Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Quervo. What are you doing here? Quervo. Anytime someone says quarevo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during and reads, like... Quervo.

I think he could lay out, especially from one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious quervo. Since then, Cuervo is stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Quervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all. Quervo. Quervo.

The tequila. That invented tequila. Broximo.com. Please drink responsibly. Cuervo. Cuevo. Ding dong, the links are out. Ding down the stud buzz.

Oh, are out of the playoffs. How are we feeling, sis? I mean, I'm just so disappointed in a team that I thought had all the makings of a championship. caliber team the way they went out was embarrassing you lose game two when you're up by 20 in the third quarter that's just sick you have multiple 13 16 point leads in game four in an elimination game and you lose by five which you do not cover the four and a half uh which is either neither here nor there i wasn't really worried about that but i kind of was and and nefisa call you're injured

Sheryl Reeve not there because she got suspended. The whole thing was a nightmare. Yeah, I got a question about the suspension of Cheryl Reeves. Like, what are we doing suspending there? I thought we was going to see, like, what, $33 fine, $45 fine? It's like, what happened to the spirit of the rule? Kail and Clark got fined $200. Cheryl got to sit out a whole elimination game just because of what she did.

Now, what she said after the game was, pretty harsh and you can't necessarily question the establishment in that order but i don't know bro what you think a suspension was necessary a suspension during the playoffs when you know they're about to be in an elimination game has to be has to be done only in the most severe circumstances yeah now now i don't know she threatened to put mitts on the rep okay this She really threatened to put Mitz on the realm. I mean, she had to be held back. She's cussing at the fans as she's leaving.

Show this. She's having to be held back. Dijunay is holding a towel to be like, nothing to see here. Do not show her. She says the F word more times. That's the funniest one. The towel?

That's the funny shit up on our weekend. Dijunay is trying to hold that towel. Like, boy, if you don't. put that damn tower down. Whoops, my bad for Cussing. But look, remember John Morant

didn't want to the camera on him? And then the camera was the other view. I was like, bro, we see you. That was hilarious. Crazy. And then dropped so many F-bombs during the press conference like she forgot

she was going inside of the Lepetard stream. You know what I mean? She didn't know she was going to be on Peacock. So she ends up dropping the F-bombs more than I did in last Friday show.

And you're calling the establishment Basically that they're having a conspiracy Because they want the league to be more physical looking for ratings It's pretty severe I don't think she should have been suspended But I don't know what should get you suspended Right I feel like anything short of putting the piles on somebody

Let's see a final Let's see her suspended for the first five games next year But this was too important of a spot Even though Fee was out I think that Kalim McBride put forth such an effort, bro. She went so crazy. Courtney, the team put up a great effort in defeat. Salute to Mike, what's not Mike Tebow, the son, Tebow, Teno son.

Like, salute them, man. They tried their best. Leticia Hiderman. Salute to all the, this was just a great series overall, man. From Kalia Copper to versus Courtney, from AT versus Fee, to Satu, Versus the bridge. The bridge had spung. I ain't know the bridge had that much spunk.

She was like, Satu, come here. Nah, great series overall. Great series, very physical series. Nate Tibbitts, I thought at the end of the game, what will not be discussed is how many dang timeouts he called in a row. He was like, we're not dealing with this. As soon as we get the, nope, nope, we're going to set it up again. We're going to get our offense going.

This is too important for y'all to just be freestyle now. out here speaking of freestyling the Indiana fever right now they are freestyling right now against the aces and sir and maims and days it is working I would have I would have never thought that they would have got two to two versus the aces putting them what now in a deciding game was this five pivotal championship on the line game five are you impressed with what the fever are doing or are you let down with how the aces are handling

this pressure? I think I feel more impressed by the fever, a team that has like pretty much nobody there in terms of the starters that were there in the beginning of the season. DeWana Bonner, she's now on the Mercury, Caitlin

Clark's on the bench in street clothes, Sophie Cunningham on the bench in street close, multiple players that filled in street clothes. So the fact that they had the the ability to be resilient and I tell you what I said this to my friend

when I was texting her I said I think Alia Boston if she wanted to and they got her the ball like Prime Shaq she could go to the free throw line 20 times a game yeah I mean she could Asia did not like that though post game Asia was like

Alia said I get a special whistle but she got 13 free throws tonight They're a question. I honestly, you just do your work. You've got to do your work early and make it different. But Aliyah did say I have a special whistle, and she shot 13 today. She said, she said the last game. I had a special whistle, which is cool.

Do you like that type of discourse after the game from the players? Did she go too far? Was she spot on? Because after a defeat, it's always the most emotional moments. and she chose to speak out on that. What you thought about that part? And she spoke out the three Aces players had five fouls and said it was interesting.

And then when Becky Hammond said, do you mean shit? She said, yes, I do. So I just think the W's kind of messy in post-game pressers. Are they not messy? Right. Right. And I feel like they have the right to be.

Also a little messy right now going around on the internet. Chloe. Oh, baby. Sophie, Chloe Bibby, Sophie, and Caitlin. Now, maybe this is a conspiracy. Now, and maybe we've got to push a certain button when I go to the conspiracy land. But it's not the greatest of looks that Courtney, Chloe, and Sophie, they're on the bench, front, and center, Cid, Erie, Damaris.

They got to have some damn seats. They got to buy their own tickets to the game, basically, damn there. And don't get me started on this. Just Chloe, girl, look, she apologized for this. And for the listening audience, Chloe posted a picture of, a depiction of her, Sophie, and Caitlin at the Atlanta Dream game, getting confronted by the cop telling them to move away. But the way she posted this picture, like, it's a civil rights situation that happened. Like, girl, take it down, salute for you to taking it down, and for apologizing for how that seemed.

But what you think about the seating arrangement situation? Can we get Airy in front and center on one of these games, or she got to keep buying her tickets thorough? Chloe Bibby is not a big enough player to be there in street clothes on the bench. Ari McDonald was giving them buckets. I think we need to have some sort of production requirement in order to see if you can be a part of the bench mob. It kind of just feels like all the white girls get to sit on the bench next to 70.

I'm saying, I'm glad you said it as a Caucasian person because I can't be making those accusations, but I'm just saying it don't, it's not a great look. Indiana fever, keep doing your thing, try to get these dogs, but let's get the looks so these situations a little better because it just don't feel right seeing the sisters on the second row. They're not helping themselves. And Chloe Bibi, what do you think before we move on, because it was a very resilient win, I thought obviously played really well. I thought obviously Alia played well

even though she was throwing them both still. But if you post that and you said, I didn't know that there was any racial component to it, do you just, when you hear that, do you just let that slide or do you think, please? As someone who wants change in the world, I feel like sometimes we got to lend out

a couple of extra ounces of patience. to folks we want, like before this year, like when folks used to talk about the WMBA, and they wasn't really talking about it in a way that I would prefer. I'm glad you were talking about it. But here, let me bend your ear on how this would make more sense for you to talk about it in this way. So I'm going to extend patience to her for not knowing, and so I hope she gets it better, but at the same time, we still got to point out the error and be like, yo, sis, eggs on your face right now.

it ain't a good look take it down let's go ahead and give our sister some patience she apologized it better not happen again then happen again we're on your ass but right like like you say before we move on before that sophy was very vocal about them getting wins against the aces they're like acees ain't giving us no credit uh let's say what uh alia was in your ass or whatever she said alina was was stopping your guardian i'm like look bro i don't know how much credit you want from the other team in these scenarios but i don't i'm not used to the other team giving a damn about your credit during the playoff series you know what you want you want the aces to be like you know credit to the fever they've played awesome basketball like they've got multiple players in street close and

we didn't even think they would be here when they beat when they beat the Atlanta dream we were shocked honestly we're shocked that we're going back to Vegas for a game five so golf claps for the no are you serious absolutely effing not no i'm not getting you credit And also stop hugging me when you're posting me up. Stop reverse hugging me. When I get you off me, I get called for the foul. And then you, oh, please, ref, pick me up. And I love Leah Boston.

She's a dog. But you're too good and too skilled to be doing that. Exactly. Like Joe L&B, bro. Get your ass up, man. You're dominant. You're good enough to get up, bro. Stop falling.

Now look at you. Out for falling on your damn hip too long. Moving on. What we got in a way of predictions? Because right now, the Phoenix Mercury have slain the dragon. They are waiting for an opponent in the finals. Is it going to be the Aces? Is it going to be the fever?

Do we know? Does it matter? What you got? Juju, I don't, I don't know. I'm so scared. I think it's got to be the Aces. But I think it's got to be the Aces just based on championship pedigree. Yeah.

Asia's going to have a bagillion. The crowd is going to be loud. It is. And they want that home court. They want to go to the finals. They don't want to do all this. They don't come this far just to come this far. But, man, it feels like it's the Mercury's time.

It feels like another chip is on the way. It's so sad, too, because the Atlanta Dream beat the Mercury. We beat the, like, we beat the dog stuff out of these folks. Sorry, Dylan. We beat the dog stuff out of these folks. Every time we played them this year, man, and to see them do this, you got to take your hat off to them. I'm not going to reminisce. It hurts a lot. Speaking of peak athletes, now is the part of the show where we go to our peakest of peak athletes, Ms. Rebecca. In a segment, we like to call. Br, bro, Ms. Rebecca went D1. That's what people don't know. Don't tell them about it, Ms. Rebecca. Just tell them to Google you. Look, Google my sister Mr. Rebecca went D1 on what?

D1, look, you got to Google, do your Googles. I don't know if he's been serious or not, but 10,000 years ago, I did play D1 sports at Rutgers. Oh, I was one of them ones at Rutgers. I wanted to go to Rutgers when I was a little young one. 10,000 years ago. What did you do at Rutgers? What did you do at Rutgers?

I played field hockey and lacrosse. Yeah, she did. Field hockey and I play lacrosse. I also worked for the waste management. Yeah, she got rid of waste. Sopranos, you know what I mean back in the day? Mamas got it. And also if you cross Miss Rebecca, you sleep with the fishes.

Neither here nor there. Welcome, Miss Rebecca, to a segment we like to call Boy, stop. Take it away, Miss Rebecca. All right, I got a video for you, which is very, you know, let's call it the Hunger Games has come to the WNBA

Right The Hunger Games Yes and I do not Volunteer's tribute The mockingjay Mocking Jay Mocking Jay head ass Because everybody's broken

Oh There we go Scooter gang Scooter gang Right That's sad as hell man Fee, oh, damn, show that again.

Show me that DGNA clip again, and her scooting by. That's saying, I know. Show her, no. No, she was coasting. You can tell that leg had just, you know, when you have a skateboard

and you kick hard and just shoot you for it? That's what she's doing. Ceph was so, I feel like Fee was really in good spirits for being on a scooter. I would be mad as hell, missing the MVP. I missed those last two games of the year because I wanted us to be ready for a championship run.

Asia gets it over me, and then now I'm on a scooter, can't even play in an elimination game after Alyssa Thomas took my knee out. That was a foul. Exactly. It was a foul. And like you say, I would be so upset. I would be so mad that I probably would have skipped the game. Salute the feet for even coming to the game, being out there, man. I would have watched that thing for my hotel room.

But Dijunay right behind her, she's riding by, like, what's the song? All my friends, ride a damn scooter. With the beanie on low, like, salute to Fee and Dijanae. But Fee already got her eyes on that damn on Ravichick that's coming in. Very swiftly. You think that's what it is? Yeah, she's good. She's getting ready to cheer on Melissa Smith in the finals.

That's what she's getting ready to do. Miss Rebecca, what's next? All right, I got one more for you that I think we should talk about. So I just, I really need your thoughts on Cheryl Reeve, literally yelling at the fan. I mean, she really looks like she's going to take her out right here. Like she really looks, she really goes after this fan. Yeah, I'm going to play this view right here. You know, it's hilarious.

Ms. Rebecca, when I was watching Ms. Cheryl go crazy, I was like, who does she remind me of? She is losing her. This is how Miss Rebecca would do. Right. And I thought of Mr. Beck. I'm like, wait a second. Are you some candy, Ms. Sherrill? Because I would be damned. How out of your mind do you have to be? I think the guy touched your shoulder. I think that's what happened is the fan touched your shoulder like, you're all right. Look at him. Touch your, yeah, what are you doing touching my shoulder?

Touch your shoulder. Don't, go. Get off me. You get off me, too. And I just, this is my favorite part right here. Every women's sports team needs a good lesbian security guard right there. You're out. You're out. Oh, boy. You got to go.

Right. And now you're getting a butcher. Yeah, get out of here. You go. You go. Brough. Miss Cheryl was doing will feral levels of frustration. You can't touch the coach that she's getting out.

That's true. I'm in a glass of confusion. Don't look at me. You look at me. Who do you think you are? I am. She was mad as hell. I ain't never seen somebody that mad on the court, bro.

Like I say, bro, Dijunay, you are the star of the year for putting that damn towel up. So we couldn't see Mr. Sherr. Them boy, instantly switched to the next angle. Also, we got breaking news. We never have breaking news on the show right now. We got breaking news. Anthony Davis says that he must wear protective eyewear. for the rest of his career following a mandate from his doctor breaking news like the brow is now

the goggles the unigoggle how we feel it will that affect him at all well he put like one of those glass what's he going to do because it needs to be goggles right that's the only thing you can do right well maybe he wears the alicia gray uh goggles you did like kind of kind of but kind of goofy you know it's going to change his entire career arc on Getty because you're going to see

photos of Anthony Davis for the rest of his career with those Buck what was it Kevin Duckworth goggles those Buck Williams goggles that's who it was it was Buck Williams back in the day that's I didn't know that the skin of paper

bones of glass translated to the cornea you know what I mean like I didn't know that every square inch of his body was fragile okay there we are I always thought that Anthony Davis looked like Kareem Abdul-Jabar this adds on to the legends the legend the legacy whatever what am I saying moving on it's a Tuesday what a show right exactly what a show man you never gave your prediction oh my prediction is now at this point I think the mercury going to have

hell no business man they done been through the fire that first round they had to go through new york i mean excuse me stew york and that that's not an easy task right they went through the links the number one team the best team even without fee you see what kail mcbride can do they did that and now they go sitting here and wait for the links i mean not the links the the aces and the fever i think it might be quick work i have a question is the if the mercury win the title Is it the most impressive, is it the most impressive title run in the last five years? If they get the aces, yes. Yes.

If they have the fever. You'll get the links, you'll have the defending champ, the number one seed, and the player with four MVPs and multiple championships. And 17 straight wins. And 17 straight wins. That's the hardest road that you could get to to win a championship. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. 100%.

Besides how the road that was for the links last year, they had to beat the New York Liberty and the three referees on the court, that was a hard path, but they didn't get it done. Would you take Sautu to win finals MVP at 14 to 1 yes or no? Absolutely not. I'm taking 18 no matter what. Taking 18 no matter what. Yep. Plus 140. The odds are bad. water right because she bawling she bawling she's she's doing a lot more than balling she's getting very physical she's doing some other extracurriculars off the court she's a very

spicy player juju yeah i wanted to get to one more video before we got out of here i have never seen a field storm this damn fair i know we had the alley-hut but we got to talk about history man the history books right now No one has ever stormed the field faster than the Virginia football situation. They got to win the other day over Florida State. Look at this. Catch. What if it was a flag?

What if it was holding? I think they ran over the player. Look at this. The player touches the ball right there. He's still on the field. He just got smashed. Is he okay? Brough, I think my boy is still in the end zone.

like one of them Chalk outlines Chalk outline my boy He's still on the ground He's still up he just He just hasn't gotten up yet Nope Right

What do you think about this Fieldstorming What's your opinion on field storming Well, Juj I feel like you're asking me This is a setup I'm asking your opinion on Virginia's field storming

I like I like field storming I think it was good Why are you asking me Of course you like Fieldstorming Miss Rebecca Let's see some

more fans were celebrating their team after their epic win this weekend. Oregon versus Penn State. We had another field storming that didn't go too popular on SportsCenter, but it was popular in my household. Roll the tape, Ms. Rebecca, once you can get it. Wait, it was on SportsCenter? Look at this Joker. Storm in the field, running over football players.

She don't give a damn. Look at that look in her eyes. She is possessed. Look at this joke. Did you see the neck made? Did you see the neck made on me? How did it feel the storm to feel and all white out and Penn State by your damn self? No, listen, it was just me.

It was literally just me and the rest of the team. As you can see, I hugged the athletic director. Where is he? There he is. The AD right there. That's Matt Neuer, the AD for Oregon. People said that I had a hard time. I'm going 15, 20 yards

and my cardio needs to be up. But do you know how hard it is to scream, full speed, and sprint around? It's not easy. It's also the opening to Blair Witch Project is what this looks like. Look, they got that picture right there outside of the stadium.

Have you seen this lady worn out for a rest? $500. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. We even started a little Let's Go Ducks chant as well on the end zone all the fans that were there by the by the gate we got them to go let's go

ducks let's go ducks and then i dropped all my stuff out of my bag my sunglasses my wallet my AirPods the microphone everything but guess what i did not care i would have i would have given it all up for a duck win such a tremendous time that's why i'm in pittsburgh right now i drove from pittsburgh to happy valley is two and a half hours stayed in clear view another two and a half hours away from happy valley i did the lord's work for that storm field field store nice it always makes me happy to see you happy that did not make it on sports center no i said sports center i ain't covering this field storm in the way they're not they're not and they should be covering this one because that's the most epic field storm versus a one person storm in the field look at the contrary but like
