What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast. Zaslow's having a rough day here. He just injured himself just bringing his chair in. He hurt his finger. I saw him shaking it here. Yeah, you seem like you're a little bit physically hurt. Amin al-Hassan will be here shortly. We'll get into Zaslow's dream with Amin. Amin's also a weird dreamer. Evidently, Zaslow has had a weird dream. He hasn't told me what it is yet. He's just told me he's had another one of these weird dreams. So we'll get into that with Amin in a second. We're also going to get into this Jokic... dork back and forth with the main, but I wanted to ask you guys something about the back and forth between Kevin Durant and Tyler Hero.
So Tyler Hero calls Kevin Durant a whiny B word. Kevin Durant calls Tyler Hero the P word. And after they have done that, the two of them say, we respect each other. And I just don't think that In any other context that I can think of, that exchange would happen between two people who would then immediately afterwards say, we respect each other, because that sounds disrespectful. What are the other workplaces where two people would talk to each other like that?
What unusual dream did Zaslow experience?
Because Kevin Durant said, let's move past that. The quote is, I've got respect for Tyler. He has respect for me. And those words, they're just words at the end of the day. We didn't do nothing too much. It wasn't too physical on our end, but I appreciate his competitiveness and vice versa. We can move on from that one. Not too serious. Tyler Hero says he was saying I couldn't guard and I said something to him, but we're competing at the end of the day. You want to be able to play against the best players in the world. and be able to compete like that. That's what I live for. I love to compete. Are there other places, and I'm not talking about like human resources or anything, but are there other places where I can have that exchange of name calling with somebody and say afterward, credibly, I respect that person.
That's someone I still respect. I'm sorry, I feel like it happens in MMA. You're having a terrible day. You need to go out again because you just, you did it again. You can come back in a second. Two minutes, delay a show. But Juju was clearly going to talk there. It was clearly his floor and you just got in the way and just heel your finger in the other room. Juju, you were saying?
How did Tyler Hero and Kevin Durant's exchange escalate?
The UFC. Yeah, competing, fighting. Also, rap battles. Also, well, yeah, I guess rap battles, although I don't think that Kendrick and Drake respect each other. Like, I don't think that what they have done, they probably have gone to a place where the disrespect is real. You can... The thing that I'm noticing, though, when it comes to these two particular things, when it comes to these two human beings that I believe them, when they say, that's nothing, it's just talk, it's not a place that I ever visit. I never feel so competitive about anything that something like that would come out of my mouth. towards somebody that I actually liked and respected. Like I really don't, you, you, can you guys say, can you guys?
No, I just, they just put in the preview him hurting his finger. So I just. No, that was on air too. I just saw him injuring himself. It's just not something I remember. I was playing ping pong one time with David Sampson. He's very competitive. And that level of competition was something that I long ago sort of lost interest in. the ego stuff that comes with being really competitive. It's not something in adulthood that I held onto. I didn't even feel like it was good for me to be noticing what other people are doing and then start competing with them. So this doesn't exist in me anymore where I would be across from somebody. Imagine how Tyler Hero actually thinks of Kevin Durant. and that something would stir in him while he's playing against Kevin Durant, who must be a genuine hero to Tyler Hero, to hear that come out of Kevin Durant's mouth at him, it's just because it's part of the culture they exist in.
It's the most normal thing in the world to respect someone and disrespect them that way.
