Chapter 4: How does Cory Booker view the government shutdown and its impacts?
Eastern. See official rules at program website. 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.

This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Senator Cory Booker is going to join us here later in the show. Booker, as Chris Cody called him yesterday. But we let you slide on it. We didn't dine on you for an error of speech. Dan, Dan, may I give you a recommendation? This guy can talk. I'm seeing clips.
Chapter 6: What are the implications of companies bending to presidential will?
Do not give him a runway. Okay, so we've got to make, let's do this correctly because he did speak for 25 straight hours filibustering on the floor and I don't want him to just take over our show and mop us all over the place because we can't shut him up. But his New York sports stink and I want to make fun of him for that because it's a misery right now.
The Yankees and Aaron Judge are saving grace on a miserable New York weekend. If you think New York is bad now, wait till this mayoral race. And when the military take over New York, too. Well, that's in their hands. Okay, thank you for nothing. Jessica's going to join us in a second, but before we do that, let's do the useless sound montage I've just been given. It's freshly baked.
Billy just ran it in off the presses. Billy, did you handle the editing on this?
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.

Chapter 7: How does Cory Booker reflect on the Nets leaving New Jersey?
All right, how we doing? Sorry it took so long, guys. I blame Eddie.
I am 100% showing up. We thought that we were prepared for this, and clearly we weren't. Definitely a lot of things happened.
When you talk about game of inches, it's a game of inches. We can feel it. We know what it looks like. We know what it feels like. And so now we've got to keep getting better. This is what an NFL season's about. You've got to keep getting better, and more opportunities will come ahead of us. Look at the stats. The numbers don't lie.
Chapter 8: What are the top five most successful Stanford quarterbacks according to Cory Booker?
Listen, I'm not throwing any one of these guys out. The only thing that we can do is go back to work. Yeah, I think we lost the game today. Our sense of urgency and our connectedness is always there. It obviously needs to increase because time's ticking.
We believe we're going to be much better than this. We are a much better team than letting a 17-0 lead eviscerate. We've got to figure this out. And we got to figure this out now. You know, like this feeling sucks. It's not a good feeling. We're doing everything we can do to, you know, find solutions, not assign blame. Honestly, like kind of zoned out. I was just trying to drink Gatorade.
There's blood in the water, man. Our guys are starting to feel it, man.
They want to be the next guy who gets the punch out of the strip or the interception. And we're hunting. If the ball's in the air, we're going after it.
Our goal this entire week, and it's cliche and coach speak and all that, but it's how you have to work when you're in these situations is you're just trying to go 1-0. We were saving that blitz for a rainy day, and we brought it out. Just guys executing, doing all the little things right.
Hard to win when you turn the ball over five times, and it was five consecutive drives. It was nice to look around and see everybody dancing and turning up. We've got to capitalize, and when we don't, it's the NFL. We feel like there's diminishing returns every week.
Man, it's just a little... Never about one play, never about one phase. All of us collectively have to do a better job.
I think we're already a tight group, but we've got to get tighter as a group, and guys have got to lock in. I just thought it was a dogfight, and we were in the ring. I can't point anywhere but directly at preparation and how we execute stuff. Not a winning formula right there.
We needed that last drive because the defense was tired, because we were really... to start the second half on offense, and that's my fault. All the 49ers fans here in the stadium on a road game here in Los Angeles. Yeah. Yeah, they are here. You can outstat them to death, but it doesn't matter. It's the score that matters.
