All right. As everybody knows, we every day. We have Roy's video of the day. Roy, can you let us know what we got today, please? Hey, you know more than I do. Okay. Excellent job, Roy, previewing your video of the day. Can we put Roy's video of the day up on the screen?
Our visual audience, the YouTube audience, DraftKings Network, you have the pleasure of being able to see Roy's video of the day. He does, as you heard, a tremendous job, a lot of research picking out his video of the day. Roy, do you want to explain your video of the day to us here as we now all see it together?
It seems as if these people are doing a hammer throw with large tuna. Shot put vibes. Olympic shot put vibes.
Shot put is the one with the ball in the neck. That's more discus than shot put.
Yeah, Roy, I think you're describing an Australian fish toss, I think is the video you chose. He knows that. He's playing Roy. That sounds like a slur. Yeah, he's very humble, Roy. All right. He doesn't want to take all the credit for the tremendous video. All women, by the way. Yeah. Notice that? All women. Well, they're good at that over there. Everybody knows that. So that's Roy's video.
That's Az right there.

Chapter 2: Did the Dallas Wings make a mistake regarding Azzi Fudd's relationship questions?
And from a basketball perspective, you think of, all right, is this the right fit X's and O's wise? Could they have maybe gone another position that they had in need? Did Paige Beckers, who's the face of the franchise, be like, hey, Obviously, every face of the franchise in every sport.
Well, and specifically, Tony, specifically, that team apparently, because I know what's going on in the league from a periphery. I don't want to try and make it sound like I really know what's going on in the league, but I am aware of what's going on in that league. And that team, Dallas, loaded a guard. Loaded. So they got another guard. Yes.
Yes.
So doesn't it make it kind of a fair question if someone were to say, does this play any kind of role? And again, I just gave the example of Lauren Betts, who's 6'7". They could have used her, you know, but they went for the second year in a row and drafted a point guard, number one.
I think their view was just best player available. But I also like I think I really agree with Chris here, which is it became a bigger story because the PR person intervened. And maybe it was a conversation on the front end with AZ of like, hey, are you comfortable answering this question when it comes up? Because everyone knows it's going to come up. It's why the PR person said.
I understand why you have to ask that question, but we're going to decline from here. Maybe it was a conversation on the front end, or maybe it was the PR person getting out ahead to try to keep it focused on basketball for this specific press conference, whatever. They've answered questions before, but I think all that does is make it a bigger story.
And if you would have just let her answer the question, whichā Which was a, like you said, you could tell that the reporter... That question was dainty, Jeremy.
It was a dainty question.
He was really trying to just ask it in what was the proper and respectful way, right? Like, any questions that have existed across the street about Bama to Bayou and Asia Wilson didn't pop up until they went public with their relationship. This relationship has been public for about a year. And when those questions started getting asked, it wasn't...

Chapter 3: How do the Dallas Wings handle questions about personal relationships?
Or letting your worst hitter bat first. Or like going for two when you're down three with a second to go. It wouldn't make any sense. So don't let the team down when it comes to Jagermeister. Drink it cold or don't drink it at all. Jagermeister. Damn, that's cold. Drink responsibly. Jagermeister liqueur. 35% alcohol by volume. Imported by Master Jagermeister US. White Plains, New York.
Don Levitard. No one else here is willing to do a Trump or a Biden. That's not true, Dan. Okay, Tony, you can catch up. Man of a thousand impersonations. That's not bad, man.
Not terrible. Pretty good.
Stugatz. Yours is terrible. You just got to get a little redder. A little pinker. You're right there, man. Yours is not. You're biting me. What do you mean? Oh, his is good, Dan. That's actually not bad. His is good. Not terrible. That's not terrible. We got to come together. A little southern twang there. A little George Bush in that one. This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz.
So, I was also fired up yesterday. Big NBA news. Tony, I know you got a top five. We're getting to it, all right? We're getting close, all right? Calm down. And we have a couple of play-in games tonight. We have do or die play-in games tonight. The winners do, the losers die. That's tonight. We got two of them. But the big NBA news yesterday was the league.
ruled in favor an extraordinary circumstances clause for Luka Doncic, who fell one game short of the 65-game minimum rule for NBA awards, and Kate Cunningham, was also granted an exception as he fell short, suffering an injury late in the season, a collapsed lung, actually. On top of that, Anthony Edwards was denied his claim.
But Doncic and Cunningham are eligible for all postseason awards despite not reaching the minimum of 65 games. I... I was outraged when I saw this. I really was. And obviously I've been on a kick with Adam Silver over the last few years because he's done nothing. He's afraid to do anything that might upset anybody.
And in this case, you know, it was upsetting the players because, you know, who cares that this is something that was collectively bargained. by the league and the players, this 65-game rule. But Adam Silver, if players can potentially get upset, like in this case for not qualifying for the 65 games, he's going to side with the players. Like, you know what? You know...
You know who Adam Silver reminds me of? It's like in The Godfather. It's like in The Godfather. He certainly doesn't remind me of The Godfather. Let's put that out there first. But it's like in The Godfather Part 2 when Michael tells Tom Hagen, you're not a wartime consigliere.
