Dan Le Batard and Jon “Stugotz” Weiner, hosts of the popular daytime ESPN Radio program The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz have signed multiyear agreements to remain with ESPN. The duo will continue to host their Miami-based program, from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. ET, on ESPN Radio (and simulcast on ESPNEWS). Le Batard will also continue to co-host Highly Questionable alongside his father Gonzalo “Papi” Le Batard and another of a rotating crop of guest hosts. Le Batard will also conduct six longform interviews each year that will live across multiple ESPN platforms including TV and digital. Weiner will make appearances on SportsCenter and continue hosting and guesting on other ESPN Radio shows.


I was actually kind of hoping they'd go to satellite to see how Lebatard would be uncensored by ESPN, but figured ESPN Radio couldn't afford to lose this show.

It's one of, if not the biggest sports radio show in America I think.

So, yes would be the answer.

I mean when he goes into this mode, I check out.

but its a really entertaining show and he's just sort of the ring master to the rest of the crew. He and stugotz need each other too, I've found when one or the other is out the show isn't nearly as good.

I really didn't like the show at first when he took over this slot, but have come around.

I usually turn the channel when this happens. But it's a great listen the other 80% of the time

Jon “Stugotz” Weiner,

I didn't know that Stugotz was a nickname until last week. For the longest time I thought Stu Gotz was his full name, then I realized like a year ago that his first name was Jon, so I just figured that Stugotz was his last name.

Lebatard is entertaining radio most of the time. Their looks like bits, while user generated, are probably my favorite thing on the radio.

However, I've started to listen to Pat McAfee on Barstool Radio with Sirius. It's the same time slot, I believe. It's a solid show, but inconsistent. Similar entertainment and very little traditional sport discussion, which I prefer. I can't sit and listen to a national show full of callers in the morning. No host knows enough to answer all the random local shite people want to discuss.

The show is really good when dan isn’t talking about social issues. That’s only about 30% of the time, so I just turn it off during that time.
