This is the Don Leventor Show with the StuGots Podcast. This episode of the Dan Lebatard Show with StuGots is presented by Smirnoff.
Starting point is 00:01:55 We do game days. Please drink responsibly, the Smirnoff company, New York, New York. Oh, I love drinking responsibly. New York. It's the best. I love a little glass of Smirno. New York. It's the best. I love little glasses smearing off with my football. It's just the best.
Starting point is 00:02:08 I like it like Billy does, right there. Put the bottle on the table, let everybody know. We're ready to have some fun. You know what's more fun than anything though? What's that? Finding out who won the sues. Last week was cool, but I wanna know who won. I have to make a confession.
Starting point is 00:02:23 What's that? I already know who won two of the categories because I found out I came in second twice this year. I saw that too because Cynthia sent me our winners and she sent me who was second and third. And I was just like, oh, Jess, so close yet so far. I don't think I've ever won. Silver medalist.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Really? Yeah, I don't think I've ever won. I would dispute that. I think you've won. I don't remember what you won for. I'm going to do research on that. Well, I think I have. It's about this year, obviously, or you would have think you've won. I don't remember what you won for. I'm gonna do research on that Well, I think you're obviously or you would have said you Ethan get on now I have a limited Sui and then I think I have
Starting point is 00:02:52 biggest mistake I have one of each of those. Well, let's find out who won this year's Sui Awards We've made it to the grand finale and now the winners of the 2024 SUE Awards. Best back in my day. Adultery! We are back! We're waiting for this one! Wait, wait, wait. By accident what just happened, I think that's the record. Roy for years has been counting the amount of time that he pregnant pauses there. That was the record because he was looking for his papers.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Because he was surprised that he has it back in my bag. I got a lot of papers here. I'm a busy man. Adultery! Okay, let's be honest about something inherently dishonest. Adultery, infidelity, cheating, whatever you want to call it was so much easier back before technology came along and ruined everything.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Or rather, so I'd imagine the clandestine Casanovas would lament. Cheating was easy once. You just had to make sure you weren't doing it around friends, neighbors, or coworkers. So if you lived in Mayberry, the two of you drove up to Mount Pilot, got a corner booth at the bar,
Starting point is 00:04:07 then a room at the Notel Motel, and called it a night. You were blessedly incommunicado. There were no cell phones allowing any busybody's snoop to record or photograph you. You were completely out of touch until you dropped a dime in a payphone. Now, every text message and voicemail exchange is retrievable.
Starting point is 00:04:26 You think delete search history actually does that? Ha ha, your naivete is so cute. Back in my day, you wrote a fake name in the motel guest book. The board clerk said you're in room nine, Dr. McGillicuddy, and you went on your merry way. Now there'd be an unblinking ring camera above the door ratting on you.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Modern day debauchers and letharios have only two choices. You either give up your cheating ways or you hopelessly bemoan technology and understand that today a smartphone would be pinging your exact location in that dark corner booth as you swing your third Manhattan. I'm Greg Cody and that's how it was back in my day. Best story. David Sampson clogged a stranger's toilet during a marathon. What's the oddest place you poop while running a marathon? It was right before the New York Marathon and where you are staged is a army base And I actually went into someone's house. Wait, it was in the army. It was a veteran
Starting point is 00:05:22 No, no, an active army, like a general. Well, thank you for your service. Thank you for your service. That means. Lucy, you're mortified. And it ended up clogging, and it flooded, and I ran. I didn't leave a note, and I think about it to this day, that poor person coming back after volunteering
Starting point is 00:05:42 for the New York Marathon, and what I left that person with. He comes home. Who shit in my toilet? He's right. Who shit in my toilet? What communist? It's worse. Who shit in my toilet? There's a little nugget, Dan. I chose the master bathroom.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Oh my God. Because it's comfortable. Because it was nicer. What do you mean? Why? You were scoping out the bathroom to the General's house? This is an uncommon horror. Best Limited Fake. Mike Ryan's limited fake Pierce Brosnan in the film Dante's Peak.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Put the town on alert. Best Revelation. David Sampson reveals he cries after sex. Look at him! He's radiant! He's postcoital! Look at him! It's unbelievable! What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:06:27 Postcoidal I cry. You're... what? And apologize. Every time? Sorry. So bat and short. I'm old. Best laugh. Katie Nolan. Very good. Whee!
Starting point is 00:06:41 Worst mistake. Roy Bellamy sounds drunk after the Florida Panthers win the Stanley Cup. Alright, we have made it from Amerenbeck Arena. Oh wow. Jesus, Roy! We have made it from Amerenbeck Arena to the infield, which is a couple blocks down. Celebrate! Celebrate! Championship!
Starting point is 00:07:00 We are going to celebrate a Stanley Cup championship. Greg Cody calls Mike Ryan a giant infant. No, I'm not going to celebrate a Stanley Cup Championship. Greg Cody calls Mike Ryan a giant infant. No, I'm not going to apologize. I wouldn't expect you to apologize. You're a giant infant. You have no control over your emotions. When you're calling someone you know an idiot, I don't deserve it. And you're a fool for saying it.
Starting point is 00:07:22 You're a fool for calling somebody an idiot. Oh, you're locking in right now? You're locking in on us? Yeah, right. Let's drop the gloves, pal. Let's drop the gloves. You should be thanking me. For what?
Starting point is 00:07:32 Every day. For what? For what I've done around this character. And the second shit gets real for you, you wanna come at me and call me a fool? Yeah, no, no, no, seriously. Jeremy just whispered. Seriously, pal. I've added 10 years to your career. You wanna call me a fool? Huh? No, no, no, no. Seriously. Seriously, pal. I've added 10 years to your career. You
Starting point is 00:07:47 want to call me a fool? Wait a minute. You'd be toiling away. You'd be Michael Yarmark. You owe me everything. You owe me everything. You have added 10 years to my career? Yes, I have. This man has. You haven't. That man. Who the hell are you? I am! Who are you? Bullshit! You're a rude young man! You're a fool! I already called you a fool!
Starting point is 00:08:16 You can't call me a fool! You're an idiot again! You're an idiot for dismissing how much I've helped you! You are a fool! You're nobody! You are an idiot for dismissing how much I've helped you. You are a fool. You're nobody. You are an infant. You have no thick skin. Best dismissal.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Stugats dismisses the Kansas City Chiefs. Dan, this time of year, everyone talks about teams they don't want to see come playoff time. I want to talk about a team that I actually want to see come playoff time. I want to see the Chiefs. I want Patrick Mah the Chiefs. I want Patrick Mahomes strolling into my stadium
Starting point is 00:08:47 with max confidence. I want Travis Kelce. I want Taylor Swift. I want the team that lost to Jordan Love. I want the team that lost to Aiden O'Connell. I want the team that trailed 17 to nothing to Jake Browning. That is the team that I would like to face in the playoffs. That's the team indeed that I would want to face
Starting point is 00:09:09 in the playoffs because that team is not very good. Best musical performance, Greg Cody, Yeti Blanc, and Mike Ryan, Puka Nakua. His name is Cooper, good at running curls, but when his hammy got a tear He saw Pooka standing there His blade diminished Hustle take over Nakua hopped into the car McVeigh has maybe found a star And then that Stafford threw him 25 in two
Starting point is 00:09:38 Oh there's a brand new kid in town Out of BYU They call him Pooka, Pooka Nakua His quarterback is not named Tua, yeah he is Pooka, Pooka Nakua Tennessee Assassin, it's the time to cash in, yeah it's Pooka Don't need the go-go What a year it was supposed to be a trumpet yeah for the viewing audience awkward Yeah, it looked like something else. Oh, what a year, dude You know what's funny, but every time I hear I hear different things that didn't hear the first time So for instance was to got's dismiss the the chiefs
Starting point is 00:10:25 I heard in the background Was Jeremy informs me no, I think I think it was Dan He does that move when he spins around when Dan were like he was I think he was like, oh Yep, that's trying to be a hype man for Stu God's and and in the Mike Ryan giant argument, yeah He did he dismisses Peter Yormark. It'd be Peter Yormark. And I just felt like, yeah, that poor guy.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Unnecessary. He's like, hey, let me listen to Levitard. Have a listen to him in a while. So you're saying I didn't win musical performance? You did not. David Sampson, two sues this year. Two time winner. Impressive.

Starting point is 00:13:59 co-owner uh... of the atlanta dream and a vice president right co-owner and vp MVP, and she is also a Metal Arc contributor, Renee Montgomery. I am always happy when I see you. I imagine this is an affliction that a lot of people have, right? They immediately get happy when they see you because you're perpetually pouring sunshine
Starting point is 00:14:20 all over the place? I mean, I wake up happy, definitely, but I was hyped to see Mr. Grump. I haven't seen Roy in a minute, so I was so hyped to see Roy. Mr. Grump? Is that what she just called you? That's her nickname. Yes, because he tries to act like he's grumpy, but he's really happy on the inside.
Starting point is 00:14:35 I'm sure you guys already know that by now. No, they don't. I feel like if I had that nickname for Roy, it wouldn't go over so well. Yeah, that would be an HR issue. But we don't have HR. See, that would be an HR issue. But we don't have HR. See, but Renee sees you more clearly. We do now. We do now.
Starting point is 00:14:50 What? Yes, we do have, we've had HR. Yes, that was fun. I would like to report Chris right now. We do have HR, yes. You didn't know we had HR, Billy? I did not. Why is it news to everyone?
Starting point is 00:15:01 We have some catching up to do. JK. It shouldn't be news that we have HR, but it is nice to see you. It's always nice to see you, Renee. I have a ton of questions about things, and I know you're here for a good time and a fun time, but you did meet Kamala Harris recently, and I don't know whether that was a fun time and a good time. I don't know what that was all about.
Starting point is 00:15:21 How did you enjoy that? That was fire. I mean, she invited us to her residence residence and it was called T with the VP So I was I was with it at that time. We didn't know she was gonna be running to be the president Her residence I mean come on I mean it was fire and so I usually like kind of stay the whole vote vote vote thing and kind of keep it But it's like this is about to be fire if we got a woman there I mean you guys have been guys have been doing it the whole time. It's not been going
Starting point is 00:15:52 You got that so right Okay, yes, I mean I'm trying to put it nicely cuz there is the male Be careful got that right What's the moment where you're like, what has my life become? Oh, you know, I think I have those moments almost every week now. Like even my son, I have to start telling him like, this is not normal.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Some of the stuff, like people that he's friends with and people that he knows that calls him like little homie, it's like, I have to let him know our life is getting beautiful. I mean, it's crazy that once, I was an athlete for 11 years, WNBA, but then once I retired and became owner, like my life then changed.
Starting point is 00:16:34 We know WNBA's catching up now. So when I was a player, it wasn't as flashy, but man, it's just crazy because the people that are at our games core side now, it's just, because the people that are at our games course side now, it's just, what a time. Is that Atlanta that's happening? Is that ownership?
Starting point is 00:16:49 I'm not saying that it's not happening for you everywhere, but when you say to your family, this isn't a normal thing, I would have assumed that that would have happened more as a player than in ownership. No, I mean, WNBA right now is different than it's ever been. I mean, like, and I came in at 2009 to the league, so from 2009 to 2024, everything's different. I mean, even the shoe companies, when I came in, I signed to Nike, I think like 80% of the league
Starting point is 00:17:17 would be signed to Nike or Adidas. Now you got New Balance, there's just so many different now sponsors coming in, and with sponsors' eyes, I mean, Ted Lassoso's at every up. I was talking to him on the phone last week hit the Black people don't know people's names The main character you've seen them somewhere. So my buddy Jared Ferraro go ahead and hit it We ever just call him Turtle from Entourage or Proctor from Power. That's a turtle that doesn't deserve the look at me, Louie.
Starting point is 00:17:50 That's not a big enough. What? Everyone's friends with that guy. Wow. It's a friendly guy. Has this ever happened where you asked for the look at me, Louie? And I've been rebuffed?
Starting point is 00:17:58 No, that's a first. You're gonna witness history over here. Yikes. But yeah, so you talking to Ted Lasso. No, I mean, and that was just like, that's just the thing. Ted Lasso's at so many WNBA games. He's a WNBA fan. I don't know how many A-list celebrities are super stands when I came in at 2009. They weren't necessarily at the games. Maybe Lil Wayne was super standing Skyler Diggins in college and Drake in college for Skyler Diggins, but I could just name them on one hand. You have such an interesting perspective because you've seen so much of this
Starting point is 00:18:29 growth to be in power in this position now where you're seeing all of it explode, but you've been in the middle of it throughout and a whole lot of male ego is coming to criticize and analyze and opine on things that we don't necessarily know about to be a part of the conversation so let's play charles barkley uh... on the bill simmons podcast talking about some of what it is that surrounds caitlin clark i don't know not jack was he going to be slated and i'm a w n b a fan they cannot have
Starting point is 00:19:02 this caitlin clark being up any worse if they tried. People believe what we say on television. Just because people don't like you or your personality, they can't get on TV and slander you. It's just total bulls***. This girl is incredible. The number of attention, eyeballs, she's brought to college in the pros, and for these women to have this petty jealousness. The number of attention, eyeballs, she's bought the cars and the pros.
Starting point is 00:19:25 And for these women to have this petty jealousness, you say to yourself, damn, what is going on here? And the thing I love about her, she never says a word. But these ladies who I love and respect their game, they couldn't have f***ed this thing up any worse. There's been so much negativity and a lot of it is just petty jealousness. Oh my God. What's going on with those glasses, Chuck Soran?
Starting point is 00:19:54 It looks like a grandma. I got some negativity towards Chuck's glasses. Oh no. This is, who are the women that he's talking about? WNBA players? Who are these ladies? It is a good question. I'm just curious, you know how when they be like they.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Just ladies, just petty women. Okay, so there's a lot to unpack. All the ladies. Wow, there's a lot to unpack there and that's, you know, that's my guy. I mean, Turner, you know. It's crazy because I think that there are two different entities.
Starting point is 00:20:21 I think that there's Caitlin Clark and then I think there's Caitlin Clark fans. I think that the human basketball player Caitlin Clark, she's obviously amazing, rookie of the year. You know what I mean? Like this is that simple. Like she's doing things that we see great rookies do. You know, I played in an era of the Maya Moores
Starting point is 00:20:38 and the Candace Parkers. So I know what good and great players look like. That's Caitlin Clark. Then you have the Caitlin Clark fans. I don't know what good and great players look like. That's Caitlin Clark. Then you have the Caitlin Clark fans. I don't know what that is. It's sometimes I think that there's an agenda happening with these fans where I sent out a tweet and it went viral. I had no idea it was going to go viral.
Starting point is 00:20:56 I put out, Asia Wilson is the only one competing with Asia Wilson for MVP. She had just gotten 41 points in a standing ovation from the opposing team. They're chanting MVP in an opposing arena. I'm like, that's new, like I never seen that. I tweeted that out. It went viral in the worst way possible.
Starting point is 00:21:16 The Kaylyn Clark fans were very upset. I'm assuming they thought it was a slight to them, but I would have thought if anything, Nafisha Collier fans should have been the ones mad. She's probably the next closest one, and she's not close. Dan, I'm gonna give you the greatest comp to Caitlin Clark because what you just said, I felt the same way about this guy, rest in peace.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Kobe Bryant, love Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant fans, call them Kobe-stan-ies. I said it came from the great nation of Kobe-stan, and they always support their supreme leader. And so I would say things like, that had nothing to do with nothing. Like wow, what a great, how great is Steph Curry, but he's not as great as Kobe.
Starting point is 00:21:55 I'm like, what are y'all talking about? Who even brought up his name? And so that's what we're dealing with. Also want to point out Charles Broccoli looks like Medea does a podcast. Wow. Wow. Chuck's my guy, I love you Chuck. You can't say I love you to somebody
Starting point is 00:22:09 and then call them Madea. Yes you can. The glasses. You listen to the show? Oh I should listen more, I'm just saying. But I don't know, I just think it's been an interesting growth. For me I love it.
Starting point is 00:22:22 If you have to have thick skin to be an athlete anyway, so they're all in my mentions right now calling me everything and it's like oh that's what's up like well you should you should love it as as an owner now because because this is this part is fascinating to me right the atlanta dream and the wnba in general were at the front of the culture wars in a way that uh may help make renee who she is today and so for you now to see that everybody wants to talk about just wars in a way that helped make Renee who she is today. And so for you now to see that everybody wants to talk about just the culture war between
Starting point is 00:22:52 Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, that is magic and Larry for the modern day. Like you need it to have a bunch of garbage in it where people care unreasonably about some dumb stuff instead of just the basketball absolutely I mean because you got you got a what's going on over here. Oh, you just saw it, huh? Tyler Perry's with the it does a pot you got a fast and there there is that I have no comment. I love you. I love you no comments Um, but I do think that it's like, there's some people that watch sports because of sneakers.
Starting point is 00:23:27 Like there's some people that watch sports because they think the players look good. So of course there's gonna be people that watch sports for other reasons. That's a fine in sports by the way. Your phone ringing. We had a meeting right now. It's a fine here.
Starting point is 00:23:38 It's a fine here. It's $10. Demand it, Renee, demand it from him. It's normally a sound that gets it off here. You know what? Well Jess gets it. I feel like I do owe you money. Rummy, some money. Rummy, ooh, wait.
Starting point is 00:23:49 You want me my money? Yes, so as I was saying, checks in the mail. Yeah, no, for real. I just think that, yes, there's the Angel Reese, there's the Caitlin Clark situation. I don't have a dog in the fight. Caitlin Clark fans should know, I'm all things Atlanta Dream anyway, so I don't really care, in the fight. I mean, like, King LeClerc fans should know, I'm all things Atlanta Dream anyway,
Starting point is 00:24:05 so I don't really care, but I love to see it. Like, I love to see that Angel Reese's games are selling out. I love to see the shy Barbie. I love to see what she's doing. She has her own shoe line, engine A, she's with Reebok. This didn't happen normally to two rookies. So I don't really care. Yes, it's a race where I know a lot of the WNBA fans,
Starting point is 00:24:23 the women's basketball historians like myself, they hate it. I mean, they want those fans gone, but it's just Yes, it's a race where I know a lot of the WNBA fans, the women's basketball historians like myself, they hate it. I mean, they want those fans gone, but it's just like, it's stats. They're a stat to the WNBA now. So players often, when they think they know everything and then they make the transition usually to coaching or just front office, then they learn, oh wow, there's this whole other side that I did not realize
Starting point is 00:24:44 and I did not appreciate as a player or did not fear enough as a player. For you now, you're not only front office, you're also ownership. What are some things you're like, oh I had no idea was like this? Man, I don't even have enough time for that. I thought I was gonna come in and us and me, Larry, Suzanne,
Starting point is 00:25:01 we thought we was about to shake some stuff up. We're like, all right, we wanna do this, this, this, this, this, and then we started to see exactly why that stuff isn't done. It's like, there's rules to how much you can gift players on your team, and we're like, these are professional athletes, this amount is extremely low.
Starting point is 00:25:17 I don't even know what the amount is, it's something below 500. It's like a gift card. Like, you know what I'm saying, it's something I'd give my son's birthday. And so we started to realize that like okay There's systematic Problems that we can't just do right unless we want to break the rules
Starting point is 00:25:32 So then there's two different worlds you got ownership groups that they might not care to kind of push it to the edge and Play along with the the rules, but it's tough if you want to follow the rules and you want to spoil your players That's kind of where we're at. So there were so many things where we would love to do. It's getting there now. I mean, we have private flights now, which is new. I didn't think that was going to happen during this CBA, but the WNBA is growing along with everything. You know, we're 20, what, seven years old.
Starting point is 00:25:58 There's a lot of growth. Like we have room for improvement. How do you think that the new three-on-three unrivaled league might shake up some of the stuff with WNBA contracts and off season play? Well, it won't shake up WNBA contracts because there's the prioritization clause that this is technical now, but WNBA players now have to prioritize the WNBA. If you're not in your rookie contract, you have to
Starting point is 00:26:18 report to the first day of training camp or you could get suspended. So really what Unrivaled does is it allows people to get a check in the off season. I think it's going to be huge. They already, the names that they already have, I think they have 18 of the, how many ever people and them names are unreal. Paige Becker's is already signed on. My UConn pup, her and her, her and herself, it's like they're doing it here in Miami. I just realized we're here in Miami. I only say that because like if they was doing it in Idaho, or I don't know how many players might be like,
Starting point is 00:26:48 yeah, sign me up for my off season. You know what I mean? But they pulled up Sexy Miami. I think it's gonna be dope. Like I'm gonna pull up definitely one time. Are y'all gonna activate around? Are y'all doing something? We have to.
Starting point is 00:27:00 I mean, if I don't get like floor seats from John Skipper, I don't know what we're doing here. The Angel Reese commentary that Stugatz had before you got here, I think is something that you need to hear. Uh oh, what was you saying? Well I was asking Renee if it's really a single season rebounding record, if what you're rebounding
Starting point is 00:27:17 is your own shot. Oh gosh, is he a Caitlin Clark fan? No. So here we go. Sounds like it. This is a stat that's been out there that if you take away Angel Reese's offensive rebounds of her own shots, she will still lead the WNBA in offensive rebound.
Starting point is 00:27:32 How dare you come back at me with facts? I'm sorry. I know that we're supposed to be just out here saying anything, but it's like, Angel Reese is doing some crazy stuff and if people think that it's crazy that she just rebounded her own shots, why doesn't the other team
Starting point is 00:27:45 stop her? I'm mad that she got like 19 boards on us in the Atlanta Dream. I'm like, what's going on? You know that's what she's gonna do. That's how you know a player's great. And Moses Malone did it all the time and we all thought it was amazing.
Starting point is 00:27:55 The funny thing is, it's kinda like the same thing that Chuck was talking about right there. He's complaining, I'm like, Chuck, this is what happens in the NBA all the time. You got a rookie who comes in with a little bit of pizzazz or whatever and Charles Barkley complains about NBA all the time, too So I don't take no offense to it. Have you watched the show? I mean, that's what they do is they complain and so he's complained about WNBA. It's almost like a rite of passage Renee it's not only that he made up
Starting point is 00:28:21 He said a lie. He made up his own stat and said that 90% of her rebounds come off of her own stat. Who said that? Stu Goss? Who's the researcher here that gives him his research? Taylor. In HR. In HR. The researchers with HR. Nice seeing you, Renee. Always nice seeing you. Not enough time.
