A Leader Emerges as a Union Rises | The Dan LeBatard Show with Stugotz

We begin with the unholy alliance between David Samson and JuJu Gotti who somehow know the same people and are both tattoo guys. JuJu reveals some deep stories from his personal life. Then, David attempts to unionize Mission Control despite the fact that they're generally apprehensive about him being the leader. Plus, how do you become a heavy sleeper?

The Juju SBS episode is gonna hit so hard when they eventually do it . He’s definitely been through a lot and I have a feeling it’s gonna be the best one

[@SUPESKI]

Can’t wait for that. Juju is and always will be the voice of the fans. He keeps it 💯 and holds accountability for the show from our frustrations.

[@mixedvadude]

Jess loves to virtue signal when she FEELS other people are being mean. But she very low-key is usually the meanest one in the shipping container to the others (sans Billy towards Tony lol) with a lot of her comments.

[@ashepherdcomedy]

She's awful. Has been a terrible fit on the show but since Dan is incapable of firing anyone we are stuck with her

[@romeyrome32]

You're dead on. Jess and Mike have a real bad habit of telling others how and what to feel and think.

[@car34bx]

Smetty wet blanketed that whole segment. Everybody's being nice and happy and she's just inserting negativity

[@payday85]

Excellent ending to the smartest and most vulnerable week in show history Standing applause

[@LaQuemini]

Wait it's Friday isnt it!?! Extra content!

[@LeBatardShow]

Bonus hour'n it!

[@tomdrake3787]

Not sure why Jess decided to kill the genuine nice moment between David and JuJu

[@babyspider99]

Because she is an insufferable smug millennial. Absolutely trashes David Sampson for his immense privilege but seems to fail to recognize hers.

[@babyspider99]

And lastly because she comes off as a bit*h in my opinion.

[@tedgralinski1690]

She’s a #showkiller

[@lanceroberson3089]

Yeah, a very odd thing to do.

[@ashepherdcomedy]

Because she is a smug buzzkill

[@gustavonavas727]

If Pablo is Dan...David is Stu G? What, no right? Yeah...no said Ken Roy

[@williamadams9109]

I think it should be the mission container …. Or the shipping control tattoo’s are look at me Louie

[@p.johnson1]

Has anyone sat Jessica down and asked if she maybe wants to do something else/work somewhere else? She hates David, she's cold, hates the bathroom situation, and has to nap once she leaves work just to rejuvenate herself. Not saying fire her, but the way she talks, the healthiest thing for her would probably be to quit.

[@stevenfernandez4845]

The point in the video where she spoke most, she talked about how much things have improved in the studio regarding food and certain culture dynamics. But you let her joking ragging of David get you in your feelings. Dudes like you are just set out to hate on Jess regardless of context

[@babyspider99]

She is a whiner and needs to be coddled. Oh no, she has to get up early and do an entertainment show. Bit*h, there are men and women doing hard labor with their bodies before the sun comes up. Nurses, delivery workers, service industry workers, construction people. I don't hold these people on the show with the same level as people who work laborious jobs. They work in entertainment, it's a luxury job regardless of how "stressful" it is.

[@p.johnson1]

@@stevenfernandez4845 Not sure how I "hated on Jess" by genuinely asking if she's ok or would rather be doing something else, but I'm sure it made you feel good to run to her rescue, so good for you👏👏👏

Ugh, Jess. Got it. You don't like Samson. Civility to your coworkers isn't a huge ask.

​@ufelzonme I wouldn't say bullying. Being a condescending asshole who derails the show is more appropriate.

[@tres254]

David and Juju are the gifts that keep giving 10,000%

JuJu 💪🏼💪🏼. Bro that was deep. Mad respect. 💪🏼💪🏼

[@DamianGshow]

The more juju is on the show the more it feels like he's been here for years. Love it

[@mrocco3959]

He's a gem. Needs to be in studio more.

[@LBxType1]

Lol he has

[@Hartful13]

If you know David Samson's history with the Marlins, him leading a Union is 2023 irony at its best

That was the joke, man. It went over your head like a bulimic on a seesaw.

[@babyspider99]

You people are such sorry victims

[@dorothygale1104]

@@limitlesspursuit 19 years as president of a major league baseball team is pretty damn successful. How many people walking the planet have that level of success on their resume? Of course what he talks about is based upon what he saw and experienced as a president of an MLB team. He isn’t going to talk about what he didn’t see and experience!?!?!? Duh. Einstein, a person has to be successful enough to be the president of an MLB team to be able to talk about what he saw and experienced in that position. Yeah, he’s not really successful because he is just talking about his experience in his successful position as a 19-year MLB team president. Your logic doesn’t remotely begin to make sense.;

[@dorothygale1104]

@K How many people walking the planet have been an MLB team president for 19 years? I bet your resume is so thoroughly impressive, such that you are qualified to hurl snark from the cheap seats. Lady, you are trying to punch way above your pay grade.

I enjoyed watching Pablo and Samson host the show all week. I wish me from 5 years ago could see this

[@timbrown6715]

Take me to dinner first😂😂😂 Juju always has great one liners

[@nathanshapiro2719]

Why is Jessica so mean to Samson. I get they don’t agree with each other on everything but you also don’t have to be mean

[@nathanshapiro2719]

Maybe it’s a bit

[@babyspider99]

It needs to stop, it's a bad bit. Makes her look bad and extremely disrespectful to a coworker. Definitely not playful

[@hekshor505]

She’s an alpha unlike Simpson

[@ashepherdcomedy]

​@@nathanshapiro2719 God I'm so over dipshits thinking everything is a bit as if these people were some comedic geniuses who are that organized. They really have you fooled

Not Jessica’s best show. I think she was trying to be funny but her David Samson jokes never land.

Jess is annoying and just hates David

Humanizing David Samson! I’m all here for it! I always thought he got a bad wrap. But I’m sure if Dan was here, he’d just constantly remind everyone of his resume in Miami.

Smetty, I hope eventually Sampson gets to fire your complaining azz. That would be justice

Used to despise David but damn the more he’s on the show, the more I’m growing to like the guy. Love Dan and Stu but the david and pablo dynamic was great

David WOULD organize a union, but Dan would just just pay him a bit more to crush it instead.

[@timbrown6715]

Wowser…how many employers provide food for their employees

[@babyspider99]

Very few, and you watch, they will still find other things to complain about. They claim to be anti management but yet work in an environment of management. They are better off not to talk about certain things about their jobs.

Anyone else kinda bummed to hear the crew doesn’t hang out that often after their shift is over? I know a lot of them have families, but I figured they hung out more than just for Mystery Crate. Guess this episode really woke me up from that SbtB “friends forever” dream (clearly not a lucid one). Also the “you’ve never thought of these things, but if you thought them through …” comment was so revealing. Like David can’t even fathom a world where people have actually thought these things through and still arrived at a place where they don’t care and it doesn’t bother them. Can’t wait for his review of Beau is Afraid.

[@babyspider99]

How are all you people so blind, this is entertainment, that's it. And I'm quite certified there are people on this show who may not like each other but simply tolerate each to get the job done

@@babyspider99 You would think throwing in a Saved by the Bell dream-sequence reference would convey awareness on the ridiculousness of my imagined scenario.
