Chapter 1: What do you think about morning people?
Kennt ihr auch diesen einen Freund, der morgens einfach so ruckzuck aus dem Bett und danach aus dem Grinsen gar nicht mehr rauskommt? Der sogar noch vor dem ersten Kaffee unverschämt gut gelaunt ist und mit der Morgensonne um die Wette strahlt? Furchtbar. Ekelhaft.
Chapter 2: How can you become a morning person?
Wie kann man nur so... Ausgeruht sein? Ganz einfach. Trainiere deinen Schlaf und werde auch du zum Morgenmenschen. Mit der Galaxy Watch 7 oder dem Galaxy Ring und der Samsung Health App.
Chapter 3: What is the history of Cuervo Tequila?
Now is a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented Tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here?
Cuervo.
Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads like... Cuervo. I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo.
The tequila that invented tequila. Proximo. Cuervo.com. Please drink responsibly.
Cuervo. This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
I have a hard time watching this Boston team play.
This is a group that's won a title. And they look shook. And they look small. And they look uncertain. Tito Menevren.
Bravo, Streeter!

Chapter 4: What challenges do parents face at night?
Oh mein Gott! Banger!
Und sie haben dich auf den Röpeln. Und wirst du den Rest des Weges mit Jumpern nehmen? Tony, bitte. Mero, du hast... Ich habe eine Frage für Mero, Dan.
Ich habe eine Frage für Mero. Weil er ist der Mann, der seine Hause hat. Und Mero, hast du... Der Don. Der Don. Der Don der Haus. Der Patron. Have you ever had to do something at a time that you didn't think you would be doing that thing? So the other night, I have my baby, 4 months old, she's starting to teethe, right? So mommy's like, hey, can you put her in bed with us? She feels bad.
I'm like, okay, I'll put it. The issue is, our bed, right in the middle where she sleeps, the vent, goes right to her. So every time the AC kicks on, it hits her, she wakes up, she wakes me up, and then we got an issue. So, at 3.58 in the morning, yo dije, yeah, So ist du Gott! As I got back up to the room and I looked at the vent, Dan, today's word of the day is ENCOJONAO. ENCOJONAO.
I was pissed, Dan. I was pissed to a level that I could not imagine. Because as I sat staring at the vent, that was a little bit higher than I thought. So I had to take the stepladder and take it back downstairs and then take the ladder at 3.58 in the morning and then start going up. My baby's crying. My wife is mad at me. But I'm like, I'm not doing this anymore. So I took the power drill. Zzzz.
Das ist ein Mann. Danke.
Aber du bist überrascht. Das bedeutet, du bist überrascht, oder? Ich bin überrascht von hier unten.
Von den Hüften. Ich bin so verrückt. Ich bin so verrückt. Die Angler kommen aus so einem tiefen Ort, Dan. Ja, es geht so weit nach oben. Wie Tupolo Pharrell.
In den Hüften. Genau richtig. Wie sprechen wir das?

Chapter 5: How do different cultures express rage?
Oh yeah, we're definitely missing words because Cubans skip over certain words. EN-CO-JO-NA-DO.
But the way that he's saying that, your rage is such that really your ball sack is now like making all of you... Yes, it's not just tight. If you were 6'2", the rage is gathering at the center of your ball sack to make you 6'1". You know what it does?
It raises that seam in your ballsack. Oh man, no, you got that seam in your ballsack. It raises that seam in your ballsack to look like the running knowledge on the map of America. Thank you, thank you.
And this is why I didn't think any of this should be on public airwaves. But in the middle of that, you also said something. Hey baby, you know what you get.
Isn't it weird that there is a seam down there, like someone sewed it up? Was it one that evolved from one? It's a pouch. God went there with a needle and thread.
Little worker angels.
A golden thread. Light blue shoe.
I thought... I've got a different... I've got a different... I've got a different... because Tony also said... Ich glaube nicht. Okay, was machen wir denn? Ich dachte, wir würden das mal blicken. Es ist wie ein MF-er, weißt du?
Von deiner Mutter, richtig?

Guys, by the way, I used game time and I took my family over to the Dodgers game and I probably saw the walk-off hit, by the way, for the Marlins, which I didn't see because the baby started to cry so we ended up leaving. But, but, I saw a tiny home runs, Dan, and I saw the greatest jersey I've ever seen. Dan, I'm putting it on the screen for you right here. How about that one right there, Dano?
Oh, that's funny. The Nico Honnes jersey.
We've got to find a way in the store to make something like that. How about the Nico Honnes jersey, Dan? Guys, immediately make that jersey. Angel, immediately make that. That is the best jersey I have ever seen. I see Nico Jones. Yeah, so do I. Please, please, please. No, I mean, I loved your jersey yesterday. I loved your jersey yesterday.
Your Carl Weathers authentic Raiders jersey, the uniform he wore. That's the greatest jersey I've ever seen. But I also just saw, and I can't believe this after 20 years, I just fell in love all over again with my partner. Because he's still got it. I didn't think he still had it, but he's still got it.
You guys were fooling around and we were talking about the black knuckleballers and the necros and I asked, and I will ask again, the necros, just look at them, put pictures up of them and tell me whether they're the most, no, the whitest people to ever play baseball.
And when I asked that and Stugatz hit me with Whitey Herzog, I did mutter, you may have heard it, it was natural and authentic, you're good, you're still, you're still good.

Chapter 8: What makes a jersey memorable?
I would go with Mero. Are you kidding me? I mean, it's not my cousin. How about that?
Poor Jeffrey. Mero, so Stugatz was offered a ticket to the Mets game on Friday, but he doesn't want to go with the person that offered him a ticket. He's trying to figure out how to either get out of it or should he just go because they're good seats. What would you do in that situation? Hmm.
Oh Mann. Ich würde einfach gehen, weil es gute Sitzungen gibt. Ich würde nicht sagen, dass du die Person, mit der du da bist, ignorierst, aber ignorierst die Person, mit der du da bist, wenn du nicht wirklich mit ihr sein willst.
Warum nicht? Die Lösung, die wir mitgekommen haben, ist, dass er seine Kopfhörer einsetzen muss und sagt, dass er gerne den Radio-Kall hören möchte, während er im Kino ist. Nein, niemand macht das mehr. Brilliant.
But if somebody's gonna do it, it's gonna be Stu.
You know what I'm saying? Yes, but what I'm worried about, Mero, is the fact that if you say yes, you take the free ticket, you hang out for three hours, there's probably an expectation to do something that's not as fun as attending the NLCS somewhere down the road, you know, where I can't wear headsets.
So listen, you can always wear headsets, dude. They're always, it's like a service dog. You know what I'm saying? Like you just say like, yo, this is my anxiety. It's my Headspace app. Whatever it is, bro. You make something up. You know what I mean?
Invite that person to a bunch of things they don't want to go to or like something super light. Like invite them to like Monster Jam or something. You know what I mean? Like monster trucks. And it's like everybody has to wear headsets. So you're good.
Yes. I think Mero's probably like, why am I explaining this to you of all people? Like you know how to get yourself out of these situations.
