Episode Overview

This episode of "The Big Suey" finds Dan Le Batard, Stugotz, and their crew at their chaotic, irreverent best, diving into sports, odd observations from daily life, pop-culture, and the intricacies of pouring the perfect beer. The centerpiece is a hilarious breakdown of Tony’s public gambling meltdown during a UFC fight—dubbed "Tony Crashes Out"—where his emotional rollercoaster becomes both spectacle and case study in sports fandom. The group also veers joyfully through pop-culture nostalgia (Looney Tunes, posters, bar culture), the logistics of beer foam, and the questionable lifehacks of teen smokers.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Weird Social Myths & Looney Tunes Logic

[01:42-04:52]

• Dan wonders why people equate sneezing with being cold, describing a sweaty Uber ride where the driver asked, “Is it too cold?” after Dan sneezed.

• Mike Ryan attributes strange beliefs to "Looney Tunes logic," noting, “They established tropes that stayed with a generation” (03:33).

• The crew riffs on cartoon physics, dismissing them as explanations for real-life mishaps and social conventions.

  "If I shoot you in the face, what happens?" — Dan Le Batard [03:38]
  "Sometimes the bullet doesn't come out. There's a flag that says 'bang.'" — Mike Ryan [03:44]

2. UFC Main Event Meltdown: “Tony Crashes Out”

[05:37-16:10]

Background

• The team discusses Tony and Louis's MMA Hangout stream during the big UFC fight weekend.
• Tony was heavily invested in DDP (Dricus Du Plessis), confident because of the odds and previous matchups.

Tony’s On-Air Descent

• Tony grows increasingly distraught as the championship fight becomes a lopsided wrestling clinic.

• Multiple quotes, escalating despair:

  "I cannot believe I’m—I'm the idiot. It’s me. I'm the idiot." — Tony [07:07]
  “I've seen this position for 17 minutes. There’s no way people are happy.” — Tony [08:00]
  “I'm gonna throw my headphones through the camera. This is insane.” — Tony [09:23]
  “Worst night of my life. Thanks, Mark.” — Tony [10:00, repeated]

• Mike Ryan and Dan tease out Tony’s emotional state, revealing his betting losses and the mechanics behind his (misplaced) confidence in DDP.

• Tony emphasizes that money changes the viewing experience:

  "The issue is when you've got a lot of money online, oh, that kind of skews the way that you want things to happen." — Tony [11:26]

Memorable Exchange

• Tony’s repeated “Worst night of my life” becomes a show meme, especially as others point out Tony is a two-time cancer survivor, which he concedes with dark comedic timing:

  "Two times in Tony's life he has been told he has cancer, but that was the worst night of his life." — Zaz [15:29] "Worst night of my life." — Tony [15:36]

3. Pop Culture Conversations: Alien Series, Bar Rescue, and Posters

[18:17-39:58]

New “Alien” Show on Hulu [18:17-19:41]

Bar Rescue Fandom—New Podcast Announcement! [20:13-24:13]

• Dan reveals a "Bar Rescue" rewatch podcast is coming from Count the Dings.
• The group affectionately mocks the show's jargon (POS system upgrades, Taffer-isms).
• "Taffer invented NFL Sunday Ticket and the butt funnel," jokes Zaz, as they riff on loose claims of invention.

The Great Beer-Foam Debate [24:27-34:42]

• The group tries to decipher John Taffer’s beer-pouring demonstrations (video shown to them by Billy).

• Roy claims, “If you pour it terribly and get a big head, you can drink more beers without feeling full.” [24:28]

• Skepticism abounds; Billy and Zaz are unconvinced by Taffer’s “science.” Dan suggests a studio experiment for proof.

  "Can you have double gas? Or you shake it once, is there more left in the tank?" — Tony [26:39]

• The team jokes about ordering beers “with a big head,” “medium head,” or “pour like a savage.”

• Mike insists personal experience (less bloat with a foamy pour) backs Taffer’s science:

  "This is not my mind playing tricks on me, guys." — Mike Ryan [33:15]

Teenage Anti-Snitch Tricks and Poster Talk [36:37-41:15]

• The crew reminisces about their iconic childhood/teen posters (Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Scarface, Jim Morrison, Jessica Simpson).
• Conversation turns to teen attempts at hiding weed use—towel under the door, paper towel/Febreze sploofs, etc.

  “The things that, as a teenager, you thought would fly…” — Dan Le Batard [40:35]

Transcript

[Mike Ryan]

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

[Dan Le Batard]

Cuervo.

[Mike Ryan]

What are you doing here?

[Dan Le Batard]

Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

[Mike Ryan]

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.

[Dan Le Batard]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

[Mike Ryan]

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

[Dan Le Batard]

Cuervo.

[Mike Ryan]

So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

Cuervo.

[Mike Ryan]

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

[Dan Le Batard]

Cuervo.

[Tony]

You say you'll never join the Navy, that living on a submarine would be too hard. You'd never power a whole ship with nuclear energy, Never bring a patient back to life or play the national anthem for a sold out crowd. Joining the Navy sounds crazy. Saying never actually is. Start your [e-mail] America's Navy forged by the sea.

[Dan Le Batard]

Welcome to the Big Suey, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBatard podcast. I'm sorry. I'm not gonna apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries that if they're there. That hasn't happened to you guys. I've done it. And now here's the marching man to nowhere Fat face and the habitual liar.

[Roy]

This episode is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why do people think that when you sneeze, it means you're cold?

[Roy]

I've never heard that.

[Dan Le Batard]

Happens all the time.

[Mike Ryan]

Looney Tunes.

[Dan Le Batard]

I was in. I was in Pepper in your nose.

[Roy]

Maybe you have a cold.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, no, no, no. I was in an Uber last night or yesterday on my way to the airport and I sneezed. And by the way, it was like a zillion degrees and the guy's AC was not working that great and he was.

[Zaz]

You use the function when you order the Uber where you could set the preference. I want it cold. I want it medium. Yeah, use that. Yeah, like and like also how quiet you want to go to you.

[Dan Le Batard]

I actually do it. Not usually. The temperature is fine. Most people like, very rarely do I have to let the person know you turn it up or turn it down.

[Zaz]

You ever have to let the person know. Yo, I. My preference was quiet.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're Talking quiet. That's the one. But, like, I have great passive aggressive ways of letting people know I don't want to talk.

[Zaz]

Like, what?

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, it's like I've got my headphones on, and I'm on my phone, and sometimes I'm not even listening to anything. It's just, I have headphones on.

[Roy]

You do the thing. Like, you are like, wait, what's that?

[Dan Le Batard]

What? Yeah, exactly. You're gonna have to repeat every question. So where you fly. What was that?

[Mike Ryan]

While the headphone, like, creeps back up to your ear to signify you're done talking. Once the headphone goes over the.

[Dan Le Batard]

I answered the question exactly.

[Mike Ryan]

I think people's nose runs sometimes when they're cold, which can lead to sneezing.

[Dan Le Batard]

I sneezed, and the guy was like, is it too cold? I'm like, I'm sweating. What are you talking about? Is it too col. What does that have to do with anything?

[Tony]

He's.

[Roy]

That guy's. He's alert to the situation. He's like, I want to.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, you okay?

[Roy]

That's just him. Like, oh, you sneezed. I do anything to help.

[Dan Le Batard]

It happens a lot.

[Mike Ryan]

You need a tissue?

[Dan Le Batard]

Sneeze? No, that's fine. Bless you. Is fine. Is it too cold as I'm sweating bullets? It just was such a weird thing. But then it made me realize that happens a lot. I sneeze, and someone says, oh, is it. Are you cold? Like, what does cold have to do with sneezing? And I think, Mike, you had the answer. Saloony tunes. It's Looney Tunes. It's everything we. Everything we learned was from Bugs Bunny.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

And that's it. Right.

[Mike Ryan]

They set up tropes. They established tropes that stayed with a generation for the remainder of its life.

[Dan Le Batard]

Mike, what happens if I shoot you in the face?

[Mike Ryan]

Well, sometimes.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. If I shoot you in the face, what happens?

[Mike Ryan]

Well, sometimes the bullet doesn't come out. There's a flag that says, bang.

[Dan Le Batard]

Bang.

[Billy]

I wouldn't go with the Looney Tunes defense on things like that. Like, oh, you know, I just crashed into someone with a car, but Wiley Coyote got right back up, so it's okay. Like, I don't. I wouldn't live my.

[Mike Ryan]

By Looney Tunes rules, Daffy Ducks Bill went backwards.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, the bill goes backwards. Or if I crash in the guy with a car, his. His mouth becomes an accordion. Yeah, that's. That's one. Right?

[Mike Ryan]

I think if they didn't. Well, in the Looney Tunes, they did overtly say people were drunk. But people would have the hiccups in cartoons.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, yeah.

[Tony]

Bottle.

[Mike Ryan]

And that became a trope.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yep.

[Mike Ryan]

I think we can thank Dumbo for that one, too.

[Dan Le Batard]

If we. If I run off a cliff, like, I fall immediately, right?

[Mike Ryan]

No, no, no. You don't fall immediately. You say you stay in the air, suspended for a little. And in the whistle. What if you're going down?

[Dan Le Batard]

What if I never notice that I've run off the cliff?

[Mike Ryan]

You can't. If you never notice, then you're fine.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're fine.

[Mike Ryan]

You can't give it the power of noticing, because once you do notice, you're gonna. Yeah, just keep on running.

[Dan Le Batard]

And, Roy, you point out the other part, which is I have to pull out a sign first to let everyone know.

[Tony]

Yep.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, man. We're in Looney Tunes back, man. We can't. It's all canceled, right? All that stuff is canceled.

[Mike Ryan]

No, they have new shows. They have a new show.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, but it's not like we used to be, man. Yeah, not like it used to be. Oh, those are the days.

[Mike Ryan]

So. The days of casual racism. Hack. Me versus Coyote.

[Dan Le Batard]

It wasn't casual. It wasn't casual at all. It was pretty active. You ever see, like, who. Thomas the Cat and Tom and Jerry, you know whose owner is Mammy Two Shoes?

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, no, that was the mate.

[Dan Le Batard]

But I mean, yes, you. She's the maid, but she's, in essence, the person in charge. Right. Thomas. Thomas.

[Mike Ryan]

Trivia night, Roy.

[Dan Le Batard]

Man, oh, man, I don't know what.

[Tony]

The hell, you guys.

[Dan Le Batard]

You know Tom and Jerry?

[Tony]

No, no, I do, but I don't know their.

[Roy]

That's where it ends for me, though, in terms of all these references.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. Mammy Two Shoes, you're just young. Oh, yeah, Mammy Two Shoes.

[Roy]

You're like two years older than me.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm not two years older than you. You 39 years old. I want to talk about. I want to talk about something that happened on the weekend because we have our. Our network out there watching all the content that we have, you know, and over the weekend, there was a big UFC fight.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Ddp that we were excited about. That's right. And Tony and Louis and the team, they brought you MMA Hangout.

[Dan Le Batard]

How'd it go?

[Zaz]

I checked in on that stream at one point. I don't know if you saw me.

[Tony]

How'd the stream go?

[Zaz]

I mean, I was just checking people commenting. They were having a good time. I saw one of them mention my son.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Zaz]

Yeah. I was checking you guys out.

[Mike Ryan]

Thank you.

[Dan Le Batard]

Awesome. Well, Tony, you had a Good weekend.

[Tony]

We had a great weekend until the main event, which then things got a little out of hand because there was the most thorough domination I've ever seen in any fight ever, possibly with the ground time being 22 minutes to 30 seconds. It was insane.

[Mike Ryan]

Cut word. Cut word that it was worth revisiting the latter portion of this weekend's MMA hangout, because Tony had very curious reactions to the main event that made someone believe that something more than just a simple prediction was at play. So we've established a super cut, if you will, of the. The main event over at the UFC over the weekend, and this was accurately described as Tony crashing out. And I've deduced what was going on here. But I'm curious. Your takeaway.

[Tony]

Family. This is not good, this fight. I cannot believe I'm. I'm the idiot. It's. It's me. I'm the idiot. Yeah, I'm the idiot. This is insane, dude. This is insane. This is insane. I don't think I've ever seen a champion fight this bad. A Just no answer. You know what I want you to do? Stuff his takedown attempt.

[Mike Ryan]

You know what? I want you to knee up.

[Dan Le Batard]

He has to get knees.

[Tony]

Exactly right? He shoots for a takedown, you meet his head to Michigan. How do I know that? Sitting on a desk in a bar in Little Havana, he's gonna try and climb and put you in a crucifix and waste three and a half minutes of you trying to get out of it, and you can't. Hey. All right, Here you go.

[Mike Ryan]

He's gonna set up.

[Tony]

He's gonna shoot. Are you ready? Because he's gonna shoot.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's too fast. Right to his back again. There we go. All right.

[Tony]

Hey, I've seen this. I've seen this position for 17 minutes. There's no way that people are happy. Damn. Dude. Gets up, gets back down. Oh, guess what? He's gonna go for the. For the crucifix again. Oh, guess what? He's got it again. Guess what? He's gonna get the knee in and get the crucifix again. Guess what. Ddp you crossing your legs like Lewis doesn't do anything.

[Dan Le Batard]

Doesn't do anything because that's what I was doing.

[Tony]

That's not offensive. Christ Almighty, and I love this song. If you want me to stay.

[Dan Le Batard]

I've actually never seen Tony crash out.

[Tony]

This is crazy, dude. This is insane. This is. Is this. Is this a nightmare? Finally. Next stop. Finally get him up. Guess what? He's gonna shoot again.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, my God. Back to the back. No, I can't. I can't. Guys.

[Tony]

It's officially cooked, dude. It's officially cooked. I don't ever want to see DDP fight Hamzat again. I never want to see it. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done.

[Dan Le Batard]

Have you eaten your food already?

[Tony]

Yes, I already ate my food. All right. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Hurry up. Let's go. Just get the fifth round over with. Dude, he's got zero shot. It's over. He should throw in the towel.

[Roy]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is probably the worst championship fight I've ever seen.

[Tony]

Throw in the towel. It's over. You cannot fight this guy. You cannot beat him. You cannot get off the ground. And I'm gonna throw my headphones through the camera. This is insane. Dude, don't hype up the crowd. Don't hype up the crowd. It's over. No high head kick, too. Just get knocked out. You better start throwing hard. And guess what? Here. If he gets that leg over, here's the crucifix. And there goes 4 minutes and 21 seconds. If you don't got it now, buddy, there's. And he's in a Kimura, too. He's going to submit you. The worst night of my life. Thanks, Mark. He's got no juice left. He's exhausted. He's fought 25 minutes of nothing. It doesn't matter. Nobody get excited. Nobody get excited. Can you submit his ass?

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's all he has.

[Tony]

Don't. Son of a. Turn off the stream. I'm done.

[Zaz]

Turn off the stream.

[Tony]

The last. The last hope.

[Mike Ryan]

So hope that kills you.

[Tony]

It's the hope that killed me, is that DDP starts working to maybe try and get a submission. And I'm like, oh, my God, could he get a buzzer beater submission here on amzad? I'm waiting. I'm waiting. No, he slipped out of it.

[Dan Le Batard]

Ok.

[Tony]

There we go.

[Mike Ryan]

So, Tony, how much?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. Oh, you bet on that?

[Tony]

Enough.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh.

[Tony]

I hadn't gathered our friends at DraftKingsportsbook.

[Mike Ryan]

We.

[Tony]

We were looking at the champion with plus juice. Okay. I'm like, man, we're looking good here. And then Hamza, it's like, you know what? I'm just going to wrestle him for 25 minutes and not let him breathe.

[Zaz]

And it said it was three, 10, eight rounds, right?

[Tony]

Yeah, it was. It was five, 10, eight rounds as what it was. It was 11, 10, eight rounds. It was the rest of his life. DDP cannot fight Hamza Chimaev. It's over.

[Zaz]

So nightmare. So I heard, I heard that this was the main event, you know that. I mean, this is the way the main event went. So I asked my son the next morning because he went out with a bunch of friends and they ordered the fight and they watch because my son is way. My son loves the Iron Fighters. And so I asked him on sons, like, hey, did you enjoy the main event? Goes, yeah. I said, oh, because I thought a lot of people didn't like it because there was a lot of wrestling going. He goes, those are casuals. They don't know what they're talking about. I enjoyed that very much.

[Tony]

Correct. The issue is when you've got a lot of money online, oh, that kind of skews the way that you want things to happen. Like, yeah, if I didn't really have any action on anything, I've been like, yeah, okay, that you go with your game plan.

[Mike Ryan]

Right.

[Tony]

It's just like in football. Hey, they've got a really bad run defense. You know what we're going to do? We're going to run the ball 67 times and you're going to have to stop us and you can't. But when you're, when you got, you know, a good amount of money on the line and you think that something's going to happen and then the complete opposite happens for 25 minutes. It's very difficult to try and keep your blood pressure down. Yes. I already ate my food.

[Dan Le Batard]

What? Why were you so confident that DDP would win?

[Zaz]

I don't think he was confident, just he was getting plus money with the champion.

[Tony]

Plus money with the champion. And DDP has fought a bunch of killers and has made everybody look stupid. So it's like, all right, we've got Khamzat, who's coming off of a really good win against Robert Whitaker, who DDP also ran through. So you've got those two equals and you're like, all right, they kind of both took care of business against Whitaker. And then Khamzat has had some trouble. He had some trouble against Kamaru Usman, who came off the couch, fought at 185. Like, there was a couple of things. I was like, you know what, maybe he's not ready to fight a five round fight championship. Deep waters with a proven killer. And then he does that and absolutely demolishes him for five rounds in a bar in Little Havana. Got to stuff the takedown. I mean, you always got to take you down. It's really simple. That was my favorite part.

[Roy]

Tony just Be like, oh, you got to do this.

[Mike Ryan]

Just do this. What are you doing?

[Tony]

Stuff the takedown. He wants to take you down. You stuff it. You know how you stuff it like this.

[Zaz]

Do you think someone said to do police after the fight? Like, why don't you stop the takedown?

[Tony]

I'm sure the corner was yelling, stuff the takedown. Christ almighty.

[Dan Le Batard]

They do postgate presses, right? Post fight presence.

[Tony]

Yeah, of course.

[Dan Le Batard]

You got to ask that question.

[Tony]

Did you see one of the fighting nerds, Carlos Bratis, after spinning back up? And the thing is, we had such a good night, right? We had two spinning back elbow finishes, one after another one, a buzzer beater. Carlos Bratis knocks out Jeff Neal, hands a steal, knocks him out with a spinning elbow. And then Aaron Pico's debut off of Bellator comes in. Laron Murphy from Manchester hits him with a vicious spinning elbow again right after. So we're those two on the co. Main event and the fight before. And then we get that. Just an absolute turd for me personally, in the main event.

[Dan Le Batard]

You gave us a lifetime of entertainment.

[Tony]

It's just.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's.

[Tony]

That's.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's the best part about this. Why is it so. Why is it so entertaining?

[Tony]

Don't shut up.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why is it so fun?

[Tony]

Yes. I already ate my food.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why is it, like, filling me with joy?

[Tony]

Thanks, Mark.

[Dan Le Batard]

To see Tony crack, I just realized.

[Tony]

Who the Mark was.

[Mike Ryan]

It's the referee.

[Tony]

Because at a certain point, he had to get Khamzat and DDP up because Hamza was just laying on him, not doing anything. Thanks, Mark. And DDP was so exhausted, he couldn't fight back. He was just there, like, thanks, Mark. Mark got him up and stood him up. Guess what? He didn't shoot the. He didn't. He didn't stop the takedown. Another shot, another takedown. Nobody get excited when somebody goes for us for. For a takedown. If you hit him with one of these, right, you step back, flying knee, he's done.

[Billy]

You think maybe it's not that easy?

[Tony]

Of course it's not that easy.

[Billy]

Okay.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't know, Tony, when you said what. Don't hype up the crowd.

[Tony]

Because he was hyping up the crowd.

[Dan Le Batard]

At the end of the round.

[Tony]

Dude, you're down 98 to zero.

[Zaz]

Like, was he trying to make it seem like he won?

[Tony]

He was just trying to be like, come on, like, let's go. Let's. It's like, no, it's over. Like, it was over the moment.

[Zaz]

Was the crowd booing? Were they not Happy with.

[Tony]

The thing is, we obviously were playing baboni and we're playing reggae tongue at the bar.

[Roy]

I love this song.

[Tony]

I also can't hear what's going on in the commentary because obviously there's. There's people dancing and people having fun and reggaeton's playing and it's like, oh, that's why I said I love this song. Worst night of my life.

[Zaz]

This is why I can't hold on.

[Dan Le Batard]

Cancer survivor Tony.

[Tony]

Worst night of my life.

[Dan Le Batard]

Two times.

[Zaz]

Twice.

[Tony]

Worst night of my life. Defending the belt. Defending the belt. Twice.

[Zaz]

Two time cancer champion Tony and ddp.

[Tony]

Can't stop a takedown. Come on.

[Mike Ryan]

Reigning and defending.

[Tony]

Worst night of my life. And still in a bar in Little Havana.

[Zaz]

Two times in Tony's life he has been told he has cancer, but that was the worst night of his life.

[Tony]

Drove home and I was just in silence. I didn't even play music. I didn't play any recaps. Usually I'll watch the press conference on the way home on my phone. Nothing. Just. Just nothing.

[Dan Le Batard]

Just.

[Tony]

I don't want to talk. I don't want to look at anything.

[Mike Ryan]

So. A lot.

[Tony]

Yeah, enough. It was enough. I had to. I had to tell Jenny and she was like, so you felt that good about him, right? I was like, it's over. When you get this price, it's like a plus. Juice with a champ, babe. I mean, come on, it makes sense. Transitive property with Whitaker, she's like, Hamza is like a killer, though. And I was like, yeah, well, you know, he was -240 on DraftKings. Thanks, Mark.

I'm sure you're already doing that thing where you're going through your photo album, flipping through the photos that you've taken this summer, already reminiscing about the good times that you have. I know I did. And in many of the pictures that I went back to reminisce over, I had a beautiful white can of Miller Light in my hand because I love making good times during the summer. A Miller time and it's a good reminder we're losing time on this summer. So why don't you share the moments that you have with a white can of Miller Light like I have.

[Dan Le Batard]

You say you'll never join the Navy.

[Tony]

Never climb Mount Fuji on a port visit, or break the sound barrier.

[Dan Le Batard]

Joining the Navy sounds crazy. Saying never actually is. Learn why@@navy.com America's Navy Forged by the Sea Don LeBatard sports stugats more Sports.

This is the Dan Levatar show with the stugats.

[Dan Le Batard]

Is anybody watching the new Alien show on Hulu?

[Zaz]

Oh, I keep. I've been trying to get to it. I'm going to damn that. But I have not started it yet.

[Dan Le Batard]

I tried starting. I fell asleep. I fell asleep like five minutes into them arguing on the ship.

[Mike Ryan]

Little boring. My experience with it was I was just answering questions the entire time because they're trying to really lean into the lore. I haven't seen episode two. I think the problem is I haven't been motivated enough to see episode two.

[Dan Le Batard]

I heard two is way better than one alien pet, but I'm telling you when I saw when one started with all right, so there's three types of people. There's the cyber. I'm like, what the hell are you talking about? Like, set a scene.

[Mike Ryan]

We have a synthetic now.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't get it. Do I have to go back and watch Alien and Aliens all over again?

[Roy]

He has questions too. Maybe your wife was not that off.

[Mike Ryan]

No, I think that you don't. You don't have to because this takes place two years before they send.

[Zaz]

You shouldn't have to.

[Dan Le Batard]

So this is a prequel?

[Tony]

Yes.

[Mike Ryan]

This is alien. It's After Prometheus. Alien Covenant.

[Dan Le Batard]

So should I have to watch Prometheus then?

[Mike Ryan]

I think you have to watch Ice Age because that's canon apparently, too.

[Dan Le Batard]

Is it? Yeah, with the. With the squirrel.

[Mike Ryan]

And I say just cannon. Dennis. Uncle Ray.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, that's right. It's your boy.

[Mike Ryan]

I want to reward the ambition. I want to see more alien content. So alien pets. I'm gonna really try to hunker down here and watch episode two.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm gonna. Like I. Last night, I had the decision, do I sit down and. All right, I'm awake. I'm. I'm feeling energetic. I'm not sleepy like I was last week or whatever. Do I watch this or do I go to Las Rosas and you know. You know who won.

[Mike Ryan]

This is Amin Al Hasan, an expert when it comes to bars. He's been to every bar.

[Dan Le Batard]

So he's got one of the. He's on one of the biggest shows in Miami. One click of a button, and it goes out to millions of followers on social media.

[Mike Ryan]

That is verbatim for when Big Cat was on Bar Rescue. That is exactly how it went.

[Dan Le Batard]

These guys know he's a taste maker. Yeah, he's a tastemaker.

[Mike Ryan]

He's a tastemaker with influence.

[Dan Le Batard]

How long was he sitting waiting for a drink, and you didn't even acknowledge him? You're losing $6,000 a week. Oh, my God.

[Mike Ryan]

Plastic cups. All right, that's it.

[Tony]

I'm going.

[Dan Le Batard]

You know what? I'm gonna. I shouldn't even say this. This has been a secret. I've been sitting on this for a while. Count the Dings is launching a Bar Rescue podcast.

[Tony]

What? What?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, man.

[Mike Ryan]

Classic rewatches.

[Dan Le Batard]

We are doing. We're heavy in the RD stage right now. Like, we've been doing dry runs, and it'll be launching in a matter of weeks, folks.

[Mike Ryan]

You and Mays.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, Maze doesn't want anything to do with that. Has never seen an episode of Bar Rescue. He's in a Bar Rescue chat and has never seen a single episode.

[Mike Ryan]

He hasn't had the privilege and the thrill of busting open the books.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, my God. And making the call for help to par rescue.

[Mike Ryan]

Hey, we got you a brand new POS system.

[Dan Le Batard]

$40,000 two times POS system. We got one here, one here, and one for the servers over here. We got you three Speedwells. How about an Orange Door music Entertainment System? Over 40,000 songs loaded like that. Remember the Part Ender numbers from. From the other day? We got your subscription to Partender. Now you'll always know how much money is you're spending and wasting on drinks. Not to stop there. Your training doesn't end. I got you a lifetime subscription to Taffer virtual training tvt. Oh, my God, I can't wait to do all this jargon. Bar rescue. You know, the goal is the whole goal for our podcast. I've already told it to my co hosts, which we'll be revealing soon. The goal is that one day we are the recon team on bar rescue. Wow. These guys have the number one bar rescue podcast.

[Tony]

They look like normal guys, but when they walk in, they know exactly what they're looking for.

[Dan Le Batard]

And you know what I gotta order when I get to the bar? An old fashioned. Got it. Cause it's always. You can't just get a cauldric. No, it's gotta be. Let me get. Man. I watched the episode the other day. Dude ordered a White Russian. I'm like, son of a. You know, this bar is failing. Why would you order a white Russian from these people, man? This lady poured like a gallon of heavy cream into this drink. A little bit of Kahlua, little bit of vodka.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, those all milk.

[Dan Le Batard]

It was. Yeah, it was. It was a lactose intolerance nightmare.

[Mike Ryan]

Hope you didn't ask for a menu at Las Rosas.

[Dan Le Batard]

I thought about it, man. I said, do you guys have. A cocktail menu is on display.

[Mike Ryan]

They just point up. This is what we have. It's. But if Taffer. If a. If a secret agent on behalf of John Taffer was there, he'd be like.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, yeah, no, yeah, dismiss me and.

[Mike Ryan]

Just point it up. That's the menu. Come on.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. Ended up getting. Living the high life. Should have gotten Miller Light, but I like high life.

[Mike Ryan]

Proud Miller Bar.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, there you go. Atta boy.

[Roy]

It's always Miller.

[Tony]

Zaz, you ever seen Bar Rescue?

[Zaz]

I love Bar Rescue.

[Tony]

Okay, he's being very quiet, and I. I'm just.

[Zaz]

I'm learning here.

[Mike Ryan]

You're interested in co hosting a podcast?

[Billy]

Are you the co host?

[Zaz]

I mean, I. I don't. I don't want to give anything away, but I will tell you, I love. I love bar rescue. Well, you know, Taffy invented NFL Red Zone. I know the NFL Sunday Ticket.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, Sunday ticket. It was him invented it. Invented it. And the butt funnel.

[Tony]

Put them all together and then sell it.

[Dan Le Batard]

I like, I like. Yo, the term invented has a lot of leeway, doesn't it? Lot of latitude.

[Zaz]

He invented people wanting to watch every NFL game.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, I just like the idea of, like, him sitting back in the bathroom.

[Tony]

You know what would be great?

[Dan Le Batard]

You know what you guys should do? You should sell, like, a subscription so that everybody can watch every game all the time. And he's making paper airplanes and just throwing them.

[Mike Ryan]

Oftentimes, people conceptualize, it's the inventing that you can always push back on. It's not your invention.

[Billy]

Copyright.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, there it is. Whoa.

[Mike Ryan]

That's a move.

[Billy]

Mine now.

[Dan Le Batard]

Now you own Sunday Ticket.

[Billy]

You know what else I own? Copyright. That little trick he does with the beer where he spins the thing around.

[Tony]

He'S like, this is what it's doing inside your stomach.

[Dan Le Batard]

I still don't understand.

[Billy]

Me neither.

[Roy]

I can explain it to you.

[Dan Le Batard]

Can you?

[Roy]

That when you pour a beer poorly, like with a big head, when you're pouring it in, that the gases in there are exploding. And that's why what fills you up in your stomach is being released in the cup. So you get a big head, but it actually ends up being a better experience for your stomach. Whereas if you pour it properly, where no head ever, and there's just zero head on the beer, then you drink that. That then all the gas in your stomach and it fills you up more. So you can drink more beers without feeling full if you pour it terribly and get a big head.

[Billy]

He says that, but I don't know that I believe.

[Roy]

No, I'm not saying that is how it's not you.

[Billy]

I'm saying Taffer, because, like, Taffer does that, but, like, okay, let's say I have a Coca Cola, right? And I shake it and you get all that. That foam or whatever, right? And then, like, it explodes if I close it, I shake it again. You get just as much the next time, except for the one that came out. So, like, if. If it has all that foam inside my glass and then I pour it into my mouth, what's to say it's not doing that inside of my stomach again?

[Mike Ryan]

Because you release the gases. I don't know how this works for soda, but I do know how it works.

[Roy]

Two different drinks.

[Billy]

Which is why you gotta push people.

[Mike Ryan]

To the draft beer. Because you could sell more.

[Tony]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Juju, put it on the pole. Can you have double gas?

[Tony]

Can you have double gas? Or you shake it once. Is there more left in the tank?

[Dan Le Batard]

The gas is out, right? Doesn't that mean the gas is out? No, it's also less carbonated.

[Mike Ryan]

I think soda's different. It has to be.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why is it different? Bubbles?

[Mike Ryan]

Nah, it has to be bubbles or bubbles.

[Tony]

Bubbles or bubbles.

[Mike Ryan]

No, bubbles are bubbles, dude.

[Dan Le Batard]

You put on the poll are bubbles. Bubbles. Right.

[Mike Ryan]

If you try to take the initial beer and from one pint glass to another after you already poured it poorly.

[Roy]

Trivia. Roy's got something on there.

[Mike Ryan]

It's not gonna be the same amount of bubbles. It just can't be a soda's carbonated water as opposed to beer, which is fermented.

[Tony]

Wow.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, there's.

[Mike Ryan]

That sounds right to me.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's not carbonated.

[Tony]

He said it.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm like, that sounds right.

[Roy]

Say that on air.

[Mike Ryan]

That sounds right.

[Tony]

So there's double bubble there.

[Roy]

Love a good fermenting.

[Dan Le Batard]

So you want. You want a big head? You can put it on the pole. Big head or no head?

[Zaz]

I love big head.

[Mike Ryan]

I mean, that's why you don't drink out a can or a bottle.

[Dan Le Batard]

What?

[Roy]

That's going in the club.

[Mike Ryan]

I always stop the bartender if I shake a beer.

[Billy]

I don't know if we have Miller Lights here. If I pour it in a glass, I make sure and I shake it. You're gonna get the foam, right?

[Mike Ryan]

You don't need to.

[Billy]

And then if I let it settle and I do it again, I'm gonna get foam again.

[Mike Ryan]

Not the same amount of foam. Let's try this.

[Dan Le Batard]

I think this is a great experiment. I think we should get a can of Miller Light, go get, like, a nice pint glass mic, and then Tavr does it with, like, a paper towel, right? Like, he stirs it up. I want to see this happen. I don't like. First of all, I swear to God, I'm going to sound like an idiot. I am today, years old, learning that beer is not carbonated by carbonation. It's carbonated by the fermentation process. I didn't know that.

[Zaz]

I don't know. I don't think that's stupid enough.

[Roy]

We're all just, like, believing Roy, too. I mean, I don't know.

[Dan Le Batard]

Now the look on Roy's face does not give me confidence. When you said it, you seem real confident. And right now you just had this look like Zach Wilson at the Draft. Yeah. Where are we at? Mike, you got some props for us here.

[Mike Ryan]

We don't have Miller Lite here, but I was told that on God Bless Football, John Taffer did this on set. So we're going to try to track down that archive.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, okay. All right. This is when you guys were at the super bowl, right?

[Billy]

Yeah, this was Vegas.

[Dan Le Batard]

Vegas, Super Bowl.

[Tony]

I remember.

[Dan Le Batard]

I remember being incredibly jealous. That was the man I was. So that they had Taffer that they had Taffer. Really? Yeah.

[Billy]

He was just wondering about anyone could have gotten him that day. Yeah, he was just there.

[Dan Le Batard]

That was one of the ones I wanted to be there.

[Zaz]

Anybody could have gotten him. Wouldn't everybody want him?

[Billy]

Apparently not.

[Tony]

Wow.

[Billy]

That's one of those Tuesdays, like, you know, early in the week where they have, like, a table. It's like the welcome committees, like, oh, we have John Taffer on behalf of.

[Tony]

The city of Las Vegas.

[Billy]

Like, okay, like, we'll take him. Year before, we had. We had Carrot Top when we were in Arizona. They flew Carrot Top in because he was going to promote the super bowl the following year in Las Vegas. Because I don't if you know this. Apparently there's a Super bowl every year. Most people don't know it. You need Carrot Top to come and tell you, next year there's going to be another super bowl, and it's going to be in Las Vegas. So we said, yeah, we'll take. We'll take care of Top. But every city has, like, a little table, and they're like, we're going to have these people talk about either this year's city or next year city on behalf. It's usually like a Monday or Tuesday when it's slow.

[Dan Le Batard]

They're paid to do this.

[Billy]

They flew. So we were trying to Carrot Top not to put his business out there. We were talking to Carrot Top. They flew him in on a PJ that morning. He did, like, interviews for, like, an hour, and then he had a show at night, and they flew him right back. But he needed to be there for that hour to tell people the super bowl was going to Las Vegas.

[Mike Ryan]

The following year, I went to a Stanley cup final between Vegas and Florida.

[Zaz]

God, I miss the Panthers.

[Mike Ryan]

And you know how they do in arena entertainment. They have trivia questions or whatever. Shell game. The in arena host in Vegas asked a gentleman to participate in one of the games and just casually interviewed him. The gentleman was Jon Taffer.

[Dan Le Batard]

Really?

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. And she didn't know.

[Dan Le Batard]

No way at all. Okay, now I'm Googling this.

[Mike Ryan]

Everybody in the arena was pointing, so it was. It was so bad that, like, does.

[Zaz]

She say, what's your name? I'm John.

[Mike Ryan]

He just casually answered and the camera moved away, and he was like, that was weird. And then it was so obvious that a mistake was made that 10 minutes later they came back with John. I just noticed who you were. Like, that was a tough look.

[Tony]

Wow.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm looking at. Oh, there's a lot of. There's a lot of Taffra. Golden Knights content. It's him with a very large Golden Knights jersey on. Which is funny because he has short arm. He's got short arms. He can't.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm sure he's done like pre game entertainment before. He was just casually asked a trivia question at the Stanley cup final. He's often at the Knights games.

[Dan Le Batard]

Everyone's there, huh? Let's say Little John is there.

[Mike Ryan]

All the residencies, all the resident DJs in all the casinos. They, they often do they have a.

[Roy]

Fun in game experience.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, it is really fun.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

They got us at one time.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh well. Yeah, two years ago.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, they, they got us four times. We only got them one time.

[Roy]

I was there when they clinched.

[Tony]

It was brutal. It's tough.

[Dan Le Batard]

Were you, were you as a show employee or as a fan?

[Roy]

No, I just went.

[Dan Le Batard]

You just went.

[Zaz]

That's hard times.

[Dan Le Batard]

Got it. Like that, huh? Go to Vegas.

[Roy]

That one I may have actually. Cuz remember the next morning I was on the show. That one. They may have paid for my flight. I've gone to like, like I went to the Bills game a couple years ago.

[Dan Le Batard]

Like it's not the flight that I'm. I'm curious about here. Chris. Anyone could fly to Vegas. It's not hard to fly to Vegas. It's the Stanley cup final.

[Roy]

Oh, like the entrance to the game. Yeah, I believe I did do that because that the metal arc always does credentials. I want to go.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, so you said no to the credential. I'm going to go.

[Roy]

Like they probably paid for my room in flight. And I was like, you know what? I'm not taking credential. I need to be. I'm going to. I'll buy myself a ticket. Cuz I want.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't want to behave.

[Roy]

And then we lost.

[Zaz]

You need to be around everyone losing 8 to 1, right.

[Tony]

He wants to drink beer.

[Dan Le Batard]

Middle Light.

[Mike Ryan]

Don Lerd Amino Hasson, St Amino Acid.

[Tony]

This is the Don lebatar show with the sts.

[Dan Le Batard]

Speaking of drinking beer, we got the video tapper with Billy and St. At the super bowl right now A lot.

[Unknown Bartender]

Of people that are rookie bartenders are so scared of too much head, they pour the beer like never, right?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yep. Really slow. I gotta be honest, that's how I do it.

[Unknown Bartender]

And your hair's getting gray, right? And I mean this is the way they pour that beer.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Unknown Bartender]

Then the guy who's a more experienced bartender, you know, he'll fill the cup more like this. Put the beer next to it and give it to you.

[Dan Le Batard]

That Way.

[Unknown Bartender]

Now, what happens if you drink that beer when you put it in your stomach? Nothing happens.

[Roy]

Nothing happens.

[Unknown Bartender]

But if you take this beer and put it your stomach, look what happens.

[Tony]

Oh, wow.

[Billy]

I didn't know my stomach was made of paper towel.

[Unknown Bartender]

I'm simply showing you if you pour it faster, you can drink more.

[Tony]

Right.

[Unknown Bartender]

See, when you pour it slow like this and it bubbles like that in your gut, you're gonna drink less beer, aren't you?

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're bloated.

[Zaz]

Yeah.

[Roy]

But you feel like you're drinking more.

[Dan Le Batard]

Beer at the time, you know?

[Unknown Bartender]

But neither of those is exactly correct. The middle is where you want to be.

[Tony]

Of course.

[Dan Le Batard]

Billy, you disrespectful.

[Billy]

I still don't get it. Looking at the two, they look identical to me. Well, like the two colors.

[Zaz]

Can I be honest?

[Roy]

It was the reaction to the paper.

[Zaz]

Like, if I'm being honest, I don't know what he's trying to tell me there.

[Mike Ryan]

You don't want the beer expanding in your stomach, guys. This is science.

[Billy]

But there's less beer expanded in the one that was poured improperly.

[Roy]

I'm with Billy, though. Like, it seems like a paper towel is what creates this explosion. Like, what in my stomach is when.

[Mike Ryan]

One encounters the lining of your stomach. I'll start doing that. Guys. Science.

[Tony]

You don't have no head. Situations don't get it. You guys are no head, guys.

[Billy]

I don't have bounty inside the thing.

[Tony]

Why.

[Mike Ryan]

Why don't you get.

[Tony]

Oh, no.

[Roy]

I pour beers like this. Like, when I'm out for a night. If I'm having a night, like, first beer is being poured terribly because I'm like, I gotta create some.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't want to have proof of concept. I used to do it the way just drinking it out of the can. And I would get more bloaty than I do. This is not my mind playing tricks on me, guys.

[Roy]

And that was a Miller Light.

[Mike Ryan]

Despite the beer being my canned and bottled beer. I asked for a glass so I can pour it in and release the bubble so it's not in my tummy.

[Dan Le Batard]

So whenever you're out. So if you go to Las Rosas, you say, let me get a Miller Lite. You're gonna ask them to pour it in a glass.

[Mike Ryan]

That's right. Unless it's just like, I only want one beer, because then getting bloated. I'm not gonna get bloated off of one beer.

[Dan Le Batard]

What happens if they pour it the incorrect way, according to Taffrain?

[Mike Ryan]

Well, we have cans, and there's also draft beer. I don't think we have any bottles. But I would ask for a cup and pour it into the cup.

[Dan Le Batard]

You would do yourself.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

You wouldn't tell them to do it.

[Mike Ryan]

I could tell them and they would be helpful too.

[Dan Le Batard]

Would they do it the right way?

[Mike Ryan]

Pour it like a savage is what I would tell them.

[Roy]

You can order a beer. Like a steak. Like I'll take my beer. Big head. Really?

[Tony]

Yeah.

[Billy]

I'm kidding.

[Roy]

I don't know.

[Dan Le Batard]

I was about to go.

[Tony]

Can I get medium head please?

[Mike Ryan]

I always say pour like a savage and just leave me the can.

[Zaz]

Give me my beer with some head, please.

[Roy]

Give me a taffer.

[Dan Le Batard]

Give me a lot of head.

[Mike Ryan]

Give me the taffer.

[Zaz]

Get thrown out.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Tony]

So more head the better. That's what we're saying.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Because you don't want that happening in science. Morehead state paper towels.

[Dan Le Batard]

As you know, Ken the Farid the.

[Tony]

Manimal playing in Puerto Rico, by the way.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, he is still playing. Still out here.

[Tony]

Still doing his thing.

[Dan Le Batard]

Still doing his thing.

[Tony]

That was a guy who I didn't think that was going to be that good. Ended up being someone decent in that game we played a couple weeks ago.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, he's hung around a lot longer than I thought. Yeah, he's an effort guy. Like he was never going to be more than high motor. But high motor will get you places.

[Mike Ryan]

I mean, didn't his skill set appear at a time like that? That was like the only window of time that it could work for Kenneth Farid in NBA history.

[Dan Le Batard]

Maybe I think it could work now. But again, it's like he didn't know.

[Mike Ryan]

How to shoot though.

[Dan Le Batard]

No. Yeah, but like he's not going to be a starter.

[Mike Ryan]

Everyone needs a. There's only like guys like that are matchup dependent.

[Dan Le Batard]

He's the guy that would be your one in, four out, one in and then he's the guy that set the screen and then you throw lobs. Because he's a great athlete, he's going to finish above the rim.

[Mike Ryan]

But night in, night out, starting at the 4 in today's NBA that doesn't happen. He had a really nice career.

[Dan Le Batard]

He couldn't start. Yeah, he hit the exact, exact window of time where he could make money and play and. And have a resume.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, because there was that slight window like, oh, we don't need a cement block footed power forward. Let's get an athletic guy, a nimble guy to come out and guard some of these guys that can shoot. But then the game evolved so Quickly. That that guy also needs to be able to shoot and handle and do all that.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't think he needs to. I don't. I think you can still be a big. That is, like, active and dunks and rebounds and defense. Problem is, he wasn't a good defensive player. Like, he was a guy that got lost in schemes and stuff like that.

[Mike Ryan]

People think that because he was just a rebound guy.

[Dan Le Batard]

It was. It was just. Look, I watched a lot of Kenneth Farid.

[Mike Ryan]

No, I know.

[Dan Le Batard]

He was the. The.

[Zaz]

The great nickname, though.

[Dan Le Batard]

The great nickname. The Manimal. I. Again, I'm always a fan of. When you have a good nickname like a Nick. A real nickname, not like a. A play on your name or something. Like Joker. I don't like that nickname. I get it. I get why. I don't think it's. It's creative enough. Right.

[Zaz]

Like, he's not a joker. He doesn't have personality of a joker. His style of play is not how Joker would play. I think I'm with you there.

[Dan Le Batard]

What's the best nickname in the NBA right now? What's the big name? Best nickname in team sports. I know UFC has this thing on lock. Everyone's got a nickname. Yeah, but like, in team sports, in the NFL and baseball, right now, the best active nickname I'm trying to. I. If I. I hit you with. Well, I can't say Slim Reaper because Durant does not. No one calls Durantula. No, no. There's someone who tried a baseball player, Right. Try to steal the name Durantula. We're like, no, no, you don't get to do that. There's a whole sneaker named after that. Right.

[Tony]

That's active, though.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's active. I'm telling you, they're not good. Like Donovan Mitchell. Spider. Spider. Mitchell's like, that's okay. Yeah. Right. Is this Bam Count as a nickname? Yeah.

Can you go to a department store and buy a poster to hang up on your wall, or do you have to go on Mike on the Internet.

[Dan Le Batard]

To do that these days? We talked about this on the Dracula 2000 episode of Cinephobe. All you have to do is go to the Virgin Megastore.

[Mike Ryan]

I love that. I love cruising through the entire archive of the catalog of poster options. You want Jim Morrison now this is the Eminem poster.

[Dan Le Batard]

Folks.

[Zaz]

I was living with my mother at the time when I was in high school and I started putting up the Zeppelin and the Pink Floyd posters. Like she knew what I was up to.

[Dan Le Batard]

Right. You're smoking weed.

[Zaz]

Gotta put the towel underneath the. Underneath the door. Put the towel work. I don't know. I don'. Get caught.

[Tony]

It's been passed down from generation. Generation dorms.

[Roy]

Everyone in the dorm tried it at hotel rooms.

[Dan Le Batard]

Mostly wet. Wet towel. Just not wet.

[Zaz]

Just. Just the towel.

[Tony]

No, but wet, wet. It gets in there better and then it stops. The. The actual smell seals there. Somebody told me. I don't know who. I don't remember who it was. Somebody told me if you take a paper towel roll and then you put a Febreze thing on the other side of it, that. The smoke.

[Roy]

Oh, yeah, I've done that too. Done that too.

[Dan Le Batard]

Wait, what?

[Roy]

Where you're like.

[Zaz]

You blow the. You blow out the smoke that you just inhaled into the. The Little like toilet paper roll with the Febreze so that the smoke comes out breezes. Yeah. So it comes out smelling like Febreze.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, it just smells like Febreze and. And stank then. Right. Like it's.

[Tony]

Yeah.

[Roy]

Like we're trying to mitigate here. Not completely.

[Zaz]

I'm trying not to get caught. I mean, I'm only 16 years old. All right.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, man. The. The things that, as a teenager, you thought that would fly.

[Zaz]

Oh, the things that we used to do as a teenager when it came to stuff like that that I would never consider doing now. Because it's dangerous.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's right.

[Zaz]

Like the things I was doing back then.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh.

[Zaz]

Like how? What was I thinking, you know?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Zaz]

I remember one time, though, you do you everything not to get caught.

[Dan Le Batard]

Right.

[Zaz]

You know, you're doing such a good job, and you could even make up stories like, oh, what happened here? You know, and then. And then. And then one night, I left something in. In my pants, you know? Goes to the wash.

[Dan Le Batard]

Laundry.

[Zaz]

Yeah, it goes to the wash. And my mom comes out. She goes, hey, I found this in the laundry. And I was like, what was the.

[Dan Le Batard]

Lie you came up with?

[Zaz]

I got nothing.

[Dan Le Batard]

You got nothing.

[Tony]

You always gotta come up with something.

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

[Dan Le Batard]

Cuervo.

[Mike Ryan]

What are you doing here?

[Dan Le Batard]

Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

[Dan Le Batard]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.
