This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
This episode is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
Chris Cody has had a heavy tongue over the last couple of days, but he did that really well. Thank you. The hockey playoffs and the basketball playoffs are going to rattle and shake this show over the next couple of months. Amin's flying in. Last night, he's doing Memphis Golden State, and he's flying in for this. And... I have to get to what I am telling you, Stugatz, I am serious about.
Chapter 2: What is the issue with timing and show scheduling discussed in the episode?
It's one of the most embarrassing things to ever happen to me professionally or personally, but it'll be in minutes that I will get to it. Okay, minutes. Yes, I'm going to make the apology publicly in minutes, but Chris Cody was telling me, because he's been doing a private show for me here the last couple of days, it's very funny, I wish you could hear it, that David is annoyed, again,
that David is bothered at the start of this.
That's just me reading body language. I haven't heard from him in a while. He looks annoyed. He looks annoyed all the time.
Okay, are you mad at us? Is there something wrong?
I just had the time wrong. So it's all good. So you're mad at yourself. Yeah, it's my fault. I thought it was supposed to be 1020 when it was 1027 Eastern. My bad. How you guys doing?
1027.
I know, but he's a show business, baby. Like what is like, come on. This is not this is not nine to five here.
This is we're wheeling and dealing. You're wheeling and dealing, Chris? Yes, you are the executive producer who's supposed to be wheeling and dealing. You are supposed to be driving the show so that things happen when they're supposed to be happening.
We were cooking with Tim Kirchhen. We were cooking. By showing a picture of Mel Kiper?

Chapter 3: How do the hosts discuss getting Pearl Jam tickets last minute?
Regardless, you're annoyed because we're late again. Roy, what are you laughing about?
He's annoyed because he got his time wrong. I don't like the way he said that to me, by the way. I didn't like that.
What don't you like? It was very just dismissive. Well, but look, man. Because it was. But we have a problem around here generally about how David Sampson would like things run and how it is that we run things here at Metal Art. It's a recurring theme. He's recurringly angry at everyone. Sounds like David Sampson has a problem, not us. Does does David have a ticket guy? Does David?
I imagine that David.
Oh, David has a ticket. Let's get right to it. He has a ticket.
Zaslow wants Pearl Jam tickets. Needs. Do you think that you could get him Pearl Jam tickets?
Well, the answer is, would I? Because, of course, I can. Mm hmm. But the answer is, would I? Well, would you?
Oh, yeah. What are we weighing here? Like, what's what are we talking about?
Well, clearly not now. It's a week before the show, and the shows were announced months ago, so it can't be that you're that disorganized that you're just making the ask today.

Chapter 4: What embarrassing personal and professional moment does Dan Levitar reveal?
It's an easy one.
Okay, you think it's an easy one to get Zaslow to work for free? No, we're cooking with gas. You think it's easy? Wait a minute. You can't have a lack of faith in your ticket guy and then say, but if Zaslow's willing to work for free.
Yeah, but now he has a reason.
All of a sudden, you have a ticket guy that can do what I'm saying my ticket guy can do.
I'm not talking about six months anymore. I'm going on game time, and I'm doing the arbitrage. I don't understand this conversation. I will have tickets in your mailbox, Zazz, and you will be on the schedule for tomorrow and Friday for free, and you will have two tickets to the concert next week. I'm going on the game time.
Two shows, Thursday and Saturday. Two shows, two shows. Two shows, Thursday, Saturday. Thursday and Saturday.
And you're doing two shows tomorrow and Friday. 100%.
What about, wait a minute, what about instead of one ticket both nights, how about two tickets one night?
You're asking me?

Chapter 5: Who is Pablo Torre and why is he being praised on the show?
I was asking Zazz.
Oh no, I need to go to both shows. But you need two tickets to each show, right? Yeah, how do I not take my son? He loves them too. My son!
Okay, well, wait a minute. Now, multiple tickets where we got a problem.
No, I would accept just one. See, this is what happens. You do the arbitrage thing. No, I'm not going to be a schnurrer. If you presented me with one ticket, I'm very happy about that. Very.
Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Do you know what a schnurrer is? It's not that. Everyone does. A schnurrer. I don't know what those are.
Is this someone who is greedy, doesn't appreciate? Me.
Me. Okay. So I'm sorry, David, that we still haven't gotten to your segment, but I'm going to have to, and this is rude of me, I am going to have to knock Samson out of the way here to tell you about one of the most embarrassing personal and professional moments of my career and to welcome in Pablo Torre in order to do so.
Because beyond being the person who married me and my wife, I am just extraordinarily proud of him for a number of different reasons. The work that he's doing, the awards that he's winning, the things that he's doing on MSNBC, and the way that I did something on air this week made Mina Kimes ask me if me and Pablo were okay.
And if she asks me that, I did something very wrong on air that then got aggregated And Zazzle comes in here today and asks me, what did you ask me?

Chapter 6: What is the significance of the Peabody Award nomination mentioned?
I was dealing with DMs from a separate sports media writer, so that's cool. Great to know that. Something that Mina and I both advised was that Dan not do what he's doing right now live. So cool. But let's do it.
No, I well, I didn't get that part. But regardless, the thing that I wanted to play for all of you and one of the many reasons that I am proud of Pablo is. He is doing on Morning Joe something that I have not seen. Never mind on that show. With an easy grace, he is capturing our times in a way that you need to listen to what he is doing.
Journalistically, and you need to listen to what he's doing socially. Because I'm going to play a clip from Morning Joe here. And he's got a facility around things that are happening in America right now that are dangerous. deeply, deeply troubling and I'm just really happy to see him doing things like this on MSNBC on behalf of us and the company.
It's a test. We are now taking a test.
What's the test?
The test is do you see these people as human beings deserving of the protection as human beings of the country that has styled itself the foremost protector of decency and due process in human history?
And when you show these videos and you allow this administration to cast these people as people who should be shackled, who don't look like you, what they don't want you to realize in the case of Mr. Abrego Garcia is that this was a dad who was apprehended while in a parking lot of an Ikea with his autistic son in the back.
And one of the most primary criteria for why he was apprehended was because he was wearing a Chicago Bulls cap and hoodie. Everybody acknowledges that this guy, as we see photos of him and his family, did not deserve any of this.
And if this was somebody who looked a little bit more like the people we tend to be intuitively sympathetic towards, which is to say very clearly, if he was a white guy who wasn't generally associated with what it means to be scary and foreign. John, this is the sort of story, the suspension of due process.

Chapter 7: How do the hosts react to the awards budget and show production challenges?
all you have so yeah i'm just trying to trying to calculate whether we're losing monetization by clipping that long a clip of msnbc and whether or not pablo was aware that we were doing this because i think it's fantastic and the focus should be on what pablo is doing at with metal arc
as part of Pablo Torre finds out just one of the most unbelievable things, getting nominated for a Peabody Award and the aggregation of you being upset with Pablo. It's a fricking Tuesday that you're aggregated for people misunderstanding things that happen, if not members of your family and friends.
So my focus, to the extent that I'm still sitting here 18 minutes later, is that Pablo's show is so good that for anything Metal Lark adjacent to be recognized the way his show is, is a credit to what, Dan, you have done and started. And you should be damn, damn freaking proud of it. You want us to celebrate a nomination? Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Yes! Yes! A nomination! Wonderful.
This went very quickly, and I have to say, maybe even predictably went from, I am feeling my heart growing full, to, I hate you guys. I really do. Well, we love you. Dan, I got you a Peabody. Yes, a nomination. A nomination. It is a nomination. Relax. Yes. The winners are announced at some point in the future. I want to explain what's happening to Amin.

Chapter 8: What humorous moments occur around the apology and celebration segments?
I mean, remember when your parents were like, well, I don't know if this is the right metaphor, but it feels like when, as a kid, The adult in the room starts off by complimenting you, and it's so effusive that it becomes suspicious. It's that setup times the time that you and Izzy were fighting on air. It's kind of like that stuff. Kind of like all that stuff.
You know what's funny? When you get nominated for these things, the show's nominated, but typically they submit a particular episode. Papa, I just want to make sure. Was the episode submitted, The Haunted Hotel One in Oklahoma City? No.
That was not what we submitted.
But I still get a Peabody if we win, right? Yeah, we cut this thing up.
Samson, what's the face that you're making? Because I will let everyone know that Samson, among the budget cuts that he's recommending, award prices, nomination prices. Samson doesn't want any... You got to save where you can.
Can we go through a day without being aggregated? Can we go through one day without Barrett Sports Media getting in my inbox about the awards budget? Jesus Christ.
What is Samson laughing about? He's trying to come.
How bad you are at this.
What was the apology for again?
