I laughed real tears for about 15 minutes! Then I had to go to YouTube and re-watch the episode to watch the video of fake Lawyer skip. Omg top notch show today
The amount they complain about time restraints. Ones that are completely self imposed (yes signing on to air the show on channels that need commercials is self imposed). I obviously missed the point of freedumb. The parade of people coming in and out is tiresome. Can we get a show of the old show like once a week. Billy, Chris, Mike, Roy (if he wants to that week) see what Allyson is doing. The fusion crew. Old money Charlie?Just an hour, even a half hour a week. Better yet, a BBBBBB!
I have listened to this podcast repeatedly and it cracks me up every single time! These are the random LAF shows that are the best. The only thing missing was Billy but it was still hilarious.
I’d forgotten that Roy beat Greg in the “turkey off”
and how fun that show was as well.
Really great segments!!
Hope you stay true. Nothing better to listen to. Except for David Sampson. I have listened to NPDS. Knowing how careful he is with his every word, with certain omissions he has made it very clear to me that he may or may not like black people, but he certainly does not have any use for them as listeners. He makes sure not touch certain subjects as to not offend his white audience, but why would he? “This is nothing personal just business” Right?
Chris Cote tells hilarious “foot” story. Mike Ryan says “Why didn’t you FaceTime him or ToeTime him”
No laughs from the room. No Loser Game Show sound. Nothing.
You’re right. I’m wrong. Mike Ryan is hilarious.
If the rest of the show being ruined wasn’t bad enough they decided to sell out the last good segment they had left by trying to force video on fans who started listening to an AUDIO show
Wish Billy, Chris, and Stu Gotz had their own podcast. Mike is great if he isn’t joining Dan in yammering about politics. If you’re looking for a women's college basketball and politics podcast this is calling your name. Also, the local hour isn’t that anymore. Sad!
Search: “Remove David Sampson from the Dan LeBatard Show with Stugotz and Meadowlark Media”
As a dedicated follower of the Dan LeBatard show with Stugotz and Meadowlark Media, I am deeply saddened by the negative impact David Sampson has had on this beloved program. His lack of social awareness, disdain for everyday people, and his unwavering support for trickle-down economics in sports and business are not only out of touch but also detrimental to the integrity of one of the greatest sports shows ever. David's presence on the show is not just a personal annoyance; it's a matter that affects all viewers who value genuine sports commentary. His views have created an environment that is increasingly hostile towards those who do not align with his elitist perspectives. This has led to a significant decrease in viewer satisfaction, threatening to tarnish what was once an engaging platform for all sports fans. Furthermore, his unpopularity among viewers is unprecedented. According to recent polls conducted by independent media outlets (source: Nielsen Ratings), viewer dissatisfaction has spiked since David became more prominent on the show. We believe that removing David Sampson from The Dan LeBatard Show with Stugotz and Meadowlark Media will restore its original spirit - one that champions diversity in opinion while maintaining respect for all viewpoints. We urge you to consider our plea seriously as we strive to preserve this iconic platform for future generations of sports enthusiasts. Please sign this petition if you agree that it's time for change at The Dan LeBatard Show with Stugotz and Meadowlark Media!
The show has really taken a tumble since Chris Cote has taken the EP chair. I hope they can find someone new and let Chris go back to a less active roll where he can chime in with the occasion word combination. Just about the only thing he does well.
This is what happens when you complain about “the man” so much and you go independent and realize it was 99% of the show and now you have nothing left but beating a dead horse…
So you’d rather have trump? You’d rather have an octogenarian who can’t make words? He’s not as crazy as you all seem to think. Listen to what he had to say. He’s not anti anything, he’s show me the results. And, he’s fit. He’ll actually make it through 4 years and his crazy is 1000x more livable than trumps crazy.
He's chosen to use it to platform failed nepotism executive David Samson as a movie critic. Mike Ryan was the last person willing and capable of telling Dan no, but he has now transitioned to on-air talent and is beholden to Dan's brutal decision making. Let him keep telling you he cares about the audio experience, the entire show is now built to live on fake HBO. And it's a fraction of what it once was as a sports entertainment product. The Draftkingsification is complete.
Dan said that Jordan didn’t deserve the treatment he got from the Wizards. DANNNNN, might I remind you that Jordan drafted Kwame Brown with the overall first pick of the draft, quite possibly the biggest first overall draft pick bust in the history of sports alongside JaMarcus Russell. He definitely deserved to be run out of town. He then followed that up by screwing up the draft in Charlotte for years. Great player, horrible talent evaluator.
Anyone who worked in a pizza or any delivery restaurant prior to GPS knows there was a giant map on the wall of the area the restaurant delivered to and, everybody who worked there basically had it memorized. (Ours even had pins for the crazy customers and dangerous hoods like Waze but not really)
This generation doesn’t earn the knowledge that the information they regurgitate once provided.
Old schooler who only listens occasionally these days but, it was nice to see you waste a whole segment on nonsense like the old days that made the show great!
Show is trash, I listened in the espn days but this is filth. Way too many people talking at once, when they have no business having a mic. Jessica is just awful, I can’t even listen anymore. Dan says he not a lib but always seems to talk about what’s wrong with republicans, he’s divisive and toxic.
Mike Ryan was a huge part of this show and a huge reason why myself and so many others love this show. Mike Ryan has taken a step back and Chris Cote has taken a step forward making the show much worse. Less Chris Cote and I’ll be back on board. You guys have to realize how bad he is at most times. There is a reason he was fired from ESPN. Harsh, but Chris Cote is not great. Not at all.
I think a new stand alone segment(or new podcast?) could be “Dan Marvels At White Athletes.” The boyhood wonder and amazement that Dan shows anytime a white person is athletic is truly incredible. The patronizing interview with the Indiana State player could have been the pilot for it. Happy to help produce.
Love the show. Loved it even more when I learned the bloviating Mike Ryan was stepping down. Alas, he continues to be trotted out, with uninformed takes. Please make it stop.
Dan and Mike continue to spread misinformation regarding the PSU scandal. Big supporter of the show for years but continuously gets their facts wrong on this matter. The subject is disturbing and the facts need to be carefully highlighted and not speculative misinformation that the FBI and 3 Attorney Generals agree didn’t happen. Be better as a journalist. You’re great and we expect better.
It’s disheartening how little they care about those of us who listen to the pod rather than watch on YouTube. More and more we are missing out on content because they cater mostly to the visual side, leaving the rest of us out in the cold. Dan occasionally mentions not wanting to exclude the audio audience, but it’s becoming empty words these days.
This show has been a daily part of my life for over 10 years. I still love it and I look forward to it every day! Thank you Mike Ryan!!! Anyone who doesn’t realize what an amazing talent he is is an idiot. I m not from Florida, I’m not a fan of the heat or the U but the man is a comedic genius!
Had to write a review just because of the amount of hate. The show most certainly goes into political way more than I like. It also speaks the same talking points I can find from any liberal news station or paper. But at its core the show is intelligent, insightful, genuine, and funny. I can’t imagine the day we lose this show. Appreciate it while Dan still wants to do this.
Dan your constant complaining about people not listening to you about doing their job is getting tiring. Start firing people who don’t do their job like a regular company and get rid of the no talent dead weight that is Chris Cote. The guy is bad at his job and you allow it. If you’re the boss then act like it. If not allow someone else to be the boss.
If I have to listen to Roy stumble through that Sleep Number add one more time I think I may unsubscribe from the podcast. Why would you have the guy that can’t speak very well read advertising? Bizarre.
I was downloading and listening to every episode throughout the day but I had to stop because they continue to spoil recent shows and movies. It makes no sense why it’s so hard for them to not do this on a sports podcast. They somehow find a way to do this on a weekly basis and then mock people for not liking having their favorite shows and movies spoiled before they’ve had a chance to finish watching them.
Listen at your own risk if you’re invested in seeing any ongoing, popular shows or movies.
