Chapter 2: How do personal experiences influence sports discussions?
What is the latest on Jordan Hudson? And if you don't know that name, she is the young girlfriend of Bill Belichick. There is a sports book that is taking bets on whether or not one of two things happens first. She sues Pablo Torre, who they are calling Pablo Torres.
She wins the lawsuit. against Pablo Torres, Reuben Baines.
Or she gets pregnant.
Right now, the odds are minus 300 for that, plus 200 to be Pablo Torres.
Okay, so that is the predictions market that Trump kids are dominating. We will get to that and other things with David Sampson. We miss David Sampson around here. Nothing personal is the name of the podcast. If you want to see him covering terrain, as I've told you before, that not a lot of people in sports are able to cover...
But to answer your initial question about Jordan, she submitted a Freedom of Information Act request against her school's top comms officer, I guess alluding to the fact that she may suspect he's behind the 60 Minutes leak.
So you've got David Sampson smiling maniacally there. I haven't seen David Sampson do a lot of smiling lately. What can you tell us about, in general, what you see happening all around Jordan Hudson?
I want her to sue Pablo so badly. Not because I want you to be a part of it, because certainly Metal Ark would be named. You'd likely be personally named. Amin may be named. I may be named. I mean, Jeremy for sure should be named. It would be so... Yes, you, Jeremy.
I don't want her to sue us.

Chapter 3: What is the latest controversy surrounding Jordan Hudson?
We're going to put you on the IL and we're going to say you've got arm soreness. Now, players and agents don't like when we would make up shoulder soreness because that could impact their free agency in later years saying, oh, you had a sore shoulder, bad shoulder. So we would say arm soreness. Sometimes we would say non-pitching arm soreness. That's funny, right? Where does that get sore from?
And you're just doing it because you don't want the player in your rotation anymore because he just stinks. And you hope that sending him to Florida will somehow make him better. But Giannis all of a sudden with a calf injury right after all this goes down. Give me a break. Really?
You want another break? Are you accusing him of faking that?
I'm accusing Giannis of simply manipulating Milwaukeeans and our emotions to the benefit of him when he doesn't need any more benefits.
Are you accusing him of faking it? If you're asking him to give you a break because he's left the game with a non-contact injury, are you accusing him of faking it?
I didn't see a roll, Dan, did you? When the Achilles tears, you get a roll. For a calf strain, don't sit on the court. Get yourself over to the bench, and you're fine. Answer the question. Yes. It's too coincidental. There's no way that Giannis, they're going through all this. Doc Rivers has to fly and jump through ridiculous oral hoops trying to explain what's happening.
And then all of a sudden he's not playing. What is he, Jimmy Butler?
Faking an injury, by the way, Dan, means Giannis doesn't have to talk postgame, which means he doesn't get asked about the rumors. Whoa.
Tell me the next time Giannis talks to the media. When you're on the injured list and not playing, you are not responsible by rule to speak to the media, nor is the team responsible to give updates about that player to the media. You can completely ignore all inquiries.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of Giannis's potential trade?
I got it wrong. I'm not. You're nailing it.
No, you're getting it. You're getting everything right. But Jonathan Zaslow claims that he said very clearly and claims that the sound here vindicates him that he said Buck's soul. Jimmy Butler in the heat took the Buck's soul. Well, you skipped an S, Zazz. No, no. I think every time that it's played, I'm vindicated further. No.
Well, now you're just being bitty, but that's funny. That's good for what you're doing in the show. So proud of you each day showing up and saying that, but it just makes you sound stupid. He took the bottle. But maybe that's good. Keep going. Little pregnant pause. He took the buckle. You need two S's, buddy. Bucks sold. He took the buckle.
You love the movies, and we're going to review some movie with you here. But before we do that, I saw that November's box office at the movies was a complete disaster. All 14 of the movies were box office flops. Sidney Sweeney has now had four straight flops. Nicolas Cage is in a movie where he plays Jesus' dad. It cost $10 million to make. It brought in $143,000. Stop.
I thought Jesus' dad was God. Did I have that wrong?
It's Nicolas Cage. That was Joseph. It's Nicolas Cage. I know you're an Old Testament guy. I'm with you, David. But he took a movie part. Nicolas Cage will do just about anything. He's kind of like Kevin Hart that way. And Nicolas Cage had a $10 million movie where he's playing Jesus' dad, and it made $143,000.
at the box office and and and you think what of what is happening with the movie theaters because uh november was an all-time bad month for the movie did he wear like long gray hair yeah what does it mean what's the plot of the movie it was a teenage jesus it was not baby billy it was not It was not Baby Billy from Righteous Gemstones, but he's the father of Jesus. We can leave it at that.
It did not do well, but it was a historically bad month for movies. While you say that, though, I think Zootopia was like a top four opening weekend of all time.
I dragged my daughter to see that. I was going to do the same this weekend. Is it worth seeing, Zootopia? Do you have to have seen the first one to see the second one? I love the first one.

Dan Levitard. Tatas. Stugatz. Tatas. This is the Dan Levitard Show with the Stugatz. I'm out on the reclining movie seat. Yeah. Like, just give me the old school seat. Give me the old school seat. Why would you be out on the reclining? Because I fall asleep. But you have the option of either one. But I don't want the option because I'm going to take it. I don't go full because I know I'm out.
So what I try to do is like the halfway where the feet are up a little, but you're not really reclining back. No, you need to be a little bit uncomfortable so you don't fall asleep.
