This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Amin El-Hassan will join us fresh off of the All-Star Game appearance, All-Star Weekend. And we also have a montage package that we're going to get to in a second. But Tony's in position right now. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Who retires first, LeBron or Greg Cody? Tony is in position right now. He is going to bet the castle.
What were the biggest storylines from NBA All-Star Weekend?
It's 60 seconds. It's delicious. It's tasty. And a castle is being bet. Take it away, Tony. Hey, Dano. All right, so we've got the White Castle sliders. I'm going with jalapeno cheese today. That's my slider of choice. I'm going to throw 60 seconds on the clock and then give you guys the bet the castle. So here we go. A hot take. So you're giving us a literal hot take. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. So, all right, 60 seconds on the clock. I am betting the castle on the Houston Cougars. We're going into March. We're going into the tournament. I know they just lost to Iowa State in a bad fashion. They had a phantom kickball that ended up turning the game. They had a 10-point lead, then lost by a couple of three. But I'm going to tell you this.
Houston Cougars, tough defensive team, number two in the country. Kingston Flemings, I want you guys to remember that name. Ballers should be up there on the draft buzz. There should be more. DeBansa, Peterson, Boozer. So up there on the draft buzz.
Up there.
He should be higher up on DraftBuzz than he is right now. Kingston Flemings, you're going to like that name. Come March, I'm going to give you the Cougars plus 750 to win the tournament. I think they have the third highest odds. I like their mix of defense. I like Kingston Flemings. If you're going to build a March Madness winner, you need a star, and then you need a great team around them of guys that will never make it to the NBA. And that's what I like looking at Houston. Great defensive team. Kelvin Sampson and them boys. Here we go. Let me take these out so I can get them a little cooler. Strange time for you to do it, though, after they did lose the late game last night.
But see, that's where you get the best value, Dan. That's why I know you're not thinking the right way. Get them after a loss.
Exactly right. You get them after a loss, you get more juice on it. DraftKings is giving you plus 750 for the second best defensive team in the country with Kelvin Sampson and them boys, plus Kingston Fleming.
Dan, how much do you want? Let's see here. Bet the Castle is presented by White Castle. Hunger says eat. Cravings say eat this. And with White Castle's 100% beef, grilled onions, melty cheese, and steamy buns that hold it all together, how can you not crave that castle?
That is a good one. I didn't like the bet, but I did like the burger. Jalapeno cheese is the way to go. So good. I thought the timing was suspicious. Dusty May is pretty good at what he does, by the way, right? Michigan. They win every game by like 30. Yeah. But whatever it is that happened at FAU that they weren't able to parlay, he's now the number one team in the country, and they're in a much better position than they were during the emotional Jawan Howard years. Michigan was very good last year, but they're even better this year. Arizona's now lost a couple of times, lost the other night to Texas Tech. Do you like Michigan, Mike? I do. I like Desi May a lot. An incredible college basketball slate this week.
They're breaking up some conference play. Time to start paying attention. Yeah, I think they realize they've got the sports calendar now, and they're trying to put their best foot forward there. It's an exciting sport now with all these players kind of sticking around and developing there. Yeah, I'm hugely into it. I really do like Michigan. But, Dan, that's where you get the value, after a loss. Their odds are a little bit worse. If you still have faith, now is when you invest. You hold them. Amin's going to join us here in a second to do some of the stuff from All-Star Weekend, but let's fire off that montage as we wait for him. Are y'all going to give more effort this year, or is it kind of like it is what it is at this point?
