BEHIND THE BIT: GREG COTE SCOOPS DAN'S ENGAGEMENT | The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

[@tylervaughan4792]

One of the best moments of the show. I remember listening live, it was amazing

[@sojefferson1]

100%

[@TheBluePhenom]

That day is top 2 in show history for me 😂

[@colinholder5438]

Agreed & that show was totally amazing!

[@shaneswann8089]

This moment happened when I first started listening 😂 and I'll never forget it

[@LloydBraun13]

Yup same

[@Truggahneer]

"Stu Gotz just texted me, "Congratulations'" will forever define the show!

[@SupermanA2K]

Then he though @sarahspain was Spain the country congratulating Dan.

[@gbmn03]

My all time favorite live moment in show history. This, , “strap it on Dan” ad read and the “beating off intruders” ad read. 😂

[@themoose0221]

"Here it is" had me dying back then and it has me dying now. Absolute perfection from Greg Cote.

[@ryanmerical2103]

One of the funniest moments on the show ever and I still laugh hard whenever I revisit it and hear Dan say “Stugotz just texted me “congratulations!” 😂😂😂

[@anthonydiaz3984]

This how I got into dan lebatard show thank you greg

[@Panhead49EL]

Scoopin' it!

[@TomTorbik]

Listening to this live was like being at Woodstock

[@Djpiglatin187]

Greg “Scoops” Cote!

[@gondolin999]

when they’re on break. i realize my sanity during the week depends on this show.. has for years. love it 😂

[@Richycito]

Behind the bit is the best segment ever.

[@billbixby7788]

I NEED SHOWS GODDAMMIT

[@BigZac904]

This is just what I need to feed the addiction.

[@joshcoffman7265]

Dan and gregs friendship is so great lol

[@TheBluePhenom]

I remember watching this live. Dan got more pissed with each person that called in that show to congratulate Dan 😂😂

[@robertzwack8412]

Great drop and it's one of the best genuine moments on the show. Long live Cote! Thank you guys!

[@chillbrownguy]

This moment and the steak chin bit is my top 2 😂

[@georgeparker8198]

This was absolutely fucking hilarious i remember watching it live 😂😂😂😂

[@timothymccullough889]

Stugotz just texted me 'congratulations'

[@robotdude]

I remember this so vividly haha 😂

[@lucasmcelroy2850]

This is an awesome idea for the show. I love the Behind the scenes look

[@claytonsteele5980]

More Stu next time in these. If you have to follow him out to the garage and get him while he’s smoking do it. More Stugotz.

[@rokka222]

Dan secretly loved that this happened. Also, it's the most insane thing Cote has done IMO...this is up there with the Hoch story without severe consequences

[@WilWeeks]

I can’t believe it wasn’t a bit and was really and that Greg is still here. Goddamn. Get his pieces of silver.

[@marytyrrell6710]

Thank you

[@erindetherage3600]

This was so good happening live time 😂

[@pcb4life3]

How do we know the bit behind the bit isn’t itself…..a bit?

[@Dmarvelous5000]

I guess Chris was right about worrying for his job back then. Love you all!

[@jodaddi8260]

So damn good

[@p.johnson1]

By the looks of Stugotz, this was what, 50 years ago?

[@andrewmoore7851]

At least 51

[@tony-0266]

Chris wearing the moob shirt

[@eseegee7386]

“But she knew” 😂

[@LuisFlores-wz1rs]

I already miss the show. Holiday vacation needs to end

[@vvillieP]

Chris Cote definitely knew 😂

[@josephstaton3561]

this was recorded during a bad arm week

[@Severtis]

That kind-a thing!

[@SupermanA2K]

Funniest moment I can remember or the recap of Dans wedding.

[@Reese13]

I still don't see what the big deal is. Mr. Cote's a writer. He wrote. Great job, Mr. Cote 🤜🏾🤛🏾😏.

[@Smokehogan1017]

Chris still got fired 😂

[@spartanedw]

Damn.. Dan looks so young.. the last 6 years have been President level of stressful to him lol

(written by Chat GPT) Title: Stugotz's Fever Dream Scene 1: Stugotz's Fever Dream Stugotz is tossing and turning in bed, drenched in sweat. The room is spinning as a low, eerie hum fills the air. Suddenly, a large, round shape begins to form in front of him. A hippopotamus, but not just any hippo-this one has the face of Dan Le Batard. It's... surreal. Stugotz (half awake): groggily "What the…? Dan? Is that you?" Le Batard-Hippo (in a deep, soothing voice): "Stugotz, my friend, you've got a lot to learn. But first... let’s talk about equality." Stugotz (confused): "Equality? What, like… we're all equal in the eyes of the hippo gods or something?" Le Batard-Hippo (nodding sagely): "Not just the hippo gods, Stugotz. But yes, especially the hippo gods. You see, people sometimes forget that we all wade through the same muddy waters. Your privilege is like a fast current, but some are stuck in the swamp. You've got to realize the struggle." Stugotz (still delirious): "Wait, are you telling me... I'm like... the current? Like I'm better than people who aren't swimming as fast as me?" Le Batard-Hippo (looking disappointed): "That's exactly it, Stugotz. You're the current, but you don’t even realize the swamp others are stuck in. They’re not failing; they’re being held back." The hippo raises one massive, wrinkled eyebrow. Le Batard-Hippo (sternly): "Race isn't just a game, Stugotz. It’s a whole damn race. And not everyone starts at the same starting line." Stugotz (fidgeting uncomfortably): "Whoa, Dan, I... uh... I think I'm starting to get it, but also, I’m pretty sure I'm still feverish and hallucinating." Le Batard-Hippo (smiling): "Good, because understanding is half the battle. Now, go back to sleep. And remember: equality isn’t something you talk about when it’s convenient-it’s something you live." With that, the hippo disappears into a puff of mist, leaving Stugotz staring wide-eyed at the empty space. Scene 2: The Clevelander, Miami Beach Stugotz and Le Batard are sitting at the bar, enjoying a couple of cold drinks, the Miami sun shining down on the crowd. Stugotz, still a bit shaken, suddenly leans over to Dan. Stugotz (breathlessly): "Dan, you will not believe the dream I just had. It was, like, crazy. You... you were a hippo. No, seriously-a giant hippo with your face, and you-" Dan raises an eyebrow, already knowing where this is going. Le Batard (calmly): "Was I giving you life lessons about race and equality?" Stugotz (stunned): "Yeah, that’s the thing! You were like, teaching me all this stuff about how I’m the current and people are stuck in the swamp and how I need to understand-" Le Batard (nodding, leaning back): "Yeah, sounds about right." Stugotz (pausing, trying to digest): "But it was you, Dan. In the form of a fat hippo, teaching me about privilege and equality. Like... are we all just supposed to wake up from our dreams and change, or-" Le Batard (wisely): "No one wakes up from a dream and changes, Stugotz. Change happens when you start living what you’ve learned... when the dream’s over, you’ve got to do the work. And sometimes, it starts with a hippo." Stugotz stares at him, trying to process. Stugotz (nodding slowly): "Yeah... yeah, I think I get it. But still-a hippo, Dan?" Le Batard (grinning): "It’s a metaphor. The hippo... he’s got wisdom, my friend." They both laugh, clinking their glasses together as the warm Miami breeze sweeps by, leaving Stugotz feeling a little wiser than before-at least for today. End scene.

[@jaytorr6701]

Wait a moment.... I alway thought this was a bit.. Thst it was staged. Greg REALLY DID THAT??!!!

[@professorsrdesai]

20 years is not something I can support.

[@adamjameson4505]

A couple of Scoops, betrayin it up!

[@agb95]

Wow. Early.

[@vvillieP]

What are these bits? And what’s wrong with these people?

[@MightyMayo1202]

After this, I became fully in Foxworth's camp on hating Cote.
