You're listening to DraftKings Network.
Hi, I'm Ben Stiller from the Academy Awards snub movie, Dodgeball.You know, this election is a lot like dodgeball.Kamala Harris is the average Joe underdog, and... Nah, this isn't a time for jokes.You know what?It's way too important.
Donald Trump wants to terminate the Constitution.Project 2025 will give him nearly unlimited power.We can't let him get anywhere near the White House.So, vote for Kamala Harris.Yeah, see, that was better.The serious version was much better, right?
Paid for by Harris for president. Smirnoff knows there's no I in football.Football is a we thing, an experience that is best enjoyed together with good drinks and good people.

This is the Dan Levator Show with the Stoogatz Podcast.
I don't know what we're more like around here.Are we more like a hockey shift change or are we more like a NASCAR pit crew?Lucy and Jessica just ran out of here.
I went to Homestead and let me tell you,
As someone that's gone to the Chicago Street Race and someone that's gone to Formula One several times when it's been down here in Miami, from a fan-friendliness standpoint and a fan-access standpoint, the experience that I had at the Straight Talk Wireless 400 in Homestead was second to none.
I'm telling you, I'm out there on the track writing my name on the finish line like 40 minutes before the race.It was incredible.
You're not wearing the gear head correctly.
Is I am?No.He's wearing it.
He's got it.Good effort.Good effort.
He's got it on.It's a little broken.It's on his head.
in the season martinsville carl arson absolutely needs to finish top three here if he wants to get to phoenix with a shot at the championship but this is enthralling joey lagana was eliminated now he's leader tyler reddick had to win that race basically in order to get a playoff spot michael jordan said the kid raced his ass off you understand michael jordan is presently suing nascar the storylines in this motorsport are bananas
Do you uh, do you wish you would have jumped on sooner back when homestead was, you know, the end the championship Yeah, you joined like two three years too late.
At least it was in the playoff.
Yeah next year is not in the playoff That's a shame.
That's honestly is a shame.They bounced it out of the playoffs?Disrespect.Matt Beecher is gonna be livid.Oh no doubt.Such a great track.
Mm-hmm It was just a quality race, really no big wrecks, just the only wrecks were single car or two car because people were aggressive trying to win it.That's why you got to admire the five car.
Say it's true to himself, even though it's risky, now he's got a big race at Martinsville.But I really wish that a lot of you people would think that this is sincere because it is.I am watching this over the NFL on Sundays.
It's been such a fantastic season.You're all just standing idly by as this motorsport is really starting to find its
I will say that Homestead Motor Speedway as a South Florida institution is one of the strangest sports things that we have anywhere in South Florida.
That it's so far away and then you have this giant facility that is pretty first class.I mean it's about 20 years old but it is a
a place that I would say that NASCAR folks are proud to have, even though there's just a bunch of swampland all around it.
I mean, you can't exactly put a racetrack in the middle of downtown, like you got to put it where it fits.
We've done that with street courses.You can.But this is a traditional oval.And I was a little shocked, like the only thing in its vista, this is like this don't really exist in South Florida.It looks like somewhere in the middle of Tennessee.
Otherwise you would see.But you do see Turkey Point off in the distance and you do get to see some water. Boy, if that thing ever blows, that's gonna be a problem.
The aqua walls, oh, what a delight.
Dude, talk about those walls.Okay, so the traction at this track, it's famous, it's very slippery.It's because the track is paved with local seashells.
So the drivers find their advantage by literally hugging the wall, and you'll get a little, I mean, Rubin is racing, right?But you can't even fit a credit card in between some of these cars.Ty Gibbs, one of the greatest Nepo babies of all time,
Ty Gibbs, I guarantee you, you can't put a napkin in between that vehicle, that 54 car, and that turquoise wall that they have over there at Homestead Miami Speedway.But it's been a great NASCAR season.Two races left.Thank you for the opportunity.
Were you giving me the opportunity?I was not.
Nothing wrong with kissing the wall with your car, you know what I mean?The wife understands.It's just part of the business.
Put it on the poll at Levitard Show.Is rubbing racing and does the wife understand that rubbing the wall is just part of the business?
Yeah, she does.Homestead is 45 minutes from here.
It's very far.Well, that's without traffic.
It's my first time there.I was going through a suburban neighborhood.I'm like, can you believe it?Alex the Showman Bowman is bringing his trucks here through this neighborhood.I just had the greatest time.
And honestly, I've caught the bug in a very profound way, Dan Levitard.You walk up the slope, one of the turns?
The access is incredible.At Formula One, everything is so exclusive and everything is so siloed.NASCAR access is second to none.Second to none.
As I was saying, Jessica and Lucy shot out of here to do Gen CFB, and I still don't know what this show is more like.Is it a hockey line shift change?
Well, a line shift, when a shift comes out, another shift comes in.We just have less players now.
I feel it's more like, well, Jeremy did come in.We do have fewer players, though.
Are you excited about it?
Meanwhile, let's do weekend observations, because it's one of the greatest contests we've ever had. Just a crack.The Weekend Observations.
McDavid going back for x-rays.Goralis at Columbus?Are you kidding me?
The Panthers have won five in a row on the road.
Cole Sillinger, by the way.
I want to talk more kachuk, but we need to get to Weekend Observations because this has been a contest months in the making.
Don't like what he did to Tate McRae, though.

I had Rachel and Emma both home, and I was in a fight with Rachel.And I said, if you roll your eyes one more time, there's going to be a problem, a big problem.And she said, really? What are you gonna do?Stugatz.
Oh, God damn.I mean, that's where- I didn't have an answer.This is the Don Levatar Show with the Stugatz.
I spent the morning trying to think of what Stugatz's back would be.Which player- Who's gonna be back?Yeah, I thought, will it be Bryce Young?Tyler Reddick?I did not know who it would be and whether Stugatz
would choose someone that would make it hard for the more than 20,000 participants to win.
Mike, what are some of the things that people are betting on or predicting, I should say, to try and win this prize where they get to spend time, like some real cool time with our show?
Well, now that the contest is locked, let me see if I can activate, but I do know beeps and who is back of the week.
Number of beeps?Yeah, number of beeps.
Will there be a top five I think is in there?I have a question on the number of beeps, so Chris is in control of that. So like, if Chris misses a beep or he hits an extra beep, does that count?Are we doing where beeps are intended to go?
Or just number of beeps that get played over the air?
Number of beeps made by the litterer.You're talking about a really sophisticated scheme from Chris Cote.And I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that during his time in Key West, he didn't think that whole thing through.Scheme of war.
Let's go ahead and start the weekend observation.
It is time for Stugatz to share his game notes. No one in the media will tell you what happened better than my boy Stu.
Weekend observations brought to you by Miller Lite.Great taste.Just 96 calories available for delivery.
Dan.Billy just delighted in telling me that you've pissed off all of Japan.
I have.With your tweets all the time.Dan interrupting you first.Taylor.Dan.Buckle up. Because when he is in at quarterback, it's either big plays or pure chaos.No in-betweens.And honestly, I would have taken it any other way.
Whether it's a four-course meal.You would not have taken it any other way.I'm thinking about Japan right now.
Whether it's a four-course meal of touchdowns or an interception appetizer with room for seconds, one thing's for sure, eating a W is always on the menu.
This past Sunday, he returned, taking down one of the few teams in the sport that we thought was actually good.And Dan, Just like that, make no mistake about it, Jameis Winston is back.
A lot of contestants still in the game if they took Jameis Winston.That's a good one.
Notre Dame, do it at the Naval Academy.Tired of them.Notre Dame, please.Not sure about everyone else, but in my personal record book, Navy is eight, no, stugatzbook.com. Eight, no.Notre Dame may have won the battle, but Navy always wins the war.
No, Navy is undefeated.Eight, no.Personal record book.Playoff.Fortunately for us, playing in that football game was the least important thing that Navy players did the entire week. W-T-Y-F-Y-S.We thank you for your service.
For those keeping track at home, Mike Norvell should now spell his last name with seven L's.
That's a fireable offense, by the way, to have that program, even as good as they were last year, losing seven times so far because they're going to put up like a two and nine record or something crazy like that.
He's responsible for two of the worst seasons ever.Yeah.Ten million dollars a year is why he's not going to be fired.He turned down Alabama.
That was the nature of the reports, whether or not that was super genuine or just an agent posturing was that he turned down Alabama.
Yep.Aaron Boone, hot seat.Chicago Bears, take the training wheels off.New York Jets, quarterback away.Mason Rudolph, can scoot.The Washington Commanders, won the draft.Dan, you know what the H in Kyle Hamilton stands for?I do not.Not hands.
I mean, he had that game.The game was on his hands.If he had any, they would have won the game.They don't.They lost.
Brock Purdy can also scoot.
He can scoot.I like that bet.Will Dan have an observation during Stu's Weekend Observations?
That's not part of the contest, I don't believe.No.
Shohei Otani.They'll never look at you the way they look at Freddie Freeman.
Billy, what's going on with Stu Gatz in Japan?What are the latest?Because he's getting tweets in Japanese.
Yeah, it would appear that you tweeted out about Shohei Ohtani basically doing it in the World Series.I did?Yeah.I think it was do it with no runners on.No?Oh, that was before.That was, yeah, the LCS.
Now in the World Series, you or your account has tweeted something about Ohtani that has upset Japan in which they're essentially telling you to shut up.
Huh.I mean, he's batting 091 in the World Series.You shut up.Wow.You're going to go to war with Japan?No.
Baseball should just be a hundred and sixty two games of Yankees Dodgers You agree, I would really ruin Navy season Notre Dame's gonna screw up this Navy Army thing for everybody Are they yes really yes, I think that those schools could have gone into the game against each other unbeaten Hmm wasn't talking about Notre Dame talking about the whole Japan thing yeah, I
We'd need them in the war.
Sorry, Horvath.I can't go to war with Japan.
No more pitches to the fullback.You already have gone to war with Japan.It's happening right now on social media.
You asked me, I said, no, I mean, I haven't declared war.
Well, I mean, you did by pointing out that Otani needed to be better.
I don't have international incident in the prediction pool.
Without Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs are probably still 7-0.Without Spags, they are probably 0-7.They say art is subjective.I say that Dwayne Wade statue is terrible.Top five statues of all time.Oh, wow.Number five, the Rocky statue.
You know they moved it? They did, slightly though.
It's not at the top of the steps.
You kind of want to see it at the top of the steps.Do you run the steps when you go there?Yeah.You have to, right?
Yeah.Number four, the Heisman Trophy.Number three, the Michael Jordan statue outside the United Center. Number two, the Statue of Liberty play by Boise State, the 07 Fiesta Bowl.That was a good play.Thank you.
You know they moved that Jordan statue inside?Get out of here.Yeah, like if you go to visit and it's the wrong day, I'm with you.Yeah.I'm with you.I mean... Couldn't see it.I went just to see it.And like, United Center was in the middle of nowhere.
I drove there just to see the Jordan statue.Couldn't get in because there was an event inside.It's like Homestead.Yeah, I had to leave.
I gotta tell you, whether it's littering should be outside or statues should be outside, we need to keep statues outside.
Yeah.The Madhouse on Madison.Number one.Joe Flacco.In the Pocket. No, just Joe Flacco.He had a 40-yard touchdown run.In the pocket was Taylor, Joe Flacco was me.
He has a 39-yard touchdown scramble in his career.
Yeah.Here come the Sabres.
Did you not see what the... I mean, I wrote these Saturday.I mean... Taylor.But last night... What happened?They lost?
I mean, the Panthers have won five in a row on the road.
Okay, you're stubborn about it.
Matthew Stafford would have won that game for the Vikings.This might be the best coaching job of Mike Tomlin's career this year. I mean, the way he handled Justin Fields and Russell Wilson and just seamlessly, that's how you do it.
I mean, he's a great coach who's a little bit overrated because he can't get it done in the postseason.
I love it when someone else writes their observations that undercut a previous day.
I hate it, Taylor.You could write them yourself.Navy, turning the ball over six times against Notre Dame.Are we sure we trust them with our nuclear weapons?Smetty.
I trust you around that word.
Nuclear.There you go.That's what happens when you care about our nation's security and not ball security.Smetty.How did this Notre Dame team lose to Northern Illinois?Smetty.Navy isn't your father's Navy or your grandfather's Navy.
It's just the same old Navy.Smetty. Navy in the triple option.Dan, you know what it means if you have three options?
Hey, look at you!It means you don't have one.Russell Westbrook is a nugget.Rest of the NFL.Here's an idea.Stop trading your players to the Kansas City Chiefs.They're doing just fine. I could listen to Jameis Winston talk for hours.
The Dodgers won game two.The second ice cube started performing.Fat Joe lost game three for the Yankees. Do we need a concert before every World Series game?Can't baseball just be enough?
Oh my God.Just give me some baseball.You guys, you and Billy, you're Billy taking out my demo because he doesn't like Ice Cube because he doesn't like 50 year old rappers and Fat Joe and you, you just want baseball.
All of a sudden now you're pining for baseball to go back to being what it was in the 1920s.
It wasn't an attack on you, it was just like factual.I know Ice Cube more from like RV movies.
Family movies?Yeah, he's great.
I like those movies.Bartolo Cologne is faster than Giancarlo Stanton.
Put it on the poll please, Juju.Is Bartolo Cologne faster than Giancarlo Stanton?
More like Giancarslo.Giancarslo Stanton.
He's not fast.Right.Reggie Jackson.Mr. October.Derek Jeter.Mr. November.Aaron Judge.Mr. June.The J Judge.Stands for June.As a Met fan. It is warm my heart seeing how quickly Yankee fans are turning on Aaron Judge.
Yankee fans firing Aaron Boone while he's managing the team in the World Series.WFAN must be getting 40 shares this month.Billy just did the same thing.
More like Giancarlo standing.Oh.
What? LeBron James passed Michael Jordan with the most career 30-point games after turning 39 years old.Yawn.Let me know when he passes him and rings.
And when he wins at home, said.
Do we have the in-season tournament again, by the way?Yeah.The IST?IST.That's an annual thing.No, it was a one-year thing.We never know.It went so poorly.What are you talking about?
How can you forget that final between the Lakers and the... Pacers I know it's crazy Jeremy.Why are you back?
It's just a shock supporting you You get fat on the Pistons and all of a sudden you pop your head in Good win playing team Andy Reed's Hall of Fame bust should have Patrick Mahomes his face on it You did not just say that a win against the Pistons is a good win.
You didn't do that.Maybe a playoff team You're gonna do that.You should do it from the spin room that can't be set out in public I don't have the spin room today
If you buy World Series gear. and your team loses, you should be embarrassed.In fact, you should be ashamed of yourself.You don't buy World Series gear before your team wins the World Series.You know what they call that, Dan?
They call it putting the cart before the horse, counting your chickens before they roost.You know what I mean?Before they hatch, I think, is how you count the chickens.I am not sure.I think you're mixing up quotes.
Might be a personal experience for Taylor.
I call it the Tariq Stevenson.Celebrating a win before you've won.
Put it on the poll, please, Juju.Do you buy World Series champion merch before you've won?Yes or no?
You don't.You don't.You don't.Dan, you know what the T in Tariq and the S in Stevenson stand for?Too soon?They stand for the Stugats is strong in you.
He was celebrating very early and he has had to apologize.
Can you say he's laughing at his own jokes anymore, Chris?
It felt like we talked more about Colorado football when they lost.Probably not fair.
Seahawk defenders fighting with each other on the sideline.Chuck Knox is rolling over in his grave.Or as I like to call him, Chuck Knoll.You know what Chuck Knox was, Dan?A tough SOB.That's right.That's very true.
McAfee should have been the replacement kicker for the kid who tore his ACL.I mean, he has to.Put a stiff out there.Give the kid a chance.Anyway.
Nick Sirianni.If I may, video, why don't you get the footage of that guy tearing up his knee, please, and just keep playing it because it's awful and funny to watch.
Nick Sirianni, NFL Head Coach of the Year, Collision Course, Miles Garrett, the rare person who looks less intimidating when dressed as the Terminator.
What happened?It wasn't that great a costume.It wasn't a great Schwarzenegger.That's a lot of work to put in to have a Schwarzenegger that's not a great Schwarzenegger.
The missed extra point always comes back to haunt you.You can't be called Greg the Leg and miss a 44-yard field goal and an extra point.I hate them.Has an interim coach ever been fired?I hate them. At least Devante Adams is playing with his friends.
I hate them.Hey Aaron Rodgers, there's a play clock.You have to snap the ball before it ticks down to zero.I hate them.
Has any other team in the history of professional football, I'm rolling right now Dan, ever burned all three timeouts on a touchdown drive in the first quarter?I hate them.
They have had a lot of trouble with the play clock.I think it's weird.
Yeah, it ticks down to zero.
Aaron Rodgers has never had trouble with that.
I know.You know what the S in SALA stands for, Dan?Smiles.All smiles.I hate them.Anthony Richardson.Honesty is not the best policy.
I'm not certain anyone in the history of the NFL can make you forget how bad he's been with a single throw other than Anthony Richardson.
He is terrible for two and a half quarters and then he does something you've never seen on a football field before and you forget the two and a half quarters.
There are only two quarterbacks I've seen in the league that make consistently puzzling, terrible throws.It's Anthony Richardson and Trevor Lawrence, where he misses a guy by 14 yards, and you're like, what was that?
The F in Freddy Freeman stands for fake teeth.The EE in Freeman stands for the EE in teeth. Phil Lesh, rest in peace.An amazing man with a beautiful mind.I love you.I'll miss you.
And thank you for being the person responsible for providing me with over 100 of the greatest nights of my life.
You being grateful for someone who's dead makes that the perfect grateful dead punctuation.
Hell of a run.Speak of the hell.Arp Riles.Dan.Those.Are the weekend.Observations.
