All right, kicking things off with Smirnoff, the official vodka sponsor of the NFL and the number one vodka in the world. Chris Cody, you're here. Smirnoff! Wow, you're on the money with Smirnoff.
Smirnoff!
Chris, you know what goes great with Smirnoff? Smirnoff! Yes, but I'm really talking about the game day fit. The style's got to match the vibe. Smirnoff! All right, here's the deal. Game day is everything. And that's exactly why your fit has to match the occasion. Smirnoff! Starting this December, Smirnoff is giving fans 21 and over the chance to score limited edition Smirnoff commission merchandise from some of today's top creators, including Kayla Jones, Gavin Matthew, and Alaylee May.

The merch will be dropped on select dates from December to January 21, and it's all courtesy of what brand?

Always drink your Jägermeister ice cold. That's the rule. Everything else is merely a suggestion. Everything else? Everything else. Wearing clean underwear every day? Well, that's just a personal decision. Brushing your teeth? Obviously smart, but not a rule. Never pee-pee on an electric fence.

This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Jeff Pearlman is always exhaustive when he does his book writing. He talks to tons and tons of people, and I don't know if he's ever talked to more than you will find in his new book, Only God Can Judge Me, The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur. I also enjoy his work in and around all things sports. Check out his YouTube offerings. He's a great storyteller. And I want to talk to him a little bit about sports before we get into his book. So how nostalgic were you last night on the basketball NBA on NBC? And more specifically, were you expecting anything from Michael Jordan other than a stiff one hour interview that they will cut up all season? Because an hour of the goats time is something that you will just sprinkle over this and many other seasons, I suppose.
How dare you? How dare you speak of him that way? Don't you wait, Dan, don't you think we've learned through years and years and decades and decades that legends, it just doesn't work when they sit before my, like, it just doesn't work. Never, ever, ever with almost with rare exception works. Wait, do you disagree? Like, I actually thought from the beginning, Michael Jordan, this can't possibly work.
