Chapter 1: Who are the morning people?
Kennt ihr auch diesen einen Freund, der morgens einfach so ruckzuck aus dem Bett und danach aus dem Grinsen gar nicht mehr rauskommt? Der sogar noch vor dem ersten Kaffee unverschämt gut gelaunt ist und mit der Morgensonne um die Wette strahlt? Furchtbar. Ekelhaft.
Chapter 2: How can you become a morning person?
Wie kann man nur so... Ausgeruht sein? Ganz einfach. Trainiere deinen Schlaf und werde auch du zum Morgenmenschen. Mit der Galaxy Watch 7 oder dem Galaxy Ring und der Samsung Health App.
Chapter 3: What is the origin of Tequila?
Now is a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented Tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.
Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads like... Cuervo. I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo. The tequila that invented tequila. Proximo. Cuervo.com.
Please drink responsibly.
Chapter 4: What are the latest NHL playoffs updates?
Cuervo. This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast. Cuervo. All right, everybody, it's time for Against the Screen! And it's presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours! Game 4, Stanley Cup Playoffs, first round. The Florida Panthers lead the series against the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1. The Panthers have a seven-game winning streak at home following a loss.
However, between these two teams, Florida and Tampa... The Underdogs have covered the puck line in 11 of the last 12 games in Sunrise. And because of that, I think the Panthers are going to win, but they are going to win by one. So, yes, go with the Tampa Bay Lightning at a underdog of a goal and a half against the spread. But the Panthers are going to win. Billy!
Chapter 5: What makes the Panthers vs. Lightning series special?
Dan, ich bleibe auf dem Eis und nehme die Florida Panthers. Minus 1,5 gegen die Tampa Bay Lightning. Ich weiß nicht, was hier rumläuft. Ich weiß nicht, was hier rumläuft. Wo alle auf einmal Angst vor diesem Lightning-Team haben. Und ich war gesagt, ich erinnere mich nicht. Weil, ehrlich gesagt, ich habe geblasen. Weil, wenn ich rot sehe... Ich sehe auch schwarz, an dem gleichen Zeitpunkt.
Letzte Woche sah ich rot und schwarz. Und ich wurde über den Wochenende erzählt, dass ich in der Panthers- und Lightning-Serie erklärte, dass ich von der Lightning getroffen werden wollte. Und das war so unbefreundet von der Lightning, dass ich war. Und ich erinnere mich nicht daran, das zu sagen. But I believe that in my heart and soul.
This Lightning Team is so soft, that if they struck me, I wouldn't even feel it. It'd be like a zap. A little zap. So I know what you're saying. So far in this series, the Road Team has won every game, Billy. Panthers won 2-2 at Tampa. Tampa came back, returned the favor. Seemed like a very lopsided game. 5-1. Don't pay attention to that score. Open netter in there.
When there's an open netter, you toss the records out. You know what I mean? That game... Hm, ein kleiner Blitz auf dem Radar. Die Panthers kommen zurück und zeigen allen, warum. Das ist in Sunrise, Florida, das Home-Ice, das alle Angst vor dem Spiel haben. Es ist so heiß, dass das Eis melzen kann, weil der Energie, den alle Panthers-Fans in die Arena bringen, wenn sie rot sehen.
Und Dan, du weißt, weil du diesen Drum gespielt hast, du weißt, dass, wenn dieser Drum gespielt wird, es ein völlig anderes Tier ist. Er hat gerade gesagt, dass die Road-Team alle Spiele gewinnt. Das war seine Information. I said it too and I'm telling you, that ends today. Ride the Panthers and ride them hard. Florida Panthers, minus one and a half. Against the Spring.
I'm glad in a contract year you guys are doing such a good job with not doing that in a way that impresses anybody. You both just picked it. All you guys do is make Homer picks. You guys just pick the home team to always... No, no.
I told you guys all year long. My NHL picks have been on fire this year. I've been telling you guys, Ducks fly together all year long. Now, unfortunately, the Ducks aren't in the playoffs right now, so I can't take the Ducks. But, tonight, we're on the panel.
Roy, versuch nicht, dein Pick zu verteidigen, indem du sagst, ich habe nur die Panthers gewonnen mit einem einzigen Ziel. Du versuchst mir zu zeigen, was ein Homer du nicht bist, indem du immer die Panthers wählst, um zu gewinnen. Hör auf, sie werden heute Abend nicht coveren, Dan, ich bin sorry. Hell yeah, sie sind es.
Aber Billy sagt, sie sind es, also habt ihr verschiedene Picks. Will jemand Tampa wählen? Ich darf nicht. Roy hat Tampa technisch gewählt. No, he didn't pick Tampa. He did not pick Tampa technically. He picked Florida technically. To win, he said flatly he thought Florida would win. But not to cover. Yeah, it's a one and a half goal spread. If this was the money line, it would be different.

Chapter 6: Why is the Heat's playoff performance notable?
Okay, thank you. I appreciate you petering out there the way that you did. I did the math. Okay, you did the math. You did it by average and then you did four games instead of three. That's the way averages work. They've only played three. What are you supposed to do? And in Greg's defense he said in his memory he didn't remember the other series. Yeah, that's true.
Well, I remembered that the Grizzlies lost 4-0 by less than a margin than the Heat is currently losing. That's what I remembered. Was I right? Hell yes. Yes, I was.
You are not right that this is the most lopsided series ever played. You are also not right on the idea that somebody hasn't been outscored by more than 70 whatever points you have said. But through three games Memphis had been outscored by OKC by more than the Cavs have outscored the Heat. Yeah, but not in total.
Wenn ich darf, Greg, lass mich dich hier aufstehen. Danke. Die Playoffs sind alles um Änderungen, richtig? Was da passiert ist, Greg hat gesagt, 76 Punkte sind der größte Niveau im Laufe einer Serie, in seiner Erinnerung. Und dann haben wir ihn angerufen und dann hat er herausgefunden, dass es nicht so war, aber es war, wenn du das Average machst.
Was Greg da gerade gemacht hat, Dan, ist ein Playoff-Änderung. Er hat sich eingestellt. Es ist ein Chess-Move. Jetzt ist es deine Zeit. Was wirst du tun?
Was waren Ihre Gedanken dieses Wochenende, als Sie den Raum sahen, in dem Texas-Quarterback Quinn Ewers saß, während er gedraftet wurde? Ich dachte, dass Quinn Ewers höher gehen würde. Hast du den Raum gesehen, den wir gesprochen haben? Schau dir das Bild an. Oh mein Gott.
Das war eine sehr schwierige Entscheidung, in die NFL zu gehen, als jeder wusste, dass er nicht sehr hoch eingeladen werden wird. Und jetzt, glaube ich, wird er auf den Dolphins und er wird etwa 800.000 Dollar pro Jahr verdienen. Er bekommt also 10% von dem, was er bekommen hätte, wenn er letztes Jahr in der Universität geblieben wäre. Ich glaube, er ist wirklich auf sich selbst gehandelt.
Die Raum ist wild und ich denke, und ich könnte hier falsch sein, ich denke, wenn die Trainer und die GMs diese Raum früher gesehen hätten, dann hätte er wahrscheinlich höher eingeladen. I think that part of the reason why he didn't get drafted earlier is because they didn't see that room. Because that room reads, NFL coaches love this guy. Killer. Killer instinct. Hunter, yeah, absolutely.
Guys, I think I've discovered my new assignment for Pablo Torre finds out. Give it to yourself. Yes, I'm going to find out. I don't think he killed all those animals. Right now that's stolen valor. That's not him. Somebody else did the hunting and he just sat on the couch. I need Ron McGill's commentary on that photo, by the way. Alright, we will get that tomorrow. He's not here today.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the NFL draft decisions?
That's just a stuffed animal. That's not something that was killed. That's what I'm saying. I think if we do a little deep dive into a lot of these animals in the background, we're going to find out a lot of this is just all fictitious. Fugazi. This guy right here, he's playing the part. You know what? I wouldn't draft him because I don't believe he did all this stuff.
Was ist, wenn sie animatronisch sind und es wirklich wie Country Bear Jamboree ist, wenn er in die Wohnung geht und startet zu singen? Ist Country Bear Jamboree immer noch ein Ding bei Disney?
Oh, es wurde wieder aufgeräumt. Ja, Country Bear Musical Jamboree. Also bin ich nicht zu lange hergekommen. Und ich sage dir was, Dan, sie schlossen es vor ungefähr einem Jahr und sie haben es wieder aufgeräumt. Weißt du was, wenn du Disney-Töne magst, dann sind die Bärs, es klingt gruselig, jetzt singen sie ein paar Hits. Sie singen Aladdin.
Ist das ein T-Rex? Ist das ein T-Rex? Das ist das, was ich euch gesagt habe. Komm schon. Komm schon, Mann. Du, dieser Kerl ist ein Timedrafter. Dieser Kerl ist ein Fraud. Was meinst du mit einem Fraud? Das ist absolut etwas. Er hätte höher gedraftet, wenn niemand gesehen hätte, dass das ein T-Rex war in der Runde des Raumes.
Kann ich dich fragen, weil er ein Dolphin ist, also gibt es hier eine Art Verbindung? Als wir zu Tag 3 kamen, dachtest du, Dan, was ich dachte? Shadur ist besser als Zach Wilson. Shadur und die Dolphins könnten hier ein bisschen Sinn machen. Jetzt ist das Problem... Das Problem ist, wir wissen, dass Tua in einer Art und Weise wieder getötet werden wird.
Und wenn Shador kommt, wenn er die Dinge aufleuchtet, dann hast du wirklich eine Wettbewerbskontroverse auf deinen Händen, was ich finde, warum du Quinn Ewers bekommst, weil ich glaube nicht, dass eine Person auf der Erde, die für Quinn Ewers kommen wird, oder Zach Wilson, kommt. Aber das ist der Grund, warum du Shador nicht bekommst.
Weil du die Kontroverse nicht willst, wenn Tua wieder getötet wird. But he's better than Zach Wilson. But Billy, wouldn't you rather have two good quarterbacks than one?
Yes, I do. Because I've seen what happens when Tua gets hurt every year, that they don't have a competent backup plan. And now the backup plan is Zach Wilson, who is, I guess, better than the options that they've had in the past. But we know that he's not going to be.
But why would you say that Quinn Ewers is better than him when one of them has a skill set that gets drafted top five in the sport and the other one in a draft that's weak on quarterback goes late in the draft?

Chapter 8: How does team dynamics affect quarterback choices?
No, no, no. I'm saying Shador is better than Quinn Ewers and Zach Wilson. That's why I would have taken him. But are they better than Zach Wilson, given that Zach Wilson's measurables were he's a top five first round pick?
Well, I mean, we know what Zach Wilson is, where I guess in the unknown we don't know what Shador is in the NFL, right? Like we've seen Zach Wilson in so many stops that like I would rather gamble and have Shador be my backup quarterback than have Zach Wilson, who we kind of know what exactly he's going to be.
Verzeihung, als Dan sagte, wenn ein Mann eine Fähigkeit hat, die wir kennen, um in den Top 5 des NFL-Drafts zu sein, dachte ich, du hättest Quinn Ewers in den T-Rex gehauen. Ich dachte, das ist eine ziemlich gute Fähigkeit. Ich meine, wenn er sie hat, eine Zeitmaschine.
By the way, Zach Wilson's top five days seem like a thousand years ago. He's proved himself for what he is. That's why the Dolphins got him on a one-year deal for the NFL equivalent of about $5,000.
How old, just for the record, how old is Zach Wilson? Because while I understand that we've seen him play in the pros and not play well in the pros, his measurables in a good quarterback draft... got him drafted very high. You guys are talking about people who are in a weak quarterback draft who went very low. Yeah, but they went low in Shador. He fell historically.
But even if he'd been taken highest, even if he'd been taken the highest that anyone had taken him in any of the drafts, ninth from the Saints, he still would have had a skill set less good where the measurables are than Shador. Zach Wilson.
But the measurables can be deceiving, right? Like Mel Kuyper famously said that if Jimmy Claussen didn't work out, he would retire. And he didn't retire. He's still doing this. So like, you can only really go by the measurables for so long. Zach, we've seen it just hasn't really worked out for him. It didn't work out for him at the Jets once. It didn't work out for him at the Jets a second time.
Then he goes to Denver. It doesn't work out there. Now he's over here. And they're paying him a lot. They're paying him 8 million dollars, when in the past, like, the Dolphins haven't spent on a backup quarterback, which is why they've been in the spot that they're in. I'm just saying, Had they gone for... I understand why they didn't. Because you don't want to have Shador as your backup.
Especially when you have Tua that is your franchise guy. You paid him all of that money last year. But the fanbase honestly is still very split on if Tua is the guy or not. Even though they gave him all the money. So I understand why you wouldn't bring in a guy like Shador. Just to add fuel to the fire of, hey, if Tua is struggling a little bit, we have Shador here. Who can be better? But...
