Chapter 2: How does the NBA gambling scandal unfold?
Get him an Almond Joy. Get him an Olive. I haven't had one either. Get a couple of them.
I, too, would like to try that. You call it Almond Joy, is it?
Yes, an Almond Joy.
By the way, you say I met them. They're in our midst. It's someone that works here. They're off air. But they said it, and I was just like, that's crazy.
Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Can you trust someone who mentions Almond Joy as their favorite? It can't be your favorite.
Almond Joy is very good, but I resent it because it only comes in milk chocolate versus Mounds, which is dark chocolate. Now give me the almond inside the Mounds. Now we're cooking with gas. Almond Joy's got nuts. Mounds don't. None of that was weird. Me never trying Almond Joy.

Chapter 3: What role do Congress members play in the NBA investigation?
No, I'm just saying that you keep saying the things that you have never tried. It's a long list so far. You're not a very adventurous eater.
I can look at something. I know what I like. I could see it. I'm like, I don't like that.
I know. Chocolate almonds, you think, is something you wouldn't like? No, but there's something else in it, too. It's coconut.
Yeah, I don't like that. That's mounds.
I knew.
I don't like that. That's mounds. Mounds is the coconut. Almond joy, no coconut.
Almond Joy has coconut too. It also has an almond in it. The distinction is the milk chocolate versus dark, almond versus no almond. Please keep up with me.
As I said, I've never had one.
It's pronounced Joy? Almond Joy? Pablo Torre has another Pablo Torre Finds Out exclusive. We have been making fun of the fact that he seems to have modulated and pixelated somebody who has been telling that same story without the modulation.

Chapter 4: How is Ty Lue connected to the gambling allegations?
why it is that you're using gooning in this way?
It's a fair question. Gooning is the process of edging without letting yourself come to a release. It's a thing that Harper's Magazine wrote. I deserve the sounder for that. It's a pretty white reference. Harper's Magazine wrote about gooning.
Harper's Magazine wrote about goonies. Is this Zach Harper's Magazine?
I don't know. Somehow, one of the oldest publications has the sensibility of Zach Harper, this week at least. The reason I say that is because Dan, who's judging everyone's food predilections, but does not eat any of this stuff himself anymore, he's like a food gooner. He's just watching everyone else eat this stuff, but he cannot let himself actually enjoy and come to that conclusion.
I didn't think I would find something more objectionable than learning that someone in our midst thinks that Almond Joy is the best of all the candies, but to choose Raisinets is just crazy. Like to choose- What's wrong with Raisinets? The chocolate raisin is the best of all the candies? You can't know another person who would say that. There's not another person you know that says that.
That's the opinion of a man whose brain has been addled by his food gooning. I regularly enjoy all of these selections. You merely remember what it used to be.
I loved Raisinets. I just don't know. I've never met anybody who would say that that's the greatest of the candies. It's not even the greatest of the movie theater candies.
What are you going movie theater-wise? A bunch of crunch. It's easy. Reese's Pieces. Come on. Zazz. Yep. Yep. Pickles. You're picking too hard on this one. Snickers with almonds in them. Come on.
At Levitard Show, do you know anybody who would choose Raisinets as their favorite candy? And also put on the Levitard Show poll, do you know anybody who would choose Almond Joy as the favorite of their candies? Getting back to Pablo Torre Finds Out and some of your very thorough, thorough reporting again. Oh, yes. More than 20 sources, again, thousands of documents, again, months of research.

That's how I find my vocal range.
Sometimes I just say, Savannah Bananas. Savannah Bananas.
Yeah! This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugats.
Stugats.
Can you give me, Pablo, a ruling? We were having an argument before. I said Ty Lue is now ensnared in this by Pablo Torre Finds Out, and Tony said he's merely adjacent. Who's closer to correct? Me saying ensnared or Tony saying adjacent?
Ooh, that's a great vocabulary challenge. I don't think he is ensnared and I don't think he is adjacent. I think he was present. He was in the room. He was, what's a fun legal sounding word for you were there and your best friend has been indicted by the FBI and the federal government. And the question is whether you were aware of any of the proceedings there.
Um, you were in the room where it happened from the Hamilton play. If you're going to be highfalutin about it, you were, you were, you were around.

Chapter 6: How do personal experiences with candy relate to the discussion?
Everything else? Everything else. Wearing clean underwear every day? Well, that's just a personal decision. Brushing your teeth? Obviously smart, but not a rule. Never pee-pee on an electric fence. Okay, maybe there are two rules, but the one that is 100% that I insist on completely, Jagermeister must be drank ice cold. Or don't drink it at all. Damn, that's cold. Exactly.

Don Levitard. Cheaters never prosper. Stugatz. I ain't cheating. This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stugatz.
Pablo, going back to the Operation Royal Flush, one of the things I've thought about a lot since we recorded the episode is, is there a logical explanation? This isn't like the CBA where it has to be a rational explanation. We're talking about criminal court here. Is there a logical explanation that Chauncey could have unwittingly been involved in this goings-on?

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the NBA's investigation outcomes?
But it seems like they have a depth of information with these people and their cell phones and their group chats that suggests that they were getting information according to the documentary evidence that we are pointing to from some of the people who have previously cooperated with the government before. So that's an active parlor game, right?
Like is Sugar Shane Hennen, this is the parlor game at the ARIA High Limit Bar where he was this year,
hanging out in the same places where the nba guys hang out he was found courtside i mean spoiler alert we sort of revealed this in the episode in a way that's far more fun than me just like barfing it all out at you but the dude was courtside at nba games this year he was watching the miami heat play you guessed it los angeles clippers this year courtside so he's just out here in a way that's sort of boggling the mind if he's also the guy who's supposed to be fearful of his own loss of freedom
The, we can't sell enough that Shane Hennin, like I know a lot of people listen like, who the hell is Shane Hennin? I don't care, tell me more about Chauncey and Terry Rozier. This dude is a character. He's living life exactly the opposite of someone who is feeling the heat of the fuzz coming down on him, right?
He's out in Vegas, he's taking shots to the face, he's got models around with $100 bill bikinis, everything, man. This dude is living.
You don't need to tell me anything else about a person than the phrase stabbing dudes in the neck in a pool hall. Like that sentence is enough for me to say I know that person.
And then two weeks later, sold coke in the parking lot.
That's almost redundant. That's almost redundant what you just said.
He probably did it that day, too. We just don't know about that.
