In the most tense episode yet of the Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show With Stugotz, Dan, Stu, Mike and Marc Hochman do their best to take us inside what ultimately led to Hoch's departure from the show. The crew also dives into whether Stugotz was ever close to leaving the show as he and Hoch found success doing two-a-days in the mornings. After Hoch leaves, Mike Ryan takes the reigns as executive producer and fights the internal struggle not only to keep the show running clean but to gain Dan's trust. Plus, as the show tries to find a third voice, some of the show's most iconic characters like Greg Cote, Bomani Jones, Stan Van Gundy and Fake Howard join the show to help provide Dan and Stu some relief. While all of this is happening, a young Roy Bellamy, Billy Gil and Chris Cote are just joining the show and trying to find where they fit in. It's a loaded episode that you will not want to miss.
