Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. The Pablo Torre vs. Clippers Saga

[01:29–03:48]

• Pablo Torre’s reporting on the Clippers is dissected with admiration and amusement. The crew notes that Torre’s relentless “slow play” and apparent depth of sources has left both the Clippers and NBA scrambling.
• Dan: “It is rare for a reporter to have this kind of confidence in his reporting again and again and again.”
• Stugotz highlights how every pushback by the Clippers or Mark Cuban bolsters Pablo, as more sources come forward with evidence.
• Dan humorously theorizes about Torre’s motivations: “For Pablo, the greatest instinct is, how do I get attention?”
  Quote:

“Pablo is governed by journalism. Very high on the list. But higher on the list is, how does he get attention.” – Dan Le Batard [03:26]

2. NFL, Gambling, and Football Weekend Debrief

[03:48–05:20]

• Stugotz and Dan riff on the confusion surrounding gambling parlays, ties, and the evolution from shady bookies to digital sportsbooks.
• Dan’s realization: “My bookie had been ripping me off for years because I did not know that a tie was a win in parlay!” [04:40]
• Light “old Miami” anecdotes—envelopes at cigar shops, familiar bookies—keep the segment local and personable.

---

3. Devastating Panthers Injury: Barkov’s ACL and MCL Tear

[05:28–12:51]

• Dan moves to the pressing local topic: Panthers star Alexander Barkov’s season-threatening injury.
• Zaslow is emotionally shaken, likening the injury’s impact to when Dwyane Wade missed key Heat playoff games or Marino’s Achilles tear.
• Dan: “This is the most damaging thing that could possibly happen to a two time defending champion.” [07:53]
• Zaslow: “The only thing worse would have been like if he had his head chopped off.” [08:09]
• The crew debates whether the Panthers’ depth can weather losing Barkov (and Tkachuk until January), ultimately casting doubt on their playoff assurances.
• Zaslow and Stugotz joke about “offering their knees” to Barkov for a “super knee.” [11:19]

---

4. Zaslow’s Pilates with SEC Nation, and Amber Wilson’s Betrayal

[12:51–15:47]

• Dan exposes Zaslow for doing “Pilates” on the Georgia campus—thanks to a mysterious but obvious “rat,” Amber Wilson.
• Zaslow quips: “That Jezebel, Amber Wilson, just rat me out.” [14:52]
• Playful ambiguity over Zaslow’s loyalty follows: despite correctly predicting Alabama, he told a Georgia fan the opposite to avoid confrontation.
• Zaslow: “I’m not scared... but like, I wasn't trying to get into it.”

---

5. Marlins Ruin the Mets’ Season

[18:09–21:47, 41:47–43:16]

• Dan and Tony compare Juan Soto’s $61M salary to the entire Marlins payroll, which is just $67M, underscoring the improbability of Miami’s season-ending victory over the expensive, disappointing Mets.
• Classic Marlins tradition: group photo after every win, which leads to the bitter Mets broadcasters accusing them of “celebrating as if it’s the World Series.”
• Zaslow, Jeremy, and Dan agree: knocking out the Mets was about as satisfying as a playoff berth.
• Notable quote:

“Do you know how great it is to knock out Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, Juan Soto with Norby? It’s so good.” – Dan Le Batard [19:47]
“Maybe more than the Marlins actually making the playoffs... watching all the New Yorkers who now, like, move down to Boca or West Palm Beach, cry outside. It was incredible.” – Jeremy Tache [41:59]

---

6. Bad Bunny vs. Taylor Swift: Who’s the Biggest Artist?

[22:14–29:36]

• Tony insists Bad Bunny is the world’s biggest artist, given his host spot at the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
• Dan questions whether Taylor Swift’s numbers and global impact surpass Bad Bunny’s fandom.
• Stugotz: “Metrics are the vibes, and the vibes are he’s the biggest artist on the planet.” [27:35]
• The show laughs off Albert Breer’s viral tweet confessing he’d never heard of Bad Bunny.
• Playful poll propositions: “Did McDavid pump a fist quietly under the table...?”, “Do you know anyone who says Brava instead of Bravo?” [11:35, 29:05]

---

7. NFL Weekend: Top Stories and Shocks

[23:43–26:57, 38:29–39:28]

• Zaslow nominates Chiefs–Ravens as the NFL story of the weekend, shocked at the result: “I would have guessed anything that the Chiefs were about to fall to 1–3.”
• Discussion covers the Ravens’ injury woes (“...the most injured team... last year they were the healthiest defense in the entire league...”), Lamar Jackson’s “never blown out” stat, and the Eagles’ statistical dominance and short-yardage prowess.
• Zaslow: “Does that stat make Lamar Jackson look bad?.... Do you take from that he’s not necessarily always great in close games if they always lose close games?” [26:05]

---

8. Ryder Cup: Unruly Fans and European Payback

[29:48–36:16]

• Mike Ryan and Stugotz detail disgraceful US fan behavior at the Ryder Cup: “They were yelling stuff that was crossing the line... bad for a hockey game, bad for a college football game.” [36:16]
• Rory McIlroy, exasperated:

  “I don't think we should ever accept that in golf. I think golf should be held to a higher standard than what was seen out there this week.” [35:07]

• European soccer-style chants and Donald Trump being trolled cap a surreal event.

---

9. Odds & Ends: NFL Monday, Dolphins, and Marlins

[39:37–40:56]

• Dan and Stugotz drop Dolphins and Jets stat nuggets and roast Tyreek Hill’s missed practice for a family birthday—Zaslow: “I’m so over him... Your team is 0–3 and you’re skipping the last practice...?” [40:55]
• More evidence of Dan’s love for local sports narratives, including Heat/Panthers/Marlins candor from Jeremy live at Heat Media Day (from the “bowels of the arena” due to his LeBatard Show ties) [44:41].

Tone & Style

True to form, this episode blends passionate sports talk, South Florida gossip, self-aware inside jokes, and a roving, improvisational energy. There’s a distinct “hometown radio” warmth layered with national perspective, sprinkled with jabs, “put-it-on-the-poll” debates, and self-deprecating stories.

If you missed the episode, this summary delivers the essence: a wildly entertaining, locally obsessed, wonderfully irreverent take on the most Miami sports week possible—and the petty joys of being a Marlins fan when the Mets collapse.

Transcript

[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?

[Stugotz]

Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

[Dan Le Batard]

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.

[Stugotz]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

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

[Stugotz]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo.

[Zaslow]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

[Stugotz]

Cuervo.

I worked with designers to create high performance activewear that holds up to my toughest workouts. Shop YPB by Abercrombie in store, online and in the app. Because your personal best is greater than anything.

[Stugotz]

Pablo again. Again. He's got the Clippers PR staff up at 2 o' clock in the morning.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is just laughable. This is as bumbling a situation for the Clippers as you can find every time they have a clapback to Pablo's reporting. Why is Pablo sit like he's had the nuts this whole time? Like what. What is this? Or is it just with every pushback from the Clippers and Mark Cuban, more sources reach out with more evidence. At this point it's laughable that the NBA investigation is gonna go beyond this All Star Game so they can keep it at at their fancy new arena. This is. They're dead to rights.

[Stugotz]

Allegedly. I'm assuming. I'm assuming that this was dropped purposely on Clippers media day. I don't know. But he is slow playing it. That's. That is for sure. Like he has all of the information and no one else has access to the information and it's too entangled for anyone else in the media to actually try to catch up. And so everyone else is behind, including the NBA. It's not just the Clippers, it's Silver, it's the NBA. And you've noticed that the statements from the Clippers have gotten weaker and weaker as they've gone down. Because now they're just afraid. Because it is rare for a reporter to have this kind of confidence in his reporting again and again and again.

[Zaslow]

Verifiably false, Dan.

[Stugotz]

Provably false is what they opened with. They opened with the statement provably false because they thought they were dealing with the normal and there would just be one time. But Pablo is not going to let go of this bone. If you guys thought he was excessive with the Belichick stuff getting in clicks, what do you think he's going to do with this stuff? Because Pablo is governed by journalism. Very high on the list. But higher on the list is how does he get attention for Pablo, like, that's, that's the, that's the highest governance. It's ahead of. I know most humans would argue that survival is the greatest instinct. For Pablo, the greatest instinct is how do I get attention?

[Dan Le Batard]

Should we quickly go over the bullet points from this most recent Pablo drop? For the uninitiated, it is a football Monday. People are groggy from an overtime draw that had a combined 80 points in it.

[Stugotz]

I somehow, I somehow lost money betting on that game. Even though all I bet was huge offensive explosion all over the place. Cause I bet the packers winning and, and.

[Dan Le Batard]

But if you had that in parlays, it's a push.

[Stugotz]

I did. I learned that last night. I did not know that last night that. Because the way that I had always done that before is that a tie ends up with your money getting reduced on the parlay. You don't win the parlay, but I learned last night that you actually win the parlay. This is what happens when I use an old school bookie, as I had to before gambling became something that was more normalized. And so I realized in, in, I realized in real time last night, thinking that I had lost, that my bookie had been ripping me off for years because I did not know that a tie was a win in parlay.

[Zaslow]

What are you going to do about that?

[Dan Le Batard]

He uses a bookie responsibly.

[Stugotz]

I used to, I don't anymore. Now that you have DraftKings, you don't have to do you have to do shady alleys behind a Walgreens anymore?

[Dan Le Batard]

Just go across state lines every weekend.

[Stugotz]

I used to just drop off an envelope because I was never picking one up. I used to just drop off an envelope at a cigar shop to keep distance between myself.

[Dan Le Batard]

I know that guy.

[Stugotz]

Armando.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats podcast.

[Stugotz]

I will ask you guys in a moment to tell me where it is that you believe we should start the show after that football weekend. Cause I thought the college football was again better than the pro football. And it started Friday night with two games, not one. And I don't want the Friday night games to get lost just because a weekend happened. But I'll get to the football in a second and ask your guys's judgment on where it is you believe we should start. Because I don't want to start with the most recent game that was a tie in an offensive explosion because I didn't think it was the most interesting of the games yesterday nor of the weekend because really I really found college football interesting this weekend. But I want to start with what is the biggest story locally. And it's not Jeremy at Heat media day. We'll check in with him there, but I don't think I'll ask him Heat questions. I'll ask asking Panther questions and Marlins questions because we again did the annual Marlins ruin the Met season? Are the Mets always scheduled the last few games of the Marlins season? Because this is an unusual thing to have the Marlins wrecking an unusual number of Met seasons. I mean, the Mets can't feel good about losing their season when they've got Soto and they're losing to Wagaman and Norby. Tony, look up for me please, outside of Sandy, what the Marlins are paying everybody and if it comes close to what Soto is making, just what they're paying everyone outside of Sandy on the payroll because I think the Mets should be really embarrassed by what it is that happened yesterday. But locally, and I don't want to get too far from this story, even though I know people are tired of the way we talk about the Panthers and hockey around here. But we've got the two time defending champions and this is a seismic injury. And the worst news, I think this is legitimately the worst news. The Panthers could get an ACL tear and an MCL tear for Barkov that will make him at least miss the regular season. And I'm not going to assume that you could just flip a switch and stop McDavid in the playoffs because Barkov will get back and be exactly himself. I imagine that Roy and Zsasz are crushed by what it is that happened here because I legitimately can't think of a bigger injury that could happen locally. This is the most damaging thing that could possibly happen to a two time defending champion. To have a player this versatile go down on a non contact injury and have it be both ACL and mcl, which you know is going to be a monster rehab, the only thing worse.

[Zaslow]

Would have been like if he had his head chopped off.

[Dan Le Batard]

That would have been bad.

[Zaslow]

Like that's the only thing worse.

[Stugotz]

Well, hockey players can play through that. ACL and MCL will knock you out for the season. But the torso of Barkov could still neutralize. McDavid.

[Zaslow]

I was trying to think of like what, what is a local injury that made me feel the way the end of last week did. Like maybe it was when Dwyane Wade got hurt in 2005 in the Eastern Conference finals. You know, he missed game six. He had to be shot up. He was only good in the second half of game seven. That was really terrible. The Dolphins haven't had an injury like this. I mean Tana Hill got hurt that one year but it's like whatever, it's Tannehill. I mean you go back to Marino in 19, 1993. I this to me this is as devastating an injury I felt in a really long time. I was so bummed on Friday last week.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, I mean the best player on the back to back defending champions just got hurt. He might be done for the season. So yeah, that is a devastating injury.

[Stugotz]

But this team is deep enough to.

[Dan Le Batard]

Actually make the playoffs and who knows how far they might go without him.

[Zaslow]

I don't know. It's hard making the playoffs in that league, man. I don't think it's a given. Don't forget Kachuk is out till January. Like I don't know that it's a given that they're going to be a player.

[Stugotz]

They're very deep and that depth is going to be tested. The Panther team that won last year is as great a champion of any kind as we've had in sports. It was stronger than their first champion and the reason it was so strong is because of their depth. But it's going to take 90 plus points to make the playoffs. And yes, you're correct that the top half of hockey is very strong and there are no assurances that you're going to make the playoffs. And again, I don't believe that, that you can simply rehab and then start with playoff intensity hockey and expect Bark off to be exactly the same player.

[Zaslow]

Oh, like you're, you're holding out that he's going to just show up and play in the playoffs.

[Stugotz]

Well, I'm not. I'm. I'm hoping that there's a. Look, hockey players are. Hockey players are weird. And playoff hockey people play through. You heard Maurice tell us last week what people were playing through. So I assume he will try because because of what it is these guys have put together and because he will never get a chance again in the entirety of his career. And there are probably zero players in the league who will ever get the chance to win three straight titles.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's a damn shame because I like their chances. And Zaz is right. I know we invoked McDavid. That's like two months into the playoffs league. I think it's going to be a real battle to get into the playoffs. They play in the hardest division in hockey with ascending teams. You know, you have the Lightning and you have the Maple Leafs in that division. But teams like the Red Wings and Ottawa are certainly on the come up on the ascension there. It's going to be a real struggle for this team without Matthew Tkachuk for most of the season and without the best two way player in the game and Alexander Barkov to make the playoffs. They are deep enough to make it. There are wild cards in that sport. We'll see.

[Zaslow]

I hate injuries.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, it's a seven and nine month timeline. Even the most aggressive has him like iffy for that first round of the playoffs. This is a really bad injury and it's an injury that every other contender in the NHL in both conferences, maybe just.

[Zaslow]

I would give him my knee if he would. Would you give him a knee?

[Dan Le Batard]

I would give him.

[Zaslow]

I would give my knee. I'd give him both my knees and I would merge my two knees into one super knee and I would give that to him.

[Dan Le Batard]

And an elbow. Yeah, they all. They all pump their fists under the table. This is huge for the rest of the NHL.

[Stugotz]

Put it on the poll, please. At LeBatard show. Did McDavid pump a fist quietly under the table when he heard of the injury? Yes or no? Because I understand what you're saying. There's a lot involved before you get to McDavid. And a lot has to happen for both of those teams to end up in the Stanley Cup Final. But the reason Barkov is what he is to me is because I've seen no other human being on earth who exists who can neutralize McDavid. That is not something that any other team in the league has in its toolbox. And so when Zaz says this is comparable to Dan Marino going down with an Achilles tear when you knew the moment that it happened. Oh, no, there goes everything. And Dan Marino wasn't any kind of champion. It was just, you knew you had a competitive chance, and Barkov gives you. Barkov. Barkov being healthy makes you know. Yeah, they're probably going to get into the playoffs. No matter how hard it is, Barkov not being healthy makes you scared. Zas says that he was bummed and that he was sick. I had no evidence of that from video that was sent to me by sources. I, too, am a journalist.

[Zaslow]

What?

[Stugotz]

Zaslo is not the only journalist around here. On the Georgia campus, I'm guessing we have footage here of Zaslow doing what I believe is Pilates for the first time.

[Zaslow]

Come on.

[Stugotz]

Have you done Pilates before?

[Zaslow]

What makes you think that I've never done Pilates?

[Stugotz]

Where is this exactly? Is it on campus? How did this happen? And, yeah, who do I have to. Is Amber Wilson the source?

[Zaslow]

Oh, my God. What a snitch. You know what happens to snitches, right? They get hurt.

[Stugotz]

They give videos to our show that lead the show because you said you were bummed, and I don't have evidence. Is this how you get out your bummed here?

[Zaslow]

This is outside. This is right next to where they're filming Sec Nation and the Paul Fine Bomb show, and they were doing Pilates. Sec Nation Pilates. And I decided, you know what? I got to get my stretch on. And I laid down with the nice young ladies and did what I do. If there's one thing everybody knows about me, it's I, like, get my stretch on.

[Stugotz]

Do you. Have you done Pilates before? Is that the first time?

[Zaslow]

First time. Dan, Core strength.

[Stugotz]

It's. Everyone else has a blanket and a mat. You do not have a blanket or a mat.

[Zaslow]

I raw dog my Pilates.

[Dan Le Batard]

You what? Raw dog them. Oh.

[Stugotz]

I also got other information from a source, and I want to know if this is true. You correctly picked Alabama.

[Zaslow]

Sure did.

[Stugotz]

On your show. Yeah, well, get some of the bass out of your voice, because what I'm about to reveal, according to sources here, suggests that you're a bit of a fraud. I was told that a Georgia fan approached you. So this is true. That sounds like confirmation, Even if you take the fit. I was told a Georgia fan approached you and asked you who you thought was going to win the game before the game, and. And you said Georgia after, publicly.

[Zaslow]

This is such bullshit. Okay? I mean, that. That. That girl is a vixen. Ratting. Ratting me out. All right, every.

[Stugotz]

I didn't reveal my source. Who else?

[Dan Le Batard]

Who else could have been a Jezebel?

[Zaslow]

Who else could it have been? You're right. That Jezebel, Amber Wilson just rat me out.

[Stugotz]

So you did do that then you're confirming that.

[Zaslow]

So you know what I am good for. This is not the face of a liar. So you know what? I will confirm it. When I made my pick at the end of college football campus tour on ESPN radio, I correctly held up the Alabama helmet. That's right. That takes some balls, Dan, to say that Alabama is going to snap the longest home winning streak in the nation and the longest in SEC history. But I did it. That's right, because I'm not scared. But when we got to the stadium, a Georgia fan rolled up on me and was like, hey, what do you think tonight? Who's going to win? I was like, oh, Georgia, close game. I'm like, whatever man. Like, I'm not trying to get into it.

[Stugotz]

I thought you said you're not scared.

[Zaslow]

Yeah, but like I wasn't trying to get into it. So whatever, man.

[Stugotz]

Okay, so you are scared.

[Zaslow]

I. All I said was I'm not trying to get into it. Take that however you please.

[Stugotz]

Okay?

[Dan Le Batard]

That is the answer that prohibits him getting into it. Yeah, what's up listeners? I don't know about you, but when I was a kid, I certainly dreamed big. I think when we were all kids, we dreamed big. Whether we wanted to be astronauts, presidents. Personally I wanted to be a pitcher for the then Florida Marlins. Now we're dreaming of something else like owning our own businesses.

Don LeBatard I've never stepped foot on that campus. If you told me right now your life depends on it. Go to Santa Fe University and Just. Just take a picture.

[Dan Le Batard]

Stugats.

[Zaslow]

I would die. I don't know where it is. This is the Dan Levatar show with the St.

[Stugotz]

I want to talk about that Alabama, Georgia game. It had one play above all others that I want to talk about, which is throwing a screen pass to the 340 pound guy and then watching him run 10 yards like sixth graders were trying to grab him because he just kept moving the pile all the way to the goal line. But before I do that, Tony, can you give me the stats please, on salaries with the Marlins as it relates to just Juan Soto? Because again, the Marlins just ended a disastrous Met season that is now being proclaimed the failure by their own voices. They're saying what an epic failure it is because they spent so much money trying to make the playoffs. And after the Guardians and the Tigers clinch on Saturday, the Marlins just ruined the entire Met season. On the last day, the Mets go out with a whimper. They don't score a single run. Keith Hernandez and Gary Cohen are whimpering in the broadcast booth. What numbers do you have for me, Tony?

[Dan Le Batard]

So, Dan, his salary, Soto salary in 2025 is 61 million. The Marlins payroll for the entire team is 67 million. If you take out Sandy from that, he makes 17 million. Now you have 50 million for the rest of the players. There's nobody else on the active roster except for Edward Cabrera, who makes a million dollars. Everybody else, other than Edward Cabrera, who makes almost 2, makes 1.9. Everybody else makes less than $800,000. You have to get a million bucks. You find Braxton, Garrett, who's on the injured list, and Anthony Bender. Those are the only two other guys on the team that make a million dollars. So three guys make a million dollars. Sandy makes 17. Soto makes 61.

[Stugotz]

Do you know how great it is to knock out Francisco Lindor? Pete Alonso, Juan Soto with Norby. It's so good. And here's Keith Hernandez, who is wonderfully bitter. Okay, Keith Hernandez, I love listening to him because he's just sour. And here he is finding the only way he can to rip the Marlins because he's just disgusted with the Mets. And he's the broadcaster who comes home from a bad day at work and kicks the dog.

[Dan Le Batard]

The three man booth. Gary Cohen's in there. I think he's the one that spits the most poison here. I'm watching the Marlins. They just took a team picture in front of their dugout like they're going to the postseason. This was their World Series. Two out of three Knocked the Mets out of the postseason. We saw the Reds celebrating in Milwaukee. Oh, that's loser talk. It was explained to me, by the way, by Jeremy, that this is a Marlins tradition all season long. They always take a group photo anytime they win. Now this was the first time all season that the entire team took a photo and the Mets clearly took exception to that.

[Stugotz]

It's usually the stars of the game that take a picture in front of the dugout. This time it was the whole team. And it's only because it was the end of the season. The end of the Mets season, specifically the end of the Met season. Is what the three man booth of the Mets think. No, it was just the end of the season. They're saying goodbye to each other and they're ending with the perfect, perfect punctuation of just befouling those stats that Tony gave. That's crazy. Is it not to think that the Marlins, what the Marlins do, finish like four games behind the Mets and ruin their season.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's a great season for the Marlins.

[Stugotz]

Oh my God, is it a good season for the Marlins? In fact, you'll find fewer, you'll find very few ever in the history of South Florida that exceeded expectations more than this one. Except maybe the pandemic season where they made the playoffs on a 30 and 31 record because they played only 61 games.

[Dan Le Batard]

The Girardi season also surpass wild expectations. Marlins are good for the occasional surprise. It's a funny little sport. I learned yesterday that the Reds were good enough to make the playoffs.

[Stugotz]

Girardi won, I think 84 games and manager of the year, and it was an enormous surprise. And then they fired him. That's the way the Marlins end up doing business. Where would you guys. Before we get to the Hampton Farms nuttiest fan, where, Tony, would you start if you could only pick one game from the entire weekend where you would start today's show?

[Dan Le Batard]

Show.

[Stugotz]

What would you think is the most important one, Dan?

[Dan Le Batard]

Wow, what an incredible weekend of games. We had Friday games, Saturday games, Sunday games. I'm probably going to start if the biggest news out of the entire weekend, which is Bad Bunny's hosting the super bowl halftime show. We didn't talk about 15 minutes into the show. We haven't even mentioned the biggest thing on the planet, which is the biggest artist on the planet, is now gracing the super bowl halftime show, which is going to be unreal. Dan. That's where I'd start. You want me to do 15 minutes there or.

[Stugotz]

No, no, thank you. You keep saying, though. You keep saying that Bad Bunny, he's.

[Dan Le Batard]

The biggest artist on the planet. I said that five years ago and it still rings true today.

[Stugotz]

Put it on the poll at LeBatard show. Biggest artist on the planet. Is it Bad Bunny or is it Taylor Swift? Because I thought it was Taylor Swift. I didn't think that Bad Bunny had.

[Dan Le Batard]

Do you listen to Bad Bunny then?

[Stugotz]

Some, but. But I don't listen to Taylor Swift either that much. And I know that Taylor Swift sells out places in a way that Bad Bunny does not. No knock on Bad Bunny. She's just got a following that I thought was larger. Am I wrong on this?

[Dan Le Batard]

You could be wrong. I would bet dollars to donuts that you're wrong. Let me run the old search there.

[Stugotz]

Okay, you can look it up. And how are you doing this?

[Dan Le Batard]

You're doing this in sales by streaming numbers. Because look, Bad Bunny has an advantage here. I mean, Anglos like his music and he sings exclusively in Spanish, so he has access to parts of the globe that Taylor Swift doesn't.

[Zaslow]

Yeah, I don't know what he's saying when he's singing, but I like the way it sounds.

[Stugotz]

What would be your nominate nominations as low for the place that you would start today's show? If you were talking about one thing of all things from the weekend, I.

[Zaslow]

Think it's Chiefs, Ravens. I mean, I was. I was in Athens this weekend for Georgia, Alabama. It was awesome. All right. And there was some real good college football action over the weekend. Ole Miss, really good stuff. But what Virginia did Friday night. But that Chiefs Ravens game was a shocker because I would. I don't care. Xavier Worthy played. I would have thought. I would have. I would have guessed anything that the Chiefs were about to fall to 1 and 3. Maybe the Ravens aren't any good.

[Stugotz]

Well, their defense is bad and hurt. Okay. So they've allowed more points. Their defense has allowed more points than any team in the league. And that's on a schedule that includes the Cleveland Browns. Last year, they were the healthiest defense in the entire league and it showed this year. While I'm watching that game, there were players on the field for the Ravens that Nance did not know their names. Like, he's just saying job. He just. Well, it is his job. But they're so hurt that he's like. And the backup makes the tackle there. And he didn't know who it was. Let me give you some number, okay? Because. Numbers. Because they only had seven games missed by defensive starters last year. And this year they're the most injured team. One of the reasons that that is so shocking yesterday is because a month ago against the Bills, through three and a half quarters, we all would have looked at the Ravens and said, whoa, that looks like the best team in the league. Obviously, the Eagles are that, and they've got metronome excellence now. That won't make them the starting point today, even though they've won 20 of 21. And that hasn't been done in 20 years in the sport since the Patriots were dominating it. But the other thing that made yesterday shocking is that Lamar Jackson hasn't been beaten by more than 1 score since 2021. Like the Ravens, since Lamar Jackson became good that you talk about Barkov, since Lamar Jackson played, started playing well. That team is always competitive. If he's playing, you never blow out the Ravens, but their defense is in total disarray. Do you know what it's like for me to say that that's a worse defense than the Dolphins defense, which I believe to be historically bad, because they've allowed a good deal more points than every team in the league?

[Zaslow]

I thought that Lamar Jackson stat was weird. And the first thing that I thought of when I saw it was, okay, it's obviously great to be in close games. You always have a chance. But does that stat make Lamar Jackson look bad? Because then it's like. Like, do you take from that he's not necessarily always great in close games. If they always lose close games, well.

[Dan Le Batard]

Famously, when they're ahead against quality competition, they tend to open that back door up more than most teams. Really strange online discourse around Lamar Jackson because initially there were reports that he just got benched, and then it was a hamstring injury. But he's not on the sideline getting active treatment, so it looks weird a lot. Leading to a lot of people online saying that this guy asked out of the game, was he actually benched due to his performance?

[Zaslow]

My son ran into his Zazzle Mansion family and said, lamar Jackson just quit.

[Dan Le Batard]

The biggest question of the entire year is, is what album is he gonna play most songs from?

[Stugotz]

Right.

[Dan Le Batard]

Like, he's got 17 different albums that are so great. Is it gonna be. Which he's taking on a world tour now. That one's good. You like that one?

[Zaslow]

Yeah, I like that.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay, that one's good.

[Stugotz]

We have.

[Dan Le Batard]

Which is probably one of his biggest albums ever. We've got Nadia Sabe. Like, there's so many. Dan, how many songs are there in a set for the Super Bowl? I don't know, but 15, 20. I would be losing my donuts to Dan's dollars because Taylor Swift is streamed more than Bad Bunny. That doesn't matter though. Like, that's. Those are numbers. Numbers lie. But I mean, undoubtedly Fat Bunny's the biggest artist on the planet. Well, okay, well, depending on the metrics. Metrics are the vibes and the vibes are he's the biggest artist on the planet. Vibes. I'm with you. Are they creating. Hold on really quick. Are they creating whatever Taylor does on stage? I don't know if she does something like graphically or if there's some sort of like set design for Taylor. Are they doing that at bars in Little Havana like Casita, like they are gasadiki with. With Bad Bunny? The answer is no.

[Stugotz]

How about this? Albert Breard tweet. This is the first time I've never heard of the super bowl halftime act.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why, guys?

[Zaslow]

Stupid.

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean, why would you put that out there?

[Zaslow]

Stupid.

[Dan Le Batard]

Come on, stop it. That's really bad. There is a debate around this Bad Bunny thing that I'm not super comfortable with. Jay Z and Roc Nation are tasked with booking the act headed into this year. I was like, well, there's only one answer to who should perform at halftime. No, I was actually gonna say Metallica, Bay area icon that have been awesome. But then I saw the news for Bad Bunny. I was like, brava. This is a perfect artist in an important time. And this is probably the only one that I would find really acceptable to knock Metallica, who I think is deserving over the course of their careers in that home area to be performing. I'm super pumped. You guys got. People are gonna get fired up for Metallica.

[Zaslow]

You think, oh, Metallica would have put on an incredible. Even if you weren't fired up going into it, you would watch it be like this awesome.

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean, they're catal. I know. One thing is for sure, Albert Breer has heard of them. Sure he has.

[Stugotz]

Put it on the poll, please. Ebitard show. Do you know anyone who says Brava instead of Bravo and put it also on the poll? Are you surprised that Albert Breer has never heard of Bad Bunny? That seems it be.

[Dan Le Batard]

It seems he's a guy that watches Saturday Night Live, so I feel like he's a liar. That's his age. Demo is like, I'm locked in on Saturday Night Live. I'll watch. Who's this Bad Bunny guy? Oh, I don't like him. Okay, but don't say you had never heard him. Multiple time host and Musical guest. Bad Bunny. Everyone knows Bad Bunny.

[Stugotz]

Albert Breer evidently doesn't know Bad Bunny. What would you select? Mike Ryan. If you can only select one place to start today, what would be your selection?

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, given what's been pulled off the board, I think applying just a top line macro sense of what's big in sports, I'd get into the Ryder Cup a little bit and how much Europe seemed to really enjoy that and how poorly the US fans behaved during the entire weekend. Honestly, you know how Zaslo finds Inter Miami unlikable?

[Zaslow]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's about how I felt about USA Golf right from the jump. And the fans kind of took their notes from the top. It would appear from people that have covered the Ryder cup legacy media guys that have been around this competition plenty of times, they said that they've never seen fan behavior.

[Zaslow]

Well, it's like what were they doing? They're just yelling stuff.

[Dan Le Batard]

They weren't just yelling stuff. They were yelling stuff. That was crossing the line. Shane Lowry almost got into a fight with somebody. Had to get security there. Rory McElroy is pointing to multiple people saying bleep you, bleep you, bleep you. These guys certainly look. It's a weird sport to. To hear about trash talk surrounding one of the big events, but Europe was absolutely pissed at the treatment they received. There was a signature drink that they were selling that had a rubber, a squeaky rubber duck that seemed like a bad idea. And at that hole, all these people in the gallery were squeaking the rubber duck whenever a European guy was at the tee box. This was bad. And to cap off a really bizarre weekend of social media behavior from our president. He couldn't even tell that he was being directly trolled by Europe. When they were invoked, a European soccer champ asking Donald Trump, are you watching? And he reposted on truth. I am watching. Congratulations. Clearly not getting it.

[Stugotz]

Let's get to some of the sound from that. Let's check in with, as Stugotz likes to call him, cuz he's a little bit dyslexic. Rory McLeroy.

[Dan Le Batard]

With all that in mind, everything you go through, how satisfying is it to turn around to someone and say, quote, shut the F up and then stick it to two feet. There. Very satisfying. Congratulations. It wasn't stiff. It wasn't stiff. I had to put it.

[Stugotz]

I cannot tell you how bizarre it is to see the country club unruly like golf is so much about.

[Dan Le Batard]

Do you hear those laughs, Dan? I mean, it was just, I mean, cool. A fun atmosphere but there was one standup report that I saw like, guys, this isn't the Waste Management Open. Though there is a certain dignity that comes with a Ryder Cup. I can't do anything with that. Yeah, it's effectively bullying me off the topic.

[Stugotz]

But it's wonderful that he's doing it because it hearing the golfers in the country club.

[Dan Le Batard]

It'S really pushing me off.

[Stugotz]

It's like hearing Parliament do. It just. It's weird.

[Dan Le Batard]

When did making plans get this complicated?

[Stugotz]

It's time to streamline with WhatsApp, the.

[Dan Le Batard]

He running today, huh?

[Stugotz]

I'm ready.

[Zaslow]

This is the Don Levatar show with the Stugats hats.

[Stugotz]

Let's hear some of the the talk about fan behavior.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't think we should ever accept that in golf. I think golf should be held to a higher standard than than what was, you know, than what was seen out there this week. Golf has the ability, ability to unite people. Golf teaches you very good life lessons. It teaches you etiquette. It teaches you how to play by the rules. It teaches you how to respect people. And you know, sometimes this week we didn't see that. So, no, this should not be what is acceptable in the Ryder Cup. But, you know, we will be making sure to say to our fans in Ireland in 2027 that, you know, what happened here this week is not acceptable. And it's, you know, for me, it's, you know, come and support your home team. You know, come and support your team. You know, I think if I was an American, I would be annoyed that people. I didn't hear a lot of shots for Scotty today, but I heard a lot of shots against me. And it's like, support your players. I mean, the behavior wasn't just bad for the Ryder cup or golf, even though that's how Rory decided to contextualize it. It was bad. It crossed the line. It was bad for a hockey game, it was bad for a college football game. It wasn't bad, Mike. Bad for a hockey and college football game, it was bad. It's a little.

[Zaslow]

I don't know about that.

[Stugotz]

It is strange to see in golf. And then they just started trolling Trump through song. So let's. Let's listen to some song here as they're enjoying singing their laughter at our president.

[Dan Le Batard]

Are you watching?

[Zaslow]

Are you watching Donald Trump?

[Dan Le Batard]

Are you watching Donald Trump? That is a European soccer chant.

[Zaslow]

That's a nice song.

[Dan Le Batard]

Is not complimentary the way that Donald Trump took it. I am watching big league. Congrats.

[Stugotz]

I. I want to talk about some of the things from college football, but I'm going to put them off to the side and I'm going to just say for a second that Ohio State's goal line defense is the best goal line defense I've ever seen. There's their short yardage defense. Washington got to the 1 yard line on Ohio State, and Washington had been 16 for 16 in the red zone with 15 touchdowns. But what Ohio State does to show you the physical advantages they have makes me think of the physical advantages that the Philadelphia Eagles have. When I'm watching the game, in which I don't know how you guys measure quarterback play, but one of the reasons that I know that Baker Mayfield is so good is because they put up the stat yesterday during the game. 40 drop backs, 2 sacks, 18 pressures on Baker Mayfield, it's like, okay, half the time, he does not have time, time. While Jalen Hurts is throwing two underhand touchdown passes to Dallas Goddard. Because that's just like, here, you grab it, giant Frankenstein guy with bolts in your neck, and you go three yards. Because we're just going to keep Mauling people right and left. And you're going to have to change the rules because we're physically stronger than everyone but Detroit.

[Zaslow]

It's the first time in several years that this happened. The Eagles had no completed passes in the second half of their game. They, they, they won by long.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, Baker almost did it. And you live by the Baker, you die by the Baker. That pick was brutal. I mean, he was trying to make a play. Yeah, but the elusiveness, the elusiveness to get out of the pocket under that, under that kind of pressure and just get the, the ball off. Trying to make a play.

[Zaslow]

It was one third. It was like third and long. And he ran for it.

[Dan Le Batard]

He picked it up, that fourth down like it was. It's just so great to watch him. Like they're down 21 and you, you just know like, Baker's got him where he was.

[Zaslow]

I wish was the Dolphins quarterback, by the way.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm sad Chris Godwin looks like a shell. I know it's his first game back, but he did fractured his ankle in like 19 places.

[Zaslow]

Give him more than a game or something.

[Dan Le Batard]

I know, I know he's working his way back. I love watching this player and just. You don't know what you're talking about. The explosiveness. Metallica pace. Hey, that says to golf. You don't get to do that.

[Stugotz]

I. I think you don't get to.

[Dan Le Batard]

Do that to me.

[Stugotz]

I think I want doing that. I like his.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, no. It's childish and amateur and I don't like a take. I'm just. I hate this. Wait. Jeremy finds it. Can you stop him? This is bad.

[Stugotz]

Jeremy Tashay is at heat media day. I don't know exactly why. We should be talking about the Marlins. We should be talking about the Panthers. The Dolphins have a Monday night game. Give me the stat of the day music here real quick here, Roy, so that I can just give you a quick stat on the New York Jets Dolphins game that is tonight. That may not be surprising to the rest of you before we go out to Jeremy Tache, but is still funny.

[Dan Le Batard]

Start of the day, start of the.

[Stugotz]

Day it is the start of the.

[Dan Le Batard]

Day Start of the day Start of the day it is the start of the day Start of the day Start.

[Zaslow]

Of the day it is the start.

[Dan Le Batard]

Of the day Start of the day.

[Zaslow]

Start of the day it is the.

[Stugotz]

Start of the day the last three jets coaches have started 03 or worse Waterloo game Tyree Kill Skip practice for family birthday party.

[Zaslow]

I'm so over him.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, that's just Like Chris Jones, right?

[Zaslow]

I'm so over him. I mean your team's Owen, he came into this season talking about how focused he is on football. You know, he, he is laser focused. Your team is 03 and you're skipping the last practice before Monday night football against your rival for your parents birthday celebration. It's a fun event. You have a couple hours go to practice and then go to the birthday celebration.

[Stugotz]

I enjoy that. Zaz is now picking up these. The stug not, I'm gonna say affliction of not finishing thoughts. Your team is.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, and it's all derivative of Mad Dog. They're all children of Mad Dog.

[Stugotz]

I don't think that's a real record in the standings.

[Dan Le Batard]

They're all facsimiles.

[Stugotz]

I don't believe in the standings. It says that the Dolphins are owing three.

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean it's very clear to see the influence here.

[Stugotz]

Jeremy Tache is at Heat media day. So I will ask him the question on everyone's mind locally, how much did you enjoy the Marlins wrecking the movie Met season yesterday?

[Dan Le Batard]

Maybe more than the Marlins actually making the playoffs in 2023.

[Stugotz]

Dan.

[Dan Le Batard]

It was such an incredible moment to watch them just end the Mets who have five times the payroll of the Marlins and watch all the New Yorkers who now like move down to Boca or West Palm beach right outside. It was incredible.

[Stugotz]

Let's play for Jeremy. The sound of bitter Mets broadcasters watching the descent of the Met season into the final toilet swirl of sewage.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm watching the Marlins. They just took a team picture in front of dugout like they're going to the postseason. This was their World Series. Two out of three knocked the Mets out of the postseason. We saw the Reds celebrating in Milwaukee.

[Stugotz]

Look at that. That look of Jeremy, as if he's walked into a bathroom that has a bad smell in it.

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean, maybe if your team played like it was the World Series, you would have made the playoffs instead of losing two out of three to the Marlins, who technically had nothing to play for in that series outside of upsetting the Mets. And they went for nothing. One of the greatest parts was the bases were loaded and Pete Alonso came up. You know the guy who's going to leave the Mets this offseason? He opted out of his contract. He hit the hardest ball that the Mets have hit all season, 115.9 miles an hour off the bat right at Javier Sonoa in left field. Javier Sonoa, who's pitched as many innings as the Marlins scored run yesterday. Jeremy, I'm going To pin you down here. Obviously, you know who the biggest artist on the planet is. Who is it? I heard you say bad Bunny. And while that's the answer, I understand. Thank you. Thank you. No, you did a great job. Hold on a second. Don't tell.

[Zaslow]

You can't do that to me. I do it to you.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're gonna handle the credentials of Taylor Swift to pretend like you can laugh at them.

[Stugotz]

All right, Jeremy, thank you for joining us from Heat Media.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, Dan, hold on, hold on, hold on. Before you send this away, I just wanted you to know. No, I was gonna be on the court. They had me set up to be on the court. When I walked in, people gave me high fives, hugs, everything. And then I said I was at the LeBatard show. And so they decided to put us back here in the freaking garage. So. Shows how your credentials have dropped out of the planet since we threw knives at Pat Riley. In my defense, it's just what was there. I would have thrown knives at Keith Askins if that were the cutout. I meant no disrespect to Pat Riley. I just needed a target.

[Stugotz]

Can I see where it is Jeremy is? And the glamour and pageantry of where it is that they have put Meadowlark Media, an ascending media company, in these troubled media times. Let me look at where it is Jeremy is. Because you guys did a close up there, and it looked like you were at Heat Media Day, but now it just looks like you're in the bowels of the arena. You're amid construction, and there are no other reporters.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is where mankind do his promos. This is. This is where they put me. Because I was going to be on the court, Dan. I was going to be on the court. And because of you and this mic flag, I'm here.

[Stugotz]

Okay, we will check back in with you later. We will.

[Dan Le Batard]

Also.

[Zaslow]

Did anyone ask about me? Jeremy.

[Stugotz]

Jeremy, also ask about aspiration. While you're out there, see if Pat Riley has any comments on aspiration.

[Dan Le Batard]

Please.

[Stugotz]

While you're out there.

[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?

[Stugotz]

Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

[Dan Le Batard]

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.

[Stugotz]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo so enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo. The tequila that invented tequila. Cuervo. Com. Please drink responsibly.

[Stugotz]

Cuervo.
