You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. Listen closely. That's not just paint rolling on a wall. It's artistry. A master painter carefully applying Benjamin Moore Regal Select Eggshell with deftly executed strokes. The roller, lightly cradled in his hands, applying just the right amount of paint. It's like hearing poetry in motion. Benjamin Moore, see the love.

This is the Don Leventor Show with the Stugats Podcast. We've been doing some joking around today, but we really do have to get out of here. There are dangerous things coming this way and we should not be here today and the bans are coming and the flooding is coming and we will be getting out of here. Some of you might be disappointed that you will not be getting the full range of show today because we're just we're gonna have a mystery crate segment or we're gonna have South Beach Sessions, something that we have to do to replace an hour because we have to we do really have to get out of here. I thought the Hurley conversation was super interesting, Stu Gott, and sort of takes you inside of what

was really happening with the human being inside of there, which is you got to go listen to the Lakers. You got to go. You have to. You have to go listen to them. But it doesn't mean that you're not going there sort of kicking and screaming, even though people can't imagine $70 million. But he also told you there was a number and so the Lakers what what can be said here is whatever it is the Lakers were offering the free agent they didn't have enough they weren't offering enough to actually get him I can't imagine the Lakers not having enough money they didn't offer enough money for whatever reason you know okay I'm not again I've said it's a mom and

pop business I don't know how much money they do actually have. I don't know their finances. I know that the Buss family has made a mess of some of that stuff in fighting over their father's fortune. And if you read anything about the Lakers, you will see a really messy financial situation and 12 years where they've only been more than a seven seed one time in the last 12 years.

So they're in a desperate spot to keep the post Kobe post LeBron thing alive, but they didn't have enough to get the coach who just told you there was a number. And that guy already has a lot. He makes a lot of money. He's at UConn. He's at a place where he's comfortable, where his family wants to be, where they love to be. And you have to factor all that into the equation.

Then he's won back to back national championships at be, and you have to factor all of that into the equation. Danny's won back-to-back national championships at a time where you have Nick Saban sprinting away from college sports and other coaches going elsewhere. This guy has figured it out. He's great. He's the best in the game right now, and perhaps he was thinking, hey, I'm the king of Yukon, of Storrs, Connecticut. Everyone bows to me.

You go to the NBA, and that changes in a heartbeat and suddenly you're not the guy in control. It's LeBron James who's in control. Jessica, Lucy, what did you guys think was most interesting about what it is that Dan Hurley just had to say there? I don't like the girly Billy Joel songs either. That part was so awkward. He was.

He didn't know what to do. He got caught up in the air, little too comfortable. songs either He got caught up in the air a little too comfortable what did he mean but by the way, I'm not a Billy Joel guy Do you have any ideas? I think he was saying I like the girly songs, but then he was like I don't want to say girly more feminine Like he likes yeah early strong at Vienna. Where'd you go? Yeah, I've been here all day Dan I've just been sitting and waiting for you to mention the fact that I was on this zoom as well You couldn't get in today either you couldn't get anything what happened flooding got you too. Yeah flooding. It's a nightmare here I was worried about being able to get back to the Fort Lauderdale area After the bands that are playing behind your head in the studio come through and make it inevitably flooded

So after driving through all of it yesterday when we were on our search for Panthers fans I decided today would be a day to stay home Okay, so I do before I before we do get out of here in a panic I did want to talk to Chris and Roy about some like I did want to talk some Panther hockey before we got out of here. But I want it. Oh, the biggest game in Panthers history? Yeah, but I still, I want Lucy and Jessica to give me reaction to the,

Dan Hurley hasn't spoken before that. And he said some things that I was surprised by. And I'm just wondering how you guys experienced that Lucy. Well, I wish we would have talked to him about all the Batman stuff he had in the background. I couldn't stop looking at it. His hat was so cool. It was interesting to hear his perspective, especially as a big college sports fan.

It's nice to kind of see the big name stay in college sports, but I kind of wish we would have asked him some more fun stuff. He's got a great personality. Yeah. So I screwed up is the bottom line. Well, I didn't say that. I implied it. No, you say that I I implied it. No you said it If you're saying I wish we would have asked him some more fun stuff. You're saying it wasn't fun enough

Hmm. I didn't say it wasn't fun. I said I just wish you would have asked more. Can we call him back? Can we find out? Can we find out about the Batman information the Batman? Was so cool. Yeah, very cool. By the way, I should have said this to him. I don't like, you know, I'm just gonna be a coward, but this last week has been awesome for him. Like, come on, like he's been acting like, we'll just struggle the last week as Big Friend.

I did ask him that. Eight minutes after he's gone. I forced him into that position. I was like, he did say it was gut wrenching. You don't believe it was gut wrenching? I believe that the decision was hard, but it's all good decisions. It's like, wow, this frickin' awesome thing over here,

or I get double the salary at Yukon. Like, these are great problems to have. Listen, he turned down $70 million. That's a great problem to have. Seriously. OK, but once you get it, That has to feel good on its own. This is absolutely true.

But I'm always interested in how and where it is you guys disconnect from these people being human beings When the money is involved Chris Cody if you right now had some sort of great offer to work In New York for Stephen A Smith for more money And now you have to leave your grandfather and you have to go and leave all the things you've known in your life But it's a little more money Or it's a great gig You don't think you'd struggle with that and your family does and your family doesn't want to leave you just made it real for Me and I would I'm already sweating thinking about my wife like she's not gonna want to take her our French My daughter has friends at school. I get it now Dan has a way of doing that, right?

But the money I understand why it is people think that the millionaires aren't human beings But if your wife doesn't want to leave he called her violently emotional and then had to walk that back no i'm just saying it must be a good feeling where you have such a good job and you love your job so much that you turned down a seventy million dollar offer that has to feel good that's crazy and you're literally xp describing the exact situation i was ed i had a great life in LA. I had so many friends, people who loved me,

and I moved to Miami, and guess what? I can't walk outside because I'm gonna drown. What's happening outside your house right now? Did you get a lot of, outside your apartment, did you get a lot of wind and bad weather last night that leaked into your apartment? Because it looks pretty great right now. You look like you live in paradise right now.

It's so expensive. It's not paradise. It's cost me everything, literally everything. Yesterday when I was driving, I did like the most illegal thing I maybe have ever done when I was driving. There was like, they dropped like the guards for the railroad track because it was raining so bad and they were like, didn't want people to drive and that's the only way I could get to my apartment so I had to drive through those. Wow, the Panthers also had to do it. You're a real Miamian. You crossed the train tracks when you weren't supposed to.

I did not like the feeling of it. Also I have to say I'm a little angry with my dad right now because I texted him yesterday and I said oh my god the roads are so bad. I've never seen flooding like this in my life and he doesn't respond Lucy Are you okay? How are you doing? He responds man. This is gonna be really bad for insurance. That's not the priority right now What a panties I am the priority Okay, cuz I do want to show people behind the curtain here. There is no one in the history of our show, and he leads by leaps and bounds over everyone else who is more careful about not talking when others are talking than Roy.

He schleps in here today. He hasn't said anything all show because there's a lot of fire coming from every direction. Amin did God knows what when he was here, and Roy has tried to speak twice during this segment and the reason people Can't do the show on remote is because they just trampled Roy twice And what Roy is trying to talk about is something he cares about more than anyone on this show or just about anything in his life It's too bad today's show was canceled that there was no show today to talk about all of the amazing things that happened in sports Yesterday and are happening this week. This, see, there you go. Let the man speak.

God damn it, man, come on. The transition was going to be the Panthers are dealing with the same thing. They barely made it out of Fort Lauderdale yesterday when they tried to fly to Edmonton. I honestly think this could have an effect on this series because they were delayed. They didn't leave till yesterday.

I don't know how I feel about that decision. They could have left early on Tuesday. Yeah. Like after the game, but I guess Maurice wanted to let them sleep in after the game night. This is an interesting call because they got delayed yesterday.

They didn't get in till like nine last night with the time change. Like you could see a sluggish Panthers team tonight and the travel could be the reason for it. Clearly they delayed this flight because of the ball carve injury. I mean, it seems pretty clear to me. Why?

Because he might have a concussion, he might have a broken jaw at the time. But he did practice yesterday. And he's playing I think, right? Yes, I believe he's gonna end up playing because he's wearing his normal jersey during practice. He seems like a game time decision, according to Paul Maurice, yesterday.

But Maurice said that they have a whole team of people that do the math on going into different time zones, how much sleep you need. There's a whole, I hate people that are just like, I know it all. Know it all is when it comes to like, The math on what? Bark off your best player, play him if he's available.

I don't like people that are know it alls with how to beat time changes. It's like, oh, you gotta eat right before the flight. Like, shut up, all right? I have my own... It's actually, don't eat before the flight, and then when you land, actually start working out to get your body back in rhythm,

circadian rhythms and whatnot. There you go, that's what I hate. That's what I hate. He's right about that. Circadian rhythm, he's right. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever that means.

Roy, do you want them to win the cup in Edmonton or would you prefer them to win it at home? I would prefer them to win at home. So I have to go to Edmonton. No, but Roy, can we talk about your plans? If the Panthers win tonight, Roy's hopping on a bird and will be in Edmonton for game four. If they lose tonight and they can't clinch in game four, he's staying and we'll go to game six. If that's a thing. Yeah, that's exactly what's going to happen. And I'm looking at flights right now and they can't clinch a game four, he's staying and we'll go to game six, if that's a thing. Yeah, that's exactly what's gonna happen. And I'm looking at flights right now and they have ranging between 1800 and 3500.

Good thing Dan's paying for it, I mean, you're good. So you're rooting for the Panthers to lose tonight, essentially. After 30 years of watching this team. I'm sorry. Back to back Stanley Cup finals. Right. I can't believe I'm saying this, but yes.

No, see Roy, you stop it right there. As much as I would love in theory a split, you get a chance to win it on your home ice in game five, that's terrifying, okay? We gotta win every game. Right. If it ends up with a split, fine. But we need to be rooting for a win in game four.

If they go up three, I would Roy goes all the way to admit it and they lose that game four. That would be the best. That is worst case scenario, man. Because scenario we're all rooting for. No, no, you're rooting for this, but I can't go back to game six.

That's not in the budget. Burn the boats. I would save it for game six. I would save your trip for game six. There's no guarantee that there's going to be a game six. You don't have to be there. I do have to be there. I do have to be there.

I'm gonna end up on the ice with these people winning the Stanley Cup. I have to be there for that. You just want to be there for that. No, I'm actually doing work. This is actually for content. If the cup is in the building, Roy has to be there. I'm sorry. If the cup is in the building, Roy Bellamy is in the building.

But Roy, be careful. I've been tracking the flights in and out of Fort Lauderdale, Miami International Airports. The delays right now are beginning to mount. Inbound aircrafts delayed an average of three hours and 48 minutes at the moment. And your inbound aircraft delay may cause outbound aircraft delays. So be careful. Be vigilant, Roy. Do not spend $800 on a non-refundable ticket unless Dan LeBattard is the one refunding it. Yeah, that's a good point. Even if I show up late in the third period

and the cup's already on the ice, I'm going to be there. This is the most confident version of Roy Bellamy I've seen in 20 years of knowing Roy. Are you confident headed into tonight? Let's get that cup, Roy. Come on, Roy, tell us. Yeah. Oh, every time he says yeah they win.

Backstreet's back. All right. Since the dawn of mankind we've cooked our food over an open flame and debated the best way to grill. One thing not up for debate grilling and beer always go together.

That's right, it's time for Thursday Thunder. We got to do it quick because we got to get to Adnan and Samson. Thursday, Thursday Thunder is sponsored by DraftKings. Stay tuned. And also we got to do it quick because the gambling giant is breathing on our neck, making us come in here and do this segment in the rain.

And learn about everything that DraftKings has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings, the throughout the show draft cranes The crown is yours Tony Thursday Thunder quick juju as always putting together very carefully crafted the artesian single-game par lacer We've got Connor McDavid over three and a half shots on goal tonight for the Oilers We've got Matthew Kachuk over two and a half shots on goal tonight And we've got the mercury Kalea Cooper copper over 21 and a half shots on goal tonight. For your Florida Panthers. And we've got the Mercury, Kalea, Copper over 21 and a half points. That is your Thursday.

That was real thunder actually. That wasn't even the best. Yeah, we've got a problem here. Stugatz is left. He's fled because we have to get out of here. It is actually dangerous here with all of the flooding and the flash flooding and the state of emergency in Florida.

But the gambling giant has told us that we have to do that Thursday Thunder. And so both Tony and Roy are telling you that there are going to be shots in this game because Kachak hasn't been a factor here in this series in a way that's any kind of special yet. That's right, Dan, it is clutch time. Expect to see some shots from Matt,

I think he'd chug in this one. Well, for sure expect to see them from McDavid. Oh yeah, absolutely. For sure. Over three and a half. Yeah, he might get six tonight. I mean, if it's under three and a half for him, what a pathetic way for their season to go out,

just strangled to death by the Panthers. Yeah, just a whimper. Oh boy, I can't wait to see that cup on that ice. Get, you better settle down. We just gotta get get home safe first and it would be perfect though that upon winning the cup South Florida all of it is underwater priorities lately totally underwater in celebration of the ice cats. We have water everywhere Adnan and David Sampson are with us now to do their movie segment, top five movies of all time that have great food scenes in them, or I guess top five food scenes in the movies is the way to say that if you're not scared

of the typhoons outside and need to get out of here because you're afraid of Storm making metal arc wash. I don't want to spoil their list, but if the food fight scene in Hook isn't in this, I am going to fight somebody. 100%. Well, hold on a second. Wow. Hold on a second, aggressive,

and Adnan is changing his list because he's always interested in making his list more popular. No, I simply was jotting down, Dan, that that may be an omission, but I said, okay, that might get the mind flowing in a different direction, but I don't wanna piss off Cody,

but he's not gonna be happy with that list if that's what he's insisting upon. I have an omission as well that I just thought of and I'm despondent. The food fight in Animal House is not on my list. All right. So again, though, Animal House is a 1978 movie. This segment is struggling to stay somewhere in the 2000s. Go ahead. And whose list are we going to first? Sampson or Adnan's? How do you want to do this table? Go ahead. Number five. It is a movie from the 70s, but it's a line you all use from five easy pieces. When Jack Nicholson wants toast, the

waitress says there is no toast. So he orders a chicken salad sandwich. Hold the lettuce, hold the butter, hold the chicken and he gets served his toast. I use that every day, much to the chagrin of my fellow diners. That's a great movie and a great scene. Early Jack Nicholson, pre-Cuckoo's Nest. I love that movie. I'd love to crush Samson, but damn, that's a great pick and a hell of a scene.

Okay, but he said all of us use this and none of us do. None of us still use this phrase. I don't think anybody gets that reference. When Samson does that in a restaurant, no one understands, oh, that's from Five Easy Pieces. I just wanna get what I want. I don't need anyone to know what movie it's from, but don't tell me you don't have toast

or don't tell me you don't have an item that I know every kitchen has, and it's part of a different item on the menu, but people are so stuffy that they won't do it. So I'll say, give me that item and I'm happy to pay for it, but take all of it off. And I ended up getting what I want. Number four, LA story.

For those of you who love Los Angeles, which I know metal art does, there's a movie that you have to see with Steve Martin about Los Angeles. And there's a scene where I picture Levitard at lunch with all of his highfalutin climate change friends. And they're sitting around ordering coffee and Levitard is sitting there with his fantastic, beautiful wife, who I adore, Valerie, saying, I'll have coffee.

I'll have coffee with a twist, lemon with a twist. Another twist, it is a perfect LA movie. If you're gonna move to LA or you love LA, Randy Newman, watch LA Story. All the half calf, double decaf with a twist of lemon, all the twist of lemon, all the twist of lemon. I'll have a twist of lemon. Also the first scene with a hot dog is fantastic.

There's more than one great food scene in LA Story. I love that movie. You guys are agreeing too much. Number three. I hesitate to put this on my list, but Goodfellas is number three when I hate doing this, Brad man. But when Paul Sorvino is cooking and chopping up food in a prison cell, I remember my visceral reaction to it as anger because I didn't want anyone to think that being

in prison was in any way good at all, but he was allowed to cook a meal. It's a great scene. Hey Vinny, don't use too many onions. By the way, Vinny is Scorsese's dad in that movie. So great. You guys sound like real pals here, like soulmates, like step brothers. Number two, the rain is

beginning to end. Dan, yeah, when you're seeking a friend for the end of the world, you can end up with Adnan. All right. Number two. That's a movie reference. Levitard. You totally missed it. Number two. Pulp Fiction. Several choices in this movie. You could go with the $5 shake, which was

one of the great scenes that we talked about last week, or you could go with the famous Royale with cheese when he's eating the burger and it's the big Kahuna burger. That's what's in my head. And that is a great scene. Number two. Can't cripple with Pulp Fiction. What's number one?

Number one is the scene that everybody, maybe nobody in the room knows, but hi, my name is David, born in 1968. I'll wear it. Nine and a half weeks is the movie with Mickey Rourke pre-plastic surgery with Kim Basinger pre Alec Baldwin and you want the sexiest scene that's not found on channel J with Robin Bird you go to nine and

a half weeks and you see strawberries in a way that will make you realize whether you are who you are. All right. It's pornographic and it's also it's and it's pornographic from 50 years ago from 50 goddamn years ago. Weather's getting bad we got to speed this segment up. Yeah I know yes it's leaking in here there's water coming into the studio I can feel it we do have to get out of here but we had to stop momentarily to do a segment about movies from 50 years ago, sex scenes from 50 years ago, a teenage David

aroused for the first time watching nine and a half weeks and the idea that people can have sex with food. Now we know when he first got a boner, Dan. It's unbelievable. That's what we had to come in here for today. Adnan, what's your top five? You agreed way too much. Number five. Okay, number five. We're going to go a little bit older. Lady and the Tramp eating spaghetti together. I mean, that is an unbelievable scene. How about an animated movie bringing together all of us? Who has not? The Earth. Fire. Who hasn't had a plate of spaghetti

and tried to mimic that scene? All right? Number four. Number four. The Great Outdoors. Tony, you want a comedy? How about John Candy, the old 96er? Whenever I think of someone getting meat sweats,

I think of John Candy and The Great Outdoors. That's a great movie, I love it. Number four is The Great Outdoors. Roy is really happy about that. Oh, that's great, man. Number three. Number three, Oldboy. A little more reference, a little more contemporary here.

This guy gets fed dumplings for 15 years and eats a live octopus. It's an incredible scene. Jarring, brilliant. Oldboy, number three. Number two. Dude, you're gonna be pissed, Dan, with the age. I gotta be honest.

Cool hand, Luke. Paul Newman eating 50 eggs in an hour? That is an unbelievable scene. I can believe one year it came out from Paul Devin, 50 eggs in an hour, awesome. That is pretty good. Number one. If you're gonna do an egg ad, man,

I thought you'd do Rocky eating raw eggs. That's also a good option. Number one, it's the greatest food movie ever. Stanley, Tucci, Tony Shalhoub, Big Night. The scene where they're making the timpano and they bring it out and eat it home and eat it and he goes, I could kill you. I could kill you. That's how good the food is. Big night. A mouth-watering feast for the senses. Beverly Hills Cop. Beverly Hills Cop. The shrimp shot salad sandwich. The banana in the towel pipe. The buffet at the Harold's

Club. The Harold's Club, that's right. And they had coffee with a lemon twist. A lemon twist, which you mentioned earlier. All the Hero's Club. The Hero's Club, that's right. And they had coffee with a lemon twist. A lemon twist, which, what'd you mention? All the twists, a lemon. That's a great call, Roy. It looks like your head's not in Edmonton after all. That was great. Roy hates that you guys excluded that. Thank you, David.

Thank you, Adnan. I'm getting bad in here. Yeah, we gotta get out of here. I will remind the audience, nothing personal is what you should check out if you want some great stuff inside and outside of sports business. Also, he's got the sporting class coming out tomorrow with John Skipper and Pablo Torre

and Adnan Virk, cinephile. You want to find that you learn more about movies, that's the place to do it. Thank you gentlemen, appreciate your time. As always, we do have to get out of here because it's a rain it's obviously yeah it's getting bad home here it is too bad that today we couldn't have time to discuss what a great night it was in Boston sports it's unfortunate that the show ends this way I yeah I would have loved to celebrate Tom Brady in the Hall of Fame and one of the great nights in Boston Sports history, but unfortunately we have too much rain here

and we are out of time and I gotta get home because it is genuinely flooding around here. I'm sorry, I'm sorry America. ["Backstreet's Back"] Backstreet's back, alright!
