Chris
We'Re going to get to Juju Gotti in a second here. And also a review, a Yelp review of the Bull bar that closed 15 years ago right near where the Orange bowl used to be. We're going to get to that in a second. But first, a hearty congratulations to our boy Stugat. He is doing afternoons. He is returning to his lifelong love of live radio. He really missed it so three to five every day beginning this month. Beginning Is it beginning today or is it Beginning just this month that he will be Fox Sports Radio. Three to five afternoons are where we started a long time ago on live radio and he returns to his roots. We are expecting and hoping that he'll be back this month, but we were hoping and expecting that the last couple of months as well. So I think he's going to be back this month, but he's very busy. He's doing afternoons now on Fox Sports Radio.
Daniel
Yeah, I'll find out the start date on that. I'll text him.
Chris
I thought it was today.
Tony
He's on vacation already.
Chris
Do I have any.
Tony
I texted him, hey, when are you starting? He's. I'm on vacation.
Juju Gotti
Izzy's co host.
Daniel
Congrats on getting a response.
Chris
Let's get to Juju in a second. But first, I don't know if Juju's ever heard what this Bull Bar review is. How much of it do you want to read this is? It's hard to explain to people. It's a small place. It's a dark place. It had an undercurrent of criminal element. As I said, the one time I was there, I had to go through an airport security radar. There were many people armed there. I was scared.
Guest/Caller
Did they have the MRI machine?
Chris
An mri? No, they wasn't a radar.
Daniel
It was just a metal detector. But we move on. Yes, the world's changing at a orbital historic pace. You only got one flashlight on the cell phone, pal.
Chris
Jeremy, what does the review say? Go ahead and.
Jeremy
Yeah, I'm just gonna start reading and you tell me when to stop. Bull Bar, aptly named for its proximity to the old Orange bowl site and its exterior's resemblance to a place you'll likely find a lot of feces, is both a wonderful and horrifying establishment at the same time, if that makes any sense. It's sort of a melting pot of sadness and various diseases that modern medicine may or may not yet have a cure for. It's majestic, really. As you cross the street from Marlins park and make your way to Bull Bar, in parentheses. I can't imagine the Pepsi logo in the bar's name isn't breaking some sort of copyright law. By the way, close parentheses.
Daniel
Still there.
Jeremy
You'll notice a brightly lit liquor store. That's not it. You want the next door? The one that looks like you're about to walk into a drug deal in the back of an abandoned building. I entered that tiny door, the gateway to regret. This is my story. You want me to continue?
Guest/Caller
Yes.
Jeremy
The second I walked into Barber, I.
Chris
Would like for you to continue, but instead of putting a hat on a hat, can you do it with a little less Bill Kennedy affect? Because it's.
Jeremy
Nope. That's who I am, Dan.
Daniel
Yeah, you can't change them.
Jeremy
The second I walk into Bull Bar, I'm immediately transported to a strip club you'd find in a detective movie sometime between the late 70s and early 80s. Mirrors line the walls, while the majority of the floor is taken up by a huge empty wooden bar. There aren't any strippers, but it's only 6pm so who knows?
Chris
No, there were women with lingerie. They weren't strippers. They were just wandering around. You had to buy them drinks.
Jeremy
The liquor store next door with the bright lights and neon signs is connected to Bull Bar. The electricity apparently is not, and that's probably a good thing. There's a man passed out on one of the stools closest to the door, his head resting on the wooden bar. He might be dead. The only other people in the place are a slightly intoxicated Spanish man on the other side of the bar and two female bartenders. My friend and I sit a few seats down from the corpse and order two Coronas. Right away, we're unsure of our decision. These come in a bottle, right? Quote, I think so. Quote. A sealed bottle. The bartender, a gigantic woman in a spaghetti strap top that's roughly 14 sizes too small. Not nice. Pops the caps on our beer and brings them over to us. $8. Would you like lime? She asked in broken English. The lime does not come in a sealed bottle. We politely decline. After a few minutes, the bartender shuffles back from the liquor store next door with our change. One hand is holding dollar bills. Who? The other hand is buried down her top, adjusting her massive boob.
Daniel
That's right.
Jeremy
Which seems as if it's about to come spilling out any second. She catches us staring and begins to laugh. We laugh. We all laugh together uncomfortably.
Chris
Juju Gotti joins us now. Thank you, Jeremy.
Jeremy
There's still four paragraphs. You don't want those.
Daniel
Bring it home with the last one.
Jeremy
If you're in the area. I can't say I recommend going to Bull Bar. I also can't say I don't recommend it. I'm simply preparing you. And yet somehow you'll still be unprepared. Was the guy alive?
Daniel
No, he's still there.
Chris
Juju Gotti joins us now at Lebatard show is where it is that you vote on the polls. Juju, welcome. What do we have today in terms of critique or Subject matter that we didn't get to.
Juju Gotti
Oh, man, we got a lot of stuff we didn't get to. But first of all, salute man. Happy New Year to everybody. Man making it another year is never underestimated. Estimated over here, man. Lost a lot of friends due to a lot of different subjects. And so I really happy to be alive and happy to see you brother still kicking, you feel me? But y' all did not talk about the Colts had a double punt yesterday. I ain't never seen that. Not even a double punt. Double punt fake. Well, on fourth down they ran a punt fake and then on first down they ran the same damn punt. People out there another punt fake and got a flag on the team for a first down.
Dan Le Batard
They did like a hurry up, right?
Tony
It was a tempo offense of all right, we're going to do a fake punt. They throw it to Mo Ali Cox, by the way, Moss is the defender. They hurry up and get back in a pump formation and the Texans are like, wait a second, what are we doing here?
Dan Le Batard
Hold on.
Juju Gotti
Time out, time out, time out also too. I want to throw out there. Earlier in the show, Chris had this line there. I, I, I watch a lot of kids, I babysit a lot. This line from you, Chris, more like Tyler Poop, brother. That was a hit, bro. That was on little kid comic view types.
Dan Le Batard
Someone gets me.
Chris
Are you applauding yourself right now?
Dan Le Batard
I'm applauding Juju. Applauding me for having a good taste.
Host/Panelist
Do you know how much joy I.
Daniel
Got yesterday from Arizona has fired Jonathan Gannon.
Chris
Oh, to hear the broadcast call of Rigoberto Sanchez to Mo Ali Cox.
Daniel
Oh, yeah.
Host/Panelist
That is week seven.
Juju Gotti
Come on, come on.
Host/Panelist
That is the last Rigoberto.
Chris
Go ahead, juju.
Juju Gotti
Yes, sir. Well, like I say, I'm happy to be alive. I'm happy to see you brothers. But over this break, man, I just, I had to to get it out some kind of ways my takes and so I took up of the mantle of, of saving top 10 observations from the break. You feel me? So number 10, the top 10 observation number 10 is that BYU coach. That boy can go through some part tarts, bruh.
Jeremy
That was incredible.
Juju Gotti
Ju right. He was going straight crazy on the part time salute to him, man. Got the dub number nine, the spurs on the Thunder, man, in a big way in the biggest.
Chris
That was crazy to watch right? Twice where OKC is just getting throttled three times.
Juju Gotti
You dig it like even better than that. Number eight. I think that needing a get back coach is nuts. Bruh. It's just the concept, bro. Like, brother, you get so worked up about this game, you got to have another grown man hold your belt loops, bro. Come on, man. Calm down, Coach, we. We need you. Let's say 50,000 a year.
Guest/Caller
What would happen without the get back coach? Like the coach just going to run onto the field in the middle of.
Juju Gotti
A play, right, and eat a referee. You feel me? Number. What am I on? Number seven. Number seven. Unwritten rules. Get out of here.
Chris
On what? That you can make that comment any point. What happened during the break, that is an unwritten rule related thing.
Juju Gotti
Yes, sir. Giannis Antetokounmpo slam dunk the ball with like what, a second or two left as they already was up about 10 points. You feel me? Slammed the ball and then the other team got mad. Oh, why'd you score with no time? Brothers and sisters, if the rule is unwritten, moving forward 20, 26. If the rule is unwritten, it ain't a damn rule. Get out of my face. Play some defense with 2 seconds left if you don't want me to NBA Jam windmill on your style.
Guest/Caller
Am I the only one who recognized the irony in juju saying this while wearing a St. Lou Cardinals hat? The. The kings of the unwritten rules.
Juju Gotti
Okay, neither here nor there.
Chris
Put it on the poll at LeBatard show. If the rule is unwritten, is it actually a rule?
Juju Gotti
Number six, Tom Brady. We get it. You hate plastic gloves. Come on, brother. We gotta hear the whole. The whole game. You gonna say that, brother? We get it, brother. You the goat. Move on. Number five, bathroom attendance. I'm sorry, it's. It's over with. It's over.
Chris
What's over?
Tony
That. That entire leering, Dan. They're literally.
Chris
Okay.
Juju Gotti
This is my third time having the pp now I gotta give you what, five more books? Like, what are you doing? Stop. I can dry my hands. I feel obligated to give you something for giving me the towel to dry.
Chris
My hands for a mint for a couple of minutes.
Dan Le Batard
Gotta at least have a Venmo barcode there or something.
Chris
They've been crushed by the cash industry, right? They've been. They, they, they did a lot better when people always on the phone, right? Nobo wants to go into their.
Tony
That's why I got a point. Him finish it.
Juju Gotti
I go, right there.
Chris
A point.
Host/Panelist
I go put it on the poll at Le Show. Do you have a finger point and no tip for the bathroom?
Jeremy
You.
Guest/Caller
I only have one of those things that. It's not the finger point.
Host/Panelist
A real A real connection to the bathroom attended. You are not getting any money from me.
Jeremy
But you. And he points at you.
Dan Le Batard
And then as soon as you leave the room, it turns into a middle finger.
Host/Panelist
It is awkward. The whole thing's awkward. And then you're putting this poor person in a totally awkward situation. Nobody. Nobody wants to give this person money for a mint or a starburst. Nobody.
Daniel
Also, they usually have them at, like, bad places. Like. Like bougainvilleas has a bathroom.
Host/Panelist
You're trying to be classy with your bathroom attendant. That's just a Starbucks and somebody trying to get $2 out of me.
Daniel
Why does boogies need a bathroom attendant? What are you attending, sir? Have you looked around? This place is a disaster.
Juju Gotti
The gaki number four. What's the point of replay assistance?
Dan Le Batard
Me and juju are on this.
Chris
This.
Dan Le Batard
This is going to come back to.
Jeremy
Bite one of these leagues. It's.
Dan Le Batard
It's a slippery slope.
Host/Panelist
What are you doing?
Chris
Why are you waving?
Jeremy
Slippery.
Dan Le Batard
I don't want to steal his thunder here, but juju and I've been saying this for a long time. One of these times, they're going to come in with the eye in the sky is going to make a call, and it's going to be like, why? That's un. It's not fair, Dan. They pick and choose. They pick and choose when this eye in the sky comes out. And it's going to cost you a slippery slope.
Daniel
You know why most places put in a bathroom attendant? Why? Nine times out of ten, it's to stop people from doing cocaine in their bathrooms or at least provide an obstacle or sell it in Miami. It doesn't matter.
Juju Gotti
Number three, if your team has a losing record and you still happen to win the division, I don't give a damn. Over with.
Chris
What does that mean, over with? The same way that Mike Ryan wants.
Host/Panelist
To bulldoze lone depot park.
Chris
What do you mean, over with? That's it. You're making a new rule. Get the Carolina, the panthers out of here.
Juju Gotti
Over with. I don't give a damn about none of that. Congratulations. You won the south. Sit on the couch. We're gonna allow someone who was right on the cusp a chance at greatness. You feel me?
Daniel
And it's Notre Dame. Congratulations, everybody.
Juju Gotti
Number two, Stranger things. Jeremy, where you at? Pull up. Jeremy.
Chris
It's gonna hurt to juju to give stranger things some credit. It hurts you to do it or not.
Dan Le Batard
No.
Tony
Opposite or not.
Juju Gotti
Now the finale. The kick save in the butte. You redeemed yourself. Although I did not need two hours of how they ended up after. Spoiler alert. They conquered what they was trying to conquer.
Jeremy
You did.
Juju Gotti
Come on now. But the episodes leading up to the finale. Jeremy, come on now. Tell me how you feel. When Mike shook the world.
Jeremy
Yeah. This is this complicated. There were so many different layers to these episodes that everybody with the time in between them as opposed to just one season drop, started to cook up all these different theories. And the really disappointing and difficult part was like a lot of the theories that you saw kind of felt like they ended up being cooler and more layered than how the show actually they nailed it in.
Tony
Can I be honest? The Duffer brothers mailed it in.
Jeremy
I'm sorry. They wrapped it in a good place. But there are four or five things that I would still like some answers to. There's.
Tony
There's a video that has 45 closed or open loops from the season.
Jeremy
Yeah, look, there are some things, like.
Tony
When you have mailing in it.
Jeremy
Daniel, when you have open loops, like there are some things you're just never going to find out because they don't move plot forward. You can't close every single loop, 45 of them. But it did feel like they.
Chris
No, the best. No, the best ones always do, though. The all time classics close all of the loops.
Dan Le Batard
Sopranos, Okay.
Chris
A loop is left unclosed and people didn't like the loop.
Daniel
But.
Chris
But all your other storylines get answered when. What's the great classic that has 45 open ended stories?
Jeremy
The open ended stories, like, there are more. There are some random characters that you don't know maybe what happened to them. But if it. If it doesn't move the plot forward, then I can understand how that doesn't happen. But there are four or five questions left unanswered that really needed to be answered. It wasn't mystery, sure.
Tony
But when you multiply the main character and the Main cast by 5x from the beginning of the season, like, what are you doing? You've got. You look back and there's 17 people and you're like, okay, I've got a storyline for each person. Now what do I do here?
Chris
Juju. Did we get to number one or. That was number two, right?
Juju Gotti
That was number two. That's why I let Jeremy take it away. I knew he had us. You feel me? Number one, though. Forwards, baby. The you is back, baby.
Chris
That is the thing.
Juju Gotti
Almost.
Chris
Yeah. We're gonna do a Cuban pregame show. Are we doing a fake pregame show for two weeks?
Daniel
It can't start on time if that's the case.
Tony
Exactly.
Juju Gotti
Hey, also, hey, not to throw my hat in the ring here, but you know, we got Bills jacks this weekend. What do you say? Me, Tony, man on the street, you know, I mean, what is, what is.
Chris
What is happening there? What is happening there? Juju, do you have great confidence in.
Dan Le Batard
He hasn't been confident in the Bills.
Chris
This is a nightmare scenario for Josh Allen, this particular team coming in there.
Juju Gotti
Yes, sir. Bro. That's why I was saying earlier to my brother Nick Wright that saying that just because Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson isn't in the playoffs this year that, oh, Josh has this easy ticket now. That's not the case. I think that's the ultimate slap in the face for the Jaguars. A slap in the face to the Patriots, you feel me? Because these guys put teams together, they didn't just rely on one person getting it done. Like you said earlier, Jacoby Myers coming over there. You can look at the stat sheet and it may be a little different, but when he out there running routes and making you pay attention to that little Parker Washington is having a. He looked like Tyree Hill out there.
Chris
Well, that's what's happening. Parker Washington in the slot moving. What's happened with Brian Thomas and Parker Washington is you've moved them to two and three on there and it's totally changed their offense. Like I, in terms of. That would be the. I've got to assume the Bills are favored there. Correct. The Bills at home are going to be favored. That would be the, that the game I'm looking at and I'm like, I could have totally see somebody go.
Dan Le Batard
Bills are not at home.
Tony
Jags are at home. Dan.
Daniel
Jags three, six.
Guest/Caller
But Bills are one that point. Favorite.
Jeremy
Favorite.
Chris
The Bills are favored. Okay. Yeah, I, I would assume that the Jags will win that game.
Juju Gotti
Yeah, for sure. Me too. I, I look, I'm a big Bills fan. Yesterday emotional day, closed high mark, tears, red helmets. Come on. We should have played in them all year. But I'm a realist. I think Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars looking too good right now. They, they got it going too high of a clip. Team wise, both sides of the ball for the Buffalo Bills to expect to win this.
Daniel
You did.
Chris
Do we have a player of the day? No R on that? A player player of the day, bruh.
Juju Gotti
Yes, we do. Man. My brother Kurt, big Kurt, not the little one. Sting Nettie, what's his name? Signetti. The Indiana coach. Oh, man. Bro, right before the game, bro, they was Going out there to the field team behind him at his back. He looked over, he saw Pat McAfee standing over there. He gave my boy one of these.
Jeremy
Let's see this thing.
Chris
Oh, it's the same thing Tony gives.
Host/Panelist
The bathroom attendant when the guy wants a dollar for his spin.
Tony
He's got more of a thumb. Mine's more no thumb.
Juju Gotti
Two player, bro. That's what I know. He folk might do something this year.
Chris
Let's go ahead and update the polls at LeBatard show. What do we got?
Juju Gotti
Is Troy Aikman stealing money from the dolphins? 91 of the audience says, yes, he is.
Chris
What is that?
Host/Panelist
What is that?
Chris
Why are we going to Troy Aikman as to make Daniel angry to Chris Collinsworth or Trevor Matich or why are we going to Troy Aikman? Why?
Daniel
So far, he has a pretty good idea. Troy Aikman, the only level of expertise he could bring to the table, which is like, hey, talk to someone from the Eagles front office.
Dan Le Batard
From what I, from what I heard from the big dog, it's. He knows everyone around the league. Of course, he's got to feel a finger on the pulse of all the different people that are doing it right around the league.
Juju Gotti
And he look like Jay Z and Jay Z know what he doing. So I trust him. Did you learn the names of a bunch of backup quarterbacks yesterday? 87% of the audience says, yes, they did.
Chris
How is it that terrible, Terrible football is still better than anything else? Like, that was just such a bad, shitty football day.
Host/Panelist
And at the end of it, here you go, Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers.
Chris
Play another game even though nobody wants.
Dan Le Batard
You to, then have the wildest fourth quarter ever. It's just like right when I was like, this day stun.
Chris
What can you do?
Dan Le Batard
Steelers and Raven.
Chris
I love the reporting on that. A rock fight turned into a track meet.
Host/Panelist
Yes, it did. And you saved bleeping football hours just running everywhere. It was a rock fight. And then all of a sudden it's a track meet and football is saved.
Juju Gotti
Is Michael Irvin's physical comedy as great as Jim Carrey's physical comedy? 60% of the audience says, yes, it.
Chris
Is an all time physical comedy. Great.
Host/Panelist
It's, it's Dick Van Dyke falling over the ottoman. It's just, it's, it's whoever who are the great. It's Chris Farley doing, doing the cartwheels on the way up to Letterman's desk.
Juju Gotti
Fat guy in little coat. Also mayor of Kingstown. I got my eye on you too. I saw that that finale is not over, but definitely was underwhelming. Mayor of Kingstown. What's wrong with whimsy and joy? 68 of the audience says yes. Are you surprised that Austin Powers is 27 this year? 72% of the audience says yes, they are. And the last poll. Is it okay to be rich and chilling and not doing anything all the time? 83% of the audience says yes, it is. And those are your polls.
Host/Panelist
Tony, I want you to go keep going all over South Florida and just randomly asking people what their network deeply personal financial questions.
Jeremy
ZAZ In 1927, Babe Ruth hit hit 60 home runs and 151 games. Yeah. Then in 1961, Roger Maris hit 6061 home runs in 161 games.
Daniel
That's right.
Jeremy
Who should have been the single season home run leader at that point? The one who hit more home runs.
Guest/Caller
That's why there's an asterisk there. I didn't put the asterisk there. You know about that asterisk.
Jeremy
It is the origin of the asterisk.
Chris
See.

Main Guests: Dan Le Batard, Stugotz, Chris, Tony, Jeremy, Daniel, JuJu Gotti
This lively postgame show is a classic, free-wheeling episode featuring the Dan Le Batard crew and the effervescent JuJu Gotti. The team touches on sports, pop culture, nostalgia, and absurdities, all while weaving in local Miami flavor. Highlights include a hilarious deep-dive into a long-shuttered dive bar’s notorious Yelp review, JuJu’s signature "Top 10 Observations from the Break," and playful exchanges about sports oddities, "unwritten rules," and existential bathroom attendant etiquette.
The episode is irreverent, nostalgic, silly, and occasionally heartfelt. JuJu Gotti’s infectious spirit anchors the show’s mix of sports and absurdity, and the group’s playful, at times chaotic banter, is punctuated by classic Dan Le Batard show polling, purposeful digressions, and Miami coloring.
