The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - Local Hour: Where Donald Trump Is Right

Episode Date: February 12, 2025

Dan attacks the audience off the top of the show for their latest submissions to a sponsored call line and calls them a "never-ending river of shit." It's time to welcome Tony back to the show, and as part of his grand re-entrance, it seems Billy has pranked him. Then, Dan, Stugotz, and (parts of) the Shipping Container praise Donald Trump for two initiatives it turns out they agree with... Guess who finally broke out of the echo chamber? Plus, Tony delivers his Top 5 Miami Smells, the crew questions what cocaine smells like, and Roy makes an all-time mistake with his pronunciation of the word "arepas." Also, Stugotz wonders why we aren't celebrating Jalen Hurts more after his Super Bowl victory. Today's cast: Dan, Stugotz, Chris, Jeremy, Mike, Roy, and Tony. Learn more about your ad choices.

Yeah, I'm on it that we've started and that they're really loud over there having a lot of fun not working Because they can't wait to get into the chat and not work Get into the chat when the show starts. Mm-hmm and just fool around. I'm concerned for for a reason. Okay, okay, and I hate to Hate to say this out loud or for anybody to know it, but I would say that the most vibrant time in this show's history was when we had a connection with the audience that had them sort of competing on Clever in a way that reached us during the show, okay?

And a lot of people have been criticizing us for a while now about like, their show is not as good as it was, none of them are as good as they used to be. It's all suck, they're suck. And I have found that when we try to sponsor something that then requests creativity of this audience, what we get to the take line, the bold take line,

is just a never-ending river of shit from our audience. Competing. I like the Gold Cutts one. Competing on Clever. Like, the looks like game is the audience competing on Clever. And we've opened up a phone number that has the four religious letters of gods in it.

We purchased that. That's expensive. You're talking to the audience, right? Of course I am. The audience we had was, and I'm not, you know, I'm scared to admit this out loud in front of anyone, I hope no microphones are near us. To think that Jim Roome's audience might now be more clever than ours, because I throw

out a take line number where we buy the Gotts number and all we get is a never ending river of shit from our audience. And then we have to sponsor it. Then have to go to the sponsor and tell the sponsor, hey, you want to sponsor this river of shit that our listeners, the smartest in the land, the smartest in America, the smartest in sports, our listeners are just gonna produce a never-ending river of shit takes. But you're insulting them, like, over the air.

Like, with Jim Roem, he says, like, have a take come strong. And it's always been, that's been the edict from the very beginning. You just lazily toss out a number. So maybe you do need to come a little stronger, but without taking personal shots. And also the cold cuts one wasn't bad.

They are creepy. Come a little stronger, have a take, come a little stronger. Give some direction is what Mike is saying. Have a take, come strong. Throw in a couple of phenomenal. And he's got like a whole like, there's a cadence. Like, hey Jim, thanks for the vine. Like you need to establish a cold cut.

Help me with this. Tony, welcome back back Tony your microphone broke Billy had to rig that This is the Don LeBattor show with this two guts podcast Welcome back Tony Hey Hey Dan. Thrilled to have you. This thing, this is clearly sabotage. The reason why I know it is sabotage. It's Billy's. It's Billy's A. And B, your honor, there is a obvious screw missing that connects both of these little arms to this thing. Right? And that's how you tighten the bolt here. The screw's missing, yeah. Alright, Tony, welcome back. Please, this is what I'm gonna ask you, okay? Because

over the last four years there are a number of ways that my resentments have sort of spilled out of me in ways that are unpleasant for everybody. And what I am going to tell you now, and this is something I should have told you to your face in a private meeting a long time ago but I have told you a couple of times your movements in the back row since you got here with those microphones is always loudly noisier than anyone else who works for us in terms of readjusting your microphone noisily. And so when you come in today after a month off and your first action is to grab a microphone and have it fall apart in your hands

because Billy knew you'd come in and immediately be too handsy with a microphone. Because Billy's got the same ear the rest of us do, which is if there's a bad sound somewhere that someone's producing, we're going to notice it. But if it's you, he's gonna notice it every time. And so that's an obvious act of sabotage there, and it succeeded.

Billy, in spirit, has already sabotaged today's show. It was an absolute booby trap. And Dan, I don't think I grabbed the mic any other way than everybody else does. Like, Mike does the same thing, we both, Dan, we both grabbed the mic. Like, I think that's something that you're heavy-handed with. I will say you're heavy-handed with it I will say

I've also noticed it of Mike and I also haven't said anything to Mike because Mike's got a lot on his plate at the moment you have been off for a month Mike has a lot of on his plate at the moment like Dan well like what are we talking about Tony as a baby I understand not needed to bring that baby to work. He can take care of that baby. I don't need an Allen wrench, I need a screw buddy. Take care of that baby when you're on the baby's time. When you're on our time, don't grab the microphone.

But then why does Mike have so much stuff that he's dealing with? Right, Mike has so much stuff that he's dealing with because we're trying to carry a company during business development and we have some problems here because we've got to adjust to, hey, it's just us these days and somebody just had a baby and Tony's gonna be gone for a month.

Tony, we need you, every orifice in this company needs you. We need you over here in MMA, hang out, but you gotta go take care of a baby. How long should paternity be? What's happening back there? Well, we get three months, Dan. I did a third of what I was allotted so it should be Tony think let me get the sound No, put it through the no give me the screw Taylor clearly doesn't know he doesn't fix anything in his house

He's a guy that he probably asked Maddie to come over and fix stuff for him They usually live in the same apartment building there Tony welcome back I have a number of things that I want to talk to you about today. I have been waiting because I was told you were coming back today. I did want to talk about the MMA events of the weekend and just everything that's happening around MMA as Donald Trump and Joe Rogan are at the top of a community that when it was here in Miami, Sturgots, I told you here recently, I felt very alone

as a Cuban-American at wanting to watch the fights in Miami because what surrounded me was very welcoming to all things Trump and that has won in America and MMA continues to win and Dana White is more powerful by leaps and bounds than he has ever been. So I wanna talk to Tony about that stuff in a second. I also wanna salute Donald Trump. I don't think we need pennies either.

That's a good idea, I think. I ain't got a low key. With a paper straw thing. What type of salute? I am telling you right now that if it costs more, now I don't know the consequences and repercussions of half-baked ideas, so this may still be a half-baked idea because I don't know the consequences of taking 99 cents out of a price and making it only nickels because now you're eliminating the making of the pennies.

But it costs more to make the penny than the value of the penny, and we can all agree that that seems silly, right? I am good with no more pennies. Yes, that is ridiculous, it is silly. I am good with no more pennies. I never take the pennies. When you give me change, I say keep the pennies.

Right, and so change. You don't say keep the change? Well, no, not just the pennies. Keep the pennies?. You don't say keep the change? Well no, not just the pennies. Keep the pennies? No one says that. No one says that. Keep in mind you'd give five grand if you won a $50,000 check.

So when it's 88 cents, they get three pennies. Every nickel counts, man. So you're really, hold on, hold on. Five grand on a 50K jackpot. You're making it difficult for them. That's what you're trying to tell us. I know I am, I mean. Let them keep the dimes at least.

No. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show, Juju. Do you value pennies? Because I believe that Stugatz, while what he has just revealed, feels wrong. It just feels wrong to have someone be handing you 88 cents or 86 cents and you saying keep the penny. Yes, I mean it's my penny, I'm giving it to you.

I know, but as a tip. Right, it's not a tip, I just don't want the penny. It's your penny. No, but it is a tip. I'm not tipping anyone. It is. I mean. But it is a tip, it's a tip.

If you say keep the penny, look, I don't know about you but I I tip grocers like you say if a cashier I will let them keep the change right and but but if it's a penny I'm gonna ask for it back because I don't want to insult that person by for them to think that I'm only leaving them a penny I'll put that in a jar right I'll put a penny jar huh no if they you don't have a penny jar I'll put the penny oh in the jar that's next to the you know register whatever but I will not hand someone a penny or say keep the penny that's insulting is it not I mean I just say keep the change yeah as as humans do

what if the change is 88 cents I don't need any coins, you know You say that about you know nickels dimes quarters all that if you invested 85 cents and you did it every single day and you did it since you were like 16 I could say that you have a lot of money, but I could say that a penny How are you not listening to yourself I am listening to myself I don't want pennies if you did this with pennies since you were 16 years old, you would have a good deal of money right now. I do. You wouldn't be here.

Do you ever get odd responses from the people at the grocery store? Cause like I've noticed if you try to tip somewhere where they don't normally tip, sometimes they give you like, what? Keep the change. This is not a restaurant. I don't know.

I just feel like you'd get an odd response sometimes. It's your change, right? I don't want your change. I know, like they're working and they're like, okay, I'll keep know, I just feel like you'd get an odd response sometimes. It's your change, right? I don't want your change. I know, like they're working and they're like, okay, I'll keep it, I guess. This is weird. I have not been prepared for a number of the things that have happened in America in recent years.

Our different relationship with change, literal and otherwise, is something that is confounding to me. And this particular change, on change, where I think many people listening to this can hear the privilege in, I never keep change, I just throw that off to the side. I think a lot of people listening to this are like, no, I keep the change, it has value. However, I might stop you on a penny, because I think this is a good Trump idea.

However, when I present to you, because anyone can agree with the simple math, I don't know what the consequences are of, it costs more to make a penny than to have a penny than the value of a penny, that's inefficiency. Come on, Elon Musk, help us to fix the government and fix our inefficiencies. That's obviously inefficient. However, I ask you this, and I don't know the answer,

but I hope that it's what I think it is Please tell me that a nickel costs more to make than a nickel a Lot more to make than a nickel. Please tell me what it costs to make a nickel made out of actual nickel. I Want like an idiot for asking my haven't thought But right you might not like the answer this Dan No I haven't thought about going to the water. But right. You might not like the answer to this, Dan. No. What I'd like the answer to be is that it costs twice as much to make a nickel or three times as much to make a nickel

as it costs to make a nickel. Ooh. $0.14. Ooh. Almost three times as much. It hurts. So now we're in a place where the nickel doesn't have any value either.

So if you go down that, this is a slippery slope. Well, the nickel is 75% copper. Right. What? That's interesting's a 25% nickel really Huh penny cost three point seven cents to produce it'll all be dogecoin soon anyway, right? Thank you, Jeremy. You're welcome. Well. He's right. He is right Glad we're talking about the right parts of it. I read on my person. Yeah, okay Person person, but the straws he came out against the straw, you know? Okay. Person? Person.

But the straws. He came out against the straws, huh? The straws are fine. He should have said that earlier. The straws are fine. My executive order would be like, if you're at a beachfront bar, paper straws. Yes. Okay, because then it can get in the turtle's nose.

If I can see the ocean, I'm fine with the paper straws. But if I'm like, come on. If I'm in Weston. If I'm in Weston, get that paper straw out of my face. If we're in Davy, I'm sucking Weston, get that paper straw out of my face. If we're in Davy, I'm sucking on that plastic straw. There's only so much climate change stuff you guys will abide and we're all hypocrites

and sometimes I don't recycle. Even your song is like, we're all going to die. We all know it. I mean, we can't put the toothpaste back in the bottle. You can only hope to mitigate it. So why don't we just start focusing on solutions? Title of the episode, Where Donald Trump is Right. You're worried about the turtles.

How about me when I'm drinking this paper that's disintegrated into my drink? No. The chemicals in there. Yes, the one in a million turtle that gets a plastic straw up his nose is a tragedy. But it's always me trying to suck down this frappe. Soggy ass straw.

I don't know where you do degrees and delineations on I won't wear a mask for you and where freedom's getting pinched on our selfishness killing sea turtles. I mean, come on. The odds of the straw matriculating through the ocean and getting lodged in the turtle's nose. We're all in agreement that we've polluted the seas and have destroyed the earth, yes?

That we've already done that? Yes. Well, but I don't think everyone's in agreement on that because if you deny climate change, you're not in agreement on that. No, no, no, if I were running for president, I would not deny climate change at all. I'd say, wow, we really messed that up.

Here's how we're gonna deal with it going forward. Yeah, but that's not what we're presently doing solutions We're gonna American ingenuity American ingenuity on like making sure that our towns don't get flooded Okay, but what it is that you're doing there Mike is all you're doing is well. I'm already losing so here we go I'm going with you on a paper straw and I get it I don't know where to put the line on degrees on creature comforts of living your life versus we're destroying the earth But you know a bunch of homes just burned in Los Angeles And it's gonna it's the beginning of the new normal and to do with the straws If I'm drinking if if I'm drinking,

if I see the ocean, paper straw. I'm with you. That's how we mitigate this. I'm not gonna do climate change talk anymore. You have rights. In this segment. In this segment. In this segment.

I am gonna move away from climate change talk. Where you moving? Oh. I mean, there ain't anywhere. Red, white, or blue lint. There ain't anywhere safe. away from climate change talk. Where are you moving? Oh. I mean, there ain't anywhere safe. I've been looking. I've been talking to climate scientists. I know, where in Ireland?

They're in anywhere. What, an emergency home in Colorado? They did tell us that Asheville was safe. They did. Well, but the parts of Asheville I was looking at, they were safe. They were a different part of Asheville. It doesn't flood. Move down the list to Orlando.

Got my eyes on you. Essentially located, I can drink out of a plastic straw. Yeah, Orlando's alleged to be the safest place in Florida from all manner of things, but it flooded recently in a way that made me wonder whether Stan Van Gundy was gonna live. So, like really, because I had Stan Van Gundy was gonna live. So, like really, because I had Stan Van Gundy, his house filling up with water,

and then what are you gonna do? You do you, man. You're President Lee, you got beachfront. I'm worried about you. What do you do? Which is why my plan is gonna build you a beautiful seawall with American ingenuity. Before I get to Tony's return

here and before I get to all the things with Sean Strickland and Dana White because I have been wanting to talk about this and when Tony comes in and I tell him I want to talk to him about it he says you know what Dan I prefer to talk about top five Miami smells. Oh wow. And I'm like that's what you've been doing with paternity leave. You've been you've been'm like, that's what you've been doing with paternity leave? You've been off for a month, and what you come back with is top five Miami smells? It's a good use of time.

Color me intrigued. Not only that, I've got that, which is very exciting, by the way, I've run it by a couple people that are Miamians, and they've agreed with every single one of them. Okay, so that's one. I've also got new father observations, if you wanna get to those. I like it.

In homage to Stu Gz. Thank you. That's fully baked, fully done, ready to go. Really? Yes, absolutely. And on top of that I was raising a child so I was doing a lot of stuff. Well welcome.

To us residents. To us residents. Oh wow! That's pretty good! It's in there! It's better! You think I haven't been practicing? Stugats! I didn't realize we had a substitute complicated legacy chosen by...

Brought to you by Headquarter Toyota. 441 Powerline Road. Second down to nine. This is the Dunn Lebatar Show. With the Stugats! Welcome back, Tony. I like what you've been doing with MMA Hangouts. So I'm gonna give you the room

as part of welcoming you back and because Billy sabotaged you, I'm gonna give you the floor here for Top 5 Miami Smells. Stugats, the entire segment I've been talking, you've been talking to Chris and doing your own show with Chris laughing. What are you laughing about?

Well, I was trying to feed Chris a line, I had a child, I mean. Nailed it. Okay. You see what I mean? That's why I wanted you to do it. If there's gonna be more water, we just dig holes where there isn't water,

and we put the water that is getting higher into those holes, therefore restoring balance. How about we just drop plastic straws in the ocean less? Anyone thought of that? Yeah. Can you please, Chris Cody, give me whatever it is that we need for Tony's top five smells? Have you produced anything to Tony during the month off,

come back with imaging for his new segment, top five Miami Smells? Not that. Okay. Tony, I appreciate all your hard work. What is the baby's name? Her name is Elle Rose, Dan. We're putting that out there. Well, no, congratulations because look, man, Tony... What's her social?

For those of you who... We just got it, by the way. Very exciting, Dan. When you get the little social card, it's still tiny. Yeah. We're putting it out the way very excited when you get a little social card Take it away. Oh wow I have to remember this for the social more things to remember Tony like a mean Who connects with our audience from there because he was living in Bristol and doing ESPN things and overcoming illness to chase his dreams the way that his father in this town wanted to do all the things that we were doing and built a company to compete against Stugatz in the sports radio world in South Florida. Tony leapt with us and overestimated his reach in thinking that at Freedom we should bring him out

with a feather bow and tell everybody, hey everybody, Tony came with us too. But it's what he wanted, it's not what we gave him. It would've been funny. After all- Oh, a joke you were going for. After all of these years, after all of these years, he's got a baby now.

He has a child? And it's called MMM Hangout, his most beloved child. It really is. It is not L-Rose. The real L-Rose is the one that will bring him riches, the MMA Hangout, which has exploded in popularity because Tony is at the helm of building and hustling his way into, and his dad would be proud of this, creating an entity and a thing that is his. And so I will go to him now and his expertise, not on Strickland, not on Dana White, but on top five Miami smells. OLI. OLI Dan. Cocaine. Yes. What does it smell like? I don't know.

Oh, you don't know. Oh, come on, Dan. I don't know what it is. I don't do it. I like the way it smells. I'm told it's been bitter smells Great better experience Oli number two not not all these smells are good. Hold on Did you put it on the pole? Do you know what cocaine smells like? Because bad cocaine I couldn't just I couldn't describe it for you I don't even know where to begin on what cocaine smells like and so

you guys laugh because you've clearly done cocaine we've just smelled it it's reckless well okay I think you'd be surprised how little cocaine I've done well but what you'd be shocked about my number Roy yes Roy a ton. What does cocaine smell like? Dead plants What does it smell like Jeremy strip clubs, I don't know Rubber it depends on what it's cut with. Yeah, or so I've heard. Yeah So how many people here know what cocaine smells like stugots? What does cocaine smell like good cocaine has no smell the bad cocaine it smells like urine a bit

I mean the drywall But Mike told it's a Really the joke is that it's you smell it, but you don't do it. But it's impossible to smell it and not do it. That was the joke. And we paid on it. And we got nothing for you. Number four.

OLI whatever. We're still on OLI. Yes. Yes, but again, not every smell is going to be a good smell. Robert says it smells like a mineral. The IT guy? Let's give him a camera. All right, fine. Give. Robert says it smells like a mineral. The IT guy? Kirk? Let's give him a ca- all right, fine.

Give him a camera, give him a microphone. No, fat Rob? What do you mean, like calcium? Give him a ca- I'm gonna go to the- What do you want Robert to do, smell cocaine? We're not doing it. I'm gonna ask him the question of what cocaine smells like. I think just referencing him was joking enough.

Rob. The smell of the bathroom at the Orange Bowl. That's a top smell? It's a top smell of nostalgia, Dan. It says Miami. You used to walk by the Orange Bowl, and you used to walk by the bathroom, and be like, polarizing.

It reminds me of back home. Reminds me of a time that was simpler, Dan. That's not a top smell. The sense that's most tied to memory is smell. Exactly. OK, wait a minute. It's Tony's list, Dan. OK, so you That's not a top smell. The sense that's most tied to memory is smell. Exactly. OK, wait a minute. It's Tony's list, Dan. OK, so you're making it a top smell because of memories.

Exactly. You smell it, and it puts you back in a place. That's never happened to you? This is that perfume my wife wore that one time we had a magical evening in the French Riviera. But that's a bad smell. It smells like piss. It's a bad smell.

Yeah? Well, it was a bad night for the Florida Gators. It's a bad smell that puts you in a good place. Exactly right, thank you Stu. Put it on the poll at Lebatard Show, does a bad smell ever put you in a good place? Like cocaine. Depending on what it's got. You said bad cocaine smells like urine,

which I, what does bad cocaine do? I can't see there. Yeah. Just enough. Another O.L.I. The salty smell when your parents would roll down the windows after the toll to the Key Biscayne Bridge when you were going to have fajito.

Oh, wow. That's a good one. On the causeway, yeah, that's good. They lower all the windows in the car, and then all of a sudden you're like, unbelievable. Salty smell, oh my God. That's a good one.

This is incredible. I'm not a landlubber anymore. Everyone thinks I do cocaine because of my character you're like, salty smell. Oh my God, this is incredible. I'm not a land lover anymore. Everyone thinks I do cocaine because of my character. I've never done it, but if it came in a pill form, I would do it. Look, I was hooked on like 11 Red Bulls a day back in my day, but the whole thing about like snorting something, I can't do it,

especially if it's a paper straw. Number. Number five, Dan, on the official list when somebody in the neighborhood is doing a barbecue but you can't really tell which house it is right now yeah neighbor no you look over the fence no it's not him and then you realize I don't want to actually talk to my neighbors Tony I gotta be honest I'm nailing it right it's a good list so far yeah it's a good but it and it's a distinctly my it's got it, and it's a distinctly,

it's about to become a distinctly Miami list if you're going over a bridge there and giving the locals local smells. Local smells? I gotta push back on that last one. Can anyone, anywhere they live, be like, I walk outside my house, I smell barbecue in any neighborhood. Which house is that?

I just don't know if that's Miami. That's the one you're pushing back on. Not the Orange Bowl. Oh, no, well. Tell him, Dan. You know what, though? Roast it pink. That's a plantation guy right there. neighborhood That is a plantation guy yeah, I've also smelt barbecue Roy's talking about don't know you don't because Roy's talking about one kind of barbecue and Tony's also doing lechon. I know the pig roast yeah Tony, but Tony's also doing like Latin cuisine it's not just barbecue. It's barbecue with that brings back ethnicity like it's not It's not just a random barbecue parents go to a pig roast and Davey. No it smells Hispanic

I know you guys think everyone thinks their thing is the coolest thing It smells Hispanic. I know you guys think everyone thinks their thing is the coolest thing You know what you're right you guys are the only ones that are you Chris yes, it's it's pork It's this I know what it is correctly the big box in Broward. We're not grilling pork when it's done You pick the skin off burgers and steak. No, we're doing it in Palm Beach County. I mean hold on a second I'm gonna I'm culturally Culturally, I'm going to explain something to you guys. And there is a difference between the Dade and Broward line. There is a very specific thing that Tony is talking about here when he's talking about Latin culture that I'm

about to explain to you. I imagine that Tony Kornheiser in his life has smelled barbecue in the neighborhood, right? Tony Kornheiser when he was doing Monday Night Football came to do a Monday Night Football game in Miami he was afraid to fly so the Monday Night Football bus comes into a very small Latin neighborhood where we where the people out back are cooking a pig in a box okay Tony Kornheiser who would tell you that he knows the smell of barbecue would say that when he walked that he knows the smell of barbecue, would say that when he walked into this home,

the smell of barbecue was better than any he had ever seen. And also, that he'll never forget it, because he was horrified, because we handed him the pig's head. And it was a triumphant cultural moment for him that he had not seen, even though he would say, like you guys are saying, that we're all talking about the same kind of barbecue.

We are not right number four for dead I mean I gotta tell you when I think food. I think Tony Kornheiser. What are we doing? Jesus Taylor always helpful gave me just be kind. He was being polite. Okay. You didn't even finish it cut the tape, buddy She's Classic Billy the right way there we go. All right. Yeah. Number four. Yeah. A fresh, fresh, freshly made cafe coano. Now that Davey doesn't have. Now that could be at the house. Same with Palm Beach County. Right. That could be at the house. You make

it on the stove top at your house. Your grandma would make it. Your mom would make it. You get the pomita. You're there mixing it, right? Or if you're at the bakery, all of a sudden you open the door. Boom, it hits you. But it also hits you with the combination of number three, the smell of freshly baked Cuban bread. See? I am so excited.

Excellent. You open that door of the bakery and it's like, Is that cafe? Yes. That's my cocaine. The freshly baked Cuban bread, Dan. Number three. If I may put some steaks on this for a second.

I love the steak. Oh, steak, yes. It's like a barbecue over here. Yeah, I've put a good. A palomilla, palomilla. He never tried it. We really have to. We really have to.

Con cebollas. It's the rough one there. It's delicious. We are two away from this being the best top five list that's ever been done here. Wow. Right now we are trending. This, Tony is on pace to score more

than has ever been scored in a top five game. Even with the orange ball, huh? Even with the smell of urine, and even with the smell of cocaine, and cocaine that smells like urine. Wow. Number two. When it's a little chilly in Miami, right?

And you're there, you're outside. Maybe you're grilling a little bit, hanging out with the family outside, just enjoying the nice 60 degree weather we have for the first time in nine months. The last month has been really nice. It has been. And then all of a sudden, is that a is that a bonfire?

A bonfire coming from Chrome Avenue? What are they burning over there? What are they burning over on Chrome Avenue? All of a sudden it's wafting over. And it's like, I don't know where the bonfire is coming from. I know it's coming from Chrome, but how did it make it all the way over here? And what's the smell? With the little chili.

You got the- It's gotta be a cold night. It's a cold night. It has to be a cold night. Cause if it's a warm night, then we're, a chrome's on fire. But if it's not, if it's a chilly night, you know people are doing bonfires out there.

And you make it a Miller time too. Oh gosh. I gotta be honest, that one's a little high. It's a little higher. Really? Oh, you're the one that attached stakes. Come on. Are you saying you're the only one who has bonfires? No, no. That's why it's a little high. Yeah. Really? Oh you're the one that attached stakes. Are you saying you're the only one who has bonfires? No no I'm saying why it's a little high. I'm saying the bonfires are coming from chrome. Right.

That's where it's a different kind. You're saying it's different when it's coming from chrome? Exactly right. The way it smells the bonfire? Number one. Huh. This is the one that really kick-started the entire list. No pressure. This is big Tony. No this is huge and everybody's gonna going to agree with this. When you start walking, you get out of your car, and you start walking towards a familiar sign, and you start smelling, oh, they're making chicken tenders in there.

The Publix chicken tender smell that wafts out of that Publix when they're cooking the chicken tenders early in the morning is a smell that is uniquely uniquely Miami and I love it It's my number one smell. I mean Publix chicken tenders being Broward has Publix. So does Palm Beach Everyone's got chicken tenders No, not like that. Dan put sticks on it and he afforded. The list fell apart. It really did. It's a try list. I mean seriously a rapers a rapist from the street vendors.

A what? A rapist? A what? A rapist? You're going to need to care about that. Hold on a minute. What happened? That's not my list.

That's not my list. No, Roy. Roy. Roy. What? You said a rapist. Roy heard it the same way. I don't know how that's connected to rapists.

You said a rapist. I said a rapist. I think he said a rapist. You said a rapist and then a rapers to correct yourself. I don't know how that's You said a rapist and then a rapers to correct yourself, okay Yeah, yeah, I don't think I can roll that thing I don't roll it I say I rep us Roy yes, then You you have lived in South Florida, Roy, all your life. Uh huh. That's correct.

Were you asking confirmation surrounded by Hispanic people at work every day. Rapers. The word arepas. You just clearly called them a rapist. I did not. I got an excuse here. I'm wearing clear aligners Understand that's the first time he's used that excuse. So I believe him. Yep

Pull it out and say it again. Yeah, do you want to try again? We're gonna give you the room nobody I'm out. No, you really pulled him out. Nobody say it again. No, nobody say the word again Nobody say it again. No nobody say the word again Roy try again to say the delicious corn and cheese magical melted treat that is the All right Rapist that we comedically couldn't do anything with it. Like, what's our boy doing here? How could you do anything with that? That last one sounded like a raper with some flair.

A raper. That's the other thing. There is an A raper. There's no R at the end. There's a hard A at the end. There's no R at the end. There's a hard R at the end. Yes, a R. What I'm going to tell you Roy, look, I was thinking of delicious melty mouth watering treats and only because you originally said and brought my mind to a rapist, did it then become something that was even worse and funnier while saying the same thing which is a raper? Which is what you said when trying to

correct a rapist. I also said street vendor after that so a rapist street vendor. Chris says he's got the sound. Everyone stand back. Roy be quiet for a second. Roy just everyone be quiet. I would like to go back to the moment, you've lived here all your life. Surrounded by Hispanic people. But actually these neighborhoods are segregated so not really.

Okay, but it works, surrounded by Hispanic people. Yeah. Like always. You casually holding Hispanic people. Yeah. Always. You casually holding your teeth. Yes, yeah. Okay, I want you to- Well, I'm not gonna put it on the console. What do you want me to put it?

Do me a favor. I'll hold it. Lewis, Lewis, please, camera trained only on the face of Roy here, okay? I want his facial reaction when I hear for the first time how it is, or he sees for the first time, how it is that he just said a raper. A rapers.

A rapers. Yeah, I understand how the clear liners can distort my... Well done, stay there Roy. Uncle Roy, yeah. Yeah, it doesn't sound good. It doesn't sound good. My heart is out to you. A rapers.

Come with the frog here, live from Middle Rock Media Studios here in Miami. Stugatz. The Germans are advancing on France in World War II. This is the Don Lebatard Show with the Stugatz. I want to play some sound here, Stugatz. Not that sound anymore. No, thank you for your contributions there. The rapers.

Stugatz yesterday never got to get a takeoff that he badly wanted to get off post Super Bowl. He wanted to talk about Jalen Hurts. And Jalen Hurts, if you're gonna ascend the ladder on maybe this quarterback is the reason they win. Winning is a quarterback stat. It is how we give fame if you are a winner. He just beat the winner of the winners who was gonna replace Tom Brady.

Who is Jalen Hurts now as he flies into stardom as the fifth or sixth best player on his offense and a guy who would win Super Bowl MVP and yet still all of us would watch that game and still say, yeah Kansas City's got the better quarterback. Well, that's the weird thing to me. It's like, Jalen Hurts won because the offensive line is good, the defensive line is good, his wide receivers are good, his running back is great.

He went to a Super Bowl two years ago with Miles Sanders as his running back. This is a guy who checks all the boxes in terms of things you want from your athlete and he doesn't seem to be getting any of the credit. He has been through all the adversity. He had to leave Alabama after winning a national championship because it was to his turn and he had to go to Oklahoma and he did insult. He went to Oklahoma and made

himself better. Drafted in the second round, makes the two Super Bowls, won a Super Bowl, Super Bowl MVP. He's 25 years old, and no one is celebrating Jalen Hurts. And to me, that is odd because what do we do when a team wins a Super Bowl? We usually celebrate that team's quarterback. I have found it interesting that we're making more excuses as to why Patrick Mahomes didn't win the Super Bowl than giving credit to Jalen Hurts for actually winning the Super Bowl. So this this part is super interesting to me and not a lot about

this stuff is usually. In what we've made of sports, where after losses, all of us are yelling and screaming about who's to blame. Often about a call here and there, this little move here. But now what you've got off the game is we were just denied a historic, that football dynasty has never existed. There's never been something that wins three times in a row. And America delighted so much in its demise, in the demise of excellence, that Philadelphia winning pales compared to Kansas City losing, because we're in blame culture, man.

And this was about Taylor Swift and Kelsey, and can I laugh at his outfit, and can I boo Taylor Swift, and somebody else gets to win. And this team that has represented America for three years in the power sport made us forget brady quick arrived i shouldn't say forget brady quick but i just saw in one game stu got i saw the television coverage go from ken mahomes be better than brady after this to mahomes loses that way in the television coverage is

that has gone out the window brad's That's my homes will never be Brady because that loss, Brady would have never lost like that. Yes. The whole story becomes about Kansas City loss, not Philadelphia one, except in Philadelphia where where Philadelphia can celebrate that it's got a beast of a football team. But that is odd to me, the fact that that's where we decided to go as a nation, as a country, and we're not addressing Jalen Hurts at all. Like, Jalen Hurts changed his game.

I know Jalen Hurts can win that team a Super Bowl because he almost did it by throwing the football two years ago. But he was willing to say, hey, you know what? We have Saquon, we have a great offensive line. When you need me to throw it, I'll throw it. But in the meantime, we're going to change our game and we're going to run our way to a Super Bowl. And no one is giving this guy credit

for doing all the right things his entire career, college and professional, because we're making fun of the Chiefs. I agree with you. It's odd. I think there's a paper straw man. I really do. I really do.

All right, well hold on a second. Let me get that for you. Then I gotta find it. Thank you. I'm sorry. Straw man. Jalen Hurts had a produced Superbowl commercial by Jordan brand in that he is the face of a football brand. His airness hand picked him.

He's in Disney world. He was played well now in two Superbowls against the Kansas city chiefs. He made a bomb ass throw, probably the throw of that game. He wasn't limited. He came in, there were some critics saying that this guy's not the most spectacular guy on his own offense and it's by a wide gulf. He was the best player on that offense in that game. And I think, quite honestly, yeah, the nature of social media is to make fun of the loser. But I think the main takeaway from what I sampled across the nation was God damn that defensive line from Philadelphia was really good. And everybody was giving

them credit because everybody was taking a back. We don't see Kansas City dominated like that over the course of this entire run. We've never seen that. So Philadelphia got plenty of credit I think. And I think credit to Jalen Hurts because he's been at, he's had to change his game so many times from the college level To the pro level where was like alright We know you can't throw the ball you can only run to all the sudden wait a second like he can start throwing the ball Now now they change their entire identity offensively now. We have safe one Barkley

We're gonna run the piss out of the ball and yet continues to make great throws the 30 had AJ Brown To start the game was incredible dropped Dropped it completely in a bucket, got called back, then he had the throw of Devontae Smith. He's shown you his progression as a quarterback from his time at Alabama to now winning Super Bowl. The Jordan Brand commercial was like, what are you gonna say now? If I told you that Kansas City defense would do

that good a job against Saquon Barkley headed into that game, tell you nothing about what had happened on the other side of the ball. You're like, okay, Eagles probably lose that game if you bottle up Saquon Barkley. If they have to count on Jaylen Hurts to win that game. They did, and they won easily. Do you think Jaylen Hurts keeps his pennies?

Hmm. I wanna play a sound here. Jaylen Hurts did the Disney thing. He had to go to Disney World. He must have been so exhausted. And I know that Jaylen Hurts isn't the most exciting talker, but he gives this ESPN TikTok social media person as little as I've ever heard anyone give anyone

in an interview. How many unread text messages do you have after winning the Super Bowl? When was the last time you were starstruck? Funniest thing a fan has ever said to you during a game? What's a classic movie you've never seen? If I've never seen it, how am I supposed to know? The funniest NFL player you know?

Could the average person run for one yard in an NFL game if they had 10 tries? I'm sure a wise coach can make it happen. Your iPhone wallpaper was the last Super Bowl game that you played in. Have you changed it yet? I got no plans. It's just a wallpaper. The only thing he answered there, who's your funniest teammate, Lane Johnson? Every other answer, I don't know.

Nah, I don't know. Don't know. Haven't changed it. Sneaky big eyebrows on Jalen Hurts. Why is he dressed like the Joker going to the art museum? Disney World is in the background there as he just gives you... His only job right now as he arrives at stardom is to give the people some personality he's not going to, right?

He's a great leader but he's gonna fall in line on quarterbacks who don't bring any kind of controversy anywhere near the huddle and don't reveal very much of themselves to anybody. So he's too boring. That's why we're not celebrating Jalen Hurts. Wait a minute. I thought, no, no, but hold on a second though, right?

Because we're all in agreement. We can diminish whatever the accomplishment was if you want. I can when Mike says he was the best player that day. No, he wasn't. Saquon Barkley's the best player on their offense. Kansas City stopped him and it afforded Jalen Hurts an assortment of opportunities that he wouldn't have had if seqon barkley hadn't been the running back that's the mvp of those flowers right away from a look at this guy i

know that's what i'm saying he had those opportunities two years ago we outplay patrick mahomes in a super bowl that is correct and it becomes about mahomes choked mahomes underachieved it's not what jalen hurts did it's that always ten it was 10-0 and then Mahomes throws the interception. It's 10-0 and then all of a sudden Mahomes throws another interception and we're also in the place where we're wondering, as Travis Kelce and him don't look right, we haven't seen this for three years, oh do they realize that they don't have a chance? Have they come to

the realization that they're sitting in the middle of the Super Bowl going in at halftime and it's like we got 23 yards in the middle of the Super Bowl going in at halftime and it's like we got 23 yards in the first half. What's that? They've got 24 points and should have more. Like they've, and so they're sitting in and it's the halftime show and Kendrick Lamar and they're just sitting in it and it's like,

oh, it's all over. Yeah, well there will be no comebacks. Yeah, what happened in Houston when we were down 24 nothing? That's not our team. Did you see Kendrick Lamar outgain the Kansas City Chiefs in terms of yards during his half-time performance? Hey, folks, it's Mike Ryan.
