The Alley Oop: Cathy Gets BOOED?! Aces Dynasty Talk + Devin Carter’s HAIR + NBA Preseason Gamblers

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.

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.

I'm still joined by my illustrious co-host, Trista Crick.

How are you doing today?

The Aces have done it.

Dynasty, you can't deny it.

The Dynasty, El Dynasto.

Like, talk about what the Aces, this Aces team winning three championships in four years, cashing in my sister's bet.

Who, Asia Wilson?

I already took the money out.

I already took the money out.

Sorry, DraftKings, you're not getting a cent

re-put into your bank, into your betting account, because I know that I will use it and I will lose it, and that's just what they want me to do.

So, no, I already deposited that back in, that baby.

And I think what's fascinating to me is how,

like, they really were done.

You know what I mean?

Like, they really were not the same team.

They move on from Kelsey Plum.

They bring in Jewel Lloyd.

And I actually, to start the year, thought that could be an upgrade just based on like what we know Jewel Lloyd has done in Seattle.

And then it felt like Jewel maybe just needed to get her swagger back or maybe her age was starting to like catch up to her.

She chooses asks to come off the bench and then like things sort of change.

But Asia was primarily the only one that was doing anything offensively other than Jackie Young.

It was just those two and outside of that it was just very anemic.

But that they trade for Nelissa Smith, which I think made a lot of help for Asia.

And then getting slapped into the mouth by the Lynx, I think really woke them up.

But I don't want to act like we were all wrong to be concerned about a team that was seventh

and just teetering on the edge of missing the playoffs altogether.

What we've seen is probably Juju one of the greatest turnarounds in basketball history.

And like a dynasty, a team that's won multiple championships, they can always do that.

That's what the Warriors did, right?

Like they were done.

They made some tweaks.

They get Jordan Poole, which I guess is like...

Different than Jewel Lloyd, but kind of, you know what I mean?

Like another bucket-getter.

And then the chips go right for them, and they win again.

But I'm not necessarily going to say, like, because the Aces, I don't know if you saw this, they took a bunch of good follow clips from Roz

and a bunch of other podcasts that called them done to keep ticket.

Yeah, they keep their receipts.

And I'm sorry, the Aces, your time is over.

You're a team that can beat the bad teams, but can't beat the good teams.

Maybe you're just not a good team.

What are the aces right now?

I think what you just said, not good

team.

Raws, is the Aces dynasty over?

Honestly, probably yes.

Young stops, push, hits, puts the foul, Jackie Young takeover.

But Gray underneath gets it to go in a bow.

Gray, what a dish.

Ten assists now for Gray.

I see them being at the middle of the pack at best.

The Las Vegas Aces may end up in a situation where they may have to consider trading AJ Wilson.

Wilson, defeat!

You bet!

You bet!

Wilson feeding that team!

But they were.

They were done.

They were done.

Bruh, they need to take some clips from the LAU.

I believe in them the whole time.

They asked me mid-season.

I was like, bro, they gonna get it together.

That's Miss Rebecca.

I know she lost this record.

Matter of fact, never mind.

They don't have the records, Miss Rebecca.

I love you.

I'm right here.

Mama Scott.

Yes, I can vouch for you.

Why didn't you send our clips to the Aces?

Via snail.

I don't think she knew that they even said that.

And like, if you're going to do it, I said that y'all were done on the letter shoot and probably also on the alley oop.

But like, you were.

If that

53-point win doesn't happen from the Lynx and you don't have Asia Wilson talking smack to the team being like, yo, if you're not ready to come and compete, then you need to leave.

Like Becky Hammond looked like she was about to have a coronary all season long.

Like, it's just, I just think it's like wrong to be like, see,

see,

we had it this whole time.

Y'all just didn't recognize.

But they're tremendous.

Jackie Young and Asia Wilson as a duo need to stick together forever.

Yeah, when you win the championship, though, you can celebrate how you want to celebrate.

You want to make a video, make a video.

Speaking of videos, Kathy, Miss Kathy, got up there and presented the trophy to the Aces after the game.

Miss Rebecca, if you have this video, this is the loudest boo I have ever heard in recent history.

Take it away, Miss Rebecca.

Davis

and to present the trophy

for YouTube TV.

Here is WNBA Commissioner Kathy Engelbert.

Boo!

Thank you, Holly.

Well, we're here today to celebrate a champion.

Thank you to all the fans.

Phoenix had a great run to get here.

And I just want to congratulate the Aces on a performance 2025 WNBA champion.

Look, and the video from the inside the arena was even worse, bro.

You couldn't even hear her microphone no more.

I'm talking about the loudest boo.

I think sis might need to go ahead and tender her resignation just to help herself out.

What you think?

I think the other booze that are like,

I guess, rival is the boo that we all kind of

have tongue-in-cheek where it's Roger Goodell at the draft.

But like that's a shtick.

This was a legit impromptu F U boo.

This was a where and then they asked Asia and the rest of the aces like, hey,

what did you think about your commissioner getting booed?

And they were laughing.

They were giggling at her.

There's no love lost.

It's one thing when the fans don't like you.

It's another thing when you're getting bullied by the fans and the rest of your colleagues that you are in business with are like, yeah,

you see her get booed?

Oh, man.

Damn, that was a cold piece right there, but she deserves it.

Yep, she deserved it.

Do you predict the lockout?

Are we going to see any WNBA in the near future or is it going to be

I'm gonna say this I locked out they won't let me play no

I think we get a I think we get a lockout but we I also think we have games start on time okay so I think from now when the the you know expiration of the CBA happens which is in like I think two weeks till till April, I think there's no deal done.

I think we get a deal done in the final four or the Elite A.

I think we're waiting.

So that means like free agency.

I don't know what happens at that point.

Do you sign the deal and then

like you're not going to sign the deal until you're going to get new money?

That's why they're all free agents.

So you may have free agency last

until like we might not have rosters until April.

That's what I think is so crazy because it's like 80% or something crazy in terms of the available talent that can change teams.

So that's the part that really is interesting is that these rosters aren't set

and they might not be set until like two weeks before the season.

So it's going to be chaos even if there is a season.

Right.

If the roster's set or not, I know one damn thing.

The Atlanta Dream still charging my account for these tickets on time.

They already charge you?

Bro, tomorrow is the day he sent me the email.

Hey, bro, just happy to have you back for the 2026 season.

I'm about to leave corso is behind not so fast my friend you know what dog i'm not paying you until i know we have a season exactly

what are we doing that's crazy to me juju and more people need to know that they're asking for season ticket money right as the season ends for the next season

in in terrible fashion too against the fever.

I'm not going to bring it back up because it's painful.

But yeah, bro.

Get it together, man.

At least have a season on the docket before you start taxing my people.

Listen, Gigi, do you want to post up?

I think what we should do is we should plan a couple of weeks.

We post up at the Meadowlark Hotel and we get season unrivaled tickets.

Those are the tickets I'm ready.

Those are the tickets I'm ready to see.

They'll put us up in sweet fashion for no money.

We'll hang out.

We'll do DLS.

We'll be the unrivaled correspondents.

What you think about that?

I'm locked in.

I like it.

I like it.

Because we know that season is going to happen.

Oh, yeah.

That thing is going to happen no matter what.

It's already going to happen the year after that and the year after that.

They getting money over there in the MIA, yo.

But moving on real quick because WNBA season is over now.

And we got the NBA season coming around that mountain when she comes.

So I'm going to ask you a way too early question right now.

Who is winning the NBA championship this year coming up?

Oh, man, Juju.

What I will say is this.

It's really hard to repeat.

It's really, really hard to repeat.

I think

the Thunder will win 67 games this year.

But a team that I think is not getting nearly enough respect, and I think probably people who are in the know are giving them respect, but the casual fans are not, is the Denver Nuggets.

What the Denver Nuggets have done, first of all, they took the Thunder to seven.

And in game either five or six, I forget which one it was, Denver was up ten points in the fourth quarter, and they just melted in the sun.

And the Thunder found a way to win that game.

There's a realistic chance that Denver, even as shallow as their team was last year, could have gone to the finals.

So you add Bruce Brown back into the mix, Bruce Brown, Brucey B, as Michael Malone used to call him.

You add another center because the on-off minutes for Jokic have been horrendous.

And Jonas Valentunis, they said, take your ass away from Greece.

You're coming into this team, and you're going to play.

You get Cam Johnson, who I think Cam Johnson is going to change everything about this team.

A lot of people think it's just like a better Michael Porter Jr.

They don't play the same at all.

He's an incredible passer.

He cuts without the basketball a lot, and he's going to open things up for the perimeter.

Impeccable Afro, too.

Impeccable Afro as well.

And then you have Tim Hardaway Jr.

off the bench, who's going to provide some much-needed shooting

and rotation buckets.

So they really made a lot of changes.

Then you also have

Holmes, and

he's coming off that ACL.

He was awesome in Summer League.

So there's a lot, or Achilles, I forget which one, but there's a lot to like about the Nuggets, and I think it's going to make things a lot easier for Denver.

They could be the two seeds.

So for me, it's Denver.

Who is it for you?

I mean, I hate when this happens.

This has never happened before on the Alio, but I guess the Denver Nuggets as well.

Because I'm looking at Joker.

I'm looking at how he almost got that team.

Michael Porter Jr.

and that weak-ass shoulder.

That team.

Russell Westbrook shooting on and off.

He might hit you five in a row.

He might hit you zero out of 10.

That team almost went to the finals last year.

So you take those things away, as well as the coaching confusion and all that noise that was surrounding them.

I think they are boys who,

dare I say, especially with my substance out this year for sure.

I'm going with the Nuggets.

Yeah, I like that.

And then, real quick, not to pile on too much, but listen, you still have players that stepped up for the Nuggets that are only getting a year older that Michael Malone didn't want to play that much.

So

talk about the Julian Strawlers of the world, and he had an awesome game.

He does.

He does.

And so there's a lot of young players as you look at them.

Christian Brown, I didn't mention, right?

You also have

Peyton Watson right there.

So you've got like now a team that was really not deep at all and a team that is super deep, like 9, 10, 11 deep.

And that's how you compete with the Thunder is when Shay's off the floor and they're having other guys play,

you've got dudes that can give you buckets like Tim Hardaway.

So I think it's going to be them.

I really do.

Yeah.

Speaking of buckets, our bucket getter, our main bucket getter over here is Miss Rebecca Donahue, Dr.

Rebecca Donahue.

And we like to toss it to her for a segment called Boy Stop.

First off, Miss Rebecca, how you feeling today, sis?

I'm doing all right, Chu Chu.

I'm doing all right.

How are you doing?

I'm doing pretty good.

How was your weekend?

It was okay.

Where are we going with this?

Where are we going?

I'd like to get an audience for you.

He's trying.

He doesn't even know the type of wizardry that Juju.

And here's the thing, Mr.

Rebecca.

When he's asking you these things, you need to be furiously getting the clips up.

What the f, Sherlock, mama that's that's because you're standing there.

Where's this going, Juju?

It was actually an okay weekend.

How about that, huh?

She's just sitting there frozen, like, where is it?

I got a video.

God,

we're going to have to bleep, kind of, half.

Just play whichever video you got first, Miss Rebecca.

Here's a good one.

He's not even asking much, just something.

Oh, my goodness.

We love our friends at DraftKings 100%.

Always

rap first at DraftKings.

Exactly.

DraftKing users, always pay attention to the small print below.

If you have a gambling problem, please dial Hope NY.

1-800, Hope NY.

Play the video, Miss Rebecca.

Hello, Baba.

I need two more points, homie.

Two more points.

You care about Paul A.

Dickie.

Listen, I won every day since Sunday.

Preseason, bro.

We're like.

I won every day since Sunday, bro.

Get him out of here.

Ban whoever that is from the arena.

First of all, you betting on preseason basketball.

You, sir, need

to go to a meeting or two i'm not gonna say i'm not gonna put you in counseling but just go take a brochure for the meetings and then you're gonna have the nerve the audacity to bother paolo with that need two points now if i'm paolo i ain't giving you them two points i don't give a damn about your bet how you feel sis

i just think and we're not even talking about betting preseason games You're betting preseason player props?

Are you insane?

These players are only playing one half of basketball.

We don't know what the rotations are.

Are you out of your mind?

And I know you got money.

Feet are on the floor.

Feet are there

able to like tackle Paolo to get two points.

What are we effing doing here?

Oh my goodness.

Oh my goodness.

I'll tell you what we're doing.

Boys, stop.

Come on.

And you recorded yourself doing it.

Goof bar behavior.

That's the worst.

Goofball behavior.

Are you dumb?

Get him out of here.

Next video, Miss Rebecca.

He's chasing that poor guy like a payday loan.

Right.

Like a payday loan.

He may not even actually have a player prop.

He might just be doing that for the clout.

Boy, stop.

Boy, stop.

Yep, yep, yep.

Okay, I got one here for you.

This is my question.

Okay.

Why

can hoopers

not tie their shoes, people?

Like, Like, it's like, oh, no.

It's like an epidemic.

I mean,

like, just tie your kicks.

Like, this is.

You normally see one.

Have you ever seen a two-foot?

I mean, this is both.

Oh, wow.

Wow.

Did the shot go in?

Oh, the shot did go in.

Oh, my goodness.

No, it fell out literally on the contest.

And literally, the part that's boy stop is also the contest.

What are we doing?

What are you contesting like that for?

Boy, I almost snapped your heart.

Put your hand up.

Listen, that's how I tore my high ankle and my low ankle is trying to contest.

You step on someone's shoe, you roll your ankle like LeBron did when he had that high ankle sprain, and you're screaming in pain.

You're in a boot for six weeks.

Listen, your entire life has been changed because you thought you were going to get the block.

Boy, stop.

Absolutely not.

I think you buried the lead right here.

How the hell did you tear your high ankle and your low ankle at the same damn time?

Well, I was.

I told you why you always wore high-top shoes.

Oh, my goodness.

Ankle injury.

A lot of cankle injury.

Man, well, first of all, people were wearing the Jordan 13s out there to play pickup.

So the size 15 Jordan 13, my little foot steps on it, rolls off.

It rolled down and out.

Down is the high ankle, out is the low ankle.

Jesus.

Fall out.

It hurt so bad.

They said you better, you should have broke it.

You are so screwed.

You would have been better out breaking it.

That's what they said.

I was in a PT for six months.

Boy stop.

Damn.

Brother, the next boy stop.

I'm going to request this one.

My brother, Devin Carl.

Come on, do it.

I was hoping for this one.

Brother, you have to know when it's time to come home.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you have a friend out there that needs to come home, let them know.

Don't let them go out of the house like this.

What is happening?

Does he not have a girlfriend or a sister?

And I know he's not.

Try to braid it back, first of all.

Have you seen those Instagrams where they paint the rest of your head in?

They started, we didn't have that when we were a kid, Juju.

You could get good plugs in Turkey.

Like, why isn't he?

Bruh, Turkey ain't gonna fix that, bro.

No, No, no, no.

No, Mr.

Beckett.

He needs to do the full Carlos boozer where they like literally paint your hairline.

I don't like Devin Carter as a person.

He was mean to me when I met him.

And so

this absolutely gave me, tickled me pink to see my boy down bad like this.

I came up with

him if he had black Air Force energy.

And he and I said, listen, I think that's the type of toughness that the Kings have.

And he goes, I don't wear black Air Forces.

Those were the Tiffany exclusives.

And I go, excuse me.

Nobody's checking for the little Tiffany blue underneath.

Boy, stop.

Come home, shave it off.

Kings fans hate you because you're not producing as a first-round pick.

And he got pissy energy.

I think I can say pissy.

I don't know if that can get blue.

Well, that's why his hair fell out.

He dissed our girl.

Listen, the Lord don't like, listen, Lord don't like ugly.

You out here acting ugly before you even play one season game in the NBA.

Not even a real rookie yet.

Like, you've been in the league for a cup of coffee and you've lost your hair like you're 14 years in the league, Devin Carter, you're getting this.

That's right.

You don't mess with the coven.

This is what his hair looks like.

Listen,

Trista, this is after Trista.

Yes, it is.

Before the besmirch, after the besmirch.

Look, the besmircher is back on duty.

We start out talking about this man Harry.

She talks about Kings fans don't like you.

I don't like you.

Your sister probably don't like you.

The radio show that covers the team don't like you.

We all revel in your harm.

Right.

Shoes, whack.

Fighting stance, whack.

Car, whack.

Three-point shot, whack.

Literally, they asked me, okay, somebody asked me, not to bring it back to the W, if

any W NBA player, if Asia Wilson, actually, I think it was Asia Wilson, if if Asia Wilson could beat any NBA player one-on-one, three-dribble max.

And I said, I went around with some names.

I think she could not beat Ryan Archie Diakano.

He's got bounce.

But I.

Hold on, hold on, hold on, wait.

How do you say that last name in the game?

Ryan Archie Diakano?

I think it's Arch Diakado, but neither here nor there.

Keep going.

Anyway, the name that we all settled on was Devin Carter.

And so

he cannot shoot.

He cannot shoot.

His jumper's broken.

And for a guard, that's a tough look.

That's, we, look, salute to Devin Carter Jr.

Tristan stop.

It's really girl stop.

Stop messing up.

I don't know, bro, because he's still the son of an NBA player.

And his dad was super athletic with the nuggets.

I think he got athleticism in his blood.

He doesn't have hair genes in his blood.

Grandpa did him wrong.

He should take it it from his dad because his dad played ball most of his career.

Wasn't his dad bald though?

Yeah, he did.

He played bald headed the whole career.

I think he just,

I think it's a bet or a dare because ain't no way in hell, bro.

Ain't no way.

Ain't no way.

Well, yeah, man, that might do it for another episode of The Alley Oop, or as they call it in Cuba, Leigh Alley Oop.

And I know you've been wondering, and yes, this is one of those ones right here sent to me personally from l dan l lebetard you feel me dls hoops jerseys available soon sooner than later i'll just say that can i get one

before they're available could i get one

come on now

any last words trista

come on home devin carter come on home Yeah, I'm gonna echo that sentiment.

Come on home, Devin Carter.

Also, Miss Rebecca, I'm glad you had a great weekend.

As always, thanks to Miss Rebecca Donahue and my boy Dylan with the Ds.

You feel me?

I always thank you for listening and tuning in.

Catch us again Friday.

Same bad time, same bad channel.

Hey, audience, I got a special treat for you because I want to talk to you about Miller Light, but I want to talk to you about Miller Light with my good friend Rose.

Hey, Rose.

Hi, everybody.

When we hang out, and we hang out often, we're friends.

I consider us friends.

Yeah, me too.

We're often toasting the good times.

And what am I toasting with?

With Miller Light.

That's right, Miller Light.

Whether you're hanging out with your dear friend Rose or at game day, it just hits different when you got a Miller Light in your hand.

From jaw-dropping touchdowns to fantasy heartbreaks, it's a beer that has been there for every moment.

50 years of great taste, simple ingredients, and that iconic golden color that you can spot across the room.

And it's just not the color of the beer, which is brilliant.

That beautiful white can.

How beautiful is that?

Is that you doing the sound of a can opening?

Is that your favorite sound?

Uh, no, it is a horsey, a horsey,

all right.

We'll stop doing that.

And here's a kicker: Miller Light is just 96 calories, 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces.

The original white beer since 1975.

That's right, and still hitting different five decades later.

You're so good at this, Rose.

I know.

So, whatever your game day looks like, remember, Miller time is always a good time.

Look at us, we're a great tag team.

I'm five again.

Can you do that beer sound one more time?

And the horse sound one more time?

I regret asking you about that one, but the Miller Light sound is good.

Miller Light.

Great taste, 96 calories.

Go to millerlight.com/slash shan to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Miller Light pretty much anywhere they sell beer.

It's Miller.

Now's 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.

Cuervo.

The tequila that invented tequila.

Proximo, Quervo.com, please drink responsibly.

Cuervo.

Hey, it's Tony from the Dan Levittard show, and I got to tell you something that makes me feel a lot safer with my wife and kid at home.

It's Simply Safe.

Most security systems only react after a break-in, and that's too late, if you want to be honest.

Real security stops crime before it even starts.

I just watched a video that was absolutely terrifying.

An arson is trying to light a family home on fire.

And you know what?

SimplySafe stopped it before anybody got hurt.

Their AI-powered camera spotted the threat, alerted the monitoring agent, and the intruder got confronted while still outside the house.

That's what I call real security, pre-security, not post-security.

I trust SimplySafe with my home, my family, and everything I care about.

No hidden fees, no long-term contracts.

And they've been named one of the best home security systems by U.S.

News for five years running.

Right now, Lebitard Show listeners can get 50% off a SimplySafe system at simplysafe.com/slash DLB.

That's simplysafe.com/slash DLB.

Try it risk-free with their 60-day money-back guarantee and see why I trust them so much.

There's no safe like simply safe.
