[Dan Le Batard]

They got to let Miles Garrett out of Cleveland. They got to let him. They got to let him go. Just. Just cut him. Just please, like, just let us watch him play. For a team that supports that kind of excellence, he's the best pass rusher there's ever been. Lamar Jackson was terrified yesterday.

[Dano]

Cutting him would be awesome.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, just. Just let him go. Just. It's an act of mercy. Put it on the poll at Le Batar. The Cleveland Browns cut Myles Garrett as an act of mercy. Yes or no? Juju Gotti is with us. We'll update the polls with him. We're going to do listener of the day with him. But do you have a list for us? Can you give. Can you give us a list inside or outside of football Juju of people in sports who need to be freed from their present circumstances?

[Juju Gotti]

Yes, sir. The top five free him list.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay. All right, so you are something. Ready off that? You got a top five. All right. Very good. Good. Any Oli or number or you want.

[Juju Gotti]

To start with number five, Oli Drake. London.

[Dan Le Batard]

He's so good.

[Juju Gotti]

He is so fire, bruh. Get him out of Atlanta. He will win you a ring today. Number five, Trey McBride. That brother is awesome.

[Dan Le Batard]

He had 10 catches yesterday. Trey McBride.

[Greg Cote]

How about 84, Dan? What did 84 have?

[Tyler]

Yeah, Chris thought he had 11 catches. We don't need to relive this.

[Dan Le Batard]

15 catches.

[Tyler]

It was a tight end route.

[Juju Gotti]

Number four, Garrett Wilson. He could help a squad out for sure. Then let him go from the treacherous organization that is the New York Jets.

[Dano]

Treacherous?

[Juju Gotti]

Yes, sir. Number three, his college teammate, Chris Olave. Tyler. Show whoever he is not showing me enough to make me think that Chris Olave is going to be the man that quarterback.

[Greg Cote]

It should be what you said.

[Tyler]

It should be what juju said.

[Dan Le Batard]

He shucks.

[Greg Cote]

I let one of my Tony's top.

[Juju Gotti]

Five go, damn it. Number two, Justin. Jet has Jefferson. Get him out of there. Put him with Josh Allen. Sorry about that. I'm a selfish Bills fan.

[Dan Le Batard]

You shouldn't apologize for that. You must be frustrated that they don't have any wide receivers in Buffalo, right?

[Juju Gotti]

Y days like yesterday are our Super Bowls that like we know we're not going to win no Super Bowl. Like Greg said, our legacy. We don't have a legacy. To get back to the winning behavior of the Buffalo Bills, we've been losing forever. So let's just have some good Sundays. That feel good? We beat bank yesterday, man. Let's throw back a couple bruise. And number one. Number one, as you mentioned, Miles Garrett. Free my boy.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, I'm sorry I undermined your list. Or maybe I just. I helped you create all off the cuff. Yeah, it's unbelievable that he can do that off the cuff because that's a good list. He had a. An unbelievable list there. Any other NFL thoughts from yesterday? Anything that we. Anything we missed or should have gotten to?

[Juju Gotti]

Yeah, I gotta. I got a proposal for the NFL because I'm sick of seeing this in the NFL. Quarterback drops back, throws long. The defender gets called for pass interference and he's complaining like, what are you talking about, Rev? Holy moly. And then a slow motion review and show him clearly holding a jersey. If the slow mo show you clearly holding the jersey and you are get this instant injection, you're out of here.

[Greg Cote]

Whoa.

[Dano]

I think I'm with it.

[Dan Le Batard]

Whoa.

[Greg Cote]

Of course you would be.

[Dano]

I am with it. Like in the NBA too. The player twirls his finger and wants a review and we see.

[Juju Gotti]

Right.

[Dano]

It went off you last.

[Tyler]

That's a challenge. You just challenged. You wasted your team's challenge. You did the finger thing.

[Juju Gotti]

And also go hit the showers because we're done with you today. You're a liar. We don't like liar.

[Dan Le Batard]

So. So. So you got. You're saying an injection for lying? Yes.

[Juju Gotti]

Yes, sir.

[Dano]

For fiber.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay. For put it on the poll at Levitar show. Should the NFL start ejecting people for fibbing on pass interference calls at Levitard show? I. I heard somebody nominate another Zazz MVP of the day earlier in the show. Was it marketing or was it somebody else?

[Greg Cote]

It was Steph Curry.

[Dano]

Dano.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, okay. So. Oh, we're doing this again. Okay. The.

[Home Depot Announcer]

Be.

[Juju Gotti]

Of the day.

[Greg Cote]

Are you saying B?

[Tyler]

It sounds like B. I'm telling it sounds like B. It's most valuable.

[Zaslow]

Baller.

[Dan Le Batard]

Says, do you have any nominees?

[Dano]

Of course I have a nominee. If we're gonna talk about mvp, we might need to have a conversation about Luca Doncic.

[Greg Cote]

You're back on Luca.

[Dano]

We might need to have a conversation about Luca. Saturday night Lakers, they crush the bucks. Lakers are 10 and 4. By the way, Luca, he had 41 points. He was 18, 20 from the free throw line. He does whatever he wants out there. He's like a magician, Dan. And by the way, this is without LeBron James. Gonna be real interesting how they can reintegrate him back to the lineup. Did you know lebron's in the G League and Bronnie starts for the Lakers? That's right. Think about that. But nonetheless, Luka Dunchich. If we're gonna talk about mvp, need to have a conversation about Luka.

[Juju Gotti]

Yes, sir.

[Dan Le Batard]

Do you have a nominee or you're just taking Zaz?

[Juju Gotti]

Lay out Dan. Lay out VP of the day.

[Greg Cote]

Respect the layout.

[Zaslow]

Then let it breathe.

[Tyler]

Ran out of breath there.

[Dan Le Batard]

So, Juju, do you have one, or you just wanted to celebrate Zaz's?

[Juju Gotti]

Oh, yeah, I've already reported. Julian G Has reported that this year's 2025, 26 NBA MVP is Nicola Jokic. Sources.

[Zaslow]

Something different.

[Greg Cote]

All right?

[Juju Gotti]

Yes, sir.

[Greg Cote]

Something different also through the last four.

[Juju Gotti]

No, I'm so reported. I don't know. Limb also reporting on a little correction. Tyler Hero, he broke his hand on that one play. Caught the ball and drained it.

[Dano]

No, it looked like he did because it hit the bottom of the net. And they thought it was good. They thought it was a swish, but it was an air ball. It was very tricky, Juju. Very tricky.

[Juju Gotti]

Zaslo finds out.

[Dan Le Batard]

Do not question Zaslow on random Heat jumpers. At any point.

[Dano]

It looked like it went in, Dan. It did. Juju's right. It looked like it.

[Juju Gotti]

It looked like it was drowsy.

[Dan Le Batard]

Listener of the day. Do we have a listener of the day? Are you nominating anyone?

[Juju Gotti]

Yes, sir, I do, man. For your niceness and just overall, just kindness in the chat. Today's listener of the day, Kelly Francis. Man, I salute you, ma'. Am. Keep doing your thing.

[Dan Le Batard]

Just general niceness. No quoting of things. Nothing. Just giving off general decency. In the chat.

[Juju Gotti]

Yeah, the whole chat throughout the day. Always supporting someone else's comment. Lol. And rolling over laughing. That's what we need in the chat encouragement for one another.

[Dano]

Jimmy Butler, why you did not have a 31st?

[Juju Gotti]

Yeah, that was crazy.

[Tyler]

Like I.

[Juju Gotti]

As a. As a brother who not got a little bit of insight. I heard as soon as he said, that's New Orleans. And so Jimmy Butler. Yes. No matter what he's saying, brother, keep walking. It ain't worth it. Especially like you say. But you. He put you for 30 parts on a regular season game. Nah, bro. I don't like it.

[Dano]

Jimmy Butler, why you did not have a 30 perk?

[Dan Le Batard]

It does sound like it is in New Orleans. It sounds like Chappelle. He's doing Chappelle.

[Greg Cote]

Rick do this anymore?

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay.

[Dano]

Exactly. Is this from let's do.

[Dan Le Batard]

Let's do some polls here at lebatard show. What do you have to update?

[Juju Gotti]

Yes, sir. Is being on time hard? 54% of the audience says, no, it is not. Damn showboats. I saw Salute to the Rams black jerseys yesterday. They deserve a shout out.

[Tyler]

They were dark blue. Technically, I know everyone. I agree.

[Greg Cote]

Midnight blue.

[Tyler]

They were. They're labeled as dark navy blue for everybody with eyes. They were black, right? Kind of like Yankees look black, but it's dark blue.

[Juju Gotti]

I don't like exactly that.

[Tyler]

Yeah, just like.

[Dano]

Like that Cardinals tight end.

[Zaslow]

Whoa.

[Juju Gotti]

Like that. The kid that bumped into that. That cop in the tunnel. That's. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

No.

[Greg Cote]

Is here and there.

[Dan Le Batard]

Did anybody. Did anyone side with the state trooper? Did you hear? Anyone siding with the state trooper?

[Greg Cote]

Yes, I did. He was just asking. Where's your lanyard? Two forms of id.

[Dano]

What clearance do you have?

[Greg Cote]

You're not supposed to be back here. Lanyard field access. Get out of here.

[Dan Le Batard]

Batarco back to Josh Darrow if you want to vote.

[Tyler]

Is that Greg?

[Dan Le Batard]

Polls at Lebitard Show. What else you got?

[Juju Gotti]

Juju with James Winston. Is it always trick or treat?

[Dan Le Batard]

Such good analysis.

[Juju Gotti]

98 of the audience says, yes, it is. Is there anything anyone can say to you that would be worse than them spitting in your face? 85 of the audience says, no, there is not.

[Dano]

Tony, you can get AIDS like that.

[Dan Le Batard]

Dan, that's not accurate.

[Juju Gotti]

Does it hurt more if at the end you lose to the guy named? Let's. 84% of the audience says, yes, it is. Damn right. And while I have your attention, check out the Greg Cody podcast featuring Greg Cody today.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why don't you. Instead of plugging your column and plugging your podcast, why don't you plug juju's shit? Why don't you tell people where it is that they can get what Juju's doing, as he's always supportive of what you do.

[Zaslow]

You know what? Ali oop is the best episode ever coming out. So look it up, dial into it, watch it, listen to it, do whatever you have to do to support this guy. The driving force behind the entire Lerd show empire, Juju Gotti. Right there.
