This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.

Against the Spread is presented by DraftKings.
Unknown 0:25
DraftKings, the crown is yours. Roy, what do we got? Bruins at Sabres tonight. The matchup of the Bruins and Sabres in Buffalo has seen the favorites cover the puck line in nine straight games. And the Bruins have lost seven straight road games on the second leg of a back-to-back. So go with the Sabres, who are the favorites tonight. Spread. One and a half against the Spread.
Mike Ryan 0:44
Cancel the spread. Spread. Cancel the spread.
Unknown 0:48
I'm going to the Sweet 16. Darius Acuff Jr.

How does Greg explain the concept of Mount Gregfour?

Unknown 0:52
and them Razorbacks against number one seed Arizona. The Razorbacks are getting plus seven and a half. Seven and a half points for the better player on the court, Darius Acuff Jr. Give me the Razorbacks. Plus seven and a half against Arizona. Nice little upset. I've got them going to the final four. I like Darius Acuff Jr. as I've spoken about, but Coach Cal's got some boys playing very good.
Mike Ryan 1:14
And I'm going to go with the Miami Open, the fifth major. I'll tell you, Dan, that's the last time I stick my neck out for Sebi Korda. That was embarrassing. American tennis. You fell for the okey-doke. You fell for the bait-and-switch.

What insights does Greg share about the Little League Theory?

Mike Ryan 1:26
Yeah, I mean, classic come down. After beating the world number one, he loses a much lower seat. However, there's still two Americans, I believe, perhaps three, alive in the quarters. But we're going to... turn our attention to Argentina. Francisco Sorondolo. I like him plus one and a half sets against Sasha Zverev. I expect Zverev to win, but Sorondolo's had a nice little crowd support at the Miami Open. The Argentinian, he's been tough lately. Let's take him plus one and a half.
Unknown 1:55

Mike Ryan 2:01
You put a B at the start of that?
Dan Le Batard 2:02

How does Greg relate personal experiences to the Little League Theory?

Dan Le Batard 2:02
Against the spread. Against the spread.
Mike Ryan 2:05
Against the spread. Against it.
Stugatz 2:08
Against the spread.
Mike Ryan 2:11
Did you feel... I've been putting consonants in front of vowels my whole life. You guys think his voice sounds good. You guys think it sounds better.
Dan Le Batard 2:20
I'm going to find a clip. I can find a clip of it being worse.
Mike Ryan 2:23
Greg, again, your coffee breakfast and the fact that you drink thermoses of coffee for breakfast has made your stomach make a sound while you're talking that you don't hear. We have it again. This is not altered. Just so that you hear... I can hear the sounds of the gurgling and the dancing swords next to me.

What does Greg mean by 'we're losing recipes'?

Mike Ryan 2:42
Listen here to what your stomach does. Coach, in today's landscape. Sounds like a cat purring in the middle of it. Coach, in today's landscape, it's AI. It's not AI. Unless the I is foreign. Allen Iverson made that sound. Are we certain that's Greg? See? I'm pretty sure. Because I got to tell you, I got the high-def headphones on. Those sounds come out of Dan's throat a lot. Thank you. I didn't want to say it. I would like to hear it one more time.

What examples does Greg provide for the Mount Greg 4 categories?

Mike Ryan 3:14
Coach, in today's landscape. Yeah, that's a Dan one for me. That's a Dan one.
Dan Le Batard 3:19
That's you, Dan.
Mike Ryan 3:20
It's a shocking development. I don't think we know that. No, it's more likely Dan.
Dan Le Batard 3:25
We also don't know that it's Greg's stomach.
Mike Ryan 3:27
Look, I've never heard Greg's stomach do that noise. Thank you. Mid-word. I have heard Dan do that noise all the time. Coach, in today's landscape. Yeah. Well, now I don't want to look at Dan again.

How does Greg's voice affect the show's dynamics?

Mike Ryan 3:41
Dan, was it you? It was not me. Admit it. Own up. You're the one that is drinking coffee all show. Was it you? No. Whoa. I never suspected him until that answer. Really?
Jeremy 3:56
Whoever denied it supplied it. We all know that.
Mike Ryan 3:58
Everyone knows that.
Jeremy 3:58
It's a basic rule.
Mike Ryan 3:59
Everyone knows that.

What final thoughts does Greg have about the evolution of sports commentary?

Jeremy 4:00
Just like you being a cuck.
Mike Ryan 4:01
Jeremy, if people want more whoever denied it supplied it, they can have it live tomorrow on Pitch Clock as you're beginning to kick off the segregated baseball season that we won't talk about around here. What are you doing tomorrow when that happens?
Jeremy 4:18
Very excited for this, Dan. So tomorrow from 3 to 5, we're going to have a live stream on the Levitard Show YouTube page.
Mike Ryan 4:25
Myself, Chris Cody, I know against your wishes, but Ethan Badowski will have a microphone for portions of this so that we can play some of our trivia that we do on Pitch Clock.
