What is the story behind tequila?
Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo.
Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.
Cuervo.
Cuervo.
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Jessica negotiated a very difficult deal in order to get to New York and have in her contract something that said that at any time that we were talking about aviation, she gets an alert and gets to just drop into the show and talk about aviation as our aviation expert and the one who just is fascinated by flying, is tracking flights in her spare time, and must be, I would assume, fascinated by the show we were just talking about. with Nathan Fielder. Mike is right that the awkward comedians, it's Ali G, it's Norm MacDonald, it's Andy Kaufman, but Nathan Fielder wants to take his place among the all-time greats with awkward because what he's doing, the curse is also great. I'm telling you, it's not just this. the rehearsal that's great on Max. I just can't believe the freedom this guy's getting. So Jessica, thank you.
It's nice to see you again. I want all of your thoughts on the rehearsal because I'm assuming you're just fascinated by all things Nathan Fielder. And I just can't believe he's using his comedy this way to actually affect change. He's going to actually do good with what his show is attempting to do. Nice to see you.
Hi, Dan.
I want to talk about the rehearsal, but first I have to say... I also like Gilbert Arenas' podcast, and who cares what that broad's name is on Wolf Blitzer's show?
It was Pamela Brown, incidentally, on The Situation Room. I wish I had known her name. Thank you for that correction. We missed that correction.
You picked one of the worst days to praise Gilbert Arenas and his content ventures.
You know what? I wasn't even – I was not even aware.
I was not even aware. No, we were.
We were hoping.
We were hoping. I had no idea what I said. Zero idea. Know your teammates.
If you were aware and went there, that would have been wild.
Yes. Crazy. If you were aware, don't admit it. I'm still not aware of what he said, though I can guess. Good boy. Good answer. I can guess from your replay. Let's probably not guess out loud.
Nothing wrong with it. It was fine.
The rehearsal finale, well, not just the finale. I don't want to talk about just the finale, but what are your thoughts in general of this series? And did you even, when you first checked out the rehearsal, because this is an acquired taste, you got to give it some time. If you're not just going to believe the word of mouth, you're going to have to give the stuff a minute in order to sort of absorb what he's trying to do.
Yeah, so when I first saw the first episode of season two, I was like, oh, I don't know if I'm going to like this because he was reenacting commercial airline crashes, which is something that obviously myself and I feel like every person is terrified of. And so I was like, maybe this isn't the best show to watch if I'm like a little squeamish around flying. But then I sort of forced myself to keep watching. And then by the episode that Mike was talking about with the Paramount Germany recreation, I was... laughing so hard at his entire bit with paramount germany and one of his nathan for you episodes getting censored um from paramount plus and then there was and the next episode which was even more insane where he recreated the life of sully the famous airline pilot portrayed by tom hanks uh in the movie sully who landed a plane on the hudson the miracle on the hudson not to be confused with the miracle on the mojave uh which happened in the finale but
I was just like, I could not believe what I was watching. And then obviously it's not spoiler Wednesday, but the show came out over a week and a half ago now, and you already played the CNN clip. So I feel like I can spoil this. In the finale, you find out that he's actually been training to be a pilot for the last two years. And they show him, all of a sudden, he's in a plane flying around California. And he wants to fly a 737. He starts going to scrapyards looking for abandoned 737s to fly passengers on a plane so he can act out this pilot communication bit that he's been talking about through the season. And I don't know. It just was one of those television series that after I watched it, I was so blown away by...
