Chapter 1: What is the purpose of the Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz?
We got a fun room here today. The vibes were immaculate prior to entering this room. They really were. I can feel like today's going to be a good day.
It's Friday, right? It's every workplace, right? What is it about Fridays? Why can't Mondays feel like Fridays? I think I know exactly what it is about Fridays, Chris.
It's because the next two days, you're not working. But although I'm here for Chris starting his own chain of restaurants called TGI Mondays.
What's on the menu at the TGI Monday? Sadness.
Salad bar, like a sad salad bar.
Like eating light. And regret. I had so many carbs on the weekend that it's just no carbs today. No carbs Monday.
Maybe it would be like a nice health food spot. TGI Mondays. Yeah, maybe. Guys, I have a huge hypothetical question I've been dying to ask. Both of these things feel like they are positives, but one has to be more positive than the other. Before I pose that question.
Oh boy, we're taking a trip on a Dan Levitard roller coaster here.
We sure are.

Chapter 2: Why is drumming at a Panthers game significant?
So.
So Dan, Dan, first of all, my favorite part of the video is that right there. My second favorite part of the video is before he starts drumming, he has a maniacal, before the wave even, he looks like he's Ray Lewis about to run out the tunnel. He hasn't run out the tunnel yet, but you could see he's getting into the game mode.
It's like he's got his posture facing upward, but his neck. He's looking down. So he's like, his posture is pointing up, but his neck is looking down and waving.
He does not look human. Like, you were to tell me this was an AI robot, I would absolutely believe it. And he's going for, like, he thinks this is the most intense moment of his life. He's not going for it. He's got it.
That is intensity. To me. Is this goblin mode or demon time? No, he's on demon time right now. He's on demon mode. That's a face that I don't want to see ever.
You walk around the corner. Oh, this alley is a nice quick shortcut. You see that waiting for you on the other end.
You're terrified. That's star player in an elimination game in the playoffs.
Also, a little bit drunk. Oh, yeah. A little? What? A little? Dan Levitar drinks? So... We've got the damn thing. Now, he was, as Tony pointed out, a little quick on the beat, right?
Oh, I'm telling you, in the arena, it's perfect timing. Like, I know from our angle, this video. But he's doing it for the arena. I'm telling you, he did perfect. No, the fourth time, it was a little bit too fast. The rest of the time, it's perfect.

Chapter 3: How do different personalities affect show dynamics?
They called him back in action for the biggest game in franchise history. I think Mike McDaniel has done it more than once. They will go back to some people. How long have they been doing this?
That's a good question. You want to say like three seasons?
Yeah, just about.
This is like one of the marketing initiatives of the new ownership group, yes?
Well, once we were playing meaningful games, they're like, we need something here to hype up the crowd.
So when the team gets bad again, the drum will go away?
No, I don't think so. The Panthers, you can't find anything on the internet of this. I've been trying to secure video of this. Remember for like a two-week period, they had monks ringing a bell? Say what now? They had a guy named Friar Puck. Wait, hold on. And they had monks.
With the bald head and the fur around the neck. They would wear the robes. Yeah, haircut.
The internet has been scrubbed of this. All I could find was a Reddit post. And it was like, you guys remember when the Panthers did that weird thing with the monks? There was like a two-week stretch. And it was received so poorly. Yeah.

Chapter 4: Can popular music trends escape certain audiences?
You never heard it either?
No, I don't listen to, what's her name again? Chapel Roan, Pink Pony Club. What are we doing?
Nobody ever gets more offended than Roy does when you ask him about popular culture. It's like, of course I haven't heard of that. What do you think?
I didn't say, of course I never heard of that. I just never heard of it.
That's the way my voice sounds. God damn it.
I know your eyes did it too.
Me too. I'll tell you how it happens. Because of technology, I live in a world where I don't listen to current music. Like all the music I listen to is the music that I select and the music I select is mostly 90s R&B and 80s and sometimes a little old school soul and stuff. But I don't listen to current music. And by the way, most of the time when I get in a car, I don't even listen to music.
I'm listening to a podcast because I'm trying to catch up to either this show or All Fantasy Everything or Cinepho, which this week we're doing Nothing But Trouble featuring Chevy Chase and Demi Moore and Tupac's first acting role. Check it out, Cinepho, wherever you get podcasts. But That's what I listen to, and so there's no radio.
There's nothing that would make— If you're on social media, there are inescapable pop songs. That's still very much a thing. Like Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter, you could not escape it.

Chapter 5: Who is Friar Puck and why is he significant?
The premonition, right?
Yes, the premonition.
And that's more likely to happen in South Florida with South Florida drivers. So let's just say it happens. Let's put something to rest. Bad drivers are everywhere. Thank you. Thank you. See, we're concentrated down here. No, no. I think the farther south you go in the world, the worse the drivers are.
This is what I'll say is in New York, They're reckless, they're not bad. They know what they're doing, but it's just like you're taking risks that you don't need to take. Other than that, everywhere else, they're just bad.
So we're already, everybody is in agreement here, no chance Michael Jordan is showing up at Amin's funeral, right? Because he also implied that yesterday.
Maybe, he might be.
He's a maybe. Do you think we get the third crying meme? Certainly not if it's in South Florida. He's not crying. He's not crying at my funeral. He's coming to the funeral, but he's not crying. Michael Jordan? He's coming, but he's not crying. Michael Jordan is coming to your funeral in South Florida. Yeah, he's here all the time.
If you died in Arizona. Wait, what if you died in Cleveland? There's no chance.
Okay, if I die in Cleveland, then that obviously impacts greatly how many people come to the funeral. But if my funeral is in New York, South Florida, or Arizona, or California. Or Ibiza. It's in Cleveland. You know what? I'm going to put that in my will. Very mean Ibiza.

Chapter 6: How do the hosts view friendships with celebrities?
And Jordan 2. Jordan 2 for sure. Did I say J. Cole?
No. He landed on LeBron James. And I will say, before we get into whatever your topic is, Stephen A. Smith has just tweeted. This is my topic.
Okay. Did you see what he tweeted? So let's start with, let's set it up for the people who don't know. They went to sleep early last night. They don't know what happened. They haven't talked to anybody. They don't know anything. All right. So the Knicks play at the Lakers. Big game. TNT game. All the luminaries are out. All the legends are out for Dan Levitard, right?
A fan captures video of, in the middle of the game, LeBron James confronting Stephen A. Smith about, well, let's try to read lips, right? Definitely shaking the head. If we try to read lips, it seems like— Doesn't look like a happy exchange. Well, it's not a happy exchange, but specifically, it seems to be about something, something, don't talk about my son. Is that what you see?
Oh, wow. So the internet, the best that they can deduce, the lip-syncing quotes that they've pieced together is, I'm going to tell you, bro, one time, keep my son out of this bleep, bro.
Is that Scotty Brooks in the background just chewing gum, by the way? Look at him right there. Might as well be popcorn.
What's going to happen here? Nothing. I mean...
I don't want to just rip LeBron, but Bronny is a G League NBA player. Well, let's get a little bit of context here. Why are we keeping anyone out of this that is in the league?
But we believe, because this is what we believe happened, at least the internet sleuths, is that during one of his podcasts, Stephen A., in the visual portion of the podcast, they're playing clips of Bronny just being bad. And they're not really talking about that necessarily. They're just playing clips of Bronny being bad, which is kind of what... the internet is these days.
