One of the funniest moments on the show ever and I still laugh hard whenever I revisit it and hear Dan say “Stugotz just texted me “congratulations!” 😂😂😂
I remember i had this episode playing at work. Laughing my ass off. Greg "Scoops" Cote. The moment Billy said "...keeping it a secret, here it is" I never stopped laughing. I may still be laughing today.
Dan secretly loved that this happened. Also, it's the most insane thing Cote has done IMO...this is up there with the Hoch story without severe consequences
Im not complaining i just thought we'd get a little more "best of 2024" content over the break. I went back and watched the Sueys. Made me feel better 😂😂🐼🐼❤❤
Ok Now that that's Outta the Way I Still Don't & Won't Ever Believe that Dan'o L is Actually Married Until I can See Aleast 2 Crumb Snatchers Who look Exactly like Pop Lebatard & his lovely Wife,, & Dan & His Lovely Wife !!! Nope I'm Not Sold on the Whole Conspiracy just yet !!! Lololol
U can Prove this Accusation 2Be True Dan by Naming Your First Son "Greg Cote Lebatard" !! Then & Only then will I Believe U,,, & the Rest of the World Will Follow LMAO,,, How Bout That !!!! Lololol.
(written by Chat GPT) Title: Stugotz's Fever Dream Scene 1: Stugotz's Fever Dream Stugotz is tossing and turning in bed, drenched in sweat. The room is spinning as a low, eerie hum fills the air. Suddenly, a large, round shape begins to form in front of him. A hippopotamus, but not just any hippo-this one has the face of Dan Le Batard. It's... surreal. Stugotz (half awake): groggily "What the…? Dan? Is that you?" Le Batard-Hippo (in a deep, soothing voice): "Stugotz, my friend, you've got a lot to learn. But first... let’s talk about equality." Stugotz (confused): "Equality? What, like… we're all equal in the eyes of the hippo gods or something?" Le Batard-Hippo (nodding sagely): "Not just the hippo gods, Stugotz. But yes, especially the hippo gods. You see, people sometimes forget that we all wade through the same muddy waters. Your privilege is like a fast current, but some are stuck in the swamp. You've got to realize the struggle." Stugotz (still delirious): "Wait, are you telling me... I'm like... the current? Like I'm better than people who aren't swimming as fast as me?" Le Batard-Hippo (looking disappointed): "That's exactly it, Stugotz. You're the current, but you don’t even realize the swamp others are stuck in. They’re not failing; they’re being held back." The hippo raises one massive, wrinkled eyebrow. Le Batard-Hippo (sternly): "Race isn't just a game, Stugotz. It’s a whole damn race. And not everyone starts at the same starting line." Stugotz (fidgeting uncomfortably): "Whoa, Dan, I... uh... I think I'm starting to get it, but also, I’m pretty sure I'm still feverish and hallucinating." Le Batard-Hippo (smiling): "Good, because understanding is half the battle. Now, go back to sleep. And remember: equality isn’t something you talk about when it’s convenient-it’s something you live." With that, the hippo disappears into a puff of mist, leaving Stugotz staring wide-eyed at the empty space. Scene 2: The Clevelander, Miami Beach Stugotz and Le Batard are sitting at the bar, enjoying a couple of cold drinks, the Miami sun shining down on the crowd. Stugotz, still a bit shaken, suddenly leans over to Dan. Stugotz (breathlessly): "Dan, you will not believe the dream I just had. It was, like, crazy. You... you were a hippo. No, seriously-a giant hippo with your face, and you-" Dan raises an eyebrow, already knowing where this is going. Le Batard (calmly): "Was I giving you life lessons about race and equality?" Stugotz (stunned): "Yeah, that’s the thing! You were like, teaching me all this stuff about how I’m the current and people are stuck in the swamp and how I need to understand-" Le Batard (nodding, leaning back): "Yeah, sounds about right." Stugotz (pausing, trying to digest): "But it was you, Dan. In the form of a fat hippo, teaching me about privilege and equality. Like... are we all just supposed to wake up from our dreams and change, or-" Le Batard (wisely): "No one wakes up from a dream and changes, Stugotz. Change happens when you start living what you’ve learned... when the dream’s over, you’ve got to do the work. And sometimes, it starts with a hippo." Stugotz stares at him, trying to process. Stugotz (nodding slowly): "Yeah... yeah, I think I get it. But still-a hippo, Dan?" Le Batard (grinning): "It’s a metaphor. The hippo... he’s got wisdom, my friend." They both laugh, clinking their glasses together as the warm Miami breeze sweeps by, leaving Stugotz feeling a little wiser than before-at least for today. End scene.
One of the best moments of the show. I remember listening live, it was amazing
100%
That day is top 2 in show history for me 😂
Agreed & that show was totally amazing!
This moment happened when I first started listening 😂 and I'll never forget it
Yup same
"Stu Gotz just texted me, "Congratulations'" will forever define the show!
Then he though @sarahspain was Spain the country congratulating Dan.
My all time favorite live moment in show history. This, , “strap it on Dan” ad read and the “beating off intruders” ad read. 😂
These are all great 😂😂
"Here it is" had me dying back then and it has me dying now. Absolute perfection from Greg Cote.
I remember watching this live. Dan got more pissed with each person that called in that show to congratulate Dan 😂😂
This how I got into dan lebatard show thank you greg
Dan and gregs friendship is so great lol
One of the funniest moments on the show ever and I still laugh hard whenever I revisit it and hear Dan say “Stugotz just texted me “congratulations!” 😂😂😂
"Well you survived it kid"
This moment and the steak chin bit is my top 2 😂
Scoopin' it!
This is just what I need to feed the addiction.
when they’re on break.
i realize my sanity during the week depends on this show.. has for years.
love it 😂
I remember i had this episode playing at work. Laughing my ass off. Greg "Scoops" Cote.
The moment Billy said "...keeping it a secret, here it is" I never stopped laughing. I may still be laughing today.
I rewatch it occasionally. It will NEVER not be funny
Stugotz just texted me 'congratulations'
This is an awesome idea for the show. I love the Behind the scenes look
Behind the bit is the best segment ever.
Greg “Scoops” Cote!
Great drop and it's one of the best genuine moments on the show. Long live Cote! Thank you guys!
Listening to this live was like being at Woodstock
This was absolutely fucking hilarious i remember watching it live 😂😂😂😂
I remember this so vividly haha 😂
I NEED SHOWS GODDAMMIT
Dan secretly loved that this happened. Also, it's the most insane thing Cote has done IMO...this is up there with the Hoch story without severe consequences
Most insane thing Cote did was trade Marino. This is a close second lol
“But she knew” 😂
More Stu next time in these. If you have to follow him out to the garage and get him while he’s smoking do it. More Stugotz.
I still go back and watch the confetti falling lol
How do we know the bit behind the bit isn’t itself…..a bit?
Love you guys, favorite show ever. There's 0 chance any of this was real
“SCOOPS” Cote, brah
Thank you
I guess Chris was right about worrying for his job back then.
Love you all!
So damn good
I can’t believe it wasn’t a bit and was really and that Greg is still here. Goddamn. Get his pieces of silver.
everything worked out great. you're welcome! LMAOOOOOOO
This was so good happening live time 😂
Im not complaining i just thought we'd get a little more "best of 2024" content over the break. I went back and watched the Sueys. Made me feel better 😂😂🐼🐼❤❤
By the looks of Stugotz, this was what, 50 years ago?
At least 51
That kind-a thing!
Chris Cote definitely knew 😂
Chris still got fired 😂
Funniest moment I can remember or the recap of Dans wedding.
Damn.. Dan looks so young.. the last 6 years have been President level of stressful to him lol
I already miss the show. Holiday vacation needs to end
I still don't see what the big deal is. Mr. Cote's a writer. He wrote. Great job, Mr. Cote 🤜🏾🤛🏾😏.
I almost choked laughing when I first heard this
this was recorded during a bad arm week
Chris wearing the moob shirt
this was so funny live
Greg Cote is the GOAT
I think the only thing that would have been worse is if Greg blindsided Dan by announcing this in a "Back in My Day".
"ENGAGEMENTS! Back in my day..."
Good arm day for Greg
Wait a moment.... I alway thought this was a bit.. Thst it was staged. Greg REALLY DID THAT??!!!
20 years is not something I can support.
good lord Stu has aged
Wow. Early.
A couple of Scoops, betrayin it up!
Ok Now that that's Outta the Way I Still Don't & Won't Ever Believe that Dan'o L is Actually Married Until I can See Aleast 2 Crumb Snatchers Who look Exactly like Pop Lebatard & his lovely Wife,, & Dan & His Lovely Wife !!! Nope I'm Not Sold on the Whole Conspiracy just yet !!! Lololol
Mighty ACC is 1-8 on thier bowls! As good as the Big Ten or SEC? Ha, in yr wet dreams.
U can Prove this Accusation 2Be True Dan by Naming Your First Son "Greg Cote Lebatard" !! Then & Only then will I Believe U,,, & the Rest of the World Will Follow LMAO,,, How Bout That !!!! Lololol.
What are these bits? And what’s wrong with these people?

End scene.
Greg must be a nice guy in real life because he seems like a jerk from the show
After this, I became fully in Foxworth's camp on hating Cote.
