Transcript

[Dan Le Batard]

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo, what are you doing here?

[Stugotz]

Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

[Dan Le Batard]

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.

[Stugotz]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

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

[Stugotz]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

So enjoy the tequila that started it all.

[Juju Gotti]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

Cuervo the tequila that invented tequila. Proximo Cuervo.com Please drink responsibly.

[Stugotz]

Cuervo. Juju Gotti is with us. We're going to update the polls here in a second. Where are we starting juju? What do you want to start with?

[Juju Gotti]

We've got some big news in the WNBA today. They've announced that they're going to be having a Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia expansion teams starting 2028 and that's already after Toronto gets the as well as another team next year. So the WNBA is growing and growing. Congratulations to the W Juju.

[Dan Le Batard]

There are rumors that they're going to reignite some old team names and branding because Cleveland and Detroit had teams famously the Shock in Detroit. I saw an article a couple months ago saying that they tried to get those trademarks back. Is that the whispers that we're going to see the return of some legacy brands?

[Stugotz]

Portland's the other one along with Torino.

[Juju Gotti]

Yeah, absolutely. The legacies are back. I got a Shock jersey right here. I'm going to dismantle the Wal, but yeah, wishful thinking. Salute to the Shock. Welcome back. I think that with as much talent that that that comes out of the high schools and the colleges every single year. Destiny Harden still out there without a team. A lot of big names, great players within the the the actual ncaa. This will provide them a great opportunity to be professionals and I can't wait for it to happen.

[Stugotz]

Cody, have you followed the Ace Bailey story at all in the NBA? What have you enjoyed about the Ace? It doesn't happen a whole lot in the draft where you've got somebody who's an anarchist.

[Chris Cody]

I've enjoyed the complete pivot, the complete and predictable pivot he's made from. I don't want to go there. It's the last place on earth I wanted to go to. I'm embracing it. Nobody's looking forward to playing there more than I am. That's what I've enjoyed Right.

[Juju Gotti]

What can you say? His. His. His agent was having. He had a rough week. Some of his old memes and some of his old videos looking like a big boss came back to bite him. So I thing for Ace Bailey to do right now. Report to camp, show them folks what you got and be who you've been the entire time we've known you. A Hooper.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah. I am interested though in any possible carryover here. Like is Ace Bailey all of a sudden a guy who has to sort of win over the home crowd or do they just forget about him not wanting to go there and now acting like this is the place he wants to be?

[Stugotz]

Everyone will get very forgetful as soon as he plays well. Or if he doesn't play well, then they will never forget. They will hold on to forever and they will hate him with a rabid fury that is unending. Yes, but none of this will matter if he plays well.

[Chris Cody]

Correct.

[Stugotz]

It's important for that part. What are your thoughts on Billy seeing over the weekend that the Freeze is a little bit more beatable than he thought the Freeze was? The Freeze got smoked by a woman this weekend.

[Juju Gotti]

Yeah, I think Billy laid down the blueprint. I feel like he got on the airwaves and said, hey, the secret to beating the Freeze is give out a little. Little something something for the Freeze and then turn on your jets. Whenever he turns on his first jet and you will be out of here. I think my sister, listen to Billy the Duke drop the dookie bomb on the lady.

[Chris Cody]

Dan. Failure to plan is planning to fail.

[Stugotz]

Let's up some polls. Yeah, you mentioned that lady on that lady. Yes, we dropped the At Levitard show. Let's update some of these polls.

[Juju Gotti]

Are you really living if you're running? If you're not running away scared from the fireworks, 72% of the audience says no, you're not living. Yes.

[Stugotz]

A slow jog. Chris Cody said that the happiest time on fourth of July.

[Chris Cody]

That's when you feel like you're living juju.

[Dan Le Batard]

How do you feel about guy that's way too excited to purchase illegal fireworks? That's a big red flag, right? You know everything know about that person, right?

[Stugotz]

There is camera. There is video somewhere of me with a joke with arms filled with explosives leaving the fireworks.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, we're talking about. Mike's talking about the crazy people who get like me going to get the sad $50 pack from Publix. That's cool, right? I'm good.

[Juju Gotti]

I got two words for you. Pierre Paul. Yeah, neither here nor there. Are we raising a generation of children?

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, what?

[Chris Cody]

And some would say it's here and there.

[Juju Gotti]

Giants owner John Morrow and every today.

[Chris Cody]

Said he doesn't know how many fingers JPP has.

[Stugotz]

Here, here, hand there.

[Juju Gotti]

Are we raising a generation of children who don't know what a nickel looks like? 92 of the audience says, yes, we are. Last poll. Do you have to be close to the people getting married if you take your shirt off on the reception dance floor? 83 of the audience says, yes, you do. And those are your poles.
