Greg Cote Show podcast: Le Batard Show superfans explain the phenomenon, & teenage whiz kid authors
The Greg Cote Show podcast introduced itself last year as a variety show, and the latest episode out now might be the best example of that of any we have done.
Greg explores the phenomenon of the Dan Le Batard Show With Stugotz’s fanatical cult-like community of loyal fans — one that only seems to have grown as the show left ESPN, became a pirate ship, and now is poised to begin its DraftKings era.
Juju Gotti, the Atlanta rapper/superfan who became Le Batard’s social media director, sits in with us this episode to discuss how and why he came to follow the show. Another superfan, Yeti Blanc, our podcast’s new assistant producer, joins in the discussion.
Also in the new podcast:
▪ Greg and Chris chat with the co-authors of a new book, “The Stats Game: A Deep Dive Into Sports Analytics in the Modern Era.” It’s a must-hear for anybody into the trend that is changing the way teams operate. The authors, Aidan and Maxwell Resnick, happen to be identical twins. And teenagers!
▪ The guys discuss the exciting time in local sports, including the Miami Heat’s Udonis Haslem needing only three minutes in his first action of the season to create a memorable O.G. moment.
▪ Joe Biden, worried about the new cat in the White House, leaves another phone message for Greg.
▪ A new podcast sponsor, Nellie’s Diner, makes an appearance.
▪ The new Mount Gregmore of music acts unfairly snubbed by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
