29 May 2026
Chapter 1: What surprising event is Zaslow considering for his wife?
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Oh, we did it, everyone. We made it to Friday. Give it up for Friday. Give it up for Friday. Look at this crew we have here today. We have Roy and Jeremy and Tony and Trista and Juju. I don't know if this crew's worked together before. And out west, of course, we have Dave Damoshek. Hello, Dave. How are you this morning?
what's happening miami what's happening america i'm ready to roll we only have at most i think 16 total games left between the nba playoffs and the stanley cup then we enter the abyss of just baseball season but i in the pre-show little discussion there i'm picking up that you guys are not getting bogged down with those playoffs so much as you are
the eternal chase for Miami and the Heat to get a little bit better. Can they add Giannis? Can they add LeBron? Can they add both?
Look at you.
Fascinating discussion this morning.
Look at you.
I'm tuned in to what you guys are talking about. That's right. Before we get to all that good stuff, and of course last night you had the San Antonio Spurs force a Game 7. We're getting a Game 7. Has this even been a good series? I don't even know for sure. But I do want to start asking you here, so...
Tonight, tonight here locally, all right, in Palm Beach, is the first of two nights that Dave Matthews' band is playing tonight here in West Palm. And I know, I think we talked about this like a week ago, right? My wife, they're my wife's favorite, and we used to go every year to go see Dave Matthews' band. We haven't gone in, I don't know, maybe like two or three years at this point.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of Mike McDaniel's coaching changes?
Of course, alley-oop. Go ahead.
Go ahead. Do it. Alleyoopshow.com. We're also on the Levitar Network on YouTube on Fridays, Tuesdays and Fridays. We also have Good Follow every Thursday. We're talking about all the basketball, women's and men's. Dave, can you just clue in for a second? Okay, just clue in a little bit.
Listen, I love it. It's like we say, we have a lot of real estate in front of us as soon as these two playoffs are over.
You said there was no real estate. You said it wouldn't be a miss. I know.
But you know what? Like the late, great Jerry Orbach says at the end of Dirty Dancing, when I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong, and I am amending my previous remarks here. He was right, though. I'm with you. Also, on Football America, if we're talking about this sort of thing, here's what my focus is going to be on. Sure, WNBA and World Cup and all the rest of it, but also... Burt Breer.
I mentioned baseball at the very top there, Tashie. But, right, listen, Football America, we're talking with Burt Breer from Sports Illustrated, and we go back and forth on, and he leads me to believe that Miles Garrett is not going to be a Cleveland Brown. That's all I'm going to say.
Okay, that's a good tease.
You have to listen to Football America coming up today.
Tony, have you ever done anything like that before for the wife? I'm sure I've done a lot of great things, incredible things. Just ask her. I don't remember right off the top. Oh, you know what? No, I would know. I just remembered. Gave us the old neck scratch. Our second Valentine's Day, me and my wife are high school sweethearts, so we've been together for 17 years.

Chapter 3: How does Mario Chalmers view his role in the Miami Heat's success?
How about that? I think she was crying because she thought she was going to be in Paris or something.
Or she's petrified. What did you bring me to the edge of death for? Yeah.
Well, she didn't know it was the edge of death. She had no idea. She just knew that we were going up and down on a ladder, so she had no idea. So, I don't know. Should I do this?
Yes, of course. It could also backfire where... What if I do it and I explain... Like, it's Friday. It's the end of the week. Normally, on a Friday end of the week, you come home from the long work week. She works hard. You come home from the long work week. It's like, I can't wait to just... crawl into bed and watch my shows and relax.
And I say to her, no, no, we're getting in the car and we're driving to West Palm beach and we're going to a concert. Like the worst case there is I do that. And she's just like, she's tired and she doesn't want to do it. You know? Like, so that, that part worries me a little bit, Tony.
That's why you've got to go and plant the seeds a little bit ahead. Have you planted the seeds yet or not? A little bit.
This could backfire. We were workshopping behind and Jeremy didn't think so. He's like, in what scenario for you?
Jeremy comes off as like he loves romance. He doesn't believe that it could backfire in any way.
And I said, it could absolutely backfire.

Chapter 4: What are the potential consequences of Tua's performance for Dolphins fans?
And he goes, when could it backfire to you? And I go, I'm on my period. I've got cramps or I'm right there. I've got a headache. I don't want to leave. I want a heat pack on my stomach. I don't want to leave anywhere.
Here's also the thing at our age, okay? I'm 45 years old. My wife is several years older than me. I would never give out her exact age.
She'd be very upset about that. Good for you.
Good for you. And here's the thing, like, at our age, and Dave, you can understand this, right? If you're going to a concert, you have to mentally prepare that. Definitely. Like, at the start of your day, when you wake up, you have to mentally prepare for what this day is about, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, you do. And I wonder if you then have to figure out what stuff you're going to bring along with it to enhance the potential experience. Like, do you have to bring... Like mushrooms? Well, I mean, yeah.
It is Dave Matthews Band.
I was thinking... Yeah. I mean, you do want to take to get her in the mood a little bit. But listen, the big picture is it wasn't even last year, but the year before I went to both of my sons.

Chapter 5: How do fans react to Mike McDaniel's success elsewhere?
And this is just this isn't meant to be sexist. It's just about go on. Their interests are my two sons like baseball and the girls do not. And so I went to their respective schools. I picked them up. I said, I got to talk to you. Oh, your dad's here. They come out. Yeah. What's going on? Like
we're going to chavez ravine i mean they flip for it yeah greatest to pull them out of school yeah i get you it's a little bit different different station in life and there is a chance that she is exhausted right by toiling for the man all week i hear you i like the spirit of it i think she'll appreciate it i think it's worth it to take the shot how much are the tickets
Okay, concert tickets are super expensive. But what are the cheapest tickets?
Chapter 6: What are the concerns surrounding Tua's future with the Dolphins?
Well, that's not what we would be doing.
I understand that.
Cheapest tickets, what are we talking about? If we go, we're going to sit right up front. We're going to sit close. So if I want to do that, we're talking probably something like $400 or $500. Yeah, that is expensive. Because I was going to say, you get the cheapest ticket. Hold on. You get a cheaper ticket. You enjoy a little night out on the lawn. Right. And at an amphitheater.
And and if the answer is, oh, I don't know. I don't. You know, honey, it's OK. Let me curate a night for us at home. You got a backup plan. And now the romantic gesture of I wanted to treat you to something that was yours. But I've also. Right. So the backup plan is I watch Canadians and hurricanes. That's that's the backup plan tonight. Cool. Good. Or a powerful lovemaking. What about that?
Don't think of Cody, though.
That sounds like pound town.
A vigorous lovemaking session. Jeremy, you were not here yesterday. Yeah, it's probably a day not to be here. Jeremy, you weren't here yesterday, so you know what? You have some observations from yesterday? I do. I was listening to the show and thinking of some stuff.

Chapter 7: How does the discussion of player contracts affect team dynamics?
Just from the top, cool to find out how Dan feels about Stu. That was fun.
Yeah, that was fun.
Did the audience appreciate that? I think so. Sure seemed like it. I think from what I saw, because I see some stuff. I think from what I saw that a lot of the audience appreciated a little bit of what's going on there. Yeah, I think it was nice to have a little bit of information. Nice for me, personally.
Yeah, by the way.
I haven't heard any of that. Yeah, by the way, when we say something like that, it's not that, hey, you know, you're now tuned in a little bit to the things that we know. No. I don't think that's the case at all. Didn't know any of it. Right. Really liked Greg's follow-ups, by the way. Cool that he's a journalist. Oh, well, I mean, he's... Well done. Pepper and him were close.
Also, you know, Dan's tone might have sucked, but it was, you know, his overall point on the Jackson Dark stuff was interesting. I think everyone that I know that watches our show considers Greg the star. Yeah.
I was very surprised by your wife's opinion there. Really? We need an update on that, by the way.
We said the word cuck 14 times. A lot. A lot. By the way, for everyone out there who keeps tweeting me the picture, yes, I have seen the picture of the shower cuck. I was going to. Why did they send that? I was going to send you that.

Chapter 8: What are the overall sentiments towards the Miami Heat's management decisions?
But why do you, Zazz? The caquarium, apparently. I was going to send it to you and then saw your tweet saying that you'd seen it before I could even send it to you. I've seen it, everyone. I've seen the caquarium, all right? Tony, you know that moment at a party or a tailgate where everything just sort of clicks?
I know it well. It's usually when I show up, everybody goes crazy.
Yeah, you usually take all the credit for it, but it's because Tony usually walks in with Cuervo. I walk in like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cuervo is a thing that turns hanging out into this is the night. It has that effect on people. It does. You usually take the credit for it, but again, it's the Cuervo effect.
It's like that moment in a big game where everyone in the crowd just starts standing up, hooting and hollering, keep it Cuervo.
Keep it Cuervo, baby.
