What thoughtful gift did David give to his colleagues?
All right, kicking things off with Smirnoff, the official vodka sponsor of the NFL and the number one vodka in the world. Chris Cody, you're here. Smirnoff! Wow, you're on the money with Smirnoff.
Smirnoff!
Chris, you know what goes great with Smirnoff? Smirnoff! Yes, but I'm really talking about the game day fit. The style's got to match the vibe. Smirnoff! All right, here's the deal. Game day is everything. And that's exactly why your fit has to match the occasion. Smirnoff! Starting this December, Smirnoff is giving fans 21 and over the chance to score limited edition Smirnoff commission merchandise from some of today's top creators, including Kayla Jones, Gavin Matthew, and Alaylee May. Smirnoff! Here's the kicker. One lucky fan will take home the grand prize, a trip to the biggest game of the offseason. Plus, one fan will win a Lely Mays one-of-one game day jacket. Wow. The merch will be dropped on select dates from December to January 21, and it's all courtesy of what brand?
Me.

Dentek wants to prevent teeth grinding and has raised the fantasy stakes with a once-in-a-lifetime punishment.

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 Jägermeister 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.
How does David cope with personal challenges while working?
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. This episode of the Dan Lebitard Show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
David Sampson somehow, and I don't really understand how he's doing this, and I'm about to ask him why he's doing it, continues to trudge through and do nothing personal every day because he has a special relationship with his audience. He appreciates his audience. I assume that's a big part of the answer. But what he's going through at home is... is true horror, and I won't delve into too many of the details here. You can catch up on nothing personal if you want to know. But one of the details I did want to ask him about is someone who cares about him and knows about him because he's got a sick child daughter in the hospital. is he seems particularly ill-equipped to be trapped in a hospital as someone who likes his control and, you know, is a bit of a control freak.
And he's in a situation that leaves him pretty powerless. So, David, thank you for joining us. And before we get to the sports of the day, why are you still working at a time that it must be very, very hard to work?
Well, I'm only doing three shows this week and I did, I took two weeks after this happened and I wanted to get back because I missed the audience.
