Episode Overview

This episode of The Dan Le Batard Show blends irreverent sports banter, pop culture commentary, and unexpectedly urgent climate talk. Dan and the crew dig into recent soccer fan chaos in Miami, the nuances of European fan culture, and the heat’s impact on sports amid looming climate threats like El Niño. The hour moves through discussions of inside-the-park home runs, viral animal videos, and social oddities—including a sharp, recurring inquiry: why isn’t anyone grappling with the coming dangers of El Niño and escalating heat for live sports?

Guest JuJu Gotti joins for comedic social commentary, poll updates, and a bit of Blues Clues nostalgia. The humor is sharp, the takes are bold, and the oddities of sports and real life collide in just the way only this show can deliver.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Soccer Fan Mania in Miami & Cultural Contrasts

[01:38–07:41]

• Dan Le Batard describes the chaos of English and Norwegian soccer fans flooding Miami, observing with some irony that rowdy European fans are treated very differently than Black Americans once were on South Beach.
• Jeremy Schaap shares his personal experience of UK fan culture: “No, these English people are assholes. They are assholes. Straight up. The epitome of white privilege. Let me tell you something. For all their grandstanding and moralizing about the U.S., these assholes, if they were Latino or Black, they would have been dragged out of the stadium.” (03:36)
• Anecdotes flow about bathroom confrontations, beers flying from the upper deck, and the oddly enduring power of ancient British soccer chants (“Hey Jude” and “Wonderwall”).

Memorable Quote:

“Sports brings people together. I would like to hold it for you.” — Dan Le Batard, ribbing the awkwardness of bathroom encounters (05:33)

2. The Pressing Reality: El Niño, Heat, and Athlete/ Fan Safety

[07:41–11:05]

• Dan pivots from sporting passion to urgent climate concern, asking, "Why aren’t we talking about El Niño?" referencing cramping footballers and exhausted athletes.
• He frames the coming “super El Niño” as potentially catastrophic, emphasizing Miami’s vulnerability to heat and flooding and the inadequate infrastructure and data to deal with it:

  “We are headed right now in this next year for unprecedented heat and flooding... It's going to be a level of inhumane to do this [outdoor sports]. None of this stuff is going to get better. It's all going to get hotter...” (10:00)

Panel Responses:

• Jeremy Schaap: After dire Miami stadium stories, insists, “Way too hot to be doing anything. There need to be domes on everything going forward.” (14:29)
• Dan Le Batard repeatedly prods the table, “What has to happen on a field when there are heat extremities... that go beyond human limits?” (15:21)
• Jeremy Schaap adds that, while fans suffer in the stands, “I don’t have a cooling jacket. I don’t have cooling fans. I don’t have a training staff dedicated to making sure I don't dehydrate.” (17:08)

Memorable Quote:

“It’s going to take more than one person dying on the field. Correct?” — Dan Le Batard, on how slow organizational change will be in response to climate and heat risks (17:29)

• The group acknowledges: only mass tragedy—or widespread athlete collapse—will force meaningful change, while hydration breaks and domed stadiums are not enough.

---

3. Baseball Oddities: Inside-the-Park Home Runs

[18:34–21:49]

• Dan and the crew riff on the statistical scarcity and excitement of inside-the-park home runs (prompted by Jake McCarthy’s recent feat).
• Amusing debate about Marlins history, with Jeremy Schaap citing Google AI about Kurt Abbott’s multiple inside-the-park HRs—“Is there a possibility that Google AI is confirming what I thought incorrectly? Yeah, positively.” (21:19)
• Nostalgic banter on the thrill of these rare plays versus other baseball “excitement” moments (stolen bases, plays at the plate).

---

4. Check-in From Camp: Tony’s Updates

[21:58–24:14]

• The show connects with Tony at a kids’ summer camp, who provides comic relief with updates on drills, team names, and, most importantly, the pizza at lunch.
• Dan jokes: “Was your favorite part of camp Lunchtime?” (22:01), later confirmed in the audience poll.

---

5. JuJu Gotti Segment: Social Commentary & Polls

[27:35–37:14]

• JuJu Gotti enters, riffing on the sadness of Americans buying wedding garbage from Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce for $25-100 (“We Are the jokers of the weekend. Stop buying these folks trash.” 30:43).
• He brings classic JuJu energy, playfully re-enacting Blues Clues theme elements.
• Rapid-fire poll updates on topics like “Is Wonderwall to the English what Sweet Caroline is to Americans?” (“92% yes”), phone habits, and camp lunch popularity.

---

6. Viral Video Madness: The Bison Incident

[32:12–40:16]

• The crew obsesses over a viral Yellowstone video where a 65-year-old grandpa saves his grandchild, only to be launched into the air by a bison (“…the opposite of the Jumpman logo… the closest thing I have ever seen in humanity to the opposite of what is youth, athleticism and grace.” – Dan, 34:37).
• Dispute over how high he was thrown (8ft per ABC, but everyone thinks it looks higher); the group expresses equal parts humor and horror, noting the real-life injury and recovery.

---

7. Closing: Morally Abhorrent Soccer, World Cup Giants, and Rage

[28:57–42:46]

• Commentary on the exclusivity of the World Cup winner’s club (“it’s a very difficult club to get in”—Jeremy Schaap, 29:13), and how sometimes favorites survive by luck.
• Speculation on Argentina’s continued luck with officiating decisions; “I just think it’s weird... I understand how other people who care this emotionally... do find that suspicious.” (29:57)
• The hour closes with loose bits about missing show regular Amin (jokes he’s “been kidnapped”), and debate on the out-of-character Bam Adebayo/Tyler Herro incident, with Dan reminding listeners that “rage... isn’t logical” and surprise is natural when well-liked athletes snap.

[Dan Le Batard]

For all of my wife's understandable complaining about the sheer number of drunk pink people who are throwing garbage cans at each other and singing at 3 o' clock in the morning. It really has been lovely to to see the amount of passion sweep through our city during what is otherwise a pretty slow time as people leave the area because it's too hot here. The Norway the Norwegian fans arrived in mass and it was a total zoo everywhere around where it is that I live so much of a zoo that one of the guys who is monitoring the cameras in our building says, you know what my favorite thing to do has been over the last couple of weeks? He's like, I love to watch people who come to the fountain outside of our building and splash their face with water, not realizing how many people urinated in that fountain the night before that we saw on the on the video cameras. Because so many people. I mean it's just been so much insanity just everywhere that you look. The last time there were this many black people on south beach, there was a state of emergency and they got rid of them all here. This is not what is Happening. These people are viewed as vastly less threatening, even though they are doing the movements of people who raped and pillaged the Vikings famously raped and pillaged. These people are not viewed as threatening, even though all of them are drunk. But the English fans have been making fun of the Norwegian fans because the English fans do the following.

[Jeremy Schaap]

All right, I. I was there, actually. I was right there. They. They blocked the entire concourse. Let me tell you something. The English fans, and I've worked over there in the UK in soccer. I'll give you the bona fides. I've always heard about this. But I'm like, nah, they're fun. No, these English people are assholes. They are assholes. Straight up. Straight up. The epitome of white privilege. Let me tell you something. For all their grandstanding and moralizing about the U.S. these assholes, if they were Latino or black, they would have been dragged out of the stadium because of their behavior. And it's not just blocking the concourses. One way point of entry. No, we gotta wait around here for you to sing a song about Thomas Tuchel, you know?

[Juju Gotti]

Yeah, I got it.

[Jeremy Schaap]

All right. I got two beers in my hand. It's a million degrees here. I can't squeeze past you because you got to get these shots off, dog from the upper deck. Full cans of beer and not even for a goal. For a goal that was pulled away. A dude two rows behind me got clocked in the head with a full can of beer. And this was every. Every time something positive happened. I had a head on a swivel. Because people, it's one thing to throw your drink in the air and have liquid fly. Everyone gets that. Don't go to the Azteca and pick up the worst habits that you saw there. These people were assholes. I almost got into a fight in the bathroom. I'm minding my own business at the urinal line. I go pee. I'm midstream, checking my phone. I've had a few beers.

[Chris Cody]

As one does.

[Jeremy Schaap]

As one does. Some jerk's like, hey, asshole, get off

[Dan Le Batard]

your phone and pee.

[Jeremy Schaap]

I'm like, you want to hold it for me, pal?

[Dan Le Batard]

Shake it twice, you're playing with it.

[Jeremy Schaap]

He's like, oh, I'm sorry, mate. It's just our culture. I'm well familiar with your culture. You're a bunch of drunk assholes at a soccer game. I get it.

[Dan Le Batard]

There'll be no coming into you as far as threats go. You want to hold it for me, pal? Is among the weakest I've ever heard.

[Jeremy Schaap]

Yeah, he stood down.

[Fernando]

I'm sorry.

[Dan Le Batard]

What if he's like, yes, just our culture. Yes, I do. I'd love to. In the spirit of harmony, maybe over

[Jeremy Schaap]

there in England, you can't do the two things at once.

[Dan Le Batard]

Sports brings people together. I would like to hold it for you. The question I want to ask you when they're singing hey Jude, that song is how old Is it 70 years old? Is it 60 years old? How old is Wonderwall? Is it 30 years old?

[Fernando]

Yeah, that sounds like 30 hey Jude. He's not 70 years old. Maybe like 55.

[Chris Cody]

My dad said that the last time England won, and I believe 66, it was hey Jude had not come out yet.

[Fernando]

Yes, maybe like 55.

[David Sampson]

Yeah, it came out in 68.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay, so 58. I mean, that's a lot of years. That's.

[Jeremy Schaap]

That we've given you as a possible answer.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes, you gave me a lot of years as a possible answer. And also, those songs are really old and I do wonder about the randomness. Hey Jude, like I said, your name, your best player or one of your best players is Jude Bellingham. And he is. His name is Jude. So I get that. Wonderwall a little more confusing to me. Even though I too, like Oasis. I love. Yes, I know it's Oasis, but I still. It's. The song is how old exactly? Is it indeed 30 years old? Because you mentioned Thomas Tuchel and I want to get to. He was very critical of the way the English team played. Even though the English team. It looks as good as anybody. The four remaining teams are all giants and Jude Bellingham isn't here for any of the criticism from his coach. I thought he cut right through it, which basically saying. This quote here is basically saying, hey, our coach can BLEEP off.

[Jeremy Schaap]

Thomas has just been quite critical of

[David Sampson]

the performance after the game.

[Dan Le Batard]

Does that show the standards that he expects, the standards you guys expect of each other?

[Jeremy Schaap]

And maybe that there's more to come from the team.

[Dan Le Batard]

Maybe, but maybe he doesn't know what it's like to play in those kind of conditions. Against Erling, Haaland, Odegaard, Noosa, Sorloth. You know, that's not an easy team to play against. So, you know, I think we've tried to create a positive environment. We should continue that going into the Final Four. I can't speak highly enough for the lads. You're not going to win every game popping the ball and making a thousand passes. Sometimes you have to win dirty. And we've done that again tonight. How about Jude Bellington?

[Jeremy Schaap]

He's right about the conditions. I was watching Harry Kane towards the end as tired as I've seen a guy play the entire time. Towards the end. He literally poured everything into that performance and they actually caught a break because it was overcast the vast majority of that match, but it was swampy.

[Fernando]

Well, and what happened with Holland? Like was he hurt or was he exhausted?

[Jeremy Schaap]

What happened to Holland was Sorlov thought everybody paid to see him because There was a 2v1 when Norway had a 1 nil lead that all Sarlov has to do is center the pass to a charging early in Holland and Holland scores at easy.

[Fernando]

Do you believe Sorloth when he says he didn't see him?

[Jeremy Schaap]

How could you not see him? It's a 2v1 counter. I know he's playing out of position, but what are you doing? I can't believe he came out for the second half.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's as if he would have said I didn't see a Clydesdale running down. Do you not see him when he's running down the field? I just love what Bellingham said there. Coach is full of it. Like this guy's pretty hard to play against. I want to ask you guys something that's not being talked about at all. And I haven't been talking about it because every time I talk about it, people don't want to hear what I'm saying. You say the conditions, the players who were playing in Miami during the Argentina game who were cramping toward the end of the game and just the conditions that the Dolphins are playing. And I don't know if anyone here locally is talking about the effects of El Nino and I just. And they're talking about a super El Nino, which means we are headed right now in this next year for unprecedented heat and flooding in our area. Our hurricane season is going to be much lighter than it usually is because our winter is going to be bad because of everything that's about to come through here from the Gulf where we have a storm system coming through that has the ability to have some extinction level events around it. Because what El Nino is going to do is something that hasn't been seen in hundreds of thousands of years. And my question to you, you is how do you talk about any of this in a time where our information is being fractured and our weather systems and the amount of funding that we are doing to study the weather is being cut and people are climate denying as it relates to the specifics of athletes are gonna be playing in unprecedented heat if we keep all of this outdoors. And when Zaslow is talking about a guy getting subbed out, Norway's best players is subbing out at the end of the game because there are limits on how much the human body can give to offense and defense in that sport before even the most finely tuned of athletes who don't generally have any quit in them are saying to you, like, I just can't go beyond this level. I'm delirious. If the heat keeps getting worse and worse, we can't keep doing all of this stuff outdoors, can we? Like, it's not. It's going to be a level of inhumane to do this. None of this stuff is going to get better. It's all going to get much worse. It's all going to get hotter as we're already headed toward unprecedented things.

[Jeremy Schaap]

That's what the Lenovo match break is for.

[David Sampson]

All right, friends, you guys know what a big fan I am of quints. I'm constantly wearing their clothes. I've told you about it. I've got pants, I've got shirts, and it's what's in my wardrobe as I make an effort. Okay, making an effort matters. And it's why I've been leaning on quints, particularly as we head into these summer months, because you need to have stuff that's fit for the season. They're 100% European linen shirts and pants are breathable, lightweight and perfect for the summer. I recently picked up one of their linen shirts. It's sky blue. It's awesome. It's become a piece that I am constantly throwing on without even thinking about it because it looks good on camera, but also it's comfortable when I'm running around all day. And it works whether I'm at the studio or heading somewhere else for work. Everything at Quint's is priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands. Quint has become one of those brands I end up recommending for everything from home goods to travel essentials. So make your summer wardrobe easier.

[Jeremy Schaap]

Tony, you know that moment at a party or at a tailgate where everything just sort of clicks?

[Fernando]

I know it well.

[David Sampson]

It's usually when I show up, everybody goes crazy.

[Jeremy Schaap]

Yeah. You usually take all the credit for it, but it's because Tony usually walks in with Cuervo. Walking like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cuervo is a thing that turns hanging out into this is the night. It has that effect on people. It does. You usually take the credit for it, but again, it's the Cuervo effect. It's like that moment in a big game where everyone in the crowd just starts standing up, hooting and hollering. Keep it Cuervo.

[Tony]

Keep it Cuervo, baby.

[Dan Le Batard]

Down, Levitar. I want to address Tony and all men who would wear that shirt in public. Greg, Corey, don't do it. This is the Dan Levatar show. You guys do understand that when you see what happens in Venezuela where the structures crumble and stuff, all of this stuff is going to come to sports in this little small playground that we make of things. I'm asking you seriously, what do you

[Jeremy Schaap]

think of the match?

[Dan Le Batard]

What is the correct way to talk about El Nino with people who don't want to hear it? Like, what is the. What is the proper way to talk about a storm system that is coming our way, that. That doesn't have anything in the way of precedent?

[Fernando]

What's up, player? I mean, I have my thoughts, but I'd like to hear Jeremy's first.

[David Sampson]

Look, I know Fernando Tatis Jr. Hasn't hit as many home runs as you would expect, but I think he still deserves the El Nino nickname.

[Jeremy Schaap]

I think they all need to be indoors except for Buffalo and Lambeau.

[David Sampson]

Hey, shout out David Sampson, huh?

[Jeremy Schaap]

Yeah, dude. I went to Philadelphia. Philadelphia was way more unbearable than the Miami match was because it was 140 degrees on the pitch. I will say, thank God for the overcast because Miami Stadium was the fifth different stadium I saw a World cup match in by far. And I know why. This is because of Copa America and the fiasco that we had with Argentina, Colombia, a couple years ago. By far the worst setup if you are a ticket holder trying to get in. I was. I had four different ticket stations. I was staged in. You know, that Walmart, well across the street. That was the first staging area and we were all herded like. Like cattle. Like, it was just. It was bad, bad, bad situation. Way too hot to be doing anything. There need to be domes on everything going forward.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm going to throw this your way again, just because I genuinely want an answer from the group on what has to happen on a field when there are heat extremities that I'm talking about that go beyond human limits. We are talking about a heat that is headed this way that will kill people. Not necessarily athletes, but heat conditions that will. Will kill how many of them. Do I have to make it before the question isn't why. Why is Hollande asking out of the game? And the question becomes, of course, how could he not ask out of the game that the heat level and the conditions are something that not even the best of the world's athletes can withstand. They're gonna start cramping because they're not heat conditions that any human being has had to play in it before.

[Jeremy Schaap]

Well, I mean, the teams. I'll try to answer your question seriously. I. The person that suffers the most throughout this, in many respects, especially if you look at some of the college campuses and their stadium situation, are the people sitting in the seats. And I know we're not doing the physical exertion, but in college football, they at least have cooling fans.

[Fernando]

They have fans just getting blasted by the sun.

[Jeremy Schaap]

They have training staffs over there. I do think that some sports have to go, well, more out of their way to make the experience comfortable for fans. And that's why you're seeing the vast majority of new venues have retractable roofs. Because, yeah, it's warmer, especially in certain parts of the country. It's insane how hot it was.

[Dan Le Batard]

But you didn't just try to argue with a straight face that somebody with a beer in section 133 has it tougher than the guy playing in the fourth quarter of a game that he's already played four quarters?

[Jeremy Schaap]

No, I'm not saying that physically.

[Tony]

Physically.

[Jeremy Schaap]

But I don't have a team. I don't have a cooling jacket. I don't have cooling fans. I don't have a training staff dedicated to making sure I don't dehydrate.

[Fernando]

I don't get unlimited water.

[Chris Cody]

And I've also had separate seven beers.

[Jeremy Schaap]

I'm going in. Not just a couple. I'm going out of my way to not. And also, I have to pay $17 for refreshments. You know, it's. It's a difficult situation. And, yeah, it's. It's Part of it, when you see

[Fernando]

how much pretzels are these days.

[Dan Le Batard]

I. I'll leave this subject alone after this. But I am serious when I say it's going to take more than one person dying on the field. Correct.

[Jeremy Schaap]

Before you watch sports, really strangely, it's

[Dan Le Batard]

going to take more. Well, you guys just. You guys just brought up. I don't know how you ignore the number cramping at the end of games, but if I make the heat unprecedented, if I make the conditions have no relation to anything that human beings have ever experienced before in terms of the human beings who are living now, we have to make alterations to some of the things that we're doing before we get to the point that we're all horrified because the consequences that the athletes are collapsing.

[Jeremy Schaap]

Right. So maybe let's not complain about the hydration break. It's a uniform rule and I understand it looks ridiculous when it's happening in Atlanta or Jerry World, but it's a tournament and you have to have one blanket rule for everything. Otherwise it's a competitive advantage. But FIFA had hydration breaks and it's certainly worth it was worth it in Philadelphia and certainly was worth it in the recent Miami Stadium matches.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't know if you saw that. Jake McCarthy, speaking of things that haven't happened in 100 years, has now had inside the park homers as a leadoff man for multiple times in a season and it hasn't happened since 1929. Does Emilio Bonifacio have the only inside the park homer that the Marlins have ever.

[Jeremy Schaap]

I think Kurt Abbott had one.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't recall. These are lead off inside the park homers in the case of Jake McCarthy and in the case of Emilio Bonifacio, it's not the case. And I don't remember anybody for the Marlins having a leadoff inside the park homer except for Emilio Bonifacio. And off the top of my head, I just don't remember any Marlins inside the park homers. But if I ask you the most exciting play in baseball, do you think many people are voting for that?

[Fernando]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Like that. Because it's rare enough that I don't feel like many people are ever talking about inside the park homers in any way for any reason. And so I don't think that, that I think generally speaking, before I had brought it up, if I had just said to any fan or a baseball fan, hey, what's the most exciting play in baseball? I don't believe are thinking of the inside the park homer just because it's so Rare.

[Fernando]

Yeah. I think most people would say play at the plate is the most exciting. Got a guy in seconds, base hit straight to the outfielder. You know, it's like, oh, okay, cool. We got to play at the plate coming up. That's probably it.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah.

[David Sampson]

It's like you actually think of the triple before you think of the inside the park home run because of the exhilaration of that. Like, I always say that the most exciting play that happens consistently is a stolen base, which is why I'm glad teams are stealing more bases. And, I mean, the Marlins are at the top of the league in that. It's really exciting to watch that. But the inside the park home run is like nothing else. I did just see here that one time for the Florida Marlins, Kevin Millar had an inside the park home run, and I would really like to find video of that because. Oh, my God.

[Jeremy Schaap]

What that must have looked like Dan, does this ring a bell? Kurt Abbott hitting two inside the park home runs just four days apart. He stopped Choi does that.

[Chris Cody]

The heesop Choi one. I remember now. It was off the Bermuda Triangle. He hit the wall and it ricocheted in a wild direction and he was able to make it home. I remember as soon as he said he sub Choi. I remember that one.

[Dan Le Batard]

I can't believe what Mike just said. That can't be making that up. You're telling me Kurt Abbott had two inside the park home runs inside of four days?

[Jeremy Schaap]

So you said inside the park home run. I'm like, I remember something with Kurt Abbott. So then I googled it, and Google AI gave me back. Kurt Abbott hit two inside the park home runs inside of four days.

[Dan Le Batard]

That can't be true. That. That has to be bad information.

[Jeremy Schaap]

But, dude, like my. You said inside the park home run. My brain went, kurt Abbott.

[Dan Le Batard]

Is there a possibility that you're being fooled by misinformation on the Internet?

[Jeremy Schaap]

I feel yeah. Is there a possibility that Google AI is confirming what I thought incorrectly? Yeah, positively. Which is why I applied all the context. Why are people dying at games?

[David Sampson]

I've got two Kurt Abbott inside the home runs. Inside the park home runs. One happened in August of 1995, and the next happened in May of 1997. So a little more than four days. But Google AI was close in that

[Jeremy Schaap]

he had two and that there were two.

[Dan Le Batard]

Still had two more than I thought he was going to have. Let's check in with Tony, who is no longer doing drills. He's now just e eating lunch. It's snack time.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, my favorite part of camp with

[Dan Le Batard]

a bunch of nine year olds. Put it on. The poll at LeBatard show was your favorite part of camp Lunchtime. It does look like delicious pizza. Tony, a grueling effort today while doing the camp. What were the highlights? And can you just generally update us on everything you were doing out there? It looks like you're done for the day.

[Tony]

No, no, we're still up. Then this is just lunch. It does taste like water. He's right. The Gatorade.

[Fernando]

Tell a kid to pipe down

[Tony]

now. Good kid. Right here is my star guard. Right here is the Tyrese maxey to our 76ers team. I'm obviously embiid. No, we're going to have an incredible five on five after this. We just had a break for lunch. We did some drills. Team's looking solid. I like coach Phoebe. I like what she's got to say. So we're keeping. We're keeping it respectful around here.

[Dan Le Batard]

Dan, do you want to give us your Conor McGregor thoughts now? You deserve to be ripped off by the way that you supported and promoted that farce.

[Tony]

Yeah, the $9. Oh, my God. How am I ever gonna live without the $9, Dan? That was the funniest part. Like, I get it in a pay per view setting where a hundred bucks is 100 bucks, but I'm paying $9 for 9,000 hours of content. Also happens to be UFC once a month on a Saturday. Like, yeah, I'll get ripped off $9 when he tears his ACL on the first kick. Okay. I mean, it is what it is, right? I feel bad for Max Holloway. This is his biggest paid fight. He's a dog. He wanted to go in there and put on a show for the fans. I didn't really like the way he sounded saying for. For the. The. The trilogy. Get this money. I thought that was a little bit of, you know, poor form. Bad Patty the baddie is an absolute superstar. I'm kind of turning on him because I used to not like him. Now I think I do like him.

[Fernando]

It was a she's in your shot. That girl's in your shot now.

[Dan Le Batard]

Not. Not a lot of respect for your shot there. What is her name there? Who just got in the middle of your shot there? It's. She's. Okay.

[Chris Cody]

We don't have to say her name.

[Jeremy Schaap]

How are you so bad with kids?

[Tony]

Crazy. Obviously. That's why I've been. She's my.

[Juju Gotti]

She's my.

[Tony]

My. Well, not my Jalen Brown because Paul George is no longer on the team. So more of my Jalen Brown going forward now with the Sixers. But we got a good team. How do you like our chances on the 5 on 5. 100 win. Wow. I love that. That's why this guy's Tyrese Maxey.

[Dan Le Batard]

Thank you, Tony. Appreciate your thoughts out there. Enjoy the pizza. I am jealous of everything you're experiencing right now. Thank you for being on with us. Thank you for all your hard work from the heats. Seven and nine year old camp.

For 22 years on this show, we've debated the greatest athletes of all time. Who's the goat in football? Who's the goat in soccer? Who's the goat in hoops? One thing that we all know is Dan's the goat of finding the worst possible take. But there's another kind of MVP goat that doesn't get enough credit. The friend who knows to show up with enough Miller Lights plus extra ice because they just know. The one who already has seats at the bar when you walk up. That is a Miller Time nvp. I've been on this show long enough to know that Dan is going to make everything about his feelings and Jeremy is going to push back on whatever I just said. But here's something nobody on this show will argue with. Miller Lite is the summer beer. The original light beer since 1975. This summer, recognize your MVPs. We all have that one friend who makes every game better. Now it's time to give them their moment. Head over to Miller Lite's social media pages to learn more about being a Miller Time mvp.

[Juju Gotti]

I ain't never met nobody in the world that's done hate on blues.

[David Sampson]

Great nomination.

[Juju Gotti]

Like who don't like Blues Clues, bruh, If you don't like Blues Clues, you're a loser.

[Jeremy Schaap]

Juju Gotti.

[Juju Gotti]

Look, you get one paw print. That's the first clue. You put it in a notebook. Now what do you do? Blues Clues. Blues Clues.

[Chris Cody]

Sit on the chair and think about it.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is the Dan Levatar Show. Juju Gotti is gonna join us here in a moment, but let's get to that bison video that Jeremy and Chris can't shut up about before we go to Juju. And I should tell you, Mike Ryan and Hercules Gomez are gonna be breaking down all things World cup, all things soccer. As now the real fun begins because you really do have four giants. Like just no surprises, just four giants and giant stars. It's just, it's just absurd. You don't. Of the remaining teams, you're not going to be surprised if any of them win. You're going to be disappointed that any of them don't advance because these are the big countries at the end, the countries that tend to win this thing. And so I, I Look forward to our morally abhorrent coverage in the post game with Mike Ryan and Hercules Gomez.

[Fernando]

Mike, only eight countries have ever won the World Cup. Is it a good thing that, you know, only eight countries have ever won?

[Jeremy Schaap]

I mean, we've recently had new winners with Spain and, I mean, France only won their first and like, no one

[Fernando]

from Africa, no one from North America.

[Jeremy Schaap]

It'll happen in our lifetimes. But yeah, it's a. It's a very difficult club to get in. It's pretty exclusive.

[Dan Le Batard]

The margin for winning is so thin that it is surprising that no one sneaks past Argentina. Like Argentina last three games. A bounce goes differently. They could have been eliminated in any of the last three games very easily, and you would have a surprise. But instead you get Lionel Messi. And I do understand all the complaints. It's not even zaz. It's really not even that the teams that they're playing against get suspect calls. It's that Argentina commits plenty of fouls and never gets any yellows. Like they. They don't get penalized for much of anything. In a way that's a little bit weird.

[Fernando]

So you think it was cheating?

[Dan Le Batard]

I just think it's weird. I don't. I don't know whether it's cheating. I can't. I wouldn't accuse anybody of cheating without proof. Like, I'm not going to do that. But it is. I understand how other people who care this emotionally about something like this do find that suspicious because it never happens to them. And they've had three straight games. Three of them. It doesn't mean that they're not doing wonderful things in the three straight games, but they've had three where you could say, yeah, they could have lost that very easily and maybe should have. Let's go out to juju here before we do morally abhorrent things around here in the post game. Juju. Welcome. Thank you for being on with us. We appreciate it. We'll get to the polls here with you in a second. But before we do that, do we have any jokers of the weekend?

[Juju Gotti]

Sir, yes, sir. Man, we got some jokers around America starting with us. Brother, I'm gonna point the finger in with at us Americans. Piles of garbage from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey's wedding are being sold for 25 to a hundred dollars. And they have sold out of all the damn bags. Ain't that a thing, Boy? We wake up America. God, don't start the rapture this time, please. Not yet be bro. Let's talk to each other. We Are the jokers of the weekend. Stop buying these folks trash.

[Dan Le Batard]

Back to you, Dan, Chris, Cody. I think I just saw him mouth. That's cheating.

[Chris Cody]

Well, I mean, I'm not saying I'm with juju that this is sad that we're doing this, but if you would have said to me on the front end, how much would these go for? I would have thought, like 500, a thousand dollars? This is 25 bucks.

[Fernando]

So you think that's good value?

[Chris Cody]

I mean, I'm for 25 bucks just to be curious, like, oh, what do we got here? And it's trash.

[Jeremy Schaap]

Somebody's DNA. I don't like this.

[Dan Le Batard]

For $9, you could have gotten the trash. That was Conor McGregor this weekend.

[Juju Gotti]

Hello.

[Chris Cody]

Hello.

[Dan Le Batard]

Let's update the polls here before we get to this bison video. Juju, have you seen this bison video? Because they won't shut up about the bison video. And they're telling me I'm gonna love the bison video even though I'm. I'm. I don' anything about the bison video except that there's an old man. All I know is there's an old man involved and there's a bison involved.

[Juju Gotti]

Yes, sir. Terrifying. Very terrifying. But the only question I got while I leave watching that video is Jarvis Landry or Ryan Fitzpatrick.

[Chris Cody]

It's the question everyone's asking.

[Jeremy Schaap]

Yeah. All right. We've waited way long to play this video, and I could tell. I asked Dan in his headphones. You haven't seen this video, have you? Because we haven't played it yet. Dan, if you had seen this video over the weekend.

[Dan Le Batard]

Weekend.

[Jeremy Schaap]

It's where we start. And I say that knowing that. Bam. Punch Tyler. Let's play the bison video for Dan

[Chris Cody]

and get his honest reaction for the audio audience. This is Yellowstone Park. This is a grandpa.

[Jeremy Schaap]

They've seen it.

[Chris Cody]

65 years old.

[Jeremy Schaap]

Everyone has seen this.

[Chris Cody]

And his grandson.

[David Sampson]

Yep.

[Chris Cody]

At the park standing what looks like, what, 40ft away? 50ft away. And they have their phones out. They're like, oh, this is cool. Look, a bison. And then the bison starts getting annoyed. He's like, I don't like what they're doing over there. I need to act up off. So I'm gonna start running. And I actually think, right here.

[David Sampson]

Grandpa around.

[Chris Cody]

Grandpa does a good move right here. Because everyone's criticizing this grandpa. He clearly says, hey, grandchild, get away.

[Dan Le Batard]

I will take this.

[Chris Cody]

Because all of a sudden, you don't see Starting about right here in the video. You don't see the kid anymore. The kid has made it away. Safely. But now grandpa is on the run

[David Sampson]

and he's running around a set of trees. He's hiding from the bison. You can see the bison just shaking trees right now. And he's chasing after him again. And now the bison rounds around the tree and then. Oh, here comes the grandpa.

[Dan Le Batard]

You can see the grandpa, but there's

[Jeremy Schaap]

a bison in it.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, he got five feet in the air.

[Chris Cody]

He went eight feet up into the air. Feet at the highest point.

[Jeremy Schaap]

Head over heels.

[Chris Cody]

Head over heels.

[David Sampson]

However cartoonishly you think he flew into the air. It's more cartoonish than that.

[Fernando]

It's like looney.

[Chris Cody]

We have a still shot here for the people.

[David Sampson]

It's almost impossible.

[Chris Cody]

Now this guy is. Okay, he's been joking about this since he did break some bones. But he has joked about this and he did survive.

[Dan Le Batard]

Let's try and get him on as I suggested earlier. That is terrifying. Everything you guys just showed me there is. I cannot imagine the level of fear as that grandfather, who probably hasn't had to move like that in a while, got launched in the air in a. But can we.

[Chris Cody]

But can we give it up to him? Because it does seem there was a moment there of like, get away. I got this.

[Jeremy Schaap]

All right. So Jarvis Landry or Ryan Fitzpatrick.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm not kidding, you guys.

[Chris Cody]

So you can see it's a newer jersey that implies Landry.

[Dan Le Batard]

When I see that old man in the air at that angle, it is the opposite of the Jumpman logo. It is the closest thing I have ever seen in humanity to the opposite of what is youth, athleticism and grace. That is an unbelievable still photo of that man, that hero. I mean that. That grandpa. You said he's fine. Just a few broken bones. At that age, old people die after just a few broken. After a broken hip. That was a flight that that man took and landed from. That he fell from about the. It's the equivalent of falling from building, is it not? Given how high he got thrown up in the air. And I don't. I wanted. I have a thousand questions for this old man. And one of them would be, do you know where Amino Hassan is? Juju, let's update the polls now at. Where's Amin? I mean, every Monday we do the same thing with Amin in this hour. Where's the mean as? Call the old man up and ask him where Amino has it is. Let's update the polls. Juju, what do you have for us?

[Juju Gotti]

And ironically, he looks like Amin when he fell off of the ninja warrior logo. He looked just like my boy. Salute. Man, if he were trying to be annoying. Should Tyler hero press charges? 84% of the audience says, yes, he should. How great.

[Dan Le Batard]

How great would that be, Juju? If the next report on this story was Tyler Herro has decided to press

[Juju Gotti]

charges, I'd be like, yep, that sounds about right. In America is wonder while for the English what sweet Caroline is for Americans. 92% of the audience says, yes, it is. Tyler, do you ever leave voicemails? 59 of the audience says, no, they do not. Tyler, do you ever check your voicemail? 60 of the audience says, yes, they do. Tyler, do you talk on the phone to someone Every single day? 60 of the audience says, no, they don't.

[Tony]

Tyler.

[Chris Cody]

Damn.

[Juju Gotti]

I'm with you, Jeremy. I like talking on the phone. I think that's why all my friends have evaporated, because I'm like, yes, we

[David Sampson]

should talk on the phone.

[Fernando]

Juju the best.

[Juju Gotti]

That's a good idea. And last pole was your favorite part of Camp Lunchtime. 67% of the audience says, yes. And those are your pose, Tyler.

[Dan Le Batard]

So the man who was launched into the air is 65 years old, while Chris Cody threw a giggle, said he's fine. He underwent surgery and remains hospitalized.

[Chris Cody]

So he has joked about it.

[Jeremy Schaap]

And I saw multiple.

[Dan Le Batard]

I did I misrepresent what you said.

[David Sampson]

You.

[Chris Cody]

You were like.

[Dan Le Batard]

But that voice is not. No, what I said is Chris said was. You said you said he was okay. That is what you said. I was repeating a fact. That is what you said. And then I said, he's had surgery, not dead and been hospitalized. That's crazy.

[Chris Cody]

He's made jokes about it.

[Dan Le Batard]

Not dead is different than okay. Not. You said. You said.

[Chris Cody]

You said he broke some bones. He has joked about it. It and he's not dead.

[Fernando]

So if someone's bleeding out and they made a joke, it's like open season for you. Then.

[David Sampson]

No, if you see that still photo of that person, what's okay, I think okay is not dead.

[Dan Le Batard]

Just continuing what it is that is factual here. Chris Cody said, please put up again the still of how high that poor old man was in the air. Again. Again. Let me. Let me just explain something to you real quick, okay? Before this and video was taken, the seconds before were the worst moments of that old man's life. Okay?

[Chris Cody]

He's not a hero, though. If he does go out this way,

[Dan Le Batard]

the moments right before this video of this man being launched, what are we going to say? 20ft in the air, 30ft in the air. Chris Cody has said he is okay. These are the facts of the matter. After the fact, he underwent surgery. He remains hospitalized. And the guy who took the video told NBC News that he stayed in touch with the family. Quote, it sounds like he has a broken leg in several places. The doctor said he'd probably recover, but it's going to be a long recovery.

[Chris Cody]

The gak. By the way, ABC reporting, it's only 8ft in the air.

[Fernando]

When do you think the guy who took the video shows it to him? Like, yo, this came out awesome. Like, when does he show it to the guy?

[Jeremy Schaap]

I don't even think he shows it to the guy.

[Chris Cody]

I don't think they're together.

[Dan Le Batard]

The person recording this, there is no way that that's 8ft in the air. Okay? There's just simply. That's not.

[Chris Cody]

You look at the car behind him. He doesn't seem to be that elevated past the top of the vehicle behind.

[Fernando]

It's like 8ft after he went 10ft.

[Dan Le Batard]

There is simply no way that that is simply eight feet in the air. And getting your leg broken in several places seems like it would be pretty damn horrible. And I will say again, then the moments before that that we're laughing at truly horrifying, the idea that that bison. I don't know how much. Maybe it is eight. Is it eight feet?

[Chris Cody]

His feet definitely go higher than eight feet.

[Dan Le Batard]

So much higher than eight feet.

[Fernando]

I don't want to hear that again.

[Dan Le Batard]

But here's the thing. He is upside down and his head might be at 8ft, but his feet are at 15ft. Like, that's the problem with how horrifying. And it's now video has now found the video of Amin falling down in Ninja Warrior. Thank you, Juju. Appreciate the time, sir. Appreciate the poll updates as well. Thank you. Where is Amin Alhassan? Is that the only Amin that I'm going to get in this hour that we have both sponsored and reserved for Amin to come on and do his World cup observations. Do we believe that he's overslept? Is that what we're going to guess as we can't find Amin.

[David Sampson]

I just got told in my ear he's been kidnapped.

[Dan Le Batard]

Amin is sending word through Alfred Oglesby's people that he has been abducted and couldn't show up.

[Fernando]

Vegas might have gotten to him.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, that's what's happened.

[Chris Cody]

Summer league kidnapped in Vegas.

[Dan Le Batard]

Wait a minute. That's what's happened? Yeah, he was kidnapped by a bottle of liquor. What's happened is I'm sure whatever happened,

[Jeremy Schaap]

Amin won't be defensive about it.

[Dan Le Batard]

But that's okay. So it's Vegas and so it's 8 o' clock in the morning and God knows what Amin was doing. Ok, I forgot that that's where he was. I would have liked to have talked to him about what happened. I'm sure he has some interesting thoughts on what people are saying about Bam. Adebayo punching Tyler Herro. For all that we talked about this, one of the things that we didn't talk about is it's pretty out of character for Bam, like just by leaps and bounds. Weirdly out of character from Bam. Out of bio.

[Chris Cody]

And has he earned the benefit of the doubt? Is I think the point Jeremy was trying to make earlier.

[Jeremy Schaap]

Well, I think. I think there's something to that. When Mark Fletcher punched that guy, I was the first one to say, like, something must have happened. And it turned out he did. He said something about a dead parent. Now, I think this is a little bit different. And yes, it could have been something really bad that we don't have knowledge of, or it could have just been it's Tyler hero.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't know if you guys have heard me say before, but when you're trying to apply logic to things, that's not how rage works. The very idea of rage is, yeah, that's not logical. But all of us even understanding that sports are competitive, all of us are surprised when it's Bam. Correct.

[Fernando]

That Bison had some rage, Dan.

[Tony]

He did.

[Dan Le Batard]

He was pretty upset.

[Jeremy Schaap]

It has to be Jarvis Landry, because they weren't just actively selling Fitzpatrick.

[Chris Cody]

Patrick, he was the backup quarterback, saved his grandchild's life.

[Dan Le Batard]

How about Jude Bellington?
