Setting: Elser Hotel, Downtown Miami

---

Overview

This Local Hour episode is a lively, chaotic blend of sports takes, inside jokes, and pop culture chatter, broadcast in front of a vibrant crowd with numerous personalities on-site for event festivities. The team tackles a medley of topics with their trademark irreverence: the Miami Heat's early-season test, oddball player analysis, a deep-dive into Pablo Torre’s Clippers/gambling investigation, playful marital talk, and wild takes on World Series games. Throughout, the room pinballs between NBA, NFL, MLB, and inside show games, with offbeat characters (Amin as "Kash Patel"), singing segments, and plenty of laughter. The tone is fast, self-aware, and relentlessly fun.

Key Discussion Points

1. Show Chaos & Watch Party Atmosphere

• The crew is “not feeling confident” about the level of chaos—contest winners, DraftKings, and guests (e.g., Dave Damashek in studio, Zaslow in a race car helmet, Amin cross-eyed as an “FBI agent”).
• (01:59) “I’m already not feeling confident about the amount of chaos we have today…” – Dan Le Batard.

---

2. The Clippers, Pablo Torre, and the Gambling Investigation

• Pablo Torre’s reporting on the Clippers and gambling swirl is referenced repeatedly, with plenty of inside banter about whether Tyronn Lue has been “ensnared,” “adjacent,” or “snitched.”
• Pablo’s episode focuses on "Sugar Shane Hennan"—called central casting for a "shady snitch, informant, ringleader."
• Amin (breaking character) explains how Hennan links separate gambling rings and describes the depth of Pablo’s research:
  • (12:48) "I think part of what turns up the heat is because of Pablo's other ongoing investigation into the Clippers..." – Amin Elhassan.
• Multiple hosts analyze Pablo’s penchant for voice distortion and disguise in his podcasts:
  • (41:12) “He’s fallen in love with that voice distortion. He’s fallen in love with the shadowy pixelation…” – Dan Le Batard

Notable Quote:

• "This is again months of investigation, more than 20 sources, thousands of documents..." – Dan Le Batard (38:55)

---

3. NBA: Heat ‘Buy In’ Game & Narrow Asses

• Zaslow dubs the Heat-Spurs game a “buy in game,” meaning an early litmus test for championship legitimacy.
• Multiple hosts joke about Victor Wembanyama's uniquely “narrow ass,” launching a gleefully silly hall-of-fame of “dominant basketball players with thin asses.”
• Nominations fly: Tayshaun Prince, Kevin Durant (“the king” – Amin, 09:58), Reggie Miller, Giannis.
• Dan asks for the criteria: “We’re just doing thin players. Thank you.” (10:09)
• After banter, turns to setting media expectations for the Heat and their status versus the surging Spurs/Wembanyama:
  • (08:33) “If the Miami Heat defeat the Victor Wembanyama San Antonio Spurs, I'll turn the Heat up on their championship aspirations.” – Amin (in character)

---

4. Baseball: World Series Pitching, Dodgers’ Collapse, and Sports TV

• Jeremy is obsessed with record-breaking pitching stats from Trey Yasavage.
• Talk of the Dodgers’ struggles leads to a parallel with the Braves—are they about to become serial October disappointments?
• Panel debates the merits of Blake Snell (described as looking like “Kenny Powers’ sick brother, Lenny Powers”) and MLB pre/postgame coverage.
• Zaslow and others take shots at Derek Jeter’s TV work and incorrect game predictions.
• (31:33) “Jeter said he was gonna throw a gem.” – Zaslow

Notable Moments:

• (29:49) “First pitch, one run, third pitch, two runs. That’s got to be the first time that’s ever happened in the history of the sport.” – Dan

---

5. NFL/Pop Culture: Ravens-Dolphins, Steelers Outlook, and Marital Real Talk

• Miami-centric focus on the night’s Ravens-Dolphins matchup, contrasted with the national desire to see Lamar Jackson.
• Dave Damashek laments the Steelers' collapse and pessimistically projects their season:
  • (25:01) “One 60 minute stretch may define the Steelers season…”
• Pop-culture sidebar: Is Wednesday a “sex night?” Sprawling debate leads to the coinage of “bed down” as a phrase for sex, drawing mock confusion and polling (“Put it on the poll!”).
• Referencing NYPD Blue’s infamous ass-shot scene, leading to a generational contrast on what once outraged TV censors—(19:22) “A repressed America reacted with great outrage that that was the ass shown for the first time on network television.” – Dan

---

6. Games & Watch Party Promos

• The group promotes their Miller Lite Dolphins-Ravens block party, complete with Halloween costumes and irreverent build-up.
• Recurring segment: the Dentech “Bucket,” where panelists pick NFL games to bet on at random, often with mock outrage and suspicion of cheating.
• (44:00) Stugotz, animated: “Excuse me. Good sir. I will not stand for this. I will not be ensnared in your accusation.”
• Picks include: Chiefs over Bills, various bye weeks, and much arguing over rules.

---

7. Meta Banter: Show Self-Awareness & Running Gags

• Tony invents “Tony Finds Out,” parodying Pablo’s investigative efforts:
  • (39:16) “It took you months and thousands of documents… I found out two seconds in.”
• Ongoing gags about cheating, role-playing (Amin as “Kash Patel”), inside references, and deliberate derailing by veteran panelists.

---

Notable Quotes by Timestamp

• On Pablo’s reporting style:
  “He’s fallen in love with that voice distortion. He’s fallen in love with the shadowy pixelation…” — Dan Le Batard, (41:12)

• On buy-in games/Homerism:
  “But you’re a homer. You always buy in on the Heat.” — Dan (07:55)
  “No, that’s not true. I went to the season very skeptical …” — Zaslow (07:57)

• On narrow basketball asses:
  “When it comes to narrow asses, Wembanyama is the victor.” — Amin (09:35)
  “If Tayshaun is the prince of narrow asses, then Kevin Durant is the king.” — Amin (09:58)

• On the Dodgers’ October trouble:
  “The Dodgers are one loss away from being the Atlanta Braves, but worse.” — Dave Damashek (20:02)

• On marital attempts:
  “I’m trying to get laid over here, player.” — Zaslow (16:22)

---

Tone, Style & Energy

This episode embodies the freewheeling, layered, and improv-driven vibe that makes the Local Hour a cult favorite. Sports talk is tied together with absurdist humor, pop culture, and Miami-specific regional flavor, all while lampooning the serious tone of sports journalism. The cast gleefully mocks themselves and convention, making the episode feel like a joyful, slightly off-the-rails sports variety show.

---

For the Uninitiated Listener

If you haven’t heard this episode, expect:

• A “you-had-to-be-there” mix of sports and chaos—like being in the middle of a really fast-moving, inside-joke-laden group chat where almost everyone but you is in on the bit (but you’ll want to catch up in real time).
• Both serious and ridiculous moments are delivered with deadpan or tongue firmly in cheek.
• A tapestry of running gags, Miami homerism, and rapid shifts between real sports insight and gag.
• Plenty of quotable lines, especially around player archetypes (“narrow asses”), Pablo Torre’s shadowy podcast style, and the intersection of fandom and watching sports with friends.

---

Bottom Line:
A quintessential Local Hour—a raucous, multidisciplinary riff on the day’s sports and society, blending hard takes, nonsense, personal anecdotes, and in-jokes. It perfectly captures the irreverent, meta spirit of the Le Batard universe.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm already not feeling confident about the amount of chaos we have today with a bunch of draftkings people in town with a bunch of winners of contests in town with Zaslo in a race car outfit having all sorts of trouble with his headphones because he can't get his headphones in and around the race car helmet that he's wearing. We've got Yammering Dave Damoshek in town as part of our watch party proceedings. Juju's in town. Amin is cross eyed and wearing FBI gear. Jeremy hasn't seen stopped writing Trey Ya Savage stats on a board since 11pm last night. And now Pablo is reporting something and the Clippers have just stopped answering his calls. Like the Clippers will now not respond to Pablo as he's kind of ensnared Tyron Lou in the middle of all this stuff, a name we had not seen.

[Tony]

Ensnared as strong. Ensnared as strong.

[Chris Ryan]

Dan.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay, so what's the verb you would use?

[Tony]

I would use adjacent. Like, oh, there's Tyrone Lou. He's adjacent to what's going on, but he's not in snare. I don't think it's snared.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's not a verb. It's not. I need a verb for what it is that Pablo has done to Tyron Lou.

[Stugats]

You're looking for snitch Daniel Snitch.

[Dan Le Batard]

Snitched.

[Dave Damashek]

We agree this sound is worthy of this though.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't think so. I'm not sure because this is only for breaking news that no one else has that's going to make headlines all over the sports globe. And this one is too entangled to have reverberations that are going to be covered or aggregated. Right. Shouldn't this sound, I mean, you were a part of this episode for Pablo. Pablo will be on with us later. Shouldn't this sound be reserved exclusively for something that's going to create spinning newspaper headlines?

[Amin Elhassan]

Pablo's news breaking has torpedoed the sports world.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're going to stay in character as Kash Patel. All show going to be a long.

[Dave Damashek]

One if he does that.

[Amin Elhassan]

Dan Levatar, your days of gross tonnage have come to an end.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, they have not. I'm gonna eat so many nachos at Flanagan's tonight. Zasla, were you trying to say something into your helmet?

[Zaslow]

Oh, did that not come? Are you not hearing me?

[Dan Le Batard]

Were you trying. Who are you trying to talk to?

[Zaslow]

I'm trying to communicate with my pit.

[Amin Elhassan]

Crew and you can bet on it.

[Dan Le Batard]

Damek, welcome. It is nice to see you in studio for the first time. Football America is our hit football show at Meadowlark Media. And if you more Steelers information that you can possibly handle. You should come to the watch party tonight and get cornered by Dave Damachet.

[Dave Damashek]

Yeah, we're gonna talk about number 87 and how black and gold doesn't just belong to Sidney Crosby. We'll get into Weegee Thompson, the great 6 foot 7 University of Florida wide receiver who shined with Bubby Brister and the rest of them back there. Like I say, in the mid to late 80s.

[Amin Elhassan]

If you talk to Dave Dmechek tonight, you better steel yourself for a boring conversation.

[Dave Damashek]

Say Valhalla.

[Stugats]

Valhalla.

[Amin Elhassan]

Basketball, basketball, basketball.

[Juju]

Basketball is back, Jack. Time for our favorite winter sport. The summertime is over so let's head down to the court Time for the tip off. Give me fast breaks on the attack will you shoot three or take it to the wreck? Basketball is back, Jack. It's a dream shake down in the.

[Dave Damashek]

Post.

[Juju]

Or a killer cross you love the most when the offense tries to run and gun Is it man to man or box and wood it's big plays and talking smack now you know that basketball is back, Jack.

[Stugats]

Let me hear you say basketball, basketball, basketball.

[Juju]

Basketball is mack jack360 ducks and pick and roll and we're gonna watch it every day till they raise the Larry. Oh, hard piles and hook shots a dagger three and hack a Shacks. If you say this game's the best, I'll say Zagak. Basketball Jack. Basketball is back, Jacks. Basketball is back. Basketball is back.

[Dan Le Batard]

The basketball open, huh? On Thursday night football with the Dolphins and Lamar Jackson. You guys are going basketball open. And Zaz has declared today, and this is very early in the season, a heat buy in game. I have no idea what that means. I don't, I don't think I've ever heard. Five games into a season, that's 82 games.

[Zaslow]

Very important night tonight for the Miami Heat. This is what we call a buy in game, Dan, because if the Heat win this one and they wind up giving the Spurs. You know about Wembanyama. If they wind up giving the spurs their first loss of the season, that's a buy in game for them. Then you could take them serious. That's a buy in game.

[Dan Le Batard]

You've mentioned that a couple of times now, though. I don't, I'm not totally sure what it means. That means if they beat Wembanyama today on the road, you're going to make them championship contender worthy.

[Zaslow]

Now, now I'm buying in. I'm buying in.

[Dan Le Batard]

But you're a homer. You always buy in on the Heat.

[Zaslow]

No, that's not true. I went to the season very skeptical and I told you, I, I told you as recently as yesterday, I'm very confused about what I'm watching with the Heat. But tonight if you tag the spurs with their first, if you take that ass against Wembanyama then I'm buying in narrow ass.

[Dan Le Batard]

It is a narrow, narrow ass, Dan.

Have you seen that ass?

One of the narrowest asses to ever dominate basketball. I would say. Yeah. Wembanyama. I mean, your thoughts here. Heat against spurs tonight. You believe this is a. A game worthy of buy in status as declared by zads.

[Amin Elhassan]

If the Miami Heat defeat the victor Wembanyama San Antonio Spurs, I'll turn the Heat up on their championship aspirations.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't think I can do this with you all show.

[Amin Elhassan]

You can bet on it.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is. I'm already tired of this character and we are like two minutes into the show. I can't handle you being Cash Patel all show and speaking that slowly on a show that can pinballs like this.

[Zaslow]

His. His eyes look like Cash Patel. He's like the eyes.

[Tony]

There you go.

[Amin Elhassan]

La Costa Nostra.

[Dave Damashek]

If we're doing thin asses, I nominate Minute Bol.

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean, it's a fine nomination, but it's not a dominant basketball player. Like we're. We're talking. I already famous. I already hear people talking like if non injury division, that this is going to be an all time immortal player top five that we've ever seen. And it would be number one all time narrow ass. Excellent.

[Amin Elhassan]

When it comes to narrow asses, Wembanyama is the victor.

[Tony]

Wow.

[Dave Damashek]

And you can bet on that Tayshawn Prince.

[Dan Le Batard]

Again.

[Tony]

Good. Narrow ass.

[Amin Elhassan]

Excellent.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes.

[Dave Damashek]

We're basically just looking for other ones.

[Dan Le Batard]

I got it.

[Dave Damashek]

Slim Reaper.

[Stugats]

I mean, six foot ten. Kevin Durant.

[Chris Ryan]

What are we doing?

[Dave Damashek]

Oh, that's a good one, actually. Good job, Dave.

[Amin Elhassan]

If Tayshawn is the prince of narrow asses, then Kevin Durant is the king.

[Dave Damashek]

And you can bet on that Reggie Miller.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes. We're just doing thin players. Thank you.

[Stugats]

You got a banner?

[Dave Damashek]

All right, let's find a fat guy with the narrow ass. Hoya's icon, Reggie Williams.

[Juju]

There you go.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, there you don't go. And I'm sorry to do this to you so early in the proceedings, Dave, but let me see if I can find. Minor penalty. Two minutes.

[Tony]

Dumpster juice takes. Hold on. We got somebody for this. Dano. Hold on.

[Juju]

Wait a minute.

[Dave Damashek]

Like Tyron Liu, I've been ensnared.

[Juju]

Wow.

[Dan Le Batard]

I've been told by sources after Tony got his verb and his verbiage wrong in the shadow show that on Mystery Crate, you were outed. As someone who doesn't know what a verb is, that was false.

[Tony]

First off, whoever. Who. I don't even remember that episode, to be honest. Dan Whoever remember that, though, whoever was saying that didn't understand what I was trying to say, and they didn't get it. Again, I don't. It was so insignificant to me. I was just so on to the next thing. I don't even remember who said it or why they said it, but they were wrong. It's okay.

[Dan Le Batard]

Have any of you checked out the Pablo Torre Finds out episode? Because it again, contacts the Clippers, and the Clippers do not respond this time. And this information about Tyron Liu, Tony's got it right when he says he's just sort of adjacent to the poker part of this story. But the poker part of the story and the game fixing part of this story are more enmeshed than people think because of a character that Pablo spends the whole show basically telling the story through, which is central casting for a alleged dirty gambler, shady snitch, informant, ringleader, Sugar Shane. Not Mosley, his name is. Let me see if I. Thank you, Sugar Shane Hennan is the name, and Amin is in the middle of this episode, and I'm hoping I could get him to break character in order to tell us more about what Pablo Torre is reporting. Thank you for taking off your effort.

[Amin Elhassan]

Let me switch hats.

[Stugats]

Yeah, hold on.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. Okay.

[Amin Elhassan]

There you go.

[Dan Le Batard]

All right.

[Amin Elhassan]

Hey, guys, Amin's here. What I miss?

[Dan Le Batard]

You're updating the Pablo Torre Finds out episode and what verb you would use to associate Tyron Liu to this story because his name was thrown into the mix 20 minutes in, Kevin Garnett's was, too. Even less adjacent than Tyron Liu. Just sort of in the vicinity, near the whiff, but not near any of the bad sewage stuff.

[Amin Elhassan]

I think part of what turns up the heat is because of Pablo's other ongoing investigation into the Clippers. If Tyron Lue worked for the Milwaukee Bucks or for the San Antonio spurs and his name came up here, I think it would be. You'd have the same feeling that you did about Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce and all those other guys who have played in some of these card games. But I think it's because he's with the Clippers, and we know how much work we've done about the Clippers in the last couple of months. It feels like the heat has ratcheted up a number of notches.

[Dave Damashek]

Kevin Garnett, thin ass.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's a good one from you.

[Dave Damashek]

I mean, he's also skinny. How's that one good? And the other ones weren't.

[Zaslow]

They're all skinny.

[Tony]

You know, when you know you Know when you knowing KG is a good thing.

[Dave Damashek]

I'm gonna find a fat guy with a thin ass.

[Stugats]

Thin asses onto the compo.

[Tony]

He's back.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't have much of an ass. That's true. I'm fairly assless.

[Dave Damashek]

Me too. I'm a big guy. My wife always says no ass.

[Amin Elhassan]

I, I've always, I've always.

[Dave Damashek]

No, she, no, no, she does say cute little butt.

[Zaslow]

She always says that.

[Dave Damashek]

She says cute little butt which means like that's what it means.

[Dan Le Batard]

I get sixth grade ass. But. Yeah, but you, when you say your wife always says no ass, that has a double meaning. That takes me to a story that Zaz had last night. Because Jeremy, I should talk about the World Series. I should talk about the fact that Trey Savage did something that only he has done before. According to Optistats, there have been two games in major league postseason history where a pitcher has struck out 10 plus batters, struck out five consecutive batters, struck out 50% of the batters he's faced, allowed fewer than five base runners and earned the win. Both times it was Trey, you, Savage who was doing things that like only Sandy Koufax has done in a World Series. And the first four Dodger hitters, that's a top three offense. The Dodgers have top three in all of baseball. The first four Dodger hitters last night, that's Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddy Freeman, Will Smith, they went a combined one for 15 with eight strikeouts, eight strikeouts. And Jeremy has spent the entire evening.

[Chris Ryan]

And only made $57,204 this season. There are only two pitchers ever with 10.

[Dan Le Batard]

Keep fading him in and out. He's been doing that since last night. Just nonstop talking about what Trey Savage did. So we should be talking about that baseball game, Dan.

[Amin Elhassan]

Jeremy Tash's pitch clock has run out and you can bet on it.

[Chris Ryan]

Well, no pitch clock, 16 strikeouts in that regular season. There are only four pitchers ever with 11 strikeouts in a World Series game. In the last.

[Dan Le Batard]

Pitch clock is later in the show. It hasn't run out. You got to work on the impersonation having some range. He's got to make at least some sense if he's going to be stiff and cross eyed. Pitch clock is later in the show. It hasn't run out. It's going to be later in today's show. Why would you say that it's run out?

[Amin Elhassan]

I guess I need to single Dodger.

[Chris Ryan]

And there are only three pitchers ever who have struck out every single player in a starting lineup. Randy Johnson.

[Amin Elhassan]

The listeners know what I mean, Dan. And you can bet on that.

[Dan Le Batard]

Zaslo last night couldn't be a part of the lives live stream. And what is it that you texted Jeremy when he asked you to be a part of his live stream last night?

[Zaslow]

Yeah, Jeremy, like, it was. It was very aggressive. He just. No communication. He just. He text me a link. Just the link shows up and it says you could join with an exclamation point. Like it was. There was no work up to that. It's just like, well, but.

[Dan Le Batard]

But you said to him, I'm trying to get laid.

[Zaslow]

Yeah, well, then I wrote back to. I go, I'm trying to get laid over here, player.

[Stugats]

That's a good out.

[Dave Damashek]

Like, that's a good excuse.

[Dan Le Batard]

Did you.

[Zaslow]

No.

[Tony]

Should have joined.

[Zaslow]

I mean the. The emphasis on trying. And it didn't work. I got. I gotta work on my game was lacking last night.

[Dave Damashek]

It was a Wednesday. It's not a sex night.

[Zaslow]

But you see, my wife was in Argentina for like the last 10 days. I'm leaving for the weekend for Jacksonville tomorrow. So I understand, like, it's Wednesday. Get it in when you can get it in, Dan.

[Dave Damashek]

And ironically, hump day, not a sex.

[Zaslow]

Day, didn't work last night.

[Dan Le Batard]

So your wife also saying no, that's.

[Dave Damashek]

Just when I'm with her though Wednesday. So who needs that?

[Stugats]

I think every night is a sex night.

[Dan Le Batard]

Then in my book at Lebatard show, is Wednesday night a sex night?

[Zaslow]

Not in the Zaslow Mansion.

[Dave Damashek]

Is Zaz like Ray Romano in Everybody Loves Raymond. I've always struck by that show that he has to beg his own wife to bed down with him as though it's a phrase for somebody.

[Tony]

There's a lot of things that Dave says and phrases that I don't like. I just want to be honest with him.

[Dan Le Batard]

But I don't think that's a phrase. Bed down with him. Either get down with him or you go to bed with him. I don't think you bed down with him.

[Zaslow]

Trying to bed down tonight, Dan.

[Amin Elhassan]

And you can bet on that.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put it on the poll. At Lebatard show. Does anybody use the phrase to bed down to refer to having sex? Because it's not something that I have heard at all.

[Dave Damashek]

Sipowitz, in his old copy NYPD Blue. NYPD Blue, he once said, did you have sex on that? Boy, I always remember that one. Have sex on is a good one.

[Amin Elhassan]

Sipowitz. Slim ass for a fat guy.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's a great reference.

[Zaslow]

Remember? That was a huge deal. NYPD Blue was the first time ever on network television that there was gonna be nudity. So everyone was tuning in. And what was the nudity we got in that episode?

[Stugats]

We got Sipowitz's ass in the shower.

[Zaslow]

That was it. That's. That's called a tease, Dan.

[Amin Elhassan]

ABC's television lineup was blue that night.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put it on the poll, please, at LeBatard show, because Tony has no idea what we're talking about here. But, Tony, when I tell you that network television created a ruckus throughout America where people were calling their local networks, saying, that's inappropriate. The first ass. Human ass shown on network television.

[Tony]

Some fat guy.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes. Dennis Sipowicz in the shower.

[Zaslow]

No, Andy. Andy Sipowitz.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, I'm sorry.

[Zaslow]

Dennis Franz was the actor.

[Dan Le Batard]

Thank you. Thank you. That's an excellent correction. We have found an incredible.

[Zaslow]

That was my show.

[Dan Le Batard]

An incredible ZAZ wheelhouse. But, yes, it was a huge American scandal that on network television, the first ass shown was of a frumpy, frumpy fat guy.

[Tony]

Really? And everybody got upset about that.

[Dan Le Batard]

There was. There was, you know, there was a. A repressed America reacted with great outrage that that was the ass shown for the first time on network television.

[Amin Elhassan]

I think part of the problem is that Tony doesn't know what Andy Sipowitz looks like. If you saw him, it would. Homer.

[Dan Le Batard]

Homer.

[Tony]

Let me take a look.

[Amin Elhassan]

Yeah.

[Zaslow]

Well, yeah, look up Dennis Franz Candelaria.

[Chris Ryan]

And himself in the alds. So he's the third youngest pitcher, but that's only because he's also the second youngest pitcher to be able to do. And he has this release point that's up here.

[Dan Le Batard]

None of you want to talk about the World Series, right? I'm looking at a room full of people here, crowded, who have sports opin. And I don't believe that any of you want to talk baseball.

[Dave Damashek]

I do. And I understand that the Jays are a story and a great one. Vlad Guerrero on down. But to me, the big takeaway here is the Dodgers are one loss away from being the Atlanta Braves. But worse. Oh, there he is. Sipowitz.

[Tony]

That looks like Stavi in 20 years.

[Dan Le Batard]

It does.

[Stugats]

Holy God.

[Zaslow]

Great call.

[Dan Le Batard]

That is a great call by Tony.

[Tony]

You just told me Stavi's. You saw Stavi's ass?

[Stugats]

I was like, oh, okay. Bump the Raiders. Yo, Ravens.

[Zaslow]

Flocko.

Don LeBatard I ain't never met nobody in the world that's gonna hate on great nomination. Like who don't like Blues Clues? Bruh, if you don't like Blues Clues, you're a loser. Stugats. Look, you get one paw print. That's the first clue. You put it in a notebook. Now what do you do? Blues Clues. Blues Clues.

[Dave Damashek]

Sit on the chair and think about it.

[Stugats]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugach.

[Dan Le Batard]

Tonight we've got the the Ravens and the Dolphins. The Ravens line keeps going up. The Ravens are now at minus 8 tonight. I heard on the way in that in Ravens games and Dolphins games this year because the defenses are so bad, 87% of the time the over has come in in those games because the defenses are so terrible. And Zaslo is here saying that the more interesting game tonight this is. This has to be regionally. It's more interesting. Yeah, because I think the nation wants to see Lamar Jackson come back. Everybody's saying this week, all of a sudden I'm hearing everyone saying that your beloved Steelers, Dave, are going to give up. They're going to cough up the division to the Ravens who had it there, who just gave it away to them at the beginning.

[Dave Damashek]

One 60 minute stretch may define the Steelers season. The loss at Cincy to decrepit Joe Flacco and company was a grim one. They could have been 51 and a full four games ahead of the Ravens. Even though there's a third of the season that would be a tall mountain for Lamar and company to overcome. As it is now, the Steelers are falling apart. Colts this weekend, then at the Chargers. They still have to play the Bills. They have to play the Ravens twice. I am not optimistic as a Steelers.

[Chris Ryan]

Splitters that were low in the way and the reason I kept saying it over and over again, you got to miss up and down. You got to mix in and out and that's how you attack the Dodgers.

[Amin Elhassan]

Dan, to be Fair to zaz. It is a sneaky good NBA night, right? Because spurs vs Heat at on first blush people say, oh, that's boring. I don't know. But obviously Weyama has been playing great and the Heat have been the best offense in the NBA and so there's something there. It's a great game that's going to be on league pass. Meanwhile on NBA tv you got warriors versus Bucks. Big game, huge game. What are you talking. Come on, two MVPs.

[Zaslow]

Oh wait, hold on a second, hold on a second. Warriors, Bucks, Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, Giannis Antetokounmpo.

[Dan Le Batard]

Don't we have imaging for this big game or not big game? Don't we have game?

[Stugats]

Not a big game.

[Zaslow]

The warriors are four in one, the Bucks are three and one. Something's gotta give. That's a big game.

[Stugats]

That's a big game. Big game.

[Zaslow]

That's a big game.

[Dan Le Batard]

D' Meshek said that the Steelers are falling apart. Do you mean physically or just architecturally? Because one of the interesting things halfway through the season, the Dolphins are super hurt. They've got a lot of injuries on top of everything else. But one of my favorite things in the middle of the season as people fall apart, as teams fall apart and human beings fall apart, fall apart. Next thing you know you're looking up and the Broncos need some help to get to the top of the division and catch the Chiefs. And how are they going to do it with 41 year old Mercedes Lewis? He's. He's still doing it. No, he's back. He is back for, for one more job. He, he, Mercedes Lewis at 41 years old carrying around a machine that I imagine has IVs, a dialysis machine running through your secondary.

[Tony]

Still block one guy with a hand.

[Dan Le Batard]

And absolutely get open for a six yard button hook like he will Knicks like Mercedes Lewis is how the Denver Broncos are going to chase down the Chiefs at the top of the division even though they're ahead of the division. Put it on the poll at Lebanon show. Do the Broncos have to chase down the Chiefs even though the Chiefs are behind?

[Tony]

Yeah, architecturally it makes sense.

[Chris Ryan]

Ultimately when you see that slider, right, with right handed batters, he's going to go low and away with it. It's going to get them lunging, but that's when he busts up and in and then he attacks him with a splitter, right?

[Tony]

So if you want me to be honest, Ohtani trying to swing for the fences every pisses me off, Dan. And I don't Want to hear anything? I don't want to even see. Talk about thin ass on a fat guy. Alejandro Kirk. I don't want to see that guy ever again. Okay? Tired of Alejandro Kirk. Oh, he's so cool. He's a frumpy little guy. He's a cat. No. Guy sucks. Get him out of here.

[Dan Le Batard]

What happened? Like, why are you so mad at Alejandro?

[Tony]

I'm a Dodgers guy, Dan. You know that. And it's pissing me off the way that every single player tries to swing for the fences with Trader Savage throwing a splitter that drops six feet.

[Zaslow]

I'll tell you what I'm tired of. Of last night. I'm waiting for the game to start. So I got. I got the Cavs and Celtics on the small TV in the Zaslow mansion family room. And on the big tv, I got the World Series pregame. You'd probably be saying, why don't I have it the other way around? Why don't I have the actual game going on in the pregame of the small tv? I didn't want to have to change the tv. So I'm just like, I'm getting set.

[Dave Damashek]

Smart move.

[Zaslow]

I'm getting ready. So it's. Let's just. Let's just put the pregame on the big tv. And I'm. I'm tired of this Derek Jeter. Boy, he sucks.

[Dave Damashek]

This is. This is how Zaz sets the mood for love.

[Zaslow]

That's right.

[Dave Damashek]

I got that on the little screen, right? Come in here, sugar.

[Zaslow]

The only thing missing was me announces my wife that Monday Night Raw is on Cody Rhodes. You know, she loves when I do that.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay?

[Zaslow]

But this Derek, Dan. I turn on the pregame, and right away I get this Derek Jeter.

[Dan Le Batard]

He sucks.

[Zaslow]

And straight up just says, blake Snell is definitely gonna be incredible tonight.

[Stugats]

Like, how could you say that?

[Zaslow]

He's like, I get it. Blake Snell's really good. You're facing there, the American League championship here.

[Chris Ryan]

How is he?

[Zaslow]

Definitely going to be really good. And guess what? The first two battles of the game. Home run.

[Dan Le Batard]

That. That part was amazing. At three pitches into the game, he'd given up two solo shots. And I was listening. I'm listening to Boog Shambi on the radio, and these are the stats that he gives that Blake Snell's strikeout rate is better than Bob Gibson's. Like, it's number one. And also, in 48% of his games, he either gives up zero runs or one run.

[Stugats]

Run.

[Dan Le Batard]

First pitch, one run, third pitch, two runs. That's. That's got to be the first time that's ever happened in the history of the sport.

[Stugats]

I got a question. I'm new to baseball, admittedly, but looking at the game last night, does Blake Snail look like Kenny Powers to y', all, or is it just me?

[Tony]

He's a thin. He's like Kenny Powers on oic.

[Stugats]

I saw Cujine.

[Dave Damashek]

I saw Cine.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's a good call.

[Zaslow]

Everything cheater says, he's wrong.

[Dan Le Batard]

Like.

[Dave Damashek]

Like.

[Stugats]

Stop.

[Dan Le Batard]

No.

[Zaslow]

No one cares about your predictions. And if you're gonna give predictions, get it right once in a while.

[Chris Ryan]

Extension out. Full extension out. That's what Trey Savage is doing, right? You get that split finger grip, and that's why Shohei Otani's leaning out in front.

[Tony]

All he does is lean out in front, buddy. He's gonna throw the split. It's gonna drop like a. Like a. Like a trap door. What are you doing?

[Dan Le Batard]

Speaking of Derek Jeter and getting things wrong, he did say after Yamamoto pitched a complete game that he definitely wasn't going to pitch another complete game. And then Y Moto then did indeed pitch another complete.

[Dave Damashek]

Take care.

[Dan Le Batard]

Brush your hair, Juju. I've got to. I understand why you're doing that, but that is way too narrow an ass to be Kenny Powers.

[Dave Damashek]

Sick brother Kenny Powers.

[Dan Le Batard]

Lenny Powers put it on the poll at Levittart show. Does Blake's now look like Kenny Powers is sick younger brother Lenny Powers at. At Levittard show.

[Dave Damashek]

He's chinless. Yeah, he's not at all comparable. I disagree with you, though, Zaz, on Blake Snell having a bad outing. I mean, yes, the two go balls to start the game were bad, but he went 116 pitches against the American League champs.

[Zaslow]

Jeter said he was gonna throw a gem.

[Dave Damashek]

You're mad at Jeter, not Snow, right?

[Zaslow]

Right. Snow was line. You can't. You can't announce that a pitcher is going to throw a gem and the first two batters go yard.

[Dan Le Batard]

First three pitches, two home runs. This one's confusing. Danishek. That was such a good correction. And yet you lose. Zaslo is correct. Well, it can never be a gem if three pitches in, you've allowed two. Two baseballs to Shay.

[Dave Damashek]

Touche. But it also deserves the asterisk of the curse of supposed to, which is what Blake Snell and the Dodgers are carrying on their shoulders. On top of, they are supposed to win this one. And it's not just this series. It is this era. And they are. Like I was saying a few minutes ago before Sipowitz interrupted me. Sipowitz's skinny ass or otherwise. Stay focused. Damn, Shaq.

[Zaslow]

Seminal moment in TV history, Dave.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah.

[Dave Damashek]

You know, the Dodgers are about to become the Atlanta Braves, and I think America at large is going to be happy about it. I mean, they have two titles versus the Braves having the one. But. But the COVID one only counts for half.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, I'd be careful with that, just given that it's Yamamoto in Game 6 and then Ohtani in Game 7. And in Game 7, the Blue Jays are going to throw Scherzer out there throwing 92 miles an hour. That is not who you want to be your game seven starter. How old is Scherzer? Is Scherzer as old as Mercedes Lewis? I think he is as old.

[Dave Damashek]

Older.

[Dan Le Batard]

I think he's 41 years old as well.

[Zaslow]

Will it be Otani, game seven? We know that.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, I'm assuming so.

[Amin Elhassan]

I thought Ohtani was going to be in the bullpen for six and seven.

[Dave Damashek]

Sampson said last night that it would be Glass now.

[Zaslow]

Now, in game seven, Ohtani will be.

[Tony]

Ready available Game seven.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, but still. Okay, if it's Glass now. I mean, Glass now is also an ace.

[Chris Ryan]

Like, nice correction for Dan, who clearly doesn't know what he's talking about because you have a guy in Blake Snell who looks like the only person in the world ever named Snell. And why is he throwing fastballs early in the game? You got an ever aggressive Blue Jays team. They jump on for.

[Dave Damashek]

He's going after you.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, well, that's the other thing. I tune into his broadcast last night, and the first thing he's doing is trying to be busy questioning all of Blake Snell's technique and strategy when he's a two time Cy Young winner. And Jeremy's out here saying, well, you got to throw that fastball in a different place. Well, yeah, probably. Yeah, probably. That's probably what the splitter is a trapdoor.

[Stugats]

Dana falls.

[Chris Ryan]

Ultimate aggressive team in the Toronto Blue Jays. They led the league in hitting for a reason.

[Dave Damashek]

They jump on that first, the video team thinks he looks like Nick Wright.

[Dan Le Batard]

While all of you are here, can I. Can I get the bucket in play? Because we've got a crowded show today. David Sampson's gonna be on with us. Pablo Torre is going to be on with us. Jessica Smitt is going to be on with us. And all of us here are going to be at the Miller Light Watch party tonight in Kendall. It's a block party. It's a costume party. It is the Dolphins against Baltimore in a game that I suspect only has a regional interest here that is real super thin because I don't expect much of anything from the Dolphins this season and to be more than a touchdown underdog at home, I don't expect much from them tonight either.

[Tony]

Danny, you said it. We're throwing a Miller Light watch party for Thursday Night football. Dolphins Ravens at the Flanagans in Kendall, my home. Flanagans. By the by the way, Kendall Drive and 127th Ave. Join us tonight for Halloween block party. Costumes encouraged. Come hang out with the crew. Dan, Chris Roy, Tony, Jeremy Amin, Juju, Dave, Damaschek and more. Party starts at 6, kickoff at 8:15 and don't miss flames against 1500 dollars costume contents it's Miller Time. Presented by Miller Time. Maybe we'll have a special guest appearance by Cash Patel to Cash Patel.

[Dan Le Batard]

Just distracted your read there by putting.

[Tony]

The thing is his jacket is very plastic, right? And it's like I hear the rustling and then my senses I got to like do like a chameleon thing where I split my eyes and look the other way.

[Zaslow]

That's how you know the FBI is coming.

[Stugats]

They got them whimbring exactly right.

[Dan Le Batard]

Did put it on the poll at LeBatard show. Is that how you know the FBI is coming? They've got them Windbreakers get nutty with.

[Dave Damashek]

Don LeBatard it sounds to me like.

[Chris Ryan]

Everybody could use a hug, because a.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hug is always the right size stuff.

[Stugats]

All I have put in my body today is three cups of coffee and.

[Dan Le Batard]

An entire cup of go to the pedal box.

[Dave Damashek]

Don't let him fool you. He said in the break that he's jittery.

[Stugats]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the stugats.

[Dan Le Batard]

Tony, did you listen? Did you listen to Pablo Torre finds out?

[Tony]

Because I found out. Pablo Tori finds out. Tony finds out. I got something for Paul B. Torre later on.

[Dan Le Batard]

You do?

[Tony]

Oh, yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Do you want to give anything to the audience in the way of a tease on this episode? Because Amina Amin is starring in this episode. Amin, who is doing a lot of role playing throughout Meadowlark Media. He looked like a poker. Poker player. He was dressed a bit like Chris Moneymaker in terms of trying to put the sunglasses on and. And trying to give off the appearance that he was in a rigged card game. What can you tell us about the episode, Tony? How much of it did you absorb and retain?

[Tony]

The entire thing. So obviously the. The episode centers around this guy Sugar Shane, who is kind of what Pablo's painting, maybe the architect of some of the things that are going on. Right. But there's a lot of callbacks to former episodes where there was stuff with the Johnte Porter Group chat, so the Malik Beasley story in July. So with all this together, right, Tyrone Lue is mentioned, KG is mentioned, but the entire show basically is framed around this guy Sugar Shane, allegedly, allegedly, who's allegedly maybe taking a plea deal, but then also maybe also pleading not guilty. Like, there's a couple of things going on, but the one thing that I know for sure is that I've realized what Pablo's game is. I get his game now. Get sources. He gets people this and that.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is again, again, by the way. This is again months of investigation. This is more than 20 sources. This is thousands of documents again.

[Tony]

And I found out who one of his sources is. I know it from listening. I can tell, oh, I know what's going on here. I know Pablo's game.

[Dan Le Batard]

You got to be careful with that, you got to protect Pablo source for sure.

[Tony]

And I'm going to protect him, but I just. I want him to know I know.

[Dave Damashek]

I know who it is.

[Tony]

I know who it is. It took me 30 seconds of investigation. So think about it. It took you months and thousands of documents and people and 900 people you talked to. I found out two seconds in.

[Amin Elhassan]

I like the idea of Tony finds out, takes 30 seconds of an investigation. Just give him 30 seconds, he's gonna find out something.

[Tony]

I just need to hear a couple things.

[Chris Ryan]

Beam. Beam. Beam.

[Tony]

All right, I know who it is.

[Amin Elhassan]

But, Dan, to the point of the episode, this character, Shane Hennan. Astute listeners will remember back in July when we were talking about Malik Beasley and the John Tay Porter text messages. As Tony mentioned, Shane Hannon was a central figure in all of this, Right? And so as you look at the indictments that came down, there were three different ones, right? One was Operation Nothing but bet. One was Operation Royal Flush. Nothing But Bet, centered around two different groups of people. The only connective tissue through all of that was Shane Hennan. And so we've been doing months of investigation on him, digging deep into his social media posts, which is great, by the way. And we had our hands on some documents that were public, right. I know Pat, 40, came out with something late last night that had a lot of similar material, but we got some documents that weren't public. And again, Dan, this is the thing. When I do these Pablo episodes, I have an idea. I definitely in this one a lot more than the quiet one, because I've contributed to some of the research and the findings, but they always come with some stuff. I'm like, you had this, you found this, Tony. How about the part where the Miami Heat factored in?

[Tony]

Dano, if you zoom in and clarify.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, don't. Hold on, don't. I Saw it is nice storytelling. And he's doing a futuristic kind of journalism with Amazon's basketball coverage. Old fashioned journalism principles. And so he's telling nice and funny stories. But don't give away too much here.

[Amin Elhassan]

We're not gonna give it away, but I'm just saying there is something fun where in the middle of these episodes, I feel like I'm in a movie. All the President's Men or whatever. It's like, wait a second, let me see that picture again. Enhance, enhance, enhance again.

[Tony]

Clarify it.

[Amin Elhassan]

Do we have another angle? And they're like, my God, it's an amazing reveal. And it's again, the fruit of months and months of research.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay, and amazing reveals are part of what Pablo does. But I think I am with Tony finds out. And the 32nd episode of Pablo's fallen in love with that voice distortion. He's fallen in love with the shadowy pixelation. And he did it to somebody that I believe I've heard tell that story without pixelation or without this is not Dan finds out.

[Tony]

This is not Dan finds out.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't know. I'm not my boy Cook.

[Amin Elhassan]

Kind of sounds like you're finding out.

[Dan Le Batard]

I have not found out.

[Tony]

You found out because I told you.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm theorizing about what you found out.

[Dave Damashek]

I also thought it was that guy too.

[Stugats]

Whoa.

[Tony]

Not Chris finds out. This is not Chris finds out.

[Amin Elhassan]

Finds out. Chris Tan finds out. It's like 10 seconds long. And then Chris finds out. It's like two seconds.

[Dave Damashek]

I just saw the distorted sound. I'm like, oh, I've seen that guy tell that story.

[Amin Elhassan]

This is like that scene in there. Something about Mary. Was it five minute abs? Like that's great until someone comes out with four minute abs. No, wait.

[Stugats]

No, no.

[Amin Elhassan]

It's five minute abs.

[Chris Ryan]

When I saw the batters, they faced fewer than five base runners and a win both of those postseason games. Trey Yasavage, he's just a 12th pitcher ever with 12 strikeouts in a World Series game.

[Dan Le Batard]

When I saw the modulation, my immediate thought was, wait a minute. I think Pablo is doing this to people who aren't asking for anonymity because he just likes doing it.

[Tony]

That guy has spoken a couple times and I don't think he's.

[Dan Le Batard]

Maybe that guy wants to be again.

[Tony]

What I found out. I don't think that guy wants to be muzzled.

[Dan Le Batard]

Dan, we're not sure we're going to go to the Bucket with everyone here. Anyone who is here on a Thursday has to go to the dentist Tech Bucket. We have all of the games. Damoshek has never been to the Bucket.

[Zaslow]

That day to be here. Dave.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, juju has rarely been to the Bucket, but we are now all going to the Dentek Bucket. I will tell you guys again, when it comes to teeth grinding, if you are having trouble with Your jaw or TMJ, DenTek helps with that. This mouth guard, if you sleep with it and you use it correctly, will help you. What are you shaking your head?

[Stugats]

Knowing Dan, he had picked.

[Tony]

Yeah, he picked something out of bucket before you said go, so it doesn't count.

[Amin Elhassan]

Cheater.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay. Why aren't you guys legislating this?

[Chris Ryan]

I did.

[Tony]

That's why I had to wave.

[Chris Ryan]

You Off.

[Dan Le Batard]

You gotta keep an eye on damage.

[Tony]

He was also looking in the bucket. Another.

[Stugats]

No.

[Tony]

No.

[Dan Le Batard]

He's a known cheater.

[Stugats]

How dare you?

[Juju]

How dare you, sir.

[Stugats]

How dare you?

[Tony]

You're trying to bed the bucket.

[Stugats]

I saw it. Leveling accusations against me with.

[Juju]

Will not stand, sir.

[Tony]

You put your hand in there.

[Zaslow]

You don't look.

[Stugats]

Excuse me. Good sir. I will not stand for this. I will not be ensnared in your accusation.

[Dave Damashek]

You are standing.

[Stugats]

Can I now take one?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes.

[Dave Damashek]

The bucket is presented by Dentech's ultimate fantasy football punchline.

[Stugats]

I got the exact same one I took out beforehand. The Kansas City Chiefs.

[Dave Damashek]

Learn more and sign up your [e-mail].

[Dan Le Batard]

They'Re a two and a half point favorite at Buffalo. That line keeps going up in favor of Kansas City. Are you taking them or are you going to put it back and try and get a better.

[Dave Damashek]

I am going to take the Kansas City Chiefs to cover against the Buffalo Bills. All right. On to juju.

[Dan Le Batard]

Josh Allen has beaten them a lot in the regular season.

[Amin Elhassan]

Right?

[Dan Le Batard]

He just never beats them in the postseason.

[Stugats]

Don't bet on it. John Deno. I got the New York Giants.

[Dave Damashek]

The New York Football Giants are 2 1/2 point underdogs at home against the Niners.

[Stugats]

No scalable. No picking. The zeppelin helmet.

[Dave Damashek]

Wow.

[Tony]

Scott will show you the line.

[Stugats]

I got the Raiders.

[Dave Damashek]

The Raiders.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm sorry. They're a three and a half point dog at home against Jacksonville.

[Stugats]

I don't think that's that bad. That's a lot of dog. Dino.

[Dave Damashek]

If you're gonna get the Raiders, it's a decent spot.

[Dan Le Batard]

Dead dog. Tony. That's the Raiders.

[Stugats]

Tell me about it. They both are dead dogs.

[Tony]

Daniel. I got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a bye week.

[Stugats]

Yep, you got a bye.

[Tony]

I'm undefeated this year.

[Dan Le Batard]

Kash Patel, it is your turn to reach into the bucket. Go ahead. Stay in character. You got to keep your eyes crossed. You're not keeping your eyes crossed.

[Stugats]

Sometimes it's hard to see the truth. I got Dub Bears.

[Dan Le Batard]

The Chicago Bears are on the road at Cincinnati. There are three and a half point 50 favorite.

[Amin Elhassan]

I'm putting it back in the bucket.

[Dave Damashek]

Really?

[Dan Le Batard]

Wow.

[Dave Damashek]

Scared of Joe Flacco.

[Amin Elhassan]

I can't bear to bet against Flo. And you can bet on it.

[Tony]

Flo.

[Dan Le Batard]

Joe Flacco.

[Dave Damashek]

Probably going to be Jake Browning.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, Jake. Joe Flacco is a big maybe.

[Amin Elhassan]

Oh, wow. No, they tell me. Damn it.

[Stugats]

I got the Niners.

[Dave Damashek]

Oh, their favorite McCorkle at the Giants. Two and a half point five favorite. All right, here we go, Tony.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's good analysis. Just shouting McCork.

[Stugats]

Just got to know. I got the Colts.

[Dave Damashek]

That feels like a good one. Only three and a half point favorites at the Steelers. That damage check, Steel. I'm keeping the Colts.

[Stugats]

Yeah, Good move.

[Dave Damashek]

This is the kind of game that Tomlin does win. That keeps them in play for 9 and 8, 10 and 7. This is the. This is a Tomlin. I was looking at them for survivor this week. I'm like, nah, nah. The Steelers could do it.

[Tony]

This is the game that Aaron Rodgers loses, though.

[Stugats]

All right, let's do it. All right.

[Dave Damashek]

Zaz is up.

[Stugats]

I got the Browns.

[Amin Elhassan]

Woof.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm sorry.

[Tony]

On a buy.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, nice. Congratulations.

[Tony]

Well, you want to swap with me?

[Stugats]

Swap buys? No, I don't want to swap.

[Tony]

Why not?

[Dan Le Batard]

Why are you swapping?

[Stugats]

You technically can't swap.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're not allowed to just swap like that. That's the Vikings. I got. Do I want the vikings?

[Dave Damashek]

Vikings. Arkansas, 9 1/2 point underdog at the Lions. Keep him.

[Stugats]

Bad pick, Daniel.

[Dan Le Batard]

Thank you, Tony. I got the Bengals. I'm gonna lose every year.

[Dave Damashek]

You love costumes, though.

[Dan Le Batard]

Every week. No, I don't love wearing the costume. They give me a headache. And then juju accuses me of being tone deaf.

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

[Chris Ryan]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

What are you doing here?

Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Well, I do know that to be true. But even during AD reads like Cuervo, I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

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

Cuervo.

So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo.

Cuervo.

The tequila that invented tequila.

[Tony]

Broximo.

[Dan Le Batard]

Cuervo. Com. Please drink responsibly.

Cuervo.
