The Best of Stugotz and Company LIVE! features a lively, humorous discussion among hosts Stu Gatz, Taylor, and Izzy, joined by SNL's Mikey Day, as they dive into NFL draft critiques, fan culture, and absurd sports trivia. The episode opens with a series of sponsored promos for iHeartRadio podcasts like Superhuman, Humor Me, and Stuff to Blow Your Mind, before launching into a spirited debate on draft grades, with particular focus on the San Francisco 49ers' controversial C grade from Mel Kuyper. The hosts mock the notion of 'draft success' when teams like the Jets and Raiders receive praise despite poor playoff prospects, and debate whether mock drafts are still relevant. The highlight is the 'Mount Rushmore Monday' segment, where they humorously rank the most 'tortured' fan bases—ranging from the Jets and Miami Dolphins to the Seattle Mariners, NC State, and even English soccer fans—culminating in a playful, tongue-in-cheek victory for Mikey Day, who wins by selecting the Clippers as his tortured fan base. The episode blends satire, sports fandom, and self-aware commentary on media narratives, all delivered with the show's signature irreverent energy.
Mock drafts and draft grades are often misleading and don't predict real-world success.
The most 'tortured' fan bases aren't always the worst teams—they're the ones with consistent near-misses and high expectations.
The San Francisco 49ers’ draft grade of C is more about board divergence than actual performance.
Fan loyalty and emotional investment often outlive team success, especially in franchises like the Jets and Clippers.
Sponsorship segments are integrated humorously, with ironic references to outdated websites like Walter Football and mbadraft.net.

The episode opens with a series of iHeartRadio podcast promos for Superhuman, Humor Me, Stuff to Blow Your Mind, and Learn the Hard Way, setting a playful, media-savvy tone before the live show begins.
NFL Draft Critique: The 49ers & Mel Kuyper
“If you get the number one overall pick, do not come anywhere close to my list of teams that did well. I don't want to hear it. You have to hit a home run with that first round pick, with that first pick. Otherwise, you failed miserably.”
The Myth of the 'Perfect' Draft
“They're the best until it's time to play football. I have an aggregate chart here of the top 24 draft grades... the San Francisco 49ers ranked 30th.”
Mount Rushmore Monday: Tortured Fan Bases
“I'm going to take the New York Jets here. Just a tortured fan base who always expects the worst. And when you tell us and you give us A-plus draft grades, we tell you no. D-plus.”
Final Picks & Playful Rivalry
The hosts conclude with absurd final picks, including James Harden fans and the Oklahoma City Thunder, before a mock 'ruling' by 'Monty' declares Mikey Day the winner in a humorous, self-aware finale.
“I'm going to take the Eagles fan base. They're never happy. They win a Super Bowl, they want to cut the quarterback.”
“James Harden fans? He doesn't have any. They're all the strip club.”
“If you get the number one overall pick, do not come anywhere close to my list of teams that did well. I don't want to hear it. You have to hit a home run with that first round pick, with that first pick. Otherwise, you failed miserably.”
