Chapter 1: What role did the show play in the University of Miami's Athletic Director search?
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stukas Podcast.
Oh, we did it, everyone. We made it to Friday. Give it up for Friday, everybody. How about that?
Good job, Friday.
Look at this crew we got here today. We got Roy, and we got Jeremy, and we got Chris, and Mike, and Tony. I think this crew's worked together before. And we got Dave, who is out there on the West Coast. Hello, Dave Damaschek.
Oh, Zazz, breaking news. It's not just Friday. School's out for summer.
I've been in the graduation circuit recently. I think Dave has been in the graduation circuit recently. We will get to that. All right. I've got to tell you, though, I like I'm jealous of Dave when Dave like Dave's messaging me last night, you know, and I'm and we're all watching the hockey. And I'm just thinking to myself, I'm struggling to stay awake here.
I'm on the couch in the Zazzle Mansion family room in my underwear. Couch is so uncomfortable. But I'm on the couch, and it's late, and Dave's three hours behind us, wide awake. Just the hockey game ends, right, Dave? The hockey game ends and then you make yourself dinner, right? Is that the way it works?
It is the greatest enduring concession that the East Coast has to make for the West Coast. You know, women have to, you know, there are debates about like the virtues of like...
rather be a guy i'd rather be a woman because of these reasons yeah and those reasons you know uh like oh i gotta wear high heels every day man what a pain in the ass that society sort of asks me to do that and and uh um the powers above have given me a period and the other gender doesn't have to deal with that this is the same thing you guys man what that is some baggage you have to carry every day of your life as sports fans

Chapter 2: How did the crew feel about the Hurricanes' recent game performance?
Get it wherever hats are sold. You had to wake them up there, Zaz. Well, yeah, I mean, sometimes people fall asleep in the middle of big meetings, you know? Mike, do we have any kind of real update on the UM athletic director search?
Because I know there was an update Barry Jackson put out on Twitter a couple of days ago, but the update was something you said like two months ago that the Canes have essentially... Mike said that two months ago. Do we have any kind of real update now?
Yeah, we do. And I think... More credence to what you just said about Michael Yormark having really made a lot of progress in getting that job until his name leaked out. People would be surprised to learn that Miami is in no rush here, that this search is still very early in its process. It's not going to be this expansive search. I've been able to confirm three names that are in this mix.
I would believe that Michael Yormark is out of it. I haven't heard much about it. It has to be. Jeff Purinton, a former AD, now working for Learfield. Brian White, the brother of Danny White, who is a former UCF AD. Good family. Current Tennessee AD, and his brother has done some good things.
This is a lot like the bright Michael Urmark situation, where one brother is a little bit more accomplished in the world of college athletics. But, I mean, Brian White, his first hire was Dusty May. And I know that he has a lot of interest. I'm not sure how much interest Miami has in him.
I don't think Miami is looking for a conventional AD, which would probably be a favorable thing for Jim Favola, the current head of business ops at Bournemouth. For those that don't know about soccer, especially Premier League dynamics, what Jim Favola has been able to do at Bournemouth is nothing short of miraculous. Not just from a business sense, but also bringing stability to a yo-yo club.
Getting a stadium deal done in that part of the world takes a lot of politicking and a lot of expertise.
He's got experience with very big organizations.
Vegas Knights, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dolphins, UFC. What he did with the UFC in Vegas with the hockey team out there is also super impressive. So you have a guy that has shown that he can adapt. And you're going to need to adapt in this whole new world of college athletics.

Chapter 3: What updates were shared about the UM athletic director search?
That's a ridiculous thing to be including into a major moment in the final of a major sport.
So I'm torn on whether or not I'm good with Tortorella challenging there, because part of me is, OK, the reward is rather enormous because they would, you know, go up. three to two in that spot. They would take the lead late in the game. And the risk, okay, you get a penalty, which the Canes ended up scoring on, but the Canes' power play has been miserable in the playoffs, right?
So if you're Tortorella, if you lose it there, you probably don't feel like You're going to give up a power play goal because, again, the Canes power play, they can't even get shots on goal. So I'm a little bit torn as to whether or not he should have challenged there because I'm watching the replays. Oh, it's goalie interference that they're challenging here. Mike, there's no way.
I don't know if it plays a role because the game was in Carolina. There was no way they were overturning that call on the edge. There was no chance.
I kind of felt for Mark Messier, and I don't know if you guys saw that intermission.
Messier was reallyā I didn't see, but everyone was saying he was off his rocker. What did he say?
Well, he was like a dog with a bone. He just refused to acknowledge the construct. He didn't have a legal leg to stand on, but I kind of understood what he was trying to say. So he thought it was a goal? He's like, all right, Iā
this should be a goal like if we're actually playing this thing out i know the whistle and the goalie and the uh intention to blow a whistle which is a phrase that roy reminded me of which is you like that phrase the it's not just the whistle blowing it's the intention to blow i meant to blow a whistle yeah it's over yeah i i get where messier was coming from and that in other games this is a goal you know that it's not it was earlier in the game
Well, if the stakes were different, if it was on the road, if it was a different crew, I don't think you could look at that. They were never overturning that. That I agree with. And they also had the rulebook in their favor once they decided to blow the whistle in the fashion or intended to blow the whistle in the fashion that they did. But I did...

Chapter 4: What controversy arose during the recent hockey game?
It was the 90s. That the coach breaks the news at the press conference and on top of it. There was an eye on the field. What are you talking about? The owner, Cameron Diaz, she was like happy with it. He's so kooky, our coach.
What a move. How about Oliver Stone in the booth?
Yeah. That is some ass on. Was Barry Switzer his color guy?
Yeah, Barry Switzer was there.
I don't know what to say, really. Movie's terrible.
Three minutes. The biggest battle of our professional lives. I've never seen this movie. Wait, let him do the thing. No, I've never seen any given Sunday.
Jeremy, play out.
He's just getting warmed up. All comes down to today. Either we heal as a team or we are going to crumble. inch by inch, play by play, till we're finished. We're in hell right now, gentlemen. Believe me. And we can stay here and get the **** picked out of us. Or we can fight our way out, back into the light. We can climb out of hell, one inch at a time. Now, I can't do it for you. I'm too old.
I look around, I see these young faces, and I think... I mean, I made every wrong choice a man could make. I pissed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who ever loved me. And lately, I can't even stand the face I see in the mirror. You know, you get old in life, things get taken from you.
