The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Stugotz, Billy, and Mikey A are getting ready for a big week of football surrounding...Indiana? Mike Golic joins the show to play a game of What if? and hear some of Billy and Stugotz's ideas to improve the college and NFL game. Golic is less than impressed. Simms joins the show in the middle of Stugotz's book tour and isn't happy about it. Simms thinks the Giants might have an issue with Tommy DeVito starting instead of Drew Lock or Daniel Jones. Simms is really impressed with the Bills and thinks they would beat the Chiefs again in the playoffs if they match up. K Funk is back to make picks with the rest of the crew, but Mojo has a new approach when talking to him. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

He’s not quite America’s sweetheart… Anthony Jeselnik is more of America’s caliginous omen. But there IS a human being underneath the dark persona and all that bravado.  Together, Dan and Anthony explore his endless well of ambition, his extreme drive to always be funnier, better, sharper. Anthony explains what he finds so funny about the darkest parts of humanity, and how he’s able to make people laugh about them. Anthony also dives into the state of comedy today, holding nothing back when it comes to criticizing the lazy state of the industry.

The reporting around Woody Johnson firing Joe Douglas as the Jets GM has shown Johnson to be much more meddlesome than previous thought.
