In the second installment of the Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz, Dan, Stu and Mike Ryan take us through the era of the show between 2007-2010. A wild period for the show, the episode begins with an executive calling Stugotz from a tree in Texas. That marked the end of Primetime Media Group, and Stugotz discusses how he kept the station alive by orchestrating the takeover of 790 The Ticket by Lincoln Financial Media. You'll here from who the crew credits as the show's savior, Dennis Collins, about why 790 was an attractive investment. Then, the crew talks about Roy joining the show, the show's pursuit of taking down Hank Goldberg in the ratings and how live events became such a big part of growing the show's audience. You'll hear from former executive producer, Marc Hochman, about the legendary Wanny McStache's and Jai-Alai events. Also, the show goes viral for the first time as they invade Randy Moller's Panthers' broadcasts with his iconic goal calls. Finally, Hoch decides to take on more power by becoming Program Director at 790, and the cracks begin to show as we look toward Episode 3. Stick around for the Supercut from this time period which includes some of the show's most hilarious and iconic moments including the Joan Rivers hangup, the Julio Franco story and Dan and Stu's legendary call of a Marlins game.
