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 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.

Host Juju
We have been prepped by our illustrious producer today, Ms. Rebecca, and said have fun. So you will see three people today having the time of our lives. And I know what you're thinking, is Juju and Trista hosting. How will we see three people today? We are joined by my brother in the Lord, Jeremy. Tashay say what's happening to the people?
- [01:09]
Jeremy Tashay
What's happening? Hey, it's. It's amazing to be here with you guys. I could not be happier and have already made myself look like a dork. So we're batting. Batting a thousand already.
- [01:20]
Host Trista
He's of course on a bit on a basketball show. Just comes in with the baseball. With the baseball thing on. We're batting a thousand. Jeremy, this baseball season's over.
- [01:31]
Ad Voice
Okay?
- [01:32]
Jeremy Tashay
Yeah, you're right. I really. I got to get out of that mindset. I've spent my whole summer all in baseball mode. We got through. The fall World Series is done. I gotta put oh, no, the new hat back on. I'm talking baseball again.
- [01:45]
Host Juju
It's all good, but we gonna. Let's. Speaking of baseball right quick. The LA Dodgers are again our world champions. And I think the Dodgers had one of the coldest promo videos ready to after they won Kendrick Lamar Squabble up, coupled with Blake snail looking directly at us like, oh, it's now my pleasure to give the commissioner's trophy to Mark Walter and the 2025 World Series champion, Los Angeles Island. Didn't I tell you what you think about that, Jeremy? How did. Let's just give you a good two minutes. You know, I mean, how did you feel about the World Series as well as that promo?
- [02:34]
Jeremy Tashay
Well, the. The promo was amazing. In particular because you've got an LA team going against a Toronto team. So there's like so many layers to. To using Kendrick there, but it was. It was a mate. Like, it was A perfect World Series for me and that you had. And I was telling you guys this a little bit before we actually started recording, but like you had all of these individual moments, some for superst guys who are getting paid hundreds of millions of dollars and others for players who you never would have imagined could have contribute, contributed the way that they would. Like Miguel Rojas coming out of nowhere and being the hero. Or even with Toronto, Andres Jimenez, who. God, I've known Andres since he's 17 years old and for him to emerge, I, oddly enough I taught Andres English. It's a weird long story. We'll get into another time. But it's, it's really crazy to see how many. And that's the thing that like in many ways only baseball provides. Like in the NBA or, or in basketball in general, you will find the role player who gets hot and has a game and it's a moment. And in baseball you end up with some of those individual moments. It would feels like every game. And in that final game you end up with these superstars stepping up. It. It was as perfect of an ending as we could have hoped for. And hopefully that's like a perfect lead into basketball season where you're going to have all sorts of fun. That's, that's similar to it with teams that are coming out of nowhere but ultimately, you know, two dominant teams this season that, that make their way to the end. It, it was so much fun. I'm, I'm. And now I'm so happy that I get to kind of bring that positive energy from that season into basketball season and, and juju.
- [04:18]
Host Trista
I think the thing too is you add the squabble up to the back to back. Oh, the kiss with the back to back. He's just dead. He's dead. He's just. I don't know if he'll ever survive. It's over. I don't think anyone will ever want to hear Drake speak about anything ever again.
- [04:44]
Host Juju
Well, I know who, I know who I want to see again. But after this, Toronto salute to your team had a great year. But Alejandro Kirk, you sir, you get a salute from me. My brother.
- [04:57]
Jeremy Tashay
That guy rocks. Right?
- [04:59]
Host Juju
But moving on to the reason for the season. We here to talk hoops. Right now, John Moran is making a lot of noise per usual. Luckily it ain't the noise we used to hearing from my boy. But Ms. Rebecca loaded up after the game the other night, he had this to say.
- [05:20]
Host Trista
That's a gun joke.
- [05:21]
Host Juju
Anytime Ms. Rebecca.
- [05:23]
Ms. Rebecca
Second just give.
- [05:26]
Host Juju
It was right there.
- [05:27]
Jeremy Tashay
Wow. It Happened that fast. It was already on the first video.
- [05:32]
Ms. Rebecca
For God's sakes. Here we go.
- [05:36]
John Morant (player)
What went wrong to you today? Glass of question style. Do you feel like, I mean it was anything you could do differently? I guess regards them they had a whole spill in here. So from the outside it may be wrong, but from the outside it didn't look like you had your usual energy tonight. Go ask the coaching staff why. Okay. You feel like you should play more? Go ask the coaching staff should I play more or not?
- [06:05]
Jeremy Tashay
What have been done?
- [06:06]
Host Juju
What could have been done different to get a different outcome other than asking the coaching staff.
- [06:11]
John Morant (player)
According to them, probably don't play me. Honestly, that's what basically the message was after. So it's cool. The coaching staff message was there. It's cool, huh?
- [06:21]
Host Trista
We're good.
- [06:22]
Jeremy Tashay
You, you, you didn't have anything physically.
- [06:23]
John Morant (player)
Wrong in terms of illness or anything, okay? I'm fine.
- [06:28]
Host Trista
All right, man.
- [06:31]
Host Juju
Trista, take it away.
- [06:33]
Host Trista
Oh man. I haven't heard anything quite that effusive and I just can't even recall as I'm racking my brain for a star player. There's a lot of star players who say go ask them. Like it's not something I can speak on. Go talk to the coaching staff about X, Y or Z. But when he said that the coaching staff had a whole spiel and that essentially the take home message is to not play the guy. That's the guy and he's the one delivering that and as always also put it on wax and I'm totally healthy. It's a wrap. Oh my God.
- [07:13]
Host Juju
All right. Jeremy, what you think, bro?
- [07:15]
Jeremy Tashay
I just thought, I mean God, like to, to bring that energy to a post game presser is like, you don't see that very. It was big time. I'm just here so I don't get fined. Energy. Ye. Um, and, and really like there were two more moments outside of spiel that really stood out to me. The one which is like really amazing to use spiel in context that way. Like it pretty impressive to, to find a way in the midst of like one of the most words. I, I, I think it is.
- [07:45]
Ms. Rebecca
I think it is.
- [07:46]
Jeremy Tashay
I'm pretty sure it is. I don't want to, I don't want to get my own Jew card taken away if it's actually not. But I'm pretty sure it is.
- [07:53]
Host Trista
Like asked him.
- [07:55]
Host Juju
Yeah.
- [07:56]
Ad Voice
Yeah.
- [07:56]
Jeremy Tashay
Right. I thank you for, for outsourcing to the, to the. Not juju. Yeah six. But yeah, you've got, you've got like that moment, right. So you've got spiel in there, but then you've also got. When the reporter. Really good question. Where the follow up is, what could have been done differently outside of asking the coaching.
- [08:18]
Host Juju
Right.
- [08:18]
Jeremy Tashay
Like, it was awesome that he was like, I got to pin you down so that you don't just say the same thing over again. And then after he answers that, you can hear the PR guy in the background go, we good? And then one more question gets asked and that was like another great moment. Those. Those moments where it's awkward in a post game, like, particularly in the locker room, it's like, it's one thing when it's up on the podium, when it's in the locker room like that, you can hear a pin drop and there's other players back there who can all hear. It's not a huge locker room. I've gone through this experience before with one Jimmy Butler, and it can be a very, very, very awkward environment for everybody because now you almost feel like at times you could feel like the animosity that exists within the building could be taken out on the media. And it's just an. It's an awkward dynamic. And you really like. Like you said, Trista, you do not see that specific type of animosity brought to the forefront for that long in.
- [09:18]
Host Trista
A singular presser, especially considering the way that it goes down you before you get your takeoff, because I know you have an excellent one. Is that the. The logistics of getting that done we have to talk about really quick. So you get access to the locker room between the time of the game. Well, be time. The time they tell you you can go in and the first player. And I don't know if this is different for Miami or Memphis or wherever, but in Portland, from the time they tell you you can go in until the first player goes into the press room. If he. If he goes to the press room in 30 seconds, then you don't get to go back to the locker room. And so you're basically there up until that player usually gets showered and changed and then goes out there to give their first statement. Okay, but Jaw. Jaw clearly has already showered. He's got his shirt off, he's putting the tee on, he's putting the sweatshirt on. So you really found a unicorn moment where Jaw's ready to get up out of there, but the first player to go in, which you would think would be Jaw to the presser is. Hasn't got there yet. So like that window can get like, very slim. So I. It's just a tremendous bite, really.
- [10:33]
Host Juju
Right? What do you think? I got John Morant going to the shower, hitting one of these right here. I'm out of here.
- [10:37]
Jeremy Tashay
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
- [10:39]
Host Juju
I'm getting out of here as quick.
- [10:40]
Jeremy Tashay
As humanly possible, right?
- [10:41]
Host Juju
Or this is my boy still musty from the game. You know what?
- [10:44]
Host Trista
Just.
- [10:44]
Host Juju
I'm getting out of here, right? I didn't play as much as I wanted to, clearly.
- [10:49]
Host Trista
So I'm not sweaty. I didn't need to take a shower, right?
- [10:53]
Jeremy Tashay
That's the statement on its own, right?
- [10:55]
Host Juju
Like you said, bro, When. When a. When a brother like Jai usually spill in a sentence, you already know something going on.
- [11:02]
Host Trista
They had a whole spiel. They must hate y', all, and he must hate them. And that Tomas Aya solo. It's not working, bro. He's gone. John Moran is gone. By. I mean, the deadline is not even. The deadline's not even in the picture anymore. We're talking about, like, this week. We're talking next week. I don't think you can do that, get suspended. Got suspended. We didn't even talk about that. It's insane, right?
- [11:27]
Host Juju
Speaking of the trade, destinations for job Moran, like you say, you think. You think they're gonna get them up out of here asap. Where do you think the options are for John Moran, a player of John Morant's caliber, status, coolness, swagger. With his past and his history, where do you think he can go? I got a couple spots that may be okay, and one of these may be very offensive to my brother Jeremy Tashay, the first one. Minnesota Timberwolves. I feel like they know how to deal with somebody like that because they deal with somebody like that. And my brother Ant, man, but so double down, right? Is that. Is that too much? What y' all think about that one? Is that too much or too little?
- [12:14]
Host Trista
Oh, man, that's a great one. Honestly, I don't know what that trade is to get it done. You know, I think that's a big key piece. Are you getting rid of, like, Conley for salary and then, like, trying to get one of these other players? Are you moving Julius Randall? And, like, I don't know how that works with the Grizzlies.
- [12:32]
Host Juju
What do you think, bro?
- [12:33]
Jeremy Tashay
I'll talk from the. From the Heat perspective, right? Because I know one of the places that everybody floats out there is the Miami Heat, right?
- [12:39]
Host Juju
Miami Heat.
- [12:40]
Jeremy Tashay
I. I find it to be a fascinating combination of factors that go toward the Heat, right? Because there's two different ways you can look at this okay. One you can look at at sort of the obvious thing, which is, all right, Heat culture. You have this established culture. You've got a guy in bam at a bio at the helm as a leader who could not be a better example for a young player on just how to be on and off the court. Obviously, Eric Spoelstra, everything that Riley is handed down, that's all in place. It seems like a perfect place for John Moran and with the value being somewhat diminished, that's something that can benefit the Heat, who have have constantly come up just short in terms of the assets available to make a move. The obvious piece sitting right there, if you want to make a swap one for one, you've got Tyler Hero, who the Heat have yet to sign to an extension. The flip side would be that you also, if you want to play with Hero and Morant and Powell, you have other financial things that can make it work, whether it's a combination of Wiggins and Jovic or. Or things like that. Right. But the thing that's interesting is that what John Morant has been most frustrated with is the offense that the Grizzlies.
- [13:53]
Host Trista
Run, the lack of ball screens and.
- [13:56]
Jeremy Tashay
What have the Miami Heat just instituted, but the exact same offense that the Grizzlies brought in last year.
- [14:06]
Host Juju
Yeah.
- [14:06]
Jeremy Tashay
So either it's you bring in this guy and he's equally furious, or in what you have as a structure with Eric Spolster at the helm, with Bama Tobia as a leader, you say, hey man, you already know the way this offense works. You got to run it. It's our way or the highway. And now you have someone who doesn't even have to learn this new thing on the fly. He already knows it.
- [14:31]
Host Trista
Jeremy, do you think Jaw would assimilate into that culture?
- [14:36]
Jeremy Tashay
I don't know JA well enough. All I know is that the Heat have taken guy after guy after guy after guy with reputation issues. Going all the way back to Tim Hardaway. Yeah. Going to Alonzo Mourning, going to obviously like Jimmy Butler and gotten them to buy in and gotten the best years of their careers out of them.
- [14:56]
Host Juju
The Heat have a built in reputation. That's the thing about them. Like I cool. As soon as you understand that you have been traded to the Heat, you understand your mindset has changed because they are known for culture first and championships right after that. As Eric Spoaster being such a great coach, he has been promoted to the USA coach. So they like, okay, we believe in that system that he got going on down there. So I Feel like Miami is one of those places where, Dang, yes, it's awesome, it's fun, but, you know, they weighing. Testing for your body fat.
- [15:34]
Jeremy Tashay
Exactly. To have a guy like Bam at the helm, not just a player like Bam, Someone who, by the way, is one of the least selfish players on the court that exists. Like, hey, Ja, you want to go get yours? Go get yours, man. It's. That's the deal with Tyler. Tyler, you want to get yours, get yours. Like when it was a Jimmy, Jimmy, go get yours. Like, I'm cool doing all the dirty work. I just want to win. I can't think of a better human being and basketball player to compliment what it is that. That John needs. But again, is it. Is it worth committing $45 million each of the next couple of years down the line toward a player that you don't even know if he's going to buy in? That's the concern. And they just came off of a year where the entire thing was tanked by a guy who didn't want to buy that. That's. I think it's potentially worth it.
- [16:22]
Host Trista
That's facts. But the reason that it wasn't worth it was why? Because they didn't want to pay Jimmy.
- [16:27]
Jeremy Tashay
That's right. That's right.
- [16:29]
Host Trista
And Jaw is already getting paid. He's already.
- [16:31]
Jeremy Tashay
That's right.
- [16:32]
Host Trista
On the payroll. He's getting exactly what he wants to get paid. And you're not sure if you want to invest. And I know how much Pat Riley loves Tyler Hero. He feels like Tyler Hero is a little mini Pat Riley. But they're not sure if they want to pay Tyler Herro. So if you're not sure if you want to invest the money and he's basically on like a two year, prove it deal, then make the move now. See what you can get. And on top of that, the profitability of trading for Jaw is crazy. Because, listen, we've been. We've been to this arena, Caisea, and, And seen the seats empty, even in the finals. I promise you.
- [17:10]
Jeremy Tashay
Relax.
- [17:12]
Host Juju
You know what it is put you on another minute. Timeout. It's. It might be empty. The first quarter.
- [17:18]
Host Trista
The first quarter, third quarter goes up. We're just. They're just parlaying. They're dealing with traffic and all that stuff.
- [17:24]
Jeremy Tashay
But that's right.
- [17:25]
Host Trista
I promise you, Jaw in the building doing what he does on a random Tuesday in November. Butts will be in the seats pre game. Yep.
- [17:34]
Host Juju
And we're gonna be. The Grenades will be in the stands because my boy will be Launching them. And lastly, before we move on, nothing better sometimes than to trade for a guy, a brother on top of that who already got two strikes. So.
- [17:50]
Jeremy Tashay
Right.
- [17:50]
Host Juju
Neither here, like.
- [17:52]
Jeremy Tashay
Yeah, but that's what the he do, man. That's like Hardaway was that, like. That's the thing. Hardaway became a guy they retired. You know his number. He's. He's one of the guys for the Miami Heat, and he was reputationally in the trash like they got him for nothing. And it's kind of what they've always done is they've. They've turned these guys who were at sort of the end of the road.
- [18:12]
Ms. Rebecca
But for that matter, even when they.
- [18:14]
Jeremy Tashay
Acquired Shaq, it was like he was out on the ropes in la. And they went, yeah, we'll be the team to go get him. Why would we get Shaq? We can get him to buy in for a couple years. Oh, they win a championship. Their first championship. So, look, it makes all the sense in the world. It's just a matter of whether, you know, now they reconsider the flexibility that they wanted this offseason, because this is the type of guy that you. You lose that flexibility for. And what that package looks like. Is it a. Here, here's Tyler Hero. You guys sign him and get him to buy in. We take Jaw. Or is it the decision to just be a team that's small and you run Norm Powell, Tyler Hero, John Morant, and bam. At a bio with whoever you want and say, we'll be the anti Rockets. You have all the sides in the world. We're going to be this small team that runs around and just tries to score 150 a game, which would be the antithesis of everything that he'd have done forever but would be. Be so damn entertaining.
- [19:11]
Host Juju
Right. Speaking of the Rockets, right quick, I had those people as one of the places his landing spot is, and also a place that will not work, but will work on paper for the Hawks. The Atlanta Hawks? Yeah. Don't bring them to Atlanta, though, because my boy will be in Zone 4 tonight.
- [19:31]
Host Trista
Or Houston, same deal. Listen, Houston goes up, they got the. The foie gras bacon wrap steak at the James Harden spot. Like J. Harden will upload him to every place he needs to go. We cannot have the spots be Miami, where the baddies are. Houston, where the baddies are. Atlanta, where the strip clubs and the baddies are. We cannot have these.
- [19:52]
Jeremy Tashay
Let's get them to Sacramento. How about Sacramento?
- [19:54]
Host Trista
Exactly. Jeremy. That's where I think he should go. The fans will Love him. They just trade Zach lavine and demar Rosa. Figure something else out. Make them go to Memphis. They need the scoring. They need guys that get you empty buckets. And Sacramento has plenty of those.
- [20:11]
Host Juju
Those brothers. Like, I seen a meme on. On Twitter yesterday, and it said, those white men are dangerous. And they had a picture of Luca, Dick, Jake Laravia, and my dog, Austin Reeves on it. What a week for my boys. Like, the trio. Luca was out, didn't miss a beat because Austin said, you know what?
- [20:35]
Jeremy Tashay
What?
- [20:35]
Host Juju
Lakers. Here's my back. Jump on it. They've been having a phenomenal week. What do y' all think? Can they sustain this is. Is LeBron. How do y' all think LeBron is seeing this right here? Is he like, look at my boys. I'm so proud of him. Also, Austin Reeves, first player in NBA history to throw an alley oop to a father and a son on the same team like this here. You know what I mean? Oh, wow.
- [21:04]
Jeremy Tashay
I hadn't thought about that. That rocks, right?
- [21:07]
Host Juju
What do y' all think? Can they sustain this? Is this the real Jake Laravian? Here we go. Let's check out my boy Austin.
- [21:13]
Jeremy Tashay
I've got to be the first person in NBA history to throw a father alive and a son alive. I don't know. This guy gotta be right. I mean, while they're still on the same team, right?
- [21:29]
Host Juju
It was a hater in the crowd.
- [21:31]
Host Trista
I know. Y' all look the damn same. Jake Laravian, Austin Reeves, Honestly, like, the casual fans. And if you said, hey, which ones? Jake Lario, which one's Austin? They're going to get them confused. Honestly.
- [21:43]
Host Juju
That's racist, bro. That's racist.
- [21:44]
Jeremy Tashay
Yeah, we don't know all white people.
- [21:46]
Host Trista
Tell them they're calling them Tres Les. Another one for you, Jeremy.
- [21:52]
Host Juju
I called Indiana Fever Trace Les earlier.
- [21:54]
Jeremy Tashay
We had. We had that too, with. When it was Tyler Duncan. And I'm trying to remember who the. What is it? Max Stre, maybe?
- [22:01]
Ms. Rebecca
Yes.
- [22:01]
Host Juju
Max was loose as hell.
- [22:05]
Host Trista
This is a new. New, like the new level of exciting whites, you know what I mean? Like, these are like. There's exciting lights and there's like, oh, exciting, right?
- [22:14]
Host Juju
It's Cooper De Jean. Yeah, that's how they doing, right? Like, yeah, bro, I think they got something cooking, man. I think this was important for them as well, especially for the Lakers organization. The people, the Lakers fans, to see that. Wait a second. Life Post LeBron ain't as scary as it once was, right? Salute to Nico Harrison. We love. But yeah, this thing ain't so scary. Especially if we gonna get that type of output from Luca. Because we all know Luca injury prone that time.
- [22:44]
Ms. Rebecca
We.
- [22:44]
Host Juju
He already done missed a game or two this. This year. And it's gonna say this.
- [22:49]
Host Trista
I was gonna say this. Ju. You. You just to go back really quickly to John Morant. You see that sometimes it's the location that changes your mentality and your actions. And there was no world that Dallas was ever going to be a conducive environment for Luca to slim down. Like there's just too much Tex Mex. So like LA is a city where you. You feel ugly if you're five pounds over.
- [23:14]
Jeremy Tashay
Yeah. You have no choice.
- [23:15]
Host Trista
You have. You are shamed into it on a day to day basis. And I think that's like what you would expect. And what we get from Luca Luka is a test case for jaw in Miami. Just to circle it back.
- [23:25]
Jeremy Tashay
Yeah, well, and for that matter, you're talking about a certain player that may no longer be for Los Angeles. Can I. Can I float the idea of if a John Morant doesn't end up in Miami?
- [23:37]
Host Juju
You gotta whisper this.
- [23:39]
Jeremy Tashay
Hold on.
- [23:40]
Host Juju
You gotta whisper that. Say it.
- [23:41]
Ad Voice
How about.
- [23:41]
Jeremy Tashay
How about instead of trading for John Morant, the Miami heat trade for LeBron James?
- [23:53]
Host Trista
Wow.
- [23:55]
Host Juju
My mind is blown.
- [23:57]
Jeremy Tashay
Lucky to be a pretty good fish.
- [23:59]
Host Trista
He would be a good fit.
- [24:00]
Host Juju
We got a segment here at the alley oop, illustrious alley oop that we like to call Boy Stop. And we gonna have that right after these messages.
- [24:17]
Ms. Rebecca
All right, so I just want to know for Jeremy.
- [24:22]
Jeremy Tashay
Yeah.
- [24:22]
Ms. Rebecca
Does MLB have the most voluptuous players in pro sports? Does it? Please discuss. I think he calls him fat. Just listen. For our audio listeners, what the team is seeing here is a rather voluptuous man run around the bases in a baseball uniform. It is none other than Alejandro Kirk who runs in a very fugly style. And here's the video.
- [24:47]
Host Juju
Slowest runner in the big leagues.
- [24:49]
Jeremy Tashay
He's gonna get there.
- [24:51]
Host Juju
The throw from Canzone was not close. And Toronto's taking the. It was enough having a blast with.
- [25:00]

It over there on the Jays. So does I love him?
- [25:03]
Ms. Rebecca
I mean, does it have fat?
- [25:04]
Host Trista
Where's the fat reference?
- [25:05]
Ms. Rebecca
I mean, you don't think the slowest is. You know, I thought he called him fat. That's what I felt like. Thoughts?
- [25:10]
Host Juju
I'm a horrible witness in a murder case. Ms. Rebecca. I think he got him fat, if I'm not mistaken.
- [25:18]
Ms. Rebecca
Lawyer.
- [25:18]
Jeremy Tashay
And here's the tape. Doesn't call him fat. No, he, he. I mean, look, Alejandro Kirk Is probably, if I had to say in all of sports, probably my favorite shape. He is five foot eight. Yeah, I said it. He's five foot eight, and he is like 560 pounds. And he is just the funniest athlete to watch because he straight up, like, absolutely should not be a professional athlete and yet is one of the most remarkable hitters in Major League Baseball. He's a really great defensive catcher. Yeah, it's like, it's so funny to see, like, baseball's so weird in that way. Right? You could have on one team a guy who is like a pitcher who's 6 foot 9, 190 pounds, and on the other team you could have a 5 foot 8 catcher who's 250 pounds. And both guys are equally good at. At the game. And neither one of them look like they should be pro athletes. And it's just. It just makes me laugh every time I watch him play. And he's just so wonderful. They signed him for $10,000.
- [26:36]
Ms. Rebecca
Oh, my God. Like, he. He gives, like, a lot of elevation to people that don't run pretty. Like, if you run ugly.
- [26:44]
Host Trista
Oh, it is an ugly Phoebe.
- [26:46]
Host Juju
The Phoebe of runners.
- [26:47]
Host Trista
His feet are, like, so slaying out as he's going. You're like, what is. This is the least efficient run I've ever seen.
- [26:58]
Ms. Rebecca
Very inefficient, ugly. And it made me feel good because I think I run like him.
- [27:02]
Host Trista
That's like how. That's how Ms. Rebecca looks like on a random Sunday morning in Maine.
- [27:07]
Host Juju
Right. Also, think about baseball.
- [27:11]
Jeremy Tashay
It'll make you feel. It'll make you feel like you could be an athlete. That's what's great about baseball is there's. There's no sport with more of, like, the common man where you're like, oh, I could do that. And yet they're doing, like, what I would argue is the most difficult thing to do in sports, which is hit a baseball.
- [27:26]
Ms. Rebecca
And does some of them smoke? Like, any sport with, like, the professional athletes smoke? I'm like, what is happening?
- [27:31]
Host Juju
Yeah, look, Ms. Rebecca.
- [27:33]
Host Trista
Smoke all of it.
- [27:35]
Host Juju
Look, we going to have the institute. If my records are Recollectly right now, $10 fine for Ms. Rebecca for using the word voluptuous. It's, it's, it's every time that word is used, you pay $10. It doesn't matter.
- [27:51]
Jeremy Tashay
Well, I said. I said he had my favorite shape in sports.
- [27:54]
Host Juju
So you're a guest and we gonna let that slide.
- [27:57]
Ms. Rebecca
Would you do this for free drinks? Standby.
- [28:00]
Host Juju
Oh, Lord.
- [28:01]
Ms. Rebecca
Stand by Stand by. Mama's getting it together.
- [28:04]
Host Juju
We are standing by, bruh. My boy is proposing in a restaurant, getting a hug from his wife for free food. But here's the gag. They're just getting free food. He already married her.
- [28:22]
Jeremy Tashay
I love that. I love that.
- [28:24]
Host Juju
It is inbounds out of bounds, bro. What you think, Jeremy?
- [28:28]
Jeremy Tashay
Oh, no, I'm into it. I'm into it. Hustle smarter, not harder.
- [28:30]
Host Trista
It's 20, 25. People are losing SNAP benefits. You do what you can.
- [28:34]
Jeremy Tashay
That's right.
- [28:35]
Host Juju
See, there we go.
- [28:36]
Jeremy Tashay
No, that's right. Now she's got it exactly right. Right. That's. To me. You take advantage wherever you can. You tell? I always, like, whenever my wife and I are on vacation, I'm always trying. She's too, like, embarrassed to do stuff like this. She's way too. She's, like, so honest to a fault and. And to a point where, like, I'm always saying, like, we should constantly be telling them it's our honeymoon. Everywhere we go, it's our honeymoon. Everywhere we go, all the time, it's our honeymoon. They'll give you something. Like, even if it's just like, oh, hey, have a. Have one free drink on us. It's like, well, that's now a drink we didn't have to pay $27 for at this hotel in New York, like, 27 times. That's what I'm saying. Why wouldn't it be our honeymoon? It's always our honeymoon. So to me, yeah, absolutely. Like, you should. 100. You should do that everywhere. Every. Every place you go. You should just fake propose. If you're not someone who's, like, too shy to handle the. This. The embarrassment that you're creating.
- [29:33]
Host Trista
If your wife had you do. If you did that to your wife, what would she do? Would she.
- [29:38]
Jeremy Tashay
Oh, if I did it.
- [29:39]
Ms. Rebecca
It.
- [29:41]
Jeremy Tashay
I don't think she would, but I just think she wouldn't. She wouldn't know what to say. Like, I think she would just be, like, in such a state of shock, which would actually play really well for the proposal, because it would be like, oh, my God, look how stunned she is.

And lastly, from the wnba, we all love the stud buds. The Stud buds are the best thing that happened in the W this year. At least one of them, outside of the Aces, getting a damn championship salute to the Aces. Whatever. But Leticia Hyderman, AKA Natisha Hydra, man, put out an album or a song or something. Tell me something. Is this a boy stop. Or is this boy go got potential? Ladies and gentlemen, she's singing. Hey, hey, come on. She saw something with potential and had to put it on wax, man. So, yeah, keep going, sis. What you think?
- [30:43]
Host Trista
Which one? Me or Jeremy?
- [30:46]
Host Juju
Let's go, Ms. Rebecca. What you think Ms. Rebecca is the.
- [30:50]
Ms. Rebecca
Diss track for that? You ain't got no potential.
- [30:54]
Host Juju
Okay. I'm so sorry for the audience for asking this Rebecca a question. Ten more dollars in the fine box for it.
- [31:03]
Host Trista
You get what mama has. That was the worst feet moment. I was waiting for that.
- [31:10]
Ms. Rebecca
I had that in the background.
- [31:11]
Host Trista
You had that in your back of my mind.
- [31:13]
Jeremy Tashay
She wrote it.
- [31:14]
Host Trista
That made it down.
- [31:15]
Ms. Rebecca
No, I didn't write it down.
- [31:16]
Host Juju
Lord Jesus.
- [31:18]
Host Trista
And she's gonna get so many from that song. She's gonna send it. She's gonna send it and be like, I was making this song for you, and she already has, like, the most soft, soft energy. I. I was at this event, Jeremy, in New York City that they invited the stud buds to, and I brought my little puppy Ollie, and she was like, can I hold him? And my heart melted. I almost fell in love with tea. And I'm not even interested in tea. Come on. So the ones that have allegedly got a body like that got potential.
- [31:54]
Host Juju
She's gonna.
- [31:54]
Ms. Rebecca
She's gonna reel them in. Trista's right. She's gonna reel them in. In with that. Yeah.
- [31:58]
Host Trista
She's swimming in panties after that.
- [32:01]
Ms. Rebecca
Swimming in it. Swimming in it.
- [32:04]
Host Juju
And on that note, ladies and gentlemen, we going to call that a girl. Go. Because that's not a boy. Stop.
- [32:10]
Host Trista
That's a green light.
- [32:11]
Host Juju
Go right. Keep it moving. But tell folks where to find you.
- [32:16]
Jeremy Tashay
So you can watch me on the Dan Leitard Show. We're taking a break from the pitch clock, I think, for a little while. But, hey, if you're interested in baseball, we welcome all newcomers. Our whole thing is, like, everybody watching you might not know anything about baseball. We had a whole bunch of people who watched it for the very first time this year just because they enjoyed watching Chris and I make fools of ourselves in trivia. So come join us over there on the pitch clock, and then, yeah, you can follow me at Jeremy Tashay on X on Instagram. And I will have all sorts of updates from the Miami Heat throughout this season. My first game on the sideline this year is November 10th against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
