Why does Dan hate the New York Knicks?
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Against the Spread is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Roy, what do we got?
Kings at Avalanche tonight. The Avalanche are one and a half goal favorites. Yeah, take them against the spread. Tony. So Lakers are going to be dogs every game in this series.
Yeah. All right. But yet they'll probably win one. You're already wrong. I don't know, man. They won a game. I mean, I didn't expect Durant not to play.
What are you saying I don't know, man, for when you apologized for this yesterday? You said they weren't going to win a game and they won the first game.
I didn't apologize. Durant not playing. You said this before you knew their opponent. Yeah. Okay, that's not true. Yes, it is.
You said it yesterday. Yes, it is. How would I know they're not going to win a game if I don't know who they're playing against? You said it. You proclaimed this. What if they were playing against Portland? You proclaimed it. What if they were playing Golden State? You proclaimed this weeks ago.
They would have never done that. It was a decree. Not only that, we knew number one, number two seeds were locked. We know the Lakers could only finish best as three.
You knew that. You've got to wait 82 games. You've got to see outstanding shakeout.
A big sign of emotional maturity is being able to admit when you had it wrong. You're an emotional baby.
You didn't apologize for this yesterday? Why would I apologize? Because you got it wrong and I thought you were embarrassed and I went home. Look, late at night, I was questioning everything about things because I allowed you to make a time travel movie, a sci-fi movie. Put it on the poll, by the way. I don't think I've answered this question. Is a time travel movie a sci-fi movie?
Are you apologizing for saying Boricue? I mean, of course.
You do need to apologize for that. Of course it's a time.
So the time travel genre cannot be its own genre.
It's a subgenre. Do you folks not know subgenres? These are classified in the traditional action, comedy, drama, romance. Shark movie. Sci-fi. No. Shark. It's not on the genre pyramid. Forget it. Then when you get one of the blocks of sci-fi or horror, then you start peeling back the layers and you're like, all right, here's a shark. You know the slasher film? Is it demonic possession? Do you know a slasher? You know Halloween? How about Hitchhiker? Halloween? You know about Halloween? That's a slasher movie. How about Scream? But it's also a horror movie. Larger genre.
What makes LeBron James a unique athlete?
You mentioned the Lakers. Per Andrew Marchand of The Athletic, Mike Tomlin is headed to NBC and Football Night in America. Oh, let me find this here. I'm sorry. Splash. I was a little slow there. Maybe he'll explain to us the first time there why he let the Steelers.
You're like a dog with a bone on this one.
I'm just curious. It really is just unending curiosity. I'd like to hear from somebody who's entertaining and has been a pillar in that sport for a long time. I'm not used to mysteries being involved with how it is that somebody who's never had a losing season leaves quietly and doesn't say anything to anybody.
Don't blink. We blink first. That's an upgrade over Dungy, right? Yes.
You mentioned blinking and don't blink first. Why did I see when I walked in today a leaf blower being blown in the face of people with terrible facial hair? And I will get to the basketball from last night in a second because that was a lot of fun, what happened to the New York Knicks last night, what the Atlanta Hawks did last night. But I don't want to get there until I show this competition. And, Chris, you're going to have to explain to me what this is.
He doesn't know anything. I know, Dan. I saw it too, but go ahead. This is part and parcel with the basketball from last night. The Cleveland Cavaliers in the middle of the quarter breaks, they'll do little games, and this one was don't blink. The don't blink contest. So what they do is they take a leaf blower and have you open your eyes, and then they spray you with air for as much as possible, and then you have the timer in the bottom corner, and it's like, all right, it's like riding a bull.
