Chapter 1: What is the story behind the iconic tequila brand Cuervo?

1.573 - 9.1 Advertisement voice

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here?

35.924 - 39.589 DraftKings Network Announcer

This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.

44.039 - 55.828 Dan Le Batard

Aslo is totally fitting in around here in that I asked him to have prepared for this segment the second of the shirts from his closet, and he has forgotten. He doesn't have the shirt on him.

55.848 - 56.988 Wild Willy Wednesday

I absolutely do.

57.128 - 70.798 Dan Le Batard

Oh, you do? Okay. It's well hidden from me. Now I'm not fitting in because I'm doing my job. Okay. You have it somewhere on you. I just see two shirts discarded behind you. Now he's pointing to his crotch. My bad. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

70.838 - 73.06 Zaslow

Do you think he lost it between when he got here and now?

Chapter 2: Why is there distrust around modern payment methods like Apple Pay?

351.907 - 355.31 Wild Willy Wednesday

Like, there's so many things. Like, you're worried about too many things.

0

355.37 - 356.391 Zaslow

What do you mean? How so?

0

356.471 - 358.012 Wild Willy Wednesday

That's what I mean. I just said what I mean.

0

358.032 - 362.296 Zaslow

I'm not. What do you mean? That's what I mean. What am I too worried about? What should I be worried about?

0

362.316 - 366.219 Wild Willy Wednesday

There's all these things going on with you. You don't want to do this. You don't want to do this.

366.239 - 384.192 Zaslow

You're too involved. Nah, dog. I'm telling you. This is what happens. People come after me. They come after me. And, like, I need to know. I can't trust no one. There's one person I can trust. It's me. So if someone's saying, especially a stranger, trust me on this, no thank you. I've been burned too many times. I know not to trust anyone around here. You can only trust me.

384.472 - 386.152 Zaslow

And even me, I'm a slippery one.

389.054 - 394.535 Dan Le Batard

Dog. You did hit him with a dog because you're not used to somebody coming at you as aggressively as Zaz did.

394.575 - 401.56 Zaslow

No, because he says dog, so I was trying to get him on my side. I like the tension you two have over the last couple of days. We don't have tension. I feel like we're close. Are we not close?

Chapter 3: What are the risks and scams associated with parking and trusting strangers?

1561.87 - 1567.672 Wild Willy Wednesday

Do you think of what the Knicks could have? They gave up five unprotected for Mikel Briggs. What could they have gotten for that?

0

1567.812 - 1573.354 Dan Le Batard

But, I mean, when you give that much up for him, you announce on the spot, we think of you that way.

0

1573.574 - 1591.336 Amin Elhassan

Dan, this is the point that I made at the time, because everyone was like, well, it's the power of friendship. Oh, they're going to hold the buddies. Who would do that? The reality is this thing, this ecosystem, this trade marketplace, it has meaning and it has value.

0

1591.396 - 1612.152 Amin Elhassan

And so when you send, even if he's this hidden gem that no one is picking up on, no one else would ever give up five first round picks. But let's just assume the Knicks had the foresight. They're like, no, actually, he might be the best player in the league and you guys just don't know it yet. His market value was not that. You don't overpay on that because A, What if you're wrong?

0

1612.392 - 1624.459 Amin Elhassan

But B, it reduces your ability to do other things. The reason why the Knicks can't improve their roster anymore now is because they don't have picks. You don't think with the Sionis issue right now, they would have loved to have some of those first round picks back?

1624.699 - 1642.17 Dan Le Batard

Well, the thing about Leon Rose and the Knicks architecture that I find fascinating right now as they reach, I believe, a real pressure point. I mean, they built something. that now has expectations when they haven't closed out a home playoff game for their customers this century.

1642.77 - 1665.486 Dan Le Batard

And when you give that fan base two years allowed, it comes with expectations that if it loses in the first round to the Detroit Pistons, the level of anger that I'm already hearing from the New York fan toward Thibodeau, toward everybody who's not Brunson, everybody who's not Brunson at heart is getting crushed because the expectations on this team are higher than they've been in a century.

1665.666 - 1675.29 Amin Elhassan

The first guy on the chopping block is the butcher, unfortunately. He's the one, if it goes down, the first person who's getting blamed, and by blamed I mean losing the job.

1675.31 - 1689.856 Dan Le Batard

It's already happening, though. I'm hearing and watching. I'm soaking in these Knicks broadcasts as they're happening, and they're just yelling at Thibodeau with an anger that suggests they don't think he can do this job. And I'm like, I kind of trust that coach.
