The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

"I LOVE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Well, the day has finally come. Adam Silver and the NBA levied their punishment against Steve Ballmer, Gillian Zucker, Lawrence Frank, Kawhi Leonard, and the Los Angeles Clippers, and we have the man who started it all, Pablo Torre, on the show to share ALL the details. How did we end up here? What's the most interesting piece of the investigation's findings? Does Pablo know how to pronounce Gillian Zucker's name?

Today's cast: Dan, Your ol' pal Dave Dameshek, Roy, Chris, Jeremy, Tony, and Zaslow.

Cenk Uygur’s rise from immigrant kid and unhappy lawyer to the creator of The Young Turks, which he built from his living room into an independent media network is the epitome of the ‘American Dream’.

Uygur reflects on the evolution of his politics, how Donald Trump has changed things forever, the current state of the Democratic Party, and why he believes the left has lost its way. He also explains how he can openly support Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna while still having Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene guest on TYT, and opens up about his nephew Hasan Piker, the controversy surrounding him, and the very personal art of disagreeing without hating each other.

"The weird one is when people say 'it's colder than a witch's tit.'"

We head back out to the DraftKings gas station, where it is still hot as balls as Tony, Coca, and Zas go head-to-head in the windshield-wash relay. While that's happening, Dan can't help himself and wonders whether balls are more hot or swampy. Jess joins the show to share her thoughts on CFB Week 0 and tells us what she is most excited for in the upcoming Week 1 slate. Are we currently sitting on our balls? You know about that Kacey Musgraves giant disco scrotum? Plus, Dan responds to the reaction to his comments yesterday about premier NFL analyst jobs predominantly going to white former players.

"I genuinely hate Dan Le Batard right now."

We continue the discussion of Cam Ward following Jared Stillman sharing his assessment that the former #1 pick 'sucks'. Is Ward's preseason play something to be concerned about, or will he break out in a big way in his sophomore year? We go back out to the DraftKings gas station for a tire toss, and Tony turns in a shameful performance as we kick off four hours of DraftKings giving away free gas! But the highlight of the hour is the nominees for Most Uncomfortable Moment, including Dan calling Jess 'twerk queen', Tony taking things in an interesting direction, and Greg Cote getting all choked up.

"You can sing 'My Way', but don't claim you didn't know it was a Sinatra song."

The vibes are still weird after that awkward interview last hour with Clark Connors. Did Greg Cote think he was too good for a professional wrestler? Did he talk down to him?
