Chapter 1: What are the highlights of the Dan Le Batard Show episode?
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
All right, welcome to the Sands Dan Levitard Show once again. Game four, people, and we bring in one new member of the team, Roy Returns, but a new member of the team, Jeremy.
I'm here to make sure we get to five games.
No, Jeremy. You know how the league is like, the conspiracy theories, like this needs to go the full five in order to get the ratings up. That's what Jeremy's here for. We did. We went on a hot streak.
We won yesterday, and we're like, get Jeremy for tomorrow. You're welcome.

Chapter 2: How does NBA fandom relate to GM culture?
It's like the ref. They send in that one ref. He's got to call a close one. I'm Scott Foster. Way to go, Adam Silver, to try to stretch this game out. So that means you want to start with the Dodgers. Now, we'll get to the Dodgers. We got Ja Morant gun stuff. We're going to do some Saudi Wealth Fund investment in sports. Charlie and I became gym bros yesterday.
Amin thinks he's much cooler than me. Melo going to the Hall of Fame. Where do you want to start, Amin?
I want to talk about... What kind of nerd you and this and that are. Can we start with sports? No. You asked me where I wanted to start. I know. You could have started anywhere.
You could have started whatever sports topic you want. So before the show, I was like, hey, what do you want to talk about? We could talk about the Suns, where Kevin Durant's going to end up next year, how the Suns had a 2-0 lead in the finals, and now this feels like the most disappointing amalgamation of talent since, I guess, since the Nets. Yeah. Which was also a Kevin Durant product.
But you want to talk about how uncool I am. Knock yourself out.
What happened last night, man? Nothing happened last night. Look, I hit up Goff. I was like, what's up, man? He's like, hey, we're grabbing dinner, and then let's grab drinks. I'm like, cool. So, like, around 9, 9.30, I'm like, hey, man, what's up? What's going on? We didn't hear from you guys. I get a text back at, like, 10.15. I think we're going to call it a night.
I'm like, at 10.15? I'm asking for a drink. Yeah. Y'all can't do one round?
Well, they sell them whether I'm there or not, so you can go ahead and get you one. However, yes, I was done. So, I think... It's like, so Charlie and I went and worked out yesterday. And Charlie and I do, I mean, we did a little different stuff because, like, we're in different situations. I feel like you're a major league.
night guy i'm not anymore i'm out of the major league night game i'm a minor league night guy my night's in early so when i heard i gotta be honest with you when i heard that amin wanted to hang out with us i got nervous i was like i'm not ready for that game i ain't ready for that game you see like you act like i won't adjust like you know if i'm playing basketball with little kids i'm not out here throwing bows and like slapping boards and like shoving them out the way okay i know how to play nice and like

Chapter 3: Why is waking up early a point of pride?
It kind of sounds like you're using a typewriter even though the word processor was invented. You know that you can have, because it sounds like the sleep is not restful if you're concerned the whole time about when, if I'm up in time. So why don't you just set an alarm and sleep till the alarm goes off?
Well, first of all, I love that the peak of technology and advancement is the word processor for you. Put on the pole, Juju, do you know what a word processor is?
It was just the best analogy I could think of as a- Well said. Yeah, a word processor. It was just the best analogy I could come up with. So I guess I don't understand the reason for not setting alarm when we have- Don't need it. You're one of these guys.
The guilt wakes me up. You're like, oh, it's time to get up, start my day. I'm like- Okay, the day has started. Like, that's how I am. I wake up like that. Always, it's like a shock.
So you're like how Deion Sanders said, like, a lion don't need to stretch. You just, like, I don't need no assistance. You want me to warm up? I was made for this. I hop up ready to work because of guilt.
I wish I didn't have to stretch. But, yes, pretty much. Like, I don't sleep a lot. I sleep, like, maybe, like, four to five hours a night.
Do you take pride in this, though? Because I don't want to make it seem like I'm being judgmental because I'm sure there are some weird, unnecessary things just as a man that I take pride in that's ridiculous. But this seems like a ridiculous thing where it's like, I could set an alarm and sleep more comfortably and restfully and get up.
But you just like to be able to walk around and say, hey, you know what I don't do? I don't use no alarms. That's the type of mother****** I am.
Well, first of all, we're on air. Second of all, you're making the assumption. You muffled. You muffled.

Chapter 4: What makes Amin 'The Dream' Elhassan unique?
Chapter 5: How do ad reads contribute to podcasting?
Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo. I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.
Cuervo.
Cuervo.

Chapter 6: What are the latest updates on the Miami Heat?
Oh, gotcha. Oh, the spin.
I didn't know. I heard. It sounded like something dripping. I was like, is it raining in here?
There's a couple of things in there that I thought was interesting. It's interesting that there are these competing interests that, while I thought that it's only one drive is to not be good, that in this situation, the Heat have the drive to protect their picks.
going forward, which would be another, could be a potential future solution to where it's like you can't have so many losing seasons in a row or you'd lose your draft pick. But the other thing that pops out to me is there's some things that are simple about sports and entertainment of any variety is that your incentives should be very clear to you.
The idea that there are situations where fans want their team to lose, that sucks, man. I never want to be in that situation. You have to admit, at least, if you don't want to agree with me about tanking or about how that impacts the quality of the product or the TV product or even the in-game experience, you have to admit that it sucks when you are wanting your own team to lose.
So what sucks is it's widespread, right? Once upon a time, people watched their team play and they won and they lost and they were happy or they were sad or whatever. And then there was a small group of people like me who was like, no, I'm interested in how all this works and the numbers and the money and da-da-da. And so that's my origin story.
I got a copy of the CBA and I was like, I'm going to read this and understand why these trades can and can't work.
I feel like you should do your voiceover again, because somebody who picks up a CBA.
Oh, I'm interested in, oh, how do the cat mechanics on how these trades get consummated?
