Hour 3: Zaslow's Interactive Movie Proposal (feat. Bobby Wagner)

In this episode of The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz, the hosts dive into a mix of sports, entertainment, and cultural commentary, beginning with a deep dive into Kalen DeBoer's lucrative college football contract and the absurd perks that come with it. The conversation shifts to the highly anticipated remake of Miami Vice, now titled Miami Vice 85, with excitement building over its 1980s period setting, Michael Mann’s involvement, and the casting of Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler as Crockett and Tubbs. The hosts express concern over the critical reception of the Michael Jackson biopic 'Michael,' which is being panned despite its star power, and debate the ethical trade-offs when estates control music rights and demand sanitized narratives. This leads to a broader discussion about the power of entertainment estates and the loss of artistic truth in favor of commercial access. The episode then transitions into a baseball-focused segment, where guest Bobby Wagner joins to discuss the Mets' 11-game losing streak and the Dodgers' recent loss to the Rockies—sparking a playful debate over whether the Rockies were cheating. The hosts also highlight Jose Soriano’s dominant start for the Angels and praise emerging stars like Andy Pajez and Jordan Alvarez. The episode closes with a nostalgic trivia game on 2005 MLB walks, culminating in a dramatic win for Jeremy after a tense back-and-forth.
