Chapter 1: What controversy arises after the Heat's loss to the Jazz?
I don't know what's about to happen today, Dan, but what I do know is Chris is walking around in the room over there before the show starts talking about what a big fraud I am. And I don't know what that's about. Who's he telling that to? He's like, oh, Zazzle, big fraud, big fraud. Phony baloney, I believe I said as well. Wow. Like, what are you talking about?
Whoa, which is worse? Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Big fraud or phony baloney?
You know, you got something to say when you say it. I wanted to save it.
No, I guess now we're here, though. Just mumbling phony. I heard the word cuck to out there somewhere. No! I heard it. Dan, weeks ago, months ago at this point, Zaslow made fun of me for going to Vegas to see the Backstreet Boys. That's right.
He went to Backstreet Boys and took his wife all the way to Vegas for Backstreet Boys.
Remember what he said he was going to Vegas this weekend?
I'm going tomorrow night.
You know what he's doing there?
No.

Chapter 2: How do the hosts react to Zaslow's boy band concert plans?
It's a worse thing. What? You know what?
Jeremy's got this right, actually. Not surprisingly. He knows the nuance between the boy bands and... Of course I do. And he's right. You're going to a rip-off version of that. Are you going to the... Yeah, right. New kids were first.
They were first, but worse. Don't sell them short. There's a possibility here that he hits up his friend in New Kids for tickets to BSB at the Sphere, too.
Oh, yeah. I'm definitely not going to see Backstreet Boys at the Sphere. I don't believe you. Everybody knows I cannot go to the Sphere because I have vertigo, and I would get very sick during the show. So I cannot go to the Sphere, all right? So don't even worry about it.
Everybody knows that? Everyone knows.
Everybody knows that. The Sphere is dangerous for you? Yeah, because the visuals and the spinning. Can you put me there? Like, what happens? You walk in, and you're like, ah! Well, I mean, I would just be in the middle of the show and I'd probably start puking. Like, it'd be bad.
Are you the person that those warnings on the, you know, on Netflix or the streamers where they say strobing lights?
Where I have, like, epilepsy?
Well, I'm just, I mean, I've never known who, I don't know anybody who those warnings are for. I don't know anybody. When they put this has smoking and also strobe lights that make people dizzy, I've never met anyone.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the Marlins bringing back teal uniforms?
I don't want it. He doesn't remember who he's going to see. Wild. I think it's the Eagles.
There can't be many people going to the Sphere in a couple weeks who don't know who they're going to see.
I like the idea that he's on the plane for the six-hour flight, and they're like, what are you going to do in Vegas? I don't know.
Well, at some point it'll come up on the flight. A couple of cocktails in, I'll ask her, who are we seeing, by the way? Eagles? Yeah, that's what I thought. But it could be somebody else. I agreed to it, so it must be somebody I want to see. I hope it's Backstreet. No, it's not. It's not a boy band. It's an old man band.
We had the close when he said boy band. Oh, okay.
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Bryce Sensabaugh. Mike Biamonti's got to go out better than this. That is as bad a loss as I've ever seen them have last night. I'm not even kidding. Even though they were only a five and a half point favorite in that game. That Bam Adebayo quote, coming out of that mouth when that team's not good enough and he's the guy you need to beat Utah at home when Utah's trying to lose.
You guys saw the Bam Adebayo quote, right? I mean, I just, I've never seen that come out of a heat mouth before, where he's saying, we've got to find a way to win against the teams that are, I guess you can say, trying to lose. Utah benched its players in the fourth quarter.
They just lost this way at Orlando, and when Ethan Skolnick asks Utah's coach, Will whatever his name is, when they ask him, hey, how tempted were you to put in Markkinen in the fourth quarter? Wasn't. Wasn't going to. Had no intention. Zaz accused people yesterday of point shaving and said they should be put in prison because of what Utah is doing.

Chapter 4: How does the conversation shift to the Miami Hurricanes' basketball season?
That living room looks like out of 1970s Jacksonville. Is it the paint on the wall?
Maybe the camera. Why is it a bad shot?
Well, what happened? First of all, what happened? Because you said, look at my wife panicking. As you're standing nearby doing nothing, all you've done is harm and then took credit and turned and swung and did a promo. The best television I've seen since Tony marveled at Jason Garrett turning to a camera with one gleaming tooth and smiling at a camera.
I'm telling you, this is seconds before kickoff, and he touches the remote, and all of a sudden we can't get it off the screen, and my mom and my brother have to come running in.
Well, I normally don't touch a remote.
Right, and you did it right before halftime.
The only reason I did it was the volume thing. We had it at like 99 or 100. It was like blaring, and I was about to make an announcement to hold the commercials sacrosanct and shut up when the commercials come on.
That did nothing because I didn't hear a single commercial. That's a good announcement, though. It's important. Thank you. Yeah, it is important. He did it during a commercial, by the way, that announcement. You know, you got to do it sometime.
Zazz, why are you looking at Cody this way?

Chapter 5: What are the reactions to the Heat's performance and point shaving accusations?
That's no slight on the Miami Hurricanes. He's one of the best players in the country. And that's a giant game. The student section is going to be full tonight. They're honoring the U.M. football team as well. So it'll be the best crowd of the season as well. The best crowd these players have ever played in front of, correct?
like yeah it's a whole new team it's a whole new team whole new staff there isn't a holdover from last year so yeah definitely and it's at a finally a convenient time these game times have been weird you know putting cal and stanford in the acc is really muck things up what time is tonight tonight's seven o'clock tip you know it's better than the nine o'clock week night tip that we had against stanford that point guard's very good by the way
So they lose at Cal the day I said they were a tournament team. They lost as an 11.5 point favorite. Beat BC. Haven't played a whole lot of good teams. Mike's still questioning whether they're a tournament team. And Joe Linardi is saying they're a 10 seed.
They've got the kind of record you want to have, but now begins the difficult part of the schedule and when you're going to test yourself against the Boozers or Cam Boozer, I guess, because his brother's not playing as much. Yeah, he's not that good.
Yeah, but Cam is amazing.
Yes, Cam is amazing.
If Miami wins this game, they are pretty entrenched unless they fall off this last quarter of the season.
But this is a tough 10 days they've got. This is the toughest stretch of their schedule with opponents and everyone else. And if they're going to be a tournament team, it will reveal itself right now.
True Henderson's coming back tonight. Great defender. This is the type of team that you don't want to face when you have the emotional highs, the court storming against your biggest rival in Duke. You hop on a plane a couple days later and you play a tough-as-nails defensive team.

Chapter 6: How do the hosts feel about the upcoming Super Bowl and its impact on the Miami Heat?
These terrible, these truly terrible teams can't win on the road. And the circumstances that you had last night is... Utah, the stat from Amin is amazing. Three years ago, worst defense in league history. Topped two years ago by them having the worst defense in league history. Topped this year by this being the worst defensive team in the league.
Last night was their seventh road win.
They sit their starters in the fourth quarter. Their coach is not trying to win. Like, they're actively ā they are ā Sacramento and Washington are trying. Like, they're trying to win. Utah's not trying to win. They're the only team in the league, the only one, that you could point to and say they're doing this. They're in the fourth quarter. When they have a lead, they sit their best guy.
Yeah, that was obvious tanking. Now, Bam didn't use the word tanking. He said trying to lose. Same thing. What interests me about that is that that's usually unspoken among players. Players very rarely say tanking out loud. That's a media thing. But coaches and players hardly say it. That's an Adam Silver problem, though, because when you do what they did in the fourth quarter, it's so blatant.
So blatant. He'll fix it. He'll get to the bottom of it. Sewing needle.
Would you rather be Utah or Miami? It's amazing. That starting five, I mean, if they're fully healthy, the Jazz starting five is going to be fun. Well, they've got so many picks. You see, Utah had a vision, and they stuck to it.
Yep, lose for a decade.
And now they're well-positioned. Just like the current NBA champion. How did they get good? By being terrible for a really long time. Miami just held still. You're going to have so much fun with that. I don't even know how you show your face around here, given what we've seen out of Miami. Jack shit over there. I don't know what you're talking about. It's P's and C's, bro.
The Super Bowl meant we didn't even have to talk about the Miami Heat blowing a 20-point lead against Boston.

Chapter 7: What are the discussions around the Hall of Fame voting process?
They don't let any players stick around long enough for you to actually grow attached to them. The only connection point that Marlins fans have to that team, they don't even have the same name.
Would you be in favor of them changing it back to Florida Marlins?
Yes, I'd be. Make them teal. Make them the Florida Marlins. Let me get some kind of nostalgia connection to this team. And it does feel different when I see them wearing that. I'm like, yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I don't have any kind of connection to the new stuff.
There is a reason why they have specifically Marlins on the front there and not Miami. And it is to tie it back to the nostalgia that you're used to of seeing Marlins. And that's been the name the whole way through, whether it's Florida Marlins, whether it's Miami Marlins. They're the Marlins franchise. And bringing back the Teal, they are trying to sort of harken back to their history.
They had the Marlins Legends Hall of Fame open last year. This year, it's D-Train and Beckett being added.
It's a great crowd to honor Leland last year. Remember, it was about 100 people.
See, this is the problem with the Marlins, though. They're using the past as a crutch. The Dolphins do the same thing a little bit. Miami supports winners. If you're the Marlins, the teal uniforms are nice. They're going to please a lot of kids who go to the game, maybe. No, it's pleasing our age.
It's pleasing the people who buy tickets.
Eye on the ball, okay? You let Jeremy do what you didn't want to let him do. He went to Marlins and you stayed here because he hypnotized you with the throwback uniform. Eye on the ball, okay?

Chapter 8: How do the hosts conclude their thoughts on the state of Miami sports?
Dan, you know people who... I know people who don't eat the crust on pizza. You know people who pull... Off the crust on the pizza?
The top of the crust. That they don't like the thick, the bready crust that doesn't have the cheese on it. Not the entirety of the crust.
Right, but they pull it off and then they just like hold the other part and eat the other part? Yeah, that's barbaric.
You've never seen a pizza box filled with crust because people do that? Yeah, but they eat it after, right?
Right. They eat a whole pizza and then you leave the crust.
A good piece of pizza.
Why are they ganging up on us? This is our experience.
Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Do you trust people? Or how should I phrase this? Because you're saying people don't do it, and I'm saying I do know people who do not eat the top end of crust of pizza. No, that's not what you said, though.
Do they rip it off before they eat the regular slice?
