All right, Smyrnoff, official vodka of the NFL, world's number one vodka. Chris Cody, you're with me here. Smeanor! Wow, you're on the money with Smearnoff. Spirnoff. I'm going to ask you, Chris, what's your favorite game day food? Smearnoff. That's your favorite game day drink.

What's your favorite game day food? Smearnoff. All right, here's the deal. Game day is everything. The noise, the rituals, the passion, the dip, the wings, the dip again. Smearnoff. Smeernav. belongs in that mix because if you're tailgating or hosting or just sitting there checking

your fantasy lineup every 30 seconds, you need... Fair enough! Otherwise, it's not a real game day. They've been doing it since 1864, which is... I don't even want to do the math. It's a long time. It's like when Greg Cody was born. They're award-winning.

They make cocktails super easy, and they're all about bringing fans together. So yeah, we do game days. That's their thing. And if you're over 21, you should do. Why, Chris?

Please drink responsibly. Smer it off. Number 21 vodka distilled from grain, 40% alcohol by volume, the Smer enough company. New York, New York, please do not share with anyone under legal drinking age. Mare enough. Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Quervo invented tequila. Quervo.

What are you doing here? Quervo. Anytime someone says Quervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during and reads, like... Quervo. I think you could lay out, especially from one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious quervo. Since then, Cuervo is stayed true to its roots.

The same family, the same land, the same passion. Quervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all. Quervo. Quervo. The tequila. That invented tequila. Broximo.

Quervo.com. Please drink responsibly. Quervo. This is the Dan Levator show with the Stucats podcast. Let's start with the good news. That's good news. Red Cody's alive and well. Okay, okay.

I know everyone mated breath yesterday. We made a couple of jokes. People felt it was in poor taste. We didn't really get any confirmation from Greg himself yesterday. People were worried. But the good news is he's alive. He's awake. he's well. The surgery was a success.

Great. But you said good news, so is there bad news? There is bad news, man. It is actual bad news. It's actual legit shit news. So last night, or early this morning, I should say, Miami Heat head coach Eric Spolstra's house burnt down. Like for real, it's not one of those where the house, oh, it caught on fire. Like a Tyrant Hill situation. Right, right, right. Like, Eric Spolster's house isn't there anymore. It looks like the LA fires. Like, burnt, done. And so I heard this story early this morning. I was under the impression that the team was still on the road. And I'm like, oh, that's messed up to have to find out, you know, on the news.

He probably got back home, like the middle of the night. He was there, yeah. So they got back from the trip, and then the fire was reported at 4.30 in the morning. Oh, my God. And, like, the news video there has him outside his house, like just standing there, staring at it. And, you know, I have a lot of friends who lost their houses in the L.A. 5. And there's, there really is nothing that you can compare that to in terms of that feeling that you've lost everything. And it's not about the material things.

It's not about, obviously, Coach Spoh has made a lot of money. He can buy a new house. He can rebuild this house. That's not the issue. The issue is all the things that can't get replaced, right? All the like personal effects, all pictures and memories and things. Obviously, when you have kids, your kids' favorite things, your kids, the report card where they got all A's and all that stuff, and that's all gone. And sometimes, like, that's the stuff that it's hard to explain to a child, right, or children.

We can't replace it. It's done. It's gone. It was a memory, and now we've got to move on. I feel terrible for him. Yeah. I really do. Like, I feel, I feel like, especially growing up, you all have that.

Everybody thinks, like, well, you know, if your house don't. fire, well, what will be the thing that you grab, you know, to make sure it doesn't get burnt down, you know? And of course, for me, it's my championship rings. But everybody's like, hey, what would it be the thing that you grab? Well, you can grab anything. Like, the whole house burnt down. Like, it's gone. I feel awful for him.

At that point, it's more important to get your family and you out safely, right? Like, yeah, some things are irreplaceable, but also it's about being safe, right? So it's like, there's things that are replaceable. Some things are not replaceable, but in the grand scheme of things, 5, 10, 20 years down the road, not going to make that big of a difference. The most important thing is everybody's safe. If there were kids in the house, kids are safe. Well, you do assume it was just him, considering he likely got back in the middle of the night.

You never know. But at least, you know, everything, humans are safe. The news is everyone is safe. There's no one was hurt. You're right, Tony, that's the first thing you worry about. That's the first place your brain goes to. And you say, thank God. And, you know, you count your blessings.

When do they play again? But then there's a thing they play tomorrow. Tomorrow, yeah. But then there's a, there's a beat. Oh, shit, we got to do everything all over again. 100%. And again, like, you know, I hope I'm not speaking out of turn here, but like Rachel Nichols' house burnt down in those LA fires.

And just the idea of that her kids having adjust to living in a new house and the school, like everything that they know, right, the Walgreens they went to, done, the school, the public library. Like all the things that was there. life are done. And I think it's like, all right, where are you going to go live right now, you know, for the next, however, maybe the rest of the season. Right, right. So I guess my thing is like when you're talking about kids, as adults, I think, I don't know if you went through this ass. I remember before I had kids, I live anywhere. I live anywhere. I mean, that's not

a great neighborhood. It's a great deal, though. I'll live there. And then you have kids are like, I don't want to live in the neighborhood. What's the school district? Like all these other things start to take precedent in the decision-making. So same thing here. It's like, if I were a single dude with no children and everything, my house burned down, I'd be mad. Obviously, if I lost personal items that can't be replaced, I'd be distraught. But there's a part of me like, okay, deal with it, move on, next day.

What are we going to do? What are you going to do? You're going to cry about it. It's gone. It's done. It ain't coming back. But when you have kids in the equation, that's a little hard. It's harder.

It's harder to tell them to move on. Yeah, I mean, look, not to speak out of turn. He's divorced from the kid's mother. Like, who knows how often the kids actually live with him, especially during NBA season. Sure. But for me, it's more about, like, that's all your shit. It's all your shit.

And now you have no shit. And it's like, figure it out. And that's me is, man, that gives me a lot of just thinking about it. Even if the kids are there every other week. that's still my room that's still my stuff that's still the thing that I might have said I take it with me back to my

I just leave it I'll get it next time and I was gone and again it's it sounds like I'm talking about material things but we're not no man this is real stuff man the emotional connections that people make and specifically that children

make that as I said an adult can move past it and now you've got to make yourself a new home that sucks man yeah no it's it's It's a tough situation. And again, people can be like, oh, you know, he makes a ton of money. Like, he'll be okay.

Well, of course he's going to be okay. But it doesn't take away from, you know, what I'm sure is a massive emotional toll that he is dealing with right now. So prayers out to the spolster family hope. Like that's the worst thing, right? Like outside of family members being sick or family members dying, losing your home is the next worst thing, right? Yeah. No, I mean, like, yes. After, if we're the Maslow's hierarchy of needs, right?

Like, number one is, is everyone safe and healthy? Yeah. Right? Boom. That's great. Okay. The next thing is shelter. Yeah, now you don't have a place to live.

I don't have a place to live. Or, you know, or for millions of Americans who are dealing with the government shut down and the removal of snap benefits, like being able to eat. Like, these are the very next things on the human need hierarchy. So health? something to eat somewhere to stay so schumer shut down our thoughts are with the spolster family i hope everybody's okay uh both physically mentally and emotionally but to add insult to injury bam out of bio got hurt last night foot injury early in the game kind of a sneaky injury because

i was watching the game and then it was less bam's not there and it's like oh he's hurt and i was yeah did they ever show any kind of replay because it was like mid first quarter and eric Reed was just all matter of fact, you know, Bam's gone to the locker room, he's questionable return. He was like, what? I saw one, one angle where he's just running up the floor and then all of a sudden

pain, right? I don't know. We don't have the details as far as what exactly, what part of his foot, but obviously this is a huge blow to the heat. They're off to, despite, you know, what's a 500 record or whatever? A positive

start to the season. Really tough schedule to start the season too. 500 with the West Coast trip at the start of the season. That's pretty good. Yokic took full advantage. He had his seventh career game of 30, 15, and 15 plus. He's a good player. He's solid. Keep an eye on.

MVP? If we're, oh, you know what? Hold on, hold on. We'll slow down. Before we get into that talk, let me just give you guys a stat of the day. An early stat of the day. Start of the day, start of the day.

This year, start of the day, start of the day, start of the day. This year, start of the day, start of the day, start of the day, in this year, start of the day, start of the day, start of the day, in this year, start of the day. So, last night, Nikoliyokic led the nuggets in points, rebounds, and assists, but also he was the high man for the game, even over anyone in the heat in points, in rebounds and assists.

That's the 78th time he's done that in his career. That's the most by any players since the 76 NBA-A-B-A merger. Second place, LeBron James, 68. So hold on, let's run that back again. So Yokic had more points, rebounds, and assists than anybody.

More points than anybody, more rebounds than anybody, more assists in anybody in the game. And he's done that 78. 78 times, and the number two guy on the list is LeBron, who's done it 68 times, 10 less times, despite playing, what, 11 years, more than Yokic's play. Good player. MVP? How good of a player? M.

V be of the day. Zaz? Yeah. I know there's fatigue about this guy. I know he's won a bunch already, but he's already in mid-season playoff form. Nicole Yoch, my MVP of the day. So if we're having a conversation about MVP,

you got to include Yokic? I have to. Even if he's not playing well, I have to include him because I know at some point he's going to turn it on and he's going to be better than everybody else on the court and in the league. So right now, today, Yolkich, my MVP. Just to clear things up for me and the audience.

Go on. Conceptually. Is this an MVP of the day, like the imaging suggests, or are we still doing King of the Mountain style? Like, Yokoch is still trying to climb over Hockes. This is who is in the MVP conversation. In the bar. Yeah, that's what this is. All right.

So it's like Maxi and Hockes. If you've been listening, those guys have been in the conversation. That's right. Oh, okay. I thought it was King of the Mountain style. Like, you've got to take them down. Knock them out. The MVP Conversation Bar, which is adjacent to this segment, but still I believe we're all in the same canon, the same universe.

It's a bar. There's a guy outside a bouncer. If you're not in the MVP conversation, you can't get in the bar. That's right. Right? So, for example. It's like the Heisman Club. Yeah, a little bit like. Like Heisman House. of the day

Thank you I'll tell you what I'll give you an example Were you about to do it again? Yeah Yeah yeah yeah You know about those nuggets That's right

That's right I'll give you an example right Anthony Edwards Great player Right Has been in the MVP Conversation bar Last couple of years

He's not in right now Right now Bounce is that Sorry big dog I can't do it I haven't seen that fool We're full today We're full today It's like hold on

check back with me. He's doing, the bouncer is doing all that stuff. I'm on Hawkes' his list. Well, I don't know if Hockes. Hock has had a brief stint. No, no, no.

He's in the, he got in. He got in. If we're having a conversation on MVP, Jaime Hockes is in the conversation. Let me get that car. He got there for happy hours. Let me take. Sometimes, Mike, you can get in the bar

and they can eject you out. Yeah. You could be asked to leave. Is he at that point? Has he been asked to leave? No, I don't think he's been asked to leave, but the problem is that Yokchch came in with match, Serbians.

Yep. So it's like, all right, we're how, we don't have that much space. So Anthony Edwards is at the velvet robe saying, you don't remember me? I spent a lot of money here. Yes, that's exactly what he's saying. But you know what? At some point, maybe the bounces is, all right, man, you got it. What's your name?

What's your name? I want your name. This is going to be so funny for you. I know the owner of this place. Just wait. The other part of the MVP conversation is the guys are in there. Okay, so you're in the bar. But they're all standing in a circle.

and the guy standing in the middle of the circle he's got a drink in his hand and he's telling the craziest story and everyone's silent, just watching. That's the guy who's the front runner for MVP. The closer you are to that guy, the more your chances of being MVP is. Maybe you're also trying to jump in.

Like, hold on. Like SGA was there telling the story, but the yoghits came and said, no, hold on. Wait, listen to this. Yeah, listen to this. Exactly. The farther you are out, you're in the conversation,

but you're an earshot. You're not really saying anything. You're just listening. You're a listener. So, Hockaz, for whatever he was in the bar, he's... It's kind of peeking over the crowd. He's just happy to be here. He's like, oh, my God, I can't wait to tell everybody.

I was at the bar, and it was Yokic, and it was Shea, and it was Luca. And Wembe was there. He was open to than everybody. I think right now the guy in the center that you're talking about there is Luca. Wow. Luca is the one who's doing story time holding the drink. But I'm going to tell you something. If we're going to have a conversation about MVP,

we better have a conversation about Kate Cunningham. That's right. The Pistons last night improved a six and two. Hold on. Hold on. He needs imaging. This just does not feel right without it. So there's two.

He's in the bar. M. V. The. Of the day. I mean, Flair was cutting a promo during commercial. break. What are we doing? If we're going to have a conversation about MVP, uh-huh. Kate Cunningham's in that conversation right now. What do you know about Kate Cunningham?

I know about Kate Cunningham. You know what? You know about Kate Cunningham? Pistons are now 6 and 2. Kate Cunningham, 31 points. 10 assists last night. If we're going to talk MVP, somebody better be talking about Cade Cunningham. That's somebody sounds like it's me. Buddy, you know when I was talking about Cade Cunningham? When? Last year. Okay. Last year's last year. Yeah, but I was on the mountain already. You're not familiar with his very high stakes bit of getting highly touted prospects and having the gall to say this guy might be good someday? Are you not familiar with that?

That's your bit? That's my bit. I would lose that. He identifies a couple of people that he thinks have high ceilings and he says, watch out for this guy. And then when they're all pros, he pretends like he's calling cowherd. Watch out for this number one overall pick. Is that what you're saying?

There was a lot of people down on him. A lot of people didn't like the pissings. He was hurt. I know. That's what I was saying. That was my point. He's hurt. in the conversation right now. He's in the bar.

Let me tell you something. Coach of the year, you better be having a conversation about Tiago Splitter. Whoa. How about career-defining win? Dude. Can you have a career-defining win? Are they putting Chauncey Billups under the jail?

What I understand, poor than Joe Blazers fans, we're thrilled that Chauncees on the coach. I mean, it's a small sample, right? But this team is as a great, would one say, awesome. They just handed the defending champs to their first laws. Man, with an asterisk.

You remember that game two in 2013? Shut out. When LeBron blocked the interim head coach of the Portland Trailblazers blocked him right at the rim. Shit was awesome.

One of the best moments of my life. Yeah. I hate Johnsy Billups. What? Yeah. I hate him too. Dude. Absolutely should not be in the Hall of Fame.

Absolutely not. Oh, you guys are nuts. Oh, you're nuts. In the tier of opposing basketball team hate, Knicks aren't in my top two. Really? I swear. And I hate the New York Knicks. Wait, who's one?

Number one, and they did a lot to earn it. Celtics. They did a lot to earn it. It was a Celtics. Really? Number two, I hated that Pistons team. They were a roadblock from Miami. Pistons over Nix?

Dude, think of this Pistons team. Okay, but is it Pistons over Nix now because of your memories or are you taking yourself back to the time and place? I'm taking myself back to, and I had an intense hatred for the Nix. That went for several years. But the Pistons thing went for several years. There's only one year they knocked them out. Yeah, well, that's true. That's true.

But the Pistons... Nick's knocked out three times in a row. See, I disagree with you, Mike, here, because I hated the Pistons, too. Do you remember Rashid Wallace's face? It's a stupid face. It's a stupid face. Mr. Big Shot, I hated the Pist's face, too. Be careful, guys.

I care about you. Don't you remember Pat Riley? His shot is like snow falling off a bamboo leaf. That's the highest compliment Pat Riley's ever bestowed upon him. But the Heat never got past the Knicks during that stretch. Like, the Heat got, they slayed the Pistons and they won the title. But you're with me, though. Sneaky team in terms of like the history of this franchise.

Oh, I hated those pistons. People would probably say Pacers ahead of the Pistons. No, no, we own them. If you never lose to them, then you can't be. But it was always so close, though, that's the thing. Nah, we made them believe it was close. It wasn't close. It was never a moment.

It was never a time of Heat fans. You weren't afraid of David West? They were down 2-1. in 2013. Dude, the Dexter Pittman start? It got a little dicey. The Dexter. It got a little dicey.

You're going to lie to me? Tell me you we're afraid of David West. You're going to lie to me right now? Wayne Wade went to Tom Crean. He ran into Tom Crean's warm bosom. It got a little dicey. Down two games and one down by 10 at half time in game four. It got a little dicey.

I'll admit. I'll admit. Tranty Billups should not be in the Hall of Fame. Absolutely is a Hall of Fame. Absolutely he's all a favor. I mean, Tronty Billups one time in his career was all NBA. One time. It was all NBA, third team, too, by the way.

So you're telling me... We don't split hairs on that. That's not splitting hair. It's a real thing. You're all-in-all-M-A. Anyway. No, that's not true at all. You're all-M-A.

You're all-M-A. You're all-M-A. You're all-M-A. You're saying there's not a difference between all-M-A first team and all-M-A third team. Anyway, we'll table at discussion. He was three-time All-MBA. Thank you very much. Really?

He's a five-time All-Defensive team. He's a finals MVP and gold medalist. Was he ever all-M-A second team or only jerked up? Yeah. I was emotional during those games, too. I thought he was only All-N-B-A-13. Was he ever all-n-b-a-second? He was All-League.

Here we go. Sorry. Second team, second team, second team. Really? He's never 13. He was 13. What doesn't matter? He's going to jail for life.

Tiago Splitter. Like, he is the lead, he is the star witness for the FBI. Tiago Splitter. He's the guy with the modulated voice on Pablo's podcast. Oh, I just started running stuff in the half court. then I heard a good shot I said close out Is gut shot the phrase of the year

I mean for those of us who don't play poker This concept of gutshot I'm like oh I kind of like it I like the idea of like How do you explain like this Hail Mary blind faiths It's gut shot Like ugh Quick time out here

Dan Lebertard. To us, residents. Oh, wow. That's pretty good. It's in there. Better. I think I haven't been practicing? Stugats. Oh, oh. I didn't realize we had a substitute complicated legacy. Brought you by headquarters to Toyota, huh? 441 and Powerline Road. Second out of nine. This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats.

Speaking of the sound, here's a transition for you. I'm waiting to see where it is. What it was going on here? Not the... Steen Brussels sprouts. You're going to say not the Tony Romo? Not the Tony Romo.

That's a different kind of, uh, right? It's a little bit more elongated. It's a little bit more sensual. That's not where I'm going. I'm going with more like a gutter or like an action. That was like a... Oh, it's on the... We're just changing the pitch.

So we're having a conversation and Tony says, out loud, this new Running Man movie, is it a remake? And I said, you've never seen the Running Man. You've never even heard of it before this. So what are your impressions of the Running Man? Like, of what you've seen? But he's running.

He's running, right? That boy's running. So I figured out what it was, right? It's Forrest Gump. With Bountygate, basically. Like, I was watching the commercial, obviously. They play them on the NBA games or whatever, and I'm like, I like the concept.

Basically, bounty hunters chasing a guy for 30 days. If he eludes them, you make a billion dollars. Okay, I'm in. I like the idea. I like the story. So I asked him, it's got to be a reboot, right? There's no way that this is an original concept that just made it to 2025. The Running Man is...

Is it a remake or is it a sequel? It's a remake. It's a remake because the original, which came on 1990, I want to say, was massive. It's the type of action movie that, yeah, man, the global audience love. It's right behind you. I want you to turn around. Ah, yes, I'm the Running Man. Wow.

Tony, no matter. However good or bad the new one is going to be. You have to watch. You're telling me OG Running Man was goaded. Goaded. Wow. Goated. And in it, so it's a TV show.

It's kind of pressing in a way because it's like a reality show. Yeah, it's reality shows are big. Reality show and people are like, we can either sentence you to death or you can star on the run. So is he a criminal? He's framed. Of course. He's framed.

Of course. And then they give him the choice. Do you want execution? Or you can play the game. So he decides to play the game. But he's the best contestant ever at the running man. And the guy who's the executive producer of the show is like, no, no, we can't have this get messed up. So he starts cheating and increasing the levels of difficulty.

Excellent movie. 1987. 187 is running, man. Wow. Richard Dawson was the game show host. Really stretched his chops hair. Well, I thought he, you know what? Richard Dawson was ass off because he wasn't just a game show host, which is what he does in real life.

He was a villain. He also had the only comeback to I'll be back that I've ever seen in a Schwarzenegger movie. He said, only in a rerun. Got his ass. That's a good line. Oh, man. So you're saying, I got to watch the O.E. I think you should. I think you should. Maybe after you watched the new one, maybe before. I don't know, but I know you have to watch it at some point because it really is a fun movie, man.

It's back when action movies or action movies. Jim Brown was in there. Yep. Jim Brown was one of the guys. I think it looks cool. Man, you never seen Running Man. Shame on you. You've seen Running Man? Yeah, I've seen Running Man. Not the new one. You're not allowed to do that. Why? You can see Rambo. After yesterday's hijinks. Whatever. I've never seen Rambo. Who cares? And we discovered something this morning. What's that? I'm embarrassed to say this. Don't even say it. Don't be embarrassed. Don't even say it.

It's embarrassing. Zaz doesn't know about that 007. It's crazy, man. I never seen a single James Bond movie. That's a sucker move. That's a sucker move. What I tell you about calling me a sucker? I already told you.

I've never seen a single James Bond movie. It doesn't even matter the actor. And here's the thing, though, I mean, here's the thing. I know I would like them. So it's not like I haven't seen them because I don't think it's got. I know I would like it. Quantum of Salas? Oh.

Those Daniel Craig James, like I don't really care about the ones for it. The Daniel Craig ones? Fire. Movies look awesome. Think about a movie called Quantum of Salas. I don't know what it means. I know it's the coolest name of a movie I've ever heard in my life. Quantum of Salas.

You've seen that Quantum of Salas? Well, of course I've seen it. Casino Royale. Yeah, the movies look good. I've never seen it. So, you never played Golden Eye? Yeah, man. I don't know if I never played.

I never had it. I never owned it. You don't know about that GoldenEye? That's the only thing that you need from the 007. I know about GoldenE. No, Golden T is. I don't even know what that is. It was a big dog pimping? Golden T is an arcade game where you have to get the ball,

but sometimes the ball isn't properly... Oh, the heads at the Yale house all the time. Lubricity, as Braun-Strauman would call it. Gold and I was the greatest video game of all time. Spector? Yeah, you can keep naming all the films. I already told you. I never seen them. You don't know about that slappers only?

That's not a real name. No, no, no, it's a game mode. You can go big head mode. What was the best state? complex where you go slappers only you climb through the vents and you don't have whatever man have a gun so the way to win the game and the multiplayer it's like elimination it's kind of like the running man you go up and you just all right sorry once spent all my time on video games I was hook up with girls in 19 you're

watching wrestling yeah what are you talking about girls are you watching wrestling is come on no one believes that that Zaz in 97 there's a movie called Tomorrow Never Dies now not only is that all he's in that not only is not only is Is that title cool as hell? Tomorrow never dies. But the premise of the movie in 1997 was there's a billionaire who controls and owns newspapers all over the world so then he just starts creating fake news to create conflict

to fuel his business. That's awfully foreshadowing. That's right. In 97, 1997. Wow. Ninety-seven. You got to watch that bond, man. Okay, so like what, do you want,

Do I go back in time, or do I just watch the Daniel Craig? What do I do? They're different world, basically, right? You don't have to have one. There's a multiverse in James Mayan. Of course. There's eight different James Bond's. No, but it's a singular universe.

Yeah. Everything that happens has consequences. There's a 007, and it's just, you know, they film these movies in different time period. So Bond has different tech. You have to suspend that kind of disbelief. Do I have to, okay, so let's say I'm just going to watch the Daniel Craig once. Do I have to start for the beginning? Like, do, if I didn't see the one before, I'm going to be screwed?

I think the best thing to do is you pick an actor, a James Bond actor, and then you start from his first movie and go on. So, in other words, the Pierce Brosnan ones have no bearing on the Daniel Craig ones. Right. But don't start the Daniel Craig one with, like, Casino Royale or whatever. That's what I'm saying. You want to start with the first, actually, Casino Royale was the first one, yeah. You don't want to start with, like, Skyfall, whatever. You start with Casino Royale, then Quantum of Salas, then Skyfall.

Specter. And finally, no time to die. My man said, hey man, you got to die right now. I'm like, I ain't got time. Let me check in my Omega. No time. No time. And also, product placement. Yeah, beautiful. They mastered product placement. You want to see that new Audi? Yeah. You watch that. You know about that Aston Martin? I used to drive an Audi. Whatever. Just saying.

Here. Good for you. You don't know about that Octopussy? I know about Octopussy. If we're talking about the same one, I don't know if we all. I don't know. I mean, you were probably in high school when GoldenEye came out on N64. It's a moment in time. I was definitely not in high school. How old do you think I am? Dude, I was in college.

I was in college and that's all we played. You dress like you're 22. There you go. See, I'm young. But you are the living embodiment of the Steve Buscemi. What's up, fellow kids? Type of. Type beat.

Yeah, that's a vibe right. Yeah. type of energy. On Fox 1, you can stream your favorite live sports, so you're there for the biggest moments as they happen. For me, I cannot deal with spoilers, so I need to see it live, especially on college football Saturdays and NFL Sundays. With Fox 1, you get it all.

Fox One, we live for live for live, streaming now. Don Levatard. 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. Speaking of video games, Donovan Mitchell last night had a video game type night. He scored 46 points. Darius Garland finally. Oh, yeah.

Shout out to Derrits Garland. Yeah, there you go. But here's the real transition. He credited his 46 point outburst to a kid that was talking trash to him on 2K the night before. And he was like, all right, you know what? I'm going to show you because the kid said you're washed. Man. Wow.

Those kids on those games, they can get your blood boil. They're nasty? I don't even open the portal anymore. Just everything on mute. No headsets. Don't try to talk to me. Am I the only one who's like, I don't want Donovan Mitchell playing 2K under his own name.

If you want to be... You need the burner? Yeah. Yeah, man. If you have Jack Spade, all right, that's cool. Shut out Jack Spade. Spite of Mitchell, 45. Yeah, come on, man.

And now it's like you're getting into it with kids online. And yeah, he scored 46. and ha-ha. But it's just like, what if you had a bag in? First of all, he wouldn't tell us, but that kid would be going around. Like, I knew it. I told him he was washed. Right. How many times did the kid tell him he was washed and he had a stinker the next game? We didn't know about it. Wow.

Is that an actual conversation? I don't know. I'm just jumping back in here on the sport. Donovan Mitchell seems like he's in his prime. He is, but kids are kids. If you're 12 years old. So it sees on an insecurity. He's probably asking himself, do I still got it? It's pretty good last year.

He said, here's a quote. This kid pissed me off today. I'm sorry, it wasn't even the night before. This kid pissed me off today. I was playing 2K. I told him two, I was like, just wait, just wait. And he just called me washed up. He called me a bunch of things, but I love it.

He's saying he ain't seen a highlight for me in a minute. And I just told him, all right, we'll see. This game was for that kid or grown man. Whoever that was, I appreciate you. I told him I'd give him a shout out too. He may have a catfish. We need to find that guy or that kid. Whoever is, we can find him.

Allison, can we get the kid Who called? Find the kid that called him washed Mitchell washed But think about that, you're the kid And then you see Spite of Mitchell 45 Or whatever his username is

And you're like, there's no way, right? They can't be. Yeah, how do you get them to prove it? You're like, yo, are you? Are you talking about it? The voice, I guess. If you're chatting on the voice, you hear the voice.

There's no way this was a kid. That kid looks like stavi, baby. Not a kid. He was good in the new movie. right? You went and saw that movie with that? Yeah, Bagonia? Yeah, he was awesome. He's coming down here. Yeah, I keep getting ads for that. Targeted, I guess. I'll ask. That's your algorithm?

Yeah. What's yours? Boobes, man. It's a good algorithm. Yeah, not mine. But yes, Avi was incredible in that movie. Not a large cast. He really stuck out because there were like five people in the movie. But, yeah, it was great. That's a great... Emma Stone's just going to do this thing where every year she's like, I'm going to make a movie that'll get me in this conversation.

I'm going to make a movie that's really weird on surface. I'm going to make this, like, yeah, that everyone comes away with that performance was incredible. That's just, I'm a... Isn't amazing? Like, do you guys have that same feeling? She's a little Kwai Leonard, Jimmy Butlerish, or it's like, the start of her career, like, oh, yeah, it's a fun, doing fun little kid movies. Easy A, it's a super bad. Yo, you're one of the best actors in the game?

Now she might play herself in a Jordan territory where there's Jordan MVP fatigue. Oh, no way. No fatigue. I thought this performance was better than poor things. I love this movie. That movie looks so weird. Poor thing? Poor things.

Yeah. Poor things was. And I didn't really like it. You would think that it would be made for someone like me. But, no, I wasn't. I understand why she won for her performance. It was, you know, she was very committed doing crazy things in that. It's a lot like your Algo.

But this one, this one's probably closer to Tony's Algo in terms of the subject matter that they tackle. What's that supposed to mean? It's a post-truth type of. film. That's your gimmick. Yeah. I don't know what's going on there. I don't know what that's supposed to be. The whole movie is based on these two guys

kidnap this CEO who they are convinced. Bologna. Yeah. Who they are convinced is an alien. Why is it called Bagonia? That's her name, right? I'm not exactly sure why it's called Bagonia. Okay. Do they say the word Bagonia in the movie? Does anyone go ah, he said it? He said it.

Is Bogonia even a word? It doesn't mean. It's a It's like a plant, yeah. Yeah. My begonias. So it's not like the planet that she's from or anything like that. My petunias. Oh, man.

Begonia sounds right. I think begonia is a word, right? Yeah, there's a lot of bees. What's a begonia? Here we go, Google. What's a begonia? Now, begonia is a genus of perennial flowering plants with more than 2,000 species. Ata boy.

Native to moist, tropical, and subtropical climates. Shout out to us. I don't get the reference. Really. Maybe I have to watch it again. I don't really see a lot of plants in that film. So it happened to you a lot that you see a movie. You don't understand it?

I don't understand the title. What was the last time that happened to you? Tenet. Don't know what that means. Stupidest movie. It was the dumbest movie ever. I, like, I watched that. I remember, Tenet, if you guys remember, came out in the middle of the pandemic.

Like, the middle of the pandemic. I risked my life for that. In theaters. And I said, this is the movie. You guys remember me. I grew my hair out. I wouldn't go to the bar, but I wouldn't go out. I wouldn't do anything other than go get groceries.

That's it. I was living life like it was Mad Max. But I said the one thing I will risk my life for is a Christopher Nolan movie with John David Washington. I'm there. I have never been more. To this day, I still don't understand what the fuck that movie is about. Neither did it is Christopher Nolan. It's, I don't know.

It's the worst movie. Look cool as hell in trailer. It does look cool. It did. It looked cool. He definitely nailed the looking cool part of the movie. Let's go back in the gun. Stop it.

But they're still talking forward. Like, if we're moving backward, won't I? So stupid. Who's the kid Robert Pattinson? Who cares? He gives his shit. This is bad. And he got the leads.

Totally mixed up. Oh, you think Pattinson should be down there. John Devin, Washington was done after that. It was beyond his depth, perhaps? I don't think he had that much range. It never was. It was a great performance in Black Klansmen, right? But it was the subject matter.

I think a lot of people could have played that role. and if you watched Ballers, you're like, this guy's got his limits. That was my problem. I'm watching Tenet, and I'm like, that's Ricky Jarrett. I can't see anything past Ricky Jarrett. Boy, he's taught in five movies after that. And they all flopped.

Yeah. Black Plansman didn't flop. No, no, no, after that. After that. The box office has told you. Don't make him your leading man. Is that one movie where he's trying to find the kid who is the key to like life? The creator?

It was a huge flop. Malcolm and Marie Beckett, Amsterdam, the creator. the piano lesson. Malcolm of three movies. It was a good one. Sucked. Probably Malcolm Murray. No, it was like, it was an artsy movie.

Amsterdam was a huge flop, but it had a lot of people in it. That wasn't him. He was in the lead, though. No, I don't know. That was a huge ensemble. That was just a big-time flop. Tenet, not a big movie. Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began.

In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Quervo. What are you doing here? Quervo. Anytime someone says, Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during And reads like... Quervo.

I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious quervo. Since then, Quervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Quervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all. Quervo. Quervo.

The tequila. That invented tequila. Broximo, quervo.com. Please drink responsibly. Cuervo.
