Agree that this will be good in the balance but I'd sure like to hear their plans sooner rather than later.

+ More time, probably
+ More Adnan, Amin, and other past contributors who fled to the Athletic and the like
+ Obvious freedom to make fun of sports and ad reads
+ Full cursing, possibly
+ No more lovely godawful athlete interviews where Dan has to draw blood out of a stone
+ More live and multimedia stuff


- Possible loss of Kirkjian, Bo, Pablo, Mina, Katie, Dom, and Sarah as contributors
- Unsure how much of the crew is coming. I could see Roy or Mike feeling nervous about leaving what's generally been a steady paycheck with a chance of upward mobility.
- They are a sports show from time to time and they'll lose some amount of access and stats

? Do they get to keep the Clevelander studio? ESPN doesn't really need that spot anymore and would probably like to cut more costs.
? Will music return to podcasts?
? Does ESPN claim anything of the show's creation as their IP? Would they keep the rejoins or Roy's Realm?
? Will Hello Fresh follow them?
? Do they keep 786-456-4837? How in Earth will we ever forget this number?
? Will the Big Voice return?

Hope they somehow take Katie with them as she's gotten really screwed over this past year and everyone else in the lebatard coaching tree appears to be on stable ground.

I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just some QB that I used to know
I know in the past Dan has said when they have people on from other networks like Joe Buck or Bob Costas, it is their contracts that limit the amount of appearances on other networks and that ESPN doesn't do that. Of course this was like 4 years ago so who knows.

To paraphrase the end of Sports Night: "anyone who can't make money off of the Dan LeBatard Show with Stugotz should get out of the money making business".

My favorite thing for a long time has been when Samson comes on the show. I don't watch Baseball and knew nothing about him. But man he's great to listen to. I watched that survivor season he was on and cried laughing at how he got himself voted out.

the part in the post-game show when a couple of the crew discuss jamming as many doctor visits as possible in before they're no longer ESPN employees is a loving grim reminder of how bad health care coverage is in the United States, holy god.

the Big Suey features the discussion that Dan is worried whenever they move to what's next he won't be partnered by Stugotz but instead his more pure form, John from Sales.

also that Greg Cote is trying to get the scoop on what they're doing after January 4.

Mina Kimes' mom is making a case to eventually fill Papi LeBatard's spot on ESPN by repeatedly embarrassing her daughter on Twitter.

Sarah Spain has a 90 minute episode of her podcast dedicated to LeBatard, Stugotz and the shipping container. She interviews a bunch of people about their favorite memories and stories working with the show.

Alec Baldwin's wife may have spent her entire adult life pretending to be hispanic, including speaking in a fake accent for years and years. Probably did. It's all very dumb, but disproportionately large since it's the type of scandal that is something so stupid you can just laugh about it.
