Local Hour: Keep Your Powder Dry

06 Feb 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What is Ryen Russillo's Instagram story about?

0.031 - 5.746 Mike Ryan

Yo, you see Ryan Russillo's Instagram story? I'm not on Instagram.

0

6.37 - 9.623 Zaslow

You want me to show you? I'm curious.

0

9.924 - 30.439 Mike Ryan

What what is it about? I all the time people are sending me Instagram stories or information. And any time I click on it, it says I have to download the app. I rarely not always, but I rarely get to just get the Instagram story the way that you get it. So I don't know what you're talking about.

0

30.72 - 31.962 Stugatz

Oh, you want to download the app?

0

33.427 - 38.339 Mike Ryan

Are you going to tell people or are you just going to keep it in the shadows during the shadow show?

38.359 - 48.162 Stugatz

I do like the idea of not saying it and people going right now and learning for themselves. Given what I know about your algo. Oh, it's my algo, baby. You're like, why is Rossello popping up?

48.968 - 55.278 Mike Ryan

So you're not going to tell people? You're just going to tease them? You're not going to tell me? You're just going to tease me? You're not going to tell me what it is?

55.298 - 70.043 Stugatz

I like the surprise. For people listening, you go and you see for yourself. And then you're like, whoa, I'm so grateful that Zaslow told me to do that. You should not do it at work, listener. Really? And do it quick because it'll probably be deleted soon. What time did he do it?

70.083 - 73.932 Mike Ryan

Local? Was he out in the middle?

Chapter 2: How heated is the rivalry between the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning?

189.468 - 192.751 Stugatz

Yeah, it was a great sound a week ago. All right, Zazz, show Dan.

0

193.652 - 202.628 Unknown

There it is. No! This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.

0

206.943 - 237.668 Mike Ryan

Basilewski. Again, I thought that they were dead. I thought that the haunted remains or the haunting remains of the Lightning were done. They're 19-1-1 in their last 21 games. And the question I wanted to pose to you guys before we get to Giannis' talk and just how unreasonably mad Zaz and Jeremy are at Giannis, like unreasonably mad, I want to present to you guys as a serious question.

0

238.036 - 255.403 Mike Ryan

I know there are rivalries all throughout sports that have a ton more history than the recent one at the top of hockey. I can't believe I'm saying that, but Tampa and Florida at the top of hockey. But go ahead and name all the teams that hate each other more than these two teams hate each other.

0

255.383 - 271.089 Mike Ryan

I know you've got rivalries and fan bases and everything else, but not every time they get together they want to fight and the penalty minutes are out of control and the refs can't control anything and you get into one of these situations where the ref is stumbling all over himself trying to say all the penalties.

271.109 - 300.662 Unknown

He can't do it because there are too many of them. More to penalty. Number 77 and number 19. Both guys have two minutes for interference. Number 23, number 9, and number 6 have a 10-minute misconduct. And Florida, number 42, has five minutes for fighting and a game misconduct for the secondary altercation. And number 19 has five minutes for fighting and a game misconduct. Sorry.

300.642 - 315.462 Unknown

No game misconduct to number 19. Tampa penalties, number 95 in a game for fighting. Number 38 has five minutes for fighting. And number 86, 37, and 59 have a 10-minute misconduct.

316.69 - 340.133 Dan Le Batard

Those two officials, Garrett Rank and TJ Luxmore, are the worst in the National Hockey League. And they followed the Panthers. They did the Panthers game versus Boston on Wednesday. They followed them to Tampa. Both games were terrible, and it was a shit show last night.

340.113 - 349.927 Stugatz

I don't understand why they had such a hard time with sorting out the penalties. Dan, I mean, I didn't look at the clock, but my guess was it was probably about a 20-minute delay.

Chapter 3: What star players did the Miami Heat miss out on acquiring?

691.405 - 700.695 Stugatz

Thank you. All the front porches have lightning flags. That is a hockey town first and foremost. It's crazy because they've won two Super Bowls. Tom Brady won one very recently.

0

701.075 - 715.15 Mike Ryan

The hatred, though. Give me players who hate each other. Memphis and the Lakers were doing it a little bit there for a minute when Shannon Sharp was coming off of the sidelines. But that seems to be a bygone age. The players hating each other on opposing teams.

0

715.17 - 717.513 Stugatz

Memphis and Golden State in the NBA hate each other. hated each other.

0

717.533 - 736.922 Mike Ryan

Yes, that's a good one. Those were good. But none of those end up in fights, right? And if they did back then, you would have had Dylan Brooks and Draymond Green, people who have these reputations. I'm not sure the Panthers, I mean, Kachuk's got some of this, but I'm not sure the Panthers have reputation of being hated and wanting to fight everybody.

0

736.982 - 743.952 Mike Ryan

They're irritants, and they play a style of hockey that bothers people, but I don't know that everybody wants to be fighting the Panthers.

743.932 - 750.869 Stugatz

Gustav Forsling is not that kind of guy. I've never seen him like that. And he was on the ice just delivering body blow after body blow.

750.989 - 753.635 Dan Le Batard

He did not want to fight. He was actually fitting off... He's not a fighter.

753.655 - 758.587 Stugatz

He was getting punched with a glove on for like 30 straight seconds, it felt like. Yeah, and then he finally... And then he like spazzed out.

758.607 - 759.73 Chris Cody

He's like...

Chapter 4: Why are fans upset with the Heat's management decisions?

1001.617 - 1005.942 Stugatz

Dan Levatard. My algorithm on Instagram is dance all boobs.

0

1008.224 - 1014.07 Unknown

Stugatz. It's a good algorithm. This is the Dan Levatard Show with the Stugatz.

0

1016.699 - 1046.682 Mike Ryan

Okay, well that's what the reporting is and I want to cover some of this with you guys. So here is in terms of what it is that the Heat front office faces in terms of what I believe is fair criticism. When they have missed, the players are named Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, Bradley Beal, Damian Lillard, Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, DeMar DeRozan, Ja Morant.

0

1046.942 - 1049.005 Stugatz

Have any of them won anything since they missed?

0

1049.025 - 1052.39 Mike Ryan

Well, hold on a second. Let Dan cook. Hold on a second, defensive guy.

1052.41 - 1055.334 Stugatz

Before you start propagandizing. Jumping right in there. I'm just saying.

1056.115 - 1062.805 Mike Ryan

I know, but we could have waited for you to just say it a little bit later once I got it off the ground. Learn from my mistakes. My God.

1062.785 - 1085.981 Mike Ryan

I'm going to say it again because there are a lot of things here and contracts here and injuries here that if the Heat got stuck with Westbrook, if they got stuck with Beal, if they got stuck with Lillard, I think Heat fans wouldn't be happy with those contracts and those players. If they got Kyrie Irving... I think they'd be happy. Kevin Durant, I think they'd be happy.

1086.182 - 1104.122 Mike Ryan

Donovan Mitchell, I think they'd be happy. James Harden, I think they'd be happy because he plays all the time. Chris Paul, oddly enough, I think they would be happy. DeRozan, meh. But right in the middle, and John Morant, I just heard you guys say, like, this is one of the big stunners of my sports lifetime.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the Heat's strategy to keep their assets?

1389.468 - 1396.724 Stugatz

All of a sudden, we're telling people put water in a fire. They have a grease fire. No, it gets worse. It gets worse. You guys are having a different conversation.

0

1396.825 - 1401.335 Mike Ryan

Well, we're having a conversation about a grease fire instead of a regular fire.

0

1401.615 - 1405.384 Stugatz

You just felt like doing a PSA? The conversation is advanced. Smokey the bear.

0

1406.258 - 1417.881 Mike Ryan

Look, somebody's going to be thanking us later in life if they get a grease fire. And in that moment of great panic, they're like, wait a minute. I remember Roy saying, don't throw water on this. It'll make it worse.

0

1418.021 - 1428.722 Stugatz

Use baking soda. I have a fire extinguisher. You don't want to do water in the kitchen. You ever think about getting that blanket that they advertise, like that infomercial? I have thought about it. Yeah, I have thought about it.

1428.702 - 1430.965 Mike Ryan

That's all you guys have done is thought about it?

1431.186 - 1431.807 Stugatz

Yeah.

1431.987 - 1442.883 Mike Ryan

I haven't purchased it. So basically all you've done is watched a commercial. Now we're all going to get that ad. I'm just answering the questions. Algorithm. Well, this bothers me. Are we going to get that ad?

1442.903 - 1443.223 Stugatz

We are.

Chapter 6: How do recent trades impact the Miami Heat's future?

1688.101 - 1695.494 Stugatz

I'm only upset right now that I don't get to do this in person, Paul Pierce. How disappointed is it to be a Miami fan right now?

0

1695.514 - 1696.235 Unknown

Stugatz.

0

1696.615 - 1698.799 Stugatz

Brother, actually, you make a really great point.

0

1698.939 - 1702.485 Unknown

This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stugatz.

0

1713.839 - 1742.869 Mike Ryan

Okay, I'm going to need you to just basically calm down and just... Go and cool off and take care of yourself because you're not necessarily being unreasonable, but you're very, very emotional. The dog and pony show needs to be extinct, right? I know there's a Westminster dog show, but those don't have ponies. There's no such thing anymore as a dog and pony show, right?

1742.889 - 1751.743 Mike Ryan

That's no longer something that you can go anywhere in the world and see a dog and pony show, correct? There are places. Amsterdam.

1751.763 - 1752.605 Dan Le Batard

Guadalajara.

1752.625 - 1761.828 Mike Ryan

Do you know that the Miami Heat, Mike, Barry Jackson has put this out to the anger that you guys are talking about. They have 10 commandments. You guys aren't going to like them.

1761.968 - 1762.91 Stugatz

What did they tell him to say?

Chapter 7: What does the discussion reveal about player rivalries in sports?

1966.181 - 1966.822 Mike Ryan

James Harden.

0

1967.362 - 1971.666 Stugatz

I think it certainly would have helped. We were talking about Tyler Hero for James Harden.

0

1971.686 - 1973.428 Mike Ryan

Wait a minute, Zaz doesn't agree with that one either.

0

1973.548 - 1980.555 Stugatz

Yeah, I'm a no on that one. For Hero? They play the same amount of defense. I'm not the biggest James Harden fan, but I think he's better than Tyler Hero.

0

1980.575 - 1992.55 Mike Ryan

Wait a minute, I'm not getting any consensus on some I thought were easy. Durant I'm going to get consensus on. You both wanted Durant, correct? Durant 3X. Yeah. Three times. Any of the times. Any of the times. Donovan Mitchell? Yeah.

1992.731 - 2005.613 Stugatz

Yeah. Clearly. I was a no at the time, but that was obviously wrong. Russell Westbrook? He ended up being an all-star for Houston that year. That would have been fun. The year that Russell Westbrook, he had one great year left in him, and he ended up having that.

2005.633 - 2007.857 Mike Ryan

That's a hard no for me on Russell Westbrook.

2007.977 - 2010.581 Stugatz

Yeah, I'm a no. All right. I do believe he was an all-star that year.

2010.722 - 2030.292 Mike Ryan

DeRozan? No. I think DeRozan could have helped. I'm with Dan. Meh. He could have helped. And then Ja Morant. No. Ja Morant cheap. For Jaime Jaquez. Ja Morant cheap interests me. It's not just Jaquez. It's Jaquez, a first-round pick, and that Rozier contract has value and gives you flexibility in the offseason.

Chapter 8: What are the key commandments guiding the Miami Heat's management?

2264.945 - 2272.684 Stugatz

Not that tough. This is happening to me. Linoleum got me one time bad. This was 10 years ago, and I've never made a mistake since. But linoleum, whoo!

0

2273.526 - 2277.957 Mike Ryan

Go ahead and play Coca. Nobody dig up that tape. Coca again on nothing personal.

0

2278.004 - 2291.851 Zaslow

Social media has done this, right? And YouTube does this and Twitter and Instagram and TikTok. It's it in sense of in sense, geez, in sense of you got this. No, I lost it right there. I watched it.

0

2291.871 - 2293.213 Jeremy

And now my guess is I can't finish.

0

2293.274 - 2296.62 Zaslow

Yeah, no, I can. I can finish it. Incentivizes stealing.

2299.115 - 2317.147 Stugatz

I was in the room yesterday when Chris is doing this, and it's not even like when he screws up the word. It really took me aback. It's not even like when he screws up the word, then he then starts over. No, no. He's laying down, like, multiple tracks. It's called a pickup. And then sends it in, and it's really just like the person on the other end of the piece it together.

2317.167 - 2343.729 Mike Ryan

No, I feel better. When I heard you doing that, I felt bad at the amount of editing that that was going to require. Regardless, play the sound of me stumbling short-circuiting on the word matriculate. Matriculate the ball down the field. That is unbelievable. That is a scratched record is what that is. Do you have the sound or are you having difficulty finding the sound?

2343.749 - 2351.464 Zaslow

First, I want to find the one I did yesterday because I don't think you guys are overselling how bad it was. But no, I have you do a matriculate. We are efforting to find me messing up the Sheets and Giggles reads.

2351.444 - 2361.539 Mike Ryan

You were in another room and we were watching you and you didn't know that we were watching you and you were just, you were cursing at yourself because you were struggling so much to read it.
