To DraftKings Network.

[00:00:10]

This is the Dan Levitore Show with the Stugatz Podcast.

[00:00:19]

Oh, wait a minute. Were you guys supposed to go 10:30? Is David-.

[00:00:22]

Yes, it's my fault. You can hear me now. Check, check.

[00:00:24]

What was your fault, Ed? Was it that you were on mute or that you're late?

[00:00:29]

What is- I was not late, big man. No way I was ready at 10:30, Danny. I pressed the Mute button accidentally. That is a user error. I was not late today. I was very early, very prompt. How dare you try to.

[00:00:40]

Humiliate me. My fault, you were on time this time. David Samson is always on time, but he also seems slightly pissed off today. He seems like he's agitated. Am I wrong about this? Am I misreading the situation? You look very serious. Is it because we've kept you waiting 17 minutes? Is that what it is?

[00:00:57]

Yeah, I've been sitting in this chair since 10:27. I didn't have the Zoom room because my computer, for whatever reason, didn't have it. But Mike sent it to me, and no one mentioned that you guys were running late. I would have been able to use the rest of it.

[00:01:08]

Sorry, David. All right. Nothing Personal is the name of the podcast. Nothing Personal is also my explanation for what just happened to you. I'm sorry if you piss yourself. That will also not be personal. I want to get to top five Ben Stiller movies with you guys because today is Ben Stiller's 57th birthday. Happy birthday.

[00:01:30]

To.

[00:01:31]

Him.

[00:01:33]

I don't care. Good luck. But before we do that, I just want to get your thoughts on some Elon Musk video here. He's at a conference. That was Adnan's discussed you just heard. But here is Adnan. This was a world leader conference covered with… I had a lot of serious stuff being talked about. But the thing that everyone's talking about today is just Elon Musk doing this to the idea that Disney might pull advertising from X.

[00:01:59]

Apology to war, if you will, that this had been said online. There was all of the criticism. There was advertisers leaving. We talked to Bob Iger today. I hope they stop. You hope? Don't advertise. You don't want them to advertise? No. What do you mean? If somebody's going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go fuck yourself.

[00:02:24]

But.

[00:02:26]

Go f*ck yourself. Is that clear?

[00:02:30]

I.

[00:02:31]

Hope it is.

[00:02:33]

Hey, Bob.

[00:02:34]

If you're in the audience. Well, let me ask you then. That's how I feel. Don't advertise.

[00:02:42]

That hand was shaking as he grabbed that glass of water next to him. He's under some duress. Samson, what are your thoughts there?

[00:02:49]

He's talking about Bob Iger, and he's talking about Disney and all the people and companies who are not giving X money, the platform. And he was saying that if it goes bankrupt because of lack of advertising, the general public will come out on the side of Musk saying, We're going to boycott Disney because they should be advertising with X. I just thought that he seemed unhinged. I actually thought that it was not him. I sent that exact video to Kaka before tweeting it because I assumed that it was AI because I can't believe that anyone would talk that way.

[00:03:22]

Adnan.

[00:03:23]

Love Kaka, for stuff. Good shout out to there. That's one thing I do like about Nothing Personal is their excellent producer, Matt Kaka. But with regards to video, only Mike will get this reference, but he's about three minutes away from looking like Mads Mickelson. It's hilarious. He's turned into a super villain, Elon Musk. And to David's point, I don't know if it's AI. I don't think it's him. It's like Elon Musk is now playing a character, but I think he's an absolute buffoon. How much if you're watching a video, the lower thirds is anti-Semitism was not my intention, but then it turns into him telling Bob Becker to go f himself. That is my intention. I am trying to tell a Disney CEO to go to hell. I think it's laughable. I won't buy a Tesla. How about that? I'm looking for a new car right now, but I won't buy a Tesla. That's how strong my stance is against Elon Musk.

[00:04:06]

Adnan hates Elon Musk so much. He will indeed kill the environment to spite him. David, your thought in general, about a CEO of a company being that brazen about don't give me your money, go bleep yourself. It's not something I've seen before.

[00:04:21]

I think it's everybody's dream to have what they call FU money. And Musk has it, and so he has the ability to do it. I just question why you would do it at that conference at that moment during that interview. Is the point that you're trying to get advertising revenue? Or are you changing the model to a subscription-based revenue? In which case you do tell the advertisers to F off. But in general, it's not great principle unless he's a step ahead in terms of his business and what his P&L looks like, because right now clearly it's been a bad investment financially, but a really good investment for him from a curating standpoint, because everybody now knows Elon Musk.

[00:04:58]

Two things that I got from this was, number one, the false equivalency that pulling advertising is now blackmail instead of just a reaction to a seemingly unhinged head of the company. But also why are you doing this? You think you're helping? We do have a clip in which he actually says why he's doing it.

[00:05:20]

I will certainly not pander. Jonathan, the only reason I'm here is because you are a friend. What was my speaking fee? You're not making any... First of all, I'm Andrew, but.

[00:05:33]

Yeah.

[00:05:34]

Sorry. It's okay. Second of all, we've known each other for a very long time. I'm just talking.

[00:05:39]

That's unbelievable how fraudulent that is. The only reason I'm here is because you're a good friend, Jonathan. My name's Andrew.

[00:05:48]

I think I like Eli Moore.

[00:05:49]

Are you shitting me? I think that what I just saw there is the better video from that conference. The FU video is the one that's getting around. That's unbelievable. The only reason I'm here is because I'm such good friends with you, Jonathan. My name is Andrew.

[00:06:06]

That's too realistic. I also think I'm also not a pandor. Jonathan, the only reason I'm here is because you were a friend. What was my speaking fee? You're not making any… First of all, I'm Andrew.

[00:06:23]

Shouldn't have corrected him, Dan. Shouldn't have let it get going. And at the end of the interview, I said, Listen, we are such good friends. We have spent so much time together. It really pains me to tell you. By the way, my name is Andrew.

[00:06:32]

Incorrect. Should have corrected him faster, comedically, to do something funnier than Ben Stiller has ever done in his career. My name is not Jonathan, it is Andrew. But let's do top five Ben Stiller movies. This one has some potential here. Let's see if they pick any movies from the last 15 years. Samson, get us started.

[00:06:51]

Number five, Dodgeball. Dodgeball, if you're not laughing and watching Dodgeball, then you're not a fan of movies. Vince Vaughan, he's going to come up again. Number four.

[00:07:03]

I love Rip-Torn. I just want to mention Rip-Torn is great in Dodgeball. Go ahead, David.

[00:07:06]

Am I allowed to still love Tropic Thunder? I believe I am. I love the performance. I can still say I enjoyed the movie Sole Man as well. Those movies would not be made today, but Tropic Thunder at number four.

[00:07:17]

Put it on the pole, JuJu, please. Are you not a fan of movies if you did not laugh during dodgeball? Number three.

[00:07:27]

Number three, along came Polly. This is not pandering to Hank Azaria. This is a movie that I've seen 20 times pandering to someone who has a bad stomach, someone who's a bit OCD, and Brian Brown as the cameo of the guy who's trying to get insured. And of course, Philip Seymour Hoffman, an iconic role for him, not an Oscar-winning role, but that is a movie you can watch over and over.

[00:07:51]

Twenty times is 19 times too many. The only thing that's watchable is Philip Seymour Hoffman, one of my favorite actors ever. We're going to go, I sharded. Basketball scene also fantastic.

[00:08:00]

Azaria? You didn't like Azaria?

[00:08:02]

No, I like Azaria. It's okay. Azaria is worth one other watch. So 18 times too many times. You can watch it twice. Once for Azaria, once for Seymour Hoffman.

[00:08:10]

Number two- It's fun. You lose your argument so quickly, Adnan. Someone says one thing and you change so quickly.

[00:08:17]

It's-i just love Hank.

[00:08:19]

Number two, The Secret Life of Walter Middy. What? So Walter Middy is a character based on a book and the movie Ben Stiller plays someone who loses his mind and he finds himself in these strange situations. There's a cameo by Sean Penn where he explains that sometimes you should look at life not through the lens of the camera. Very powerful. The end of that movie, very emotional.

[00:08:44]

I'm perplexed by this choice. So far, pretty good list. I'm perplexed by this one. Secret Life of Walter Moody is a great short story, and Ben Stiller is a terrific actor. This was not a good adaptation. I don't even think Ben Stiller, if you asked him honestly, would admit this was a good movie, a movie that he is proud of, a movie that's the second best of his oeuvre. The book is far superior than the movie. This is an outrageous choice by you.

[00:09:05]

It's for a place to how close you are to that camera. I'm so sorry I messed it up, guys. Blame me, Penelie Box.

[00:09:11]

Love the Cunningham Jersey. Way to go, JoJu.

[00:09:14]

You were saying, Samson.

[00:09:15]

I don't know. Are we saying? I was going to say number one while we're here.

[00:09:19]

Go ahead.

[00:09:20]

Keeping the faith. Before you laugh, Ednaid, did you hear the one about the Rabbi, the priest, and the pretty girl?

[00:09:29]

Yeah, yeah. I was about to say the premise of it is funny. I remember the movie. I forgot most of it. It's not very memorable. Edward Norton, it's a good cast, but this is the best Ben Stiller movie ever for you?

[00:09:39]

Ed Norton directed it. It's also my favorite Ed Norton movie, so it's both.

[00:09:43]

Jenna Elfman.

[00:09:44]

Jenna Elfman plays the best friend, and they meet as children. And it turns out that the Rabbi falls in love with one of the best friends, and the priest also falls in love, but he's a priest. And it is a story about three best friends when love happens. What happens? It actually has a lot of important lessons. It's called Keeping the Faith. It's funny, it's smart. And any movie with Anne Bankroft, that's a movie you need to watch.

[00:10:08]

The Anne Bankroft Point is salient, but the rest of your argument is ridiculous. That is a completely underwhelming movie. I saw it once. It was completely forgettable and disposable. That's a B-minus-C-plus movie.

[00:10:18]

Adnan seems legitimately pissed off, and Ameen just stopped taping oddball and ran into a studio that Mike Ryan didn't want him in in order to object to that as your number one movie, credulously.

[00:10:33]

Per custom, Adnan now has two minutes to go through his top five.

[00:10:36]

Number five, Adnan.

[00:10:38]

Juju is raising his finger that he wants to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go ahead. Number five is Reality Bytes. Damn you. Ben Stiller directed it. He stars at the great Ethan Hawke, one of my favorite actors. It's a phenomenal movie shaming you, Samson, not having reality bites. That's a great 90s movie, Gen X movie number five. Number four, my man, Wes Anderson, the Royal Tenantbobs. Stiller shows his dramatic chops, beautiful father and son story. How about the reconciliation? Him and Jean Hackman. Also very funny. Him and his kids in the jumpsuits, Ari and Uzi. Number three, we can still both love it. Tropic Thunder. I'm sorry, you were in on Tenantbombs?

[00:11:15]

Yeah, I love that movie, but you're a snob. Your lists are very. I love.

[00:11:19]

That you're a snob. What a thing to say. Number three, Tropic Thunder. Robert Downey Jr, can't go full. Well, we can't finish the full statement, but yes, we know it's a great film. Number two, meet the parents. Shame on you for not including a Ben Stiller classic. Him and De Niro together, are you kidding? Number one, how is this not on your list? There's something about Mary. We got a bleeder. I mean, a man getting his testicles caught in a zip, the dance sequence with a cat, Cameron Diaz, the hair gel. Something about Mary is Ben Stiller at number one with a bullet.

[00:11:52]

Put it on the pole, JuJu at Levitard show is Zulander, a top five Ben Stiller movie. Because both of you didn't have Zoolander in the top five, I find that shocking.

[00:12:03]

Starsky and Hutch as well.

[00:12:05]

No, Starsky and Hutch is not a top five. That's wild. It is not top five.

[00:12:10]

One great line, though, from Starsky and Hutch and defensive Cody says, What do you want? Blondes or Burnets? He goes, I'll take Blons because that's good because I'll take anything.

[00:12:17]

That's great, Edmund.

[00:12:19]

Thank you, guys.

[00:12:21]

For that, we waited 17 fucking minutes.

[00:12:25]

All right, go to the bathroom. See you later, Samson. Go ahead, JuJu.

[00:12:29]

I just wanted to say, while I'm trying to be was a good movie, god damn it, shit. Salute to David Samson. Get the hell out of here, though. Y'all mean ass.

[00:12:35]

Penalty box, JuJu.

[00:12:37]

Don't live a tard. You got to know I'm a big Colombo guy. Salute to that boy.

[00:12:42]

Okay. I don't think that's truth. I don't think that's a lie. I don't think that's that. He said, Salute. I don't think that is evidence. Salute to that boy. It suggests camouflage. It suggests that JuJu has no idea what we're talking about, and now is just Googling it. Stugats. I'm not.

[00:13:02]

Googling it. My grandmother stayed in the country. I watched The Braves. I watched Colombo. I watched Matlock. I watched Andy Griffin. Salute to you, sir. But you go to the pill in the box, damn. Dan, take your ass to the pill in the box.

[00:13:14]

-what?

[00:13:14]

-ju-ju. -honey a liar.

[00:13:15]

You take him, Juju. You take him, Juju.

[00:13:17]

Back to.

[00:13:18]

You, Stu.

[00:13:19]

This is.

[00:13:19]

The Don Lebertar Show.

[00:13:20]

With the Stugaz.

[00:13:26]

Look at the.

[00:13:27]

Crowd we've got in here right now. We are bursting at the gills because Charlotte and A mean are now done with oddball, which you could catch every day, rising in the charts like a lot of Metallark properties. Although a challenger has emerged with an unnamed show about college football that hopefully we will have a name for soon. But Lucy is here as well. She came to replace Charlotte and Ameen, now she joins them. And I'm glad that Charlotte is here because I wanted to talk to her about what I couldn't tell was on her face. Was she delighted or mortified when learning what she learned about The Golden Bachelor? The Golden Bachelor, this show is wildly popular. It's a great idea that I did not think that The Bachelor could keep evolving, and I didn't think that I would be interested in old-person romance, but The Golden Bachelor has captured America. This is an evolution of this show that has been very popular. Finding love late in life, even if it is a television contivant, is something that somehow America has gotten behind. But this latest report, because we can't have nice things about The Golden Bachelor being a creep.

[00:14:38]

Yes. Thank you. I've never been more excited to talk about something into a microphone in my life.

[00:14:44]

Well, thank you, Charlotte. I used to... Who said? Oh, that was.

[00:14:48]

Gary, the Golden Bachelor. Wait, is Gary? I love love. Yes. So the.

[00:14:51]

Golden Bachelor- Hold on. His name is spelled G-E-R-R-Y, and it's Gary.

[00:14:58]

It's not Jerry. But pronounced in the Hollywood reporter article, phonetically, they spelt G-A-I-R-Y. It's a lesser. So Gary, he shows up. He's tan. He's a good looking older man. Thank you. And immediately, I'm like, I don't trust this guy. That's John Skiver.

[00:15:16]

Everybody- You keep.

[00:15:20]

Trying it. I don't believe it's not.

[00:15:23]

Gary is handsome. I don't know how old is he is a good-looking 72-year-old man. 72. -he's a good-looking 72-year-old.

[00:15:29]

But they're painting him to be this amazing, wonderful man that all these ladies would be lucky to end up with. I was like, I don't buy it. First of all, I think that this show is very mean to older people, and I do not buy that Gary is this innocent, good gut. Because he'll be like, Oh, my wife died, and he'll start crying. Two seconds later, he's making out with three different women.

[00:15:49]

That's just the game, though.

[00:15:51]

Right, but what person does it take to play that game? Everyone's like, Oh, no, Gary's a good guy. It's breaking his heart to have to break other people's hearts. An article comes out in The Hollywood reporter. Gary's whole thing was that his wife died and he hasn't been with anyone for six years. He had a three year relationship, started a month after his wife died because he hit on a coworker who was 14 years younger than he was. She moves to live with him after he's trying... And he's using the lines on her. They saw text messages that he was using on women on The Bachelor.

[00:16:27]

She moves-I mean, every guy has his lines, right? I mean, what are we doing?

[00:16:30]

Yeah, but it's not usually my wife died and I haven't been with anybody for six years. What are your.

[00:16:34]

Lines, Chris?

[00:16:34]

Of course, that would be your line. I don't remember.

[00:16:36]

No, that wasn't even the line. It was, I go to bed thinking about you, and I wake up thinking about you, which like, Okay, fine, generic enough.

[00:16:42]

Fake news. I feel like that was in Twilight. Like, that's just a eighth grader's line.

[00:16:47]

Yeah. So he's dating after he loses his wife.

[00:16:52]

What's a good line? Your line.

[00:16:54]

Should be better than.

[00:16:55]

That if you're old. I'm sorry. I'm going to say this, because all lines are bad. It all just comes down to, does she like you or not? And if she likes you, she decides, Oh, it's cute and funny in a corny way. If she doesn't like you, it's eew. Get away from me with that corny line.

[00:17:09]

I'm just looking for love.

[00:17:11]

A good line is, Excuse me, ma'am. I'm so sorry. You look nice. She's got a booger in your nose. I just wanted to tell you to get that. Now I'm endearing. I just helped her out, and she wanted to get to know the kid you did. Bat in the cave.

[00:17:21]

She does have to have a booger in her nose for that to work out.

[00:17:24]

No, she.

[00:17:24]

Does not.

[00:17:24]

No.

[00:17:25]

She.

[00:17:25]

Does not. You got it.

[00:17:29]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. You're onto something here.

[00:17:32]

That's a terrible line, but Charlotte has just been duped by it. Look how happy she is. You can lie in the line- Incredibly helpful. -about the booger. Yes, it gives off the illusion of altruism, but and also weakens you immediately by making you insecure.

[00:17:47]

You know who else is insecure? This woman after Gary. So she moves to be with him, quits her job, gets a new job. Immediately, he's like, Cool, your half of the expenses is going to be a thousand bucks. Nice. She negotiates it down to $850. Then they're packing to go to Gary's high school reunion, and he looks at her and goes, You're going like that? Because she had gained 10 pounds since she got there. Then they break up. She's trying to get her stuff out of the house, slips on the ice, breaks her, needs surgery on her ankle. Gary won't let her stay with him after the surgery and then is helping her to her car on the ice in her walker and is like, I'm so sorry, this didn't out. Then there are other women he's dated. This is.

[00:18:32]

One side of the story. This is America's sweetheart.

[00:18:35]

You're leaving out one of the worst parts. He also took her to watch an Iowa football game.

[00:18:39]

Oh.

[00:18:40]

No.

[00:18:41]

Cancel, Gary.

[00:18:42]

That.

[00:18:43]

Monster. I can't do anything right.

[00:18:45]

Lock them up.

[00:18:47]

Wait, so this ex-girlfriend, I assume, is the source for this story in The Hollywood reporter, and she's probably been watching The Golden Bachelor and thinking, This is not true. This guy was a jerk to me, right?

[00:18:58]

Ding, ding, ding. You got it. Also, her friends are like, We were just going to laugh it off. But then it became this huge sensation and everybody's obsessed with it. And we had to say something. This woman, she comes forward. She's like, My name is Carolyn. I don't want my last name out there. But I also didn't want to be the invisible woman in Indiana who Gary screwed over.

[00:19:16]

Oh, come on.

[00:19:17]

I'm just interested if they ask him about it after the final rows.

[00:19:21]

They're not going to ask. It's not that show.

[00:19:24]

This is great PR for them.

[00:19:25]

I'm sorry. No, they'll ask.

[00:19:26]

They'll not ask. They'll definitely ask. I think they'll be like, Gary, there's some we have to address. He'll say, Well, that was one-person side of the story.

[00:19:35]

That's right.

[00:19:35]

Sounds.

[00:19:36]

Like Eeyore. She didn't break her ankle slipping on ice.

[00:19:39]

I feel like this story comes out for every bachelor's season, though.

[00:19:43]

She.

[00:19:43]

Broke her ankle on the guard. There's always dirt on the person. Everyone's always trying to go after the person. I don't like this. I don't like this. What's his name? Gary?

[00:19:50]

This Gary Slender. You're on.

[00:19:51]

Gary's side?

[00:19:52]

You tell us your name, Gary. I hear a one-sided story here. See you, Gary.

[00:19:56]

I think we.

[00:19:57]

Just have to stop expecting people who find love on The Bachelor to be normal, level-headed people. I think we should just assume if you're going on that.

[00:20:05]

Show, there.

[00:20:05]

Probably.

[00:20:06]

Something a.

[00:20:06]

Little wrong with you. Forgive my bachelor ignorance. Has any bachelor or bachelorette season finale that ends with a coupling? Have they ever stayed together?

[00:20:17]

Yeah. Trista and Ryan, the first ever bachelorette.

[00:20:20]

Jordan Rogers, Aaron Rogers' brother, he won the bachelorette, and they're still together. That was a long time ago.

[00:20:25]

Jordan and Jordan- I remember that.

[00:20:26]

Three for 75.

[00:20:28]

Got.

[00:20:29]

It. I don't have Lari numbers.

[00:20:31]

I imagine that had to be hard for the woman who he dated to watch all of it, to watch this beautiful person use the same tricks and lie insincerely on television on a made-for-television-love product. It must have been very difficult to... The story on the show is that he hadn't dated anyone for six years, but he dated her a month after.

[00:20:56]

His wife's death. They hadn't kissed anyone after. What do we call dating? There was one kiss, he said, in six years. But also he lied about what he did. It says he was a restaurant tour. He sold his hamburger stand in 1885.

[00:21:12]

It's.

[00:21:12]

Really- It's.

[00:21:12]

The other guilt that.

[00:21:13]

It's in the old-Sorry, I got my shows.

[00:21:15]

Mixed up. He's 150 years old.

[00:21:17]

I got my shows in 1985.

[00:21:18]

In 1985 and then had different jobs. He worked as a maintenance guy for a while. I've done a lot. Yeah, he's done a lot. But it just says, retired restaurantor. Is it possible they just.

[00:21:28]

Simplified that to make it just easier?

[00:21:32]

Definitely.

[00:21:33]

Okay, definitely. So maybe.

[00:21:34]

He wasn't lying. I'm a restaurant tour. It's a burger stand?

[00:21:38]

Semantics.

[00:21:40]

Kyle Lowry shooting 45.7 % from three, Mike.

[00:21:43]

What are you talking about? All right, that was an easy joke. I apologize to Kyle Lowry, who's very clearly sensitive. I have.

[00:21:48]

A question, Sharma. What point in the season are we at? There's three-.

[00:21:51]

It's a finale. There are two left.

[00:21:53]

Oh, there's two left. He loves all of.

[00:21:56]

Them, right? He told them both that she was the one. No, no. And it's like.

[00:22:00]

They're.

[00:22:01]

Two. Mathematically, that's.

[00:22:02]

Not possible. Put her on the pole, JuJu. Can you tell both of them she was the one?

[00:22:06]

You are the two.

[00:22:09]

One thing about The Bachelor is they always use the carrot of hope of love. It's not even the person at a certain point. I'm not there yet.

[00:22:17]

They always talk about getting there. I'm almost there.

[00:22:20]

I like you. But it's.

[00:22:22]

Also like what they're selling, really, like what the prize is, it's not an engagement. It's like you found someone and then the aftermath of the show, you're left to deal with whoever that person is. But so 25-year-olds leave the show and they're all crying and they're like, I'm never going to find love. They're married four years later. 70-year-olds leave the show and they're like, I'm never going to find love. You're like, Oh, my God. This is the end of the road. I just hope their DMs are filled with lovely old men trying to take them out.

[00:22:46]

Hello, Gertrude. My name is Ben. I would love to take you out on a lovely meal.

[00:22:50]

Wait.

[00:22:51]

Charlotte, I have another question.

[00:22:52]

Do you have to go potty?

[00:22:53]

I'm old. Old people generally have to go potty.

[00:22:56]

Hello, Gertrude. You have a booger in your nose.

[00:22:58]

He told one of the contests that he loved them in front of her family and then eliminated her in the next round, right? And it took until the Hollywood reporter article for people to be like, This guy is maybe not a stand-up gentleman.

[00:23:14]

I want to say, the whole time I was like, Gary's an f boy. We're out on Gary. I don't trust Gary.

[00:23:19]

Also, who among us? Who wants our exes talking to the Hollywood reporter, man?

[00:23:25]

Put it on the pole, JuJu. Do you want your ex talking to the Hollywood reporter? Dan. Put also on the pole, are any 80-year-olds slipping into the DMs? Because I'm not sure. My grandma. Is that a thing that's happening? She's a freak. You think 80-year-olds are active on social media?

[00:23:45]

Most of them are between the ages of 61 and 72 on the show, I would say. They're not even.

[00:23:50]

That old. Perfect.

[00:23:52]

Yes, I do think that they're sliding it. I think Susan, my favorite... Oh, I love Susan. She's from Philly. She made meatballs and it made her fart. It was the greatest moment of the show. What? She said she's been getting a lot of messages.

[00:24:07]

Put it on the poll as well, JuJu, should the meatball farter be getting a lot of messages at Levitar show?

[00:24:12]

And not to conflate dating with veneerial disease, but these senior communities, they're cesspool for VD.

[00:24:19]

True, and they're active with sex. I just don't think that they're active with DMs. I don't think.

[00:24:25]

That- They slip a lot, just not into DMs.

[00:24:28]

That.

[00:24:28]

Is correct. That was my joke.

[00:24:29]

Chris.

[00:24:30]

I loved your work as Gary, Chris. I also loved JuJu, Gertrude, an excellent old woman named, like Edith. If you have any other nominees on JuJu as an old person flirting with an old woman, telling her-.

[00:24:46]

Yes, JuJu as an old.

[00:24:47]

Person flirting with an old woman. Trying telling her to take a booger out of her nose. Juju, I don't understand why you think that's a good line. I think that that will.

[00:24:56]

Incapacitate- Dan, you're out of the game.

[00:24:58]

I can show you how it was a good line. You did. Salute to you, sister. I see you.

[00:25:05]

Don't.

[00:25:05]

Live a tard. It's been a lovely cruise. Oh, man, that's my outro. That's as my casket is being lowered, I'll have been cremated a week before, but we'll do the casket thing just for sure. And as my casket is being lowered- We're doing it.

[00:25:25]

Empty.

[00:25:25]

Casket? Yeah, it'll be empty. Closed. Just for sure we're going to do that. Well, what's the redundancy there? We're going to put on a public display.

[00:25:34]

Yeah.

[00:25:35]

Naturally. Stugats. What do you do with the ashes? You're going on a lovely cruise. Exactly. Maybe my wife will throw them overboard. I would assume- And she's nicking with her new husband. This is The Don Lebotar Show with the Stugats.

[00:25:50]

We.

[00:25:53]

Derailed into Charlotte's obsession with The Golden Bachelor. I don't know, Chris, do you watch this alone? Do you watch this with your wife? Is it a weekly thing? You have not shown this enthusiasm for this television show. I'm learning right now how obsessed you are with this show. Is this a night you spend with your wife?

[00:26:13]

No, I watched the old one, but I just like this guy, Gary, because of his voice. The Woman of my Dreams is in there. I just like mocking him. I honestly haven't watched.

[00:26:21]

This season. Before we move on from Golden Bachelor, can you tell us about the interview where the lady ripped a fart for 10 seconds?

[00:26:27]

Yeah, so they ran a best of at The Women Tell All. One of it, it was behind the scenes footage where Sandra is sitting in that... So Sandra is lactose intolerant. She ate a bunch of ice cream. Then she's sitting in the confessional, and she goes, One sec, and just farts for the longest time. She lifted up her cheek. She lifted up a cheek, stares directly into the camera. My hero. I mean, women were falling. Sandra was in bed for two days because she ate too much ice cream. Nancy, I think, sprained or fractured a bone playing pickleball.

[00:27:04]

It's a dangerous game.

[00:27:05]

They were dropping like flies. I was like, This is a health risk. You got to sign your life away if you're 60 plus going on The Golden Bachelor.

[00:27:13]

The fart was endearing. I want them to see the real them.

[00:27:16]

Jessica, did you just shout, She's my hero, because she lifted up a cheek and farted on television for.

[00:27:23]

10 seconds?

[00:27:23]

On ABC.

[00:27:24]

That's incredible content. Who among us? Everyone with lactose intolerant eats ice cream anyways, right? That's the most human trait.

[00:27:31]

They did it because they were playing a game of Never Have I ever. If you'd done the thing, you had to eat a scoop of ice cream. Oh, my God. Sandra was a... She'd done some stuff, so she ate a lot of ice cream.

[00:27:41]

What stuff?

[00:27:42]

Well, they were like, Have you ever hooked up in a car? Then, Have you ever slept with a married man? She didn't say yes to that one. April was a freak.

[00:27:50]

Here's the thing. Have you ever hooked up in a car? That's the generation that exclusively hooked up in cars, right?

[00:27:55]

Lover's Lane.

[00:27:56]

Yeah. Lover's Lane. Yeah, very Greece vibes.

[00:27:59]

I'm a corner, power line in 4:41.

[00:28:02]

A meme came in here, though, before we got derailed by Golden Bachelor stuff. He rushed in here because he was objecting to the Ben Stiller lists of both Adnan and David Samson so furiously. What I didn't understand, because you were hovering around Mike in a room filled with Mikes, but you didn't go to any of them, and you just ran in and looked incredible and then ran off. You didn't say anything.

[00:28:28]

Well, there's a couple of things I'm accomplishing with that, Dan. First of all, I knew the clock was short and I knew the ad man had to get to his list, so I knew me talking, even though I had a lot to add to the conversation, would be disruptive. Number two is I'm always constantly trying to add value add to the YouTube audience. Yes, the listeners, we.

[00:28:47]

Love them. We have fart video.

[00:28:49]

What? We've got.

[00:28:50]

Breaking news. Sandra?

[00:28:51]

Hold on.

[00:28:52]

A.

[00:28:53]

Second. Oh!

[00:29:00]

This is like Step Brothers.

[00:29:01]

Second push.

[00:29:03]

You were saying?

[00:29:04]

With a head now.

[00:29:05]

I mean.

[00:29:06]

She's my hero too. That fart stopped and then she got a second one out.

[00:29:09]

That was amazing. And did a little like, Yes.

[00:29:11]

It's still a dog. Jessica, that is the.

[00:29:13]

Appropriate reaction? To Sandra, we say.

[00:29:15]

I wish to respect her. Let's do it again. We got to do it again so we can all celebrate her. That was amazing. Second? You were saying? Bend your head back. Hold on a second. I can't play this enough, at least in part. At least in part, at least in fart, because at the very end of that, that was not only aggressive. It was, at the end, more confident than I've ever seen a farter because her last look, the way she punctuates the fart with the very end of it with the end what? Look at how impressive I am. The end of it is the most impressive part.

[00:30:01]

Hold on a second. Yeah.

[00:30:09]

She came in extra with the eyes at the end.

[00:30:12]

She looks like, the meme from America's Got Talent of Diddy staring at this dude, and they're not saying anything. The dude at some point just like, Yes, I'm doing this. That's how she looked like.

[00:30:23]

Do you not find the length of that a bit startling? I don't think that I've ever farted like that for that length of time. That's an endurance. I don't believe you.

[00:30:33]

What's your longest fart?

[00:30:35]

I was close to that, but that seemed.

[00:30:38]

Especially long. That's the look of an emotional terrorist that she had on her face.

[00:30:42]

She's been doing that for a long time. But you were saying, Ameen, before we got derailed by Golden Bachelor farting.

[00:30:49]

What was.

[00:30:49]

I saying? You were talking about Ben Stiller and your objections to Adnan.

[00:30:53]

And Samson. Yes. I knew the clock was short. Also, I'd like to add value to the YouTube audience with extra things that you couldn't hear. You go to YouTube and you say, Oh, wow. I mean, I was doing all these things that I didn't hear listening to podcast. So YouTube. Com/whatever our Levitard show handle is. At Levitard Show. There you go. Look, man.

[00:31:14]

I mean, there's a couple I understand. But At Levitard show is the easiest because it's uniform throughout our social channels.

[00:31:20]

Awesome.

[00:31:21]

The- Sincerity. I love it.

[00:31:25]

The Stiller movie. First of all, they're cowards. Both of them are cowards. Because they know tropic thunder is number one. They know omitting it would be too cowardly, so they put it lower on their love, four or three. It's one. It's one and not even close. Something about Mary, a slapstick comedy, which I would argue is more offensive than Tropic Thunder, but it's just it doesn't have the stigma because Tropic Thunder has the easy thing to be offended about. Tropic Thunder, the blackface, was making a joke about blackface. It's not just doing blackface with blackface. Whereas the mentally challenged character, there's something about Mary. It's just, Ha ha ha, look at the mentally challenged character. It is base level humor, whereas Tropic Thunder was actually elevated. But we have this whole, Oh, my God, Tropic Thunder thing going on. So they were too scared to put it number one.

[00:32:18]

It's a great movie, and it's a great movie that holds up. I don't know that I would put it number one. I'd put it close to number one. What other objections did you have, though, to the lists?

[00:32:29]

Well, Chris said it during the segment. Zulander just being absent, completely absent, that's shocking to me. Zulander didn't do well in the box office, I believe, because it was a 9/11 release. It either released the week of 9/11 or a couple of weeks later, so people weren't in a movie going mode.

[00:32:47]

The bygone era of video releases actually breathing life into film franchises.

[00:32:54]

Yes, something that doesn't exist anymore, and a lot of Hollywood people bemoan that the idea that you used to make a movie, and it would do whatever it did in the theater, but then you'd make your money up on selling the physical copies of VHS and DVDs. Well, because of streaming now, nobody really buys this stuff as much anymore. So the smaller independent movies that aren't expected to do well in the theater can't have a second life becoming a cult classic.

[00:33:19]

What's weird is the television industry has actually gotten that for the first time, where things like suits become massive because of streamers, and they're constantly in the top 10, that all of a sudden people realize, Oh, there's more money to be had here. Then you have a reimagining or reboot of suits several years after it's run.

[00:33:39]

Well, I think the crazy thing there is how are the residuals calculated for that? Is that count of syndication in the same way that watching suits, for example, if... Not U. P. N, that doesn't exist anymore, but if C. W. Decided to run suits, would you still get the same leaks or residuals?

[00:34:01]

You know what I missed? I missed DVDs coming out, and I missed the extras. I watched every extra on Rat Race 40 times.

[00:34:09]

Rat Race. You've seen Rat Race.

[00:34:11]

Wait.

[00:34:11]

Say- Great movie.

[00:34:12]

Really? That was one of the only DVDs my family... What is going on? First, backhose, then rat...

[00:34:18]

This is weird. Best friends?

[00:34:19]

What was your favorite character in Rat Race? Mr. Bean.

[00:34:22]

The cuter one. He's married to a jewelry designer now, I believe.

[00:34:28]

Rowen Atkinson is always Mr. Bean.

[00:34:30]

No matter what. Or Blackadder. I'll give him Blackadder.

[00:34:33]

They also forgot Heartbreak Kid. I feel like that should have been on somebody's list.

[00:34:37]

That was a funny-ass movie. Thank you. By the way, that's the movie that has the greatest lying ever, Ben Stiller's character, who I don't think if you watched the movie, you'd walk away and say, Oh, that guy, like he's a habitual liar. But in that movie, he tells several magnificent lies without missing a beat, including one where he's gone out. He's on his honeymoon. This is the plot point. He's on his honeymoon, and realizes on his honeymoon, I think I've made a terrible mistake. And while he's on his honeymoon, he also meets another girl who seems to be much more simatico with him. And so he goes out on a date with the other girl while his fiancé is in the room sunburned. And when he comes back, she's like, Where were you all day? And he talks about going golfing with Patagonian representatives, including one guy named Sixtoe, because he come out ever since he got frostbite and the toes on the outside fell off. So now he's got six toes. But here's the funny thing, helps his golf game. And all of this is just one continuous long lie. She keeps asking him expository questions.

[00:35:36]

He has a lie ready for every single moment. It is a fantastic film.

[00:35:40]

It's the best way to lie with a whole lot of details. It's why I'm so disappointed that hasn't gotten better at lying over the years because all you have to do is keep giving good details. But he's gotten lazy about even that.

[00:35:53]

I'm going to seize on the residual conversation because I saw a video online that I want to play for you and the audience. Everyone's doing their Spotify Unwrapped. We talked about this a little bit yesterday, and Wierdau Yankovik actually took the opportunity to talk about Spotify Unwrapped, and it ties into residuals.

[00:36:10]

Hey, how are you doing? Al here. Look, I'll make this really quick. I just want to thank you all for your amazing support. It's my understanding that I had over 80 million streams on Spotify this year. So if I'm doing the math right, that means I earned $12. So I have to get myself a nice sandwich at a restaurant. So from the bottom of my heart, thanks for your support, and thanks for the sandwich.

[00:36:39]

Yeah.

[00:36:39]

An amazing pioneer.

[00:36:41]

That guy. Oh, man, I love Weirdow. First of all, 80 million streams, at least 17 million, this guy right here, especially with the kids in the car. Oh, man.

[00:36:50]

That's a guy who loves a long fart joke.

[00:36:53]

I've seen our Spotify numbers on these unwrapped, and it's always flattering. And then I've seen their charts and something's going on over there.

[00:37:01]

No, nothing's going on. It's just- Nothing's going on.

[00:37:04]

And one of the things, because we're always accused of gaming numbers because we're volume shooters and actually work a lot more than most people out there is just a lot of this criticism comes from people who don't actually work for Spotify. No. It's wild at how successful these Spotify.

[00:37:20]

Properties are. Well, I tend to think that Spotify is the best platform. I don't know why people use other... I don't do Apple podcast. No, Spotify. That's where you do it. That's what you listen to your podcast, especially Cinefoat. That's the podcast where Zach Harper and I watch movies that are poorly rated on Ron tomatoes and try to ascertain whether that's.

[00:37:40]

Accurately rated. Don't go chasing phony calls. Please stick to the seven-digit numbers you used to.

[00:37:46]

Weird.

[00:37:46]

How? Yeah. My personal favorite is the eBay song. You ever heard that one? Oh, you've never heard eBay? Oh, my God. He takes Backstreet Boys, I want it that way and remxes it to be about- You realize we're on the air. I know. Eat it. I was doing a thing and she cut me off.

[00:38:03]

What am I supposed to do? Sorry, sorry. Watch Cynachobe.

[00:38:05]

I mean, it's Cynachobe. Hotball every day where the chemistry is unmatched.

[00:38:08]

Not Monday. Not Monday.

[00:38:09]

Eat it.
