The Levitore Show with the Stugatz Podcast. I feel like I have aired Stugatz in not getting to this before now, but I have read over the course of the weekend and people expected us to start the show with it today that Taco

Bell has added a burger. Wow. There's been a burger. Oh, Chris Cody's face is, he's not here for the Taco a burger. Wow. There has been a burger. Oh, Chris Cody's face, he's not here for the Taco Bell burger. It doesn't look like from his face. I'm with Chris, like, you know, stay in your lane. I go to Taco Bell, I want tacos.

I don't want a burger. I go to Burger King when I want a burger. I'm not gonna doubt T-Bizzle because they don't really disappoint me ever. Their fries, if you've had, like, you would think, oh, the fries, the tacos, they're pretty good. So I'm not gonna doubt them, I will try it, but I will say, you sang Burger from Taco Bell,

it does make, it makes me go, ooh. Like the way earlier, it made me go, hmm. Like things from the weekend that I've heard, they make me go, hmm. That's what this is. Put it on the poll, at LeBotard Show, which would you like less, a Burger from Taco Bell or a Taco from Burger King at LeBittard Show, which would you like less, a burger from Taco Bell or a taco from Burger King at LeBittard Show?

I'm not gonna doubt T-Bizzle as well because McDonald's had some mighty wings, some hot wings for like a limited time and those jokers were slammin'. What year was that? Think it was 2020 maybe, pandemic. But you go to McDonald's for burgers, chicken chicken nuggets perhaps wings if it's on the menu You would not order a taco from McDonald's you would not wings. I don't think you go there for wings

I try him out. Okay, but I mean wait, what's weirder? Why are tacos any weird? I'm not trying to taco from McDonald's I got that But why would you say you go to McDonald's possibly for chicken wings, but not tacos? That's where you're drawing the line I'm just saying if I go to McDonald's I'm going through the drive-thru and there are some new menu items And one of them is chicken wings Perhaps I will try it because they have a long-standing history McDonald's does of delivering great chicken And so perhaps I would try it. It's an addition to the menu. I would not try a taco No, the McChicken is fantastic.

Chicken nuggets are great. I don't care what's in it. I'm good with it. I'm right there with you. But this is a practice that is followed by Jack in the Box. They do tacos. They have other dishes that they have in there. And it's like the most normal thing.

But Jack in the Box feels like a real grab bag. So the burger I'm looking here is more of like a sloppy Joe than it is a burger. It's like the- Oh, a ground beef burger? I am in on this. Yeah, it's like a ground beef burger, like Picadillo, like a sloppy Joe.

Taco meat. Yeah. I'm in on this. Does that, okay, but what are they calling it? Are they calling it a sloppy Joe or are they calling it a burger? I'm seeing the Bell beefer, but I don't know if that can be true.

Let's give a salute to the brother around the world, whoever you are, who probably made these all the time in the back break room for Taco Bell, and ain't getting no damn credit for this. Salute to you, brother. Exactly right. Because a Sloppy Joe is not a burger, right? Put it on the poll at the Levitard Show.

It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not even close. It is a Sloppy Joe. It's not a burger. A burger has to be a patty. I mean. Not even close to a burger. A Sloppy Joe Joe. It's not a burger burger has to be a patty. I mean not even close

A sloppy Joe is not even close to a burger. It's got all of the properties of a burger Except the meat is mushy instead of a patty. It's like a third cousin It's got okay, but it's got all of the same properties except for the one You're out here. Not even close a French chef could call it a deconstructed burger Have you guys oh wow sorry I gotta interrupt you with this a few a few locations offered a Bell beefers surf and turf deluxe which is a combo which is fried shrimp Tuna and the beef all together and the beef all together. What do you mean tuna?

Fried shrimp. I'm just reading. I put a long John Silver. Which added fried shrimp and a scoop of tuna on top of the beefers, lettuce, and cheese. Disgusting. For that reason, I am out. Long John Silver.

Long John Silver is where Stugat said he was going for his fried shrimp. All of Stugat's thoughts are stuck in 1990. No, no, no, they're still doing so no Oh, yeah, they all are they were they they wrapped a NASCAR like a couple races ago Captain D's Apologize when's the last time you were at long John Silver's the last time I was in the mood for fried shrimp. I mean It's been a while

You you doing a word association with fried shrimp and Long John Silver's. I was fishing for the seafood of fast food, you know what I'm saying? That's what I was fishing for and I came up with Long John Silver's. That or Red Lobster. Red Lobster, that's not fair to them. They're not fast food. I don't drive through Red Lobster. I mean, sit down. It's a sit down dinner. Red Lobster is, I guess, more bankrupt than today's Long John Silver. I just don't think that any of us think of Taco Bell and Surf and Turf. That is not Sloppy Joe's, not Surf and Turf.

I'll go. The way you guys reacted to Burger, I would go that way with surf and turf at Taco Bell. That seems dangerous, that seems like salmonella, that seems like not a good idea. The tuna is just terrible. Where do they even get tuna from? The scoop of tuna.

Like where, it's Taco Bell. Anyway, you can fry anything up, but like all right, I trust you, you're not gonna screw up the fried shrimp, but the tuna, you can fry anything up. Like, all right, I trust you. You're not going to screw up the fried shrimp. But the tuna, this could be dicey. There is not one Long John Silver's in Miami-Dade County. Well, is there one in Florida? Yes.

There's one at Broward in 441. Broward keeping Long John Silver's alive. Miami-Dade said, nah. You don't wrap a NASCAR with Long John Silver's if there isn't Long John Silver in the state of Florida. It would be weird if you're really odd. I just can't believe that Long John Silver is still a thing, I really can't.

I mean, just, I think we can all agree, fish, fast food, bad idea. Really, why, the Filet-O-Fish rocks. And I'm sure there was a Sugats over there that would have been like, I don't think I want fish from McDonald's. Well, they knocked it out the park, didn't they? It was a legacy menu item.

Yep. You can get away with it as an item. I'm talking about as the foundation of your business. A freezer full of fish, fast food, bad idea. Just all bad. That's why Stugatz can only summon Long John Silver and Red Lobster as his seafood habits because you need fish prepared properly.

It's dangerous. You wanna hear a sentence that's a real sentence that you never thought you would hear before? Me and Mike went to the Sizzler for lunch. Yes. I've got nothing bad to say about the Sizzler. Nothing. Is their salad bar still a kick-ass bargain?

There's salad bar? There isn't salad in this thing. Not a salad was seen. It was really like a taco stand slash chili stand. I made nachos. It was a nacho bar. That's why it has always been the greatest of the salad bars.

That is the reason. There was more ice cream than lettuce. That is why it's my favorite salad bar and has been since childhood. My parents, both of whom have been overweight all their lives, called it throughout my childhood the greatest salad bar in the world You want your hard-boiled egg with a little gray in it come on over

Tell you know it's good little bruising of the yoke Put it on the pole, please juju is sizzler giving you a hard-boiled egg that has a little gray in it We enjoyed our time at the sizzler. Don't knock sizzler. Don't knock it if you haven't tried it in the last 25 years. I don't have anything bad to say about the Sizzler. I will not blaspheme against the Sizzler. I'm here for all things Sizzler salad bar, or as I like to call it, chocolate fountain.

What they also forgot to mention was it was in Utah. It was not here in Florida. We weren't even, we were headed to an Applebee's. And then as we were driving to the Applebee's, I was like, make a right, make a right. Is this real? Is this a mirage? No, it's a Sizzler.

And I've always like, my relationship with Sizzler now is like driving past a building and being like, that used to be a Sizzler. The Anthony's coal file on Kendall. It used to be a Sizzler, come on's Coal File in Kendall. That used to be a Sizzler, huh? Put it on the poll as well, Juju. Did that used to be a Sizzler at Leviton? Kendall 127, that was right there.

This is South Florida's replete. This is replete. South Florida, I don't think there are. How many functioning Sizzlers are there in South Florida? Dude, not in South Florida, I don't think. Not in South Florida. Like, I didn't know it was still around until I stepped in one. Had there been people there,

they all would have looked at us oddly too. But no, also like pizza huts do this to me. I think I'm pretty sure down in Westchester, there's a former pizza hut that's now like a real estate office. Mm. That happens all over South Florida as well. As of 2020, there was one Sizzler restaurant

in the state of florida kiss me one sizzler and there are you're learning one sizzler in all of florida that's what it says here that seems impossible so you're telling me there more i'd like to be stunned me today kiss me there are more long john silvers in florida yeah then sizzler and what are

on the pole as well just needs to be two and that lebatard show yeah that's it at lebatard show put it on the pole what do you do what do you believe to be more of in south florida long john silvers or sizzler cuz i think sizzler is going to come back there is people are gonna assume that they're more Sizzler's.

I'll tell you this, last year, 2023, US sales only, Long John Silver's did $328 million. One of their best years ever. I mean, check it out, longjohnsilvers.com. Go ahead and tell me how much Sizzler did last year in sales, because I am surprised that it's $328 million. Yeah, you think there are a lot of sizzlers in Rio de Janeiro? You never know.

Outback is massive in Brazil. Yeah, Outback is like the number one restaurant in Brazil. 1000%. It's not a joke. It's a word association now. Brazil, not even. Outback. Yeah, not even wax.

Outback. Okay. I believe you, that's not a Sizzler though. Outback. There are a number of American things that get- We're just keeping you informed. I was surprised in Beijing at the number of American things all over Beijing.

Starbucks is kicking ass in Beijing. US sales Sizzler, $204 million. Oh, look at this. So Long John Silver's kicks the ass of the Sizzler. And the Sizzler consistency is key. Each and every hot wing I got from the bar had the black stuff in it. Like just that black stuff you don't want in your hot wings.

Oh my god, consistency. Pizza Hut, how is Pizza Hut? They're bringing the buffets back. They're fighting. Fighting. They're fighting. Yeah. That's what I thought.

Sneakily, they're beta testing, bringing the salad bar back, making the Pizza Hut a dine-in experience, because I can speak for anybody. The pan pizza, after you take your book it, pin over to get stamped. The one on 104th Street. Dude, like the pan pizza from dining in a Pizza Hut,

slaps way harder than anything they could ever do with delivery. Absolutely. It's after a little league baseball game we're going to pizza hut. Oh my parents will hit up the salad bar and I'll get that pan pizza. Bring that back Jack. That is all I did throughout my childhood. That was the greatest of delicacies when dad would take us over to the pizza hut.

But I did not have pizza hut still in the game fighting with a dine-in experience. That is not something that I, your pizza better be pretty damn good if you're trying to lure people out of the convenience of hey, just bring that to me over here. You're telling me it's better there and they don't have a way to deliver that same pizza? Pay and Pizza is so much better at Pizza Hut.

They just went away from the dine-in model, but now- They're zagging when everybody else is zigging. And the chandeliers in Pizza Hut Oh my god So fancy the good fight your literacy literacy is down because they stopped the book at program tie in with Pizza Hut The chandeliers at Pizza Hut height of opulence Summers the best time to run the way you want dial it up with new I'm going to go to the gym.

she married larry dana i'd i'd do it for you he is one of the great characters in the history of television in my humble opinion and uh... and to my credit uh... my personal in my humble opinion followed by to my credit to my credit is amazing my personal just It's amazing. My personality does predate Curb Your Enthusiasm. Stugats! Oh wow.

I'm not going to say Larry David patterned himself after me. Alright put it on the poll please Jude. You did Greg Cody copyright being an asshole long before Larry David. This is the Dunn Lebatar Show with the Stugarts. All-Star game and it became very loud around basketball. Why we can't get these guys to care. To see Jokic clearly enjoy winning a bronze medal more than he seemed to enjoy winning a championship. And to see Kevin Durant after they beat Serbia, say to a room full of his teammates,

we'll remember this, this comeback for the rest of our lives to see the greatest care in a way they didn't at the All-Star game when they were celebrating what was a regional sport compared to how it is you're playing it now against the world I was legitimately surprised that the care level was in a place where I was watching Kevin Durant and Jokic be more joyous Then I've seen them be while while conquering. What is the Americanized version of that sport? Well, you mentioned the the all-star game and the issues with that

I sincerely hope Adam Silver watched these Olympics took that all in saw how cared, and is going to take a note from the NHL. We talked about this briefly last week, but they're doing the Four Nations as opposed to the All-Star game, which they've constantly changed the format and it's unrecognizable from what it used to be and the hockey players, they care more than the NBA players have seemingly about this and they're just deciding this little break in the middle of the season, we're gonna wrap ourselves in these flags and we're going to go for it. I really hope the NBA decides to do something like that and international

basketball. It's not the easiest thing to follow. FIBA has a ton of different competitions. If you have another marquee event outside of the world championships and, and the Olympics that can get people talking about national team basketball, I think that would be great for the game. They cared and it was very cool to see them care. They're also playing many of them in their last Olympics, presumably LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant,

not gonna play again, but it was really cool to see him care. I would guess, Dan, I have no idea of knowing obviously, that whether it's Jokic or whether it's any guy on the US team, they would trade that gold in for an NBA championship, I would guess Dan, I have no idea of knowing obviously, that whether it's Jokic or whether it's any guy on the US team, they would trade that gold in for an NBA championship, I would guess. Okay, and you've been wanting to do that show since last week. I'm not trying to do a show, I'm just saying,

I would guess most of those guys would. LeBron would trade it in for a fifth. Perhaps, but what I was watching from a Kevin Durant who I would say has sort of been ransacked into, if not a bitterness, a fighting of the internet mentality that has made Kevin Durant seem less joyous than usually people who love basketball the way that he loves basketball are. The last ten years of watching kevin duran is to watch him love this sport and like next to

nothing that surrounds it because of how people behave as if they know more or care more about the sport than he does it's been weird to see one of the greatest i've ever seen like ground down fighting the internet in the modern age in a way that makes him not seem unhappy because he's happy when he's playing basketball like clearly he loves to who that's not up for dispute but the rest of it he can do without it was like we had kalaus camp along with us last week he says the same thing that ray lewis says

sunday's you get for free you're paying me for all the bullshit from monday to saturday like all the meetings all the bullshit from Monday to Saturday. Like all the meetings, all the garbage, but I love playing. For it to be so pure that Kevin Durant is saying he's going to remember that for the rest of his life, when I'm sitting here telling you, I watched it, I'm not going to remember the comeback against Serbia for the rest of my life. That's not something that impacted me the way that it impacted Kevin Durant. I found it interesting when it's a guy, well okay, he's done everything he's won everything there's

no feeling in that sport that he has not felt right no wrong this feeling was different for him play that. I mean I think that's a little bit of a like that. You know that that is. I like this that's what this about. Coming up as one of the other side of the world like this Start USA chance our section start USA especially tonight. So we got to celebrate You know me I know we want to win a goal but celebrate the small moments to

Bring you the closer right guarantee everybody they'll never forget about this night. Everybody here will remember this night for the rest of their lives. That's how special this is. Because we came back and we show how together we were in that fourth quarter. It was incredible. Let's show as well and play as well, Jokic celebrating. Again, this is the bronze medal. Like he won the championship as the big star on the nuggets

and this is the bronze medal. Look how happy he is. ["Joy to the World"] This is mostly B-roll in a different language for the audio audience, but. Joy translates, Dan. Yes, well, drinking and singing in chorus with your brothers. And beers with the boys always translate in any language, Stan. Yes, well, drinking and singing in chorus with your brothers.

Having beers with the boys always translates in any language, baby. Mike is so right, you don't need to explain joy. I mean, you just know it when you see it. Unless they're German. Good point. And sometimes French. I am also noticing for the first time in this video

that of the dozens of people there, for some reason, Jokic is the only shirtless one. Everyone else has kept their shirt on. He's decided to take his shirt off. And I will again say, Stugac, that as I look at that, if you had asked me at any point outside of the 50s, if that could dominate basketball, I would say no, that will never be something

that can dominate basketball. Looks like me with my shirt off in the club. It's not you, it looks like me with the shirt off in the club. But that's what's going on here, I think to answer your question about why does he seem more joyous, he look at what he's surrounded by. He's surrounded by his homies, his friends, he comes over here and plays with the people they signed for the contract. Like when I come to Miami, I go out sometimes to have a good time, but if I was to ever go out with Mike or Tony,

bro, we are living the spotlight, but damn if we gotta go, as long as we understand, brother, we got room to celebrate. Those are his boys is what you're saying. Doing it with your boys feels better than doing it with a bunch of people that you just happened to play with. Bingo, nailed it.

I'm really happy about the general Olympic experience. It wasn't too long ago where we were all complaining, like this is boring, the stars just don't wanna do it, we're not sending our best guys. And Team USA, especially in this country, did a really great job of engaging those talents, building a really good, strong program, and making it something that was a desirable thing

for these superstars and the rest of the world they always cared. There were international competitions in which you thought the main reason the United States didn't win is because they didn't care as much and it's really refreshing to see people care this much about this competition, the Olympics, the way that they do all of them. I was watching a jump off over the weekend. It was happening in between the US women's national team gold medal and the gold medal basketball game for the men's. There was a high jump competition. As I understand it, the CV was on mute,

but it was being explained to me. They tied. They could have split the gold medal, meaning they each get a gold medal. They decided, no, let's have a jump off where there is one clear winner and one silver medalist. And it was the US against New Zealand. New Zealand, I think, actually ended up winning the gold.

And I was wondering, like, why do you not like the other person? Because that would be the reason, that would be my motivation. I'm not splitting this with him. F you! Didn't US end tied with gold medals with another country in the total medal now?

Yeah, with China. So that means if we would have just taken that tie, we would have won it? Yeah, it would have been 40 and a half. It's a good tie. Good telling you guys. We had more medals. But to like what Mike is saying,

that's why I agree with Greeny. That Steph Curry shot was the greatest shot in US history because all these other shots happened while the America is watching, your team is watching, and Utah is watching versus Chicago or some shit. Nah, the entire world was sitting there waiting for us to fail.

Can you imagine all these shows today if we would've lost? Steph Curry saved us. The number that that game pulled in was insane. I saw people saying like 22 million on average watched that game. That's just like, those are numbers that you cannot even comprehend. And I thought the broadcast was also pretty enjoyable.

Throughout the entire Olympics, maybe it's because I'm just coming from, I have to hear Reggie Miller on every game, mad respect, incredible, but come on. I'm at my wits end with this. I thought D Wade was super refreshing to have his perspective because he was an all time great, but he's around still an era

that you can consider contemporary. So you have that perspective. I thought he brought out the best in Noah Eagle. And I really think that we were all in amazement as Steph Curry was doing those things that I didn't really catch it in the moment. And a great call you kind of catch in the moment. So I'll talk out of both sides of my mouth here. But revisiting what Steph Curry was doing those things that I didn't really catch it in the moment and a great call you kind of catch in the Moment so I'll talk out of both sides of my mouth here

But revisiting what Steph Curry did because I was in a bar that was super loud no way Eagle killed that call He was awesome there when Steph Curry was going off. I thought he brought it Laughed a little too hard at D Wade's jokes too many times That's where you were headed and I agree with you. Wasn't that funny? He said, a golden dagger. I said, a tear. Golden dagger? That's great.

I think the French, I saw this clip, like I don't even know if it's a French broadcast and as someone that doesn't like misinformation, but there was an international broadcast that said the devil named Curry did it to us again. A lot has changed over the years listening to audience. Hey, it's Mike Ryan. One thing that hasn't, the great taste of Miller Lite. Now, you know, over the course of our history doing this show, Miller Lite's kind of been there

for the vast majority of it. And I have been a very public facing fan of the beverage. Why? Well, that's been up for debate for a long time, pretty much since 1975. But one thing that is not up for debate for a long time, pretty much since 1975. But one thing that is not up for debate? The undebatable quality and great taste of Miller Lite. The fact that it is only 96 calories. This is a beer that strips everything away that you don't need and holds on to what matters most. Less filling, great taste. A light beer that tastes

like beer. You don't have to choose what you like best. Miller Lite has great taste and is less filling. Tastes like Miller time.

I want t-shirts made for this Panther run, what could be this Panther run our Panther group chat We're not afraid of the light. That's a tagline for world Rar 3 This is the Don LeVatar show with the StuGuts time now for StuGuts weekend observations It is time for StuGuts to share his game notes

Din, the wait is over. It's been months since the last whistle blew. But now the pads are on. Rookies are out to prove themselves. Veterans sharpening their skills. Quarterbacks that

make you go hmm. Position battles. Old faces. New places. And Dan, just like that. Make no mistake about it. Preseason football is back. Excited? I was not excited. No. You are now though, right? No, not really. That 2017 commander's late. Somewhere, Pat McAfee is wondering why Asia Wilson is allowed to say bitch, but he can't. Soccer in America, if you want something done right. Really, this is a lesson for all of America in all things,

not just soccer. Leave it to the women. That's right. Yeah. We'd all be better off. We would. Yes, but you wouldn't have what happened in NASCAR. You'd be denied that. That picture of Steph Curry shot over Victor Wembenyama. Hey, France, hang that in one of your fancy shmancy museums.

You didn't want to say the Louvre. I did not want to say the Louvre. I didn't know how to say I was not confident. That's the same. That's the one. Hang that one say the Lou I did not want to say the Lou I did not say I was not confident The one hang that one in the Lou you wanted to go fancy shmancy he was afraid of the word museum Do I was did it say Lou? Yeah He was scared of so many of the things Put it on the pole please, Juju.

Does art scare Stu Gantz? You did rob us of hang that in the lavery. I wasn't sure I thought it was that. Hang that in the louvre would have been great. If I catch a foul ball in a baseball game. Wrong set. I'm not giving the ball to a little kid. I caught it. It's my foul

Now, you know, over the course of our history doing this show, Miller Lite's kind of been there for the vast majority of it and I have been a very public-facing fan of the beverage. Why? Well that's been up for debate for a long time pretty much since 1975 but one thing that

is not up for debate the undebatable quality and great taste of Miller Lite. The fact that it is only 96 calories. This is a beer that strips everything away that you don't need and holds on to what matters most. Less filling, great taste. A light beer that tastes like beer. You don't have to choose what you like best. Miller Lite has great taste and is less filling. Tastes like Miller time. To get Miller Lite delivered right to your door, visit MillerLite.com slash Dan, or you can find it pretty much anywhere that sells beer. Celebrate responsibly. Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 96 calories per 12 ounces. Fewer cows and carbs than premium regular beer.
