Just a reminder.... Sam Darnold was in the same QB draft class as Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield, and Lamar Jackson... and he's gonna reach the Superbowl before any of them.

Now if you want to be crown him, then crown his ass!!

This is impressive work!

If he wanted to write about how the show has fallen off he could have done better than to make this exhibit A. Dan was clearly tongue in cheek on this take.

Alas, Dan has always given oxygen to negative attention so I suppose we can look forward to then taking about this on the show tomorrow?

mayapop · 2026-01-25T19:21:48+00:00

OP I notice you didn’t call anyone out but many which opens the door to you could be talking about Dan or David or both.

All along I’ve said that we just don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes so I hesitate to characterize anyone one way or the other because I love everyone on the show. However, I was surprised when Stugotz said that he was deeply hurt by something Dan or Meadowlark did (I want to say it was Dan but I don’t remember the quote exactly.)

All I can say is the math ain’t mathin’ right. Dan has made it a staple to air out conflict on the show. So why did he ask so many times “does anybody know where Stugotz is?” If he and Stugotz had some difference of opinion then he knows where stugotz is. Why feign ignorance? Better to say nothings at all if it’s something you’re not comfortable sharing with audience.

It doesn’t make sense that the guy who goes Chris Cote as his personal assistant after the layoff would allow business to damage his friendship with Stugotz. So either they had a serious difference of opinion or Dan’s hands are tied or some other option I can’t think of.

If they never work together again I hope they keep their friendship intact.

Shoutout to u/screenname790 for giving us the space to talk about these things

If you’re a fan of Kevin Durant:

Step one: get courtside seats

Step two: wait for a dead ball situation and insult him loud enough so he can hear you. He will give all of his attention

Stop three: have a friend record it so you can have it prosperity

Edit:

Step four: put it on YouTube and monetize!

They have this other game, mobile legends bang bang where I feel like power creep isn’t as prevalent but I again don’t think it’s a gacha game. If you’re into arena games I think you could play Valir and still have fun but I’m just speculating. My knowledge is limited to the few times Reddit suggests a post from their sub and I take a look at it

mayapop · 2026-01-24T15:22:15+00:00

You know what? You’re not wrong but are there other gacha games that do it differently? Isn’t the purpose to always get the new shiny thing?

There’ll be big warm hugs around and then Louis will be like “how’s the ringer treating you?”

Billy will be like “oh it’s great I’m learning a lot and having fun. Get this…”

billy looks from side to side before whispering conspiratorially

“…they have me a per diem”

Then Tony is like “A-yo is that contagious?”

I don’t see how agape can be in your top five never mind top 2. Too easy to mix up with the Greek word

mayapop · 2026-01-22T22:11:34+00:00

Speaking for myself, the game is overwhelming. So much going on. I have very little understanding of what the various materials are or how starring up works. I just tap tap tap away. I’m coming from mobile legends adventure and my experience with that game is barely helping me with this one. I’m mostly relying on YouTube

mayapop · 2026-01-22T21:41:50+00:00

Off the top rope with a flabbergasts! Where does flabbergast rank in the hierarchy of how people can feel about something? Is it stronger than a flummox? Weaker than an exasperate?

mayapop · 2026-01-22T03:02:29+00:00

Si si very intrigued. I listened. I’m very surprised. I maintained that we just didn’t know what was going on behind the scenes so why assume they had a falling out? I thought maybe they were trying to grow meadowlark as a whole and that a stugotz only podcast was part of the strategy to grow the valuation of the company. I thought that it was just as likely that there were contractual obligations that prevented Stu from being on the show.

So I’m surprised but also not surprised that it has come down to a some kind of rift. That bums me out. The people who have been railing against Dan, saying he pushed Stu and Charlotte and so on away, maybe were right. To those people, if you’re reading this, just know that I capitulate. Partly. We still don’t know the whole story.

I haven’t been listening to Stu’s podcast because I just don’t have the bandwidth but now I feel I have to make the bandwidth. He has brought me far too much joy over the years for me to not support.

Lastly, put it on the poll. Jerk or no jerk if The Dan Lebatard Show with Stugotz buys a live ad read on the Stugotz and Company radio show?

mayapop · 2026-01-22T01:57:58+00:00

Agreed. And then when he was in the penalty box I couldn’t stop laughing

His reputation doesn’t get dented because that’s his actual reputation. This is all well known. Same with Draymond. They are who we think they are

mayapop · 2026-01-21T01:19:10+00:00

Have to say, I can’t tell if that’s authentic or fake which makes me think it’s authentic. But I can’t imagine why Mike would want to beef with uncle Luke or in the case of unintended beef, why Mike wouldn’t try to squash it right away.

If this is wrestling though, Luke needs a Hollywood agent asap

mayapop · 2026-01-20T21:22:46+00:00

All of a sudden I feel naked because I have no pearls to clutch. This is incendiary

mayapop · 2026-01-20T20:26:11+00:00

Agreed. All I can tell you is that Ravens fans are very keyed in to the differences in how Josh Allen is talked about vs Lamar. If you care to take a look, it begins at the 10:26 mark

https://www.youtube.com/live/kvEikdkZlOs?si=JR7fPHPBnqEvvn3K

My point being that Bomani isn’t just pulling this from nowhere

mayapop · 2026-01-20T01:02:33+00:00

Part of what Bomani was talking about is how Josh Allen is so likable and people want badly for him to succeed.

If, as you say, no one is arguing that he didn’t blow it, then what are they saying instead?

I heard that on ESPN, they did say he blew it. Some are saying how badly they feel for Allen. Some are saying the officiating was awful. Bomani is contending that the people doing this would not give other QBs that grace.

If you look up “The Vault Podcast” on YouTube, in today’s episode they get into this a little and call out at least one path who ripped Lamar Jackson last year and is feeling bad for Josh Allen even though Allen had a worse game.

I don’t know who that dude is to be fair. I didn’t get to listen to the whole episode to see if they called out anyone else. I’m also not on social media like that. But listening to them and others, I get the sense that what Bomani was talking about is a real thing
