Amin joins from Vegas to discuss who will win tonight's Cup Final and to play some NBA Trivia with Stugotz. Then, Roy Wood Jr. stops by to discuss needing products on TV commercials, what his kid wants for Christmas, drones, missing the good old days for conspiracy theories, and why we all need to stay out of Travis Hunter's business.

Chapter 1: What is the Emirates NBA Cup and why is it important?
That was pretty good work. Quick work. The voice is too good. That's the problem.
You also have something in your voice, Dan.
I do. I'm sorry. I was just a mass-consuming chicken at a high rate of speed. I'm sorry I did that. Have I Got News For You is the new quiz show, and it's a news quiz show, slightly better than the one we just did with Amin. It's Saturdays at 9 p.m. on CNN. It is Sundays on Max. And Roy Wood Jr.
is doing hard work during the holidays while Bill Maher and John Oliver get lazy during an important time and take all this time off. And Roy, I appreciate the good work you're still out here doing on behalf of comedy and the American people as these bums John Oliver and Maher take a bunch of time off during an important time in the schedule. Are you a fan of the holidays?
I'm a fan of money, Dan Levitard.
That's why we're going to knock out one more episode real quick, and I might even go kick a New Year's Eve with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen. You never know.
If the check is right, I'm going to be there. Oh, please tell me that's a thing that can be so. What do I need to do to get America to advocate for that to be a thing? Listen to me, America. America, we need Roy Wood right now. We need to drink on CNN. We need CNN to lighten up. We need CNN to be strong right now. CNN needs to get to work. stronger than it presently is.
And on New Year's Eve, you need to be allowed to unleash with Anderson Cooper.
Dan, I don't know if you know what happened to the last black man that got drunk on CNN on New Year's Eve. They kind of ran him out the door there, Dan Levitan. I'm trying to keep a job. Limited, try to limit my ass. Not a fan of the holidays, Dan Levitan. I don't mind them, but I don't love it. I don't look forward to it.

Chapter 2: Who are the favorites for the NBA Cup Final?
It was Randy Quaid from Independence Day telling you time and time again the whole movie. I'm telling you, they vacuumed me up there and they did it with me. And now everybody in Jersey, come on. You think aliens go into Jersey? They got guns in Jersey. Aliens ain't stupid. There's too many people over there. Why would you come to a populated area like that?
So yeah, we'll take my son to a museum. That's my point, Dan Levitar. We'll take him to a museum of natural history and why I have to stand there and pretend to be impressed by fossils. Can we stop acting like dinosaurs were so great? They died. They lost. And you dig up their bones, and you exalt them. And it's not like dinosaurs got ran off by pollution or mankind intervention.
You just lost to Mother Nature. You're weak. And these museums, you hang up all of these trophies of losers who just didn't evolve, didn't figure it out. You die. An asteroid hit, and you couldn't figure it out. And now I'm supposed to be impressed by your bones. But you can't say that because he's a child and you want him to be impressed by the world. I think the dinosaurs weren't real rumor.
It was started by parents who are tired of going to these museums.
Well, but, okay, so you have seen us in a unique space in America where people are believing on the internet all manner of conspiracy theory and there are movements behind this. We are not talking about this alien thing enough. This alien thing is not something that this program or any news program is covering enough that
people really believe that those drones are something from another world the the problem with conspiracy theories now is that they're too easily spread it's too easy to just say something stupid taylor swift the lizard lady who supported joe biden and people just go okay if you believed in something wild back in the day you had to print it on a flyer you had to stand on the corner and you had to pass flyers out and tell people what the hell was going on you tell you have to form a cult
Remember, why do you think these documentaries about cults is all from, like, the 70s and 80s, where people would read? There's no new cults, because you're too lazy. Like, if you believed something back in the day, you had to get out, you had to take people in the forest, build a commune, have a couple kids, and then the feds would raid you and shut you down. That's how conspiracy used to start.
Now you just say something stupid.
It's too easy. He's right. It's too easy.

This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stukas Podcast. Amin. Yes. It's Billy Gill, co-worker. Hello. In Miami. How's it going? You did it. You got one over on Dan. Got to send you to Vegas for this Mickey Mouse cup that they got going on there. Good to just play around. I see you in a robe, sunglasses. Spa. Probably drinking on the company dime. And maybe you go to a Thunder game. Maybe you don't.
Who knows what differences it make. You did it. Congrats.

Chapter 7: How does Amin Elhassan feel about his trip to Vegas?
This last question. Oddball. Well done.
I think Billy might be saying we're wasting money in Vegas with a quiz. I think that might be why he's laughing. No, I didn't say that.
I would never. Well, I mean, the quiz isn't why I went to Vegas.
Keep milking that cow and me as long as there's milk.
Thanks, Billy, but I'm not milking the cow. I'm milking it to make cheese and milk and yogurt, and then I'm killing the cow and making ribeye steak, and I'm serving it to the whole company. That's what I'm doing here. All right, final question.
If you kill the cow, then we can't get any more milk.
Well, we got a lot out of it.
This is a thief. This is a professional thief.
Oh, Billy, I agree.
