I am eager to hear Juju's thoughts on the show, the audience's thoughts on the show, because it is rare for us to go one topic like that all show. And I imagine there would be some objection to it. I will tell people as Super Bowl week begins that we have an intimate event in New Orleans with Dan Patrick. It's meaningful to me for a lot of reasons. I hope
that we can show our audience and his audience some things that they have not seen before about how we do all of these things that we do in a very different way. I think his show is most simpatico with ours in the cultural landscape over the years. And Tipitina's is where we're going to be doing it in New Orleans. We're keeping it to just a few hundred people, and it's very limited.
So if you have not made plans yet for Wednesday night, you need to just go to our X account. And there may be a few tickets left, but there wouldn't be very many left. And by the end of me talking about this, they'll probably be gone. So I recommend to you that you take part in this if either Dan Patrick or our show, if the environment, the ecosystem is something that's interesting to you.
It is the pinned tweet to top our at Levitard show account. So head over there for just one quick link and take you right to checkout.
And Stugatz is headed out there. I know Billy's in bad shape. His stomach is hurting. That's not great. I don't know what happened with Lucy. I don't know if she fulfilled the challenge. I don't know if she's going to be out there this week. But I did see a bunch of people with suitcases and everything else just leave today.
A bit of a guerrilla operation we've got around here where you just see the company pack up suitcases and run through the rain immediately. to get to the Super Bowl. So everybody's headed out there so that the rest of the week, God bless football, is going to be taking over everything we're doing this week as the number one football podcast in America.
Juju, how upset were people that we spent the whole show on one topic? They're not going to tolerate us doing this again tomorrow.
People were not upset, Dan. It's good to see all you guys, so beautiful people. People weren't upset, man. The breaking news is the breaking news, you dig me? Like, everybody was locked in. It's rare that we go so many days. These things be happening throughout the weekend, and they be wanting your responses on things. So people were very patient with you guys today.
However, JPNT17 says, Dear Levitar Show, y'all are on crack if you think the Celtics would trade Tatum for Luka.
I agree with that. When you guys said that earlier, I was like, no, they wouldn't.
OK, that's fine. But there are four or five players and we can have arguments and disagreements about all of it. Luca is unarguably by the metrics, the better offensive player, the more efficient offensive player with less help than Jason Tatum had.
Tatum wasn't even the MVP during the finals. I don't understand why they wouldn't trade a lesser player for a better player.
Nice. Also, too, I think this has happened before, Dan. I remember on Radio Row a couple of years ago, I asked Justin Fields, how did he feel about the blockbuster trade sending Kevin Durant to the Suns? So I think that there hasn't been nothing of this magnitude, but the NBA has been playing with this week for a couple of years now.
OK, so this isn't I thought trade deadline and Super Bowl week merging on this week was something that was new to this year. Am I wrong about that? I thought that the season, the football season was longer and that these two things didn't happen the same week. I've got that wrong.
Yeah, I mean, I can send you the video. Okay. Me and Justin Fields, where we at in the Kevin Durant being traded. All right. Right on the spot. All right, my bad. You feel me? It's all good. No, nobody's bad ever. That's the thing. It's New Year. That's not true at all. Nobody's bad. Nah, nobody's bad at anything. Okay.
Only if you've been in a plane crash. If you've been in a plane crash, then you are no longer a bad person.
Aye, aye, aye. Also $2 for calling me Guillermo the other day, but that's neither here nor there. Did you know that Nico Harrison was the Mavs GM before you realized his incompetence? 86 of the audience said no. Oh, wow.
So a whole lot of people were the same as me. And I felt guilt about this, where when Mark Cuban wasn't the one out here talking, I was confused. It's not a Nelson. It's not Mark Cuban. It's not someone from the Nelson family. What's happening right now? I don't know this person speaking on behalf of the Mavs. Who have they thrown out here to explain the unexplainable?
Also, has the iPad replaced the newspaper as the thing that you bring into the bathroom? 75% of the audience says, yes, it has.
People thought I was a liar there. People still think I'm a liar that they think that I'm regularly that I'm not hiding from children in the bathroom with my eye.
Can we go back to the Mavericks real fast? Do you think Jason Kidd tried to get out of that press conference where he's just like, you don't need me up there, right? You're good. Right. And he's like, no, no, I think we should be aligned. He's just like, oh, oh, all right. I'll go up there with you. I definitely want to be up there.
Right. I don't think that he doesn't have plans on being there for 10 years. That's what legendary coaches do and plan for. So I think that the GM was a little bit goofy in that moment. But salute to him.
Goofy. That is basically you slicing someone up. Ah, come on. For you. For you. For you. You're gentle with these people. Calling someone goofy. But he was goofy. There's that awkward. At best, we went awkward there. Did we not?
Yes, sir. Absolutely awkward. The look on Jason's kid's face was priceless. You dig me? Are you a fan of the Pro Bowl? 92 percent of the audience says no, they are not.
So, Jessica, what's happening there where you're you're I think it is just popular to complain about the exhibitions.
Some people just don't really like football, and that's fine.
That's okay. It's not okay. It's not okay around here. It's not okay in this America.
I don't really watch that much of the NBA. That's okay.
Put it on the poll at Levitard Show, Juju. Is it okay to not like football in America at Levitard Show? What else you got?
Is it wrong if a Jim Nance interview takes place anywhere other than in front of a fireplace? 90% of the audience says yes, it is very wrong.
It's strange, though, because I also think of him as somebody who's wearing a sweater around his shoulders or wearing a sweater as well, which isn't something I associate with a fireplace. That's an either or situation for me. Do I have that wrong? I'm not a cold weather person.
You're very wrong. It's a Q-Zip, too.
And I have confirmed Butler Cabin has a fireplace directly in the center.
Yes, of course it does. It's like what a cabin is supposed to have. It can't be a cabin without a fireplace.
Yeah, and like a quarter zip is like a cozy outer garment that you can wear inside.
I feel like a sweater and a fireplace is too much. Now I'm hot. Precisely.
No.
Well, but a quarter zip is... Cozy.
You're cozy. Quarter zip is fine. You're warm. Toasty, I would also use as another synonym.
Yes. I'm a real ignorant novice here when it comes to cold weather things. Pick up a booth.
I'm glad we got Mike Ryan here today. What's up, brother? You're looking beautiful as always. Someone from Twitter, however, says Mike Ryan is skating on the Eagles won't make the playoffs this year take.
Yeah, I was told that happened. No, I said that the NFL caught up to what Sirianni was doing offensively. And for the first couple of weeks, it was looking all right. But then that but then that bye week came and they totally changed their identity. And yeah, I'll eat it. Kelly Moore and Sirianni, they figured something out. No doubt. They're completely different.
For a full season, it felt like he was incapable of moving on from the offense that he had under Steichen. No, credit to them. I was wrong.
Yeah, salute to you, Mike. Accountability at its finest. Man.
Well, but he didn't volunteer before now and had to be called out public.
No, I mean, yeah, no, I appreciate the opportunity to say I'm sorry, Philadelphia.
Do Wimby next.
No, I was right about that. I warned you all. I warned you all.
He did warn us all. He did warn us all because some of that Wimby stuff be looking like, okay, this brother didn't even jump. I'm like, okay, what are we doing? Neither here nor there. Is the number 77 the opposite of slimming? 85% of the audience says yes.
You say neither here nor there, but as a basketball head, Juju, your thoughts are that De'Aaron Fox is going to become what next to Wemby? Because that has the potential of being very quietly a really smart, strategic move that De'Aaron Fox just made. Nobody ever wants to be traded to San Antonio.
I don't know that I could give Wemby a better compliment than he wants people to come play with him in San Antonio. Yeah.
Right, and they didn't have to give up the rookie castle or Vassell. I think that the Spurs just put themselves in the conversation for that championship. Sometime soon, maybe not this year, but they have a bright future in San Antonio.
Nobody cares if it's not this year, though, right? Like, it's maybe not this year because we're all aware, holy shit, Wemby's 21. He might still actually be physically growing.
Right. That's scary. So scary. Is the Impractical Jokers somewhere on your TV at all times? 64% of the people says yes, it is.
Is it because they've got some special deal with their intellectual property that they were able to do that? Because Impractical Jokers, I think, is one of the great business television moves of all time. But I don't understand. I think it's just because they own all their own shit, right? And they could just put it everywhere. And it's just who doesn't want to watch that for 22 minutes?
Right. That and ridiculousness.
I was about to say, ridiculousness would like a word in this conversation of most re-airable shows ever.
But so MTV just became ridiculousness, correct? Ridiculousness exists as something to just re-air all the time at what used to be the great mountain of sports, or I'm sorry, innovation in music and television, music television. It's just ridiculousness now.
How is that possible? It is ridiculousness. I don't know, brother. America is happening right now. Everything is happening. And speaking of happening, salute to Kendrick Lamar for a clean sweep last night at the Grammys. Beyonce with album of the year. Oh, my God. The Grammys was so entertaining. I came into the Grammys thinking, oh, here we go.
I'm going to have to get chaperoned over the head to death. But I'm like, dang, chaperone is a cool person. She spoke and advocated for people. Sabrina Carpenter was everything. Hats off to the Grammys last night. It was phenomenal.
We didn't talk Grammys at all today, and I have fallen out of all award show interest of almost any kind. Did the Grammys capture your attention yesterday as a music guy, Mike?
It was going on at the same time as the NASCAR race, but I saw the final third of it. My wife watched the entire thing. She said all the performances were great. She couldn't name her favorite one, really, quite honestly. Right. I went back and watched this Chaperone thing because I love that goddamn song.
Do you think Jane Smith was looking at, like, come on, Kanye? I put a house on my head. I can't get any of the headlines, Kanye.
Pink Pony Club is anthemic. It is a great song.
Juju, what else from the Grammys was worth talking about that we didn't get to today?
I mean, like Mike said, Chris said, the outfits were pretty crazy. I think that Kanye and his wife, they definitely took a chance last night and got the heck on. I don't know. It was a lot. I don't want to be critical of these people because they live in their own lives. But when you've got kids walking around those red carpets and everything, it's kind of hard to stomach some of that stuff.
But salute, hats off to everybody. Hats off to also just the production, Dolce. It's just a lot of names who just really stepped up last night and just did a great job.
Are you dressed this way because you're returning from some sort of Grammys after party or what is it? What is happening here? I'm not used to the tie instead of the jerseys and the and the gear.
Oh, man. So somebody throw the dead fish in Dan's lap. I'm actually on the way to a funeral after this shortly. Oh, no. And the timing was a little different. You feel me? I threw on the Mexico hat just to show my brothers and sisters support. You feel me? Thank you. I'll take off my hat. You feel me?
Yes, sir. All right. Give me the dead fish in here. I'm sorry I ended that way, Juju.
In your defense, though, Juju's so stylish, it's not crazy for him to show up in a suit.
That's correct. But if I had the last 10 seconds of my life to do over again, I would do them differently.
It's all good, brother. I love you guys. See you later, Drew.
