First Ever Dan LeBatard with Stugotz Show - 9/1/2004 

"I think it'd be great to have Greg Cote on this show." Famous Last Words

What a legend. The origin of the greatest sports radio show of all time.

Dan: "Have you read Moneyball?" Stu: " I did, parts of it." First official Stu lie on the show?

Next year is the 20th anniversary. I hope they do a special show where they listen back to this audio with the shipping container, the potential content would be amazing.

Almost 20 years later and Dan hasn't changed. I almost teared up when he was describing how his friends will become our friends. Facts Dan. FACTS!

legendary, Dan called it, his friends became our friends

In the first 31 minutes: He mentions "musty ancient old man" Cote, Kornheiser and Wilbon, Gary Sheffield, Stephen A... "I do not need this job"... "I will mock my dorky self"... "the bloated know-it-all"... "I'm not afraid to criticize ESPN"... The love for Miami... "You want your team to succeed and I understand that" The smallest hint of a race talk and support for athlete over management when he mentions Iverson and Ricky Williams. Going into examining Tom Cruise roles out of nowhere. Taking 23 minutes to talk current sports. "I don't know what you have planned next segment" "You're going to have to bring out a calculator, I'm going to make your head hurt" "That curtain being pulled back from journalism" Dan calling Al Cowlings 'AC Cowlings'... "Arturo Sandoval juxtaposed with Ludacris and Jay-Z" "Mike Holmgren...looks like a fat guy reading a menu" and "Mike Martz looks like Mrs Doubtfire." Houseboy/Ho/Fluff supposedly-5'8" Stugotz being there to read the advertisement and pulling the show back to sports, wanting to go to the (Dan on a cell) phone asap and always ready for the fake laugh..."And I don't like you very much" The strong defiance of sports radio and rebellion with that tiny hint of meekness amongst the arrogance, the vulnerability, and social awkwardness with the spread for him from the Herald... "5 years today if we're still doing this show..." "We'll laugh"... "Are you hoping people warm up to Dan Lebatard?" "I don't care" I mean...the format's changed and kept up with the times, but the spirit's remained the same. Well done, Blubbertard.

"Barry Bonds is 40 and hes getting better! How is he doing it!?! Weve never seen anything like this!" Lmaoo

It is so fun to stumble upon this video after falling in love with this show sometime in the past 5-10 years.

I used to listen to this show every single day back on 790. So many great moments that had me cracking up dying laughing.

This is amazing. Dan hasn't changed at all

Marlins and Dolphins talk from 13 years ago is music to my ears

The GOAT of sports radio.

This was the birth of The GOAT.

Dan arguing for AJ Feeley is up there with predicting the 2008 Lions that went 0-16 would be a playoff team

It's so funny hearing the stress and nervousness in his voice cuz now he's a pro, back then it's like a little kid learning to ride a bike

Thanks for uploading this

Listening to this right now in 2021 is amazing

OMG, the first looks like game! Mike Holmgren looks less like a genius and more like a fat guy reading a menu! This is golden! The further and I go, the more amazing this is. He entirely laid the blueprint, and has kept it intact, and keeps me interested as a listener.

Stu has completely changed his laugh to make it deeper.

Cote showkilling since day one

Thanks for posting this! Great work finding this clip and it still holds up!

You are the king for posting this. You win the internet IMO.

thank you so much sir. This makes me so damn happy

I thought I was dumb for listening to this whole thing.... I'm so glad I found the army below!

Wow I can't tell you how much I enjoyed that. As an ~8 year listener, this was like getting to see a prequel movie about my favorite show. I want to listen to the first few years now

Can't believe I found this. Been a diehard fan for 10 years now, this is so wonderful to listen to.

50:50 introducing greg cote (of the miami herald) after an audio error during discussion about a serious topic immediately followed by greg cote technical issues, this show has literally never changed

Stu one hour into this show has a gem "mediocracy"

Has anyone posted this on the reddit page? The first segment pretty much spells out the show to this day. And the first caller. Dude was pretty spot on, and they don't take callers of any importance anymore outside of Magill and Kurkjian.

Thanks for this

this is so epic

this is amazing!

"5 years from today if we're still doing this show, and for your sake I hope we're not..." And here we are 13 years later lol

I love this so so much!

listening to this in hindsight is excellent...

Amazing back then. Amazing now.

thanks for sharing. glad the show doesn't sound like this any more.

Omg! This is golden!

This is incredible. Dan hasn't changed one damn bit. He's only aged.

"We're gonna have guests... Greg Cote of the Miami Herald" ...Oh no...

This is what the internets exist for!

2021. Greatest sports talk show ever.

13:13 dan been messing up names. over/under retroactive fine amount starting at $750

Listening to this was such a pleasure. Can’t wait for the shackles to be released from this show. January 5th can’t come soon enough.

This IS the greatest show of all time !!! I love Dan and Stugotz !!! God bless you !!!😊😊😊😊

Such a classic. And the best part is his explanation of the show was perfect because it hasn’t changed a bit over 15 years.

Dan used to do an ESPN Sunday morning show sometime around 2005.

As someone from Des Moines, IA .. i love how they always go back to us when dissing a certain group

This 04 or 06? This awesome! Thanks for the upload.

I’ve been listening everyday since 09 caught the come up when they moved from a local show

I cant believe dan took calls

Dan looks so much better on radio

This is amazing & I'm only like 7 minutes in

I know nothing about the 2000’s Dolphins besides passing on Drew Brees so hearing Dan and Greg go to war about two blank faces at the quarterback position is nothing short of amazing

HA!! 1:08:16 David Carr the Perennial QB for the next decade from 2004 on, LOL

And we're all friends now!

Minus the inception, imaging and the shows current state it's like listening in 2017

Stugotz pre-phlegm

This is a gem. I truly wish you have ANYTHING from 06 pertaining to the Heat. I wonder how they reacted at the height of D-Wade's ascension

Greatest radio of all time the show About nothing love it!

dan was so angry in the first ep

The classic stugotz ad-libs..."sure".."mmhmm" as he is not listening at all. 😂😂

That Cote debut was absolutely perfect

37:11 Dan: “did you read the book ‘moneyball’?” Stu: “I did. (Long pause) bits and pieces…” There it is! The first lie!

thank u

How Dan describes PTI at 18:00 is exactly how people talk about Dan and Stu now.... chills

Best sorts radio show ever

Lol they could easily have turned out to hate each other lol.... Stu and Dan, it feels like an awkward blind date, or the first time you’ve met your girlfriends older brother

Mike Martz looks like Mrs. Doubtfire is one of my all time favorite 'looks like'.

Gravy Vampire and StuNotz in full effect.

dan-cote AJ feeley-jay fiedler standoff is giving me life

Epic monologue

Was the studio broadcasting audio from space? Jesus.

20 years🤩 been here since 2004. what a legend, 🦛 ( 🐐 ) lines up his next 20 years in his first 5 minutes. i come back here from time to time for a reminder. the show is the same since day 1

😄 Dan sounded like George Costanza back then!

I think Kornheiser's advice to Dan at the end of the show is underrated. I feel like that helped shape the show.

does anyone have access to lebatard show archives on 790 the ticket ? I listened from 2006 to 2012 and I want the episodes.

Yo Kornheiser came up with the idea for the shipping container.

He opens his first show like an angry camp counselor at a fat camp.

Gold

"I am Stugotz, the hoe" 😂 best show on radio

wow!!! ain't shit change!

Lol @ "the breaking news music" playing for too long during Cote's first appearance and the fact that this song is still used 14 years later for news updates

No "Suey!" as of yet for those horrible callers

This guy sounds so young and enthusiastic. I hope this show pics up some steam. Hang tough.

He is still telling the same stories today!

Where'd you find show archives that go this far back?

Can you do the show after the 06 championship?

Where do u find theese

Greg Côte!! 50:00

there's some Jim Rome in Lebetard's cadence.

His voice has changed.

Crazy to see how the show has changed. Definitely miss the shipping container filled with frightened refugees

YES!!! I love this fat angel!

680 The Ball!

Do you have more!? It's amazing.

Adore this show but Ugh, there was sooo much sports talk

G.O.A.T.

So many $2 fines for Dan in this episode....
