Now is 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.
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.
Sweet, delicious Cuervo.
Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.
The same family, the same land, the same passion.
Cuervo.
So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.
Cuervo.

The tequila that invented tequila.

Chronic migraine is 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.
Botox, onabotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they start.
It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month.
It prevents on average eight to nine headache days a month versus six to seven for placebo.
Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor.
Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.
Alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.
Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.
Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck, and injection, sight pain, fatigue, and headache.
Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness.
Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.
Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.
Why wait?

This is the Dan Labatar Show with the Stoogats Podcast.
Against the spread.
Against the spread.
Against the spread presented by DraftKings.
DraftKings, the crown is yours.
Roy, what do you got?
All right, we got Blue Jays and Pirates.
Today, Toronto has had four straight games that went under the total run line versus the National League Central.
The Blue Jays have won seven straight road games in Pittsburgh.
It's Kevin Gossman versus Paul Skeens.
Skeens.
Five straight home games without allowing an urban run.
His 213 ERA Leeds Major League Baseball.
He has a 252 fielding independent
pitching stat.
All right.
Preventing home runs, liberty walks,
not hitting batters, and causing strikeouts.
He's had 35 strikeouts this last five games and only half a home run
for nine innings.
That leads National League.
So it's Pirates.
They are underdogs.
They are underdogs by a run and a half goal with them today.
Again.
Oh, wait.
Against the
spread.
Tony, what do you got?
Tonight, guys, we've got a masterful QB matchup in preseason NFL.
We've got potentially Josh Johnson versus Desmond Ritter.
Do you guys know what teams are even playing if I mention those two quarterbacks?
NFL.
Subscribe.
Zads, you're there.
You're right there.
Commanders.
Okay.
And
Bengals.
Okay.
Are you looking at my screen?
No.
I just remember that
Josh Johnson was a commander last time.
Yeah.
And you knew Desmond Ritter was a Bengal.
And I saw a preview for Monday Night Football, which is Commander's Bengals.
Wow.
Well,
or I'm just that smart.
You're just that smart.
The Bengals, minus three and and a half.
We got tickets for that game at $11.
I'm telling you, go to game time.
Figure it out.
I'm taking the Bengals.
Desmond Ritter and Dem Boys.
What's going on with Trey Hendrickson, huh?
I'm trying to trade him now?
That makes a big deal about it.
You figure you'd come to camp, you don't get paid.
Cincinnati, goes to Jacksonville, then he comes back, doesn't participate in anything, he's still not getting paid now.
They're going to trade him, maybe.
What are you going to get for shape to get ready to play a game in a couple weeks?
I don't like it.
But I like them.
Do Hatewood Highsmiths grow on trees?
No.
We have to parse what was actually fact, what was fiction.
Haywood Highsmith was a valued part that was initially reported to.
No, no, no, no, no, we're not going to offer him for KD.
That's going too far.
No way that was true.
Then it was later clarified after
certain people that cover the Miami Heat heard back from the Heat.
And in no way is this propaganda.
They cleared it up.
I know it's good journalism, but the franchise maintained that the narrative that they didn't want to part with Haywood High Smith, that's a load of baloney.
Like, I got a lot of that over the weekend.
This was the guy that the Heat wouldn't have parted with for Kevin Durant.
Like, come on, Kevin.
You have to understand that was initially reported.
So I understand why people are of that impression.
I ran with it for a while, but then I saw Barry's report that that wasn't the case.
And, you know, why would you run with that?
You guys know why?
Because the apology is never as loud as the insult.
Because
Shyam Shrani is
got a good reputation.
But you know, he's not always 100% accurate.
That's what I've been trying to explain to people, man.
None of these guys are infallible.
Sometimes reports are wrong.
It's not that the guy is an idiot or he made up a story or whatever.
Sometimes his sources are wrong.
Well, let's not get out of that.
We have the strongest indicator yet that that was a false narrative and that Haywood High Smith was just traded for nothing.
Literally nothing.
He wasn't traded for nothing.
A heavily protected second-round pick.
That's not what they traded him for.
That's what they got for him.
That's not what they traded him for.
But they traded for Drew Smith.
Is that what you want to say?
They traded him to get under the cap so they don't have to spend more money, which is not what I want to hear from my team ownership crew.
Spend money.
I don't give a shit about your money.
Go sell a couple extra cruises, Mickey.
I don't care how much it costs you.
Put a winning product on this court already.
It's not about the money.
It's actually more about trying to put a winning product on the floor.
Because the luxury tax inhibits a team's ability to make moves.
Do shit.
Exactly.
So by going under the apron, now they're able to be active between now and the trade deadline.
Yeah, I gotta get Kevin Duran.
He's 55 years old.
I don't give a shit about their future plans.
I want to back up Billy here.
So much has made...
Heat fans love celebrating the team getting under the apron.
Wow.
They love it.
I'm not really sure how much it's benefited us in terms of their ability to make moves that help the team.
It's just something that Heat fans love to celebrate and the actual situation might just be the owner wants to save some money.
A couple more drink packets.
Do you like ice cream?
Occasionally, it depends on how many milligrams.
Let's just assume in a world where your gut cooperates, you like ice cream.
Yes.
Right?
Is it possible you got that back up?
I feel like ice cream today.
And you leave your house, but things happen and you never actually get any ice cream.
That could happen, right?
So, in that case, you didn't get any ice cream, but you gave yourself a chance to get ice cream as opposed to sitting your ass at home.
As a freedom-loving American, I love that I can get ice cream whenever I want.
Exactly.
I'd rather buy ice cream and have it melt than the idea of I can't get it.
I could get ice cream if I wanted to get ice cream.
The equivalent here, I mean, would be if you always every year have the opportunity to get ice cream, but you never actually get it.
That's a long line, but you save
ice cream costs, so we should feel good about it.
There's a long line, but ice cream.
Tariffs on ice cream.
yeah they're tariffs on the ice cream the the nba tax laws have ceased to be about money and they're all about can i do stuff now it's about roster building it's about roster building and it's like you can pay the tax but basically the way the tax rules work they're letting you know you better love this team now because if you're not in love with this team you're locked in you're locked into this and you have no hope of adjusting or very little hope versus being a team with the flexibility again yes that doesn't guarantee that you'll get something done, but it allows you at least to be a player in that regard.
But I understand the Heat fans' frustration with, again, moving on from a player a couple of days ago and Haywood Highsmith, who was
a starting caliber player for you.
And it's to make sure you have the flexibility.
And the counter to that from Heat fans would be, that seems to be their MO every year is we want flexibility.
All right, well,
when are we going to push the chips in the middle middle of the table with that flexibility?
I'm going to give you a great example of the last time they didn't opt for the flexibility.
Can I interest you in Hassan Whiteside for $90 million?
Can I interest you in Deion Waiters and James Johnson?
That was the last time they were like, but these guys are good for us and, oh, we got to pay them.
Well, forget about flexibility.
Forget about trying to be flexible.
That's what happened.
The idea is that, look, I like Hayward Highsmith.
You're right.
Good starting caliber player.
The reality is, Mike started the segment with what question?
Do Haywood Highsmiths grow on trees?
For many franchises, no.
For the Miami Heat, absolutely they do.
Here's where I get a little bit bothered.
That's on the organization.
Don't trust us with the flexibility because we're just going to do the Deion Waiters, Hassan Whiteside thing.
Like, that's a cautionary tale.
But by the way, you can't be trusted with this flexibility.
Trusted with it.
The idea is that this is a good player, but eminently replaceable.
Super.
So I can continue this game of go get the next Haywood Highsmith and get him cheap and keep this flexibility for the opportunity to go out and build.
Again, I don't think, maybe I'm not portraying my thoughts here properly.
I'm not upset with them moving on from Haywood Highsmith because, like you said, stop giving the multi-year deals to guys who you could find more.
I get that.
The problem is, it's like, okay, all I hear every year is flexibility.
Flexibility, flexibility.
When are we going to do something?
But that's my point.
You're behaving as though they are not trying.
Oh, no, no, I get that.
But the reality is, it's not unilateral.
I don't just get to dictate, hey, man, you won't play for us now.
Right.
There's other teams involved.
There are other people, agents and players.
And you do what you can.
Tough shit.
Figure it out.
That's what they're saying.
No, figure it out.
Figure it out.
Oh, we got Hayward Highsmith.
Look, we developed him.
Great.
Now he's gone.
Oh, Duncan Robinson.
We developed him.
Now he's gone.
Oh, Max Trues, we developed him.
Now he's gone.
The counter to that would be: Boston seems to make big moves every year.
Milwaukee seems to make big moves every year.
How is that working out for them?
Hey, they won their night.
They're trying.
They're trying.
And it got undone by, you know, what was going on in Damian Lillard's personal life and injury.
But they were going for it.
And you're sitting back and watching a team like Indiana make the finals when they went for it with Pascal Siakam.
Like, I get the Whales.
Let's try to improve on a roster that made it to an NBA Finals twice in three years.
I understand that the theory.
Indiana's is a better example than
Knicks, too.
They made an aggressive move.
But like to me, Cleveland.
But some of these moves are silly aggressive.
They're moves just to say that we did a move.
Yes, but I.
And Mikhail Bridges for 7 million first-round picks.
That's not good.
That's not good.
Scare money don't make money.
Listen.
I would rather that Heat win a championship and the result is Mickey Harrison goes bankrupt than Mickey Harrison keeps money and we keep not winning a championship.
Precisely.
Zagak, I understand we established that there was this false narrative around Haywood High Smith
going too far
to include into the Kevin Durant deal.
But for whatever reason, and I do think that Heat fans do deserve this reputation nationally, is because there's a lot of people that get excited about Haywood High Smith, right?
Even though he's the same age as Bam on a Bayonet, we kind of know what he is.
But do you agree with Raymond Green when he took the threads and said, y'all,
and then parenthetically, internet experts, wanted Jimmy to come off the bench behind dude, and five months later, the Heat traded him for a bag of chips.
Shut up, that's wild.
Shut up.
I don't think it was.
I don't think we went that far.
Who wanted that?
I don't know.
But this goes back to what we were talking about earlier, where it's like with the Deran Gabriel thing, about what are you talking about?
This feels like something coming from Jimmy, though, right?
He was teammates with Jimmy.
But I'm just like, it's like he.
Draymond is not following this drama this closely.
It's like Draymond doesn't add the part with, yeah, we wanted him to come off the bench because, you know, he wasn't trying anymore.
But that part, no, no, no, it's just Haywood Heisman's better.
That's why.
They thought Hayward Highsmith was a better player.
So that's why they were starting over Jimmy.
Not because Jimmy was sabotaging the team.
Shut up.
Shut up.
What are they waiting to do?
Because like Norman Powell was the move, which isn't a nothing move.
Like, that's a good move.
But, like, what are we loading up?
What's the next move?
What are they saving money for?
Did you see the detail with Norman Powell?
He negotiated with Haywood Highsmith for his jersey number.
Yeah, that's hard times.
How much do you give him?
I don't know what he got him, but he gave him something.
He wants back whatever he gave him.
No refunds.
No refunds on that deal.
Yeah, that's no refunds.
Hey, it's Mike Ryan.
Those sprinklers are starting to slowly come up on the football field.
Time that we have with summer is dwindling.
I'm sure you're already doing that thing where you're going through your photo album, flipping through the photos that you've taken this summer, already reminiscing about the good times that you have.
I know I did.
And in many of the pictures that I went back to reminisce over, I had a beautiful white cantoner light in my hand because I love making good times during the summer.
A Miller time.
And it's a good reminder.
We're losing time on this summer.
So why don't you share the moments that you have with a white can of Miller Light like I have, whether it's a long weekend or a full-on vacation.
It is the perfect time to get the crew back together and since 1975, Miller Light has been the go-to way to stock the cooler and celebrate those moments.
This year marks 50 years of Miller time.
50 years of great taste, great friends, and unforgettable memories.
Brewed for flavor with simple ingredients like malted barley, it delivers rich, balanced toffee note flavor and that golden color that just hits different.
Miller Light, great taste, 96 calories.
Go to millerlight.com/slash stand to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Miller Light pretty much anywhere they sell beer.
Cheers to 50 years of Miller time.
Celebrate responsibly.

Hey, it's Jeremy here.
I don't know if you've noticed this about me, but I'm not quite someone who loves confrontation or fighting.
I don't really want to end up in a situation where I need to do so.
For me, simply safe becomes the way I want to protect my home.
Because not not only is there like the personal peace of mind of knowing that my security is preventative, it's not just an alarm after an event, I want to make sure that my wife is okay, that my cats are okay, that everything I have in my home is okay, and knowing that I have to deal with like the stress or the violation of someone potentially breaking into my home and reacting to it versus having the control and safety of proactive prevention is huge for me.
Most security systems only react after a break-in.
Simply Safe helps stop it before that happens.

All these high-paid analysts, I don't want to mention names, TNT,
ESPN, you know, oh, yeah,
they are dead.
They cannot,
they are not going to make it, you know.
Even if they win in,
if they lose in Miami,
if they lose in Miami, they don't got a chance in Boston.
Oh, they are going to have their ass, you know what, in Boston, you know.
Stugats.
They were wrong.
They were, are they going to lose their job?
No.
Are they going to get a cutting paint?
No.
What are they going to do?
Keep predicting what is the obvious.
They're going to say, oh, the Nogates are going to win.
Oh, Denver, the altitude.
And you know what?
The Heat are going to win at all.
This is the Don Lebatar show with his two gods.
Speaking of narratives that were out there, there's a narrative, Mike, that I'm looking at you right now, and I'm not happy with you at all.
A narrative that Boardwalk Empire sucks after season two.
I'm watching it.
It's a bad take.
I'm into season three now, man.
It's a horrible take.
I did some digging on this because there were some people that felt as strongly as you did.
I tried to keep going with it.
I didn't.
I liked the character in question too much.
I could not go on.
I thought it was a mistake.
And then apparently the actor that I'm referring to here, if you didn't watch it.
I looked up some of the stuff with him too, since you told me this last week.
It seems as though the producers of Boardwalk Empire had their reasons to kill off this character so they didn't have to deal with the actor.
And much like Haywood Highsmith, the actor's been around and available to do other stuff.
And it doesn't seem like other people were in on this actor.
Yeah, like you're all right.
Not, not, I gotta stop my life to keep you on this show.
And by the way, you dipped out.
You were you around for Jip Rossetti?
He wasn't, which is great.
That's not watching right now.
He got a gun.
He got a gun.
Everybody got a gun.
Oh, man.
What?
Amazing.
We go as he stopped at the diner, and it says, he looks at the menu, spaghetti with red sauce.
What's that?
Oh, Boardwalk empire great show i don't understand like you you stopped watching in during the season when seemingly every episode gretchen maul is naked why would you stop watching that i didn't dislike point for that i wasn't like this girl's too naked mr
that wasn't what a comeback by the way from gretchen maul she goes from uh she's on rounders with with the the most the most dislikable character you've ever seen on movies yeah and and all of a sudden i love every episode she's in in this boardwalk empire hated her in in rounders horrible character I've got some bad takes, I'm capable of them.
I don't like the wire.
What?
I tried to give 61 of the wire a chance.
I saw the whole thing, and everyone says, like, you know, it's a slow build.
I didn't like that.
That type of technology was antiquated back when it was made.
That was the point.
That was how they got around
wiretaps.
I couldn't do it.
The whole point is that they were using it
and outdated technology.
I'm so hyped.
I just couldn't.
At a certain point, I'm like, I'm just going to live my life understanding that I gave this a shot and it's not for me.
Not unlike Bob Dylan, not unlike Bruce Springsteen I tried it's just not for me but I understand why people like it just not for me I'm not making you feel bad if you like it I really
great television man and Boardwalk Empire is the same way I just like this one character too much my name was on the street my name's my name
corners on the other side of the the coin like history has decided um that true detective season two is bad and i like true detective i like true detective season two i like season two i do i think season two struggles from the same thing godfather three struggles from I went back and after I was on a couple weeks ago, I watched Godfather 3 again.
It's a good movie.
That movie sucks.
No, nope.
It's a good movie.
Its biggest sin is it's not the Godfather 1 or 2.
You think if you watch that as a standalone movie, like it's a good movie?
Yes.
Yes.
I watched it as a standalone movie.
I was like, this is a good movie.
What's her name?
Sophia Cobla.
Terrible actress.
I like her.
It was bad.
You know what I'm doing a rewatch of?
What's that?
The director's cut of Miami Vice.
With Jamie Foxx?
Yeah, Jamie Fox and Colin Farrell.
The lure, there's that word again.
Behind this movie was.
In the original adaptation of the, well, not the original adaptation, the Michael Mann version, Jamie Foxx is not, Ricardo Tubbs is not in it as much as you would think.
And it's because there was an article written on this.
Jamie Foxx legit left the production for a little bit because of how crazy Michael Mann's style was.
It was a very dangerous.
They had a very scary situation on one of the locations because Michael Mann's very authentic
wants to get in there.
Director's Cut, I'm enjoying, has one of the worst sex scenes I've ever seen, but it was like realistic, not Hollywood.
I mean, the specialists.
Do they still go to Cuba for some mojitos?
Yeah, I know where we can get a good mojito.
Yeah, dude, Colin's fighting for his life with whatever accent that is.
I'm at the scene now where they're trying to prove that they're not cops to the drug dealer that's looking for a drug runner.
But they're pointing the finger back.
How do we know you're not a cop?
Are you wearing a wire?
They pull guns on him, and and then Crockett just takes out a hand grenade in his hand.
Like, wow, what a move.
Mutually assured destruction.
He just casually leaves his home with a hand grenade at all times.
Why didn't that come up in the frisk?
Speaking of Miami Vice, I learned yesterday that Golden Girls was a, was a joke about Miami Vice.
At the upfronts, NBC was coming out and they had two comedians dressed as old ladies talking about, I thought the show was called Miami Nice.
Wouldn't that be nicer or whatever?
And in the crowd was Brandon Tartakov, who's the head of NBC, and he was like, yo, that actually would be a really good idea.
Why don't we have a Miami Nice show with old ladies as opposed to like drug dealers and stuff?
And that's how Golden Girl started.
You mentioned that, and I saw that one of Jon Samos's requests to play Riot Fest is to have a nude portrait of B.
Arthur, which is a callback, I think, to airheads when they got
one of the list of demands.
Yeah, Jon Samos put out his full list of demands for him to play Riot Fest, and some of the requests are wild.
That's just to see if they're reading it.
Yeah, he's going to show up, but he's requested for a full body pillow of Jon Samos, which make that available for public consumption, depending on the whole tariff situation.
Buku Bucks.
A body pillow?
Like the pregnancy pillow?
Full body pillow of John Samos.
Also, the founder of Riot Fest has to get a John Samos tattoo.
That's one of the writers?
John Samos reserves a right to call it Riot Fart whenever he wants.
This isn't real.
Okay, this is.
This is real.
No.
Real or fake demands.
Let's play that game.
Real or fake demands.
No, where is this?
Where did you see this?
I think this is Riot Fest Chicago.
Riot Fest themselves, I think, put this out with John Samos on a collab.
I'm going to find it.
I'm like a dog with a bone on this one.
All right.
We were having a
big debate out.
Well, not a debate, actually.
We had a witch hunt out in the common area over here because
it became apparent that Gino Fuentes
has unacceptable socks
How so
well they need to they need to choose a side is what they need to do this is this is where socks have gotten to Roy mm-hmm
You can wear like the no-show or the ankle ones that are just below the arc of your shoe so kind of like the socks that Chris has on which I think is what was popular when we were yes like we grew up with like the night, the tight socks around the ankle where you don't really see them.
You can kind of see them.
They're no-show ankle socks is what they are.
I mean there's one that's even lower than that that looks weird.
I hate those.
I hate those two.
But like that was the acceptable one like 10 years ago or whatever.
They're acceptable now.
They're not the normal.
They're not in, trust me.
I know from all the Tony's, the Taylor world
kids these days.
You're fine.
You're fine.
Okay, thank you.
Crew socks, fine as well.
But it depends on the pants that you're wearing right uh like i'm wearing jeans so my socks are longer as opposed to are there any rules when you're wearing jeans no no i i think you can't wear low socks when you're wearing jeans for sure but like you can wear the crew socks like you're wearing roy even with shorts on right what you cannot do is this halfway crook shit that gino fuente we got to see it let's go video we need a shot of it we need a shot of gino well jason has them on too They're both they're both sock violators.
Look at this.
Show us some socks.
You see how that is?
It's not an ankle sock.
It's not a crew sock.
It's not even a quarter.
It's not a quarter.
I don't know what it is.
One eighth?
It's one eighth.
What is that?
I don't like it.
I don't like it either.
And
I found out, like, it wasn't just, it wasn't Gino.
Like I said, Jason, you can switch that camera.
It's a video room problem.
It's a video room problem.
Probably Lewis, probably the same thing.
If we're in high tops, this wouldn't be a situation.
Jason, we don't want to see your shoe, buddy.
There you go.
Now you got to get it.
There you go.
Yeah, that's it.
Work hard.
Work smart.
Not hard.
So both unbranded, small, not long, but not shit.
And Lewis has the same thing.
We don't have to look.
Yeah.
But also, I'm going to put Jason double trouble here.
The color also.
Yeah, the white.
Oh, yeah.
It's like a gray.
It's like a white.
It's off white.
Or is that the color?
That's faded white.
That's great.
That's the color, man.
Those are jean socks.
Those are jean socks.
Those are not socks.
Doing a wash with dark pants or something.
I have the full list of demands from Jon Stamos.
I have confirmed this has been a collab from Riot Fest and Jon Stamos on official media channels.
Riot Mike, the founder of Riot Fest, must get a John Stamos tattoo.
A John Samos look-alike contest must be hosted by Riotfest.
A local Chicago pizza restaurant must create a Greek-style pizza named and in honor of John Stamos.
John Samos' green room must be stocked with these following items.
A body pillow of John Stamos, a nude painting of B.
Arthur, unlimited hummus served in a Gibson guitar case.
The Riot Fest Twitter person must give John Stamos a foot rub.
A special Jon Samos Riot Fest t-shirt must be designed and approved by John Stamos.
No one is allowed to make eye contact with Jon Samos' hair.
Whenever Jon Samos says Riot Fest, he is allowed to say Riot Fart.
Jon Samos' mask must be printed out for the crowd to wear.
Over the next few weeks and lead up to the festival, we at Riot Fest will make every effort to compete to complete this list of demands from Mr.
John Stamos so he can be in attendance.
I hate when people try to be cute, man.
You don't like Riot Fart?
Stop being cute.
He's going to be there.
Just, yes, yeah, you're going to be there.
Oh, wouldn't we be funny guys if we put this?
Dorks.
I think this all comes.
The Beach Boys are playing, and he's the occasional drum player for the Beach Boys.
Yes, real life.
You haven't known that about him?
No.
He'll play.
Didn't they do like a Marlins Super Saturday concert where Jon Samos was a drummer for the Beach Boys?
I think he might have just showed up, yeah, and he performed with the Beach Boys.
He liked Moonlights as a Beach Boy member.
So I think the Beach Boys played a Riot Fest quite a few number of years ago, and John Samos wasn't drumming.
And since then, the people that follow and
patronize Riot Fest, they've been demanding to see the Beach Boys with Jon Stamos.
Timeout.
So
these listed demands are for him to show up to be with the Beach Boys?
That's right.
I'm sorry.
You don't get to make those demands.
He's making it all about himself.
You're not.
This is the Beach Boys, man.
Oh, he's been with the Beach Boys.
Are you confused?
No, I'm not confused.
They're welcoming.
They've welcomed him many a time.
But you don't get to, you know, this is some star behavior shit, man.
Isn't this the crowd, fans, that are clamoring for this?
This isn't Stamos demanding I'm going to be with them.
This is.
No, this is Samos making illicit demands.
Illicit demands.
Because he's wanted.
Wait, hold on.
Is like Kevin Love's uncle, is he making those demands?
No, he's not.
Yeah.
Well, other guy's gone.
How many beach wars are there still?
Great question.
I don't know if Kevin Love's Uncle's alive.
They just lost one like a couple weeks ago.
Is that Kevin Love's Uncle?
They're just keeping the
money going at this point.
Sell some merch.
Have Samos there.
Now Samos is probably like
the guy.
He's the lead.
He's the
attraction?
No, there was that other guy, the guy that wore
those Peaky Blinders hats.
I love Al
I believe there's two left.
Yeah, right now there, Wikipedia says there's two members, Mike Love and Bruce Johnson.
There you go.
That's Kevin Love's uncle.
Al Jardine's gone.
Okay.
So Brian Wilson was the latest.
Brian Wilson was on the password.
It's a big deal.
So now you're getting to the point where the Beach Boys kind of need John Samos.
So this thing does.
Is this turning like the Temptations?
Was Where's just a bunch of dudes that just show up and none of them were actually in the Temptations?
Oh, the OJs.
Yeah, the OJs.
Yeah, like you just have a bunch of people like, yeah, we're the OJs.
Like, no, you're not.
You're just some dude that's flexible.
But this partnership among the Beach Boys and Samos is 30 years old.
I get it.
Remember, they partnered up on forever.
Sure.
Does he get to dictate this way?
Let me move this way.
Samos is making the defendants.
If Mike Love ain't getting that, you don't get it.
How about that?
If Mike Love don't get it, you don't get it.
You gotta check with Mike Love.
Hey, Mike, we're getting the hummus?
My nah, I'm good on hummus.
Guess what?
No hummus for Stamen.
Statham, Stamos.
Stamen.
Stamos.
Hummus.
Right?
That's the way it should work.
It's an honor for them to allow you to be part of this.
You can't walk.
Like, what's my name?
From Foo Fighters.
Dave Grohl.
Dave Grohl.
Can't just waltz in.
Doesn't he play for Bruce Springsteen?
I'm getting confused.
It's Max Weinberg.
That's the guy from the Sopranos.
Oh, yeah.
The guy from the Sopranos.
You don't get to just walk in and demand.
Stevie Van Zandt.
Steve Van Zandt.
There you go.
That's the guy from The Sopranos.
Sid Rosenberg show.
First for me.
The guy from the Sid Rosenberg show.
You see what I'm saying?
Like, you don't get to do that.
You don't, you don't get, you, this isn't your thing.
I don't care how famous you are.
You are joining something that is already famous.
It's already doing its famous thing.
And we happy to have you here.
It'll be cool.
This is probably your life dream.
Oh, who wants to think about?
White guy.
White guy.
John Mayer.
John Mayer.
That's a Grateful Dead, bro.
Hey, John Mayer.
You want to do that?
You do a John Mayer show.
You do a John Mayer concert.
And then you can ask for that stuff.
You want Stamos, you want to do that?
You do a John Samos concert.
John Mayer has more.
He's like lead singing for them, right?
Absolutely.
That's more leverage.
More leverage.
But guess what?
Respects it.
He respects the playground.
And he said, look, this isn't about me, guys.
It's not about me.
John Stamos, shame on you.
Shame on you.
And I know you're doing it just to be cute.
Like, oh,
It's working.
Riot Fart is funny.
And I liked Arrowheads.
It's a good call.
Great.
Great film.

Stugats.
We're gonna win.
What an old reference.
This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.
Who's B.
Arthur?
B.
Arthur.
Oh, wow.
Old lady.
You know who she is.
Bard.
Yeah.
Let me look it up.
You have a computer.
Yeah, but I mean.
It's conversation.
It's not conversation if he doesn't.
I want to look something up, and it shouldn't be the right thing to look up to.
I'm going to figure out who you got here.
B.
Arthur.
B-E-A is how you spell B.
B.
Arthur.
Beatrice.
Short for Beatrice.
You know her.
From Golden Girls.
Yeah.
The main one.
Dorothy from Golden Girls.
The main one.
Is that the tall one?
The tall one.
I was thinking the glasses, the little zigzags.
I've never seen the show, so I didn't have a reference point of who this was.
I still get it.
I've been re-watching Golden Girls recently.
Yeah.
Surprisingly holds up.
Really?
Yeah.
That's hard to believe.
Surprisingly holds up.
So what's the elevator pitch here?
Two old ladies at four old ladies.
They're
living together in Miami.
They're retired.
That's it.
And hijinks.
Okay.
Hijinks.
There she is, Tony.
Shenanigans.
Yeah, one of them dates a lot.
Blanche.
Well, not just dates.
Blanche is the Kim Cattrall of
Samantha.
And Sex in the City.
Wait, everyone knows who you mean.
Yep.
Yeah.
Blanche is the.
So this is like old lady Sex in the City?
Yes.
Okay.
Old Lady Sex in the City, but the city is Miami.
Hmm.
And they were the first to do it.
But it's like a swamp, really.
Like, when they show their house, it's not like, wow, this is South Beach.
So it's like pre-Miami Springs.
They're like Boca?
Right, or where are they?
No, it's Miami Spring.
They say Miami proper.
They just say Miami proper.
It's like Miami, Miami Shores or something.
Yeah.
But yeah, you don't see no ocean.
So it's before Hispanics and before everything else.
I think it's before
Hispanics were around.
Yeah, they were around.
I think it's any of the ladies Hispanic?
No.
Okay, that's my question.
The two of them were Italian.
Yes.
So B.
Arthur's Catherine Dorothy and her mom, Sophia, they're Italian.
Rose, which is played by Betty White, she was from Minnesota.
Blanche was from Texas or Tennessee.
Louisiana?
She's from somewhere in the south.
Trivia Night.
Somewhere in the South.
Louisiana, I think you're right.
Blanche Devereaux, yeah.
Because her last name is Devereux.
She's Creole, yeah.
So I haven't watched the show, that's why.
No Cubans.
Did they have any Cubans?
Maybe one of some of the men that came around.
Very progressive show.
Yeah, it was.
That was me watching Miami Vice Remake.
Still no Cubans?
Wait, there are no Cubans in the crew.
None of the crew.
Like Justin Thoreau's in the crew.
Damn.
Everyone in.
See, this is systemic erasure three americas erasure erasure uh you can't put a chinese lady in it the only time they they actually go to cuba for mojito but there's no cubans there
this is the only time i can get to see cubans they go to cuba and there are no cubans there no that's the only time you get to see cubans you'd think that with all the time that passed since the 80s They'd be like, Michael, there are a lot of Cubans here.
The most Cuban we get is that his name is Ricardo.
Crazy.
The surname doesn't match it, but his name is Ricardo.
There's a guy called El Tigron.
That guy's got to be Cuban.
I think he's Colombian.
Really?
El Tigron?
No.
Worst sex scene, but very realistic.
Again,
specialist.
It's just Jamie Foxx just digging his chin into his shoulder blade.
And that's the entire.
The camera doesn't move.
I'm like, this is the most realistic one.
I saw Jamie Foxx is going to be playing Tyson.
I don't even know if this is real or not.
They've been trying to get that thing done forever.
It's been 25 years.
Or maybe just the right age.
I watched Spider-Man No Way Home last night.
Oh, yeah.
I love that Spider-Man.
Oh, that's great.
People popped in the movie theater when
all the Spider-Men from all the universes came.
Yeah, and all the villains from all the universes.
And they kept making the joke that Electro was made by falling into a bat of Electric Eels.
But do you think Jamie Foxx negotiated for me to return to this franchise, we got to make me handsome?
Oh, yeah, no, because he was...
Everybody else looks the same as they did, but Jamie Foxx is like, oh, the electricity here is stronger, so I look better.
He's back to like painting on his hair.
He doesn't have to comb over.
He's not blue.
No, no, yeah.
Like, they fixed him up.
He didn't look like he did in Amazing.
Was it Amazing Spider-Man?
He was a very lazy exposition.
He's like, oh, I like the power here.
It's a little bit better.
He has a glow up.
He just didn't want to look ugly.
He has a literal glow up.
Because he's glowing.
See how that works?
You want to talk about a weird sex scene?
You guys see Michael Beasley and Lance Stevenson?
Big three?
B-roll close.
I don't watch Big Three.
That was.
I just saw the clip of them celebrating, and it was intense.
It was passionate.
It was passionate.
I think we can throw it up on the screen right here.
It's just going to be B-roll, though, because there's a lot of cursed words.
No, it's all right.
But it's like
his face is pressed against his face.
He's hyping him up.
And then they get face-to-face here.
He's hyping him up, and Beasley's kind of kind of holding it in.
Now, his forehead to forehead, and now he's he's roaring and he's like yeah and they're all excited and they're forehead to forehead again and they're rubbing foreheads which is a weird feeling and then they walk around and was this after game winner or something or I don't know is this to reach
is this to reach the championship or is this winning the championship I'm gonna look this up it's important details it's not important the detail is at the end of the day even if it is to reach the championship it's the big three championship yeah we like the big three too much
I'm not gonna to knock it.
You like hoops?
I'm just saying.
The guy's afraid of pissing off Ice Cube.
Oh, no.
I was on the bottom.
You're not going to read War of the Worlds 7, whatever it's called.
Have you guys seen War of the Worlds?
No.
Villies.
I also haven't seen the Big Three.
Billy's right up there.
Actually, Sack Quartz had at a Big Three game one time.
Yeah, it was awesome.
See, and this is.
They came over, they were promoting.
They're like, anyone want to go to the game?
I'm like, yeah, sure, I'll go to the game.
So now you trash them a couple years later?
No, I'm just saying.
I mean, it was fine.
We left early.
We weren't going to be there all day.
It's like eight basketball games in a row.
Yeah, but they're quite good.
And it's half court.
Honestly,
I thank you for bringing us and having us out and sitting on the court and all that stuff.
But like, it was third row, so it sucks because you can't see anything.
When like third row on the floor, you can't see anything because the first two rows ahead of you.
I'd rather sit like, you know, fourth row, kind of in the 100 levels, you know?
Yeah.
You said you sat court side.
Yeah, court side or on court.
What do you mean?
Third row and court side are not the same thing, my friend.
What's court side court side
I was on wood there's three rows of wood you got it court side means when I
I quote I could trip a referee exactly I quote Sean Carter
I'd be spiked out I could trip a referee that means if your legs are too far out like like Larry David you might trip one of the combatants.
Their floor is weird.
At least it was then.
There's a lot of wood real estate.
It's very red too.
It's very red court.
This is like first or second year of big three.
Like it was new at the time.
Pre-pandemic.
Are the courts smaller in Big Three?
Yeah, it's half court.
Oh, so that's why there's so much wood.
Yeah, yeah.
That's why there's also so many rows of seats on the wood.
This was just to get to the championship game.
That reaction.
Was it a game winner?
Yeah, that's it.
I mean, that's cool.
You can do that on the playground.
The championship
is this Sunday coming up.
If you hit a game winner, you can have that kind of behavior.
It doesn't matter what the stakes are.
I think that's a little much.
No, LA Fitness Championship.
I've never been forehead to forehead with anyone.
You've never been this close as Michael Beasley and Lane Stevenson?
They were NBA players that played in actual conference championship games.
This is, I don't understand.
The book on Michael Beasley was that he didn't care enough, and then he displays it and we chastise him for it.
You don't understand why not
thinking that the big three championship game is equivalent to like NBA playoffs.
No, I get it.
I don't watch this shit, but
I get why he's half.
What are we doing?
Why are we being dismissed?
I realized why Billy was sitting on the wood is because on the half court, he was sitting on the other half of the court.
No, I was actually like in a corner.
So like it was the, there's the court here.
No one cares about this.
There's a court here and then there's the one side, the other side, and then the back side.
And then I was like in the corner on one of the sides.
It was hard to see.
I only got so much love for ball.
I'll watch NBA playoffs and women's college basketball and occasionally men's college basketball.
Unless my coach quits in the middle of the year and the team follows suit, then I give up.
Well, they got in trouble or someone got in trouble that worked for them because it was like their social media person that runs their Twitter account and she was tweeting about Caitlin Clark in the WNBA during the big three game and they ended up firing her.
That was because they're like,
we view them as competition.
You need to not be tweeting about our competition during our broadcast.
Rachel Demeter.
It was Rachel Demeter, yeah.
It seems this was a game winner, but only because every game is up to 50.
Yeah.
So like it's not, yeah.
They're all game winners.
Bring it with me though.
If you if you hit a game winner, it doesn't matter what level.
It feels good.
Yeah, I like that.
One by three.
I think my thing is this.
You can celebrate whatever level.
I celebrate.
Oh, yeah, that.
Like
the intimate gazing into my eyes,
forehead to forehead.
Not how I would get down on the basketball court, but I'm certainly celebrating a game winner.
Or I'll do that thing where I don't even celebrate because it was supposed to happen.
It's supposed to happen.
But I'll make a big show about how I'm not celebrating.
You do.
That's the Damian Lillard.
Like that guy.
Or I'll just tumble off the court like, yep.
That's the Damian Lillard.
When he hit the shot, it gets so close to him.
Bye-bye.
But, like, everyone mobbed him, and then he looks into the camera, and it's just, how ice cold is this guy?
He doesn't.
They were up by one, 48 to 47, and he hit like a little floater layup to win it, 50 to 47.
Usually it's like a
they beat the Dallas Power.
Who's in the Dallas?
That's another thing, though.
Like, here's the player.
Audience can't see it.
Yeah, they can't see your computer.
The first couple seasons, you had like the three-headed monsters and the aliens and the killer threes, and
now it's cities, but they don't actually represent the city.
It's just like a traveling show.
They're a traveling road show.
Yeah, so what difference does it make if you assign a city name to people that like Lance Stevenson has zero connection to Miami?
Ooh, no, he's got plenty of connection to him.
He lives in Miami.
He lives in Miami.
No one thinks of Lance Stevenson as someone from Miami.
News means that he's a majority.
He's not hating.
He's from Miami.
He hate people.
He's representing Miami, and he was viewed in his NBA career as a villain to Miami.
Dallas Power have Greg Monroe, Paul Milsap, Glenn Rice Jr., and John Milsap.
Old team.
John Milsap?
I think that Nancy Lieberman is their coach.
Based off of that,
is there an Indiana team in the big three?
We don't know.
League standings.
There's the Boston Ballhogs, Chicago Triplets, Dallas Power, Detroit Amps, DMV Trilogy, Houston Righands, L.A.
Wright, and Miami 305.
Well, if he's associated, I think he did
play in LA for a little bit, but he did.
But out of all these cities.
Paul DP's their coach.
Out of all those cities, he's mostly associated with Miami because of his rivalry with the Heat.
And he lives here.
And he lives here.
Sorry,
everybody lives here.
That's a big three.
No, he's doing papers checks and stuff.
You ain't really Miami.
Now is 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.
Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like, Cuervo.
I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.
Sweet, delicious Cuervo.
Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.
the same family, the same land, the same passion.
Cuervo.
So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.
Cuervo.
Cuervo.
The tequila that invented tequila.
