This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stucats podcast.
All right, look, it's Friday.
We suppress his topics all throughout the week.
It's very excited.
It comes in in the morning and wants to talk about things that none of us want to hear.
So, Jeremy, we're going to give you an opportunity here.
But it's not free reign, all right?
Democracy.
Yeah.
Like, you got three things, let's say, that you want to talk about.
All right.
We're not letting you talk about all.
three. Honestly, I don't want to hear about any of them, but you're going to tell us which three
you are most into, and we will vote. And we will... Oh, man, I think you guys are really going to
like these this week. For one of them. No, there's some really great stuff going on that I'm
really fired up about it. All right, let's hear it number one. This weekend, Olivia Rodriguez,
I mentioned her last week. She's hosting SNL, host and musical guest. It kicks off a really
great three-week run to finish out this season of S&L. Don't want to hear the whole thing. We're just
hearing the topic.
Yeah, I know what he's doing.
I know what he's doing.
Okay, so Olivia Rodriguez.
All right.
Then in Broadway news, Evita is going to be transferring from the West End over to Broadway.
Rachel Zegler, a star performer.
Okay, next, next.
No, check this out.
Next, next.
All right.
And then lastly, speaking of Broadway, Broadway star Derek Clenna, now a Savannah banana.
Wow.
All right.
Which one will you choose?
I got stuff on Avita.
everywhere. All right, so you're voting for Rachel Zegler and Avita?
Yeah. Well, I did appear in a stage production of Avita.
Oh, I need to hear all about that. I've probably the Savannah Banana thing.
Yeah, I'd vote for that one. I've seen a couple clips of that. I saw him just singing the one
staring through the window. Savannah Banana is the leader in the clubhouse, Roy?
Yeah, Savannah Banana. But I did play choir board number seven.
Dave, your vote counts too?
I'm going to go, well, I know it does that. I don't know why you would couch it in that way.
Because you're in L.A. so we don't know.
The question if my vote counts. I don't understand why you even say it in that man.
It's a strange thing because it calls into question whether or not my vote should count.
I don't understand the game.
I don't know what you're getting at, Zaslo, but either way.
I think what I'm hearing, Jerry.
Yes, Jerry, see, that's hurtful.
My wife's going to love that.
But you know what?
Maybe she'll hate it because, you know what?
She has to take a look in the mirror.
She's the one who chose to lay down next to me.
And I didn't make that choice.
Bear or her.
That's a, that's a bear.
Right.
Nude.
Yeah.
Dude, I think that if I'm reading between the lines, I think that Jerry Tashay wants us to talk about Avita.
I feel like that that's where Jerry is the most excited.
So let's talk about that.
I would actually like to hear about Avita as well.
So is it three to three, Savannah Bananas?
Let's ask somebody out there.
It's fine.
I'm praying for you even though you're ready, blast.
I couldn't have meant any less with my vote for Slag.
I don't care.
Just do the one you guys.
All right.
Avita.
Rachel Zegler, go ahead, Jeremy.
We're not giving you a ton of runway here, all right?
We're going to let you get to the crux of what you want to talk about.
Let's hear it.
Okay, so Rachel Zegler won the Olivier Award.
It's an incredible production.
One of the coolest moments of the entire show was when she would go out on the balcony, on the West End, and sing, don't cry for me, Argentina.
A triumphant moment where all of these people walking the streets of London would get to see this character.
Is that where Michael Jackson held the baby?
It does look like it.
Bring that back up.
I looked exactly like the Michael Jackson building.
Oh, I was going to let you know is that it's transferring to Broadway, and with that, they can't do this iconic scene because of gun violence in America.
What?
You know what?
I think it's good that they can't do this scene because why should all those people on the street get to watch this performance for free?
A bunch of freeloaders, and the people who are paying money in the theater, she walks outside for part of the show?
So they simulcasted into a screen on the theater and the whole premise of this character is this leader that in Ava Perone that was sort of a controversial, but the first lady of Argentina.
And so the whole premise of it was that she's one of the like one for the people.
I get it.
And so the symbolism of being able to perform for the people that are there while the people who are paying the high expensive tickets of going to one of these shows, these elitist.
cultural consumers
have to just watch this
projection of it onto the screen.
It's a really beautiful moment.
I was wrong about the Michael Jackson thing.
Clearly a different balcony. That's on me.
So they're going to have to figure out another way to do it.
My suggestion, just project all of it
onto all of the screens of Times Square.
It's Guatemalan Tash.
Zazlo brings up a fascinating point, though,
which is like, so do you Zaz,
are you against the people who sit
up on the rooftops outside Wrigley and get to look in for free?
No. I mean, like, there's nothing that the Cubs can do about that.
Like, they're not trying to perform for people who, you know, don't pay for it.
This actress, the show, is making a point of performing for people who are not paying.
I get you. So I hear your noise.
What I resent more as a ticket buyer is at like Blue Man.
see that back in the 90s or whatever that was going on or one of the Cirque de Soleilis or whatever.
What I don't like is when I when I pay top dollar to watch your show, I'm there to be a
passive consumer of it. Don't try drag me into your show. Like come on everybody. You might get
you're a part of the show. We'll call you up on stage whether you like it or not.
Keep your hands off me. Yeah, I have no interest in. I'm here to sit in the chair and watch.
You dance and do your, do your, you're flipping around to and fro.
Don't, don't drag me up here, Blue Man.
I went to Blue Man group a couple years ago.
I'd seen them a couple times.
I went a couple years ago.
We were sitting pretty close to the front of the theater.
And in the first couple rows, you got to wear like a raincoat.
More than once you went?
That's weirder than the 30 Pearl Jam shows by a lot.
Video team, let's get Zaz photoshopped as a member of the Blue Man group.
Yeah.
It's not a easy.
Dave, I, uh, I heard you talking a little.
bit about this before the show today where you had a you had a pretty terrible in-flight experience.
Yeah, well, I did actually because I had such a glorious time on the banks of the Three Rivers,
Pittsburgh, PA representing itself just beautifully, I think 100% positive reviews of the draft
experience there. Sully then as I returned, as I made my figurative and literal return to
to the rest of the world.
30,000 feet in the sky,
grim reality seated next to me.
The lady, they gave out the little pretzels
and that she had her little bag.
Now, you're sitting coach.
Obviously.
Well, is it obvious?
I don't know.
A man of your stature.
Because I'm a man of the people.
I'm a man of the people.
Now, are you sitting in the middle seat?
No.
No, I go to great lengths.
You know, can I remember who the three people
were. I once saw
on a plane
who,
Rob Zombie, this is,
I was waiting for the flight.
He's short, huh? Well, here's the
thing that was striking to me. I don't know how this
happened. A flight from Chicago to L.A.
Three celebrities
on the same flight. You know, they usually
say if there's a big celebrity on the flight,
you should feel safe because they very
rarely go down, Buddy Holly, notwithstanding.
The
at the say, Rob Zombie,
Sinbad and Tom Green are all waiting for the same flight.
All for the same flight.
All for the same flight.
Blunt rotation.
One of them was in coach in the dirty middle seat.
Oh, can we guess?
In the dirty middle seat.
Who do you think it was?
Sinbad.
Tom Green.
How many years ago was this?
Yeah, how many years ago matters?
Let's say 15.
Let's say 15.
All right.
I'm going Tom Green.
It was Rob Zombie.
No.
But he's tiny.
He's tiny so he can fit in the middle seat.
Mr. Tough guy?
Mr.
Rock and Roll?
Is riding in the dirty hump?
Oh.
But anyway.
I would not take a flight at the only seat left available for me.
It was a middle seat.
I wouldn't fly it.
What if you want?
Like, I've done that for standby flights.
Nah.
And where...
I think if you're in the middle, you have some claim to, like...
I think you have, you know, people do the thing about who controls the window.
Obviously, the person.
sitting next to it as raw as I can get. If I'm on the aisle, I'd really rather that window open,
it is under your control person seated there, and there's nothing I can rightly do about that.
I feel like the middle person should, because they're riding hump, they should get some
claim of dignity and otherwise and get to control the arm handles. And in fact, if they want to
claim their elbow takes priority to your elbow on the shared armrest.
but she was doing it in such a way that I was a little bit like,
come on now,
you're really consuming way too much armrest.
Like was her elbow encroaching on your side?
I also don't like when somebody assumes like,
I'm just going to leave it up.
Like we're not,
you and I don't know each of.
No, you got to.
I like the barrier.
You got to put it down.
It's a barrier.
You're right.
You got to put it down.
I hate to be rigid like that.
But,
but why?
But why do I need it?
Because of incidents like what I experienced.
So we're post pretzel now.
And I'm not exaggerating this for embellishment's sake.
She, for 20 minutes this goes on, 20 minutes.
She starts sticking every digit she's got into her maw to clear out whatever pretzel remnants.
Now made, I don't even, wait, her saliva.
combined with the remnants of this stale bread now stuck in her teeth and she's yanking it out yeah like
that like like tachet like jerry taschae apparently once did and she's there on an index finger my name is
jeremy here in the back then then thumb on the roof of the mouth then a pinky to get in there
and after every single one she punctuates it as though she's polishing off a lollipop and goes
every single time the spit sound and i i really was becoming incredible
because I'm a delicate flower. I understand. But I was becoming increasingly nauseated,
and I thought, I may have to vomit. And then I was like, where's the bag? That'll teach her.
But I thought even better if I just vomited directly under her shoes. How say you? Too much?
What's the correct response to this? How about act like a human being?
Here's the thing. What I don't like is then I'm the bad guy. Now I'm the bad guy for that
bothering me and being disgusted by that. But she's the one who's running.
a foul of decency, right?
Well, she's obviously a disgusting person, but if I'm in your spot, like, there's nothing
I can do about it because I don't want to, I don't want to be in that weird, uncomfortable
place for the remainder of the flight.
You're literally stuck right next to her.
It sucks.
I wouldn't have said anything.
Yeah, well, that's the, right.
That's what, that's what Dumb Dave sometimes does.
Sometimes Dumb Dave makes noises like, eh, or whatever.
but also like I did I may have made more than one guttural sound of disgust.
Really?
After she made, after one of those I went like that.
Really?
I sometimes do that and sometimes people hear that.
I don't know.
I feel like it's ambiguous enough that you might not.
If you're, if you have guilty ears, if you know that this is a little gross what
you're doing, you might hear that, oh, and realize, oh, people around me are noticing.
This is, this is gross what I'm doing right now.
It's really disgusting.
And maybe it gets them in the line.
I don't know. What's the right moves, Azlo?
You say, really? Like, what should I do?
I just have to sit there and figuratively eat it?
No, no, no. You doing that is the right move.
You saying something is the right move.
I'm telling you, I wouldn't be able to do the right move.
Like, I'm the one who's being soft in that spot by not doing anything.
You totally should do something.
I just, I don't like the uncomfortableness and now being stuck next to that person
for that disgusting person with this awkwardness for the remainder of the flight.
That's on me, though.
Like, I'm not doing the right thing in that spot.
Yeah.
It was, there were no good choices there is the bottom line, and it's on her.
Thanks a lot, lady.
Let's go sit with Rob Zombie, you know?
The other night I was staying in.
At least, that was a plan.
Then the text from my buddy Eagle Eye comes in.
Mike, we've got the games on.
I say, yeah?
I grab a pack of Miller Light, and immediately my plan's gone.
Now it's playoff basketball.
Every possession feels huge.
baseballs on another screen and I somehow care about that too.
Everybody's got takes flying.
Nobody's watching just one thing.
And we're all way more into it than we ever expected.
It was one of those nights that you take a sip,
you look around and you think, yeah.
This was the right move.
That's why I reached for Miller Light.
It's clean, refreshing, easy to drink,
root for taste with simple ingredients,
just 96 calories and 3.2 carbs,
the original light beer since 1975,
and it still hits different.
Cheers to legendary moments with Miller Lite.
Great taste, 96 calories.

Hey, Roy, buddy.
You know that energy shift when the game gets good?
and everybody altogether in unison knows to stand up on their feet.
Oh, absolutely, Mike.
Yeah, you've been at many big time sporting events.
You know that moment quite well.
That's what it's like when you take your first sip of Cuervo.
Oh, delicious.
It's the signal that says, we're not checking the time anymore, pal.
It's when small talk turns into stories.
Quervo, man, it's at high five a random stranger effect.
That's right.
The game is popping.
You're hugging people you never met before.
That's the kind of energy that Cuervo brings.
It's so smooth, so delicious.
That's the Cuervo effect.
Keep it, Quervo.

Don Lebertard.
John, can you rate my Al Pacino from that billiard scene in Carlito's way if I do it for you?
I think it's pretty good.
Yeah.
Stugats.
You think you're big time?
But you're going to die.
Big time.
It is on my infamous scale.
of one to 10.
That's a,
that's a 7.6.
Solid.
Good job,
that's a sui nominee right there.
This is the Dan Levitar show
with the Stugat.
You are going next weekend
to see the new
Mortal Kombat movie.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Do you already have your tickets?
I do.
I am, uh, this is the second,
this is Mortal Kombat, the second one.
The first one came out,
what, like four, five, six years ago.
something like that.
2021.
During the pandemic, it was one of those
HBO Max initial releases.
Okay.
Yeah, and I loved it.
I liked it too.
I did a rewatch last night.
Now, a couple of things held up.
Yeah, I wasn't aware that the green screen stuff was so bad.
But outside of that, Kung Lao and the fatality, amazing.
I'd like to watch it again.
But there is one thing that I think every Mortal Kombat fan
who watched that movie and still found a way to enjoy it came away with the same
opinion. Cole Young has to die and immediately in this sequel. Who is Cole Young? He's a made-up
character. Oh, he was, okay, the guy that came from Earth. The bad, the bad MMA fighter. Oh,
I don't like that guy. The Tamedican MMA fighter that all of a sudden is killing Goro. Spoiler
Oh yeah, Goro died so early in the first movie. Yeah, it was, it was bull. But, you know, in the
second one, we actually get into the tournament, allegedly, because the first one... And this guy,
Cole Young is in the second movie? I am very encouraged by his poster play.
He's very low.
It seems like he's been replaced as our main hero.
Well, Johnny Cage is the main guy.
Johnny Cage is the main guy.
Played by what's his name, butcher from the boys.
Cal Urban?
Carl Urban. Carl Urban.
Yeah, so we'll see how that goes.
You know what I got for the, like, I have, the boys want to see Mortal Kombat too.
It was a great, great flick.
You love Mortal Kombat.
You were raised on the video game.
You know all the characters.
What we're doing for this one, Zaz, is we're going 40X.
Oh, who cares?
Are you familiar with 40X?
No, but the way you describe it, it must be some fancy, they make you believe it's some fancy screen that it's going to be a completely different viewing experience.
I don't care about that.
These are the chairs that move.
Oh, I have done that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I almost fell out one time.
You're in on this all of a sudden.
So, like, the first time I did this.
I saw the Buzz Lightier movie in that.
I almost fell out of the chair.
It was like a roller coaster.
I wasn't prepared.
Yeah, no, I wasn't prepared for it.
The first time I did it was for Mission and Pops.
possible.
The one that he's disavowed.
If you had fallen out of your chair and your boys were there, there's no coming back.
I almost fell out.
I didn't expect it.
There's no respect ever again for the old man.
It's Zaslow.
He almost fell out of his chair yesterday.
We're finding that video right now.
We'll pull that video.
We got a nice one for you here.
So I wasn't familiar.
I thought it like, all right, 40X.
The first time I did 40X, it was because it was the only theater available and I bought tickets
and I got to see Ethan Hunt be disavowed by the government.
Dead reckoning?
When are you going to have the opportunity to?
So we're going down the streets of Paris, right, in these cobblestones.
You know, what I like to do with these fancy new movie theaters is I like to pour myself a nice little glass of wine
and pair it with a bunch of crunch and a leap airing.
And I was not prepared.
I was spilling the wine all over me.
Right.
Now I've learned.
And I've since seen Twister in 40s.
The seats are no joke.
No, no, they move a lot.
Yeah.
And so I was like, guys, do we want to do this where we go watch Mortal Kombat Tamp?
but it has to be 40x.
That way we can feel every Luke Kang chicken kick.
And so we're all on board.
I'm going to dare everybody to wear white and order a glass of wine.
Let's see who survives.
Let's see who has a flawless victory.
Dave, this was yesterday when Zaz was finishing with his ear thing
and he tried to sit down on Roy's seat.
I mean, maybe.
All right, everybody take it easy.
Whoa.
Everybody, everybody on that.
I mean, maybe.
All right, everybody take it easy.
Everybody calm down.
Everybody, everybody calm down.
You're used to sitting in chairs.
I don't know what the big deal is, okay?
I meant to sit down in a chair and I did.
You almost said all the vowels.
One of the great rivalries of the 21st century.
I want to hear this again.
Zaslo v. chairs.
Let me hear all the vowels.
I mean maybe.
All right, everybody's taking it easy.
Everybody, E-I-O-U.
I like how you automatically went to everybody
Take it easy.
So fast, it was great.
No, we weren't going to let you have that one.
And credit to you, you knew that you were fighting a losing battle
and you just excused yourself.
You're definitely one.
Now, look, I understand what you're saying about the seats
because I have done that before.
And like I said, I almost fell out.
You strike me as one of those snobes.
One of those movie snobs who, oh, I got to go see it on the screen that wraps around.
It's the way that you are meant to see the movie.
No, no, I don't do that.
I am a movie snob, but I do like these hoity to hoity, nice high-end movie theaters,
the big comfy couches where they serve, like, full meals.
I got my go-to movie theater for that, and I'm typically not a 40x guy.
Because for Mission Impossible, like, dude, it was straight up distracting.
especially when you're trying to not spill wine all over yourself.
But the second time was for Twisters, and I was like, okay, I knew what I was getting into.
This can be fun.
And now for Mortal Kombat, too, which is...
Does the seats spin around?
No, no, it doesn't go...
That'd be something.
But for Mortal Kombat 2, where, you know, it's a popcorn flick.
We don't have to follow a plot here.
We all just want to see Baraka, right?
Some kick-ass.
Yeah, we want to see cool fight choreography.
I think this is a good choice.
And you already bought the tickets?
Were you?
Were you? Yeah, eight seats together.
If you were...
If you were drafted into an international battle and you had to draft sides and you have the first overall pick and you know this is a life and death battle.
Oh, I love this game.
Across all the seas of the big blue marble.
Yes.
Is your first pick Ethan Hunt or is it Jason Bourne?
Well, Ethan Hunt.
Or is it Beatrix kiddo?
It's actually Brock Lesoth.
Brock Lesnar is my first pick.
Really?
Brock Lesnar?
Yeah.
Yeah, the Beast Incarnate.
The Beast Incarnate?
I don't know what the hell you're even talking about.
Brock Lesnar.
Brock Lesnar, if we're all having...
The Minnesota Viking?
Yeah, the former UFC World Heavyweight Champion and the legendary WWE performer.
The Conqueror!
Yeah, I've often said, if the aliens come and we need to assemble a team to show like how intimidating
humans can possibly be, and also have the chops to back it up.
Because remember, I mean, one of the most superlative combat sports athletes there is.
I mean, when you include amateur wrestling, pro wrestling, and also MMA,
not many people on the planet ever produced quite like Brock Lesnar.
Brock Lesnar is on our motley crew here of people that can intimidate the aliens.
Throwingano in there?
Fah!
Who'd you say there, Tony?
Francis Inganu.
Inganu's got to be in there.
One of the hardest punchers, literally of all time.
Yeah, Ngano is in there.
I throw Miles Garrett in there.
Yeah, probably Darcy Hortichuk too.
You need a little hockey crazy.
Maybe Mirko Krocop.
Zaz, I mean, these characters are...
I wouldn't throw Zaz in there, aren't they here?
No, Zaz is not in there.
No, Zaz is not in there because, yes, he can't sit in a chair,
so, of course, he's going to have to draft something to defend his honor.
Do you know Vita Vita Via?
Or Heloninata.
Oh.
Holonita Nata.
Vita Vita Vaya really shows.
not be wearing the number 50, right?
I feel like if anybody should, like, he could wear like, he should wear like 792.
It's just about to say that.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
But either way, Zaz, these guys are way off base with their foolishness with Brock Lesnar.
I hope you're not going to, you're not going to jump on that.
No, I do agree.
You understand?
I totally agree.
Strongly.
Did you guys not see Jason Bourne?
You understand when he, when he, when he, I would say if you're not seen Brock Lesnar?
I don't give a good goddamn what
Jason. Jason Borden would not be
Brock Lezner. Jason Borden killed a guy
with a book. Not just a random guy either.
An assassin.
And Brock Lezor ended the Undertaker's wrestling
to beat him.
Did you not see when he took John Cena to suplex city?
He gave him like 13 suplexes in a row.
It was a squash.
You understand Bill. You understand Bill
organized a
a cadre of assassins, of assassins.
And then they all tried to kill Beatrix's kiddo.
They all tried to kill her one by one.
And one by one, she dispatched them, including Bill.
You think she couldn't handle Brock Lesnar?
Fair.
Double fair.
No, no.
Brock Lesnar beat Kofi Kingston in four seconds for the WWF championship.
Yep.
WWE.
I'm sorry, I should be better than that.
I hold myself accountable.
I mean, did you see what Brock did to the rock?
the rock. He became the youngest
WWE champion of all time.
That was at Somersland, the bright lights.
Yep. You understand. These people's lives
are devoted to being, not
just like assassins, like taking
out political figures and all of that.
It's to take down each other.
Because very often that's what it comes down to
when you're in the world of Jason
Bourne. And one by one,
Jason Bourne takes them on.
They fly through his windows.
They, they, they, they, they, he jumps
through, he jumps from rooftop.
to rooftop. He jumps from roofed up into people's homes so he can, so he can fight these,
these trained killers. And every time he comes out victorious with his life. Okay. And you're
talking about Brock Lesnar to me. All right. Let's let's let's try transit of property here.
Jason Bourne or Randy Couture? Because Brock Lesnar beat Randy Couture. Like really badly.
I mean, I don't even know what we're doing here.
Like, Ethan, Ethan Hunt, who is a distant third to born and Beatrice.
What do you want about?
What do you want about?
He was disavowed.
I don't think you understand the stakes.
I don't think you understand the stakes.
The whole world was going to blow up.
He got to it with three seconds left.
Exactly right.
And he broke into the Kremlin.
The Kremlin.
That's Russian White House.
Who, Hunt?
Yeah.
You obviously haven't seen?
I'm supportive of Hunt.
No, you're not supportive of your job about Lesnar.
I think even even even even...
Hunter with Lekore.
Randy Couture.
There's a bridge too far.
Randy Couture's got a head as bald as Zasloos.
I'm supposed to be afraid of that.
Hey, this isn't about me.
Andrew Lloyd Weber said Rachel Zegler's rendition of Don't Cry for Me, Argentina,
was the best it's ever been song.
You had your turn.
Oh, Jerry.
Who is that?
Oh, shut up, Dan.
Don Leberto.
I've never stepped foot on that campus.
If you told me right now, your life depends on it.
Go to Santa Fe University and just take a picture.
Stugats.
I would die.
I don't know where it is.
This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats.
So Mike, Moral Combat tickets in advance for a little while now, right?
Three weeks now, going on three weeks.
I'm not embarrassed to admit that I have advanced screening, advanced tickets for a movie that I'm going to see,
Tomorrow as well.
I'm not embarrassed to tell you.
I'm not.
I'm not embarrassed to tell you that I've had these tickets for over a month.
Okay.
Because I'm also going to see a sequel tomorrow of one of my all-time favorite movies.
I bought these tickets a long time ago to make sure that I get in opening weekend.
And like I said, I'm not embarrassed to tell you that tomorrow I'm very excited.
Taking my wife.
Devil We're Prada too.
Devil Wars Prada.
Okay.
There you go.
Nice.
All right.
We park our cars in the same garage.
What a movie.
What a movie.
I love the Devil Wars Prada.
I love that movie.
It's a great flick.
It's not even like my wife said,
hey, Devil Wars Prada 2 is coming out.
You know, can we go?
No, no, no.
I bought the tickets and I said,
we're going to see Devil Wars Prada 2.
How pitch perfect is Stanley Tucci in this film?
Love him.
Love everyone in that movie.
Even Adrian Grinier?
No, no.
I hope we wrote him off.
But he's perfect for that role.
What is going on with A and Half of?
She looks great.
And she's got a billion movies coming out this year.
And she's a big Knicks fan.
Emily Blunt, love her in that movie.
Oh, the chemistry between Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway, off the charge, Jonathan.
We haven't even mentioned Meryl Streep.
Miranda?
Come on, Miranda Priestley.
I can't wait to catch up to these characters.
See what they've been up to.
I mean, magazines, they've kind of died.
So how do we evolve?
Everyone knows.
Jason Bourne.
Jason Bourne was once armed with only.
a magazine against one of those aforementioned trade killers and he beat him down.
Ethan Hunt, Dave, got out of a submarine at the bottom of the ocean with no mask and came out
and made it to the top.
No mask.
If you're looking for me to take down Ethan Hunt, you're looking in the wrong direction, friend.
You said he was a distant third.
Yeah, why aren't you giving him more credit?
Distant third.
What I'm doing is praising Jason Bourne, not denouncing Ethan Hunt.
No, you're denouncing him.
Jason Born.
I think this is fine.
Jason Born or Miranda Priestley?
Oh, the answer is obvious.
I already told you.
Devil Wars Brada is one of my favorite movies.
Do you think Jason Bourne would have urine going down his leg?
The second Miranda Priestley lowers her sunglasses.
Steak!
Can we put that on the poll with Jason Bourne?
Oh, my God.
It's Miranda Priestley.
Is that right?
Zaslo, you start.
What is the best romantic comedy of all times?
I don't think that's devil where I was proud it doesn't count as that really.
No, it's not a romantic con.
I got it.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
When Harry Metzally.
That's a comedy comedy comedy.
That's not a romantic con.
That's not a rom-com.
It's pretty rom-comy.
No.
I love that movie.
Guys, I'm going to come out and say it, pretty woman.
That is a rom-com.
You're right.
That's the most iconic, certainly.
You know what's a good one, though?
Hugh Grant and Sandy Bullock two weeks notice.
That's a great one.
I'm a nine-month guy, too.
And that one's like, oh, we got to reconcile.
Like having a baby is hard, you know?
Robin Williams, I mean, incredible in that film.
Or she's having a baby?
Is that the one where they go, yeah, yeah, she's having a baby?
Can I be baking.
Will we count the wedding singer as a rom-com?
Because I love the wedding singer.
I think it is.
I think it is.
That's a great movie.
It is a great movie.
We shot down for getting Sarah Marshall, but wedding singer is more rom-com.
I got it.
Boomerang.
There were combs.
Yeah, boomerang's a good one.
I also say, how to lose a guy in 10 days is a great movie.
How about my best friends?
A great movie.
Oh, that's a good one.
Dude.
Rupert Everett and that?
Oh, the scene and the brunch scene?
Come on.
The moment I wake up.
I want to see just how woke.
I want to see how woke everybody is.
Tony.
Yeah.
Tony, I start with you.
Yeah.
Have you seen Brokeback Mountain?
No.
What's your review is?
No, I haven't seen it.
You can't see it.
Not that I can't see it.
It's in his cue.
Not that I can't see it.
I'm saying you're not willing to see it.
I haven't seen it.
I got other stuff in my queue.
Do you know what it's about?
Yeah, I know what's about.
It's a rock.
I don't think it's a condo.
That's more of just a romance.
Yeah, they bang.
I'm aware.
Again, I'm getting to it one day, maybe.
It's a bromance.
Hang Lee?
Also, there's a...
What's your review of that movie?
You've seen Brokeback?
Nope.
Never seen Brokeback?
No.
Why? Because you're...
What's the sort of...
Having had time?
The thought process.
Haven't had time.
Yeah.
I haven't seen the movie Brazil.
And I believe...
that one best picture. So there's certain
films I still have to get to. Can't see everything.
Haven't finished Netflix yet. I've never saw an episode
of Simon and Simon or murder she wrote.
Really? Really? Popular shows for long stretches. I've never seen
an episode of either. Speaking of your boy, Heath Ledger though. But I have seen
broke back. Ten things I hate about you. Great Rom-Cleck.
Classic movie. Absolutely classic.
Julius Stiles at her peak. And if you want a little, a little like deep cut
for a rom-com if you're looking for something, movie called What If that then got
rebranded to the F word, so I don't know how you would find it necessarily. But how about Daniel Radcliffe
as a leading man in a rom-com? Adam Driver playing like a comedic sidekick, really like soup. It's great.
Okay, I have a list from Rotten Tomatoes, the 200 greatest rom-coms of all time. We'll start at 200.
And we'll begin at one. The Philadelphia story is number one. I've never heard of this film. It's a film from
1940. No. Yeah. Modern Times. What are we doing here?
If you're confusing that with the movie Philadelphia, you are in for a different experience.
Very different stories, yes.
You know what?
I don't like this.
Big is number seven.
That's not really, that's an inappropriate.
I don't see that as a rom-com.
All right.
Should we peel back the layers on how this shouldn't be a rom-com?
Yeah, Elizabeth Perkins should have thrown in prison.
Absolutely.
Thank you, Zaslo, for having some courage to say something.
That's exactly right.
What'd you think when you were younger?
I thought it was inappropriate then.
Really?
I think it was, I think it's inappropriate.
The woke off is over.
The woke off is over.
It's okay.
I mean, yeah, that was outrageous behavior from her,
putting herself on a little boy like that.
All right.
Let's go to Cosmo because they have Notting Hill.
Man, Julia Roberts, is she the goat of this genre?
Notting Hill, my best friend's wedding, pretty woman.
She's the go-to.
Notting Hill is good.
She's All That is number two
Number two
She's all that
Who's that
She's all that?
Is that movie where like
Oh she's ugly
She's got glasses
Oh wow
She's pretty
Yeah and then she takes the glasses off
Whoa
Never knew
No more paint on those overalls
Number three is my big fat Greek wedding
That's a good movie
Yeah
Number four
She's the man
Oh good one
On number five
Is that who's that man
That's Amanda Bines?
No
Amanda Bines
Yeah
Yeah that's the
intro to Channing Tatum.
Number five is great.
Something's got to give.
You know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a, you know what?
That's a nice movie, even though I find it's, I find it a little specious that she's in Paris with Keanu Reeves and chooses to bail on Reeves in favor of Nicholson.
Yeah.
I mean, Nicholson in his prime.
Yes.
A Nicholson.
Runaway bride, again, Julia Roberts, Dave, the greatest.
Now, this list was confined to the 90s.
That's a crappy movie, by the way.
Running a Google search, though, it seems as though
when Harry Met Sally is...
You know what?
Now that you say that, I feel like you can make the case
when Harry Met Sally is the greatest rom-com.
Can I give you my favorite?
I will concede, not the greatest.
I mean, that's seen in the diner, come on.
My favorite is forget Paris.
Oh, that's good.
I just love that film.
If you love 90s basketball...
I got a thing against Billy Crystal.
so these days
but it's a great movie.
What do you do?
You know on it?
He cucked his desk.
Little Golden Road days.
You got it.
Toyota.
There's some good things in that movie.
It's a little ponderous.
But yes, fun.
Dave, you got Pat and Arduzzi on Football America today?
We do.
The dudes, the pit head coach,
I bring up to him because I know that
you guys in Miami care a great deal
about ACC football.
and specifically the program run by Mario Cristobal.
So I ask him about that.
I ask him about Kurt Signetti, fellow Pittsburgher or Pittsburgh native,
who just won a national championship against the aforementioned you.
And we talk about where do you guys come down on this?
I brought up to the dues that were I ever given a choice head coach of a college football team or an NFL team?
I would probably take college in almost every regard, except I don't want to be on the recruiting trail, especially you go through a whole autumn of football and all of that.
And then your reward for that in January and February, especially in the colder portions of football America, is to hit the recruiting trail and to go into strangers' homes to trying to convince them to come move to where you live.
All that seems unseemly and unpleasant, and I'm not a people person.
And so I would hate that.
The do said he does love doing that.
So one, would you choose that?
And two, if you were a recruit or your child were a recruit and a big time,
let's say Christobal's coming over, what kind of food are you serving?
He told me the do said, someone served Chinese food, which I think is wildly out of line.
Out of line.
Well, serving Chinese food.
That's not the right food.
What are you talking about?
I tell you, like a little honey chicken, a little low main, fried rice?
What are we talking about?
I'm talking about the setting.
You don't sit there with a place.
of noodles and you're trying to like eat a shrimp you're trying to eat at shrimp you're trying to shake a hand
I got ribs of my hands like what are we talking about maybe a sandwich a sandwich makes
a sandwich a charcutory plate might might might be nice you don't put out Chinese ever had
egg rolls it's too much I'm I had them yes and I've enjoyed them that's at the point I enjoy a
I like a pot sticker too it doesn't mean I want to be with my perspective head coach
The man who I'm going to oversee my development over the next three to five years of my life,
I'm going to sit there and then the introduction is how I'm going to be eating Chinese food with him?
I don't think so.
I don't like it.
Kung pow.
Black trouble honey.
Autisno crackers.
Dave, did you ask Coach Narduzzi if he was offended with your really long arm?
And our conversation preceded that unfortunate photograph that was taken.
Here's what happened.
We were all like, you know, Lucy Rodin was there and Rose was there and Carmen was there.
And there were some pit people along with the, with the dues.
And somebody said, let's all get together.
We were up in the dues's office.
What a time we had.
What a time we had running amok all through the pit offices right next door.
They're the Pittsburgh Steelers.
But don't talk to that.
them, they're getting ready for the draft.
So, and we're also waiting out.
We're sitting here on pins and needles, waiting out the old man,
waiting out Aaron Rogers to see if he's going to move here.
Ooh, we've tendered him.
Yeah, hey, Steelers, guess what?
Great news.
Nobody else wants them.
You don't have to tender him.
But either way, we took a photograph.
How many coins are you holding in your hand in this photo?
Why are you doing your best?
Well, I felt jam.
We were too tight.
And then I had to free up my arm because it was like sort of pinned back.
So I pulled it forward.
and then all of a sudden we landed on this and now I look like I say like maybe I had a minor stroke of some
we have a loop to close I need the blue man group Zaz before we go all right so someone can someone throw that up
I also can't believe we forgot crazy stupid love oh that's my favorite there it is there he is
really enjoy that Zazz really lean into the gush of paint there
The other night I was staying in. At least that was a plan. Then the text from my buddy Eagle Eye comes in.
Mike, we've got the games on. I say, yeah? I grab a pack of Miller Light and immediately my plan's gone.
Now it's playoff basketball. Every possession feels huge. Baseball's on another screen and I somehow care about that too.
Everybody's got takes flying. Nobody's watching just one thing. And we're all way more into it than we ever expected.
It was one of those nights that you take a sip, you look around and you think, yeah.
This was the right move.
That's why I reach for Miller Light.
It's clean, refreshing, easy to drink, root for taste with simple ingredients,
just 96 calories and 3.2 carbs, the original light beer since 1975, and it still hits different.
