is the Dan Levitore show with the Stugats podcast.
So it's rare that I have a day off from doing anything, like to where I actually just have a
whole day to myself. And it was really nice because yesterday I was able to catch up on some
things that I haven't been able to do around the house, which included fixing our dryer,
which has been broken for two and a half months. Now, I didn't fix it. I had to hire someone to do
so because I am not a mechanical person.
There you go. But one of the best feelings...
Like a real member of the tribe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, come on. You think I can fix anything with my hands?
Me?
Me? No, never.
But one of the great feelings that can exist is when you hire someone to come do something
that you know nothing about and you leave that experience feeling like you weren't ripped off.
Because most of the time I feel like somebody got something over on me here.
but the price that was discussed is what you actually pay.
They actually find a way to fix something with a cheaper thing than what you thought maybe a part you were going to have to replace and even recommend things you can do to maintain that appliance or things like that.
So for me, my experience in this situation was huge.
It helps my relationship with my wife.
We can actually dry our clothes as opposed to putting them on a clothing rack like we're some sort of European family.
and I think that's worth a toast.
Oh.
Yeah.
And worth a toast is presented by Cuervo.
Keep it fun.
Keep it Cuervo.
Yeah.
All right.
There you go.
Thank you, Quervo.
All right.
How about that?
I have a couple questions here to add.
Well, actually, number one, I will let you know.
I had a clothes line growing up.
As a kid, we had a clothes line in our backyard.
And, yeah, my mother, she would put the clothes on the clothes line.
And, you know, God forbid it starts raining.
You got to run out there with a hamper, and you've got to take the clothes off the clothes line.
In that, let me tell you, I had a great backyard as a kid.
Yeah?
We had, what'd you have back there?
We had an orange and a grapefruit tree.
Oh, wow.
Wow.
Right?
That's actually really, truly great.
We had an orange and a grapefruit tree.
Did you make fresh squeezed orange juice and grape juice all the time?
Of course.
Oh, what a life.
Dave, how about that?
How about that?
Well, first of all, the best smell in the world is the orange blossom.
Oh, twice a year.
it comes around and it fills the air in my heart and uh and it's the best grapefruit is a bad fruit
and it's also the laziest name fruit you understand that they're that when they were named in the grapefruit
they're like what should we call this big orange orb by the way you know in orange is named the
the the the the fruit orange preceded the color orange being named orange which is i
I think the mind-blowing fact I've literally have ever heard in my life.
The orange.
Like what should we call it?
The fruit was named orange before the color was named orange.
I can't fathom it.
I don't believe you.
Now dig what's true.
You can look it up while you're trying to pick yourself up off the floor from that one.
You know, so they're naming the great fruit.
Shoot, you put it on the poll.
What came first?
The fruit named orange or the fruit?
color named orange. Go ahead, Dave. It must have been about 458 p.m. on Friday when they were at the
fruit factory trying to figure out what they were going to call the grapefruit. They're like,
what should we do here? Like, I mean, grapefruit? Like, well, how could we call it a great?
Well, there's already a fruit called grape. And it has nothing to do with this giant orange circle.
A grape, as we know, it is this oblong smaller thing. Like, well, you know what? It's now 459. Let's just
with grapefruit. Let's get out here. I'll see you all on Monday. That has to be the way it went down.
How else would you explain that they did this late, not only lazy, but confusing act.
We already have a frie. It's the same thing as in football. You have two things called safety.
It's not like we ran out of words. We just ran out of, you know, effort is real. So you have
the last line of defense, you know, the guy back there, the two guys back there, they're their last
So if everything else goes haywire, at least we have the safety back there to clean things up.
Okay, that makes sense.
Now, when a 300-pound man falls on you on purpose in the end zone, that's not safe.
That's dangerous.
But they call it a safety, and then they give you two points for it.
And then they make the most exotic symbol in all of sports for referees, the safety call, which salvages it.
But otherwise, it makes no sense it's called a safety.
Choo-Joo, put it on the poll as well.
is the safety signal the referee gives the most exotic.
I got news for you here, Z.
Why did he do it like walk like an Egyptian?
The earliest uses of the word in English refer to the fruit,
and the color was later named after the fruit.
Before the English-speaking world was exposed to the fruit,
the color was referred to as yellow-red or red-yellow.
What the hell?
Orange, glad you learned that fact.
I just bungled me.
No, that'll show them.
Kick her out.
Yike her out of here.
Give her the laugh.
That's what she comes up with after the cynicism about this.
You, Trista, you did it too.
Once you put your hands over your head like this,
there's no choice but to do the walk like in a ship.
Wow.
A penalty for that one?
She's got to go.
Butchered it on the way out too on a bad joke.
Wow.
If you're going to land bad joke, at least land it.
Yeah, that was, I mean.
Also, I would want to put in as an asterisk here.
You got the safety gesture.
I want to call the blocking foul one of the most exotic ones.
You have one right here.
Can I ask you again, though, Tony, what is it you put?
What was that word again?
An asterisk.
Okay.
All right.
What do you think I said?
Nope.
So two things I want to ask you then, Jeremy, about your experience.
Number one, do you like it when you invite, when you have the guy over, in your
case, he's servicing the laundry machine, or maybe it's your AC that's being fixed or
whatever, do you like it when the guy who's doing it, he's explaining, like he's teaching you?
This is a great question.
Because I'm thinking myself, I'm like, I don't care about how all of this goes.
That's why I hired you.
You're the AC guy.
You know, I do what I do, all right?
I'm not explaining to you how my work goes.
I just, I'm paying for the service.
I want you to fix it.
I'm not trying to learn anything about my AC.
No, this is a great.
question because a... But it's like I'm going through a tutorial. It depends on how condescending
they're being, right? Because it's like sometimes it's like you should have known. It's like
buddy, I don't know. I obviously don't know. If I knew I wouldn't be hiring you to come to this.
But it's like they're telling me there's this and I feel the need. I'm like, oh yeah, that makes
sense. Yeah. But I do think like I this was a perfect example actually of this working out in
that this guy was explaining things to me when he was searching for the problem. He's saying,
I wonder if it could be this. I wonder if it could be that. Then once he's
found it? All right, I'm going to fix it. And then afterward, the little bit of stuff that he
explained was just, hey, for some maintenance, there are these pods you can get, for your
washing machine, that you can, you know, use these once a month that'll help you maintain that.
Hey, even for your dishwasher, I'll send you the Amazon links myself. All you got to do for me at the
end of all this, hey, if you could write a Google review, that'd be great. Absolutely, man.
Thank you for helping me out. Dave. I think it's a tough call. What I'm picking up from
Zaslo is, though, that he is enough of an empath that he should.
feels bad doing the move. I have a really hard time doing it, but I try to force this. When they're
fixing something, I feel like I should stand there. That's my next question. That's my next question.
Be a part of it. But the move I'm trying to force Zaz is like if you need anything, I'm in the room next.
Right. And then you just remove yourself from that because I don't want to stay in there nodding along like some
like some sort of a dope or cut. I know. I know what's going on. It's not my business. Just fix it up.
My business is writing the check at the end of it.
That's the end of our transaction.
You'll find me in the other room when you're completed successfully with fixing this up.
That's the end of the relationship.
It depends on how easy the conversation is going.
And again, how talked it down to I feel.
Because oftentimes it's happening during the workday, right?
And sometimes this is actually a day where I am working from home and I'm trying to fit this in between.
And so I have, in order to avoid one of these conversations before, I have,
gone to the clock in my phone and played the sound of one of the alarms that can sound like a ringtone so that I can fake getting a phone call and then walk away and be like, hello?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then walk downstairs so they don't hear me.
Yeah, I've done it before.
You cannot because I'm more, I'm more willing to do that than to just be like,
Hey, I'm going to walk away.
That's there?
Oh, no, I could talk to the guy.
Let me know what you're done.
I'm going to be downstairs.
Yeah, I don't, you know, I don't know what the, does Tasier put, I could see him.
He's the most likely of this group to put into a bowl some goldfish and put them out there for the repair man, right, to make him feel at home.
Is that true?
Zaz, do you do anything like that?
Can I get you some chips?
We have some pretzels.
No, I mean, I'll offer them a water.
Water always.
Yeah.
Sure.
But I'm not all for a cheddar goldfish.
No, he just offers for them to sleep with his wife.
Jeez.
Showstopper.
Dave Matthew shows.
Stopper. Literally, I had a take, and it stunned me how on and also surprising that was.
I think, though, you guys are doing it wrong.
Because if you're going to be a true GC, that's general contractor for all those.
I follow Tris on social, if you don't know, she knows what she's talking about.
Listen, I am doing a lot of work on my childhood home.
And the thing that you learn very quickly is they're all a little dark web network.
and they know each other, and they can refer you to other people.
Listen, you're talking about a massive potential savings
by learning what they have to tell you.
And pushing back on, sometimes they're going to tell you things that you don't need
that if you've been keeping your eyes open, your third eye open,
you know they're finessing you.
Like, do I really need my furnace chimney to be removed?
And now my HVAC estimate is 15K, depends who,
you ask. And do I now
know Dennis who tells me he can get me a
25% discount? And I
get his wholesale price because his price is
now my price because my mom made
him a burrito and got him a 12-inch
pizza. Also, yes,
Paul's. I didn't know where that was going. Zaz,
you look to me like a guy that can do some stuff
around the house. You call guys
in to do the dirty work.
You get there on a hammer and a nail and you get
up on a ladder and start hammering stuff. I see you.
Is that kind of guy? I do nothing. I'm Jewish.
I don't take care of any of that stuff.
No, that's right. He's right. He's spot on.
So none of you guys in the tribe do anything.
No, it's why we make money.
You ever thought about it?
No.
That's how I feel about the guy when I go to get my oil change and the brother pull up.
Bro, look at your air filter.
I'm like, hey, asshole, put that back.
Get out of the plane.
Get a new one.
Oh, man.
All right, well, I'm glad you got everything fixed there yesterday, Jeremy.
Good job.
Thank you.
This is my favorite week of the summer spring.
Sports calendar. The tournament is down to its final matches. Baseball is on every night. The left
turns are turning, and every group chat starts with the same question. What are we watching?
This is the time of year where my TV barely gets a break, and I find myself reaching for that
beautiful white can of ice cold Miller light. And I'm going to invite the boys over, no doubt.
And everybody knows about the Miller Time MVP. Every group has one. The person that gets there
early, saves a table, that's an MVP. The person who brings a cooler, extra ice, and enough
Miller light for everybody, MVP. The person who makes sure nobody watches the biggest match of
the summer alone, that's a Miller Time MVP. Holy cow, folks, just realized this. I'm a Miller
Time MVP. The legendary moments start with a Miller Light, and they're made even better by a
Miller Time MVP, such as Moire. We all have that one friend who makes every game better. Now it's
time to give them their moment. Head over to any of Miller Light.
social media pages to learn more about being a Miller time MVP.
You can pick up some Miller light pretty much anywhere they sell beer.
It's Miller Time.

But he hasn't forgotten them.
Sometimes Spider-Man has to do the hard thing.
That's my responsibility.

I didn't know you could get that big.
Spider-Man, brand-new day in theaters July 31st.
Dan Lebertard.
We're going to win Stugats.
We're going to win.
What an old reference.
This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats.
I want to touch on something serious here for a moment.
No easy way to segue to it, but I want to do it anyway here.
Terrible news yesterday, Dave.
I know that you're very aware of this as well, where Claude Lemieux, who is an all-time
great NHL player, great score, all-time instigator bad boy in the National Hockey League,
multi-time Stanley Cup champion, passed away yesterday, apparent suicide that he was found in a
warehouse in Palm Beach County here that I guess his family ran a furniture business apparently down
here 60 years old Claude Lemieux dies by suicide and it's it's always shocking but it's especially
shocking when you know tonight is game five of the Eastern Conference final between Carolina and
Montreal and in game three in Montreal he was the torchbearer in Montreal he's wearing
his Canadian sweater. He played for them back in the 80s. And he's the one who had the lit torch
and got the party started game three. And it's like, oh man, that's awesome. Claude Lemieux
is lighten the torch. And, you know, he's pumping up the crowd. And two days later,
dies by suicide. Absolutely shocking to hear yesterday, Dave. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know a good
way to, again, I don't know everything to say about it, but it's always shocking when someone
passes away like that. You feel like, hey, you know, what could possibly be wrong with this
person? But then I started thinking yesterday, Dave, and like, man, you know, we're watching
him game three go out there and he's lighten the torch. And that's an unbelievable moment.
And I'm sure he enjoyed it. But what else is going on in his head in that moment? It must
have been awful. Well, you say you don't know exactly how to bring it up and what to say about
it. You know, this is nominally a sports show. And, you know, he was a luminary for a long stretch
there in a major sport. And so that alone makes it worthwhile. Yeah, you know, it also reminds
you, if you're wired, I guess, at least like my brain is, you know, one of the first things
you think of, within five seconds after hearing that dreadful news and the details and all of that
are like, man, I feel bad because I know nothing about Claude Lemieux, the three-dimensional human
being. I do know him as somebody who rooted against him against his teams. There is nobody in any
sport who I disliked more than Claude Lemieux. Easy player to hate. Easy. I hated him. And yet,
you know, then you consider, as you say, you know, what was going on here? And the behavior a couple
few days ago with the smile on his face and carrying the torch, you know, we've seen this. Unfortunately,
obviously a number of times it feels like in the last decade of you know known figures like
what what that nothing based on what we see in public would indicate that anything bad with
you know Bourdain and you know we've seen this a number of times um I you know I don't have
any insight on it obviously uh dreadful stuff and it reminds you like I say that you're
wired um as a sports fan to you know be semi petulin or other
otherwise and deluded about what you're rooting for and rooting against and all of that.
And then you sort of get a slap across the face.
Like, oh, yeah, he was a real man who had some real troubles, apparently.
Growing up in the 90s, like I remember just those battles when he was with Colorado and Colorado
versus Detroit.
And you had the Chris Draper incident.
And he was like an all-time instigator, a bad boy.
So easy to hate, so easy to root against.
And he had a very famous incident with Darren McCarty, avalanche Red Wings as well, right, Roy?
Yeah, Darren McCarty was Chris Draper's basically his best friend.
So the year after the Avalanche winner, Stanley Cup against Florida, the Western Conference Final, they played Detroit.
And that's where he boarded Chris Draper.
And wasn't that when he said after the handshake line and he said, I can't believe I shake that guy's off in hand?
Oh, okay.
I can't believe I shake that guy's eff in hand, right?
Yeah.
So Darren McCarty, the next year.
Because some guys didn't shake his hand in that line.
Yeah, correct.
Yeah.
And the next year, during the regular season in March, everybody had that date so cold because
Claude Lemieux and the couple games prior did not play.
So when you went to Detroit, police showed up.
It was like a riotous situation.
And this wasn't just like this wasn't a goon.
This was a 40 goal score.
This is a guy who several times his career scored over 30 goals.
He had a 40 goal season.
This was a big time player.
No, absolutely.
And that incident did not even start with it.
It was Peter Forsberg.
who started that incident. And then all of a sudden, Darren McCarty saw Claude Lemieux on the ice and just suck a punchd him.
I got here. Darren McCarty tweeted out yesterday. Just heard the news on Claude Lemieux.
This is extremely sad, no matter what feelings from past or present you hold.
My thoughts imperils to his family and friends and people who got to see the person off the ice wasn't the person on.
As I've said, and we'll always call it as I see it, quote, if you're on the ice with Claude Lemieux and you turn your back, you are an idiot.
But off the ice, I'll turn mine.
And please, if you're struggling at all, please reach out and talk to someone.
Godspeed, my friend.
Really nice message there from Darren McCarty.
And it also just brings me back to last week.
I know that we played this where you had that meatball, Dana White, who was doing the sit-down with whoever the woman was
and talking about mental health issues and how unattractive and unmasculent it is if you're a male.
Nobody wants to see that.
nobody wants to hear that.
I'd like to hear if Dana White thinks that Claude Lemieux is manly enough,
or if he wasn't masculine, Claude Lemieux.
You know, I'd like to hear that from Dana White.
What a stupid effing thing to say.
It was good that Darren McCarty and Claude Lemieux buried the hatchet.
They did that ahead of a 30-for-30,
or E-60 special that ESPN did about that rivalry.
So it was good to see.
Yeah, and to your points as, like, to me,
and we've talked about this a lot on the show.
Like there's nothing more human than being vulnerable.
It's presently Mental Health Awareness Month.
Like if you're someone that goes through this,
like any one of us is not quite there.
I know I'm someone who's dealt with like really high highs
and really low lows before and do like a lot of work through therapy
to get to the space where you can kind of even life out a little bit.
But there's a lot of people who never get there.
and if you're someone who's dealing with that, like reach out to the people who love you.
If you have people in your life who you love, reach out to them because you never know what's going on,
whether it's through the simple conversations that you're having via text that you think, like,
oh, we're all in a group chat together.
Like, everything's fine.
We're all just shooting the shit.
Reach out to the people that you care about.
Talk to them.
You know, this is a perfect time to do it going into the summer.
Everybody has different things going on in their lives.
Jeremy, this reminds me.
I saw, because, yeah, it is
mental health awareness month, right?
I saw this commercial
that blew me away.
I saw this commercial a couple weeks ago.
It was for mental health awareness.
And it was the commercial, you know,
like the headline was,
you never know what someone's going through.
And then it's showing it's these,
it's these two friends
who are at a soccer match.
Okay, apparently they have season tickets together,
you know, and they're at every, every week,
they're at the soccer match with each other.
And you got the two guys there,
and one of the guy, you could tell, he's like,
he's like really reserved.
Maybe he's sad, you know,
and the team scores a goal,
and the friend is super excited,
and the friend's pat him,
and he, you know, getting him excited.
But the one friend, he's, you know,
it's, you never know what someone's going through.
And every week, it's the same deal
where he's just kind of sitting there
and watching the game,
and the other friend is super pumped and super excited.
And then the last clip is the friend who is sitting down
and is, you think is sad,
it's the seat next to him then that's empty one day.
Yep.
And it was the friend who's super happy and super excited and you don't know what.
I,
that hit me.
It's a really beautiful.
I didn't see that coming.
Yeah.
I did not know that was the direction.
When it's real life.
Like that the commercial was going.
It happens all the time, right?
I mean, like the textbook example is Robin Williams.
Like I remember just being totally floored by the concept that someone is bright and who could
bring so much joy and happiness to.
the world as Robin Williams would be feeling such dark things in his own state of mind. And so,
you know, someone like Claude Lemieux that is walking out there having a triumphant moment just a few
days ago, just because this happened a few days later doesn't mean he wasn't feeling the highs of that.
Those things can happen simultaneously. And so just because someone looks to be happy or having,
you know, a happy moment doesn't mean that that those things might not be buried underneath.
So if you're also, if you're someone who's like hearing any of this and feeling any of those thoughts yourself, like 9-8-8 is is the National Suicide Hotline.
It's an incredible resource for people.
And, you know, finding therapy and talking to the people you love is another great way to go.
I think that it's almost two different conversations in a way.
I think if you're listening right now, Tashé, is you.
you and you are Tashay, I think it's a different thing with advantaged people that probably
exposes them to different sorts of emotional issues. They probably don't get a ton of pushback
for long stretches. I don't mean for, you know, a good stretch in the playoffs. I mean, you know,
for 20 years, 25 years of your life, you're getting mostly backslaps everywhere you go.
And so it is unhelpful at best for Dana White to be shooting his mouth.
off who has every advantage in the world and can be glib about things like that because he probably
is an introspective sort and can sluff off that sort of vulnerability and otherwise.
But clearly there's a percentage of people that are three-dimensional human beings that
have outwardly every advantage going for them.
You know, Pooka Nakua is, I think, now out of rehab.
And now he's thanking the Rams for being there for him.
And Sean McVeigh is saying it was really nice of Puka to open himself up.
to me like that and forgive me, but I'm a little cynical about that.
Everybody does not have.
Tashé is representing what most of us, the experience most of us have.
There are not organizations forming to help us out, so you have to take the step yourself,
I guess, is the takeaway and ignore the dopingness, multimillionaire council of Dana White,
the Meathead.
You mean organizations who are willing to just bypass biting women and anti-Semitic rhetoric,
because, hey, you know, he opened up to me.
I'm proud of him.
Hey, they have a White House performance to plan.
Don Lebertard.
John's as low.
How you love sing teams in the triple air.
Stugats.
These are smiles till the bronze again.
This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats.
So if we could segue a segue.
to something a little bit more fun.
And thanks for, I guess, everybody listening or watching.
I thought that was important to mention about Claude Lemieux.
If we could segue to something that is a little bit more fun,
so on Mystery Crate today, right?
We have Mr. Great coming out this afternoon.
I hope you guys, you listen or you watch.
We do talk about a movie that I saw at the beginning of the week,
this new horror movie called Obsession.
Oh, my, what a movie.
Dave, have you seen it?
Everyone in my family has, and they all.
All are gaga.
My wife loves horror movies.
And she is, she's, she's wild for this picture.
Yes.
Every once in a while, a movie like that comes out there.
Like, you never heard of it.
And you didn't expand.
It's just, you got to go see this movie.
This is one of those movies, all right?
Super low budget.
And I love horror films.
Didn't like it when I was younger.
Because like, I don't want to be scared.
I want to be scared for.
But horror movies these days, and I don't know how long it's been.
But, you know, like when I was growing up,
The horror movies were Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, where it's, it's just horror film for the sake of being a horror film.
Nowadays, you have horror films that these could also be good films.
You know, you got a drama that's a good movie or a comedy or an action that's a good movie.
They're also horror movies that are just legit, great movies.
And so me and my boys, we love the horror genre these days, especially.
especially from the studios like Blumhouse and like A-24.
And this movie obsession is Blumhouse.
It's like, oh, course it's going to be good.
You got to go see this movie.
So, I have a top five for you ass today.
You ready?
Wow.
Of what?
Of what?
That's right.
Top five horror movies since the year 2020 of our lord.
I don't want to do top five horror movies ever because I haven't seen all the horror movies, you know?
So we're doing, I'm doing recent horror films.
I want, I can't wait to hear this.
But also, I, I'm sorry, I have to be a curmudgeon and say, I don't know what the hell you're talking about that old horror movies aren't worthy of, uh, awards, academy and otherwise.
I mean, the exorcist and the shining.
Sure.
Sure.
Sure.
Sure.
Sure.
But I think, you're right.
But I think, I think more often now, there's a, there's a, there's a better.
chance now of also
seeing a horror film made
that is also a
really good movie. I think it's more
common. Maybe I'm wrong about that. I just,
I think it's more common now that we're not just
focused on the shock
value or the gore. We're also
trying to make these really good
movies too. Maybe I'm wrong.
Is seven
the start of that, do you think?
I don't think. Because I feel like
you could make a case that that's borderline
a horror movie, right? It's got
too, in a way, the stars are too big for it to be reduced or marginalized.
It's just a horror movie, but if you really break it down, that's what it is.
At best, think about the deaths and everything.
Yeah, at best it's borderline.
I think Seven's a thriller.
That's a suspense movie.
About Little Shop of Horrors.
Like, so I think at best that's borderline horror.
I don't, I don't think, like if we went to Blockbuster Video, I've used this example
before, right?
If you go to Blockbuster video, now don't look for Blockbuster today because they don't exist anymore.
But if we went to Blockbuster video, you know, they have the placards, their action, comedy.
Like, Seven's going to be under the suspense.
It's not going to be under horror, right?
Yeah, but in the same way that, forgive me, your beloved Pearl Jam and Nirvana begat that they have to wear the fact that the iterations that follow them are meek or worse versions like Creed.
Creed doesn't happen without Pearl Jam, and I wonder if better, you know, higher quality movies that are in the horror genre are sort of come from like, look at that. The audience will see seven.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They'll sit through. I see what you're saying. Just horrid stuff. I see what you're saying. All right, so here we go.
Top five horror movies since the year 2020. Number five, talk to me.
It's got a supernatural element to it.
It's got some gore to it as well.
These teenagers, they find this hand, okay?
And if you hold the hand and you say, talk to me.
Oh, my, you get possessed by a demon.
And it's like a high, apparently.
It's like taking drugs.
So the teenagers, they're obsessed with it.
Has anyone else seen talk to me?
I haven't seen talk to me, but I've seen idle hands when I was a teenager.
when the brother hand was just doing everything.
That was pretty cool.
All right, all right.
It was very creepy what Dave has shown me here.
Dave, have you seen talk to me?
It sounds like you have if you're showing that problem.
I haven't, but you caught my interest when you mentioned a floating hand.
This is the hand of fame.
I was at Canton one time backstage while the guys in the gold jackets were going out there.
And I said, forget the Hall of Fame.
Will you sign my hand of fame?
Mean Joe Green, Joe Nameth, other Lumines.
How about that?
What is it throwing up?
Is that G.
G.
number four.
Yeah, look at that.
It's going to throw up the shocker.
Number four, smile.
This movie is creepy as hell.
You remember the promotion?
When the characters in the previews,
they had this really creepy small,
and Major League Baseball did this promotion
with the movie where they had these extras
who were sitting behind home plate
and they're just sitting there with a smile.
Creepy as all hell.
Like, if you didn't know that this,
This was a movie promotion.
Like, can we get somebody to check on these people who are in the stands?
It worked on some.
Some of the audience was like, what the hell is going on?
I remember that in social media.
Like, do you see the weirdo behind him plate?
I think I got God by that.
Yeah.
Now, there is a smile too, really good also.
It's not on my top five, but smile coming in at number four.
That movie is crazy.
Okay, number three, black phone.
There's a black phone too which came out recently.
I enjoyed it very much.
But the original black phone, Ethan Hawk, he plays a, he's like a kidnapper.
All right, kidnaps children, kills them.
It takes place like back in the 70s, I believe.
There's a supernatural element there as well.
But this black, that's a great horror slash suspense.
Has anyone seen Black Phone?
Oh, yeah.
Ethan Hawk is a...
Right?
That's a really...
really good movie. Very creepy. Why are you shaking your head? No, Trista.
This is the, this movie right here was when I developed the take that you should not be allowed
to play horror movie trailers for sporting events. I have not opted in. I have not consented.
You want to get your little horror preview off. Do it in the theater with other horror shit,
okay? Like I'm trying to see Wemba Nama. I don't need to be like, Black Phone. Are you ready to play a game?
And I'm like, no, dude, not at all.
That's fair, actually.
Yeah.
Kids don't want to see a preview for a movie about kidnapping kids.
You know, I'm just trying to watch basketball here.
That's fair.
All right, number three was Blackphone.
Number two.
Weapons.
Yeah.
What a movie.
What an end scene, huh Zaz?
Oh, my.
It's hilarious the end scene.
But it's a second half this movie is a comedy, if we're being honest here.
But overall, it's a horror.
on Gladys, you never saw that coming.
I love Julia Garner.
I mean, in Ozark, oh, my God, she is fantastic, and this Josh Brolin's great.
You've never seen a movie like, why are the kids running into the darkness?
What are the kids doing?
217 in the morning.
What are they doing?
Weapons, what a movie.
The scariest part of weapons to me in the saddest part, spoiler alert.
Go on.
Spoiler alert.
It's when they were at the table and the little kids saw his parents
and Ms. Gladys did this and they just started forking their faces.
Yeah, that was wicked.
She's a witch.
She's a witch.
All right, that's number two.
And number one, top five horror movies since the year 2020.
But no spoilers, though, right?
No spoilers.
No spoilers.
No spoilers.
Write the alert out there.
Number one.
Obsession.
You're already getting.
giving it number one status?
Number one horror movie.
This movie is phenomenal.
I'm telling you got to go see it.
The lead actress, I don't even know her name.
I've never seen her anything else before.
She should get an award.
She's phenomenal in this movie.
Creepy as hell.
I mean, some of these scenes make you really uncomfortable.
What the hell is she?
What is the plot?
Okay, there's a supernatural element to it.
I'll give you...
No, you can hear the plot, Jujo.
It's not a spoiler.
And there's like a wishing...
Willow. Okay. It's like a like a
bullshit toy. A wishing
Willow and you get one wish
when you have the wishing Willow.
And the kid he
wishes that his his longtime
high school crush would
love him more than anything in the world.
That's the movie. More than
anything in the world. Be careful
how you wore things.
That's the movie. The ending
is wild. The whole movie's wild.
So obsession
That's number five, talk to me.
Number four, smile.
Number three, black phone.
Number two, weapons.
And number one, obsession.
So your boys are into the horror genre.
Yeah, we love it.
Have they talked to you about backrooms yet?
My younger son has seen it tomorrow.
He can't wait.
He's been waiting for months.
He's telling me about the backroom's lore.
He knows all about it.
Dude, your kids rock.
Yeah, yeah.
I started taking both of them, like, when my older one was a little bit younger,
and we'll see like a really violent scene.
He'll be covered.
I go, you open your eyes right now.
You watch all of this.
So the backrooms, Dave, I don't know if you're familiar with what the backrooms are to give you a little
bit of the Lord.
Like, I don't even know.
I just know I want to see this movie.
Okay, so imagine, I don't know if you've maybe stumbled across this on social media or not.
But there's like, imagine being in like a dream state where there's like a room, but there really
isn't an exit and you're kind of like walking around and it looks like an office building
with fluorescent lights and you're just like trying to find the exit and you can.
It's almost like a...
And Billy Crystal is there?
All of a sudden Billy Crystal shows up.
Your wife's there and you're like, whoa, did not consent to this.
Where's the door?
Long story short, in the backrooms, there is no door.
It's like a maze that goes on for eternity of this, like, of this.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing this.
I want to see it tonight with my wife.
I'm trying to get the baby to get dropped off maybe at the grandma's house.
I'll go tomorrow with my son if he doesn't ditch me to go with a friend.
We'll report back next week, me and you.
Yeah, okay.
Backrooms.
If you're very interested in something that's a little bit, it's not like horror like jump scare,
But it's more of a psychological horror being stuck in somewhere you can't get out of.
Maybe like JJ McCarthy in Minnesota.
So there you go.
That is the list right there.
I want to leave you guys with a snippet from the latest South Beach sessions.
As Dan, he did a sit down with the comedian who's very hot right now, Robbie Hoffman.
Hey.
All right.
I want to go through the timeline and the biography.
Nine siblings sounds crazy.
Like that sounds like a household that's nuts.
It's nuts.
What are the details that?
are worth sharing on what you remember of fighting for everything with nine siblings?
I mean, it was really everything, you know. Popsicles came in boxes of eight. My mother only
bought one box. We were 10 kids. So it's kind of like musical chairs with popsicles, you know,
at some point, two people didn't get. So it's like that, you know, unless it was a steep sale
on the popsicles, a two for one, a bogo. She wasn't minding two buckses.
So it's everything. It's my bath water. It's, you know, I remember at seven finally speaking to my mother and say, you know, I think I'm ready for my own bath. I can't take a bath with these animals. They're pissing them. My brothers would piss. And I said, I'm seven years old. I think it's, you know, gray, I think it's fine. I have my own bath. Even 10 minutes. I'm not asking much. I can't shower with these animals. I mean, look at them. That, you know, the penis is, it's just like another shower. I don't need this. It's like, I'm not even getting clean.
in there. They're disgusting. So things like that, just a ton of us being in the bath.
My toothbrushes were really grimy. That sticks out. I remember we had like a blue sink.
You know those old porcelain, you know, we moved into my great Uncle Eddie's house, so
nothing had been renovated. But my mother had like a jar of our toothbrushes and just
the petri dish of the toothbrushes.
you know, 15 toothbrushes, God knows.
She was trying to swap them out.
She always tried, but at a certain point, you know.
So I don't know.
It's hard to pinpoint specifics because the whole thing was different.
That's why I say, like, you know, in my relationship, you know, Gabby and I both come
more similarly cut in that we don't come from money.
She grew up a little more, you know, marginally, you know, under better circumstances.
But she was a military brat, moved around a lot.
So, you know, it's.
It's a give and take.
But, yeah, dating outside of your class or how you grew up to me feels like a huge dating outside of the faith for that reason.
Because if you both grew up poor or me, you know, stretching things, you understand the day in and the day out of that.
It's a whole lifestyle.
Versus if you grow up rich, it's like everything is different.
It's just a totally different world.
