The Dan Le Batard Show

It's a Ron Magill Friday because we love our audience. Would Ron ever go by "Ronny" like Ol' Bobby Q did in grade school? Ron declares his legendary Roncula costume dead before sharing the sexiest part of the human body. Weird day around here. He also discusses orangutans smuggling wire to break out of their zoo enclosures, the intelligence of animals compared to humans, and a bear diving through a wired fence. Plus, Jim Trotter joins the show to discuss his recent column on Nick Bosa interrupting his teammate's postgame interview to show off his MAGA hat and refusing to answer questions about it. Trotter shares why he feels compelled to speak about the topic, the facts around his column being changed during the editing process, and why the financials of NFL owners, in his view, are more important them than his life and the lives of those who look like him.

Today's cast: Dan, Amin, Chris, Billy, Jeremy, Roy, and Tony. Dan is shocked this morning as we have finally found a topic that has the entire crew fired up: Jets vs. Texans on Thursday Night Football. If George Pickens' catch the other night wasn't a catch, how was Garrett Wilson's catch last night a catch? Where does the knee end and the shin begin? Why does Chris have SO many freckles? Then, Billy learns that Bob Costas went after him on yesterday's show and begins a feud with Bobby Q (even though he would tell you he didn't). We also pay tribute to Costas as he announced his retirement yesterday...but not on our show. Plus, Journalism is truly dead, and Amin threatens to show the audience something they don't want to see.

It is a century-old legend wrapped in a basketball conspiracy: The Skirvin Hotel in Oklahoma City was the visiting team's resting place of choice. Except the 10th floor was also (allegedly) home to a housekeeper who's been spooking all-stars for more than a decade. In a crossover Halloween spook-tacular, Pablo sends Oddball hosts Amin Elhassan and Charlotte Wilder on a ghost-hunting sleepover to investigate the foremost paranormal story in sports. They returned with data from the hardcourt to the toilet seat, plus a feisty Paul Pierce... and one gigantic inflatable horse costume.

Who has a massively popular podcast, a hilarious hit Netflix special, and a new movie which he wrote, produced and stars in? It’s Stavvy, baby! 

Stavros Halkias has reached the highest levels of comedy success and makes it look easy, but it took Stavvy years and years of grinding to make his dreams come true, not to mention the pressure of living up to the high expectations of immigrant parents… especially when you’re actually high. Stavvy also tells Dan about the life-changing success (and end) behind the Cum Town podcast, his athletic past, his pre-comedy dreams of going pro and how he keeps his love for sports alive through his alter-ego, Ronnie, the beloved, worst kind of Ravens superfan.

Go see Stavros’ new film, “Let’s Start a Cult,” in theaters now.
