What is the siren's call that Dan is trying to resist?
Amin just hit me with a voice that was kind of between on the spectrum, lecherous and seductive. And he said to me by way of good morning, and I'd be curious what you guys would guess he was talking about. He's like, Dan, are you going to be able to resist the sirens call? Are you going to be able today to resist it? Do you guys have any guesses on what the sirens call is? Opening day. That's what Jeremy whispered to me. That was a different conversation. Oh, I can't wait. It's going to be a fast opening day. It's going to take an hour and a half. What did you say, Billy? I didn't hear you. You said I might earn my bonus tonight. Would have been a funny joke.
Yeah, you know.
It's fine. Move on. What do you think the siren's call is? Hmm.
There's a number of options. Riley, could it be? Oh, I know what it is. I absolutely know what it is. I think.
I think? LeBron on McAfee? That's what my guess is going to be, LeBron on McAfee. No, well, it's adjacent. Stephen A. I love the confidence. I love the confidence of I absolutely know what it is I think. That should be a life principle for you. Like to peter out at the end with I think. I absolutely know something I don't absolutely know.
Well, I thought we were talking about Jimmy or something, but there's a bet going on, so I don't know if that's what was in play. But then I remembered, you know. I mean, there's a number of LeBron things. LeBron started up his podcast again. Sands, J.J. Redick. He was doing it with Steve Nash. Then LeBron was on with McAfee for like an hour and a half or something. There's a number of things there. I mean, let me check the trades, see if anyone signed a media deal. Hold on a second.
That's the siren's call for Dan. Check the trades. Variety. Variety. Hollywood reporter.
Where do you get your media news these days? Where do you get the trades? What are the trades?
Awful Announcing?
Ryan Glashpiegel, right? Awful Announcing has someone on staff just to write about this show, right? Like, that seems to be the case.
Several people. I think it's Ryan. I don't think it's Brian. I said Ryan. Oh, did you?
Okay, I'm sorry.
He also said Obama yesterday.
Now, that one you missed. Yeah, you missed that. That was a... $600 million fine it should have been. Crazy, man. Venmo can just retire. They're like, hey, Amin paid that one fine that one time. We're good for life.
He called Osama Bin Laden Obama.
Why is Russell Wilson's move to the Giants significant?
Yeah. I've never felt more like, oh, this is what happens when you live in a red state for too long. And SEAL Team 6 killed Obama.
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
I don't know when Russell Wilson's professional career began, but if you had told me in 2010, if you had come up to me and said, you're not going to believe this, but in 2025, you're not just going to be talking about what LeBron James said. You're going to be talking about what he did in 2025, 15 years ago, while a Russell Wilson signing makes you profoundly sad. I would not have had the ability to understand what you were talking about because Russell Wilson going to the Giants, I saw that happen. I'm like, oh, two lonely people met and are not going to find love. That's not going to end in the way that anyone thinks it's going to end, and it just made me sad.
But Dan, isn't it, on some level, two lonely people who know there's nothing going on tonight, so it's 3 a.m., the lights are coming on. You lock eyes. Yeah, and it's like, hey, were you my dream partner, the person I was going to spend the rest of my life with? Not really, but maybe tonight.
Almost like one of those pacts that people make on TV shows where they're like, hey, if we're not married by the time we're 40, you want to just go ahead and get married? It feels like one of those where both of them have just kind of reached a space in life where it's like, all right, we could settle for this.
