The Dan LeBatard Show with Stugots is presented by DeGiorno. It's not delivery, it's DeGiorno. for details. Super Bowl radio. What's the matter? How did this happen? We were just having a conversation. My friend has no communication with us whatsoever. And then he just comes up and starts counting down from five and he points and we're supposed to start. He looks exhausted. He looks terrible. We're all very insecure about how we look right now. It's big for yourself. Couch is feeling all right. Really? Yeah. The couch is feeling good over here.

I mean, Bill is complaining about his hair that he's pale. You guys are complaining. We don't have a makeup person and you're right by the way. We don't have a clock. That's why it does is standing hovering over us. None of us feel very good about ourselves right now, but we should because we're here. We're at the Super Bowl. We're at my home. It's radio row. This is a great place to be. I was made for standard definition is what I. Yeah. Yeah. Hd is not my life. It's why I like the Clevelander everything was a little fuzzier back then you look better back then

I think you look great right now. Oh, right Thanks, dude. Chris. How you feeling over there? I got I love my spot I got a good good vision of the the entrance there for when people are walking in I can see mad dog set Right like I'm not there yet by the way. I'm very shocked. You. You're here before Matt God. Yes. Yep. You're here. I am shocked by that. How are you feeling today, Chris Cody? I'm feeling excellent. Yeah? Yeah, I mean, I actually didn't go too hard yesterday.

Right. So I'm feeling good. I'm feeling vibrant. I only asked that because the last time I saw you, we were on Fremont Street. Brian Baldinger walked by. Juju was dancing in the street. And that's what Radio Row was all about.

I mean, all of a sudden you're watching a concert, a live street concert. That wasn't Radio Row though. I know, but it's what Super Bowl Week and Radio Row is all about. You think Baldinger's here without Radio Row? No, of course not. That's what Freeman Street's all about.

Yeah, it is. We turned the whole street up, like we got there, everybody was silent, there was the graveyard. I gave it a little mingamanga, and the whole party started jumping, baby. You know what Juju did? He did the thing where, you know, the guy at the wedding who's always dancing with the old lady dancing with grandma or dancing with the children, Lee? Yeah, that's my boyfriend.

It's also Juju. Yes, sir. Yeah. A little out of the old ladies around the world. I love you. Me too. All of them? Shout out to old ladies. All of them.

Oh, it's so great. Chris, you had a theory though, Billy. You'll. All of them? Shout out to old ladies. All of them. Oh, it's so great. Chris, you had a theory, though, Billy. You'll love this, OK? Chris has a theory about Fremont Street and the sphere. And I think he is dead on. I think he's accurate. I mean, hey, everyone's talking about the expensive tickets to go to the sphere, all the different shows.

Free 99 on Fremont Street. Every hour, they got a show, a full show. I'm telling you, I could convince somebody that that. I could convince someone that you too was about to come out there Street every hour. They got a show, a full show. I'm telling you, I could convince somebody that that, I could convince someone that you too was about to come out there in an hour. So I told Chris, I'm going to see you too Wednesday night. So for people who don't know Fremont Street, it kind of has this, this.

You're going to see you too on Wednesday night? I am, yeah. Yes. Breaking news. He invited me last night and I was like, you don't have a ticket for me. So the reason this came up is because I do have a ticket possibly if you want to go. The old possible ticket walk down Fremont Street. You look upstairs, they're controlling what it is you see much

like this fear. And so Chris's theory was this fear ripped off Fremont Street and I'm not certain he's incorrect. And then I told him I was going to you too on Wednesday night and Chris responded to me listen bring your you know your wireless headsets What take whatever it is you're gonna take put on you too and I'll put some stuff up there for three dollars and ninety-nine You can just watch you do right here with me. It's a discounted sphere. Yeah, yeah, and it's just as good man Right. I mean I haven't been to this fear. We're we were having a great time last night in our sphere Yeah You guys aren't buying Chris's theory. I'm not gonna lie sphere a little underwhelming. Thank you When we're what do you mean? It looks smaller than I thought it looks so much smaller than I thought and we haven't been to it yet

Or up close to it But when we were landing at the airport yesterday and I took a little picture out my window and I was like, huh, that's it. I feel like I played indoor soccer at a sphere bigger than that. Really? Yeah. You were not impressed?

No, not impressed. But you didn't step inside yet? There also wasn't anything on it. When we landed, it was just mostly black. And I was like, well, I thought there was supposed to be like a little cute little smiley face, like at the Formula One race. Nope, no smiley face.

So we are all saying that the sphere, without taking a step inside the sphere that it's overrated. I've got center. Same thing. Exactly. Same thing. Thank you. I'm not saying that. Dolan invited me to the spirit. Hey, if I see a dead in Co there was stew this summer, maybe I'll change my mind. We're going to fight it. Everyone. Yeah, fight it. Every person is going. Jess is going. Chris is actually coming to a show with me, Juju's coming to a show with me. This is very, very exciting. I invited my dad too, so he's also coming.

Really? Oh, yes. Did your dad name you after a dead song? No, he named our dog after Jerry Garcia, and they were huge dead fans. I thought, there's a song called Loose Lucy that she told me. So I'm nervous that... It would be a weird thing to name your daughter called Loose Lucy, she told me. So I'm nervous that... It would be a weird thing to name your daughter after Loose Lucy. That was my thought too. Well, just Lucy.

Yeah, so I was a little nervous I was named after Loose Lucy. They just liked the name. I'm pretty sure that if my dad had a choice, he would have named me Jerry after Jerry Garcia and summer dog. Aw. Why couldn't he? Oh, we already had the dog named Jerry. It would be weird to have a dog named Jerry and a kid named Jerry.

It's been done. Are you guys excited to be here? Juju, you excited to be here? Yes, I'm the most excited I've been all year. Really? It's February, but just trust me, this is big. It's early. Yes, sir.

So excited as I've been since the last time I was at Radio Row. All right. Radio Row is so fun. I love it. I love it. I love it. And you've got to celebrate this part of it. The Monday morning. It's the comb before the storm.

Just empty tables. Yes. Scattering of shows going on. It's just this is heaven. The people who are here right now are like the real heroes of NFL Media Week. It's 6 AM right now in Las Vegas. And they are out here.

They've been doing their Eastern drive time talk radio for hours. You can see it on the screen right there. Drink that in. See you Maggie Gray. If you do an East Coast morning show, you're starting at 3 a.m. 3 a.m. like Greg Gianotti from WFAN keeps texting me. Hey, what are you doing today? I've done it 7 a.m. I'm like, I don't know. I'm working. What are you like? That's sad. What a start to my day with Ross Tucker being like, Hey, you want to play beer pong later in the week? He asked you that. Yeah. It's ready around. I was just like, let's go.

Where are you going to play beer pong? I don't know. He said the circa apparently something involved with us. He made it seem like it was something I should know about. I was like, you know what man? I haven't heard about it, but I'm in. I'm into like you're supposed to be there? We're supposed to be there? That's what Super Bowl Week is all about. Super Bowl Week. My mom was on radio row next minute.

She playing beer pong with Ross Tucker and them boys. Right. That's what Super Bowl Week and radio row was all about. Michael Barty's over there. The Barty's here. We got the bounty house to my right. We have slot machines to my right. This is very exciting, but no dog yet.

There's a car there, too I know. Well, thanks Billy. They're giving that away here. I don't know. I drive that purple truck. I can be honest with you. I could see you doing that actually. I would drive that. It looks like a car that you'd see on I-95 in Miami. Yeah. I like it. You're right, Jess. It's a stew. It might be on fire, but you'll see it. It'll be there on fire with truck testicles. I wonder what they talked about on the main show today.

You think they have dock rivers on the hot seat? Oh, wow, we should be. Oh, shit. They probably talking about how much they don't like something. The Pablo's there. I mean, it's there. We're probably hating on the hill out of somebody right now. How are they platformed?

How dare them shoot you in rare form. When we were driving in, we were part of the pre-show meeting or we were listening in on the pre-show meeting to try not to be redundant. Right. It's impossible for us to be redundant to that. That's, you don't like to be covered. That might be a good point. Purple trucks? Well, truck nuts.

Yeah. When we were driving in, Danny was watching and updated us and they were honoring Carl Weathers who passed this weekend. And then they were, they were replaying an interview that they did with him in 2017. Really? So he had all these people in to stimulate him. Dan did. And what he did was play an old interview of Carl Weathers. I am so proud of him. Levitor by Ben. This dude gots the strong enough. Yes, that is how you do it. Stu, what do you think about maybe we replay them replaying

the Carl Weathers interview? Yes. Yes. The Matrix. Billy just gave you a point. I think Billy said that one earlier. That's why. And you brought a dire form.

I was looking at him. I'm like, is he going to say it? If he's not, I'm going to. No, he would never say it. And you brought it to your form. I was looking at him. I'm like, is he going to say it? If he's not, I'm going to. No, he would never say that. Your idea. Oh man. You know, it was early.

But do you think of this set? I love the set. I mean, draft Kings, I love the fact that it's right when you walk in. It's the biggest set. We're kind of on the outside looking in now. Like, you know, I like to be on the inside. I'm a bit uncomfortable. Like we have graduated here in a big way, but we're on the outside. So like all the big shows are on the outside, McAfee, Chris Sims, I see over

there. I see Fox Sports Radio, all the national shows, Mad Dog are on the outside looking in. I kind of like to be inside with the local station. They can't win with you. Last year out there, you're like, oh, look at all these big sets. Now they got you on the big set. I said it's the nicest set of any of the sets here on Radio Room. We need to be up in the roof. No, he wants a smaller set.

No, I want to be right. No, no, I want this big set plot right in the middle of all the sets. There we are. If Grandpink can get on that. Maybe a floating set out in the middle of all everyone. That's a good idea. Bounty is pretty close to my heaven right there.

They're building a house here Why you on a second floor? It's got multi elevator. Yes. Salute the bounty You were looking at it Did any of y'all catch any of the Grammys? Yeah Holy moly we're to have that started five in the afternoon. Right. Yes. It does replay though. I saw the best help though, because I was in bed at 745 when it was ending. You loved it. It was fire. Trace and Chapman. Oh my God. Tears can't amize Luke Holmes and Tracy Chapman salute.

I watched that at five a.m. this morning and I was almost weeping. Right. Right. Good stuff. Yeah, man. Fast car. Was there anything like controversial? Like what went down? I really outside of that performance, I didn't see nothing. Those are cat had a couple of slippages on purpose, I think, as usual. Yeah, she loves to do that.

That's her. That's her whole thing. Right. Outside of that, I think it was a great night. Jay Z had a speech about how the Grammys weren't doing right at the Grammys. So, hey, salute. Music's biggest night. I just, I just, uh, I just... Thank you, Chris. Bravo. Well done. I typed in enews.com to, like, see the happenings of last night. And if you type in enews.com,

it takes you to BarnesandNoble.com. What? Yeah. It's eonline.com. Type in enews.com, it takes you to Barnes and Noble. I believe you. What is the is the best like company that you'd want to buy URL for Like the league where they had Dallas Cowboys.com It is wow it does take you to the Barnes and Noble website Being in salute being in to answer your question Billy someone some website where a billionaire is gonna be like here Just give me the domain name I need this huh my football team I know

people who buy up like future presidential campaign names so if they think someone's gonna run for president a couple years they'll buy like you know people who do the rock 20 20 20 or something and they'll buy and see if they can sell it to them. I'm trying to think like have they bought a campaign that someone actually ran with? I think they bought one of the Chris Christie campaigns, but I don't think that. That would be a low ROI on this. Christie was like, we'll just find another way to run this. I'm with Jess on this.

Like how much do you invest in something like that? And how much can it possibly bring you back? I think it's like $15 to like get a domain name. And then I'm assuming you could probably get a couple thousand for the website name if like if You're doing like Nikki Haley 24 or something the commanders Remember the person bottle bottle names when they were switching their names from the oh yeah word to the new one Speaking of the commander is Dan Quinn. Hello. That's weird. Hey, oh We never addressed Chris's a dock rivers thing with the Milwaukee box. I'll address it right now

Oh, wow next he has do it next, too. He has no business being the All-Star Game Head Coach, zero. Wow. And really has no business being the Milwaukee Bucks Head Coach, zero. But they are one in three since Doc Rivers took over. Adrian Griffith should coach the Eastern Conference All-Stars. Hmm. Folks, whether you're hosting a game day, a movie night,

DeGiorno knows that planning a watch party on a budget isn't easy. You need the perfect setting, the perfect squad, the perfect eats, and luckily you're a game time mastermind. And you know that grabbing DeGiorno classic crust pizza can bring home the dub, because it's packed with half a pound of cheese, sauce, and other toppings and comes at an incredible price. Make the game winning call and grab a DeGiorno classic crust pizza from the grocery store today. It's not delivery. It's Dijorno.

The Dan LeBatard Show with Stugatz is brought to you by Bear Aspirant, the official sponsor of Fans Hearts. I love that. Stugatz is getting so upset about who the coaches in the NBA All-Star game. As if you could name like any of the previous NBA All-Star game coaches at Radio Row on Monday. I love it. I'm just so furious about it. I'll get back to that in a second.

Chris has the stages of what we should be talking about on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, leading up to the Super Bowl. That's right. But the All-Star game, and especially who coaches the NBA All-Star game means a lot to me. Okay, Jim. You couldn't even say it with a straight face. I started laughing. I mean, we were having like a really lighthearted like radio row opening segment and you ended it with like a rant about dock Rivers being ashamed of himself or something. How do you feel about the

NBA All-Star Game draft where it's just two people drafting teams? I don't care about that. I just care about who coaches the team. I was hoping you cared because it's the return of East versus West this year. For me it's more about what happened with Adrian Griffin and the fact that Doc Rivers is an overrated head coach. You know who the other head coaches and the NBA All Star game this year? So we have Doc in the East, the Western Conference NBA coach. So it's the guy to say it back to us. This is me, Phillip. You're not going to get it. Making it seem like he didn't understand the question. I'm going to stop or ahead of the conference. So So was it Mike Malone, Debra Nuggets?

You're not going to get it. I'm sorry. I'm not going to get it. I don't think you're going to get it. I don't think so either. Huh. Here's a hint. If we told you the team name, would you get it? G.J.E.W? Never.

Juju. Juju, explain the hint. I still don't think he'll get it. Anthony Edwards. Oh God, who's the Timberwolves head coach? You could give me all the guesses in the world. I don't know who that is. It used to be Flip Saunders. Hey, they should have sent a mean here. He could have helped us with this segment. Yes. But Billy Cunningham, Rick Adelman, all those names mean something to me. Why? Because they coached the NBA All-Star Game, I think. But I don't know.

But you write about Doc, though. He's one in three. How was you to coach at the All-Star team? Like the transitional coach, the the the interim, he won his game. And you came in and stunk up the set and now you're the coach. And that was your meant you was his mentor, Adrian Griffiths mentor. Yeah, what kind of SHIT is this? And Doc's defense, he has come out and been like,

it's ridiculous that I'm doing this. Like, I should send the staff. He's ridiculous. He just says things. Seriously, what's ridiculous? The fact that he's the Bucks coach? Because that's also ridiculous. I'm just saying, at least he's not like, I'm happy.

Like he at least had the right attitude of, I just got here, like the staff should just go. But it's still ridiculous to the point last night the Jazz were up 12 entering the fourth quarter and one by 15 the bucks got outscored 40 to 13 in the fourth quarter Right like this is not just like oh they're getting like they got their ass kicked in the fourth quarter I know can you explain what happened towards the end of that game? Well, no you're talking about me We were at the sports book and juju and Chris were sweating out a big bet that they made.

We had a set of course like you do at the Circa late at night. You have a second half bet on the Nuggets cover 10 and a half. You haven't lived until you have a second half. They went into the half. They went into the half down three. So they needed to win by eight for us to cover. Yes. With 30 seconds left. They're up by nine.

They have the ball. We're like, OK, if they get a bucket here, we are good. So what do the nuggets do? They dribble out and just take the violation. So now the Portland gets the ball back with 12 seconds left. And we're all thinking they're going to just go get an easy lay up and blow this for us. But respect and honor entered the frame and

Chauncey bill of since they dribbled it out they couldn't come back at this point so the Blazers just dribbled it out and didn't go for the layup. So we covered. Yes, to Juju's credit he said Chauncey bulls would not do that. I was so sure. When the other coach surrenders Chauncey surrenders. If it was a men's college basketball game you would have been there for another hour before it ended. Respect and honor is why we covered that. Yeah. Integrity.

Salute to Chassis Billets, man. Big game billets. We were alive. Never been so excited just to see somebody dribble for like nine seconds. Just a big shot. No shot, though. Sounds like you guys kind of got after it last night.

Lucy and I went to bed very early. You guys went out to Freemustry. You went to the sports book. I mean, yeah No invite either. That was kind of hot. You guys did say you're both like I would have I would have appreciated the invite. Yeah, the look in your eyes when we left radio earlier yesterday and going back I was like, I'm not bothering them sisters. They will bite me We would have been so early. I was in my jam jam. It's by like 645. Well, you really? Oh yeah. But Lucy, you were telling us you watched the Grammys twice, but I had no idea you were watching it the second time.

So I just like pulled the Grammys up and then it was like, I went to bed at probably like 830, 845, and it was like 815, and I was just watching the Grammys and I was like, man, this is, they've been going for like three, four hours at this point. And then I had realized just now when you said they repeated it,

that I was just watching the beginning of the Grammys again. Nice. Didn't even notice. Are you guys excited for the football game? Yeah, which one? Excited for the Super Bowl, for the 49ers, for the Chiefs, for Mahomes. It's early.

We don't have to talk about that today. No, I'm just wondering though. Yeah, I don't want to blow all my Super Bowl content out of London. We're not blowing all the Super Bowl content, but we are at the Super Bowl. We're on radio row But opening night hasn't happened yet. I can tell you right. You're right. That's fair The afterglow of the Pro Bowl is still on I would like to go to media night tonight if you guys want to go at the stadium Yeah, we all have to go. Whatever you have to go. I'm obligated to be That's why I'm here would you go if you didn'tated to be. Yeah. I'm just choosing to go. That's why I'm here. Would you go if

you didn't have to be there? Maybe not. That's a good question. The open mics are a problem because I'm just cackling into my mic right now. Normally, if we're in the studio, I'll just turn it off. This whole, I now I don't know what it's like to be stew on Godless football. Just laughing into my mic all day. Thank you. You crack me up. What are you distracted by? I'm not. I'm wondering. You're not looking at anyone. What are you looking at? I'm just looking to see who's here. Friends are here. It's what you do on radio. You just see who's walking by. You might ask him to come on. Did you see your friend from last year's here? Tony Bruno is already here hanging out.

I already did an interview with Tony Bruno yesterday. I want to see my dad. I already did an interview with Tony Bruno yesterday. I walked in and I see my dog. Yesterday. Yesterday. Salute to Tony Bruno. That's my dog. Sunday night because he's Tony Bruno. Because he never stops.

Show business never stops. Right. No. And also, but on the football game, I hope Travis Kelsen and Taylor Swift win this game so bad just because all the haters that don't like Taylor Swift, I want y'all to drink it in all summer long, daddy. Get them Taylor Swax surf.

Let's call it a Taylor Swurf. Let's call it the Travis Kelsey fade. Let's call everything it. I'm with it, brother. Take over. Choo Choo, I think one of the problems with what you just said, and I guess some of the reason as to why people are annoyed by all this,

Taylor Swift isn't winning anything if they win the Super Bowl, right? But you're just like, I want Taylor to win the Super Bowl. Taylor was the biggest winner of this NFL season. Right. She's wins love. Well, no, the NFL was the biggest winner of this NFL season. Or Travis Kelsey. They both won. Taylor has an album coming out in a month that she announced like yesterday. The publicity was good on both sides. Yes. That was mutually beneficial. Yes. I didn't love that part of it. I saw that clip of

the Grammys. Taylor went up to accept and she's just like, my album comes out and I'm going to tweet out a picture. It's like, where's the thing? I don't beneficial. I didn't love that part of it. I saw that clip of the Grammys. Taylor went up to accept and she's just like, my album comes out and I'm gonna tweet out a picture. It's like, where's the thing? I don't know, I just felt like that was a little, okay? Those are 13. Efficient. And she said that. She's run out of people's things.

The first thing she said, this is my 13th Grammy. I was just like, that's a power. Her look at my bird. Balloon. What if Patrick Mahomes- What if you don't know it's my lucky number? Did she say that for real? Yeah, she really did.

What if Patrick Mahomes was a Super Bowl and he's like, this is my fourth Super Bowl. I'm in the interview. People be so mad. I hope he does that. Now, Stu, I do have a breakdown of what they should be talking about. I don't know who the T-Wolves coaching. I gave him an extra one. All right. I'm saying we don't have to do it now.

Personal record. I do have a breakdown of what we should be talking about each day. Wow. All right. For me, Monday is unit talk. Right. We break down the units. What? Who has the best D line? Who's got the best receivers? Okay. This right Tuesday for me is head coach debate. Okay. I mean, this one's kind of actually, this is a tough one. I mean, everyone loves Andy Reed. Kyle Shanahan is coming for his stuff. Well, get there already. Right. I'm just saying. We said that in 2022.

How about you take some of his stuff? Exactly. Take a thing. How about not all his stuff? Just a thing is fine. When you were just two guys, Kyle Shanahan, blah, blah, blah. Really? Brock Birdie, blah, blah, blah.

I think we're just bored with how great he's been. That dude is good. Good. Not great. I mean, Andy, I mean, I think we're talking about the two been good. I mean, I mean Andy I mean, I think we're talking about the two best. I mean Tomlin's in there the two best head coaches Mondays units Wednesdays we get to this is kind of a boring debate in this Super Bowl quarterbacks right that's that's that's Wednesday I got a whole hour and a half on okay but not really yeah yeah Wednesday

Thursday we do who wants him for okay okay it's just about like no more X's and O's just who wants it vibes Vibes, 40 minutes. And then of course Friday, predictions. I mean, that's what we do. It's a good run of week. So that's you guys want to stick to this schedule? Yeah. So at some point in this show today, we'll do units. OK. Yeah. So everyone think about your favorite units. G. You know, yeah.

Unit solid. 50 cent. So how do we do units? Just explain this to the crew here. I think the DB's for the chiefs are just really going to answer the bell. So we're each going to pick out our favorite unit from one of these. Just to be clear, you said we're supposed to talk about units.

And then he asked you and you're like, I just made that up. Did you prepare a unit? This is your idea. I'm not giving out the good unit stuff now. OK. When are we going to get to it? We're prepping the unit. Are we doing unit talk now?

No, no, no. We're running out of time for today's show I think we say yeah started. I think we only have a segment left in today's show, right? I believe so next time we can do backers in that unit. Mike. This looks confused. We will all say we're doing two hours today apparently Well, that's that's why don't we double this for Wednesday? We're not gonna do quarterbacks. Are you all do just gonna do quarterbacks? We give him half the show. Yeah, that the other half, we finish. That's Wednesday. Yeah. Juju doing an hour and a half on bro.

I would love to listen to that. You know why my suit? On Brockbury. I look at Juju. I'm not certain you can do five minutes. I say this respectfully. I don't know if I could do five minutes on Brockbury. What's better than Mr. Irrelevant going from the last pic.

Look, don't get me started. That's for Wednesday. That's for Wednesday. Yes, sir. But I want you to just date. I want you. Sorry. Never be dying. That's for Wednesday. Yes. But I want you to just date. No. Sorry. Never be dying.

That's why I say sorry. Juju, on Wednesday, can we try to have you talk 90 minutes straight about Brock Burney? Yes, you can. We can start with 90 seconds. Not to put too much pressure on him. He offered 90 minutes. I'll take it. Why are we starting the Monday show being mean to Brock?

No, I just, I have niceness for him. That's why. I think he should be celebrated more. I know why Lucy is. I'm a hater. I think he should be, I think we should put him on the pedestal because he's a hero for children everywhere. You don't have to be the number one draft pick to make it to the Super Bowl and go against Taylor Swift and have a whole army of Swifties.

Alvin, your ass, like, look, 90 minutes. I agree with Stephen. He can do it. I believe in him. I agree with Stephen. I agree with him. I agree with Stephen Smith where I saw a clip of him. This is a game for Brock. Brady if he wins against Patrick Mahomes here, we have to respect him.

Absolutely. Whereas if he doesn't, we can kind of just put him where he is now. Like he's a fine quarterback, but we don't know if he can for Wednesday. Yeah. He has to do our unit. Quarterbacks are a unit. They have to beat the Chiefs.

That's a good point. And Perti has to be the reason that they beat the Chiefs. I mean, he's the reason that they're in the Super Bowl, in my opinion. Those late game scrambles are what we want at Lamar to do. No, but I'm saying for him to get Max credit, Max respect, you have to beat Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl, but be the reason that you beat Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl. Meaning it can't be McCaffrey, the defense, or anything else. It has to be Brock.

So everyone has to play worse, but he has to play better. He just has to play great, yes. Yes, he's got to be just... This is going to be a great topic for when you just have to be perfect. You don't get it. Yes. He also looks like Dana Carvey from Master of the Sky, turtle turtle, but that's neither here nor there. The Dan LeBetard Show with Stu Gotts is presented by 1800flowers.com. It is really a scene here at Radio Row in Las Vegas. People are filing in. I mean, Billy says it every year.

Monday, Radio Row, not a great day. This is our first actual Monday here. I kind of dig it. I can kind of see what's going around. By the time people get here, I'll be like that person that's been at the hotel like a day or two before and I'm like, look, here's the water slide. This is where you do this. This is where you do that.

Sal Palantoneo, ladies and gentlemen. Sal Pal's here. Sal Pal's in the building. Where? Where? About that. Right behind ski. Wow.

Oh, there he is. Well, the Super Bowl has begun. Sal Pal! There he is. Oh, I keep blocking him. Hey, Sal. How are you, sir? That's what you do. That's what it's all about. Radio Row Super Bowl week. You just wave. That's it. He has no idea who you are. He does know who I am, Sal. How are you, sir? That's what you do. Radio. It's all about week. You just

wave. That's it. No idea. He does know who I am. I'm not certain he likes who I am, but he does know. Do you think you know what? I'm not. I want him to walk away a little bit. He's about his teeth. But they're well, Lucy, you're making a face. I'm not making any face. I'm not making any comments. I don't know what you're talking about. When I joined the Levitarch show, I found out about so many beefs that I am now like by association part of with people.

And I didn't know that was one of them, but now I do know. It is. Lucy, you again, you're making faces. I'm literally not. I'm not going to comment on anything. Have you had any bridges burned professionally, Jess, because of the relationship now? Well, I had one bridge burned professionally,

but we've already talked about it on the show. It was a while ago. It involved someone who sang a song that was on before a football game every Sunday night. Oh, yeah. No, but that wasn't because of this show. No. I'm saying has this show cost you anything?

Well, I did get in a fight with like Mark Slareth randomly once, not like a real fight, but like we had a back and forth. And I didn't realize that I think he automatically was like, didn't like that I had LeBetard show in my bio. I don't know. I happened a while ago though. So I don't the details are fuzzy. But I remember being like, oh, so the man 101 thing was not

like, he didn't think that was funny. He didn't find that out. Yeah. You're welcome. I feel like you have't think that was funny. He didn't find that out. Yeah. You're welcome. I feel like you have a good relationship with stink. I don't know. Like really? The least few times we've asked him to come on he has said no.

Well. So I'm not I'm not certain where I stand. The proof is in the pudding. There's Svioka. There's slot machines everywhere. Yeah. Like there's slot machines. I know but we're here at Radio Row and there's slot machines behind us.

I feel like they're just looking to get, like, can players like bet on slot machines or not? Like I'm confused about that. I just Googled it. It said non participating team personnel can play casino games, but can never bet sports or go to the sports book. But I, if I were to play or participating team personnel, like the chiefs in the 49 they are staying like 40 minutes outside of Vegas and they're not allowed to step sports book related or you can't step out of a car and not be in a sports book here I know

everything is that like we're we literally like we're walking through circa to get to like the car every morning like it would be hard to stay there if you were a participating team personnel. This is my first time in Vegas. Is it really? Yeah. This place is, this place is wild. It's like, I'm just, like, I got here at night so I didn't see much and we drove and it was still dark so I still didn't see much but like the sun was coming up and I just saw like all the buildings. It's like a little kid was in charge of designing a city. Like there's a castle someplace, there's a pyramid, there's a Sphinx.

But what's inside of all of them is not kid friendly. No. Right. But you're right, it's like a kid design. There's a roller coaster. A little magic world. I know. We were coming up with a little bingo card, not to spoil anything.

By the time people listen to this, it may already be like on social, but we were coming up with like a little bingo card of things that are going to happen this week, Billy. And if I had C-bo boobs on the bingo card, we would have crossed that one off five minutes to log in down free monster. Where's C boobs? But are you put it on the poll? Are you seeing the boob if there's a pasty? So it was a woman. I'm not putting that on the poll. She was dressed as a nun. You show it because then the Miami people will see him be like, what going on There was a woman and she was dressed as a nun And so she was covered head to toe except for her tits. So it was like a

Specifically designed so just her tits were out. Huh? It was a it was wow. Hey, oh Mary over the nipples Was she was like doing work was she affiliated with a church? Like what was one people to take pictures with her, you give her $5 and you get a picture. Oh, it's a gorilla. Yes, they have the way I literally that business is not seem sustainable. I mean, it's new. This is new. She probably makes more than we do. Oh, stop it. They have little circles where you like can stand to like panhandle or like play a song or use they didn't always have those circles used to kind of just be able to like if I got a guitar

I can just plop here They like control now how many people they have of them by little I don't know if you have to pay rent on these circles Or if like once they're all filled you just can't do it. It was so weird like they put these people in little circles I like it though. We should do that Stu guys.atz. Why? Just go out there, meet the people, get some subscribers. If you two just get a circle, just giving hot takes to people. Yeah. Oh, God bless football. Build up some subscriptions. I would be absolutely doing it later today, Billy.

We'll see. Seems like a quick turnaround. I can't believe this is your first time in Vegas. I'm shocked by that. Why is it striking? Someone had not bet a lot if I'm in Vegas. I figured everyone makes one trip a bachelor party something to Las Vegas.

Now, Lucy, is this your first time in Vegas? No, I've been to, I was here for the NFL draft like two years ago. I spoke so many cigarettes. Did you real so proud of you? Really? I could use one right now. So many cigarettes and then all my coworkers got COVID except for me. The chain smokers have a residency right now.

Salute to them. Check them out. Do you guys has a residency? Wait, did you guys read that? Like I think smokers and marijuana smokers, they were less prone to get COVID. I did read a study like that, but I don't feel confident in repeating it on air.

Because I didn't do the research. You know what COVID taught me? There's a lot of studies. So many studies. So many studies and you can find one that helps you believe whatever you want. So stew chain smoking with the chain smokers has to go on the bingo card then.

Not to be looked neither here nor there, but I have not got COVID yet. Not really. Not this week. I've never gotten it. So and I do partake. So I'm not saying this facts or fiction. What else is on this?

You're also not promoting the usage of. Right. Not promoting neither here nor there. What else is on the bingo card? Can we say it? Or is this like a private thing between you and Chris? You're just checking it off as it goes We're we're thinking of making an actual one because there is a lot already like going over on the per diem

That is on the bingo card did that already. Yeah, what's what you get? We had lunch yesterday Oh, I thought lunch was covered time out. You had lunch and went over your per diem We don't have us a particularly large per diem. I don't even know what that means or what per diem means. I'm not going to tell you and that way when you go over you can just be like, I don't know. They've never given me extra juice. I always pay for everything when I go places.

Right. You should get it in your, it should be like an automatic, like the way you get paid, it comes through that way. It's not like, oh salute. Right. You should get it in your, it should be like an automatic, like the way you get paid, it comes through that way. It's not like, oh, salute. Wow. So you have a certain amount of money, Juju. You could spend every day. It seems like Juju's owed some money here. I took care of that burger last night. I'm just going to stick around stew all week because I know whatever we spend, he'll get away with it. Yeah. Oh man, I have attacked my mini bar. I don, I have attacked my mini bar.

I don't have anything in my mini bar. I don't have any water. Are you in like a suite? I have two waters, too, and I was wondering if that's free or if that's charged. I took one. I took the hell out of the waters instantly when I got back. I'm going to guess it's nothing is free.

Well, right. It's probably $30 each. Well, that's half. One more than half per diem. Wait a second. What is the per diem? Can someone tell me what it is? 50. It's 50 dollars.

Don't worry about it. It's Vegas. Not for you. That's what we're sticking around to. You have different arrangements, two guys. You have a different setup. Well, I've been paying for everything, man. I paid for my first night at the hotel. What are you guys talking about?

What? I did, yes. Well, that was because you got here earlier. I got here outside the window. How big is your room? I got here outside the window that we were supposed to... Nice. Yeah, how many square feet is your room? It's big. I'm not gonna lie to you guys. It's bigger than my apartment. It's on the 50 second floor. My room's bigger than

my apartment. People where you're staying. It's too. 50 second floor. All right. Why are you doing that? I mean, Billy, do you know the layers of security at the Circa? I have never felt more secure than you do there. Right. So Right. You got you say it's a level security. You just show an ID and you get to let it. No. What do you mean? No, you have to put your key in the thing to get inside to the elevator. I thought you meant to get inside. Don't tell people what the security is.

Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm so. Friends talking. Last year. What's the matter with you guys? No, we're on air. So last year we stayed at different. 54th floor is what I said. We stayed at different hotels.

At the win. Right? Last year we stayed at different hotels. So, Juju, Danny and myself were at one hotel. And Stugatz was at another hotel. We didn't know Stugatz's hotel situation until the last night that we were there. It wasn't a hotel. Dude, he stayed at like a ranch.

It was like, it's like we're rich, it's called positive something and you know it's like. In like Scottsdale? It was ridiculous. It was like, this is like one of those fake wellness retreat places that like rich people go to when they're like in rehab and it's like let me just go to like a really nice place. It was absurd. Right. There was villas everywhere. I was embarrassed. You were not embarrassed. I was embarrassed. You were not embarrassed at all. Oh my God, shut up. Did you play golf there? The NFL media hotel is usually like the airport Marriott. This year it's the Luxor. And it's like it's next door to us.

And you guys have already talked about the giant Dorito, but it cracks me up that like Peter King's walking around the Luxor like staying It's a smoking hotel. It's old-school Vegas. I kind of wish we were at the media hotel, honestly Me three. It would be fun. It's a fun bar to go to. People watching is probably great. I doubt Peter King's actually staying there. I forgot to buy Peter King a present. I was gonna buy him something and I didn't because we washed dishes you're supposed to buy him something a scrub daddy I was no not a scrub daddy I was gonna get him like it's a no it's like a you like turn it on and it's like a spinning like I know what you're talking about I have one of those for

like the baby bottles and then when I was washing dishes talking to him I showed him he's like that's great my birthday is June 10th can you get me one oh you got time well no I was just gonna give it to him here because he's gonna forget by June 10th can you order it I was gonna Amazon Prime it to my hotel and bring it to him but then it's also weird to just show up and be like hey remember me here's a good bit though and we're doing everything for content this week is it what's on the bingo board week. What's on the bingo board? Well, the proteums on the bingo board, what else is on the bingo board?

Well, your complete control, it sounds like a... I know, we need to fill the whole bingo board, so we need to come up with more bingo board topics. Huh, somebody getting us in trouble. Dan Tony, not it. Dan getting frazzled when he sees our setup. His name runs as Mon Reed. I was trying to put it away.

I'm going to make one of Tony. You guys just forget that. Like we're on the microphones. We're going to hear all of these things you're complaining about. Complain. Who's complaining? Predictions. No one's complaining. They talk. You were happy to. I like the most important unit. I think it's the chief's wide receivers. I think someone from that. Someone from that crew is going to have to have a game or they're going to win the game for the 49ers.

Do you guys do you guys hear Mike Flentes every time we bring something up that he doesn't want us talking about talking in your heads at saying move on from this. He said that to me 10 times already. He's like stop talking about that next topic. Tell everyone else that he's also coming to me apparently times already. He's like, stop talking about that next topic. He should maybe tell everyone else that too. Well, he's also coming to me, apparently, to get control of this situation.

Maybe Mike has a lot to us though. What do you want me to say? Mike Flentes says you can't talk about that. I just got to talk about it more. Mike is telling me move on from the topic of Mike doing a bad job producing the show. Tomorrow, head coaches. Wait, I want to, Billy, what are some of the things

that Flentes has said in your head telling us? He didn't like the per diem talk at all. He didn't like that. Not a fan. We're putting it on the social graphic bingo board. So I feel like that means it's fair game. And I like your boots, by the way, sister. Thank you. I like your shoes. Thank you kindly.
