Chapter 5: What is the impact of Lionel Messi's championship win on Miami's sports culture?
Eastern. See official rules at program website.
Mike, you know I have one rule to live by, right? Don't place parlays on multiple long shots. Don't say a game is won when it hasn't hit triple zero. Always drink your JƤgermeister ice cold. That's the rule. Everything else is merely a suggestion. Everything else? Everything else. Wearing clean underwear every day? Well, that's just a personal decision. Brushing your teeth?
Obviously smart, but not a rule.
Never pee-pee on an electric fence.
Chapter 6: How does the committee's decision-making process affect Notre Dame and Miami?
Okay, maybe there are two rules, but the one that is 100% that I insist on completely, Jagermeister must be drank ice cold. Or don't drink it at all. Damn, that's cold.
Exactly. You're finally starting to get it. Drink responsibly. Jagermeister liqueur, 35% alcohol by volume, imported by Mass Jagermeister U.S., White Plains, New York.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the new playoff system for college football?
What a weekend. Panthers, they got it going again. Incredible 6-7 win. You know about that 6-7 win on 6-7 day? All too well. Come on. Enter Miami. They win the college football. They win the MLS Cup. They did win that. They're in the college football playoffs. Cyclones. And Dan decides to go to New York.
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stukas Podcast.
Look at us in Miami.
Chapter 8: How does the episode conclude with thoughts on future changes in college sports?
Look at us in New York. Both spaceships up together and I legitimately, Pablo, do not know where and how to start the local hour today because I've got Inter-Miami winning a championship on one hand and I've got Notre Dame screaming at the sky on the other hand. It's not even about Miami making the playoffs as much as it is about Notre Dame whimpering, rightly whimpering, and
I genuinely feel bad for them, and I didn't think there was a circumstance under which I could feel bad for Notre Dame.
You're also wearing like three layers of clothing right now.
It's unbelievably cold here. I hate it. How is it back in Miami? How is everybody back in Miami? I want to feel Miami out here, the warmth of Miami. I want to feel it up here in New York. Let me feel it.
Oh, my God. What a weekend. What a weekend. Of all the dramatic things, the Miami Hurricanes. That's what I'm talking about, Dan.
We're not going to talk about the Kings game.
No, we'll leave that alone. I was stunned that Zaslow started with the Panthers game, a 7-6 win. Oh, you know about that 6-7?
Come on now, Dan. Come on. 6-7.
I am having ā let's start with Inter-Miami for a second here before we get to what everybody wants listening to this, which is the college football Miami-Notre Dame stuff. But this is Lionel Messi's 43rd title, and I'm legitimately having a difficult time finding out where to put it on his resume.
