Stay White For Wade Jones (w/ Stugotz and Hochman) · Stugotz and Company

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: With Stu Gatz and Hockman.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, look at you and your heat garb.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is sports equinox time. Yes, this is
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: the craziest time of year where you've got NBA underway. Yeah,
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: you've got MLB still going on because of the World Series. Yes,
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: you've got College football, pro football, professional hockey. You've got
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: MLS soccer. You've got the Euros going on. This literally
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: is sports equinox. Is there a major... sport that you'd
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: be interested in that isn't going on right now? Honestly,
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: does one exist right now?
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Well, of the four majors, all four are going on
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: at the same time.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Baseball is wrapping up, football, college football, hockey, basketball, as
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: you stated. There is no golf that's not a major, though,
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: and I don't consider soccer and the Euros some sort
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: of major.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Well, aren't you just stuck in the 80s?
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: No, it's been since the 80s where they told me
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: about this soccer explosion.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, enough. I was in Tampa over the weekend
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: visiting my son. I went to see a Tampa Bay
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Lightning game. But I know Taylor. Taylor, I wonder a
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: couple things. The Knicks lost last night in their opener
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: to LeBron. Is Taylor smarting over that?
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: No, I'm not stressing it.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Right. They raised a banner last night.
• 1:29
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: Hawk, if there's ever a game that you want to
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: play the Philadelphia 76ers, it's not going to be game one.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: Like LeBron is going to be as fresh as ever.
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: Joel Embiid is going to be as healthy as ever.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: I'm not worried about this Knicks team until we get
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: to the playoffs.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Hawk, I've got to be honest. I've been waiting for
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: that Knicks championship my entire life.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: I'm a lot older than Taylor.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: I said I'm good for the remainder of time with
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: the Knicks, and I found myself getting upset because the
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Knicks appeared to not be ready, not be focused, and
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: not be in shape.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I knew it. People go into seasons with these visions of, hey,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: I got what I wanted, and so now everything is gravy.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: And it takes you a half of a basketball game
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: to go, fuck, what are these guys doing out there? Plus,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Philadelphia is good. Jesus. The hype is real there. If
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: that's what you're going to see all season, I don't
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: know if that's what you'll see all season. The hype
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: is real. But anyway, I was in Tampa, saw a
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: lightning game. But Taylor also, you went to school in
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: North Carolina, right? Yeah, I did.
• 2:31
  Speaker 7: So.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: There's a restaurant, there's a fast food place called Cookout,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: which I'm told is huge in the Carolina.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: It's the first time he's smiled on this show in episodes.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: You got to get the Cookout trays. They have great sides.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: The milkshakes. Oh, you would love the milkshakes.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I love a good milkshake.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: So I went.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: They opened one in Tampa. Right. This is why I
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: bring this up. So they just opened their first Cookout
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: in Tampa yesterday. And I'm into all this shit. I like,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: you know, the regional food places and when they come
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: down and whatever. You ever been to Cookout Stugatz or
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: ever heard of it?
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I've never heard of it, never been there, but you
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: are the guy.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Like, if Hawk went to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, he would find
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: the spot in Tuscaloosa.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: He would go try it. At every single college town,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: you would be that.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Guy, yes. Right. Like, people always talk about, what is it,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: in Gainesville– Where do you get the gut box? Guthrie's?
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Is that Gainesville or Tallahassee? I don't know. Every place
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: has like a regional spot. But I've been reading about
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: cookout in the Carolinas forever because that's my wheelhouse. They
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: opened one in Tampa literally a week and a half ago.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: So I had said to my son and my wife
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: who was coming with me on Sunday. It was our
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: 29th wedding anniversary. I said, well, let's go to cookout.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: and celebrate 29 years with a fast food burger. Yeah,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: way to spoil her.
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: Oh, I do.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Listen, you've got to set parameters early on. And if
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: you break out of those parameters, that's your fault. I
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: have to tell you, Taylor, I was wildly disappointed.
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: What was disappointing about the experience?
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: I thought it was very ordinary. I didn't think there
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: was any compelling reason to return. They're located in Tampa
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: on the same road. It's near USF. It's on the
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: same road as a Portillo's, which I love from Chicago.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: There's nothing better than a beef sandwich at Portillo's and
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: their lemon cake. Same road as a Five Guys. Five Guys,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: far superior burger, I thought, than Cookout. I will tell
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: you the one thing about Cookout. People have to go
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: there because of the prices, because it is unbelievably inexpensive.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: When I tell you I felt like I was back
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: in 1994, Laurie, DJ, and I, we each get cheeseburgers.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: DJ got bacon on his burger. Of course. So you
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: got three cheeseburgers, one with bacon. We all got the
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: two sides. What do you call that box? The tray.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: The tray.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: The tray.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: You can get a single tray or a double tray,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: something like that.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: And they have weird sides at cookout. They've got quesadillas
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: as a side. Nuggets. Nuggets, cheese curds. So we each
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: got two sides. Right. I got fries and hush puppies.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Lori got onion rings and cheese curds.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: I got to tell you, I don't want my sides
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: to be an additional meal. I want them to be sides.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: I don't need chicken nuggets as an option for my side.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: No, that's such a bad take. That is such a
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: bad take. Who complains about getting chicken nuggets as a side?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: If I want chicken nuggets, I'll order chicken nuggets, the meal, okay?
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, how about that?
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: It's like an appetizer. The chicken nuggets are like an
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: appetizer for the burger on your tray.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Give me a baked potato. Give me french fries. Give
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: me onion rings. Give me onion strings. Give me onion anything.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Just don't give me chicken nuggets or quesadillas as a
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: side option.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I don't want it. I mean, you can get a
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: walking taco as a side. Terrible. Like, it's really interesting.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: And then we all three got milkshakes because their milkshakes
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: come highly. So now I got a banana fudge milkshake.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Lori got an orange push-up milkshake. DJ got, I think,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Oreo cookies and cream shake.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: So three cheeseburgers. Six sides, three milkshakes. How much do
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: you think that costs?
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say $ 72.
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: $ 35. What?! That's no joke. That's no bullshit. It was $ 35,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: which I understand why they would put them near USF
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: or near college campuses, because you literally can go in,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: get a full lunch or dinner with a milkshake for $ 10.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, does this guy splurge for an anniversary or what?
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: In the time of our lives, we were never happier.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: You told Lori it was $ 139, right?
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: I mean.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it was $ 35. I couldn't believe it.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: I literally couldn't believe it. Do you love that place, Taylor?
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it would be like my place coming back from
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: like bars. Like I wouldn't just go to cookout just
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: at night. So I guess that's the disconnect there. But Hawk,
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: I've had this experience too when I've gone back to
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Chapel Hill where I go to the restaurant where like
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: if my parents were visiting me, say a weekend in
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: Chapel Hill, I'm like, Oh, let's go to Top of
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: the Hill. Top of the Hill is our fancy high-end restaurant.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: And then since I've gone back, I order like a meal,
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: and then the bill comes, and it's like $ 40. I'm like, wow.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: I was really pushing pennies in college.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: You're on Top of the Hill. Yes. It was crazy, man.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: I could see it, though, because Cookout was open, I
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: think it said until 4 a.m. So that makes sense
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: after the bars. For $ 10, you can fill yourself up
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: and sop up some of the alcohol. That makes sense.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: But I thought the food was just ordinary. But it
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: makes sense if they're charging $ 35. for 19 items and
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: three shakes. Like, yeah, it should be like, you should
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: be complaining. Yeah. Yeah.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Not normally an anniversary dinner, but you went in with
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: heavy expectations, like high expectations, I'm assuming. So it didn't
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: meet your expectations. And I'm wondering, did you feel like
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: you wasted an opportunity? To go to Portillo's instead because
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: you like it better.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: 100%.
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because I'm only up in Tampa for a couple
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: of days. Missed opportunity. And there's a couple spots that
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: I want to go. Right. In fact, when we were
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: driving home, we drove past a Whataburger in Brandon. Now,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: there's a Whataburger in Brandon and there's a Whataburger in Largo.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: I would have gone the half hour to get the
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Whataburger in Brandon over the Cookout Burger and Shake.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: Hawk, I've had this problem too when I've gone to
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: LA where people are like, you have to go to In-N-Out.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: And I go to In-N-Out and I leave feeling disappointed
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: where if you ever went to North Carolina, I would
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: never recommend you to go to Cookout. I have other
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: restaurants that I would recommend you before, but I would say, hey,
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: maybe on your way out of town or late at night,
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: stop by Cookout. I'm not telling you like it's a
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: must-do thing.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: It's just one of those things. If you go to
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: a place, you know, to me, there's very few regional
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: places left. Everything has overexpanded. And now you've got like
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: gold belly. They'll deliver food anywhere in the country. It comes,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: you know, on dry ice. And like, it's like nothing's
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: regional anymore.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: And that to me used to make stuff special. I
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: remember when I was a kid in the seventies, you
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: could only get bubble yum in like California and Arizona. Yes.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: The only place.
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Everywhere else you had, you know, juicy fruit and and
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: whatever Wrigley was, was pumping out bubble yum existed in
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: like two States. And so if you knew a kid
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: who was taking a vacation with his family to California,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: they'd come back with these stacks of bubble yum. And
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: it was like, that doesn't exist anymore in our world.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: I look for these places like cookout that don't exist anywhere.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, Oh, they're opening one in Tampa. I
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: want to go. I want to experience all this hubbub
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: over cookout. And I just, You know, we sat there,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: we're eating the meal, we're looking at it, telling each
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: other we love her, each other, you know, because 29 years.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: I wonder how you're going to top that for 30.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, a burger and a side of quesadillas.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I told her, I said, I apologize. And for our 30th,
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: we are going to Portillo's. I'm not making this mistake again.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: A bit more expensive, but I can afford it. We'll
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: be fine. Taylor, you went to a place in Chapel Hill.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: You recommended that Reese Davis and Kirk Herbstre go to a.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Place in Chapel Hill. Did you not?
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: I saw them at a restaurant.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but it was your recommendation, I believe. We were
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: telling them the week of. Yeah, what was the restaurant?
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: Al's Burgers.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: All right, so he told them to go to Al's Burgers.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: He walks into Al's Burgers. They're at Al's Burgers. Taylor
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: doesn't know them. And he just yells out, Reese, my man!
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: What is that? What are you doing, Reese, my man?
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I froze.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: I froze in the moment.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: I could have said, like, hey, Reese, I'm Stu Gatz's producer.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: We just talked on Wednesday.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Just Reese!
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: I froze. Good-looking man.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: In person?
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: Way better looking in person.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: You couldn't have felt good. The moment man exited your mouth,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: you couldn't have felt good. Reese, my man.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: The second I said it, I was like, yeah, I
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: blew this. And I've never been prouder of him.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Anyway, so the Heat opened their season tonight. I was
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: going to play. We're going to run out of time
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: because I've got stuff to do. You've got stuff to do.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: I'll play a couple of things. I thought one of
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: the things that made the Levitard show interesting at the
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: beginning was our embrace of the Miami Heat because they
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: really weren't embraced by sports radio. Sports radio was really
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: dominated by football. That was it because that's what Joe
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Rose and Jim Mandich did. knew. They were football guys.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: So there wasn't anybody who was really... And Dan was
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: very tied in with the Heat. So I think we
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: were a bit of a revelation to sports radio as
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: to how much we embrace the Miami Heat.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: I believe, Hawk, that the Heat for many, many years
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: were on a news station.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I believe they were on WIOD. And that was odd.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: It was always odd to me because the Canes, all
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: the sports properties down here had ridiculous amount of value
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: to the sports stations down here, and yet the Heat
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: found themselves in a news station, and I think they
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: liked it at the time because they had kind of
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: had their own station, I guess.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: And the news station at that time, like, you know,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: everything wasn't so automated, so there were a lot of
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: employees and people talking and whatever, but it was odd,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: but they really were the, I don't want to say
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: the odd team out because there was some excitement, but
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: they hadn't won a championship. You know, when we launched
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: in 04, they still hadn't won a championship. They really
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: were not a marquee sports property in South Florida. They
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: just weren't. No.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: And it's interesting because even after winning that first title,
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: it was Wade, it was Shaq, they beat the Mavericks.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: They were still on WIOD when that happened.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: They were on a news.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Station when that happened. And then LeBron came down here
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: and the Heat figured, hey, we better get on a
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: sports station, you know?
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: So I thought it was interesting. I was just going
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: back and looking at stuff since the NBA opened yesterday
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: and the Heat opened today. We leaned into, you know,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: a lot of our rejoins, a lot of our big
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: opens were always funny and tongue-in-cheek. But we also tried
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: to lean into the fact that big NBA guys, big
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: names in the NBA were were on this show on
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: a consistent basis. In fact, I remember the story. Mike
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Ryan got turned on to the Levitard show because he
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: heard Jason Kidd on one afternoon.
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: And he was like, When does that happen on a
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: local radio station that an opposing player who's the best
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: player on the opposing team is just kind of chopping
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: it up with a radio show, a local radio show
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: in that market?
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: And so we did try to lean in on that.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: I thought this was interesting. This is one of the
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: rejoins where we just are kind of promoting that, hey,
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: you're going to get big name NBA stars listening to
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: this show.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: The biggest names in the NBA talk Miami Heat basketball
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: on the Dan Levitard Show.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Charles Barkley.
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: That rider did a fantastic job, and he's going to
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: keep them motivated again. I'm going to pick them to win.
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: The East this year.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: David Stern.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Dwayne Wade is one of the five best players in
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: my league.
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: True.
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: Mickey Arison has enough money to buy me and put
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: me on as a hood ornament on one of his
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: cruise ships.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Nobody has enough money to buy me. Scotty Pippen.
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: Anytime you're in a hostile environment, especially in the playoffs,
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: that the fans are going to try to ride you up.
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: That's what the game is built around. And especially when
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: you're able to get on the big stage, you know,
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: speaking of the NBA Finals, that's really what it's about.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Miami Heat talk from people who know basketball. You'll hear
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: it here in the Dan Levitard Show on Sports Talk 790,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: The Ticket.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: And it's like a departure from a lot of the
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: stuff that we used to do. But when I think
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: about it, you know, Dan was always like, you know,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: if the Mavericks were coming to town, you know, I'd say, oh,
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: I see that their radio broadcaster is, you know, I mean,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: maybe it was Mark Aguirre, you know, so he had
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: some name recognition.
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: But he wasn't a current player. Right. Dan would be like, no, no, no. Like,
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: give me the coach.
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: It was like, no, go get me David Stern.
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Give me Scottie Pippen. Yes. Get me, you know, top
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: 50 basketball players of all time. And again, to Mike
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Ryan's point, he's like listening to this local radio show
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: and all of a sudden there's. Jason Kidd on game
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: night talking to Dan.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: To Dan's credit, he wouldn't settle for just any guest.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: He was like, hey, I'm Levitard. The show is big.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: We're rating well. I don't want the coach. I want
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: the team's best player. Otherwise, I don't want a guest.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: We'll be fine. He would say that all the time.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: I remember when Monday Night Football would roll around. Every
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: week I would book Michelle Tafoya. Yes. Oh, wow. Isn't
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: that funny? Which is funny now in 2026. But I
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: would book Michelle Tafoya. She was the sideline reporter. She
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: was the easiest person to get.
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: And after like four Monday night footballs, Dan's like, you
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: think we might? We might be able to get, I
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: don't know who the hell, Michael or John. Like, do
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: you think we might be able to get someone other
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: than the sideline? Michelle Tafoya is very, uh, yes.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: I don't live there. He would get tired of most guests.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, he just would.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, here's another rejoin that I found celebrating heat,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: big men joining the show.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Uh, The best big men in Miami Heat history talk
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: on the Dan Levitard Show.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Alonzo Mourning.
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: I really feel like my best brought out the best
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: in other players. And if you weren't worth anything when
• 17:20
  Speaker 9: it came to this game, then I overpowered you and
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: I dominated you. Sometimes my emotions got the best of me.
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: It was a learning process for me throughout my whole career,
• 17:28
  Speaker 9: you know, but I wouldn't change anything.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Shaquille O'Neal.
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: What's the most embarrassed or flattered you've ever been about
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: the behavior of an A-list celebrity shocked and awed to
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: be around you?
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: Well, one time Michael Jackson was looking at my house
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: in Orlando and I went with the big round bed.
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: And he sat on the bed in his house like
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: a little kid, and he said, how much? I'll buy
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: this house right now.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Ronnie Cycli.
• 17:51
  Speaker 9: This is Ronnie Cycli, and you're listening to the.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Dan Levitard Show. The biggest men in heat history. Talk
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: to Dan Levitard and Stu Gatz on Sports Talk 790,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: The Techie.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: The Ronnie Cycli one may have been a little bit
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: of a goof there.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not certain he deserves to be in
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: the same promo as Shaquille O'Neal and Alonzo Mourney.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Do you still have beef with Alonzo Mourning? Well, no.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I have beef with Shaq. That's the guy I have
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: beef with.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: What?
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: Because I have the audacity to say Tim Duncan was
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: better than Shaq, and he sent me a DM saying
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: he's going to come down to Miami and punch me
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: in the head.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Wow. Not the guy that you want punching you in
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: the head. No.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: You remember, though, you went to a charity event with
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Alonzo Mourning. Yes, I was going to say, I'm sorry
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: to cut you off. You left out Ike Austin.
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: I mean.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh. Another great big man.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: We never had him on, though. Dan said no.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Who was the big white guy? Oh, Michael Doliak. We
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: had Doliak on.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: We had to run with Doliak, man.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: Do you want the exact DM?
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: What it said? Yeah, go ahead. Where did you say this?
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: You said this on the ESPN Levitard show?
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: I said it on the ESPN show. Taylor controls my ex-account.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: I have no idea how to get on.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: I don't know the password. So Taylor controls all of it.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: What did that DM say?
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: The DM from Shaq said, I heard your comment. What's
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: your number so I can meet you somewhere? I don't
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: take disrespect lightly, especially from a bum like you. We
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: need to have a conversation, buddy. I'll be in Miami
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: very soon.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: Now, do we know if that's a joke? Oh, no,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: he was serious. He was upset with me. I can
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: see that being on the serious tip, right?
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was serious. I said something about Tim Duncan.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: I don't know if that conversation continues. Did I try
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: to reach back to him?
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: You tried to smooth it over.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Right, and it didn't work. I know Crowder once, my
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: radio partner Crowder, I know he DM'd Dan once after
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: hearing Dan just constantly rip on him on seven. I
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: know Crowder was like, if you want to talk about
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: this in person, how about we get together sometime soon?
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Something along those lines. Yeah. And I think Dan stopped
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: criticizing him for a while. Trust me. Crowder wasn't fucking around. No,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: I know. And neither was Shaq. But you remember you
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: did a charity event with Alonzo morning and he was
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: kind of a dick.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Zoe Summergroove, yes. He was very standoffish. That's just the way.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: You know, I've had good interactions with Zoe since then.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: I remember the one you're talking about. Zoe was just
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: prickly at times.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: He was.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: He was very standoffish. And if he was in a
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: bad mood, he was in a bad mood. And Lord knows,
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: if I come stumbling across your path and you're in
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: a bad mood and I'm in all my glory thinking
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: I'm the shit, it's going to piss you off.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: So I'm sorry to Zoe.
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: A couple guys sitting around smoking cigars in Miami. Shaquille O'Neal,
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Michael Strahan, Alonzo Mourning. And they all have one thing
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: in common. Let's go kick the crap out of this
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: Stugatz guy who's been a thorn in our side for
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: 20 years. At the time, I would have taken it.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: It would have been a big story. That's a front
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: page story on the Herald right there.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Shaq beats two gods up within an inch of his life.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: We cannot celebrate the Heat opener and the NBA opening
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: season without going back in time. This is funny to me.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: We were obviously big proponents of the Miami Heat. They
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: finally win their first championship in 06. And we carry
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: the parade live. I got to ride in the parade.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: I think you did as well.
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: But we carry the parade live. Now we're back in
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: the studio when our show starts at 3 o'clock. And
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Dan is only fascinated. Instead of celebrating the Heat's first
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: championship and the parade, he is only fascinated with two
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: things that happened that day. The congresswoman calling Dwayne Wade,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: Wade Jones. It was great. And Mickey Harrison telling the
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: crowd to stay white instead of stay white hot, which
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: was their theme for the entire postseason. And this was
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: a small clip of what transpired on the show that afternoon.
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: Who would you have wanted to be less today? The
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: city councilwoman or Mickey Arison, owner of the Heat, speaking
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: to the single most diverse city in America and saying
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: the following.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: Stay white.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: That's it, period.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Stay white.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: So those are your two choices today.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: Who said the two most profoundly embarrassing syllables? Was it
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: the city councilwoman?
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: He's come. Collect it.
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: Has a will to win because his name, of course,
• 23:11
  Speaker 10: is Wade Jones. Just the silence afterward is so perfect.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: You can hear everyone looking around like, what, huh?
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: And then, of course.
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: funny man speaking to a whole lot of black folk
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: and saying.
• 23:34
  Speaker 10: Come on just just fire it up a couple of
• 23:54
  Speaker 10: times just do it a couple more times.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: I couldn't believe I remember in the studio thinking, hey,
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: aren't people listening to us today because they want to
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: celebrate the Miami Heat. It's their parade. It's their first championship.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: And Dan's just making fun of the parade. Yes, this
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: was two years into the show. And I still wasn't
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: at the point where I felt completely comfortable doing what
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: we were doing.
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: We're doing sports radio, and you feel like we should
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: be doing the sports radio thing, which is celebrate the
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: Heats championship.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Leading the celebration. Yes. Like, leading it.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: But now, Orm, with hindsight, we know that Dan made
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: the right call.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, we did. 100%. Yes. 100%. Right. And then,
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: of course, we took some calls that afternoon. Here is
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: one of them.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Will, you're on 790 The Ticket.
• 24:44
  Speaker 9: Gentlemen, I'm a Nicaraguan that's going to stay white this
• 24:47
  Speaker 9: summer for Wade Jones.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Right, you'd do that for Wade Jones. Yes, you would. Anyway,
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: are you guys excited for the heat season? I happen
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: to think this is going to be a breakout season,
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: like something that some people are sleeping on. I don't
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: know that there's a team in the East that is
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: much better than the heat. I do not believe the
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Knicks are that much better than the Heat. I'm not
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: certain there's a team in the East that's head and
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: shoulders above the Heat talent-wise. Again, did you watch the
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Sixers last night? That's a long season. That's a long season.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: Hawk, I love Hawkman, Crowder, and Solana. My least favorite
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: part of the show is heat talk. It's heat talk
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: where it's Solana, and you guys are guessing the over-unders
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: for the win totals this year, and you guys are guessing, oh,
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: the win total is 43.5, and Solana, oh, that's so disrespectful.
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: I've got them winning 45 games.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Slightly less disrespectful. So you don't think the Heat are
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: anything special? The Heat have the single best player in
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: the Eastern Conference. Name a better player in the Eastern
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Conference than Giannis.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: I can name one on the Knicks, Jalen Brunson. I
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: can name five on the Sixers.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: Stop it.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: You're telling me that if you were going to pick
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: players off any team in the East, you'd take Jalen
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Brunson over Giannis?
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: No, you wouldn't.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: I would take Jalen Brunson, but I could get behind
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: you on the honest talk where you guys start to
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: lose me and where the Miami Heat fan base always
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: loses me is, oh, now we have to watch out
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: for Pell Larson. Pell Larson all of a sudden is
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: going to take this monster leap into stardom?
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Well, that I'm not with. That's a very Solana-centric take.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: I do not take ownership of that. I hit, by
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: the way, so our show was on at 2 o'clock yesterday.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: 3 o'clock, there's a Celtics-Pistons game. So I put in
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: a parlay yesterday during the game.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Duncan Robinson over two and a half made threes. He
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: had five. I had was the other the other. Oh,
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: Paul George over 10 points. He had a great crushed it.
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Final and the final leg of the parlay was Peyton
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Pritchard under two and a half made threes. And he
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: had a chance with six seconds left. They drew up
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: a play for him to hit a three. He was
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: sitting on two. Did not make it. I hit a
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: big parlay during the show yesterday. I'll just let you
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: know because we want to wrap things up here. I
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: have a parlay working for tonight, opening night for the
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: rest of the league. I've got Matas Bouzelis over 12.5
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: points for the Bulls. Caleb Wilson over 14.5 points for
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: the Bulls. Tyler Hero, over 22.5 for the Bucs. Look
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: at you. And Giannis, over 28.5 for the Heaters. Wow, special.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: Hawk, those are great picks, but I'm still holding on
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: to my two most improved players for this season that
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: you gave us.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Had he not thrown that pick, I think that.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: He had a shot. That was his chance.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: Speaking of parlays, I just want to read you guys something,
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: a college football parlay, because I think we.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Love the losing more than we love the winning.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Okay. You're going to love this.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: I had a three-team parlay on Saturday.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: I had UCLA minus one and a half.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Check.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: I had Kentucky on the money line.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Check.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: And I had Florida State on the money line. It
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: would have paid me.
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: Over $ 7, 000.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: You're the rare South Florida fan. South Florida resident who's
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: watching those two Hail Marys and yelling out.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: This is bullshit. Just me and Gino Toretta.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, I was doing nuts on those plays.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Gino was on with us. He thought that Florida State
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: got robbed.
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: I mean.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Gino texted me something of that similar nature.
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: But that hold was absolutely a hold.
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: If you showed that video to a thousand referees, one
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: thousand out of a thousand would have called it a hold.
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: And there is no video to this moment. showing a
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: florida state receiver possessing that ball in the end.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: Zone yes but when you have a chance to uh
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: to win over seven thousand dollars you'll find a hole
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: then you will find the florida state receiver who is
• 29:19

• 29:33
  Speaker 3: I've lost the worst bet ever. And obviously, it's the

  Speaker 3: worst bet because he has to pay for a cameo

  Speaker 5: I know.

• 33:55
  Speaker 3: James Fredette. Jimmer. Yeah, I didn't know that his nickname
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: was Jimmer. I just thought his name, and I would
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: have guessed his name was Jim, not James.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, same here. That's a great question.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Daniel Gibson. Bubby. That's right. I am five for five,
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: my man. You are knocking them down. No chance you
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: know Rudy Gobert. Man. I'm just learning, looking at it.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: I'm just learning, and it makes sense. I've never heard
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: him referred to as either of these.
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: It has to be French, and the fact that he's tall,
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: I'm just going to guess the Eiffel Tower.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: The Stifle Tower. Stifle Tower, yes. That's great, but it
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: was great rationale by you. Also, the French Rejection. Yes.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Stifle Tower is as good as it gets, man.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: It's perfect. That's a great nickname, the Stifle Tower. Isaiah Hartenstein,
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: did you know that he had a nickname? Taylor does.
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: I heart.
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: No.
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: What?
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: That's what I call him.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: Not what it's listed.
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: Hmm.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: Hartenstein's monster. No, nobody calls him that. Like Frankenstein's monster.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: Hartenstein's monster.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: That's too long.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, a nickname needs to be shorter. All right. Well,
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: there you go. We got to go. Good luck to
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: the Miami Heat this season. I think they are going
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: to roll through the East and roll over your Knicks,
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: who are going to be lucky to be a sixth seed.
• 35:38

• 35:41
