The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Jess Battles AI + Pablo Calls Method Man 'Method' | Hour 3
13 May 2026
Chapter 1: What recent incident made Dan question his contacts?
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stukas Podcast. So Dan and I during the break were further discussing the whole idea that anyone with an ownership stake in Meadowlark should feel proud of having won or been a part of the Pulitzer Prize. And I have to admit, I've come around to it because I asked Dan, I used an example, I own 2.5% of a racehorse.
If my racehorse wins the Kentucky Derby, can I say that I'm a part of that?
Chapter 2: How did AI become a controversial topic at UCF's commencement?
And he said, yeah, absolutely. And you know what? Damn it, he's right. If I own the right ear of a racehorse that wins the Kentucky Derby, I'm going to be at that racetrack in the winner's circle because I'm entitled to. So there. I just texted my wife. Babe, I want you to know, Dan wants me to tell you that I'm a Pulitzer Prize winner. I'm going to update you on what she tells me. Nice.
I will talk to Jessica about this in a second.
I'll text my wife as well.
I also want some advice from you guys.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of AI on job security for graduates?
I'm surprised your wife is talking to you. The text here that I just got, I'm wondering how you guys would respond to this because the text reads, I was not my sharpest self this morning, so if it came across fumbly, I apologize. This text is not meant for me. I don't know who this is. This is not something that I had as an interaction this morning.
Do I just make this person feel bad by saying wrong number? Are they going to feel extra worse? Because their message, their apology is not getting wherever it is that they want it to get to. Jessica, do you have any advice for me here on what I do here? What do I write back to this person to not make them feel already worse than they do?
But I don't think I should ignore it because if I ignore it, they're not going to get their apology where it was meant.
How well do you know this person?
Chapter 4: What snacks are considered the best of all time?
I don't know. I don't have any relationship with this person.
Now, I would say real fast, think about everyone you've spoken to today. Do you have all their numbers saved?
I didn't have an interaction this morning that would require an apology from anybody. This is not a person I know.
Just because she referenced 730. Trista was on with us earlier. She's like, it's 730. He's right. Like, could this be a Trista number that you don't have?
Yeah.

Chapter 5: How do Sarkisian and Kiffin's comments reflect on college football?
I think the chances are good there's only one person in your life who uses the word fumbly. Who is that person? You guys think Trista had a bad segment? No, not at all. No, not at all.
I'm an ally.
We're trying to think whose number you might not have. I'm telling you it's a wrong number.
Chapter 6: What are the ethical concerns surrounding AI in content creation?
This is absolutely the wrong place that they sent this message. Now what do I do? You spit it back on them.
I like Greg's methodology here. Let's analyze who would say fumbly. What demographic do we think is saying fumbly? That certainly narrows it down.
Female.
I could see Trista saying fumbly. Fumbly to me sounds like something Greg's demo would say.
Fumbly does not sound gender specific to me and I don't think we can profile based on demographics of a word. They make mistakes.

Chapter 7: How does the conversation shift towards Method Man's name?
It does sound like an old person or a woman if I'm being honest. An old woman. There you go. They're both the worst. Check out her weekly Notre Dame podcast, The Echoes, with Mike Golick Jr. I don't believe her Bane makes an impersonation there. At least I have not heard it. Has misogynist Bane made an impersonation there?
Not yet, Dan, but there's always time. You never know. There's a lot going on in the college sports world this week that very little has to do with playing sports games.
Yeah, let's talk about some of that. So what happened here? What was your take on Sark basically saying Ole Miss is dumb and doing so with the basket weaving cliche I haven't heard in a while?
I haven't heard that in a while.
Chapter 8: What is the significance of snacks in the podcast discussion?
Where does that come from? I have not heard that in a very long time.
And would it be an easy class we were discussing earlier? That doesn't sound like an easy class to me.
He, like, unloaded to USA Today in this story. He was just going off about everything. This is the time of year where everyone has, like, the spring games are over and all the coaches have way too much time on their hands, so they're all doing, like, podcasts. Like, Dabo went on Greg McIlroy's podcast last week.
Brian Kelly went on a podcast this past week and made a bunch of comments about using AI. And now you've got Lane Kiffin getting profiled by Vanity Fair and all these Sark comments about Ole Miss. He also took shots at Miami, Dan.
I'm not sure if you saw that, but he said that Miami basically was making the argument that Miami shouldn't have made the college football playoff over Texas last year because Texas had more ranked wins than Miami did. So he was just sounding off about all of it. And my favorite part is obviously that Arch Manning is the quarterback at Texas.
And I have a feeling that the Manning family is probably like, that's funny. He took shots at a different SEC school. What are you doing?
I hadn't considered that Eli Manning might be, yeah, he's top two most famous player to ever play there, is he not? Or Archie. Yeah. That too. The Manning family cares. What about the basket weaving portion of this and the underwater portion of this? Tony, did you have it right or did you get bad information from AI that Rutgers actually has an underwater basket weaving course?
Because I find it hard to believe that they would do that as anything but a joke.
It's a rec class that you can take with the scuba and aquarium situation over there at Rutgers.
