Chapter 1: What are the current tensions leading to World War III?
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Chris Cody, I'm a little afraid of everything that's happening here. Zaslow was explaining to you the perils of live television. Chuck Todd certainly knows about that. Longtime journalist, former NBC News chief political analyst and moderator of Meet the Press. His podcast, The Chuck Toddcast, is going to be celebrated here. Now, you guys like that name? It's a good name. Appreciate it. Thanks.
Chapter 2: How does Chuck Todd handle the challenges of live television?
Thank you. So Chuck's with us now, but also we've got this cooking segment going on that seems like a bit of an apocalypse. We've got bad audio. It seems like the camera worked for the bear except by accident instead of on purpose. Seems like you might miss me up there. And no Jeremy up there either. So let's go to, hold on a second, Chuck.
I know there's serious journalistic things to talk about, but Greg Cody, give me an update on where you guys are on this soup off, please.
I have just cooked and integrated my vegetables into the soup. And really, I'm going to be done fairly soon.
Chapter 3: What is the significance of Chuck Todd's podcast?
And how are you feeling right now? Are you as confident as you were before?
Yes. Yes, I am. I'm very confident. My soup has a little color now with beautiful chopped carrots. I think we're going to be great. I love the way it looks. I think I'm going to love the way it tastes.
All right. Hold on. Chuck, hold on just a second. I'll see if you have any questions here. You know Greg Cody. And the problem is if I throw you to Greg Cody, he's going to get so delighted. I get it. He's going to get so delighted, he'll get distracted, and he'll just be delighted that a famous person knows who he is. So I'm scared to throw you and the show toward him.
Greg, can you just ask Mike Ryan how he's feeling about things, please? Mike, how are you feeling?
You know, I don't like that I'm helping you. You didn't come with olive oil. You didn't even come with a set of knives. You don't have a chopping board. You're dulling out my knives.

Chapter 4: What culinary competition is taking place during the episode?
I don't know why I'm helping this old man at all on his birthday. It's a competition.
Okay, Mike just dropped a cigarette ash into his dish.
Into his dish or your dish? Okay. We're wasting Chuck Todd's time here. All right, Chuck, do you have anything to say to Greg Cody? You've known him for a long time. What would you like to say to him before we get started here?
Are you talking to Greg or me? You, Chuck. Oh, well, I'm just ecstatic that there's ash in the soup because no good soup, you know, there's nothing that makes me want to eat than knowing there's cigarette smoking going on right at the same time that we're preparing the food. I just thought that was an excellent secret ingredient. What is your relationship with Greg Cody?
I think I was a guest on his podcast twice. That's it? Not entirely sure, though. He thinks. You know, he returned my call. You didn't over the years. He cared that I was from Miami. You didn't. Other than that, you know, that's how me and Greg are tight.
You and I have never spoken before. You were at the Miami game, Notre Dame game. Were you not? Are you a lunatic?
I was. I'm a season ticket holder. I have been off and on for me, off and on for 30 years.

Chapter 5: How do the participants feel about their soup creations?
My family going back to the 50s.
Season ticket holder, did you go to the Bethune-Cookman game?
No, I didn't go to the Bethune-Cookman game. I said I didn't go to the University of Miami, but that's neither here nor there. All right, but I do pay my daughter's tuition. Is that okay? That's fair. Yeah, your daughter. All right, she's a senior there, okay? So, you know, cut me a little slack. My mom went there. My aunt went there. Is that enough?
So you're like a Judas to the family going to George Washington University.
No football team. Yeah, well, you chose that.
You chose to not go for a football team.
No, no, no, no. They had no football team, which made it easier. So you failed as a Hurricane. Yes. Okay. Huge failure.
Just compared to your family, I mean.
Absolutely.

Chapter 6: What insights does Chuck Todd provide about political reporting?
But what is your greatest of sports allegiances? Is it that or the Packers? No, it's the Hurricanes. It's the University of Miami. So every childhood memory. Come on. I grew up. My first memory of going to a football game was watching Otis Anderson play football. That back then, Miami, third and eight. And the best way to get a first down was to pitch it to him.
It just, you know, when your formative years as a sports fan culminate with what we got to witness from 83 to 90, I live and die by them. I live and die by them. My mood, my booed goes up and down. Even in the Al Golden years, even in the, you name it, all of those horrible years over the last two decades. Every year I have too much hope. And every year my heart got broken.
Chuck, your favorite moment in the stands at the Orange Bowl is what?
It was the wiping out Deion Sanders in Florida State. 31-0. 31-0 when they came in and they did the music video. And I believe it was the first game of the season. That's my favorite. Probably second favorite is Devin Hester's first game, if you remember. The first time he touched the ball, he returned it for a touchdown.
Did you get a game ball? What is that ball over your head with your name that says Miami Hurricanes? It means I gave them a lot of money.
They give you one of those? That's what it means. You give them a lot of money and they send you one of those?
They send you one of those. It comes in this elaborate box and you're like, boy, what is this? And you're like, oh, it's a deflated football. Okay, well, I have a podcast studio, so I need to put something in there.
I have so many questions to ask you that are not sports related.
I was also at the Flutie game, by the way, which is a searing memory in my head.

Chapter 7: What conclusions are drawn from the soup-off competition?
Every time we say that, I can't believe it. Well, it's crazy because they've basically been partners with the Dan Levitard Show for half of their existence. Wow. When I put it to you that way, we got an old-ass show. Yeah, we do. That's crazy. Hey, let's look around at our friends, not each other, and our family, even though they're not here. I do miss your brother, though. Yeah, I know.
I'll bring him back. And take that first sip. Look around and know that we made the right decision. When it comes to a domestic light lager, Miller Lite is the best. And it's the holiday season, as we mentioned. Why don't you enjoy that holiday season by drinking a beer that won't weigh you down?

Chapter 8: How does the discussion shift to the state of American democracy?
So the soup off's a tie?
They just quit? No, we're going to taste it down here. They're going to bring it down here now. It's not a tie.
Another habit we have to break is Dan just ruining every show with World War III talking cheese.
What have you been hearing in recent weeks about the health rumors around Trump? What is the fairest way to report any of this? How do you take the politics out of Biden's a danger because he's clearly having mental atrophy? And, you know, there's a bit of a madman in the White House in ways that a lot of people understand.
Donald Trump's a 79-year-old man who never worked out a day in his life, who doesn't eat healthy, and he's got all the problems that somebody that age who didn't at all take care of himself doesn't eat healthy has. You ever go into a Walmart or a Publix and there's people riding the scooter because they can't walk the aisles? They can walk, but they don't like to walk because it hurts.
and their ankles are twice the size of their calves, that's, you know, look, this is what age does. So I look at it that way, and I assume they're lying to us. They're not telling us the truth about his health. The last time they gave us his height and weight, I think it was the equivalent of the middle linebacker of the Eagles. No, that was amazing.
Chuck, hold on just a second. Billy, why are you and Jeremy laughing at the great frustration on Chris Cody and how he's turned redder than he actually is on the back of his neck because another stray sound got out on the board, and he's saying, this isn't coming from us, and I'm convinced that it is. I'm convinced that this is our fault.
I'm convinced it's not this room's fault. That's what I'm convinced. Whoa, whose fault do you think? I just don't want to blame this on Chuck. Chuck, does this happen to you often in these hits?
I'm clearly going to get blamed for this as soon as this segment is over. Yeah. Because if I were Chris, I would do that. Hey, that dude's lying. He didn't want to admit it. I mean, look, we all just talked. It's all about survival of the fittest here, right? And he's got to survive longer with you than I do. You know, it isn't me, but I know that I'm going to get blamed for this.
