The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Jonathan Zaslow is man we love. But is he a man we know? That's what we set out to do on Football America! We get into the deep conversations of life with our good friend. Starting, of course, with a consequential debate about the Vegas Omelette Bar. Is it worth the wait? Can you ever get a decent fluffy omelette at a buffet? Or is it place of disappointment? Zaslow gives us the answer. We go from there to his thoughts on fashion: Gold Jacket vs Green Jacket. Zaslow has a natural love for sports. He's the voice in our industry that we need. We're thrilled whenever his plane lands on Football America! AUDIO Football America! is available wherever you listen to podcasts.

David is at Disney World, and Rose is in Guatemala, so Roy and Ethan are holding it down in the studio for this edition of The Hockey Show. The two discuss the Islanders' late-season coaching change, letting Patrick Roy go in favor of Peter DeBoer, before diving into the thrilling playoff races in both conferences that could come down to the final day of the regular season. This week's guest is Dave Dameshek, who joins the show to tell Roy and Ethan a story, but ends up yammering at them for much longer than planned about the Pittsburgh Penguins. He also wants to know why people hate Sidney Crosby and ends up in a screaming match with Ethan about it. It's basically Dan's dream edition of The Hockey Show. Learn more about your ad choices.

Rob Corddry makes everything he's in better. From grand Shakespearean aspirations to getting work playing all the douchebags you love to hate ("Hot Tub Time Machine", "Children's Hospital", "Ballers"), Rob is simply too funny to let Dan "The Grief Eater" Le Batard make this a downer episode. Instead, Dan and Rob share laughs, dive deep into Rob finding his dream job as a correspondent alongside Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," and the absurdity of Hollywood, keeping things refreshingly light. "The Audacity", starring Rob Corddry, Zach Galifianakis, Billy Magnussen, Sarah Goldberg, and Simon Helberg, premieres Sunday, April 12th at 9PM ET/PT on AMC and AMC+ Learn more about your ad choices.
