[Dan LeBatard]

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

[Greg Cody]

Cuervo.

[Dan LeBatard]

What are you doing here?

[Greg Cody]

Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

[Dan LeBatard]

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.

[Greg Cody]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

[Dan LeBatard]

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.

[Greg Cody]

Cuervo.

[Dan LeBatard]

So enjoy the tequila that started it all.

[Stugotz]

Cuervo.

[Jack]

This just in. Inter Miami soccer coach Javier Mascherano is now reporting that Alexander Barkov may be back with the Panthers by late February.

[Greg Cody]

Thank you, Greg. Always appreciate your hard work. Also appreciate now that we found it, your work at a minor league baseball game where you had so much trouble announcing the last name of a Hispanic baseball player even though you've lived in South Florida all of your life.

[Jack]

Stepping to the plate, number 13, Yeltsin and Carson. I'm a human being. I mean, I'm not infallible.

[Greg Cody]

Also fallible. Ryan Braun. Let's play a compilation of Ryan Braun angrily denying that he used steroids, even though he clearly and obviously used steroids.

[Dan LeBatard]

I truly believe in my heart and I would bet my life that this.

[Elle Duncan]

Substance never entered my body at any point.

[Dan LeBatard]

If I had done this intentionally or unintentionally, I'd be the first one to.

[Elle Duncan]

Step up and say I did it.

[Dan LeBatard]

The system, in the way that it was applied to me in this case was fatally flawed. I had a conversation with the Players Association.

[Jack]

I expressed to them that I have.

[Dan LeBatard]

Not done anything that could have possibly led to this test result.

[Elle Duncan]

I've already addressed everything related to the Miami situation. I addressed it in spring training. I will not make any further statements about it.

[Dan LeBatard]

The truth has not changed. I don't know the specifics of the.

[Elle Duncan]

Story that came out, but I've already addressed it, I've already commented on it, and I'll say nothing further about it.

[Greg Cody]

Excellent. Generic guitar News music. She's the longtime SportsCenter host. She's the host of ESPN's Vibe Check. It's every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 5pm Eastern, exclusively on Disney Plus. I have missed her. We miss her. Why do you hate Riley Moss so much? Why are you going angrily and publicly after poor Riley Moss as your Broncos have a great defense and we're just winning one of the biggest games that you've seen them win in the last 10 years.

[Elle Duncan]

Oh, hey, what's up, Greg? You know what? I was gonna say that, but it doesn't have the same ring to it when Greg's actually sitting there. Like, I could just be saying hi to Greg. Hi, Chris.

[Andrea Carter]

Hi.

[Elle Duncan]

So many thoughts. You guys always come in with just so many thoughts, so many thoughts about Ryan Braun. Like, first of all, I hate when people say, like, I'd bet my life that's not a real bet that you can do on. So those are hollow words. Secondly, why would you hold that press conference at a ballpark? Anyway, Back to Riley Moss, Dan. Riley Moss was really, really good in that Bronco secondary last year. Like. Like a captain good. He gets hurt. He's not the same when he comes back. That's to be expected. And this year, he is just.

[Stugotz]

It's.

[Elle Duncan]

It's a tough assignment when you have to line up across from Patrick. Certain. But come on, you guys. Whenever there is a flag on Denver's defense, and there's a lot of flags on Denver's defense, there is a 100 chance it's on Riley Moss. It's. I don't, like, at this point, like, give up the touchdown. Good God. It would be a different result than consistently getting called for dpi. That's the game plan now. Oh, we're in a third and long situation. Throw it. Riley Moss. He's sure to give it to us. It's just ridiculous.

[Greg Cody]

I'm used to seeing you this way about the Georgia Bulldogs. I'm not used to seeing you this way about the Denver Broncos. So the last time a Broncos game felt like this to you was It. The super bowl against Cam Newton.

[Elle Duncan]

Oh, no. I actually felt great about that one because we were beating their ass. To me, it's the. It's the fact. Damn. That, like, we win the super bowl the same year. I start working at. @ ESPN, and I'm thinking in my mind, like, this is perfect. I get to work at espn, My team is the champs. Like, I get to spread this Broncos propaganda to a national audience. And then they fell off, and they haven't been relevant. And so they're finally relevant again. They yet again, have a good defense. And to me, being able to beat the Chiefs is the way that you assure that things have changed, not only in the conference, but in the division specifically. And so there was a lot riding on that game. And so I was incredibly frustrated. I've tried to play it cool, but, like, there's blood in the water. Like, we have the best record tied for the best record in the league. Like, this is when it counts. And we were the Chiefs up and down the whole entire game, and Raleigh Moss tried to give it away.

[Elliot]

Are the Chiefs done? Is a dynasty over?

[Elle Duncan]

I mean, here's the thing that I think, you know, when we talk about Tom Brady, and I know it's annoying that we always bring up Tom Brady, we talk about Patrick Mahomes. The thing that is always so impressive about Tom Brady is not how many championships he won, but the consistency through 20 years. And so do I think this iteration of the dynasty for the Chiefs is probably over? Probably. Do I think that this is the last time that we're going to see Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs go on a run where they win two or three championships in a row? No, it might take a bit of a pause. They're not very good. They've got a lot of issues. And whereas before they could rely on Mahomes magic, they can't. But to, like, put dirt on this man's grave. He's been in six straight Super Bowls. Like, y', all, stop.

[Greg Cody]

You're still. You're still scared of him, right? I think they'd still be favored. I think if they had to go to Denver to play, they'd still be favored the next time they play them as well.

[Elle Duncan]

They would absolutely be favored. The thing that's gone for the Chiefs is the mystique. Like, the mystique this idea that, like, you know, oh, here they come, and they're the undertaker, and they're just going to beat us because the ball always bounces their way, seemingly. I think that is over. So I don't think people are as like nervous and tight to play them anymore, but it still achieves and I would still absolutely fear playing them in any important or relevant game.

[Greg Cody]

This is a crazy thing to say in 2025, but it is. Vibe Check is still a super rare kind of show. It's not thing that you see on most television, not that looks that way, sounds that way, and has that kind of chemistry between the participants. So recently, what would you say has been the biggest reaction that has been created on any recent topic amongst yourselves on Vibe Check?

[Elle Duncan]

I would say like we, full disclosure, have not the three of us, meaning me, Andrea Carter and Cheney Gumaque kind of got Vibe Check off the starting blocks. We haven't really had an opportunity to do it it together very often. But I would say in general, Vibe Check is a space where we talk about all sports, but it's really the home for women's basketball. So I think most of the conversation surrounding like Vibe Check in the women's sports space right now is college basketball. That's just started. And is UConn a not only going to run it back, but are they going to go undefeated because they look real, real nasty right now. So to me, that's probably the biggest talker is just shifting gears from WNBA into college women's space. Like what that looks like, what the number look like, how much more growth we're going to have. And just a parody L. How big.

[Amin Elhassan]

Of a threat is Project B to both the WNBA and college basketball?

[Elle Duncan]

I mean. Oh, man. What's up, homie?

[Amin Elhassan]

Oh, hey, what's up?

[Elle Duncan]

I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, famously wearing the white ball cap right now. Yeah, I don't thread. I don't think is is the right term. I think that it's an accountability check. Like it's an opportunity to continue to apply pressure to the WNBA to make sure that these players are getting paid commensurate to opportunity. And so same thing with unrivaled, like this idea that like Stewie and Nafisa don't want things to work out in the W because they have unrivaled and that helps them. Unrivaled is six weeks, y' all stop. And they pay really good salaries, but it's still not enough to sustain the lifestyle that these players have. Right. Like making 250 grand is still a lot more than they're making now. But it's not enough to like rest on their laurels and say we don't need other opportunities. So Project B is going to do the same thing that anything else does, which is just apply pressure and give these women another outlet to say, like, we have more leverage to say no to whatever you're laying out for us in the W because we have more opportunities to play. They're paying a ton of money. I think they got the Saudis behind them. And so I love it for the women involved because they have an opportunity to continue to collect bags, continue to spread the sport. Like Project B is going to be international, and from what I'm understanding, it's going to be a little bit more of like the Formula one model where they do these major tent pole events in countries across the world for a week or two at a time to really showcase the space internationally. It's the same thing that Adam Silver has been trying to do with the NBA. Now they're trying to do with the W now.

[Jack]

Why hasn't Kathy Engelbert been replaced yet? When will that happen and will it be important in terms of the future of the wnba?

[Elle Duncan]

It will be very important. I do believe it's coming. I do not believe anything is going to happen happen until they can get this new CBA ratified, because that's ridiculous. To have someone in high level conversations and then to bail right when we're actually reaching like critical time in the space, I think is asinine. So I don't anticipate any change happening before then, but I do anticipate a change coming. And I talked to an executive in the NBA just about sort of the precarious situation that she's found herself in. And, you know, I think the issue that they raised for me is that like, Roger Goodell gets called a lot of names. He's maligned, like, by fans. He gets booed everywhere he goes. And most of that is because everyone believes that he only works for the owners and he's got the owner's interest in mind only. Right? So he's in with the owners and he's not in with the players. That's the idea, at least the narrative that swirls when it comes to Kathy. She doesn't necessarily have great relationships with the teams or the players. So if you're not, if you, if you're not like currying favor with either side, I just don't know how you, you survive it. And I watched her, y' all get booed mercilessly at the WNBA finals when we were in Phoenix. And I think it's, I think it shocked her. I think, I think it was really off putting to her to see how she has become the villain in this story. And I think she's done a really good job raising capital throughout the years where it wasn't as easy to raise capital, where we didn't have numbers and metrics to prove that this was a great business strategy. But I also think that, like, the relationship has clearly deteriorated to a place where I don't think it's ever going to be fixed. And if you at least had the owners on your side going, that's our. And we're going to make sure she stays. But I don't think she has that either. So if you don't have either side, I just don't how long you're. You're in for this job.

[Greg Cody]

I did not see the basketball game between Notre Dame and Akron, but I did see that Hannah Hidalgo had 16 steals in the game. Is it gas bag male of me to wander over and just say Akron's got a point guard problem instead of. Instead of celebrating that 16 steals is a fairly amazing. A fairly amazing thing to do?

[Elle Duncan]

I would maybe say Akron has a basketball problem, General, because that's crazy. And like, here's the thing, though. Hannah Hidalgo has, since she's come into the. Into the college space, has led the league in steals. Like, that's what she does. She's a pickpocketer. But that's absolutely absurd. And at some point you have to go, like, what are we doing? I. I love, though, that Hannah, the move from Olivia Miles and like, having her move on to TCU was really helpful to Hannah because I think there was a lot of, like, head games of, you know, when Hannah first came into the league, Olivia was hurt. So it was her as the point guard, her as the facilitator. Like, it was her ship. She was running then. She had to sort of share that responsibility with Olivia. And I think both girls were really tepid in terms of like. Like, who is the captain here? Like, who's supposed to be leading this team, who's the one that's sort of dictating pace and all that. So this allows Hannah to go back to her natural position and really be free. And we're seeing that manifest. The issue is, is that Notre Dame has a talent dearth everywhere else. They lost a lot of pieces and they did not replace them.

[Greg Cody]

Can Iowa State be any kind of reasonable competition to UConn? And if not, who is the most reasonable competition to UConn?

[Elle Duncan]

I love Audi Crooks, but I do not think Iowa State can contend with UConn. Maybe a more formidable Opponent would be like a South Carolina just because they played them before, they're deep and because defense is huge for them. But I. Legit, guys, I don't. I hate that this is one of those seasons where yet again we're going. I think it's Yukons to lose, but it is. I mean, Sarah Strong is going to be national player of the year if Az Fudd stays healthy. Kaylee Heckle coming over from usc. KK Arnold, like, they're just too deep, you guys. They're too good. They're too deep. They have too much conviction and they have Gino or Emma. So I would say like the usual suspects. Maybe an lsu, although they're very point guard heavy and they're not big enough to contend with UConn. You know, maybe a South Carolina. Don't sleep on like a Texas just because, again, like Texas, I always have concerns with their ability to score, but they are nasty. They'll have you in a 35 to 38 grudge match in the fourth quarter. So. And UCLA does have the length. I do have concerns about their coach in these big situations, like, can Corey pull a Magic out of her hat? But UCLA is definitely big enough to.

[Greg Cody]

I don't think it's a Magic. I don't think it can be.

[Elliot]

It might be.

[Greg Cody]

I don't think it can be a Magic.

[Amin Elhassan]

It could be Johnson.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, but that's the only case. You can't.

[Elle Duncan]

Can they pull a Magic. Magic Johnson out of their hat? That would be a huge plot twist.

[Elliot]

L pick one Denver Broncos super bowl this year or Georgia Bulldogs National Champions.

[Elle Duncan]

God, this is. That's, this is actually really, really tough. I'll go Broncos. I'll go Broncos Super Bowl. Just because, like, we, we have a couple of championships from not that long ago. I think it's a lot harder in the NFL to win. And so I would go with the Broncos super bowl just because I think that defense deserves one. But damn you for making me choose, like, choosing between, which we can all do, by the way. Anybody in there that has more than one kid knows you have a favorite.

[Greg Cody]

Go ahead and do it.

[Elle Duncan]

And then my dad will go next.

[Greg Cody]

Go ahead and do it.

[Elle Duncan]

It's my favorite is my son.

[Stugotz]

Wow.

[Greg Cody]

She answered that scene.

[Amin Elhassan]

Hey Al, you picked the right kid by the way, because that other kid, Georgia Toothless. Toothless.

[Elle Duncan]

Well, but to be true Amin and that's honestly why I'm sort of like, like like this Georgia defense is horrible. The offense is pretty good. It would be very surprising for them to win a national championship. It and so it would be exciting. But I just feel like Georgia is always going to be in the conversation, even with a bummy team like they have now. Well, bummy by Georgia standards, that they.

[Elliot]

Have now fourth in the nation.

[Amin Elhassan]

No, by there.

[Elle Duncan]

But that's what I'm. But that's my point, you guys, is that, like, Georgia's defense is nowhere near where they used to be. We do not have the weapons at skill position players like we've had before. Gunners playing incredibly well. This is not a team on paper that should win a national championship, but they're fourth in the country. And that's my point, is that they're going to retool, reload. They're going to get better next year on defense. They've got some really big recruits coming in. They're always going to be in the conversation, even with a bad team, like, for the Broncos. Come on, bro. Like, we haven't even. We've won one playoff game in 10 years. Like, that's. I'm with it, Elle.

[Amin Elhassan]

I was on the show a couple of weeks ago, and I announced that people go to UGA are mostly toothless Hicks. That's the only reason they went to uga because that's the only school that would accept them. Georgia Tech and UGA have a big game coming up. It's at gt. Last year, we almost beat you, but, you know, some trickery going on. But it's all good. This is a year destiny for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Or as Dan calls them, the Golden Jackets. Yellow Jackets. L. Would you like to engage me in a playful wager?

[Elle Duncan]

The winner of uga, by the way. I mean, you saying that Georgia fans are hickless, toothless and stupid, which is the only reason they could get in there. Then what does that say about me? Because I couldn't even get into Georgia, so I feel incredibly offended and attacked. But that's all right. I'm just a Georgia fan. I didn't actually go there because I couldn't get in.

[Amin Elhassan]

It's not just you. It's Ernie Johnson, and there's a bunch of other people who fall into that list of just Hicks. Just Hicks.

[Elle Duncan]

We are. We're a little country. And that's all right. What's the wager? I'm in.

[Amin Elhassan]

All right.

[Elle Duncan]

By the way. By the way, I'm. I'm really happy for Georgia Tech. I am. I. I do not.

[Amin Elhassan]

I don't need. Hold on. I don't. I don't need you.

[Elliot]

That's a move.

[Amin Elhassan]

I don't need a Big sis move from El Duncan. Like, oh. Oh, it's real cute. What you guys doing?

[Elle Duncan]

No, you guys haven't been relevant since 1991. I think you do need a big sis. Little pat on the head.

[Andrea Carter]

Hold on.

[Elle Duncan]

It's adorable. I mean, what you guys are doing. It's so cute. It's cute. It's so sweet. You guys are, like, ranked. It's adorbs. I love it for you.

[Greg Cody]

And.

[Elle Duncan]

And for the first time in like, 20 years, this game between Georgia and Georgia Tech is for more than just bragging rights. It's, like, for something for you guys. And so I think it's super sweet.

[Andrea Carter]

Two weeks from now, the Georgia Bulldogs versus the Amines.

[Greg Cody]

Golden State. Golden State gold Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

[Amin Elhassan]

That's how Dan Dan calls us.

[Elle Duncan]

It's actually perfect because what I expect in two weeks is that Georgia will take a golden shower.

[Jack]

Okay.

[Greg Cody]

She always does this. She does dangerous things like this. She's naughty. She's. What is that? That is the. You can't do.

[Elle Duncan]

That's Disney.

[Greg Cody]

You're Disney. That's not Disney plus, that's dangerous, what you just did there.

[Jack]

Disney minus, minus.

[Greg Cody]

Disney minus.

[Elle Duncan]

I stand by everything I just said.

[Greg Cody]

What kind of joke is terrible? Joke minus.

[Jack]

It's not only not Disney plus, it's the opposite.

[Elliot]

Greg explained.

[Greg Cody]

That makes it better. Yeah. Now that I understand what you were doing.

[Jack]

Thank you very much.

[Greg Cody]

No, no, no.

[Elliot]

I got.

[Amin Elhassan]

I got to do this wager with her. If Georgia Tech wins, I need you to wear a Yellow jackets hat on SportsCenter.

[Jack]

Wow.

[Elle Duncan]

I'll do it.

[Greg Cody]

So now what?

[Elliot]

What, they would just allow that? It's like, hey, I'm wearing a Georgia Tech hat on Sports center dates.

[Amin Elhassan]

I mean, I would say you could shout me out, but I figured my name is still, like, unspoken over there, so I just.

[Elle Duncan]

You're not. You're not Voldemort. You're not Voldemort. I mean, I will absolutely speak your name and say that I lost a bet. I. I don't have concerns about having to do that, because when Georgia wins, what do I want from you? Yeah. I want you to wear a Georgia hat. And I want you to, when you are spoken, to preface any of your comments, regardless of sport or subject, with a Go dog. Sic em. Cool.

[Amin Elhassan]

Okay. And by the way, we need this for social as well. It can't just be, like, real quick, and then it just disappears forever.

[Andrea Carter]

All right, this is a lame bet. I'm just gonna say it.

[Elliot]

Oh, what did you want?

[Andrea Carter]

Neither of you Guys are like upset.

[Elle Duncan]

About having to do it. You're like, yeah, I'll put on the hat.

[Amin Elhassan]

You think I want to say whatever the hell she just said? It's not even English.

[Elle Duncan]

Go dog sick them.

[Greg Cody]

Greg, what do you have for L? Before we play the game that is being celebrated internationally, it's no longer L yes or L no. We' got an upgrade to it.

[Jack]

Hell, America wants to know the US Mint is discontinuing future production of the penny. What do you think of that?

[Elle Duncan]

Well, I did see a story that said that like pennies could be going for $1 million at auction or something, which feels like a AI generated story. But I didn't do any research, just like anybody else on social media. So I'm going to go with it and go. If that's the case, I have a treasure trove of pennies in my kids piggy bank and I promise you I'm going to rate it. Hold on to those like who, like, let's be real. Even when I was broke, I would throw pennies away. Like, I would. I'd be cleaning out my car.

[Amin Elhassan]

You wasn't broke. I was broke going to McDonald's with them 39 cent cheeseburger.

[Jack]

I'd be picking them up.

[Elle Duncan]

You're like cleaning stuff up and you're like, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna go find my wallet for a couple pennies. I'm gonna toss them in the trash. And that's what I did. I threw them away.

[Greg Cody]

How broke were you?

[Elle Duncan]

Oh, ramen noodles. And like ramen noodles, but then one pack. I'd stretch out for two meals. So essentially I was getting away with like a do in meals. I mean, I was fat and bloated. I was fat and bloated.

[Amin Elhassan]

You. How do you make ramen stretch out to two meals?

[Elle Duncan]

Yeah, you just half it. You make it and then you half it. I would put the others part aside. I'd have one meal.

[Andrea Carter]

Break it like shatter when you break those, like dry noodles in half.

[Elle Duncan]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

Put it on the poll, please. At Lebatard show. Can you be fat and bloated if you're stretching ramen noodles over two days? Like, it doesn't seem. It doesn't seem possible financially. It doesn't seem possible. Meta. Metabolically.

[Elle Duncan]

Well, that's why I was fat and bloated. It's a lot of sodium. It's a ton of sodium. And the body needed a vegetable, but I couldn't afford vegetables. So that's what I had. Ramen.

[Greg Cody]

All right. It Is no longer L. Yes. Or El no. It's now L. Yeah. Or El Nah.

[Jack]

All right, are you ready? It's a hard A on getting cooler.

[Greg Cody]

Are you ready to do this?

[Elle Duncan]

Ready.

[Greg Cody]

All right. Wearing a Roman Reigns T shirt to date night with your wife. El yeah. Or El Nah.

[Elle Duncan]

L. Yeah. If you can't be your best ratchet self with your wife, who can you be it with?

[Elliot]

Thanks, Elle.

[Amin Elhassan]

UGA Grad. What do you expect?

[Greg Cody]

The Rams black uniforms that were apparently blue, but everybody knows they were black.

[Elle Duncan]

Yeah. El Na. I'm really getting tired of these different color splays. Like, if they don't have anything to do with your past or history or anything like that, like, what are we doing here? ELN Nah.

[Greg Cody]

The Miami Dolphins helmet should feature an old man's ass as the logo. L. Yeah. Or El Na.

[Elle Duncan]

I feel like there is more to this story, but I'm just going to go. El. Yeah. Because that is her ass. It's also awful. I'm not. I'm not going to lie. At first glance, that looked like a different part of the mailing.

[Andrea Carter]

We all saw the same thing.

[Elle Duncan]

We all saw it.

[Stugotz]

Yeah.

[Elle Duncan]

Looked like. It looked like shriveled it. Actually, my son. My son is four and he stood up in the bath yesterday and he goes, I promised you yesterday. And he grabbed his balls and he goes, what. What's inside of these? It's a long story, buddy.

[Amin Elhassan]

That's the question. That's the favorite child.

[Elle Duncan]

Literally what I said, I was like, it's a really long story. But now I can tell him what's inside of that is the Dolphins logo. So I'll go with that.

[Stugotz]

What?

[Greg Cody]

What did you answer? Because it's a great question from your son at a young age. What was your answer?

[Elle Duncan]

Well, the thing is, guys, I literally don't know what the ball part is inside, like what it's made of. So I just said, oh, it's just like ligaments and tendons and muscles.

[Amin Elhassan]

All muscle and mind.

[Elle Duncan]

I wasn't gonna get into the semen part because he doesn't know what that is. So I was like, it's just. It's muscles.

[Jack]

The future of the human race is inside your sack.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, Jack.

[Elliot]

My biggest muscle sack.

[Greg Cody]

Jack, you know your own jokes.

[Jack]

I thought it was obvious.

[Greg Cody]

Aliens. Ex. Elliot, do you want to expound? Do you want to exp. Yes, you. I understand.

[Elle Duncan]

I just. I think that. I just think it's asinine to believe in this whole big ass universe that we think that we're the only ones in it. That's wild and crazy to me. Plus, also, the government literally said aliens exist. So we just did. Rightfully so.

[Greg Cody]

Florida, Georgia being played in Tampa and Atlanta instead of Athens or Gainesville while Jacksonville Stadium undergoes renovation. L. Yeah, or El Na.

[Elle Duncan]

El Na. For me, dude, it's. The whole point is that you get to go to the vapid wasteland dump that is Jacksonville one time a year and partake. And I know this because I lived in Jacksonville and partake in the festivities. Like, there's no NFL football that's happening in Jacksonville. That's interesting. I also think if you're gonna move it, move it to the respective home. Yeah, like, I want Florida in Athens. I want to go to Gainesville. So it doesn't make sense to me if you're going to move it from the neutral side to two additional. Two additional neutral sizes. That make sense to me.

[Stugotz]

Yeah.

[Elliot]

Wouldn't that be a nice little treat just for two years to be able to play in the home stadiums?

[Elle Duncan]

I think it would be great. And I think they'd probably see that, like, that's an even better environment than the world's largest cocktail party. And the smell. Have you guys been to Jacksonville?

[Greg Cody]

But when's the last time you were there? Because Jacksonville keeps getting mad at me because I say that because it's paper mills and they say that. That's an outdated reference by me. I haven't been to Jacksonville in about six years.

[Elliot]

I went to the game this year. Smell like garbage.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, so it still smells bad. The. The thing that I wanted a ruling from you on L. Before we let you go, and I will remind everybody that you should watch out on ESPN's Vibe Check. It is on Disney plus, not Disney Minus. It's every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 5pm 5pm we had a ranking of what the worst kinds of crying is. Jeremy made a big list of tier of tears where we have a ranking from bottom to top because we couldn't decide whether sobbing was worse than wailing and weeping. So where did you land on your hierarchy and see if you have any objections here L. To how Jeremy ranked these.

[Andrea Carter]

Okay. From the very beginning here we have frog in the throat, sniffling, sniveling, lamenting, choking back tears. Is it dusty in here? Cutting onions, Allergies, Shedding a tear, boohooing, whimpering, crying. The morning cry, like in AM the morning cry. As if you are mourning a death. Bursting into tears. Waterworks, crying, a river. Bawling, crying your eyes out. Hysterical crying, crying, crocodile tears, blubbering weeping, sobbing, the shower cry, wailing, the car cry, and the single Noshon Moreno tear.

[Stugotz]

Wow.

[Elle Duncan]

God, how depressed are you, really?

[Andrea Carter]

How do we have morning? Like, someone's death? You've never cried in the shower?

[Elle Duncan]

I can't imagine. I don't remember a time where I was just in the shower and was like, this is the time for a good cry.

[Andrea Carter]

It's a good spot because you can just let all the liquids out.

[Amin Elhassan]

You know what?

[Andrea Carter]

The half pack of ramen noodles, all the liquid.

[Greg Cody]

And you're sort of ashamed and alone with your crying. It's a vulnerability you don't want anyone in your family to see. And you're also nude.

[Elle Duncan]

Okay, well, I just assumed it was sort of like the water trick, when you have to pee and you let water run so it will convince your body that you have to pee too. Maybe it's the same way for your eyes. Can I throw one on there, please? That I personally hate. I hate the cry when someone's trying to talk through the cry. Oh, the hiccup cry. Well, I just don't understand why. I just don't understand why they don't want me.

[Andrea Carter]

That's blubbering. That's blubbering. Blubbering.

[Amin Elhassan]

Not.

[Stugotz]

I think that's.

[Elliot]

That's, like.

[Andrea Carter]

I'll put it just a tick above blubbering. So the talk through cry.

[Elle Duncan]

Okay, yeah, the talk through cry. And then I do one. I do one personally that I don't think is on your list as well. And I hate that I do it, but I. The warning cry, where I warn you I'm about to cry. So I do that a lot, actually. I'll start to say something. I'll be like, and when it comes to my kids, I'm sorry, I'm about to cry.

[Jack]

Yes, I do.

[Elle Duncan]

I do.

[Jack]

I do that.

[Andrea Carter]

My dad's been doing that a lot. That's just going just above allergies and below, shedding an actual tear.

[Elle Duncan]

Oh, okay. All right. So you don't like the warning. You don't want to be warned that there are emotions that are coming and they're manifesting.

[Andrea Carter]

This is not a power rankings. L. This is a. We're. We're talking about the power of your cry. So the most powerful cry is that. No. Sean Moreno tier. The most intense.

[Elle Duncan]

That's a thug tier above sobbing, above anything else.

[Andrea Carter]

Oh, thug tier.

[Jack]

Oh, man.

[Elle Duncan]

Thug tier. Do you know how hard it is to just have one singular tear come out of one eye? It's the Denzel cry.

[Jack]

Look at me, Louie.

[Elle Duncan]

It's the mastery of crying.

[Greg Cody]

Let's identify then. Here. These are Diana Rossini's kids. What would you say this is right here?

[Elle Duncan]

Joey off the oven. What do you want? What are you looking for, Ms. Goddess is an allosaurus. I don't know where your allosaurus is. What you looking for? No lollipops.

[Stugotz]

Wow.

[Jack]

That's a reason not to have kids right there.

[Greg Cody]

What? What? What? What's the word we give that. Is that sobbing? Is that wailing? What? Nashing? What is that?

[Elle Duncan]

Yeah, being a toddler like, I, I, I'm. It's so relatable. I would say that's. Yeah, that's a, that's like a wine blubbering. I think it's like a mix of both, but it's incredibly related. My son had that same reaction today. He started screaming this morning at breakfast. Like screaming at the top of his lungs. I said, what's wrong with you, Xander? And he said, my cinnamon roll is hot. I was like, jesus Christ. Diana's exasperation is exactly how I feel 90% of the time. So, yeah, that's one of those. You just gotta ignore them.

[Greg Cody]

She said it publicly. Xander is her favorite. I can't believe she said it publicly. She just doubled down on it. It's lovely seeing you, as always. Vibe check. Disney, 5pm Eastern. Nice seeing you, Elle. Thank you.

[Elle Duncan]

Bye all.

[Amin Elhassan]

And SportsCenter.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, bye, Greg. And also SportsCenter, where Amin is hoping that she will be wearing a Georgia Tech yellow jacket.

[Elle Duncan]

I won't be.

[Greg Cody]

Baseball cap.

[Amin Elhassan]

Get out of here. Elle. The segment's over.

[Greg Cody]

The segment is over real quick.

Don LeBatard is there. Back in my day.

[Jack]

There is actually.

[Elle Duncan]

Were you not gonna tell anyone?

[Dan LeBatard]

Wait a minute, you guys. Guys, it's a Tuesday.

[Stugotz]

Still got. Here's your guy, Greg Cody with Back in my day.

[Jack]

Okay, here it is. Sorry. Adultery.

[Greg Cody]

Waiting for this one.

[Stugotz]

This is the D ler show with the two gods.

[Elle Duncan]

Foreign.

[Greg Cody]

We are talking a lot about the best teams in the NFL, and I believe the best one I saw Sunday lost and had four interceptions. Because the stat I'm about to give you. Maybe you will not be surprised by this, but the 2013 Broncos and the 2000St. Louis Rams, that's the greatest show on turf. Okay? And the Seahawks. These Seahawks are the only team since 2000 to have, through 10 games of the season, a point differential of at least 100. But they're negative on the turnover differential. They're so good at offense that they turn the ball over a ton, but they have a point differential over 100. It's the greatest show on turf. And it's. I believe it's. MVP Manning 2013 Broncos, an offense that was really good. And I think the fact that the Seahawks were kicking against the Rams for the game with that amount of turnovers makes them a team that even though they lost. I know we don't do this when teams lose, but even though they lost, they showed me something that makes me think that this might be a team that is so much better than the other teams, that even against the Rams on the road, the Rams team that we all know to be good, a Rams team that in the last seven games, their quarterback. Quarterback. Has 22 touchdowns and zero interceptions. They were kicking for the game at the end. I believe people are sleeping on the Seahawks just because they've lost a couple of times to the bucks at home. And I know that that seems to be their fatal flaw, that Darnold's gonna have the turnovers, but if he doesn't have the turnovers, they're gonna beat you. And even if he does have the turnovers, they're probably gonna beat you.

[Andrea Carter]

I have a stat to sort of support what you're saying here. Dan, in.

[Stugotz]

Start of the day, start of the day, it is your start of the day. Start of the day, start of the day, it is the start of the day. Start of the day, start of the day, it is the Start of the day. Start of the day. Start of the day. It is the start of the day. Start of the day is presented by Amazon Prime Video. Thursday Night Football is on. This week it's the Buffalo Bill and the Houston Texans. Coverage begins Thursday at 7pm Eastern only.

[Andrea Carter]

On Prime Video, per our friend Diana Rossini.

[Elliot]

What'd she say?

[Andrea Carter]

Seahawks wide receiver Jackson Smith. Njigba.

[Amin Elhassan]

Careful.

[Andrea Carter]

Is the first player in NFL history to record 75 plus receiving yards in 10 straight games to begin a season. That's the type of weapon that Sam Darnold has there. So if he doesn't turn the ball over, he has one of the elite receivers in the game, period.

[Jack]

He's magic, that guy. He's a Lobos MVP candidate. That's how.

[Elliot]

That's how he knows Sam Darnold situation, I think is pretty interesting because as opposed to last year and granted at this time last year we're wondering, okay, Sam Donald real and kind of found out maybe he wasn't. Minnesota was going to have a decision whether we want to keep him or not keep him. Seattle already made the decision. Like he's the guy. Short term, long term. This is the guy they build in their team with.

[Greg Cody]

I mean, can you give us an NBA stat of the day?

[Amin Elhassan]

Certainly.

[Greg Cody]

Let's play the music again so that we can do an NBA stat of the day as well.

[Stugotz]

I'm gonna ask for the longest start of the day. Start of the day. Start of the day. It is the start of the day. Start of the day. Start of the day. Start of the day. Start of the day. Kiddiesia Start of the day.

[Amin Elhassan]

So Dan the Thunder won big last night and once again, Shai Gildeas Alexander did not play in the fourth quarter. However, he only scored 23 points. The game before that, he scored 30 points without playing in the fourth quarter. So I looked up who leads the league all time in 30 point games without playing in the fourth quarter.

[Greg Cody]

Quarter.

[Elliot]

Oh, I want to guess.

[Amin Elhassan]

You want to guess? Yeah, go ahead.

[Elliot]

Michael Jordan.

[Amin Elhassan]

No, sorry, I should say the stats only go back to 96, 97, but also Michael Jordan didn't sit out a lot of fourth quarters because back then everybody played 48 minutes. So Shill Alexander is actually tied for second with 24 such games. Number one, Steph Curry, 24.

[Greg Cody]

They beat New Orleans last night. New Orleans is a sewer. Like as a basketball city. Zion Williamson is going to be a historic bust. He lost a bunch of weight and still doesn't play enough. I'd be really sad if I were a Pelicans fan, but I don't recall. I may be doing this wrong. For all the legend of Michael Jones Jordan, I don't remember them always being up by 30. I don't remember what OKC is presently doing. Where their star can sit out all the fourth quarters. Going back to last year is something I only remember Golden State doing in in my lifetime watching basketball. Do I not have the proper recall on what Michael Jordan's teams were doing? I don't remember them. Not even the year that they won 70 plus games do I remember them always being up by 30.

[Amin Elhassan]

So, Dan, the best net rating of all time was the 9596 bulls. It's broken right now by the current Oklahoma City Thunder. Let's see if they can finish the season out. But number I guess three is the Thunder last year. Number four is the Bulls from 96, 97. So they were very dominant. But then again, again, it was very rare. The idea that you would sit your players in the fourth quarter because you were up so big, that wasn't really a thing that much in the NBA you had to take it to like five minutes or four minutes left in the game before you pull your starters.

[Greg Cody]

What is the shirt you're wearing? Zaz, why are you wearing that shirt?

[Elliot]

It's my favorite rapper, Playboy Cardi. He was here the other night at Ameren Bank Arena.

[Greg Cody]

Why? Did you go see it?

[Elliot]

Nah, nah, you would never catch me that show. My son went. My son, my son's a big fan. My son loves rap music and he loves Playboi Carti. And my son was there two nights ago. He bought me a shirt.

[Greg Cody]

That is your son making fun of you, right? That is your maybe disrespecting you.

[Dan LeBatard]

Maybe.

[Elliot]

I wasn't sure. Like he went to the show Sunday night. He loves. He had VIP. He loves PlayBoi Carti. And he came home and yesterday he showed me a couple shirts he bought. He goes, here, I bought this one for you. I was like, wow, that's awesome. I will wear it to tomorrow. He might, he might be mocking me. I'll know for sure. I'm pretty sure he's mocking Playboy Car, the antagonist.

[Jack]

Any relationship to Rico Carti, the former great baseball player?

[Greg Cody]

Why do you do this? You did this. You did this with Alonzo Morning. Like you, you are descending into the same joke again and again. Somebody says a word and then you just name the. The Playboy car.

[Jack]

Rico Carti. I mean they could be.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, they are related.

[Amin Elhassan]

It's called word association. It's a fucking okay, Dan.

[Greg Cody]

No, they are. They are absolutely related.

[Jack]

Okay, excellent.

[Greg Cody]

Can you please give me the playing years of the baseball player that Greg Cody is mentioning? Because.

[Jack]

Underrated. Not quite a Hall of Famer, but pretty close.

[Elliot]

Tell you what, he gave me the shirt stunk of weed.

[Andrea Carter]

1963-79.

[Dan LeBatard]

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

[Greg Cody]

Cuervo.

[Dan LeBatard]

What are you doing here?

[Greg Cody]

Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

[Dan LeBatard]

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.

[Greg Cody]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

[Dan LeBatard]

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.

[Greg Cody]

Cuervo.

[Dan LeBatard]

So enjoy the tequila that started it all.

[Stugotz]

Cuervo.

[Dan LeBatard]

Cuervo the tequila that invented tequila. Proximo Cuervo.

[Stugotz]

Com.

[Dan LeBatard]

Please drink responsibly.

[Greg Cody]

Cuervo.
