The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

This week on Good Follow, Juju Gotti and Trysta Krick get to the bottom of why some of the most accomplished free agents are still unsigned going into training camp week. Why did New York not resign Natasha Cloud? Could Tash succeed in Portland, Dallas, or Atlanta? What tattoo should Juju get if Tash heads to the Dream? Next, why did Napheesa Collier sign a one-year contract with the Lynx? Would Cheryl Reeves have drafted Lauren Betts then? Then, Good Follow makes their DraftKings Pick of the Week. Lastly, Trysta sheds light on the truth behind Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe’s split to Juju. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

"We're getting bogged down. Just take 25 dollars out of your wallet." Dan is still baffled by the Kalen DeBoer extension at Alabama, and Zaslow is OUT on 'Michael' movie while Mike is IN on 'Miami Vice '85.' And is Sam Presti the greatest GM in the history of the NBA?

"James was terrible tonight, through and through." Dan says we'll get to the NBA now, but we need approximately 8 more minutes on something else first. We have never seen a player directly go after a referee the way Devin Booker did last night, but who should we blame more for the Thunder's flopping: the refs or the Thunder themselves? Plus, Jeremy gets kicked out of the room but returns to deliver a tight five on yesterday's show. Breathy, though. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

"I'll leave you with this..." After weighing in on Mike's Top 5 Iconic Home Runs In Marlins History, David weighs in on the latest in the Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini story after last night's late-night news dump that Vrabel will miss Day 3 of the NFL Draft for counseling. Is this a PR mistake? Is this a legitimate excuse? Can New England Patriots' executives make Vrabel do and say what they want? Does journalistic integrity play an actual role in the fallout?

"We leaned a little too hard on the mustache." Dan welcomes Jeremy back after a day off with immediate skepticism, Mike spent yesterday afternoon at a Miami Marlins matinee, and the crew dissects the Miami Hurricanes' chances of having several 1st Round Picks in tonight's NFL Draft and learns about communist Spam. (Yes, I know, you already thought the show itself was the communist spam, but, no, no, no, this is new communist Spam.) Today's cast: Dan, Zaslow, Chris, Jeremy, JuJu, Mike, and Trysta.

Hilarious, sharp, and full of boundless energy, Dulcé Sloan takes the reins this episode, and Dan is along for the ride. They revisit her climb to success and her many, many jobs along the way. Dulcé began her career as an actor (the best goose you’ll ever see, by the way) and candidly tells Dan how others pushed her to dive deep into comedy, leading her to the quintessential comedy dream job, "The Daily Show"… only to realize it was just another job, too. She and Dan also talk about politics and their place in her comedy, identity, and the assumptions thrust upon you for simply being a visible Black woman in entertainment. Dulcé is touring throughout the year - check DulceSloan.com for latest dates and tickets. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

"That's why people were saying 'Yo Jalen Rose you went out there and made a Tubi movie'?" We wrap up today's show by revisiting the subject that has hung over the show all week: is Jaws a horror movie or a shark movie? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

"Him and Jemele would do NUMBERS!" The fallout from the last hour continues, and we break down the show's reactions further, including a hilarious Greg Cote moment he didn't even realize happened. Should we bring back Dr. Fred Johnson tomorrow night as the show's NFL Draft expert? After that, Ronan Farrow joins the show to discuss his latest piece about Sam Altman, the dangers of AI, and why Altman is beefing with Elon Musk. Learn more about your ad choices.

"I did not expect that...who could have saw the Lakers going up 2-0?" It's hard to describe exactly what happened in this hour, so we'll leave it at this: Dan was left speechless for one of the first times in his career. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

"I'm a K-Cup man." NBA this, Tiago Splitter that, we all know why you're really here: Greg Cote has Nos. 20 and 19 on his list of Top 50 Catchphrases, and they are DOOZIES. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

"Long gone as a matter of fact. That's how life works." Greg Cote regales us with stories about The Lone Ranger as we learn whether his sidekick, Tonto, was actually Native American. We discuss Dwyane Wade telling people to stop playing on his name, while Trysta tells us the Cam'ron-Jey Uso fight story from her perspective. But the hour eventually derails into a Greg Cote story that ends with his mother finding dozens of dead cats by a river on Bird Rd that does not exist.

"That's not hating, that's hunger." Everyone has a team or player they unreasonably hate across sports, and for Dan, it's the New York Knicks. He also hates the volume of leaf blowers. Also, there's never been an athlete quite like LeBron James in terms of us shrugging our shoulders at THE GREATEST THINGS WE'VE EVER SEEN. Learn more about your ad choices.

"What if the real podcast award was the friends we made along the way?" Mike Ryan proclaims himself the Tucker Carlson of Miami Heat fandom before Pablo Torre joins the show seconds after winning a Webby Award for Best Sports Podcast, and he seems bored by it. Pablo explains his latest stories on The Onion purchasing Infowars, James Dolan surveilling his perceived enemies, Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel's latest controversies, and the evil of Sam Altman. So, a light hour. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

"That's her preference: not knowing I'm there." Was Zaslow actually watching the Carolina Hurricanes and Ottawa Senators during his Tablet Time? Would Miami Heat fans feel like Bam Adebayo is a superstar if he weren't actually on the team already? Should the New York Knicks and Jalen Brunson be worried? Is Dan's pronunciation of "Boricua" worse than the Pirates broadcasters'? We'll answer every one of these questions before Zaslow's wife, Tamara, joins the show.
