on, let me get my head out of the way so that.

[Chris Cote]

Yeah, there it is.

[Billy Gill]

They can put that on the tombstone of our show. And I'd be good with it because I'd be totally good. All of that Mike, the smells, the scents, where you're holding your breath like that. Greg Cody, that close to you is. That nostril. That close to you is substantive.

[Greg Cody]

It would take a lot to make me stand down. I'm not saying that I stood down.

[Jessica]

I no longer have the most awkward stutter of this segment. Dan, thank you. I was lost words earlier when Greg said that Cameron Brink was still at Stanford. And I tried to. I tried to let him slide. And I was like, it's fine.

[Billy Gill]

It's not been a good hour for Greg. It's been moving a little bit fast. I did want to ask you guys, because this one struck me yesterday is something that we didn't quite explore enough. Billy Gill and Greg Cody being a against the fun of the Savannah bananas, just against 65,000 people coming out to a football stadium and filling it. To see an invention that. An invention of creativity that has crashed the sports market and fills the stadium in a way that's lunacy for minor league sports. And Greg's against it. And it also represents, like, breaking through on just, hey, sports can be fun. And Greg's against it and Billy's against it. And I'm like, why would you be that aggressively against something just because it's popular and it's popular because people are just enjoying something that's kind of goofy and fun and silly.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. I'm against it as the unwarranted phenomenon it has become. You know, it's. It's. It's a clown show disguised as sports. It's not baseball. You know, it's family entertainment. I get it. I get it why kids want to see it. It's a circus. It's A carnival. That's all it is. I don't even put it in the category of sports. You know, I. Maybe if I were 8 years old, 10 years old, I would be enraptured with it. But as an adult, I'm going, really? People love that.

[Greg Cody]

It's rare to have an unwarranted phenomenon. In fact, I'm scanning my brain. I think the only unwarranted phenomenon was that one U2 album that showed up on everybody's phone.

[Mike Ryan]

Good point.

[Billy Gill]

But it just seems like such a strange thing to shake your fist at.

[Greg Cody]

In sports that you hate the Harlem Globetrotters, too.

[Billy Gill]

That's what he was saying. His point yesterday was that was, yes, that he also aggressively hates the Harlem Globetrotter.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, but. But the Harlem Globetrotters had their day. And I know they're still around. Technically, they still tour and everything.

[Chris Cote]

And now the bananas are.

[Mike Ryan]

But obviously they aren't what they used to be. I thought we as a society had outlived that kind of a clown show.

[Greg Cody]

That's all we did. And we pivoted to white guys.

[Dan Le Batard]

Our society so evolved.

[Greg Cody]

Now it's white guys in baseball.

[Chris Cote]

They went to a sport. Sport that needed it though, right? I mean, baseball is slow. So it's like, we can do something with this sport. Right? It's a lot of skill. But let's. Let's do, you know, bells and whistles. You love it. Like with.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Chris Cote]

Every episode you're like, can we get a few bills?

[Billy Gill]

It's all made better by a guy on stilts.

[Chris Cote]

How's he running?

[Dan Le Batard]

How's he turning?

[Billy Gill]

Second guy on. Put it on the poll at Levitage show guy on stilts make everything better. Greg Cody's still mad at Billy Corbin and said that coward jackass didn't show up.

[Chris Cote]

It's true.

[Billy Gill]

Eliza Schlesinger is next.

[Jessica]

The Iceman.

[Billy Gill]

Comfortable talking about how you met your wife, how much you love her, how important she is to you, and that's the reason that I asked the question. I've always admired that about you, that you are, you have no problems whatsoever professing your love.

[Stugotz]

Well, the thing is, I have a new wife now. You know, me and Bianca didn't make it. So I moved on. We moved on. It was for the better. Both of us stugats.

[Mike Ryan]

Things just got a little awkward there.

[Billy Gill]

So let me be the first on this show to congratulate you on the new wife. Vince, congratulations on, on feeling whole. Feeling complete, you know, let's talk tailgating.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, don't be, don't, don't feel awkward, buddy. You know, I don't.

[Billy Gill]

It's much too late for that. I appreciate you soothing me in this regard, but I already feel terribly awkward. And then my teammate comes to my defense with not a question, but just a healthy congratulations and the further pointing out of that awkwardness because he's always good for me in those spots. I'm also thinking of divorce, Vince, after Many, many years, 18 years with a partner who does things like that to you.

[Stugotz]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugach.

[Billy Gill]

Hello, Eliza. It's nice to see you again.

[Dan Le Batard]

Nice to see you again, Dan.

[Billy Gill]

She was on South Beach Sessions, if you have not seen her. And she's got a new special out, A Different Animal. It's currently streaming on Amazon Prime. She's on Tour now with US and international dates through the end of 2025. And she's got shows in Florida all of next weekend. March 28th at Hard Rock in Hollywood, March 29th at Hard Rock Orlando, and March 30th Hard Rock in, in Tampa. You can find dates and [e-mail] Eliza Schlesinger with us. Thank you for joining us. You could catch her on South Beach Sessions. We had a long form conversation. How's the tour going?

[Dan Le Batard]

Tour is going great. It's wrapping up after Florida. Those are our last US dates. And then the new tour kicks off in the fall randomly in Estonia. But I don't expect your listeners to make it out to that show. So the tour is going great. I appreciate being on here. This ring light is working overtime for this interview with me.

[Billy Gill]

How, how, how do you feel about touring? It takes you away from the family sometimes. You can bring the family with you, obviously. But how do you feel about it?

[Dan Le Batard]

You know, it's, this is my job. And so it changes when you become a parent. I decided as a treat slash punishment, my daughter gets to come with me to Florida. This time I lured her there by telling her there's going to be a lot of fruit and tropical fruit in the green room. So a little baby has never been more excited to be at a casino.

[Billy Gill]

Last time that I spoke to you, you avoided generally social media commentary, but the praise for your comedy special has been strong. Are you still avoiding it?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. I took Instagram off my phone and my social media team looks at it. So I think social media, especially as a comic, should be a one way street. Like I do the output. But we're closed for the feedback because at 42, we know the compliments and the insults are always regenerating. So I'll just avoid those for the time being.

[Billy Gill]

What do you love about this special? Obviously, you are now a veteran. You have polished these things. Do you feel about this better than you have about others? I know you sort of have to say that, but what have you learned?

[Dan Le Batard]

You know, as a mother of two, I just turned 42. I think this comedy is all about giving people a really good time. You know, you know who I am. When you sign up to come see my show show, you know that you're going to get a little bit of insight wrapped in comedy. But I think we're all kind of going through a weird, tough time just with everything going on. So I think more than anything now, this is incisive, raucous, a lot of fun. It's very physical. I really do think it's fun for the whole family. I don't know if you can bring your whole family to a casino, but I think there is really something for everyone because I genuinely want to include everyone in my standup. So if you leave feeling offended, maybe you shouldn't be watching standup at all.

[Jessica]

Ooh, that's actually a great segue to something I wanted to ask you. We have male comedians come on our show all the time and I'm a huge fan of by the way, but they come on and they always make degrading comments about women that we just let slide. So I was wondering if you could say something degrading about men.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, it's in the special. So don't you worry. It's actually baked into my body of work. Look, I really think as a real feminist, my job is to hate everyone equally. And I think that truthfully, you know, it's all. I always want women to leave feeling good from my shows. You know, I am one and I see the things that we're up against, but you don't have feminism without men agreeing. And no man wants to buy a ticket to a show to be told that you're a problem or to be made to feel bad. So I do believe in bringing everyone in and insulting everyone equally. And, you know, we have an audience that's 60% men, so I'm sorry, 40% men. So I think they get the memoir. But when men degrade women, it just reeks of, like, I'm sorry you didn't have sex in high school and you're, like, still bitter about that.

[Mike Ryan]

Is this. Speak of the devil, Is this an especially good time or an especially dangerous time to get into whatever you would consider to be political?

[Billy Gill]

Incidentally, you're talking to somebody who didn't actually have sex in high school because he lost his virginity at 23. We learned yesterday.

[Mike Ryan]

22, actually.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, maybe. Maybe back in the 20s it was different. No, I'm just kidding. Contraceptions were different back then.

[Mike Ryan]

It was the 30s, so quit maligning me.

[Dan Le Batard]

My mistake. It was called the Great Depression for a reason. Yes, it was, but I'm not a political comic. I mean, look, you could probably tell by the tone of my voice, like, a little bit how I vote. But I believe that people are. We all contain multitudes, and I believe it's a case by case basis. And I don't expect people who live in a rural area to agree with people who live in a city. My comedy is never political. It's always social. And I really pride myself on having a really nice mix of liberal, conservative, queer, you know, your grandpa, whatever. I do a lot of work with our uso. I have a lot of military in our shows. I have a lot of people that span all political spectrums, and I think they keep coming back because there's certain inalienable truths in the comedy that I have. I don't know if my comedy brain is firing on all cylinders, but people want to feel good and nobody wants to feel bad for an hour for who they are or how they vote or what they think. And so I always believe in digestible feminism. And. And that's why we. That's why we play Florida.

[Billy Gill]

Can you explain to us what the feeling is with a special coming out? You've been sculpting this work for a year or longer, I would assume so. Is it relief? Is it excitement? Is it nerves? Is it all of it?

[Dan Le Batard]

Dan, you ask such elegant questions, and I love that you said sculpting, because it really is a piece of art. And, you know, I guess it's my seventh special, so, like, I've been here before. I Know the feeling. But there is an excitement of this, like, thing that you crafted and you have to, as an artist, just realize once you release it to the public, it's no longer mine. Like, I stand behind everything that I said. But it's up for people to interpret and digest, regurgitate, reject, embody however they want to. And so I'm excited to see the way the fans receive it over the next year and I'm excited to see what those jokes turn into for the next special. So it's, it's a roller coaster.

[Billy Gill]

Are these political times good for you though? Comedy wise? Not any other way.

[Dan Le Batard]

I feel like political times always equate to a rough economy. So, you know, that's why I'm like begging people to come out to see me at the Hard Rock so you can see a show and see Christina Aguilera shoe right next to me. I think, I think good or bad political time, people still need to laugh. And, you know, I'm not getting up there and giving a full expose on the war in Ukraine. You know, people, if anything, more than anything, need a way to get away from their problems and step into a dark room and laugh with a bunch of strangers who may not be like you. Maybe meet your wife there, who knows? So comedy always is good business.

[Billy Gill]

What are the three comedians or comediennes that you will check out whatever it is they're doing with a degree of enthusiasm, excitement, you'll make sure to find it and, you know, just admire it.

[Dan Le Batard]

I can't say I would make sure because that would suggest that I have the free time to like watch full hours of standup. But I always enjoy. If I'm at a show and we're all doing spots, I'll always come back in the room to watch Sebastian Maniscalco. I think he's very funny. If Cat Williams is doing something I know that's like so random. I've always been a fan. I'd have to think of the other one. But I will tell you, I do make sure to watch a lot of younger comics. And I produced several 10 minute specials called Eliza's Locals which you can watch on Hulu. And we just did the second season which will be out on Amazon coming up this year. So I'm always, I'm always down for watching new talent helping to shape and hone and polish jokes. And so those are the things that take up my time.

[Billy Gill]

One of the things that I've been interested in and Katt Williams spoke of this when he did that Shannon Sharpe interview is pointing to the Joe Rogan comedians. And he was saying none of those guys are funny, but they are running comedy. And the amount of popularity that Rogan's guys are getting and the economy that that is in Austin that now feeds Kill Tony and an assortment of other things. What, where is your assessment on Katt Williams saying, I don't like the people that Joe Rogan knights even understanding that? I'm asking you a bit of a dangerous question there.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, I'm not afraid of anything. There's no backlash here. I mean, people that would be angry at that answer are going to be angry regardless. Look, comedy is a meritocracy and you don't have to like who's successful, but you can't knock the fact that it happens. You know, and especially now with the Internet ification of comedy, comics have more access to finding their audience. There's no Kingmakers anymore. You don't have to go on the Tonight show and be anointed. Greg, I know you missed those days. You don't have to go on Star Search. It doesn't have to be because you had this special set. So you are finding comics who are able to find their niche audience and do really well and they're not even household names. So that's good and that's bad. But I don't think you benefit ever from coming out and saying who you really hate and why. Because even if you're right, it always sounds like sour grapes.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm curious what you think of the TV series hacks and how accurate you think it is.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's so accurate. It's so scathingly accurate. I wish I could just get in a room with those writers and be like, but how do you know this? She of course reminds me of Joan Rivers. But I remember watching, I watched the whole thing. I was reticent to watch it because I was like, you know, as a woman who's tried to pitch a show about a female comic, you're always told that no one would watch it. And then you have marvelous Ms. Maisel and this so there goes to show you. But when she tried to get her own late night show and she couldn't, I cried watching it. And I think a lot of women cried because we all know that feeling of trying and just being told that you're not right, you're not good enough at all times. So the show, it's like a ghost of Christmas future, Christmas past. Like I hope to be that scathingly honest and bitter and intelligent and well dressed when I'M that when I'm Jean.

[Billy Gill]

Smart's age in that show, there's no more famous story of the way that women can be mistreated in comedy than Joan Rivers being run off the road. The moment that she started competing with Johnny Carson, after Johnny Carson, and helped her in so many ways. And she helped him in so many ways.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, I mean, I think what it comes down to and for the girl who's there, I'm sorry, I don't know your name, but I'm glad that you're here. I'm glad there's another girl here. I think it comes down to women contain multitudes and do great things. And as much as we get pit against one another, it usually is like a bitter male comic secretly stepping on your neck. Like, I have seen those tantrums in my own interviews. I've had male comics walk out of a podcast. I've had male DJs walk out. I've had men who, you know, I might have the wrong inflection, and then all of a sudden they're upset. So we always are told to get this tough skin. But I would give that advice right back.

[Jessica]

Oh, my name's Lucy, by the way.

[Dan Le Batard]

Lucy, nice to meet you. I'm sorry, I would.

[Billy Gill]

I would assume it is a world of atrophied adolescents close to toddlers is what I would assume the world is.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, I think to criticize these things, as a woman, you just get called a bitch. And even when you go on some of these podcasts and you agree with the host, you know, you're still subjected to the comment section, which is why I turn that thing off. And so you are dealing with gigantic children, but for some reason, if you're smart enough to know that, somehow that makes you the problem. And so it is this weird catch 22 of, like, being just smart enough to know the environment, but, like, not being able to comment on it. So the answer is, make your own money, sell out your own shows, get your own fans as a comic so you don't have to ask anybody for anything. And that is my favorite part of this job, is I don't require permission.

[Billy Gill]

What do you love and hate about the road?

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, my God. I don't think we have enough time. I love making a. This is so dorky. But, like, I just did it. I love making a connection. I'll call it like a butthole type connection in a big airport and walking from one plane onto another, like, you feel like you nailed it. I love that. I love, obviously, the performing and the fans. I don't love trying to find like a good salad late night in a city like Buffalo. I don't love missing my family, but I do love the travel and I do love seeing those miles get racked up. And I do love being the only woman in first class sometimes. And I love getting to see all the different types of fans all across the world and our country because it gives me a true working knowledge of this amazing country. Because it's very easy to sit in somewhere like Los Angeles and live in your bubble. Although Los Angeles is like 70 Latino, so it is pronounced buble, but it's very easy to sit here and have judgments about everyone else. But then you go to those cities, like I've been to Gary, Indiana, the murder capital of the world. You know, you go to Cincinnati, you go to New York, you go to whatever to get some real context and you realize, oh, my God, people are good everywhere. And that's why I don't just like, take aim randomly because someone's politically different. Like, we are all mostly good people just trying to, like, live our lives and eat some buffalo wings at 2am.

[Billy Gill]

Give me some of the moments or a moment on this particular tour where you have been awed by either the size or the emotion of the crowd and compared it to something in your past early in the journey where you were like, man, I'm a long distance from that catastrophe when I used to tour.

[Dan Le Batard]

I appreciate that question that would suggest that I have, that I have any gratitude. And as a comic, I don't. I only ever think about the ways that I'm failing. And I know as a woman I'm supposed to be like, so grateful. I'm never in awe of the size of the crowd because I look at those ticket counts. So I always know what we're walking into. But I will say I brought my daughter to my show in Vancouver, which was incredible. They're always amazing. And she watched from side stage and at the end she ran out. No one told her to. She ran out and I scooped her up and I was like, oh, my gosh. Like, I started talking about like, hand jobs and vodka sodas at 21, like, getting paid, like, free chicken fingers at like a bar in Santa Barbara, like, wherever. And now there's like a little girl here that I deliberately had. And so that was a weird. And I toured pregnant with both kids. So it was. I turned over and I was like, I can't believe that this little girl is here and that I let her stay up till like, 11:00, which is really bad parenting.

[Billy Gill]

Oh, but that's such a great snapshot that you're describing at the top of your profession where, I mean, that's just the coolest. How old. How old is she when this is happening?

[Dan Le Batard]

So she was a little. She was a little bit under three, and she just turned three, and so just, like, her little legs running out, and she wasn't afraid of the crowd or anything. It was just a magical moment to, like, scoop her up. And I knew I got to be backstage with her. Normally there's a dog waiting for me, but having her back there, and I was like, oh, wow, you ate all the fruit in the green room. And so you were.

[Billy Gill]

You were actually paid in chicken fingers. That. How. How early in the career was that where the. Where the act paid you in chicken fingers?

[Dan Le Batard]

So the secret was. And this is before everybody got paid. You know, now you get paid to do your spots around town. But this was. I had a day job. This would have been. I got a gig in Santa Barbara, so I left my day job at 6:00. I drove down there, and, like, at the time, no one was really getting paid, or at least I wasn't. And. But you got free dinner at this bar, and they gave you 20 minutes because you couldn't get 20 minutes at the time in L. A. I was, like, 25 because no one knew who I was. So I got free chicken fingers, and I got to fill up my own gas tank and pay for it.

[Billy Gill]

So. March 28th at Hard Rock in Hollywood. March 29th at Hard Rock Orlando. March 30th, Hard Rock in Tampa. If you want dates and tickets, Eliza.com help us settle an argument from yesterday. People are yelling at me because they say I ruined and spoiled the righteous gemstones because I told everybody that Walton Goggins is funny when doing full frontal and angry. What are the rules on this in the modern age? Can you help me, please, on spoilers? Yes.

[Dan Le Batard]

I think you have to put a spoiler alert. If it's within. Does righteous gemstones. And I should know this because I was on it last season. Do they release them all at once?

[Billy Gill]

Hold on a second. No, it's not. No, no. Hold on, hold on. Look at me. It's just a name drop. You just when you said I was on it last season. We like to. You know, it's a look at me situation.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, yeah, I was on it. Good luck finding me. I'm in a giant wig. But I should know. I don't remember if they dropped them all at once or if it's appointment viewing.

[Billy Gill]

Do you know it's supposed to be appointment viewing? I thought that this was one of the shows that we all talk about at the same time.

[Dan Le Batard]

I think you get to do a spoiler alert. Like I think if it comes out that week, you have to write spoiler alert. But if we're a week out from it, I think people then you missed it. It's appointment viewing. But I think always writing spoiler alert or saying it so people have a chance to tune out is online courtesy.

[Billy Gill]

I reject that as a suggestion. Uniformly. I will not.

[Dan Le Batard]

I didn't say trigger warning. I said spoiler alert ones. They're different.

[Billy Gill]

It is nice to see you again. Eliza.com is where you go, A different animal. A different animal is streaming on Amazon Prime. There it is. Look at that. Look. Wait a minute. What? What? Look at that.

[Dan Le Batard]

I just knew it would be a great way to go.

[Billy Gill]

Yes, that's a great dismount. Looked deeply, unhappily unhappy. That animal.

[Jessica]

Projecting man.

[Dan Le Batard]

[J]

All right, I know I got to do this ad read, but hold on, let me reapply.

[Jessica]

Did you hear that?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yep.
