How does Carvana make selling a car convenient?

Advertisement Narrator 0:11
Yeah, sure thing. Hey, you sold that car yet? Yeah, sold it to Carvana. Oh, I thought you were selling to that guy. The guy who wanted to pay me in foreign currency, no interest over 36 months? Yeah, no. Carvana gave me an offer in minutes, picked it up, and paid me on the spot. It was so convenient. Just like that? Yeah. No hassle? None. That is super convenient. Sell your car to Carvana and swap hassle for convenience. Pick up fees may apply.

Who is Seth Davis and what is his role in sports broadcasting?

Dan Le Batard 1:16
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast. This guy's going to be co-anchoring his 21st Selection Sunday. 21 of them he's got on the resume. It is next Sunday, 6 p.m. Eastern Time on CBS. We are going to do our own Selection Sunday show for fun next Sunday live. He's also the co-founder and editor-in-chief of of Hoops HQ, Seth Davis with us. Again, 21 years is crazy.
Stugotz 1:59
No.
Seth Davis 2:01
you have named uh first of all it's amazing to hear you say that i've done 21 shows because i'm only 26 so obviously uh i'm the dude i'm the doogie hauser of sports broadcasting uh you you've actually named in one of the shows i actually watch uh i am not a shows guy or a movie i'm even worse with movies so i've watched a few shows i i am not caught up on white lotus i am
Dan Le Batard 2:22
through season two uh i know we're in season three i've watched a couple episodes of severance i have no idea what's going on but then again i usually uh don't have any idea what's going on so it's all good are you guys uh falling asleep during severance i like severance but i keep falling i cannot stay awake for severance there's something about the tone and the pacing of it that is so slow that i'm perpetually even though i like it i'm perpetually falling asleep during it
Seth Davis 2:49
100%. First of all, part of it is I usually watch it at night with my wife and I'm 54 and I'm lazy. So, yeah, by the time we get about halfway through, I nod off and then I have to watch, you know, the last 15 minutes the next morning during my workout or something to stay caught up. So these are first world problems for sure.
Chris Cote 3:10
I apologize for not responding to that. I have never watched Severance. I wouldn't even have heard of it except my wife watches it because she watches everything. I watch very little TV, although I do love White Lotus.
Dan Le Batard 3:21
Can you please explain to me whether or not you're surprised that Rick Pitino has been allowed to climb back toward the top of the sport given how his last tenure ended?
Seth Davis 3:33
No, because he can win. you know, the, uh, the ability for people to get past certain things is directly correlated to your ability to win. And no one can ever, um, question Rick's ability to win. You know, it's, it's interesting, Dan, the thing that he was eventually fired for in relation to the, um, FBI investigation was like the biggest nothing burger of all time. I mean, that case was an incredible waste of time, money, energy, attention. Basically, these FBI agents heard all these low-level scammers scamming each other, and they thought they were telling the truth. So when one guy tells another, hey, man, I got Patino, I got Self, I got Laraneg, I got this guy, the FBI thinks, hey, all we got to do is move in on those guys, and they'll flip.
Seth Davis 4:16
Well, it turns out there was nothing to flip to. So the problem with Rick was the optics of his being even tangentially linked to that case on top of the other things that had happened, some of which were directly his fault, some of which were his fault by responsibility. It was that accumulation. But there were other places, Kansas in particular, basically said to the NCAA, like, Give us everything you got. And they stuck by Bill Self and nothing happened to him. And he was in it considerably deeper than Rick was at the time. So there might be a little bit, I don't know what the opposite of buyer's remorse is at Louisville with Patino, maybe firer's remorse, if that's a thing. But no, I'm not surprised because he's a great coach.
