What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
So, I am in the company of a man who almost won a Pulitzer Prize by hiring someone who did later win a Pulitzer Prize. So congratulations to Dan Levitard. I haven't seen Dan for a couple of weeks, so I have all of this hubbub and hoopla about the Pulitzer Prize. I just wonder how Dan feels about it because, you know, are you a Pulitzer Prize? Do you get one of those coins? It's like a small gold coin. Do you get one of those?
I don't know. We are in the episode with Pablo, me, Amin, and Samson. But you do realize everyone who is full-time here won a Pulitzer Prize. Everything that we do here funds everything Pablo's doing in New York. So everyone here who is full-time and has a percentage of this company... is a Pulitzer winner because they're the ones who funded we're the ones who funded that work so we didn't do the work Pablo did the work, but we did the work in allowing the work to be done. So everyone here, I don't feel like you guys realize that you all are Pulitzer winners. Like, that's what happens.
Well, I'm not full time.
We're all Pulitzer winners just the way you guys would have been highlight champions. Yeah. Dan, you were a battle court fall champion. You didn't seem to care too much. Pablo doesn't really make it seem like I won a Pulitzer Prize, though. Yeah, I'd like Pablo to acknowledge my contribution. Yeah, and mine as a key twice a week temp. Amin's really elbowed anybody else away.
He's unusually proud of it. He flew to Los Angeles as I was flying back saying, we got to go have drinks. Amin is happier about this than anyone I've seen about this. And Cody is one of the few people I've noticed who cares because...
How does the Pulitzer Prize affect the show's dynamics?
I'm not joking when I say this. When I called Pablo to congratulate him, he had to do to me what I just did to you guys, which is, you realize this is yours too, Dan, right? Because I didn't do the work. He did the work, but we did the work that makes all of what Pablo's doing possible. I don't think the people listening to this quite understand the calamity that the media landscape is actually in, where... That show, it's very hard for anyone in corporate media to actually do that show because of how compromised everyone in corporate media is with all of their partnerships. Doing truth-telling shows that's going to bother, you basically have in all of the five companies that are running America, they don't want to actually make anything interesting.
They don't want to make anything that offends anybody.
No, it's a valuable honor that was won by the Pablo Torre show. I just think that if I'm being honest, to say that everyone connected with Metal Ark Media has won a Pulitzer Prize is a bit much.
It's not, though. Metal Ark Media is a Pulitzer Prize winning media company. And Metal Ark Media is the one that paid for everything. everything Pablo's doing. So wait a minute. So when somebody wins something, anything in sports, does the owner get to win something or not?
Let me give you an example. And none of what I'm saying is belittling this in any way. But to give you an analogy, the Miami Herald has won a lot of Pulitzer Prizes. I think 12 or 15 or 18 or something. I've worked for the Miami Herald during all of those Pulitzer Prizes. Does that mean I am a Pulitzer Prize winner?
If the Miami Herald wins a Pulitzer Prize, you work for a company that is a Pulitzer Prize winning company.
Wait, so is Clay Bennett actually the NBA MVP? No, he is the champion.
He funds the operation. He's the champion owner. He's not the MVP, but he's the champion. You don't win the MVP as a team. It's an individual award.
What makes OKC the first-ever sneaky dynasty?
You do win a championship as a team.
This feels more like an MVP. At least that's the way Pablo's making it seem.
Yeah.
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Juju, put it on the poll, please. Is OKC going to be the first ever sneaky dynasty? The OKC is now in the Western Conference Finals again. They swept LeBron.
