Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo, what are you doing here?
- [00:39]
Stugotz
Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.
- [00:42]
Dan LeBatard
Well, I do know that to be true. But even during ad reads like Cuervo, I think he could lay out especially.
- [00:48]
Stugotz
For one of our great partners, Sweet, delicious Cuervo.
- [00:50]
Dan LeBatard
Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.

Hello, everybody and welcome to the Best of the Dan LeBatard show with Stu Gotz. And do we have an exciting best of show for you today. Happy 4th of July. Happy America Day. When I think of America, folks, I think of one thing. It's the same thing you're thinking of. I think of Donald Trump. We're here. Who'd have thunk it? Who'd have thought that I would be thinking and associating America with Donald Trump? And believe it or not, many, many years ago, before he was president of this great country. He joined our show back when he was just a blowhard game show host, billionaire. He was a friend of the show. And it was a different time, folks. That's. That's the only way I can explain it. We had no clue at the time that he would be president one day. We had no clue at the time all the things he would say and people he would offend. But here we are, and it's time to relive it. And I thought, who better to lead us on this journey through our interviews with Donald Trump? And I know what you're thinking. It must be Tony. It's not. It's Jeremy Tashay. When I think of Donald Trump and I think of today's politics, I think, who better to lead us and guide us through this terrain than one Jeremy Tache. So soon I Will toss it over to Jeremy for him to walk us through all these different interviews that we had with Donald Trump. And I just encourage you to think back and think to yourself while listening to these interviews, who to thunk that this guy would someday be president, but here we are. So I'm excited to relive this with you. It's a lot. We're throwing a lot at you. But just know this happened a long time ago. This was before he was president and we had a lot of fun with him. He was a great radio guest. I've heard Howard Stern say that Donald Trump was the best guest that he's ever had, just in terms of he's gonna be honest and he's gonna say interesting things. So let's see if he did it with us. Multiple interviews with Donald Trump, hosted by one Jeremy Tache. Take it away, Jeremy.

Jeremy Tache
Hey, thanks, Chris. Thank you for. For putting me in this position to have to listen to all this audio and lead everyone through it. Thanks for nothing. I hate it. This is some of the craziest. What did I just listen to, Guys? What you're about to hear are three separate interviews that Dan and Stu Gotz did with Donald Trump over the course of three separate years. The first, which you're about to hear in the local hour, half of it is from 2013, November of 2013. You'll get the second half of that interview in the Big Sui. Then hour one will be an interview from September of 2014. And then finally, hour two, your final hour of the day, will be an interview From May of 2015, just 20 days before Donald Trump would announce his first run for the presidency. I'm sure some of you can remember some of the language used in that lovely little press conference. Some of the seeds of that were planted in these interviews. No joke. As you guys listen through, you will hear the evolution of Trump's line of thinking. I think there's so much weird stuff because it's all mostly through the lens of sports, but you can hear a lot of the Make America Great Again rhetoric through stories of, like, Dick Buckus. So this is strange. Why are we doing this? Why are we, er. Why are we doing this? The position that I get put in on this show, it never ceases to amaze me. So, hey, listen to this interview where Trump gives his opinion on the Jonathan Martin Ritchie Incognito scandal, talks about how wonderful Moscow is for his Miss Universe pageants and his wonderful relationship with the banks who helped bail him out of bankruptcy, and how a bad economy is Good for his business. Here's President Donald Trump back in 2013.

Dan LeBatard

Jeremy Tache
Of course I do.
- [06:06]
Dan LeBatard
I make it Miller time. Of course. That beautiful white can. Oh, when it's so hot outside, I just. I just put it right to my forehead right there. And I just roll it sometimes right on the forehead, cool my body down, and then I crack it open. Instant relief. And then that first sip, brother does that first sip.
- [06:20]
Jeremy Tache
That is a tough top five sequence of events that you can possibly go through.

Tony
What's up, guys? Tony here and I wanted to talk about something super important. And that's how I keep my home protected. Obviously. You guys know I have a little one back at home. My wife is there with her, and I get tremendous peace of mind knowing that the moment I leave for work that my home, my property, my family is protected. Not just reactively, but proactively by Simplisafe. They are the number one for home security on the planet. On the market, there's nobody better than Simplisafe. I got the cameras going on. I got indoor cameras. I got outdoor cameras. I'm looking all over the place. Most security systems only take action after somebody breaks in, but you and I know that's too late. Especially when you have a little one at home and when you have your wife at home. And the big dog's not there, right? Simplisafe's new active guard outdoor protection helps stop break ins before they happen. AI powered cameras live monitoring agents detect suspicious activity around the property. If somebody's lurking, agents talk to them in real time, turn on spotlights and can call the police proactively deterring crime before it starts. Everything's on the app. I want to see the cameras. Boom. I see who's walking their dog a little too close to my yard, maybe leaving some dog residue close to my yard. I can go on the microphone, say, buddy, clean up after your dog.

Cool.

Tony
Sit on a beach, come back, sunburn, sand in your pocket and the same stress that you left with. It's not the long term option. It's not the long term fix. What has helped me lately is just taking small steps. I get some sun every morning. I do my little incline walks. Yes, I walk on the treadmill at an incline.

Stugotz
Really cool to have Donald Trump, who is going to join us right now on the Subway freshman take hotline here on ESPN Radio. Stugots very badly wants to be Donald Trump. Even with all of Donald Trump's many enemies, Stugach just wants to be this guy. We've got a lot of things to ask him, but we'll begin in sports. I want to know what the Donald thinks of this Miami Dolphins bullying calamity. You have to have opinions. You're known as something of a bully.
- [10:47]
Donald Trump
Well, I do have a lot of opinions. I try not to be a bully. Sometimes it works out that way. The other day I was tweeting, you know, this Twitter thing is a whole new world. But it's sort of funny. I've like of people on my Twitter and I said, I wonder what Vince Lombardi would think when, let's say in the case of Rutgers, the coach shouted at one of his players. He was shouting at a player, and they want to now sue him and destroy him. Sort of interesting. It's a different world. I mean, I played football in high school and I had a coach that was so rough. He was a drill sergeant who was also a football coach. I went to a military academy. And this guy would be. I mean, he was brutal. He would grab you and smack you around. And, you know, it's a different world today.
- [11:30]
Stugotz
But hold on, Donald.
- [11:31]
Donald Trump
I remember very well Vince Lombardi because I was a member of a golf club where he was. And he'd walk in and players would be there from, you know, his team, and they were pet. These big guys, and he was not actually a big guy, and these guys were petrified of him. And, you know, that's just a different world today, I guess.
- [11:48]
Stugotz
I don't feel like you answered my question about specifically the Dolphins bullying calamity, though. The Rutgers coach was throwing basketballs at players. He wasn't just cursing and yelling at him.
- [11:57]
Donald Trump
No, no, no. I'm not talking about the basketball coach. I'm talking about the football coach. And there's been a about Rutgers. The football coach was shouting at one of his players, and the players thought it was very terrible. No, the basketball coach looked like he was out of control. I think this. I think the message that he left was terrible and really stupid. I don't know what's going on between those two guys, but I think the message that he left on the telephone was just so stupid, you wouldn't think anybody would say that. So certainly he did not leave a Very appropriate message. You gotta punch the bully in the mouth, though, right?
- [12:32]
Stugotz
Donald Trump?
- [12:32]
Donald Trump
Well, you know, that was part of it. I mean, these are football players, and football's tough, and they have their own culture. And you would think that maybe they get into a fight and people could understand that. But, you know, I really think that something strange was going on between the two of them. But certainly the message was terrible and inappropriate. And let's see what happens. I mean, both of these guys, I don't, I'm not sure that you want either of them on your team.
- [12:56]
Stugotz
I want Donald Trump. I want to ask him about his life. So let's go back a little way. Do you have any huge regrets?
- [13:03]
Donald Trump
Well, you know, I like to think that it's been such an incredible life. I mean, I've just enjoyed my life. I've done really well with things, and my company is now better and bigger and stronger than it's ever been. And I've just had a great time. We just had Miss Universe. I own the Miss Universe pageant. It was in Russia, in Moscow, and it was an incredible evening. I've had a lot of fun. When you do have regrets, you have to learn from mistakes. We all make mistakes. And if you don't learn from the mistakes, then the mistakes just aren't worth it. A lot of times you can make a mistake and it can save you later on on a much bigger problem. So, you know, I don't really have regrets. It doesn't help to have regrets. But whatever it is, if something went wrong, you have to learn from that. That's very important.
- [13:45]
Stugotz
Donald Trump with us on ESPN Radio. What's the closest you ever were to bankruptcy? How scared were you during that time?
- [13:52]
Donald Trump
Well, in the 1990s, I owed billions and billions of dollars and the market collapsed, and I never went bankrupt. But friends of mine went bankrupt, never to be heard from again. And it's tough. You know, once you do that, it's pretty tough. But I was billions of dollars. And, you know, fortunately, I developed unbelievable relationships with banks, and they were the ones that had the money, and they were in a lot of trouble. I mean, they were in trouble with a lot of, in a lot of different ways. And I was able to work out deals with the banks that were really the best, the greatest deals I've ever made, probably. And to this day, I still do business with those same banks. I mean, they've been, they were great to me.
- [14:27]
Stugotz
But how scared were you? How scared were you?
- [14:29]
Donald Trump
Well, you know, I don't think I had Time to be scared. I had to get to work because I had such a charmed period that I felt that, you know, anything I touched. They did a story in one of the biggest, in the biggest business magazine. Everything he touches turns to gold. And I believed it. I really did. And maybe I wasn't as focused as I used to be. This is in the early 90s and in the 80s. I was making tremendous amounts of money and deals were phenomenal and they were flowing off my back. So when the market turned, I wasn't used to that and I had to go back to work. And frankly, it taught me that even like, you know, these days are very good and the markets, you know, for me have been fantastic. I've been buying a lot of different things and I like to buy at depressed prices and it's sort of good for that. And money is very cheap, which frankly, from my standard, I don't know if it's a good thing for the country. But as a developer, that's a great thing. So I don't know. I think that I was so busy making deals that I didn't have time to be scared. But the one thing I will tell you, I liked my life and I didn't want to change my life. I didn't want to be moving out of Trump Tower and move over to, you know, a one bedroom apartment someplace. Believe me, I didn't want that. So I had plenty of incentive to work hard.
- [15:41]
Stugotz
What was the most reckless period of the Donald Trump life like? Give me the most reckless six month or year long period.
- [15:49]
Donald Trump
Well, I think the most reckless may be when I'm a golfer. I play golf. You guys probably are, I think you are golfers and we all love it and I own great, great courses. But when you're a golfer, you don't really want to be buying boats. And I went out and I bought Adnan Khashoggi's yacht for a lot of money. And I had this yacht, this tremendous yacht. It had 27 people on board working. It cost at the time 25 million dollars. Now that was today the equivalent of probably 100 and something million dollars. And I had this magnificent yacht. But there was a problem. I didn't want to use it because I wanted to play golf. So I had a yacht sitting there waiting for me. I had this massive crew and I'd play 18 holes and I've won a lot of club championships. So I'd be playing like at a club championship. And I didn't want to go and go to the yacht after the round of golf. So it sat there. I was probably the only yacht owner that almost never used his yacht. And then ultimately I sold it. And that was sort of a good day in my life when I got rid of it because the market had crashed and selling a yacht was not the easiest thing in the world. But that was a pretty reckless thing to do, I think.
