Chapter 4: How did injuries impact the Cyclones' performance?
If you're still feeling fantasy stress, try a Dentek nighttime dental guard to protect your teeth. Available at all major retailers.
Mike, you know I have one rule to live by, right? Don't place parlays on multiple long shots. Don't say a game is won when it hasn't hit triple zero. Always drink your JƤgermeister ice cold. That's the rule. Everything else is merely a suggestion. 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.
Chapter 5: What are the top five things colder than Justin Fields?
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. You're finally starting to get it. Drink responsibly. Jagermeister liqueur, 35% alcohol by volume, imported by Mass Jagermeister U.S., White Plains, New York.
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
How about that Mariners-Tigers game, huh? Nobody cares. Nobody cares. Too much football. Too much football.
You're finally speaking my language. I'm ashamed to admit this.

Chapter 6: What insights were shared about the NFL's latest games?
My eyes got a little too heavy. It was an exciting night at the front. I fell asleep because of all the emotional drain that the Friday night match against Udonis Haslam's Renegades provided.
I heard that you had to make an executive decision that was very unpopular as a leader.
Dan, I got into a shouting match in the locker room with one of our players. The Undertaker. For those that aren't following this amazing season that the Cyclones are having in Battlecourt, top of the standings right now, first place, we've had so many injuries. Dan, we've had injuries to injury replacements.
So we had to go into this Friday without our best player, Manu, the captain, the legend, the greatest backcourter on the planet. We needed emergency replacements, and yet we still got the dub. However, watching this match play out, IƱaki, our tremendous frontcourter, he pulled a bicep. We had the match day secured thanks to the bravery of Robin, and I made the call. Where's the gigolo?
Guys, the gigolo's there waiting in the wings if we need him. My suit.

Chapter 7: How does the team view the current state of college football?
But I made the call with a six and final match that was relatively meaningless for the Cyclones. I said, we're going to go ahead and forfeit this match, guys. We have the match day secured. And Unda was not happy. Unda was yelling at me. Unda's like, you know how crazy I am? I think about this sport six days a week. I'm like, your math is a little off their butt. But he's like, I need to play.
You need me to play so I can get better. I'm like, I concede that, but I'm not going to throw out Jairo for a third match when IƱaki's just torn his bicep a little bit. I got Manu getting treatment. We're a walking mash unit. We're like, you can go, but we're trying to save Jairo. Were you involved in the shouting too?
Chapter 8: What humorous moments occurred regarding a butt plug discussion?
I was not there Friday. I had a parlay, honestly. I was anti-Mike. I was like, let's finish this thing. If you watch the broadcast, it was a little awkward because the players took the front on for match six while the GM was saying, we're not going to do that. And they had to get pulled off the front on. Wow.
That would be a national controversy if it happened in football or something. That's a big controversy.
I like that competitive spirit and that fire from Unda. Those were good sparks. That is true locker room leadership. Manu had my back, as a true captain does. Boss, you made the right move. I got complimented from the league office that said these players need a good GM to protect them from themselves. We are first place, and we're not going to risk injury in match six. You know why, Chris?
Because the standard is championship level. We need to win a Battlecore championship here. We need to, and that is the main thing. Mike, question for you. Do you guys still have the curtain of the locker room? Yes. That sure is everybody's locker room?
Mm-hmm. Okay.
So just to be clear. Just to be clear, that's the end of the longest winner-take-all baseball game in the history of major baseball. That concludes ALDS talk.
Yeah, I was watching Lions-Chiefs. I forgot all about them. No, no, this wasn't. This was like five days ago. No, this was three days ago. He was watching it, though.
This was Friday night.
Remember, he's in pain.
