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. Roximo.com. Please drink responsibly. Quervo. It's the Nissan Black Friday event where you can... Wait, wait. Isn't it like a month long now?

One of my favorite episodes of all time is, one of my favorite seasons is when they're trying to do the Seinfeld finale finale, right, the way it should have been done. But my favorite episode, episode that season is when Michael Richards is suffering from this disease and he's really worried and he doesn't want to do the show because he's worried about his health. And Larry David says, no, my boy Danny Duberstein had it and he's fine. And so Michael Richard says,

oh, can you put me in touch with him? And Larry says, sure. And he goes to Jeff and he says, Jeff, give me Danny Duberstein's number. I got to give it to Michael Richard. And Jeff's like, Danny Duberstein's dead. When did he die? Like two years ago. How did he die? He died of that disease that Kramer has. Like, it's a really serious disease. So Larry now realizes he can't tell Michael Richards Kramer this. So he gets Leon to dress up as Danny Duberstein to go tell him if everything's going to be okay.

And Michael Richard says, your name's Danny Divers. He's like, yeah. He's like, you're Jewish? You've been bar mitzvahs? You're like, three times. I thought it only happened once. Oh, no, sometimes you got to re-up the mitzvah. I bring all this up.

Because Azel turned to me and says, you know, I got some bar mitz for the gifts. I got a bar mitz for you. Well, maybe you will believe this. I don't know. I'll let you decide. I can't break the future. So my mother sends me a message yesterday, all right? She texts me and she tells me, Jonathan, can we, you know, can I come over this weekend?

You know, maybe we could do dinner at the house. I was going through a bunch of my stuff recently. And I found some very, she capitalized very. some very interesting stuff you may be interested in. Oh, no. I don't want to hear that from my mom. Now, I don't know how she thinks that I'm going to wait until Sunday to find out this very interesting thing that she's found.

So I said, of course, yeah, you can come over this weekend, but what did you find? All right. So when you're bar mitzvahed? Three times. It's only once. Sometimes you got to re-up the mitzvah. And my bar mitz, you feel like you haven't done the mitzvah recently?

You got to re-up it. My bar mitzvah was 31 years ago, okay? And you didn't play Golden Eye? I told you what I was doing. So when you get Bar Mitzvah, you get gifts. Get a lot of good gifts. But you always got that one or two or three family members who get you the shittiest gift possible.

A sweater. Oh, it's the equivalent of a sweater. The shittiest gift possible you can get when you're Bar Mitzvah. And all, no, man, Tradle is a terrible bar mitzvah guest for Hanukkah player. Just sit back and listen. Every Jewish young man knows exactly what the worst barmits for gift is that you could possibly get.

And the worst barmits for gift that you could possibly get is a bond. It's the worst. I was right there for everybody. We were all tripping over one another. We were like the Oklahoma Sooners coming out before our old mess. James Bond.

It's an Israeli bond. And you get the little note that they also planted a tree for you ass. All right. In Israel Leonard? In Israel, in Israel, yeah. Not even a U.S. bond. An Israeli bond.

It's basically the same thing. And they planted a tree for my ass, too. Now, I can't even tell you how much I don't care about either one of those things. A tree? I care about one of them very deeply. So, you get the Israeli bond, you forget about it. And my mother tells me she found a bunch of bonds from my bar mitzvah. Oh, all right, hold up.

She found a bunch of bonds that was. we're never cashed and have accrued money over the last 31 years. Are you a millionaire? Are you about to tell me you're a millionaire? And not only that, by the way, not only that, but a gift that I used to get when I was young as well, really young.

I used to have these Disney stocks. Oh, no. You're a millionaire. Shut the hell up. My mother found Disney stocks in my name from my little kid. Shut the hell on. And Israeli bonds

that I didn't give a shit. about for my bar mitzvah and i hate it as a gift well neither of those have been realized neither of them have been cashed and she's bring them to my house this weekend let's buy the seattle sounders there was do it that i don't have the exact number yet but they're worth thousands of dollars so how about that's that's hold up i got a guy what are you disappointing it's amazing how many thousands you didn't say tens of thousands i don't know yet but it's thousands of dollars say tens of thousands Time out. I have to explain something to the audio audience.

We just had a graphic go over our screen. When I say, to use the word amateur, does not begin to describe. Please run that graphic again to celebrate Zaz's newfound well. Yeah, look at that. Look at that. I'm like Richie Rich. I'm back anti-soro. That's right.

Anti-sora, man. What is that? So I'm about to be, I'm about to dive into it head first like Scrooge McDuck. So my mother, my mother is coming over with my bonds that I hated when I got for my bar mitzvah and a bunch of stocks from Disney, which I believe my parents got for me when I was a little kid. And neither of them have been cashed and now they're mine. Are you saying their current value, thousands of dollars or were they thousands of dollars back then? No, like the bonds, like here's a hundred dollar bond, you know?

Yeah, but how many ago? It's over 30 years. Right. That's monster. Right. Right. I need someone to look this up for me. Israeli bond 31 years ago, which is what?

19. 31 years ago? 94. 94. What's it worth today? I'm on it. I need to find out. And you said you have multiples of these.

Yeah. How many? Just so roughly you know. I don't know. I didn't ask. She's bringing it over. And then the Disney stock is from the 80s. Yeah, definitely.

Dog. He might be able to buy Pixar. What are you talking about? That's right. That's right. Found money. So you don't know exactly how much this is. I don't know.

But, but I can tell you, I already know what daddy's buying. All right. You want to take a stab at it, Mike? Las Vegas Aces. No, no, it's not. John Sina tickets. Bingo! Whoa!

That's price. That's right. That's right. Now we're going to see. Now I don't care how much those tickets are. Yo boy, we're going to see John Sina in D.C. next month. Saturday night's main event. Now, the question is, what is my wife going to say when she realized?

That's what I'm spending the money on. We blew all the money on. Because these tickets are very expensive. We're talking several thousand dollars to sit near the ring. And obviously, that's what your boy does when he goes to the big wrestling matches. So what is my wife going to say? I don't know. We're going to find out.

Does she know about the bonds in the stocks? I told her yesterday, yeah. Just explain to her that it's John Cena's last match. Yeah, she'll probably understand. No, why did I tell her? Because what's going to happen when I buy the John Cena tickets and she sees how much it costs? She's not going to see? Of course she's going to see.

Why would she see how they called? Because we have a bank account. No. What do you mean? We do have a bank account. You got to have another bank account. No, no. That's the shenanigans account.

I'm not one of these crazy couples that have separate channels. Yeah, got to have a shenanigans account. Shenanigans LLC. Come on, man. No, no, no. We have a mutual checking account. Shenanigans incorporated. Okay, well, I don't have one.

Excellent. Come on, man. So your boy's going to see John Sina because the lamest bar mitzvah gifts ever. That's right. Hold on. Your boy has to ask permission to see John C. All of this is wrong. Yeah?

Yeah. Which part? The fact that you might be sitting on substantial money and I get to see John Cina. Once I run it by my wife. No, no. There's no running it by my wife. That's exactly how that went. It's going to react.

Boys, I got some bad news. Uh-oh. Oh, no. The Zazlo Mansion may take a little bit of a hit here. The value of an Israeli bond from 1994 depends entirely on its face value specific to what type it is. Was it a Jubilee? Was it a Mazeltov or was it a Maccabee? I don't know.

Okay. And it's interest rate maturity date. Israeli bonds from 1984 would have matured some time ago. Most Israeli bonds have a maturity of up to 10 or 15 years, though some bond types are shorter or longer and generally do not accrue interest after maturity. Okay. Well, but when it matured, how much am I talking about here? I think it said from $100, it might be $164. No way.

Check out the Disney stock. No way. My mother told me it's thousands of dollars. She may have been wrong. How much Disney stock? Do we know? I don't know. Do you know, remember what year?

You said you're a little kid. 80s. It's got to be late 80s. 85, let's say 87? 87. Running man year. I thought these were the worst gifts, man. They are the worst gifts.

They're the worst gifts. No, they are the worst gifts. Killian. I'll be back. Only in a rerun. Oh, ass off. Richard Dawson, man. Yo, don't try and rain on my parade here, Tony.

I'm just trying to help you, buddy. My mother knows. She told me it's worth thousands of dollars. I don't know if she knows. She knows. What's chat about Miller Light? That's right. Football season is in high gear.

Stugats It's a good algorithm This is the Dan Levitar show With the Stugats Rob Tony does the research On the Disney stock from the late 80s I want to talk about how Mad Dog reacted to some of the Dodgers

kind of shenanigans to use that word again You have that clip? when you're a national broadcaster and you're the voice of the sport on a big stage when you did a million playoff games and then they in one of the crippling losses that a franchise is going to have in the history of the sport that's as bad a loser's never going to have and i got joe basically the body's not even cold yet and i got show at dodger stadium doing a freaking dodger parade oh my god that's bad i'm sorry i don't care what you say you can say i'm a guy i'm a you know uh screaming and yelling about nothing That would piss me off if I'm a Blue Jay fan.

I got Joe Davis shaking everybody's hand. Give me a freaking yamam shaking freaking, freaking Otani's hand, and he's freaking wacky's getting rings. He's been announcing for the World Series. You think Kirk Gowdy was getting any of this nonsense? Kirk Gowdy. You think Gargiola was doing a parade in 82 with the condo? I was wondering what he was doing.

Oh, my God. And he's got the trophy right there. God, if you're a Blue Jay fan, you're vomiting right now. Now, that is bad. I don't care what you say. That is, you could say I'm being hard. That's ridiculous. Chris, what's the big deal? He does that games. Nonsense!

He's the voice of the World Series face. He's supposed to be right down the middle. Obviously, he's wound his ass off for the Dodgers in the World Series. And everybody who I spoke to hated the idea. They sensed the result for the Dodgers throughout the World Series. And his call at the end was ridiculous. You got to be a champion and knock that, whatever he said about knocking a defending champion out. And then he's waxing poetic about.

Kershah at the end of the game that nobody in America cared about. Oh my God. That's bad. And that's wrong, and that's not the way you do it. I don't care. Call me anything you want. Call me an old man on a hill screaming. Get off my lawn. Say anything you want.

That's bogus. The Dodgers should be in... The Dodgers should have done it in my favorite Joe. You know what? You're the voice of the team. We just won a classic. When you lay low here, we'll get somebody else to do this. It's like he's on the lamb. We'll get Daniel.

David Vasay. There's the three and four. Why don't you lay low? This is not the time for you. You're the voice of baseball in postseason play. You can't be doing our parade, waxing poetic about us at the Blue Jay's expense. Wrong. Top of the hour.

He's going to get a ring, Joe Davis. Of course he is. He's the voice of the Dodgers. He's the only guy out of them, Vince Cully. We call Dodgers games. Right. For people to understand, not only is Joe Davis the voice of the Dodgers, but in that parade, like he's the MC.

Which is typical. Yes. Fitzgerald up in Golden State. He's the MC every time they want a championship. Steve Goldstein each year, the Panthers, absolutely. Like, that's typical. Yes. If the Knicks win the championship,

Mike Breed is going to be doing that. Yeah, you would have been. Mike Green is also the guy. I guess that's the difference in that Joe Davis and Mike Breed are also the guys that do the call for the national broadcast. Yeah. But I think all of us can agree. They're very professional.

I never watched that and for one moment thought, oh, this guy wants the Dodgers to win. I got to tell you, if I'm a Blue Jays fan, like dogs going nuts over it, if I'm a Blue Jays fan, God, I don't care. I just don't care. I want to vomit because we lost. Not because the guy who called the game.

It's like, well, that's him at the parade. What's he doing there? I do agree with Dogg there. I didn't like the final call. You didn't like it? I thought it was a weird funny. They always try to do something like with graviv. Yeah, I'm with dog on that one.

I didn't like it. So you think it was nonsense? He's the voice of the world series. He's supposed to be right down the middle. Obviously he's rooted in the ass on of the time. Yumma. Yeah, if we can get just the mark. Can we find yam?

It was a clutch move. Like, he knew, oh, I'm in trouble here. I don't have that one. Parishabishab. He pulled the red cord. By the way, doing a little investigating here on the Disney stocks. How much will I owe? How much do I have?

Now you're talking. Okay. The Israeli bonds? Cooked. So I don't think it's cooked, man. I think I get a lot of money on my way. I don't think you know how bonds work, buddy. I don't think you know how bonds work.

But with stocks, okay, so I'm looking at 1987 is kind of the year that we said. Could be earlier, could be later, but whatever. The price for those Disney stocks was $348 at that time. Disney's trading right now for $109. There you go. A little bit of a down year for Disney. But to what Mike said, what I was looking up, what I wanted to see is there's been many stock splits. That's good when they split.

So for people that don't know in the investing world, a stock gets to a certain point, they split it and it creates more stocks, right? So there was a March of 1986, so hopefully you got them in before 86, which we don't know. But there was a four-for-one stock split. Then in May of 92, another four-for-one stock movie. That's 16 if you're looking. When the movie started rolling out, they were like, oh, we got this. July of 98, a three-for-one stock split. So now we're looking at even more.

I'm pretty sure I'm rich now. The most recent split. June 07. Give me my money graphic. One for one split. So you're looking at 4, 4, 3, and another split. I'm looking at being rich is what we're looking at. So you're looking at potentially.

Again, we don't know the number of stocks you have. We'll find that out when your mom shows up. Probably enough to retire. Better hope. 342 to 109. Split. But with all the splits involved in all that. Split 11 ways or more.

All right, if I'm not here Monday, you know why. Give me a freaking, y'amama, shaking freaking, uh... No mama. I found out why it's called begonia. What's it called borgia? Pagonia refers to a classical myth about a ritualistic method to spontaneously generate bees from a sacrifice bull's carcass. Now, part of the backdrop of this film is the two kidnappers blame this tech CEO for a bee colony collapse. Yomama.

Hey, you guys want to play a game? Let's play a game. What do you got? I got real or fake podcasts. Oh, I love this game. Listen up. Time to think fast. Is this a real or fake podcast? That's pretty much the rules. You guys have to figure out if something is a real or fake podcast.

Sometimes it may seem easy. Sometimes it may seem very difficult. But we have fun along the way. First one up. Okay. The Keith Bullock show. That's just what's called? Does Keith Bullock?

Or fake podcast? So the question here is, does Keith Bullock have a podcast? Right. Yeah, so I'm going to go real then. Don't look it up. I'm not looking at anything off. No, not. Text message.

Not looking at anything up. How dare you? I'm going to go fake. It's too straightforward. I don't think he has a podcast. The Keith Bullock Show is fake. Yeah. Oh.

Just too straightforward. Although I like it. I like it as a change up there, Mike. Free Range with Vaughn Miller. Oh, that's real. I'm going fake. That's real. Vaughn.

What does free range mean? Like cowboy shit, man. He always be wearing a cowboy hats and stuff. He's not cowboy. He's cowboy. He's cowboy. He's cowboys. He's cowboys.

He's got chickens. Yep. Free range. I'm going real. It is a brand. new real podcast. I'm two for two. Megapod with Calvin Johnson.

Does Calvin, I feel like if Calvin Johnson had a podcast, we would have heard about it. And also, wouldn't have called it Megapod. Why? His nickname is Megatron. I know, but Megapod. It almost makes too much sense. Just admit you didn't know that was his nickname. I didn't know the Georgia Tech grad is named Megatron.

I'm going real. I'm going to go fake. Fake. Three for three, baby. Next one. Pugilist Specialist with Lennox Lewis. Wordy, way too erudite. That sounds like Lennox Lewis to me.

By the way, do you guys know this? He grew up with Russell Peters, the stand-up comedian. Like, they're friends. Like, his mom knows him and everything. Perhaps it's something they cover in Pugilus Specialist. I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go real. Zaz? He's thinking.

Yeah, come on, man. You know what pugilus means? Yeah, no, do I look like someone who doesn't know what pugilus means? He looked like a little confused, buddy. All right, stop talking. I'm going real. Tony, you want to venture a guess?

It's fake. It is indeed fake. Oh, I'm three for four. And finally, clipboard Jesus with Charlie Whitehurst. That's funny. That's got to be fake. No one's calling himself to Jesus.

His nickname, when he played was clipboard Jesus because you know that? Real. I actually didn't know that. Ah, someone didn't know a nickname, huh? I'm going real. It is fake. Ah, shit. Free for five. And it's a tough game. Three for five? Hey, that's still a success. This game

can be really hard sometimes. I did it. I did it, man. I lived it. You know what I love? I love, I watch Pluto TV and they always have ads for what's my man, the fighter and the and the kid or whatever, that podcast, they have a million ads for it every time. And I'm just like, should I be advertising on Pluto TV?

Because I don't know if you know this, Zas. Pluto TV is the future. Why? What's so good about it? I always see the app. We're going back to channel surfing, pal. Oh, man. Oh, really?

Yeah. I always see the app, but I never click on it. You got YouTube, you got Disney fighting. I'm sick of all of it. I pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars, probably equal to the Israeli bonds that you have in streaming services. Man, you pay a lot then. And still, I sit down and I'm like, I don't want to watch any of this stuff.

I miss, as a child that grew up in the 90s, I miss channel surfing. You just grab a remote and go up, up, up, and then you see something on your screen that's already in progress. And I'm like, you have my attention. I'm a Pluto TV guy now. Pluto TV. Let me tell you where Pluto TV is most clutch. The most clutch. Do you have to pay subscription for it? It's free.

It's free. It's free. Gratis. Yeah. Mad ads. And what channels is it get? You get ads. Not any more ads than regular television.

Yeah, regular television ads. What kind of channels you get? Dude, the channels are outstanding. If you like movies, we got that. There's just a 90s movie channel that Forrest Gump was playing. So why don't I have Pluto app? Just get it. I don't understand why you don't have the Pluto app.

So this is the new thing. Mike, you travel a lot. I do. You see more and more of these hotels. I know exactly where it's the most clutch. Where? Airbnbs. Slash hotels.

I don't do it. You get into the hotel room and I'm like, okay, you got local news. all right, oh, MSNBC, NBC of Hawks and all that. Well, hello, you got a Pluto TV, I get in there, and all of us that, you know what I'm doing? I'm tuning into that bar rescue channel. Yes? I'm watching back to back to back to back.

They have a channel that just shows bar rescue episodes. At random. They have fans that just show, you like I love Lucy? I love Lucy. You might be, Jonathan Zaslo may say to himself, man, I love Lucy. I don't. Well, there's an entire channel dedicated to I love Lucy. Did you like MTV?

But in the 90s, we got a channel for you. Zaz, how about the A-Team, would you like to just watch the 18th episodes back-to-back-to-back? I like the 18th. You have an 18th channel. Hey, do you want to watch black movies from the 90s specifically? And they'll hit you over the head right on the nose. That's what it's called. Black movies from the 80s.

Wow. The Golden Child, followed by Beverly Hills Cop. Yeah. On Pluto app at any given time, booty call is on, Forrest Gump is on, Predator is on. All of them. And Bob Ross, just painting away. 24-7. Non-stop?

Not really. Are you high off your ass? Want to melt in your couch? Bob Ross Channel. Did I mention that they have a bar rescue channel? And if you love bar rescue, there's a new podcast called Here's the Science of Bar Rescue. Bar Rescue podcast. It's me.

It's Zach Harper. It's Chelsea Reynolds. It's Collin'casters. Get it wherever you get podcasts. Support it, especially if you work in the industry. Especially, we're having guests. If you work in the industry, especially if you worked at a bar that was rescued, a bar rescued bar, you're going to come on our show. We're going to come on our show.

We're going to ask you about the experience. That's a great title for the pod. Here's the science. Yeah, I love how he would just... Was your bar rescued by bar rescue? Did you just give people... Did you know? Here's a science!

Mike, did you know that if you get a customer to order food, they're more likely to stay up to 50 minutes longer? I do know that. Yeah. That's the kind of science you learn on here's a science. But back to Pluto TV. Dude, I saw... It is the future.

I saw a bartender scoop ice with the glass. Oh, no. And I scream, shut it down. Yeah. You can't be doing that. Why can't you do that? Because you can break the glass! You're going to kill.

Kill somebody. Kill somebody. Y'amama. Ice looks like glass. You got to burn it. You don't know this? No, I don't know about Pluto. That's what we're talking about it.

We're talking about bars. It used to be a planet. Telling you. Pluto TV. We're all going to go back. We're going back, Jack. If you watch, I love what WPLG did, which is like, we don't need ABC. We'll just be live and local.

We're just going to concentrate on local. They even have some heat games. like we're we're just if you live in Miami we're for you WPLG that's how I learned that's how I learned about the fire as everything is artificial and algorithm people are going to be

gravitating to something that is grittier real more real more sense of community and also they're going to realize man this shit was better in the 90s oh my god I miss channel surfing and Pluto TV does that It says, you know what I love?

So, for instance, that Bar Rescue Channel, one would think, I was like, oh, okay, so they start with season one, episode one, and then two. No, no, no, no, no. It's all random. It's all random from all eras of the Bar Rescue show. It reintroduces that feeling of mystery. I don't know what's coming next.

That's the thing that kids are missing. They don't know about that. How you used to be turned on the TV, like, oh, this is my favorite episode of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. And then you just sit down, And then the next episode is like, wait, Aunt Viv is back to the old Aunt Viv. Yeah, because that's how it is, man. I was watching the Bob Ross channel last night, and I saw a rerun.

It was one that I saw when I was in an Airbnb in D.C. For MLS also, I'm like, I've seen this one. This one's great. I watched the whole thing twice.

I honestly want to strip away all my other apps here in Utah. Right now, like, there's no reason. Why am I HBO Maxing?

You are on there. That's why I'm HBO Maxing. Let me tell you something. They told me you're destitute. All you can afford is your internet bill, and that's it. Can't afford Netflix. That's not so bad. Look, I'd miss them.

I'd miss them. But you know what will keep me warm at night? Pluto TV. It's just great for one you don't know what to watch. By the way, they also have an on-demand section. I'm going to miss my sports. I'm going to miss my sports. I like my Premier League soccer.

That's why I keep it on the cock. Yeah, love the cock. Yes, but movies flipping through Sometimes you don't know what you want to watch And you need them to speak to you Can I say something? Let me speak directly to our friends at NBC and Peacock Go look where at your camera

They do have fast channels They do have some of those They do, they do have fast channels And I do appreciate them You like that Stone Phillips, they got you This is what I need from them though Look right into your camera I need insights to excellence

A Fast channel for that I was looking for it this week Didn't get an episode Oh, they're making you yearn for it. Getting antsy. Isn't it a little crazy that he used one of these episodes to lament, load management? I didn't lament. Why is that crazy?

He didn't lament. Well, because he did this all in one shooting. He didn't lament it, Michael. He didn't lament it. Lamental ball. I mean, I'd like to see fresh ones. I'd like for him to talk about Tiago. This is fresh.

Have you seen it before? It's fresh then. But I like for him to react to Tiago Splitter and this incredible turnaround of the Portland Trail. I wanted to hear about Tar Easton. Tell me more about Kaysen Wallace. A.J. Mitchell is getting more minutes. Tell me more, Michael. Definitely real names that I've heard before.

Oh, man. I just want, just right here. Give me a belt. You got a belt? No, man. You wear belts? No. I don't mean either.

Trying to be comfortable, dog. I don't wear belts ever. Yeah, me neither. Never want a belt. You only end up on this inside to excellence? I like it. Yeah, I like it, too. I like it.

I like it. Yeah, I don't like the way. the tone. I like it. Why? It's great. I want more of it. I want more of it.

That's why I said I like it. I'm just like, I like them. I was disappointed Peacock this week. Like, where was it? That's why I only said I like it because I was looking for it this week and I couldn't find it. Let me tell you right now. You give me some sense. Instead, I got Atlanta and Orlando.

Good game. Yeah, but no insights to excellence in the middle. Yeah, good game though. All right, here we go. Right here. Wow. I need insights into excellence right there. That's what I need it.

Right there. make me uncomfortable. It is it? I mean, that's how you get the veins popping, man. You ever play train spotting? You know about the train spotting? Yeah, I know about train spotting, but I never played train spotting. You spot the train then?

You have a free base? Buddy. Richard Pryor did. I invented freebasey. Too soon. Too soon. Too soon. Come on, that.

Respect the legend. You got singed eyebrows, man. Oh, Mountain Dew bottle. Look, here's the deal, man. Some people like to play it fast and loose. Get some of that Bolivian. Yeah. Marching.

You don't have to deal with any of the nose stuff. Mm-mm. Too uncomfortable. Start to sneezing. Now everyone's mad. You just need a hit. Just one. Just one. You don't have to deal with the nose running at all?

This is stuff that people that I know have done this have told me. No. Yes. Look, man. You out here? It's like you're a bird. You see this? You see this around the Elser?

All these turkey vultures? Gliding. You know what they're doing? They're free-basing. That's what it's like? That's what it's like, baby. You'll be chasing that first time for the rest of your life.

Oh, my gosh. Or so they say. Wow. It sounds great. Right around the corner. But it will destroy your lives. That's what insights to excellence feels like to me.

You'll destroy your life? Like, I'm going to abandon all of my responsibilities. That's why, Tony. That's why they give it to us in microdoses. Because if they gave you the whole shebang, too much. We'd all be like, it'd be like Pulp Fiction.

someone needs to stab us in the heart with an adrenaline needle. Wake us up. O.T. adrenaline shot. Yeah, man. Could you do that? Do you think you could do that someone? Like, can I be the person? Would you ever, like... Can you be evisivated? Yeah, you look around like, okay, I guess I'm the person that has to put this

adrenaline needle in Uma Thurman's heart. I could do it. You think you could? You think you'd do it? Got to smash through the breastplate, though. Yeah. I could do it. You could? You could have a stab her three times? Like, no bit? No, you don't got a stab her three times. No bit? Like, would you? Could you?

you know what the heart is right yeah yeah you know of it Tony can the Rockets keep this up all season long it's a good point I'm looking around saying all right two big three big five big lineup like is at some point I mean like Amman Thompson gonna be the answer point guard obviously Fred Van Vili we know he's out

feels like they're not gonna make a trade for a point guard anywhere so it's like all right we're gonna let Amman play yeah why do they need one like he's a really big point guard sure but like he's still super raw and super green at playing the position right it's like the same thing as cooper flag like oh we're playing him at point it doesn't mean he's got 82 games figure it out sure okay but then when everything slows down in the playoffs is he going to be 82 games worthy of like all right i know what i'm doing versus having his entire career playing basketball knowing how to play point like at some point

something's got to come to a head either they're going to be the biggest team and just mall everybody or they're going to get to a point where in the half court it's going to be like oh shit katie here's the ball try and do something i like the idea like they played memphis last night and they went small and by small i mean They started Thompson, Jabari Smith, Shingoon, Joshua, Kogi, Kevin Durant. Everybody's like 6'10. It's like that. That's their small lineup.

Like, Thompson in the playoffs, decision-making left a lot to be desired. And it was understandable. Energy, young guy, first time in the playoffs, playing against Golden State Steph Curry. So there is some jitters there, but I hear what you're saying. It's like, you need that kind of old head. Fred Van Vleet, Mike Conley. These guys are just like, everyone settle down. I got you.

Don't panic. I know they've scored a couple. What we're going to do is we're going to organize this thing and get it going. Another good game for Jaa last night. Why are you on John, man? It's the biggest story in the league right now. What do you mean, why am I on Jha? You know, I'm monitoring him?

Got I'm monitoring him, but like I'm not going to be like, oh, yeah, here it goes, John, another 6 or 19 performance. Why wouldn't you? Because I know what's happening. What's happening is he is at odds with his. coach. And by the way, they asked him about that too. Do you guys see this? Toama Yiselo? Last night. Last night because Jaron Jackson didn't have a great game either. And so they were asking him about that. And he said, and I've got the quotes right here,

believe me. It was a weird start though, too, because Jaron Jackson, like, you figure, all right, if they're not building around Jod, they're going to build around Jaron Jackson. But then he has six shots in a game and you're like, who are we building around? He said his efficiency has been up about Jaron Jackson. I think he's shooting the best, blah, blah, blah. Obviously, for us in this situation, we'd love to have them more involved in the offense. Like today, I'm looking at these numbers and they are what they are. I can't really trust them.

So obviously, the half-court offense is not in sync. And it looks at, by the way. How do you feel about the energy levels? Like I said, very inconsistent. It comes and it goes. We need to do a better job. You're in the NBA. You know what you need to do unless you don't.

And that's the weird part about it, right? like it just seems like everybody's in flux in Memphis and you got one guy who's fighting with the organization you got one guy who got paid and he's like I guess I'm going to do what they tell me to do even though like I don't really know what we're doing just a weird situation anyways all your favorite NBA players are back
