Hour 2: The Fuzz

Speaker 1 Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.
Cuervo.

Speaker 2 What are you doing here?

Speaker 3 Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Speaker 4 Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like Cuervo, I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

Speaker 3 Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Speaker 5 Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

Speaker 1 The same family, the same land, the same passion.

Speaker 4 Cuervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.

Speaker 7 Cuervo. Cuervo.

Speaker 1 The tequila that invented tequila.

Speaker 8 Proximo, eruvo.com, please drink responsibly. Cuervo.

Speaker 11 This is the Dan Labatar Show with the Stu Gats Podcast.

Speaker 12 All right, guys, it's time for Against the Spring.

Speaker 8 Come on, and it's presented by Queen Dumb again.

Speaker 3 Come on, Jazzlo wants to do it again. Jazzlo didn't know how to do it.

Speaker 5 All right, guys, it's time once again for

Speaker 8 Against the Spray.

Speaker 2 And it's presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.

Speaker 10 Billy,

Speaker 15 I'm going to start on the hardwood.

Speaker 16 Wow.

Speaker 15 Right across the street, we got a big one today. The Golden State Warriors.
What are they playing? Mine and five and a half

Speaker 15 against the Miami Heat at home. Now, here's something not that many people are talking about.
There's one person that's been mentioning it, but not many people are talking about.

Speaker 15 The Warriors are coming on, coming in.

Speaker 15 0 for 1 in their last one. Big losing streak.
The Heat, on the other hand, coming in 1-0.

Speaker 11 I told you, that's the headline I want tonight on TNT.

Speaker 15 That's what's happening right now. One team losing streak, the other team winning streak.

Speaker 15 Tensions are going to be high if there isn't kind of like an embrace at the beginning of the game, thank yous, and all that. The experts are saying that's probably not what we're going to expect.

Speaker 15 We're going to be looking out to see if one Jimmy Butler, who's coming back, gives a look to Pat Riley at some point in the game. But you know what?

Speaker 15 I don't know that the Golden State Warriors, again, coming in on a losing streak, are going to be be able to go up against the Miami Heat and the Heat culture and the pressure that comes with one of the greatest fan bases in the NBA.

Speaker 15 So the fact that the line is minus five and a half for the road team, again, coming in on a losing streak, facing the red-hot Miami Heat 1-0 in their last one, I'm going to have to take the Miami Heat plus 5.5 tonight against the Warriors against

Speaker 14 the spread.

Speaker 18 Tony, hate to do this, but in that very same game, very juicy spread of minus five and a half to a team that's lost 11 out of their last 12 games.

Speaker 19 1-0.

Speaker 18 1-0, of course, but have lost 11 of their last 12 games. We don't know if Steph Curry's going to play, but we do know that Jimmy Butler's going to play.

Speaker 18 And I'm going to bank on. Jimmy Butler having a pretty good game.

Speaker 3 You can't do this this way. We're in a contract year with DraftKings.

Speaker 2 I know, but I'm trying to give people value.

Speaker 15 We're not talking about the fact that Jimmy Butler completely, allegedly trashed the place that he used to rent. Like, what happens if, you know, the Fuzz comes to talk to him before the game?

Speaker 8 They're going to know exactly where he is.

Speaker 9 The fuzz.

Speaker 8 The FBI.

Speaker 15 They come up. They talk to him.
The police, 5-0, Popo, they say, you know what, Jimmy, there's been a complaint. We need to do an investigation here.
You trash your former residence here.

Speaker 10 You guys hear about this?

Speaker 17 Sazo, you know about this? I do.

Speaker 15 Yeah, what happens if there's an investigation and he ends up not being able to suit up?

Speaker 15 Five and a half is a lot.

Speaker 20 How much do you think the security deposit is that they're threatening to keep?

Speaker 8 Is it a million?

Speaker 3 I thought it was millions of dollars. It was a couple hundred grand.

Speaker 1 The security deposit is a couple hundred grand.

Speaker 7 Like $250.

Speaker 3 I thought, put it on the poll, please, Juju at Labatarge, show over or under of the person who calls the police the fuzz.

Speaker 3 100 years old. Put the number at 100 years old.

Speaker 15 You find a place with hundreds of thousand dollars, a million-dollar security deposit, you find another place.

Speaker 15 There's plenty of places that you can live at that don't have a million-dollar security deposit. I go by Popo.

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Have you guys seen Jimmy when he does like architectural

Speaker 3 digest?

Speaker 7 Digest. Digest.
Well said. Wow.
5-0.

Speaker 3 I'm more of a 12-year-old. His home in California is his second home, and it's unbelievable.
Like the places that this person lives, there's a reason he wanted that extension.

Speaker 20 So you can't digest or say digest.

Speaker 20 I'm going to say that.

Speaker 18 Golden State minus five and a half.

Speaker 3 Jess, you must never apologize for making a digestion joke at my expense.

Speaker 8 You can't even have an orange.

Speaker 3 That has to be a safe space for all of us.

Speaker 3 I am still alarmed as we head into this second hour, hour two of the show. It's actually the fourth hour of the show, but it's hour two of the show.
Yeah, we do a lot of show.

Speaker 3 Zaszlo said something that I have not heard for all of the content made everywhere about this stupid Jimmy Butler game.

Speaker 3 I have not heard said plainly on television what Zaszlo just said during a break. He just said, Jimmy's full of shit.

Speaker 22 Yeah, he's a liar.

Speaker 11 Yeah, he's a liar.

Speaker 13 Go on. Well,

Speaker 11 so Jimmy was asked with his media availability yesterday, amongst a bunch of questions, you know, essentially,

Speaker 11 when did you know that things were awry? Like, you know, and he was like, you know, I knew at the end of last year. So back in May, you knew that we were at the point of no return?

Speaker 11 And he said, yes, I knew back then. Well, then why were we asking for an extension over the summer?

Speaker 11 And Jimmy was also asked, if you signed the extension, if the heat gave you the money, was this situation avoidable?

Speaker 9 And he said, flatly, no.

Speaker 11 So A, why did you ask for the extension when you knew things were done with? And B, he's just trying to make it sound like it's not about money when we know it's about money. It's only about money.

Speaker 11 It's always about money. So I think he's full of shit.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 3 So you could say full of shit, but I would say, doesn't he end up being right about it's 35 years old and the last 16 games have proven that franchise wasn't going to give me an extension that got me to 37 and I need to get my money now because I'm tired of playing with these bums.

Speaker 25 Like,

Speaker 3 isn't that what happened? Like, isn't that some form of, I know they're my friends and everything, but I'm tired of playing with these bums who have turned out in 11 games since to appear like bums.

Speaker 11 But he's saying that even if they gave him the money, he was at the point of no return, that he didn't want to play there anymore. And I think that's nonsense.

Speaker 3 But, okay, you can say that it's nonsense, and I would see how a proud athlete would be disrespected by, hey, do you know basketball's history on who does 40-point games, eight games in the postseason?

Speaker 3 Like, no, get me better dudes.

Speaker 20 You see, we're at the point in this saga where now you guys sound like people that have been dumped and you keep wanting to rehash how the dumping happened.

Speaker 20 And I'm the friend who keeps having to hear about it

Speaker 10 over and over and over and over again.

Speaker 20 And I'm like, hey, man, I know it was a really hard breakup and I feel for you, but we need to move on now.

Speaker 11 All right, but the girl that I broke up with is in front of a microphone being asked questions coming over to your house.

Speaker 26 And she let other people

Speaker 28 and looks great and she's so upset i get it talking about we need to oh but she's gonna look like shit in two years that's though am i right she's gonna look so bad in two years you know i have a breakup song she should probably look

Speaker 15 at a couple breakup song if you want it i'm about to totally busted yeah we don't want the breakup song yet uh the heat we're not wrong by the way and are not wrong in not wanting to give 37 year old jimmy butler a ton of money like that is crazy reckless irresponsible what what is wrong with the heat having wanted him to play out the contract they gave him?

Speaker 3 I don't want to have this conversation again. When you say, though, that it would have been reckless to give it to him, perhaps, but one team was willing, and it's why Jimmy wins.

Speaker 3 Like, yes, it's reckless. And Golden State gave him the money, and he got the money, and because he was telling everybody, I'm 35.

Speaker 3 I know it's over. You guys don't know what these bums are.
You don't know what I've been carrying for five years. I know I keep saying bums again and again, but like he's been.

Speaker 12 I don't know.

Speaker 9 I feel like there have been some real, well, sure, you're talking about the end of the roster this season, and we can go through those names, right?

Speaker 9 Mo Harkless and Dwayne Dedman and all these guys that were at the end of the rotation or out of the roster, but like why are we still mitigating it?

Speaker 20 And Liam Hicks.

Speaker 21 Yeah, and Connor Norby.

Speaker 3 So you guys are right.

Speaker 13 And the reason

Speaker 3 I want to, I'm going to get to these songs in a second, but before I do that, because you may be indeed tired, as I'm sure you are, of storylines instead of real basketball, I've been telling you that Juju Gotti is a special talent around here.

Speaker 3 And last season, Juju took over our live YouTube after games in a show called Alley Oop, and it does basketball a little bit less storyline and a little bit better than the heat homerism you find around here.

Speaker 3 From who?

Speaker 3 Yeah, I can't believe we brought in somebody. Jess, we brought in somebody who's more of a homer than the other homers.

Speaker 20 Yeah, and the girl always looks so much worse in a couple years, but you're going to look really good because you're going to go to the gym. You're going to get your life turned around.

Speaker 20 You're not going to keep falling into the same patterns that you've been falling into your entire life. This is really when change starts.

Speaker 11 Look, that girl is going to look busted.

Speaker 12 Woman in a girl.

Speaker 20 You're going to look so good. Woman.

Speaker 17 Your body looks so good. He's busted now.

Speaker 15 Yeah, he looks terrible now. Woman.

Speaker 15 Not anyone, you know, hypothetically, of course.

Speaker 3 Woman.

Speaker 15 What? That was the problem there.

Speaker 3 Let's introduce the audience to Alio.

Speaker 30 Look, where the Celtic jersey?

Speaker 25 It ain't even handy. It's right here.
I got a look.

Speaker 28 It's right here behind the juju. You don't make me broke my wall.
Look, coming down on the juju.

Speaker 14 It's up there.

Speaker 27 Broke your wall. Hey.

Speaker 31 Got me messing up.

Speaker 30 Look, you're knocking down up, Mike.

Speaker 32 How many damn jerseys do you have?

Speaker 33 Every time I go to church, I'd be like, sorry, I gotta

Speaker 35 wear the jaw tonight.

Speaker 36 I gotta wear the Luca to the Mavericks motherfucker to Sunday service.

Speaker 37 But look, well, look at Josh. What?

Speaker 30 He's what we call a whore fan. Everybody can get some of Juju.
He got every jersey.

Speaker 23 Bruh.

Speaker 33 We're gonna get to these damn Knicks because every time I see Josh, I see him saying, Michael Jalen Brunson, you feel me?

Speaker 29 The Knicks is this, this, brother.

Speaker 29 Dante DiVincenzo turned over his damn grave right now.

Speaker 33 Y'all got rid of that man for this.

Speaker 34 Y'all boy lost to the Spurs.

Speaker 33 The tanking spurt, them boy tanking like Silk the Shocker.

Speaker 39 Them boy tanking like Mia X, sir.

Speaker 34 And y'all boy lost to the Spurs.

Speaker 30 We missing our engine right now. You really gonna judge us

Speaker 30 over these games? We're missing our engine.

Speaker 33 Versus the Spurs, yes.

Speaker 27 Versus the Blazers, yes.

Speaker 30 not in san antonio you're not really waking up to play the spurs we really a playoff aspiring we know we better than the plan

Speaker 30 we know we we as long as we could evade yannis in that first round and people like that we are we we we are right people like that like you trying to avoid people like that let me news flash the bucks is about the sixth seventh best team in the league

Speaker 36 every top team you're gonna have to play somebody i know the game now i don't

Speaker 30 yannis and Dame is like that combination nobody's seen yet. And I don't want to be the team to find out that they them guys in the playoffs.
I don't want to be that team again.

Speaker 30 You found out about Hallie Byrne.

Speaker 32 We got rumors that Damian Lillard is going to request a trade again. They had to have an in-house meeting with Doc Rivers.
It's okay. You'll be fine.
It's Doc Rivers at the helm.

Speaker 32 He's not going to beat the Knicks. He's not worth it.

Speaker 32 He's not ready for that. But you need to worry about the Detroit Pistons.
That's who you need to worry about.

Speaker 23 Exactly.

Speaker 32 Because remember,

Speaker 32 we already know what's up with Cat. Remember Cat when he was playing your Memphis Grizzlies, Juju?

Speaker 38 I stopped my Memphis Grizzlies.

Speaker 33 I'm just fresh.

Speaker 37 That's all it is, bro.

Speaker 27 I just got swaver, swag plus flavor.

Speaker 32 And he was, he was like, we in Minnesota now. We in Minnesota now.

Speaker 32 And like, that's the guy that is the piece that is adding to the New York Knicks on top of Mikkel Bridges. So you you have one Isaiah Stewart elbow to the face.

Speaker 32 Make him draw, make him bleed his own blood, and then we'll see what happens.

Speaker 35 Exactly.

Speaker 23 That boy's going to cry to the locker room.

Speaker 22 Who else on the team?

Speaker 32 PJ Tucker, though, he's on the list. He's the enforcer.
He's the one who's going to come in the 20-year-old kicks with the 20-year-old glue. And he's the James Johnson of this team.

Speaker 30 You know what it is about the PJ Tucker pickup? When he comes in the middle of the year, it's not the same thing as when you spent

Speaker 30 a training camp with

Speaker 30 some young kids and stuff like that.

Speaker 30 He just came, and when I look at him, I feel like that. Like, you're just here to collect a check.
You're not ready to slap nobody. Like, I need somebody that's ready to slap somebody.

Speaker 30 Wait, wait, wait. Why we got a Knicks segment? I'm not understanding what's happening.

Speaker 12 You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 30 Nah, don't roll out the red carpet for me. This is what I'm talking about.

Speaker 30 And if he can't come back at you because you got five teams, and you're trying to act like you're a Celtic fan, you're not a Celtic fan.

Speaker 33 Come on, I'm a Celtics fan only.

Speaker 30 But we're the Celtic jersey.

Speaker 25 And they're

Speaker 25 right here. I got a...

Speaker 28 Look, it's right here behind the Juju. You don't make me broke my wall.
Look, coming down on the Juju.

Speaker 14 It's up there.

Speaker 27 Broke your wall. Hey.

Speaker 38 Got me messing up.

Speaker 30 Look, you knocking down up, Mike.

Speaker 36 But look, back to the niche, bro. Y'all got Tracy Morgan throwing up on the sideline, eating them weak-ass nachos in the Madison Square Garden, bro.

Speaker 22 Get some real cuisine in there, bro.

Speaker 39 That's a legend.

Speaker 23 Y'all got that boy throwing up, bro. I don't like it, bro.

Speaker 12 Precious a chewer.

Speaker 32 You can tell Juji's never been underneath of MSG. You know, he's never been into the sky mile set of the Delta Lounge.
Because the food's ridiculous in the Delta Lounge.

Speaker 14 Don't give a damn like a hotel with no time to kill. I've been feeling like a officer.

Speaker 23 Hello? Hello?

Speaker 38 What are you waiting for, man? What are you waiting for, woman? What are you waiting for, family dog?

Speaker 27 Call right now.

Speaker 33 Who is the goofiest team in the NBA thus far?

Speaker 23 I have put, I got the, I got the Miami Heat slash the Sixers.

Speaker 39 Now, the Sixers, of course, we all know, they spun the whole bag on Paul George, podcast P, you feel me?

Speaker 22 Who just realized two weeks ago that, wait a second, this podcast thing is a little distracting.

Speaker 29 Maybe I should put that down. Only the disco located fibular two two weeks later not he out for the season.

Speaker 33 And then the Miami Heat, I'm not sure what they thought was going to go on.

Speaker 29 They kind of put Jimmy Butler out there.

Speaker 27 They exposed all of his bad habits.

Speaker 33 They didn't want to pay him.

Speaker 39 They said he wasn't flying to the game with the team.

Speaker 33 He flying on his private jet only to make one of the goofiest trades in the goofball history of the goofy America.

Speaker 33 Andrew Wiggins, you thought Andrew Wiggins was actually finna come back and make a difference?

Speaker 24 I don't know, bro.

Speaker 29 What y'all think?

Speaker 29 Who's y'all's choice for the goofiest team in the league right now?

Speaker 32 I got Dallas. Dallas has gotta be Dallas has gotta be number one.

Speaker 32 And

Speaker 32 it's not just the Luka trade. Like, the Luka trade is obviously really, really bad, and that's like the top of the pyramid of dumbass things that they've done this year, or period.

Speaker 32 So, like, you trade for Luca and you say, we're looking for the long term, but you trade for a guy who's literally his nickname is

Speaker 32 skin of paper, bones of glass, and he doesn't even make it a full game before he ends up getting injured.

Speaker 32 And now you're trying to tank and he wants to go back and play games and you're trying to shut him down. Okay, so that's that part.

Speaker 32 And then you end up trading for Quentin Grimes in the offseason for Tim Hardaway Jr. And you paid four second round picks for Quentin Grimes.

Speaker 32 Now Quentin Grimes gets traded at the trade deadline and you have to give a second round pick to trade him as well. And you get Caleb Martin back.
Caleb Martin's not playing no damn games.

Speaker 32 Why did they get the pick? It was such a bad trade that they actually got a second round back at the deadline because they're like, oh yeah, sorry, y'all. He's a lot more hurt than we thought.

Speaker 32 And now Quentin Grimes is playing for Philadelphia and he's putting up 40. And you can't even field a full team.

Speaker 32 And then because of the Quentin Grimes trade, you can't even sign any two-way players, not Not even a 10-day contract. So you might end up forfeiting games.
That is insane.

Speaker 32 That's some of the goofiest shit I have seen.

Speaker 36 Josh, what you think, bro?

Speaker 34 Goofiest team thus far.

Speaker 30 I'm going to agree with Trister, and

Speaker 30 I'm going to tell you why.

Speaker 30 You trade Luca Donchic,

Speaker 30 last year's leading scorer.

Speaker 30 Last year's finals runner-up. Before the finals, how was they talking about Luca?

Speaker 30 Like he was Michael Jovan. You're gonna trade him for Anthony Davis when you could have traded him.
I would have gave him OG.

Speaker 30 I'd have gave him Bridges. I'd have gave him Towns.
I'd have gave him Leon Rose.

Speaker 30 I'd have given him Patrick Ewen.

Speaker 30 Take them all. This is Luca Dunn should be talking about.
Spike? Take them all.

Speaker 30 Steve A.

Speaker 30 Come on.

Speaker 33 This just hit my mind right quick because I see something on TV.

Speaker 39 randomly y'all seen the baton girl who was random and she hit the girl with the baton.

Speaker 12 Yeah, yeah

Speaker 38 What y'all did she do that on purpose or was it

Speaker 20 Definitely it was a cockback

Speaker 30 I can understand

Speaker 30 How you like can swing your arm and you know while a baton is in your hand that the girl might have been too close to you you

Speaker 30 did she hit her twice She hit her twice.

Speaker 27 She

Speaker 12 twice.

Speaker 10 A two-piece.

Speaker 32 The double tap, double-tack, gave her the two-piece.

Speaker 27 All right. Go cold slow, fry and fry.

Speaker 32 He's trying. He's trying to give her a little grace.

Speaker 42 Damn. And with that being said, we're going to wrap it up, bro.
Thank y'all for joining me.

Speaker 42 Trista, come on, bro. Round of applause for my sister.

Speaker 3 Jessica, you've tried your damnedest to pull us off of the storyline of the day. I really do hate preview shows and,

Speaker 3 God, regular season basketball. But our obsession with the nonsense makes it that

Speaker 3 we like the soap opera stuff. And locally, whether it's Homerific Zaslow saying, we are the center of the basketball universe tonight.

Speaker 3 What was that voice? What was that? That's his voice.

Speaker 5 Okay.

Speaker 12 His regular voice.

Speaker 25 All right.

Speaker 5 He brought something from a little bit lower.

Speaker 8 I thought it had a loiny thing.

Speaker 3 What I felt there, what I heard come off him was...

Speaker 8 Pride.

Speaker 3 Do you remember how important we were 2010 to 2014 when I was sitting in a press room and that snake Sedano was betraying me? Because I thought it was all over. It was us against the world.

Speaker 3 And then LeBron saved the blueprint. and we're so desperate for those times around here that you get a sniff of it in the regular season.

Speaker 8 Hey, look, a game that matters.

Speaker 3 A game that matters that now Jeremy's in a lab making songs, multiple songs. Look at the smile on his face.
Pain births creativity.

Speaker 11 Can we acknowledge how brown my hair is in that picture? I mean, that's, look at that.

Speaker 8 Brown, huh?

Speaker 20 You know what? I'll give you tonight. The game's on TNT.
I'm going to watch it as a hater, and I encourage all of our fans who are so sick and fed up of what you're doing.

Speaker 21 What are you rooting for, Jessica? You want him to get a baller?

Speaker 20 Every time he gets the ball, score 50. Score three-pointer, three-pointer, three-pointer, two, three, two, three, 50 points.
This is the last day we can do it.

Speaker 7 Miss no shots. This is the end.

Speaker 20 As a hater, I'm going to tune in just to hate on all of you.

Speaker 3 Wonderful.

Speaker 3 So the best result is what? Because that's for you. What is the best result for Zaz, for Jerry? For me, for Billy.
What is the best result for Tony? Like, I want to know.

Speaker 3 I want to know because I'm not going to be allowed to care like this again this regular season.

Speaker 3 We will talk about Oklahoma City and Houston and Denver, but it won't be the same. It's over.

Speaker 8 You want to hear my honest opinion?

Speaker 3 No, but it's all over. But what we're getting tonight, so those of you What we're getting tonight is your social media gives you five years of memories tonight.
Here's the scrapbook tonight.

Speaker 3 Hey, you want to close on the relationship? Here's what you were doing the last five years. I don't know what the heat are going to sneak in there

Speaker 3 subliminally.

Speaker 22 Good job.

Speaker 9 Digestible.

Speaker 20 God damn it i think he find heat fans want uh some sort of skirmish so they can feel better about themselves and be like look this guy was he was so volatile we're we're taking the high road we're the better people malice at the palace type situation

Speaker 11 if jimmy butler and duncan robinson go at it in the little kerfuffle i think that would be pretty awesome i mean best case scenario is jimmy butler missed a shot at the end of the game he'd win just like he did in game seven against the celtics well listen i don't i don't want to revisit that.

Speaker 11 That's not a good memory.

Speaker 9 Hey, you want to win a title? Go win it with the best team you had. Make the shot.

Speaker 3 I feel like the lamest thing tonight would be a kerfuffle with Dustin Robinson.

Speaker 12 Dustin Robinson.

Speaker 8 It's okay, Dan.

Speaker 13 That's a Marlin.

Speaker 14 Dan, that's a Marlin. Dan, that's a Marlin.

Speaker 15 That's a shortstop. Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 20 Jonah Bride.

Speaker 15 Oh, Jonah Bride.

Speaker 18 Third liner on the Panthers, of course.

Speaker 41 That's the cleanup hitter for the Marlins.

Speaker 8 What?

Speaker 20 Jeremy, you don't get the game. God.

Speaker 15 Oh, wow. Jazz just walked out on the diamond.

Speaker 1 Big day.

Speaker 3 You're watching spring training baseball?

Speaker 15 I'm watching.

Speaker 12 No, no, this is batting practice for spring training baseball.

Speaker 9 He literally just walked out on the field to an empty stadium. It's not open yet.

Speaker 3 Which is the song, Jeremy?

Speaker 3 Do you want to sing about LeBron or do you want to sing about Jimmy first?

Speaker 9 You know, the LeBron stuff needs some setup. So let's just talk about the Jimmy Butler breakup for a second.

Speaker 46 Jimmy Butler's giving up on you.

Speaker 46 He'll start to pass when he's supposed to shoot.

Speaker 8 Every Every team knows what he's gonna do

Speaker 14 when Jimmy Butler's giving up on you

Speaker 14 And he

Speaker 14 will do nothing but ball

Speaker 12 and lead you for five years,

Speaker 8 play off runs and all.

Speaker 8 Songs beautiful,

Speaker 8 but money

Speaker 8 can make it all fall

Speaker 14 up

Speaker 14 at the seams,

Speaker 46 business of basketball.

Speaker 46 Jimmy Butler's giving up on you.

Speaker 46 He'll start to fast when he's supposed to shoot.

Speaker 46 And every team knows what he's gonna

Speaker 12 do.

Speaker 3 That's a breakup song. That's sad.
I don't, I don't, what is that? That's not what tonight is.

Speaker 9 Well, do you want to celebrate LeBron James?

Speaker 9 Because, Dan, I don't know if you've seen, but on TikTok right now, there's a trend where people are just making songs celebrating LeBron James, Lapuki James, as a lot of TikTok loves to call call him.

Speaker 9 Jess, have you seen this trend?

Speaker 20 I have seen it, and I don't know where it started. Me either.
But it's just a bunch of LeBron videos.

Speaker 9 Yeah, so I've just had people reaching out to me because this is all I do at the show anymore.

Speaker 19 My boys are all over this.

Speaker 9 Yeah, these LeBron songs, right? So decided that, of course, since it's my job, I had to make one of them.

Speaker 20 Wait, what do you think about it, Zaslow?

Speaker 11 I don't like it.

Speaker 19 Yeah.

Speaker 11 And I didn't know where it's coming from, where they're singing these LeBron songs.

Speaker 40 What the hell's going on here?

Speaker 19 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Thanks for the setup.

Speaker 9 All the

Speaker 9 Bronteans,

Speaker 9 he is

Speaker 9 our king.

Speaker 9 He and

Speaker 9 Lakers,

Speaker 9 Cleveland Cavaliers.

Speaker 9 Always,

Speaker 9 we know

Speaker 9 he'll put on the show

Speaker 9 Shooting and Tonking La Boogie

Speaker 9 is winning

Speaker 9 Say ain't so He cannot go Never retire, we love him so much

Speaker 19 You made that song? I did.

Speaker 44 I don't like it

Speaker 37 Thanks.

Speaker 15 Is it just the the subject of the song?

Speaker 11 Yeah, pretty much and the lyrics. I just I don't like it.

Speaker 15 Do you like Blink 182?

Speaker 11 No, and I don't like that song either. It's one of those overdone things.
They played in hockey games and the crowd all sings.

Speaker 10 Yeah. It's lame.

Speaker 15 That feels forced to me. A lot of those.
A lot of those, like, this is going to be our song. Everybody needs to learn how to sing.
Don't back down. Where did that come from all of a sudden?

Speaker 15 University of Florida loves it, please.

Speaker 12 I don't know.

Speaker 11 I didn't like that song. Thanks.

Speaker 21 Keeping it real.

Speaker 11 Whatever. Not every song's a banger.

Speaker 8 No, I know. You don't have to be excited.
Yeah, no, I'm not.

Speaker 15 What'd you think of the first song? A little long, the first one.

Speaker 11 I thought the first song was beautiful.

Speaker 20 I mean, Ryan Cortez is crying somewhere in his room.

Speaker 15 That's every day.

Speaker 3 It's been worse

Speaker 3 the last 12 games. I mean,

Speaker 3 do you know how staggering it is? I'm sorry, I'm struggling so much.

Speaker 3 Do you know how staggering it is for me to go from what I've been saying about the heat 15 years to going to calling Bam and Hero bums?

Speaker 3 The All-Stars bums because of over 16 games?

Speaker 3 That's the thing that's super weird about it.

Speaker 9 It's a crazy switch so quickly.

Speaker 3 I don't understand why Bam is now terrible.

Speaker 9 Well, he's not. He's had some bad games.

Speaker 11 He's been pretty good in that stretch.

Speaker 8 He's been really good. Pretty good.

Speaker 9 He was averaging like 25 and 12. But again, to your point, he's not good.

Speaker 3 What? No, it's the thing that's happened with winning has just made it so clear that

Speaker 3 there's something between. You guys tell me if I'm wrong, because you guys do check on, you know, the advanced stats and the differences in the lineups.

Speaker 3 But when Tyler Hero's getting the usage rate, he's the all-star. And when Bam's getting everything that he can, he's the all-star.

Speaker 3 But they can't be all-stars at the same time if they don't have another all-star who's better than they are.

Speaker 9 That's why having Andrew Wiggins score 42 points the other night was certainly helpful. They need a third option, right? Like most of them.

Speaker 3 It sounds like they need a first option.

Speaker 9 Oh, they need a first option or they need a third who's akin to each of them, right? They need a first option. That's what Wiggins is.
And they'll try to acquire first option this offseason.

Speaker 9 They're not going to be a championship team if they don't have a number one who's at least as good as Jimmy Butler, right? Offensively.

Speaker 9 And preferably, they'd have someone who works off of Bam and Tyler's skill sets better than Jimmy Butler did even offensively. You know what they should do?

Speaker 11 I'll tell you what they should do.

Speaker 43 They should win the draft lottery.

Speaker 9 Wow. Thank you.
Good idea.

Speaker 8 That's a good idea. Let's get that done too here.

Speaker 15 I would say Cooper Flag's not coming out this year because he wants to go back to Culture.

Speaker 8 Not if the Heat get that number 10 wall pick. That big pump off.

Speaker 16 You know about that culture?

Speaker 3 The biggest heat of homers there are. Billy, again with the culture, like what do we need to do around here to eradicate that? Like just to shock.

Speaker 15 He said culture. I didn't say culture.

Speaker 8 No, no, I said culture.

Speaker 3 No, I know, but you yesterday, yesterday and today. Look.

Speaker 15 I took the heat tonight, plus five and a half. Again, it's listening.

Speaker 15 I believe in this team. How you love that?

Speaker 8 I love that.

Speaker 3 You know what else Zaz loves?

Speaker 3 The strangest of the cheeses on his sub.

Speaker 12 Oh, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

Speaker 3 No, no, don't tell them. Don't tell them.

Speaker 3 Don't tell them. Guess is strange.

Speaker 10 Wait, what kind of subs?

Speaker 3 Well, what would you guys say? What's the best of the cheeses on the subs? What is the...

Speaker 7 What do you mean, anything?

Speaker 5 It depends on the flavor. Turkey.

Speaker 11 I have a favorite cheese, and if I'm having a sub, why would I not want to have my favorite cheese on whatever sub I'm getting?

Speaker 25 So, yes.

Speaker 3 What are the best of the cheeses?

Speaker 3 Don't make guesses on what it is that his cheese is. Just give me what you would say are the

Speaker 3 Hall of Fame cheeses.

Speaker 18 Fresh mozzarella when you got a nice Italian sub.

Speaker 20 There's no bad cheeses.

Speaker 8 Goodbye alone is a good sandwich. Also, good bit and correct.

Speaker 16 Are we doing this specifically

Speaker 15 for sandwiches or just in general? Like if I want to push it.

Speaker 12 Everything.

Speaker 29 Here's the thing. I love a good Colby Jack, but that's cheating because it's two cheeses together.

Speaker 21 Colby Jack's a trash cheese.

Speaker 24 What? Yeah.

Speaker 10 You're a trash cheese.

Speaker 9 He plays for the Marlins.

Speaker 3 Utility infielder.

Speaker 3 Roy, you just whispered it. I don't think anybody heard you.

Speaker 8 Munster.

Speaker 18 Oh, yeah. Oh, I love Munster cheese.

Speaker 16 That was it.

Speaker 21 Best cheese. Yeah.

Speaker 8 I like Muster.

Speaker 18 That's such a normal take.

Speaker 26 Okay, thank you.

Speaker 8 Like, when I

Speaker 18 get my chicken tender sub, I get Munster cheese.

Speaker 11 Put some Munster on that baby. I think Dan's trying to shame me here that, like, it's weird that I like Munster.

Speaker 3 I don't believe anybody. I don't.

Speaker 3 None of you guessed Munster as the best

Speaker 16 I was doing crazy cheeses.

Speaker 8 I was like,

Speaker 15 every time I go to Publix, I get some sweethead

Speaker 16 and I get some Munster cheese.

Speaker 20 Total sweetheads, as well as pump subs, because they use Boar's head, and I'm not going to lie, I'm still a little freaked out by the whole Boar's head.

Speaker 19 I get Janera Publix bread. Tony and I are like the same $4 less than that.

Speaker 41 It's like an entire factory.

Speaker 7 Yeah, that was somewhere else.

Speaker 15 Which is the cheese that they like light on fire?

Speaker 20 Saganaki.

Speaker 15 That there's like giant wheels of cheese and they go with like a blowtorch at

Speaker 15 and light it on fire.

Speaker 12 Ricklette?

Speaker 9 I don't know what I mean.

Speaker 11 And they scrape it onto your meal, right?

Speaker 10 That's richlette. Yeah, I like that.

Speaker 23 That's the French cheese.

Speaker 11 I like it better if it were Munster.

Speaker 5 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 9 Oh, imagine a wheel of Munster cheese as.

Speaker 6 Light on fire.

Speaker 18 Totally normal cheese, Dan.

Speaker 17 Thank you.

Speaker 3 The code. Incredibly normal.
No, I'm not, I wasn't saying it's normal cheese.

Speaker 8 You eat cheese, don't you, Darren?

Speaker 3 I just, well, you know me.

Speaker 8 I like the stuff with the mold on it.

Speaker 3 I have to stay away from the dairy cheese.

Speaker 8 I love blue cheese.

Speaker 3 Well, I would. In a previous incarnation, I would, but now it's not, now it's all alternate milks, alternative milks.
Blue cheese.

Speaker 7 I'm very sorry for that.

Speaker 11 Blue cheese is disgusting. You know what else is disgusting?

Speaker 19 Feta.

Speaker 2 Get the.

Speaker 20 I feta's amazing.

Speaker 8 Have you feta cheese is gorgeous? Hold on.

Speaker 18 So, John Amichi, when I went over to Greece, told me you have to go over to this little place called Eva's Garden, and they have an incredible restaurant over there in Mikonos.

Speaker 18 And when you go over there, ask for the fried cheese with the honey on top. So it's feta cheese that they fry and then they put honey on top.
Shout out to Giannamici. We went twice when we were there.

Speaker 9 Zaz, would you say you're fed up with it?

Speaker 11 Well, I don't ever have it, so no.

Speaker 9 Just wait a second.

Speaker 20 So, there's a pistachio milk brand that I see everywhere now, and it's called Tash A.

Speaker 25 It's crazy.

Speaker 20 Wow, it's Jeremy's last name.

Speaker 10 T-A-C-H-E.

Speaker 9 They just have the accent over the A instead of the E. I've seen this for years.
I accidentally, one time, because I wanted, I was like, oh, cool, it has my name on it.

Speaker 29 I'll order.

Speaker 9 And I accidentally, instead of ordering like one carton, I ordered a case. And so I just had 12 giant cartons of pistachio milk in my fridge.

Speaker 7 It's pretty good, though. It is good.

Speaker 9 And it has my name on it. So, hey, Tash Pistachio Milk.
If you're looking for a brand partnership

Speaker 8 right here, I could be like Lucy.

Speaker 3 All right, so hold on a second. Billy, Tony, please have at it there.
Like, what is he doing?

Speaker 3 He saw the portal.

Speaker 8 I saw the camera, too.

Speaker 3 It is super rare for someone to so overtly say, yes, please, I'd like to talk about myself. Kappa nauseum.

Speaker 18 It's rare. It's pistachio milk, too.
Come on.

Speaker 7 Get a great milk.

Speaker 26 It's pretty good.

Speaker 15 I heard there was some hubbub yesterday out in the office in some of the common areas about how these alternative milks that you like are bad for the environment, Dan.

Speaker 15 Is that so?

Speaker 3 It's not that I like the alternative milks. It's that they're easier on my body than dairy.
But yes, I've been told that

Speaker 3 they're not climate-friendly.

Speaker 26 No, I don't think that's true for every single thing.

Speaker 20 I think it's almonds use a lot of water, but I think like oat milk apparently is very easy to make. But I don't know.
Don't quote me on this. I'm not a food scientist.

Speaker 3 But also, our farming practices are not great for the environment either so but we're in this conundrum now with dan where it's like do you care more about your body or do you care more about the well that's that's why tony i love that out of the side of tony's mouth in the eating area yesterday i heard or how about you just get it from a cow

Speaker 7 what happened to cow's mix

Speaker 21 everybody was fine all of a sudden no i got this thing i gotta have that i'm with someone to drink nut milk everybody's got allergies gluten bullshit come on whoa yeah whatever the gluten's not bullshit i think

Speaker 20 i've said this on the show before i think people for their whole lives just feel bad after they eat and they don't really think about it or they just like have disgusting gastrointestinal problems and they're just fine with it and that's okay like you that's your choice if you're lactose intolerant you still want to have ice cream like that's your choice

Speaker 20 a lot of people

Speaker 17 my body might

Speaker 18 be well Zaz you eat a slice of pie well careful because it's Florida so you got cheese you got gluten how do you feel after a slice of pizza I feel fantastic. Incredible, right?

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 11 I'm not here asking, you know, is it gluten-free?

Speaker 9 How do you feel an hour and a half later?

Speaker 10 Me personally, I feel great.

Speaker 26 Really?

Speaker 11 But a lot of people do. Like,

Speaker 20 not everyone has the same tummy. Dan's tummy, if he had one Cheeto, he would explode.

Speaker 8 I've heard it.

Speaker 15 Also, just like here. Yeah, one Cheeto.
He did it.

Speaker 3 I had a black bean the other day, and it was explicit.

Speaker 8 No way. One

Speaker 8 black bean.

Speaker 3 One snuck into something.

Speaker 12 It doesn't sound black bean.

Speaker 3 It has a black bean. I'm not even kidding you.
I had a black bean, and it was not good.

Speaker 15 I've heard if you have pasta here versus if you have pasta in like Italy, your body reacts completely differently.

Speaker 18 Costume bread in Italy is just another level.

Speaker 3 That was a real gourmet Italian connoisseur that made an appearance.

Speaker 8 Well, he talked to John. He's right.

Speaker 18 Oh, no, no, John. That was in Mikonos.

Speaker 7 That's in Greece, different place.

Speaker 9 Man and I are totally united on this.

Speaker 12 Thank you.

Speaker 23 Now you want to talk about mulchie again?

Speaker 9 United, we stand.

Speaker 7 On business. On business.

Speaker 18 Dap.

Speaker 8 How did it it become about mulchy again?

Speaker 8 Her name got brought up all of a sudden.

Speaker 2 Best dap we've ever seen.

Speaker 20 Put the video back up. Isn't mulchy the name?

Speaker 11 How have you not seen this?

Speaker 10 It's a good dap.

Speaker 20 Oat milk brand that daps.

Speaker 1 Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.
Cuervo.

Speaker 2 What are you doing here? Cuervo.

Speaker 3 Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Speaker 4 Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like, Cuervo, I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

Speaker 3 Sweet, Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Speaker 5 Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

Speaker 4 The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo.

Speaker 1 So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.

Speaker 7 Cuervo. Cuervo.

Speaker 1 The tequila that invented tequila.

Speaker 8 Brooksimo, Cuervo.com, please drink responsibly. Cuervo.
