The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

We've been thinking this season has been crazy. So what is the craziest thing to learn about if you fell into a coma last New Year's Eve and are just waking up right now? The Chiefs and Lions missed the playoffs. All-Pro Micah Parsons got traded to the Green Bay Packers. Jimmy Kimmel got pulled off the air. Jayden Daniels did zero, but the 2nd year QBs Bo Nix, Drake Maye and Caleb Williams all won their divisions. The Steelers followed up their awful idea of starting Russ Wilson by signing another mercenary. Or the Indiana Hoosiers destroyed the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Rose Bowl. Our good pal The Dutch Mook Paul Koehorst joins the show to answer this question and give his thoughts on the top games of the week on this episode of Football America!

It was a good year for actually following through on punishments, and one of the best (and easiest) may have been Mike Ryan dressing up as Pete Carroll. In this hour, we're introduced to Coach Carroll, and the defense drops a nose tackle into coverage, which throws Dan off completely. Then he runs a play for Roy, and all hell breaks loose.

We start the final day of our 2025 recap by spending some time with our good friend Nick Wright. In this episode, you'll hear when we all learned the different ways to eat peanuts, whether that be tonguing the shell or like an elephant. Also, this hour was from the day that Pablo Torre dropped the Kawhi Leonard story, so you'll hear Nick's reaction to Pablo's big scoop. Learn more about your ad choices.

Nothing says New Year's Day like a father and his son arguing over football. In this hour, you will hear one of the maddest Greg has ever gotten at Chris on the air: when Chris barged in and stole his laptop as he was working on his preseason NFL predictions. If we learned one thing this day, it is this: NEVER mess with the sanctity of Greg Cote's NFL predictions if you do not want to face the consequences. Learn more about your ad choices.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! We celebrate 2026 with the happiest guy we know: Tony Reali. We take a trip back to June when Reali came to our studios to spread cheer in the wake of Around the Horn ending. In this hour, he crashes our studio after making every single person in Downtown Miami happy, and forces Dan to do the show with a giant bounce house behind him. There is no better way to start your year with a smile. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
