This is the Dan Levitard Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
This episode of the Dan Levitard Show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
The show is moving a little too fast. The week is moving a little too fast. Building up the entire week until next Monday. It is a company holiday. It is a holiday around the country. But we're working two shows that day because we're going to be doing a live stream of the national championship game. My friends feel bad for me, the friends who are going to the game, the friends who understand that I can't go to the game. Mike Ryan is, I'm assuming, going to the game. The tickets are really hard to get. They're crazy, crazy expensive. I have never been solicited this way by people that I haven't heard from in 20 years because of what this game is. We haven't gotten to the Giannis stuff yet.
How are Rich Paul's Lakers takes being received?
Giannis was booing his own fans. That seems like something that Miami Heat fans would be interested in. I will be, before the end of the show, nude recreating the Don Bailey Sr. carpet pose at some point. I'm telling you guys. Thank you, Zaslow. Maybe for the Columbus hit? Thank you for the support. We are getting into Columbus? Are we getting into Columbus?
You're confident? Like he said earlier, Tony is telling us for hour two he's going to be somewhere. But we're hoping to go to Tony in hour two. It was locked in, but then the last segment happened.
The Bucs lost to the Kings at home this year.
Why is Mike Tomlin stepping down significant?
Two losses to the Wizards. A 39-point loss to the Nets. They lost to the Nuggets, who were missing four starters. They've got a 33-point loss at home to the Wolves without Edwards and Gobert. Like, it's disintegrated there. He's available. He's booing his own fans. Giannis is available. It seems obvious.
It's an interesting strategy from Giannis.
I mean, just make it messy. But he won't. But he just did. He just did. He just did.
What does Gino Torretta think about the upcoming championship game?
He keeps saying out loud, no matter what, I won't ask for a trade. I won't ask for a trade. I won't ask for a trade. That's messy. He claims that it's just because of the way that throughout the year on the road, this is what he does. When he's getting booed on the road, he'll flex and he'll boo the opposing crowd.
But he knows the difference between home and away, right?
Yes.
And it's a bit of a reflex. Big difference. And the biggest difference is...
is that this was clearly like a premeditated feeling because the booing happened as they went in for the half and they were down 30 plus. And this happened on the first bucket of the second half. This is not like, oh, it was much later in the game or it was in the flow of the game. This is the first opportunity that he had to do something like this.
How does Gino manage ticket requests from old friends?
Does he think it's inappropriate for the fan to boo the home team that's down by 30 to the Kings? Well, he reacted to it after the game. Like an inappropriate thing for the fans to be upset about? Look, they had a really poor showing, and they continue to struggle amidst a moment like this one. Wouldn't the Bucs trailing the Kings at home by 30 be one of the top reasons to boo if you're a fan? Well, it was the Timberwolves, but it would be against the Kings, too. Okay, Timberwolves, sorry.
But it's the Timberwolves without Edwards and Gobert. Good correction, Jeremy, just useless correction.
Some would say that team without Gobert and Edwards is the Kings. Yeah, that's what I was trying to say.
The things that I need to get to, we need to keep this moving. Emmy winner Jeremy, he put the Emmy, and Jeremy is gaining confidence around here. He called Zaz a dumbass earlier. That seemed out of character.
What insights does Gino have on the Miami Hurricanes' performance?
That was wild. A lot of names have been thrown around. Cody, again, it's Wednesday. Please find me a hurricane that will read what Mike Ryan. Just find me one. Get one in studio. I want one in studio before the end of the show. A hurricane of some repute. to read this quote to threaten Indiana from Mike Ryan. But in front of Greg Cody, he has fished something out of his garage. I believe they are the Dead Sea Scrolls. I'm looking at them right now, and I don't know what this is.
