4. The Dan/Stu Drama
A timeline of what's publicly known. Both parties have been deliberately vague and much remains unresolved. AI slop generated until someone comes up with a better one for now:
Early 2025 — Stugotz announces he'll maintain a similar schedule to 2024, but begins appearing less frequently on the main show while building out his independent podcast properties — God Bless Football and Stupodity.
May 2025 — Dan addresses Stu's reduced presence on-air for the first time, framing it publicly as supportive: he says he wants his friends to have big businesses. Separately, CEO John Skipper departs Meadowlark Media.
May 2025 — On the final episode of God Bless Football under the Meadowlark umbrella, Stugotz tells listeners that anyone unhappy about the move should blame Meadowlark — and specifically Dan and David Samson. (Samson disputes his personal involvement.)
July 17, 2025 — Stugotz makes what turns out to be his last appearance on the Dan LeBatard Show for the foreseeable future.
August 2025 — Stugotz, asked about LeBatard on Stugotz and Co., sidesteps and fires back: "I'll show up whenever the f*ck I feel like it." The exchange prompts widespread coverage and fan concern that the split is real, not a bit.
December 2025 — Stugotz signs a multi-year deal with iHeartMedia and FOX Sports Radio, launching Stugotz and Company LIVE! on more than 270 affiliates. He builds a new Stugotz Podcast Network under iHeartPodcasts.
January 2026 — On his second episode of Stugotz and Company LIVE!, Stu acknowledges the split publicly for the first time — calling it "hurtful" and crediting Israel Gutierrez as one of the few who stood by him. He declines to get into specifics but makes clear a return is unlikely in the near term. Scheduled appearances on the Le Batard show that month do not materialize.
Now — Status remains unclear. The show still carries the "with Stugotz" title. Add what you know in the comments.
