Chapter 2: What funny stories are shared about body parts and grooming?
Shadowing it. Shadowing it. Greg Cody, we have missed you around here. You haven't been here for a couple of weeks after getting that flap, that awning removed from your belly button. Did you see what I just saw in the other room as Roy gets makeup?
And I was told that our biggest makeup aficionados at Metal Arc Media are Mike Ryan and David Sampson, that they're the ones that most enjoy a good pampering and makeup. But I was shocked to see moments ago Mike Ryan getting his elbows lubricated by Jess. He was getting lotions put on his elbows that seemed extravagant to me.
I don't care what my elbows look like. I've never raised them and looked at them in the mirror. I think I've got handsome elbows, but who cares about what an elbow looks like?
I mean, you're hiding them right now for someone who's so proud of their elbows.
I'm not proud, but I just have never wanted to take pride in that particular body part.
All right, so you're saying you've never seen your elbows?
I don't know what they look like.
What body part do you take pride in?
We don't want to get too personal.

Chapter 3: What are the anonymous quotes about the NFL draft and Shador Sanders?
I'm Aquaford up right now. This morning, I saw Mike get more insecure than I've ever seen Mike get insecure in his whole life. Because Jessie knows all of his weaknesses. She knows everything that makes him feel insecure. And she peeled some dry skin off of his ear. And he was mortified. And then she said, Mike, did you piss yourself?
And he looked down and there was a wet spot on his shirt and lower groin area. And he walked out of the room with his tail tucked between his legs like I've never seen in my life.
And now we're talking about it on the show.
Thank you, guys. Did you? Did you piss yourself? Yeah, man, I pissed myself. It's a great segment we got here. Nothing wrong with that.
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Stugatz out again with a toothache. I'm pretty sure he's going to miss the draft tomorrow night as part of the award-winning God Bless Football's coverage of the draft with a toothache tonight. That is early for that advertisement to come up on our show. It says, with Stugatz, Dan Lebitard show with Stugatz, but neither Dan Lebitard nor Stugatz. Well, maybe Stugatz will be there. I don't know.
But at present, he has a toothache and can't make it. Greg says this is his hell week because... The draft has produced already a couple of anonymous quotes, okay? Oh, boy. Yeah. A head coach was quoted by Diana Russini as saying, there are no Robert De Niro's in this draft. I don't think young people know what that means.
Robert, that is an old coach with saying that there are no great players in this draft. It is not going to stop us from covering the holy hell out of this draft. But Shador Sanders is now getting smeared anonymously even louder than before. An NFL assistant coach, according to Tom Pelissero, quote, The worst formal interview I've ever been in in my life. He's so entitled.
He takes unnecessary sacks. He never plays on time. He has horrible body language. He blames teammates. But the biggest thing is he's not that good.

Chapter 4: How do the hosts feel about the Florida Panthers' playoff performance?
Well, not in this case. It wasn't Slack.
The reason I wanted to ask Chris, Roy, and Mike this is because I am still 30 years in this market. I still walk in today with a level of legitimate confusion about how much progress has been made in this market in hockey, when I'm coming in today and I'm like, what do you mean the Florida Panthers played a no problem, easy playoff game against the Tampa Bay Lightning?
That's not normalized enough for me yet to understand that the playoffs begin with, oh, Kachuk rested. That's what that looks like when it's not him trying to play as a torso the last two postseasons. Him resting. Nate Schmidt, you got to be Schmidt-ing me. Get out of here. Nate Schmidt, two goals. I'm not yet in a place where I get that this is the best hockey team in the world.
That's strange. I mean, they beat them in five games last year on their way to a Stanley Cup, their second straight Stanley Cup appearance in the final. So, I mean, I understand what you're saying because Tampa was so dynastic. But this is, I mean, Florida's already had like a three-year run.
No, but it's not just that. It's Sylvester Lasky.
He was the second best 88 on the ice.
But I'm saying that's still that goalie. I've seen that snuff out a blueprint by getting hot in the playoffs. I understand that you guys are looking at me, where you been? But I expect Tampa to turn into something else in the playoffs. I don't expect the Panthers to do it.
They did it last year. But to your point... I think if Tampa wins game two, six to two, nobody's surprised. At least I'm not. If this series goes seven games, nobody's surprised. These games are close, Greg.

Chapter 5: What is the debate about the Florida Panthers vs Tampa Bay Lightning?
The hockey playoffs have started and the teams are close and the games are close.
But I would not put too much emphasis on the fact that they won game one easily, because I think it's going to be... Okay, but can I do this though, please?
They went on the road in the place where they made championships in hockey in Florida matter and made it look easy. Like, no! That's the gulf between the Celtics and the Heat now from when they were close and the gulf between the Lightning and the Panthers now in terms of the attitude you guys have of like, yeah, we expected that. I don't go into that expecting that.
Well, one, everybody except for Aaron Ekblad returned to the ice. So the Panthers, they can basically run five lines out there right now as far as their forge is concerned. And two, you can beat Andre Vasilevsky by creating traffic. The first two goals that they had would be a deflection because he couldn't really see the puck and he couldn't adjust to it. Sam Bennett bunting it in. What a pass.
What a pass from Sam Iskevich. Oh my God. How do you do that? A waist-high pass and he's using his stick to put it in. That's unbelievable.
You guys can say to me that's how you beat Vasilevsky. I've seen him beat the Panthers. I've seen the most overwhelming offense I had ever seen in a Panthers uniform snuffed out by that person. So you can tell me the way he... That was like three years ago, though.
That was a whole completely different style.
That was a different Panther team. Florida actually did quite well against Vasileski last season. I'm always going to have that PTSD, so I'm with you. But I don't think you're allowed to be surprised by it anymore.
And maybe what you're doing is 30 years in this market covering this team, understanding that this is such an outlier on their timeline as a franchise, as a whole, that any kind of success still is bewildering. But at a certain point when it comes to these two teams, we have to realize that the dynamic has shifted some. That being said, Tampa has home ice in this series for a reason. Not anymore.

Chapter 6: Why is Matthew Kachuk considered the heart and spark of the Florida Panthers?
No, it's a whole thing. He's going to get opportunities because he's playing with good players, and I don't think his output would be better than Jesper, for example. Or Evan Rodriguez. Evan Rodriguez led the Stanley Cup final in goals. And he's a fourth liner on this team right now. My whole thing with Brad Marchand is he's just not the same player.
And if his name wasn't that, we'd be feeling a little differently about it.
I'm pro Rodriguez always. He owes us a shirtless rollercoaster ride. He said if they won the title that he would come on shirtless and do a rollercoaster.

Chapter 7: What are the hosts' opinions on individual Florida Panthers players' performances?
Guys, I want to talk to you about something that I don't think we think about enough on a daily basis, and that's comfort, specifically when it comes to underwear. Because let's be real, when it's not right, you're going to feel it all day. And that's why I want to tell all of you about Tommy John.
Because the first time I put on a pair, I knew my underwear drawer would just simply never be the same. Tommy John just recently sent some of their product to those of us in the shipping container, and this is my first time wearing Tommy John underwear. I was really blown away by the comfort, by the stretch that was available within the design, by the texture.
There's a genuine comfort, and I can tell that they put in effort to make sure, specifically in our case with men, that we would feel comfortable. Honestly, Tommy John's changed the game for me. I know it's going to be a good day now when I walk out the door and I've got Tommy John on. No distractions, no adjusting, just all-day confidence.
If you haven't tried Tommy John yet, I personally think you're missing out. These are the MVP of your underwear drawer with up to four times more stretch than other brands, something I definitely appreciate. Double down on comfort with Tommy John and get 25% off your first order right now at TommyJohn.com slash Dan with promo code Dan. Save 25% at TommyJohn.com slash Dan.
Don Levitard. Mike Ryan's in there, and he's the one with a baby. He's the one who's got to, like, worry about what the future is. And Mike Ryan bet on DraftKings because Mike Ryan bet on us. This is the bet you're afraid of doubling down on? Putting up a billboard in Edmonton? Stugatz.
I care more about Matthew Kachuk than I do my daughter.
This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stugatz.
Mike's getting a bit out of control in general on Marchand. It's a little bit messy, but he's also at the high end of, oh, I got a squad in a sport that I like. It's physical. And so he comes in here this morning and he's been doing this for a minute. He turns on his music. And I don't think anybody here was ready at 8 a.m. for whatever it is that that was.

Chapter 8: What sponsors and advertisements are featured in this episode?
I heard some Pearl Jam, but the rest of you wake differently than the rest. There are different wake-ups here, right? So that music was aggressive for 8 a.m., was it not?
Man, it's too early to be listening to Eddie Vedder.
You can always tell Mike's mood by the music that you get when you walk in. In general, I like the music, but there are some days I'm like, oh, we're in a mood today. Well, that's a hockey song. That's a hockey sound.
Well, what was today? Look, different people receive music different ways. I will tell you that clubhouses are temperamental places. I have seen Albert Bell take a bat to a thermostat because he wanted the temperature where he wanted it. Nah, that's Albert Bell, though. No, but Jose leaned.
I've seen him throw a hunting knife across the locker room and embed itself in a wall because he didn't like the clubhouse music. He wanted Latin music, and there were schisms in their locker room.
Ricky's got 20-year in this clubhouse, and part of his process artistically before the show is dating back to when he would do the prep in his studio would be to just play music the entire time.
Are you referring to yourself in the third person?
Oh, that does not sound great. That's what Ricky does.
In terms of choosing the music around here, I'm asking the group. I have not taken the temperature of the group. I was asking because the music hit me in the side of the face and I was looking around the room and I generally don't tend to hear music very much for whatever the reason is. But the rest of the room I'm looking around and I couldn't tell how everybody else was receiving that music.
