The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Deep Dive
Why did Stugotz decide to write a book?
Stugotz was introduced to a literary agent by Mike Schur, which led to an offer from Random House. The primary motivation was the audience, with financial gain as a secondary factor.
Why is the audiobook version of Stugotz's book delayed?
Stugotz wanted to enhance the audiobook with additional elements like top fives and sound effects, which required more work and editing.
What is the 'show me' game for Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins?
Dan Levitard declared this week as a 'show me' game for Tua and the Dolphins, meaning they need to prove their worth by winning a significant game on the road to earn fans' hope and trust.
Why did Dolphins fans react negatively to Billy's comments about Tua?
Fans reacted negatively because of selective editing that omitted context, making it seem like Billy was predicting another concussion for Tua, which is a sensitive topic for Dolphins fans.
How has Tua Tagovailoa performed this season compared to previous years?
Tua has been one of the elite quarterbacks in the NFL this season, showing significant improvement in his progressions and decision-making on the field.
What role did Dan Stanzik play in the creation of Stugotz's book?
Dan Stanzik was the primary author of the book, doing about 90% of the work. He coordinated with contributors and handled most of the writing and editing tasks.
Why did the publisher ask to remove mentions of the New York Times bestseller list from promotional materials?
The New York Times gets finicky when publishers mention the bestseller list in promotional materials, as it can be seen as trying to manipulate the list's status.
