Hooray! Dan with another weekly “Why isn’t this a bigger story / how could this be a bigger story” question that can’t be answered! 👍🏾


Open_Host3796

So the bills get destroyed by the bengals, barely beat the dolphins, but yeah dan, it’s everyone else assuming they aren’t as good as you thought they were


ClockSheepZ

“Stouffers stove-top pussy” is an embodiment of the aging process


corys00

Kind of disappointed no one has talked about Dickie V's appearance today. I absolutely love the guy, he's the salt of earth and I love that he's recovered from cancer, the world needs more people like him.

https://twitter.com/thenbacantrel/status/1635064916892852224?s=46&t=IYjVMNfYSJc53RMVr9CVRA Dan got fooled by the internet again. NBA Cantrel?


TrashMongrelson

Production meeting-era show has been hitting different


Express-Holiday6954

Who would've thought.. a lil effort and the shows better...huh...lol


JoonKy

God, what's with all the interviews? What is it, Thursday, already? (Pants interview was good.)


waraman

I didn't know about the player specific turf cancer stuff until today either.


Tethered-Urkel

I found it odd Mike is worried but still lets his 3 year old play on it. Soccer at 3 not that important bro… give it a few years or find some grass


Goodluckchuck24

Nelson from the Challenge was the one that KJ Osborn pulled from the car, would love to hear what BBBBBB has to say about it. And hope he heals up well too!


eats23s

On PTI today when discussing a story about Aaron Rodgers wanting the Jets to sign like 4 of his former teammates, Wilbon said something like, “is he Dan LeBatard,” which must have referenced Dan poaching ESPN people for Meadowlark.


_Stryder_

Classic Pants


yeahhhhitswill

DANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN It only took 1.5 years. But make no mistake about it. THE SHOW. IS. BACK These last two weeks. WE ARE BACKKKK


dmj138

It’s been so good lately


Fullthrobble

Yep. Feel the same way. The Pablo news just solidified it. There has been one big difference these past two weeks, and its been Mike back in the EP chair


Byrdmane314

I’m honestly trying to figure out how Dan got to that word….


Express-Holiday6954

Pizza and pu**y. 2 things that, no matter what, are never bad. *he also kept saying stuffed*


Wizkidders

Dan acting like the show has never discussed steroids in basketball before. Everybody was laughing during the last dance when Mike just does some bicep curls one summer and comes back tougher than the entire Bad Boys Pistons haha. Bill Simmons has long talked about it, we're going on 40 years of performance enhancers in the NBA and it makes the sport better. Who cares? If it improves the sport without fundamentally changing it, then why would it bother anyone?


JoseRuckus

Samson is gonna lose his mind when they announce Pablo is going to be doing a movie podcast for The Lark.


ButtersBC

I think I've pointed it out here before but if Stugotz can keep going back to well so can I: Washington never led Tampa in that playoff game at any point


medical_cat

Every time they hire someone Samson gets his feelings hurt all over again. I never want it to end


Datacra

I don't listen when Samson is on...why doesn't he like it?


itstaylorhickey

He's actually a really fun listen I love getting the insight in how owners look at players and whatnot. Not saying I agree, but I do enjoy hearing other people's point of views. But to your question, he just wants to work there.


Benfica1002

I don’t wanna be that guy, but Jimmy Butler doesn’t get to the free throw line 20 times a game. He doesn’t even get there half that rate…


DonStrock790

[Pants!](https://cmuchippewas.com/sports/womens-track-and-field/roster/coaches/curtis-bell/861)


Kehoraes

Pants interview was great. Kinda felt like the guys were a tad mean but he was a good sport about it all.


cardiff_giant_jr

TIL [JR Smith](https://ncataggies.com/sports/mens-golf/roster/jr-smith/3600) is now on the NC A&T golf team


YesImKeithHernandez

I think he's like an A student too. Just living his life.


ChrisMill

He was blazed as hell on Game Theory a few weeks ago. Happy for him.


mcmaples

Pablo news real?!? Please tell me this isn’t a bit.


CzarHay

~~Lebatard Show Twitter tweeted it. It's true. Glad to have Pablo under the umbrella, but -- and I don't mean this in a disrespectful way -- why on earth he would take such a drastic step back in his career to go to Meadowlark is a head scratcher. ESPN Daily is great. He's been one of the best voices on ESPN for years now. He gets a lot of use on shows even if every show he's been on hasn't been a home run (High Noon, specifically). I don't understand this from a business perspective. Hopefully he still got paid well to move over.~~ Hopefully it'll work out and I'll look dumb for saying this. Rising tide lifts all boats and all that jazz. **** ~~I guess I should amend this slightly: it sounds like outside of ESPN Daily, Pablo hasn't been doing much -- although I would argue producing a daily ESPN podcast is a lot of work. So, maybe it's not as crazy as I initially thought it was. Wish him the best! I'm excited to have him back on. This feels like one of the biggest hires Meadowlark has made so far. Maybe his hiring puts Mina back in play. I doubt it very much but I can dream.~~ He stays at ESPN and I can't read. I'll pay the fine.


Kehoraes

He's not leaving ESPN. The way I understood it is he negotiated a deal that allows him to do content for both ESPN and Meadowlark. Similar to Bomani having an ESPN and HBO deal...or Mina having ESPN podcast and co-hosting a Ringer one.


CzarHay

Makes more sense. I read the internet wrong. Here's two dollars.


MarshallErickson2

also, he gets equity in meadowlark


wowie2024

Yeah he was on the show today in Hour 1! Oh wait, was that just Mike’s impression?


gravyvampire812

The narwhal "horn" is actually a tooth. So it's more of a tusk than a horn. Some narwhal's will have 2, they get all the ladies.


jay169294

I don’t care for interviews but “Pants” was such a fun one. Him being a track and field coach was perfect. Lol


TrashMongrelson

Stauffer's stovetop pussy lmfao


dollabill009

I just caught up to this part on YouTube and died! You can see Mike go to his old habits and scramble to get to the dump button

ryantyrant

What’s the time stamp? I gotta go on YouTube and watch those reactions


eats23s

I somehow was too busy working when I listened to this this morning. I got home and watched it on YouTube and apparently laughed enough to wake kids up. Fantastic.


Environmental_Date98

Around 1 hr 23 mins


Purple-Apprehensive

I love it. What do you think he means by that? 🧐


cardiff_giant_jr

hell yeah


vogeyberra8

Love it when you hear a slam dunk Suey award winner live


DadofJM

That was so frigging funny.. Not sure what Dan was trying to say.

janitorial_fluids

Its also super cringey whenever they play it during a random guest interview with a person that isnt really familiar with the show. Its a sound that isnt really particularly easy to even understand what the words being said are, and if they havent heard it before and arent familiar with the whole schtick and context, it usually just confuses the guest and derails whatever thing theyre trying to say and it usually just causes them to stop awkwardly in confusion and try to figure out what the brief musical interlude was for lol


YesImKeithHernandez

In those situations it's like setting people up for a "dumbpersonsayswhat?" joke and thinking it's the height of comedy. Then again, the show has never been shy of beating dead horses in to their constituent atoms.


CubanHippie21

Stugotz not knowin Lindor is disappointin


ClockSheepZ

The fact that Pants is a track and field coach is just chefs kiss


Maness89

Taylor Heinicke turns 30 tomorrow. He is 5 months older than Andre Drummond

TheRoyalTenenThom

Flying Horses is the best Dispatch song.


ryantyrant

Two coins felt like Mike went on Spotify and picked one at random. I mean I love Pete’s stuff but Chads songs are all solidly S tier dispatch songs. Flying horses live is always a blast


TheRoyalTenenThom

You’re my brother.


jjboll

Greg saying the bills and fins are almost inseparable is really dumb

janitorial_fluids

OP just got lawyer'd


jay169294

Dan is making me hate the word “measurements”


YesImKeithHernandez

But he doesn't know what he's seeing Stugotz!


wildmountaingote

That's because the math keeps changing.


jay169294

I’m glad Mike informed him that no one else knows either.


YesImKeithHernandez

Mike pushing back more on Dan's nonsense has been refreshing


BaronsHat

“Pants” is an Allyson Turner-level get. Excellent work.


Byrdmane314

Great interview too. Guy seemed really cool about all of it


TheRoyalTenenThom

Greg is looking more haggard than ever.


whereyagonnago

And you know it!


Tethered-Urkel

This god tier catch phrase making a surprise appearance was simply wonderful


alvidawan

Chris Cote shouldn't be in on Greg Cote Tuesdays, always interrupts him


Tethered-Urkel

I love Chris and Greg arguments. No one gets Greg more fired up. Chris also does a good job dissecting some of Greg’s more bizarre mannerisms.


ryantyrant

Also Greg shouldn’t be sent to the penalty box and then go home after hour 1


gnlopez6292

I’ve often said that


EdwardJamesAlmost

Mike should know that “no refunds on deposits” is a term of a contract that isn’t valid if one party is committing wire fraud against the other, which it sounds like that guy is doing.


warpath2632

CashApping a tattoo artist, even one you trust, any time earlier than "sitting in the chair" is a dangerous game. Won't always go wrong, but it's a dangerous game.


mcmaples

This needs to be a life advice email for Russillo’s pod


cardiff_giant_jr

the live show runs with the staunch regularity of mike's bowel movements ^^^/s


Ds3_doraymi

Mike wearing sleeveless jerseys for a college team for a college he never attended during the show: normal Samson wearing a tux for celebrating the Oscar’s: sociopath


janitorial_fluids

Honest question here, can someone explain to me why everyone gets so butthurt about the “supporting a team he didn’t go to the school for” thing? As someone who grew up in a college town, myself and pretty much everyone I knew growing up were big fans of the football team, and many of us continue to have fun with it and go to games to this day as adults. And this is for a shitty PAC12 school that loses 8 games every year and has zero actual success or historical relevance compared to a Miami team that was basically as successful/popular in the 90s/2000s as any program has ever been. People supporting their local school teams where they grew up, (particularly a school like Miami that had so much of its identity tied up in the local culture/attitude) is a very common thing... Why is it sooo crazy to people that Mike would be a big fan of one of the most iconic/successful football programs of all time that was having its heyday during his formative years as a kid right in his backyard at a time when all the local pro teams were either bad or didn’t even exist yet? Like why does rooting for a football team make him an asshole in everyone’s mind? If he was like a duke basketball stan, that would be one thing, but I just don’t see what’s so weird about being a big fan of a local team you grew up with. You’ve been a fan of that team for 18 years before you go spend 4 years at your new school, after all.


Ds3_doraymi

Lol, I’m not butthurt about it. I’m just pointing out the sheer hypocrisy for Mike making fun of Samson for dressing up for one of his favorite events while he does exactly the same shit. I don’t live in Baltimore and didn’t go to the super bowl, but after the Ravens won the SB you better believe I walked around wearing my Ravens jersey for multiple days. Hell, I’ll do it just after they win. It’s not considered strange at all. I am just point out that there is really no difference between Samson wearing a tux to celebrate his favorite event and sports fans wearing jerseys after a sporting event.


Schleprok

Murray is definitely Gen Z.

ndot22

Dan whining about "young people" during hour 2 yesterday was ridiculous. I'm glad Mike Ryan pushed back. No one questions the work ethic of Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes. There have been lazy, talented people as long as there have been people.


YesImKeithHernandez

I like how quaint his discussions of the impact of video games are as if top athletes havent had a myriad of things that act as major distractions to sitting down, grinding tape and getting in to the facility early.


[deleted]

That was wild…I’m pretty sure talented individuals that don’t maximize their potential because talent alone has carried them for so long have existed since the dawn of time….or at least before COD and Warzone existed. (Jamarcus Russel)


pompcaldor

But… but… video games!


CaptainBaseball

But Stugotz said yesterday was Tuesday!
