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

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

Tommy Paul takes on Carlos Alcaraz. Alcaraz is on clay. He's great, however, head to head, four and two. Tommy Paul does pretty well against Alcaraz. This is the preferred surface, though. However, if you watch Alcaraz, he usually drops his set to an inferior opponent. He did so yesterday against an American. So I think Tommy Paul can hang around and at least get a set. So I'm taking Tommy Paul

plus two and a half against the Sprint. Third Paul brother. No relation. He's hard to beat by the Alcaraz on clay. I know from playing top spin. This guy's amazing. Yeah. Wednesday, June 4th, 2025, the Edmonton Oilers will be hosting the Florida Panthers. The prize, well for that game the prize is just a 1-0 series lead. But overall in the series the prize, Lord Stanley's Cup.

The Edmonton Oilers, who famously lost last year's Stanley Cup, are one and a half goal favorites. They have the Billy Hamilton of hockey, some are saying. I'm gonna take the Florida Panthers plus one and a half in Edmonton. Normally here, I would say, I don't know if they're gonna lose the game or win the game, but I don know if they're gonna lose the game or win the game, but I don't think they're gonna lose by two goals.

Friends, they may win by three goals. They may not, but they may. That's why I'm gonna take the Florida Panthers. I am embarrassed to admit this, but I am impressed with Logan Paul as a wrestler. He survived the Uso Frog Splash and John Cena's heel turn the other day, and I was just impressed. I was just impressed by him as a wrestler. I wasn't expecting to be watching wrestling on Saturday night. How you doing on confidence? Because you just mentioned John Cena's heel turn in the middle of the... That Uso Frog Splash is taking down his name. It's like wrestling on Saturday night. How you doing on confidence? Cause you just mentioned John Cena's heel turned in the middle of that.

That Uso Frog Splash taking down his name. It is, it's tough to kick out of. Logan Paul's a natural at it. He's really good at it. I'm jealous at how good he is at just picking something up that is very hard to pin down. How do you feel about R-Truth getting released there, Dan? Not nearly as bad as the rest of the locker room felt, huh?

They've been very vocal about that. I do think, wait wait is the portal open? I think I think TKO and WWE should tread very lightly I don't know if you guys saw what they did But they had the Rock made a whole big deal about announcing New Orleans. We're coming here for WrestleMania deals done We'll see you and then a couple weeks later like hey actually no, New Orleans You get another show. And New Orleans did not like this. They just chased the money and decide,

wrestling fans, wrestling world, back to back years in Las Vegas. No one wants to see the same venue. They don't do that. That's unprecedented. Outside of like the early part of WrestleMania, where they ran back to back at Trump's Atlantic City Resort. This is not something that we do. Why do you do this? Well, there's more money for TKO to grab with the infrastructure of Las Vegas and

have a whole bunch of pop ups over there. TKO has been all about the money. Nikon's been amazing at generating revenue. However, and I don't think they'll actually lose viewers in this, but what you're gonna do is give a passionate fan base a voice that they often exercise. I think this is very bold of WWE to continue chasing the dollars, price out some of their die hard fans. You're making an alternative more desirable. I think if you keep pushing on this because that's an insane heat check to announce a

WrestleMania take it away from a market that has hosted several before and put it back in Las Vegas. That's as transparent of a revenue grab as possible. I do think you run the risk of running people off. Okay, this is interesting though. You're really making the argument on behalf of cheapening wrestling with a soullessness that is about greed and commerce. You're saying that you cheapen the wrestling fan's real passion if you price him or her out because you just grabbed dollars greedily. When has that ever stopped the NFL?

It hasn't. And when has it ever really stopped WWE? I would note that if you follow history, they ran house shows at a loss so parts of America could have access to seeing their favorite superstars because they realize over time that's a long investment. They did the Saudi thing. TKOs come in, they've totally revolutionized and maximized their business model. However, they do things that kind of push the diehards away.

Now the diehards are the diehards for a reason. They stuck around through the 20 teens, there's nothing that you can do to shake these people off. But I do think as you go head to head in markets and try to cut off AEW, they very clearly view AEW as a competitor, despite AEW not really being a competitor financially. It's apples and oranges, but they want to squash their competition. They want to make it so they can have a monopoly again.

And I do think that a very vocal fan base, such as professional wrestling fans are, will take the opportunity if you give them one and you're inventing an opportunity right now by doing this with these cash grabs I myself am feeling I'm like this kind of feels a little bit more superficial than it used to still be there though That always yeah, that's the thing. No, see, that's the thing though. That's why all of Those threats are empty and that's why diehards are diehards. All of that is frustrated bluster to just say, you cheapen my sport, you run the risk of losing me. No they don't.

That's why they get- How close was the Frog Splash kick out, just out of curiosity? It was very close. I thought it was over. It was almost three or later. I thought it was over, it was clearly over. It had to be over, nobody surprised it.

Nobody survives that, right? I think if you paid attention to what they were doing with the ticket sales and how tickets just get released closer that you get to bell ring, like there's, I don't think there's the same kind of interest because they're chasing a more affluent type of fan. And I think certain fans are gonna be priced out

of going to shows and that's how you fortify a big following, that's how you establish these connections. That's how you have little kids high five Jey Uso and you're like, wow, my day has been made. I'm a fan for life. I do think that they're going to end up pushing people to an alternative because they may not be able to afford being able to go to shows. As I say, let's just climb over all of the problematic stuff around Logan Paul and oh more impressive than I thought as a wrestler. Art from artist. Greg Cody the thing that I wanted to ask you that I wasn't sure why it was being brought up earlier is I heard you simply talking about both hitchhikers and what

you were calling the age of hitchhikers. I understand that this is a featured topic on a upcoming episode of the Greg Cody hitchhikers. I understand that this is a featured topic on a upcoming episode of The Greg Cote Show featuring Greg Cote. As Greg Cote fills us with tales of an America where people would hitchhike long before the popularity of the serial murderer. Yeah, it's actually in the current episode

of The Greg Cote Show with Greg Cote that's out today. Drops every Monday wherever you pod and Also, check us out visually on our YouTube channel Yeah, the gold I was very fortunate to grow up in the gold what I call the golden age of hitchhiking Which I would say was the early 70s to mid 70s. It was a fairly small window for me also the golden era of murders well I'm in my teens and into my early 20s and this was the golden age of hitchhiking and yes I did partake I thumbed a couple of times but mostly if

I was in a car with another buddy of mine this is when Greg Cody had long hair and you know I was never a hippie. I was actually too young to be a full-fledged hippie but you know we partook a little bit and so if we're in a car and we see a thumb on the side of the road and it looks like somebody simpatico who may be carrying something that we could torch up you know maybe we're gonna pick him up. Whoa partook! You know we're gonna pick him up. You know? Whoa, partook! Maybe we're, you know, we're gonna give him a, you know. So you were, you were.

Let's follow that, what are you gonna give him? Well, he gives us a couple, we give him a few miles, he gives us a couple of tokes, and we call it a day. You know, we let him off around the bend, give him a wave, give him a bro wave, and then we're gone. Yeah. Never meet any friends that way, Greg, or no? No. No? No. No memorable stories? No friends that way, Greg, or no? No.

No? No. No memorable stories? No, these are, these are, these are short, uh. These are just stories to be told as grandpa tells you the stories of his ribald past. Right. And he admits for the first time publicly to...

No, no, we've admitted that before. Look, I'm not, I'm not a saint, believe me. So when you, that's when you were the person picking up the hitchhiker, when you were hitchhiking, would you bring a little something to like, you know, like, hey, I got a little something to cinch you, that's how it works apparently, you're looking for people to smoke with.

Yeah, no, I'm looking for people to provide. No, I'm saying when you're hitchhiking. When you were thumbing. Oh, yeah. Would you have something like, hey guys, I got a little something? No, no, no, no, no. So when you're hitchhiking. And you were thumbing. Oh yeah. Would you have something like, hey guys, I got a little something. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, so when you're hitchhiking.

Right, yeah, you gotta be careful. What'd you do for, just a thrill or you need to get somewhere? I needed to get somewhere. Yeah. You know, that was back in the day and you know, the Opel GT station wagon was in the shop. Yeah. I had to get someplace, you know.

It's not that different than Uber, right? You're getting in a stranger's car. You don't know that. Yeah, that's a very good point by Billy. Because he's right, you know, everybody thinks, oh hitchhiking, how dangerous, who would do that? You're calling an Uber. You got a total stranger picking you up and God knows what kind of vehicle. Yeah. You know. Well, you usually know because it'll tell you. Hey, you know, everything's a dice roll now. Exactly. It's really not. Yeah. You get an exact license plate. No, sometimes you look and they tell you but hey, you know, everything's a dice roll now exactly really not Yeah, you get an exact license No, sometimes you look and they tell you now the other cars in the shop You're like, I hope this person's telling me the truth, right? Murders and rapists really ruin hitchhiking, huh? I guess they ruin everything for the most part. Yeah, they really do

They don't know how to have fun those people. Well, I mean their fun is different than what we would define as fun Which is what gets them in trouble. You know, eventually hitchhiking became against the law. Yeah. They outlawed it. It was all, even back in the day, it was against the law to hitchhike on like a major highway. For now. You never saw a thumb on 95.

Yeah. But you could do it in the back roads. And now, and then they outlawed even that. So you know, but it was easy to hitchhike if it was against the law because you saw a cop car coming a mile away. And you said, I'm stretching out the old so, you know, but it was easy to hitchhike if it was against the law, because you saw a cop car coming a mile away. And you said, I'm stretching out the old thumb, you know. Just act like you're scratching your head. Exactly.

You go like this, and you go, ah, I'm just saying. You slow down, you say, I'm just giving you a thumbs up for job well done driving. Thank you for your service. Thank you for your protection, officer. Put it on. Dan, you ever hitchhike? Put it on of thing, yeah. Dan, you ever hitchhike? Put it on the poll, no. At Levitard Show, did murders and rapists

ruin hitchhiking? I doubt it. Are you saying that they made it better, Dan? That's a take. I'm putting up a poll question. I'm not saying anything. I'm just putting up a funny poll question. You and Greg Cody talking about hitchhikers,

hitchhikers and Greg specifically, talking about his tawdry past that I want Chris the investigator to continue asking him questions because it seems like Greg was only getting into cars and then bumming weed off of people. It doesn't seem like- No, it seems like he had this standard

that if he was gonna pick up a hitchhiker, they needed to have something to smoke. But when he was hitchhiking, he never felt the need to supply, like, hey, I got something we could smoke. No, I mean, come on, you didn't carry it around. But you're saying that you were hoping someone that was hitchhiking did carry it around. During your most dangerous days, because you really are looking back fondly at what a rascal you were, at what a scoundrel you were back when you were a hippie hitchhiker.

What I'm trying to convey is that back then, it was pretty common, okay? It was common to- So it's like, I gotta go to the store, what are my options? I could drive or I could just go out and hitchhike? You did it a couple of times, you know? I'm not overselling it. I didn't spend, nobody spends 10 years hitchhiking,hiking okay hitchhiking is sort of a sad thing you

do it when your cars beat beat up and broke down or you do it just you know you you pick up somebody for ulterior reasons which in my case had to do with you know a puff here a puff there did people ever have the thing from Pee Wee Herman like the stick and like the thing attached to it and then no you're talking about hobo. I did ride the rails for a time You never know great colorful life, you know my dad hitchhiked from Sudan to Europe What yeah like just ferries and boats and trucks and stuff like that all the way through Didn't even speak the language take a ferry is it hitchhiking? Can we put that on the pole? I mean I hitchhike on a boat Yeah, I think it's possible

Levitard show can you hitchhike on a boat at Levitard show or can you hitchhike? Not on a boat. It would be hitchhiking from your boat in the ocean with your thumb up like hey but a cruise ship stop all right you guys though this is the problem things are moving a little too fast I think you guys all missed Greg Cody adding another catchphrase to his repertoire and you guys didn't even hear it was it a little dab will do you under his breath and nobody heard it because there were too many shots going off around here and I don't even understand the context you were using it in because it's I've never heard you say

that before right yeah it's a popular phrase from back in the day grill cream a little dab will do you you know in this case you know you you know you take a puff you know the joints were passed around you have a cream a little dab will do you you know in this case you know you you know you take a puff You know the joints were passed around you have a puff How would that work you just like the person gets in like Totally believe him all of a sudden like the stories talking a big game the stories got so few details that now I think he's just making up stories. We can't verify that he hasn't had tried detail making up stories we can't verify that he hasn't hitchhiked. What do you mean by detail? What do you want?

This is just nerd. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Is hitchhiking kind of sad? Dad, give us a detailed story of you picking someone up, they had weed to smoke. Any kind of story from 50 years ago. Okay. Wild, crazy hitchhiking Greg Cody. Alright, let me give you a bulletin here.

When you pick up someone while hitchhiking, the first thing you do is, you know, okay, could you give me your ID please? Show me your driver's license, because I gotta make sure you're on the up and up before I give you a lift for two and a half miles. That's not the way it works, kid. That's just not the way it works. What do you say, which way you're heading, stranger? Yeah, you know, that kind of thing.

Is it just expected that whichever way you're heading, they go? Well, yeah, they're walking on that side of the road. Yeah, you're not gonna turn around. You're not gonna say, hey, buddy, where can I take you? Where do you wanna go? That'd be a jerk move. Yeah.

But I'm like, I'm actually heading the other way. I'm going on a straight line. If you wanna come with me for a mile and a half, go ahead. I mean, why are you walking on that side of the road? Yeah, that's true. That's fair. If you're going in the other direction, you'd pick the other road.

Yeah, I've never, I never whipped a U-turn on behalf of someone I just picked up. Wow, so how do you, like, is it awkward at the beginning when you're trying to see if they're carrying anything or you just flat out would ask on like, It's, it's, you know, it's, What's a good, You don't pick somebody up unless you read.

Yeah. What's a good icebreaker for a hitchhiker? Grass, ass, or cash? There you go. No. Can you a good icebreaker for a hitchhiker? Grass, ass, or cash? There you go. No. Can you turn off that music please? I've had enough of that music. Greg Cody has run out of material here.

He's tired of being badgered. Look at him. He looks like he's been beaten down by this interrogation. He looks like Dylan Brunson in Game 6. Yes, you look tired. There were holes in the story. I feel like- There were no holes in the story. Thank you, boys got Heiner. Yeah. I like him. You look tired. There were holes in the story. I feel like there were no holes in the story.

Surely every time you're watching this, you recognize that your wife is laughing, that she married Larry David. Yeah, I do, yeah. Surely, every time you're watching this, you recognize that your wife is laughing that she married Larry David. Yeah, I do, yeah. One of the great characters in the history of television, in my humble opinion. And to my credit, my personality- In my humble opinion, followed by to my credit.

To my credit. It's amazing. It's just amazing. To my credit, my personality does predate Curb Your Enthusiasm. Stugats! Oh wow. I'm not going to say Larry David patterned himself after me. Alright, put it on the poll please Jude.

You did Greg Cody copyright Being an Asshole long before Larry David. This is the Don LeBathard Show with the Stugats! Billy you saw Gronk on a scooter this weekend? I saw a video of Gronk on a scooter, but it was around this area. This would be a good- By the Arsch Center, I think. Area for Gronk to be on a scooter. I meant to ask you guys this question.

Can you look this up for me? There are so many electric bikes right now in South Florida that there must be more hospitalizations than there have ever been in South Florida because so many people are Getting around this way all over South Florida Dan early in the show you were Incredulous that a Toyota Corolla could carry a million dollars worth of gold bricks Yeah, I'm incredulous that a scooter could carry Gronk. How's it not scraping? Why are there not sparks coming out of the bottom of this thing? Oh my god, man And I think he hit the car that was like doing a video of him with the joking watch where you're going asshole

Classic boys as you can see going, you know in between lanes possibly down the wrong side of the road None of this is safe. This is safe to the other people. It's not safe for anybody Across an intersection rocks fine as this video ends. He's's just cutting across an intersection. Bronx fine. As this video ends, he is just illegally cutting across an intersection. What'd you guys do? Jeez, what is with you guys in laws today? Do me the favor please, just do me the favor, find for me whether electric bike hospitalizations are up.

They must be, they have to be. They have to be, yeah. Because I'm constantly hearing bikes that weren't meant to move that fast, that are heavy, moving at a high rate of speed, making a noise that makes them like vehicles that if you crash on them, you're gonna break bones. Then, I don't know if you know this,

so in Santa Monica, hospitalizations did go up, they ended up having to ban these things, but it wasn't what you think, it wasn't because people were crashing, it's because the users would get done, and then they would splay them all over the sidewalk, and elderly people walking would trip over them and so there was an increase in hospitalizations due to that not because of people. I don't believe that

story you're telling. No, I do. That is ridiculous. You're gonna have to get out of here. No. Get out of here. That story's not in any way true. Major penalty, five minutes, screwing comedy. You happy making this up? Why would he make that up? On the spot? Yeah. Oh, no.

Oh, no. Oh, no. That's a cheap ploy to get Greg Coney involved. Tell me you're happy. He had to say elderly. You couldn't just say people were tripping over. You had to use the first elderly. Chris, give me some hospital numbers

before I get to get to Billy here because Billy did something that seemed really kind and and began our work day today with applause. Billy was got a hero's welcome today for coming in and bringing gifts with him. E-bikes compared to traditional bicycles between 2017 and 2022 injuries doubling annually and hospitalizations increasing by 43 fold between 2017 and 2022. I have no idea what 43 fold, I imagine that means 43 times. Gari, that's crazy though. I'm looking and I'm seeing between 2020 and 2021,

there was a massive spike in hospitalizations. Doesn't say for what though. Yeah. Could have been bug bites. There were more scooters around back then. And then local governments had to rein it in. Billy, why did you get applause when you walked in today? You were beaming.

You were radiant. I don't do things for applause, but I came in, I had a tray of some pastelitos that I wanted to come and bring my coworkers, my colleagues here, dare I say friends, this morning for breakfast. Now, as you can see, it's still there, it seems like it was untouched, so I'm kinda regretting bringing that, doesn't seem like anyone really wanted that.

Look, I inhaled about three or four. I feel like every once in a while, we get this type of thing where somebody brings a little something they had from their house. So something from the weekend. And I feel like a lot of times it's just trying to clear shit out of your house, right? You have like this in your kitchen and you're like,

I'm never gonna eat these, I gotta get rid of them. Just bring them to your office. All right. I don't understand that. That's how the conversation happens. Good gesture, I don't think that you have to go and start questioning whether or not, you know, I had a party yesterday and I was left over.

So I decided to bring them into the office look here's the thing those could have gone to my wife's office they came to this office I do the same thing you got the bocaditos I do know can I ask you a question about bocaditos because I'm not a fan that's why I like bocaditos and I tried something for the first time at a birthday party on Friday I I think the Cuban finger food is elite. It's right up there with charcuterie in terms of best finger food. The Cuban bocaditos, what's that paste

in the middle of the two sweet breads? It's magical. Bocaditos bread. Okay, so that's magical. Yeah, you could buy that. I had never, one thing that I had on Friday that I had never thought of doing before was putting a croquette in between the slices.

It changed my life. Yeah. Have you ever tried this? It never even, I never could even comprehend that this was a possibility. I separated the finger foods, combining them, making a little croquette sandwich. They're very small, the buns though.

It's perfect though. You had to get the mini one. Trends that are- Yeah, but you get like the mini croquettes that are also part of, when you have parties, like they shrink the size of the croqueta. If you've never done this before and you're Cuban, try it, it'll rock your world,

and you'd be wondering, why haven't I tried this before? Well, you've just mentioned something that I can't believe that it was such a part of my cultural upbringing that I had sort of overlooked it without even thinking about it before right now, which is, oh yeah, I put up Cuba's finger foods against every other cultures. I'd put it up and I'd go all in with Cuban finger foods, but I'd never considered, yes, of course, they're magical and wonderful and everything

else. I had just never considered that there would be that they would be that kind of elite. Like who else is challenging Cuban finger foods? Like the French would probably say like our little finger food spreads are up there. The Italians might suggest that even though they're very similar. Just cheese. How do we classify finger foods? Right. I mean, what do we consider? Are we talking pigs in the blanket mozzarella sticks?

Is popcorn chicken a finger food? Who invented that? Even though mozzarella sticks are kind of Italian, I lump them in with American fare. I would say the metal sand as I have it is who do we give credit to the charcuterie board? Let's say France. France, Cubans, Americans when it comes to finger food fare. But I'll go pigs in the blanket over a chacout's board. Oh, what?

Well, but this is the thing, though. You have no palate or taste for fine cheeses, right? You wouldn't know what the difference between a $10 cheese is and an $80 cheese. I know cheese. Yeah, I know cheese. That's just the prosciutto's and these thin meats, just a little overrated.

Oh, come on, man. It's fine. Once again, I did this with barbecue food. It's fine, but it gets celebrated like it's this next coming of Jesus. About a little fig jam. All right, I need more culture here in the room. I need to know if we're, because I'm all of a sudden

ready to rank Cuban finger foods as the finest of all the finger foods. And of course, our kcuterie boards would rival that. But now if I'm asking third place, some culture that's vying for this particular distinction saying no, ours are the finest of the finger foods, because you guys just basically mentioned a bunch of Friday's appetizers is what you guys did.

You guys just did like potato skins. That's a great question, but it's often a main course. More often a main course, more often a main course than you do use chopsticks. However, the way that sushi was intended to be eaten was with the fingers. No, but I think you guys are doing something here. Let's see if this is accurate.

So finger foods are all the foods that you eat with your fingers? Because I don't think of sushi. Then hot dog is one, or pizza. I don't think of sushi as what it is that we're talking about. Sushi is a main dish. I'm talking about stuff that is never a main dish.

We're talking about- Stuff that you could eat one at a time that is never a main dish. Ordered. Sushi, not a main dish. You don't think so? Sushi is basically the Japanese version of the appetizer sandwich.

Definitely a main dish. Yeah, I agree. Would you consider it an hors d'oeuvre? Yeah. Alright, so then where do you place it in terms of like... But you look at the menu, it's at the entree part of a menu when you go to a Japanese restaurant. That's because we've allowed it to get to this place,

but by itself, you have to eat so much sushi to be like, I'm full. So you'd be the judge. Finger food or not? Finger food, for sure. Alright, then is it better than a charcuterie board or Cuban finger food? Oh, sushi's number one. Yeah? Oh no, no.

Better than mac and cheese bites? Charcuterie board. Number one seed, baby. This thing, like obviously by definition, it's anything conveniently eaten with your fingers. I do want to get back to the previous accusation. Finger food. Wings are a convenient.

Wings are not a finger food. Here's a finger food finger food This is the test can I eat it and go and then I'm pretty clean if I can do that That's a finger food if I was like sauce and stuff, but it can't be sweet. I like M&M's or finger food She has sauces But for the most part you're not your hands aren't like if you have a couple pieces of sushi you can get away without People you don't need sushi with your hands. I've done it. I've done it. That's the way that it was intended.

Pick it up. Pop it in. You're good. That's all you gotta do. You pick it up, you pop it in. You pick it up, dip it in the spicy mayo. Pack it up, pack it in. Wasabi.

Let me begin. But then you, you're done. That's the test. Let me begin. If it's a finger food. Oh, Craig. Craig's right. Craig. I love it. You nailed it. Let me marten. Battle me, that's a sin., great! Good timing, Greg's right. Great!

I love it. Nailed it. Let me marten. Battle me? That's a sin. What are you talking about? Let's go. Hey Greg, what'd you come to do?

Jump around. Billy, the accusation was made on air and off because it came through my headset long before it was said here, Billy's pastelitos are dot dot dot from this weekend's party. And so for some reason when you were getting applause, I didn't think anybody saw that as anything other than a nice gesture. Billy brought in food, but what Billy brought in

was he's cleaning out his fridge. Leftovers. No, it brought over. That's fine with me. I brought you guys food. I mean, I don't understand the problem here. It was nice. It's a two birds with one stone situation.

You were able to declutter your house and do a nice thing for us. It was from yesterday and so, I mean, you assume when you go to the bakery, they make them that day. You have no way of knowing. That's super nice. That's considerate, making sure nothing goes to waste too.

You're doing it. It looks like they're going to waste, to be perfectly honest. They haven't been very popular. They're not super fresh. I'm pretty sure. Geno gets one. I'm pretty sure you ate them.

Jason must not know that they're there. Roy will put some in his pockets, but you did. Not an easy food to steal, by the way. It's not. Very flaky. A lot of flakes. The crime scene is littered with an assortment of crumbs. Those worse culprits than most.

But not a lot of people have eaten them. I saw you eating too. Are you the only one who has eaten this gift you have now brought in that no one has had any of except for you? It seems like I brought them for myself, but I can't eat all of those, so they'll stay there. I mean they'll be there tomorrow. Thank you, Billy. I don't mean to sound ungrateful about it. Wait, I'm just checking. Am I the only person that did the Boca de Tito with the croqueta in the middle? Ever? Like no one here has that experience, right? How is this possible? We're all Cubans, we've been to countless parties

where this Cuban finger food has been around, and we've never thought to combine the finger foods. Okay? I have Greg Cody and his son, are you guys, let me do see, let me see here. When I look at how different both kinds of South Florida are and Panthers South Florida and Dade County South Florida, if we had a contest right now between the Cody's

where I asked you to name Cuban finger foods and you went back and forth, would you guys lose quickly? Cause none of the local culture has ever reached you. So you guys choose charcuterie board because you can't name for Cuban finger foods like if I went back and forth with you two are you are you do you have enough Hispanic influence in your life to be able to play this game? I think I could play it poorly.

I'm not a fan of this is blasphemy. I'm not a huge fan of Cuban food. It's it. I love Cuban food. It probably ranks tenth Yeah, we're the nine cuisines that are I've mistaken Pani Sado, please Thank you. You think you think there are a lot of finger foods better than the croqueta. I don't like croquetas The pastelito I loved I thought that was just great. That's a flaky That is a finger food. It's magnificent. It applies to the definition, and it's part of like, hey, just went to this bakery, we're having a birthday party. That's out on the tray.

You can get smaller ones. I think croquette is one of the most overrated foods. This is insulting. No, I do. I can mess with a taqueno. Look, I can't look at my friend this way. Papa Diana? I can't look at you this way.

The truth hurts. No, this is, I mean, this is blasphemy. Is it McGovern rated? No, I just... Can I tell you, it's like a cheese, you know, it's like a cheese stick. I mean, come on. What's wrong with that? Maza de puerco.

Like, I don't believe that, I don't believe that you know Cuban food. I don't, I believe that this is, this is ignorance. No. To Kenya's Venezuelan, I think. I love the costilla de puerco. Yeah. You know, I get a couple of those whenever I go to my favorite restaurant that serves them.

And it's great. We, you know, it's pork chops and mojo. I made a mojo dish the other day. I don't know whether that's a Cuban thing or not. Okay, that's good. That's a good way to talk about Cuban food is to not know what culture you're making. Pastelitos de carne. Is mojo. Okay, that's good. That's a good way to talk about Cuban food is to not know what culture you're making. Hostelitos de carne.

Is mojo a Cuban thing? Yeah, maybe if we found a country of origin, it's not Cuban and that would be shocking. It could be Spain. That would be shocking because Cubans use mojo for a lot. We love mojo. It is a- Arroz que leche.

Mojo Raleigh. Please stop doing that. Don't do that anymore. Thank you. Mojo Raleigh? Please stop doing that. Don't do that anymore. Thank you. Mojo Raleigh? Yes, Billy's just doing whatever he wants to over there. Little bit of a Wild Willy Wednesday sneaking into our Monday.

Greg loves a Cuba Libre. Oh, Cuba Libre. Absolutely. Yeah. Poglans law. Let's play the game. Go ahead, Chris. You go one time.

Give me a finger food that's Cuban Cuban. Oh my god croqueta Pastelito Boke Dito Costilla de Poco you're cheating by using only two you've known so far she's at home. Oh Man, let me think though Oh man, let me think though. You've lived here all your life. I know, I don't prefer that kind of food, I'm sorry. It's because you don't know it, is what I would argue, clearly.

And why wouldn't I know it? If I loved it, would I know it? No, you've never tried it. You're not somebody who, you can't name, I'm asking you to name foods in his defense. There's like three of us trot so they you can Your son could go forever. I your son is Perhaps he loves Cuban food more than I do. Well, he loves all food platinum maruro. I Like how he grabs onto the death

It's Too slimy You can't do that it's not a thing That's a great rule made up that's a great Wings are a french fries are not Cuban chicken wing is a finger food I don't like the sauce of wing you got to like your finger. Oh, you gotta get do that with a wing. That's what I'm saying. I don't like the rule. You get a sauce up wing, you gotta lick your finger. Oh, you gotta, you gotta, they gotta give you a moist towelette, it's not a finger food.

Yeah. King wing. By the way, I like plantain chips with the garlic sauce. There you go. Does that count? Yeah, that's mojo. All right. Mojo.

Chris's turn. It's mojo, it's the thing that you were talking about. Where I, on the rare occasion when I go to a Cuban restaurant, their plantain chips are served with... The mariquitas. Yes. It's more of a garlicky sauce than it is mojo. Every time I look over there, Chris,

you might as well be dressed like a flamenco dancer. Every time I'm here, you just hit me with more and more Spanish when I don't know who's feeding you there. Atlanta Cruz. See how he's grabbing the desk. But he's scared. I see that his sphincter is dying because he's not confident doing comedy in Spanish. Empinada. Roy, give me, after three hours of chewing that gum, give me as much Connor McDavid analysis

as you possibly can, please. I can't right now, my mouth hurts, I'm sorry. You look like you have grills made out of bubble gum. I'm pole warm right now. Your jaw is going to hurt, yes? It already does. Your jaw will hurt tomorrow and this will be uh... but so you can't give me spoken analysis you're just trying to get to

the end of the show because this this gum hasn't got any smaller while you chew it for three hours as correct are you in a stupid the punishments are always worse than you think they are congratulations on doing it by the way chris cody weasel this way he met you didn't actually completed p you're you took on his penalty because chris cody weasel diswaying that he didn't actually completed peter you took on his penalty because chris cody failed to get to the end of it because he said it was too much so congratulations

on being less of a coward than he is back in them aros and but he'll that's not good that would have been good if your ass hadn't gotten tight but your ass got tight because you got scared and so you're gonna have to leave. Minor penalty two minutes asshole. I wanted to ask you guys something that I forgot to ask you during the local hour when we were talking about how quickly architecture can change in the modern age of you know you're doing finger food this this this but oh Celtics okay gonna wrap that up how how did the Knicks do it I was a little surprised perhaps I should not have been that what was for a bright flash across the sky somehow the

most exciting time in dolphin football in 25 years to sort of casually learn oh John New Smith and Jalen Ramsey, that's both going to be casualties that whatever you were trying to do with those guys, they're probably not going to be around to do whatever the rest of that is. And so a very quick time in Dolphins football turns around with two players you know were good and successful here that you better not have gotten too attached to. And by the way, great run by Jalen Ramsey like they got a lot of good football out of him long past what would or should be the prime for somebody at

that position but I was just curious what you guys thought of to name productive players during what has been the most exciting time in dolphin football in 25 years are now going to be gone soon and they and they won you nothing and you wasted their time and you wasted your money and nothing positive happened in terms of winning meaningful winning yeah that that dolphin the heydays of the dolphins didn't last long it took about a minute and a half back two years ago it was when they score 70 points against Denver and the offense with Tyree kill is the talk of the league right Mike McDaniel wears the genius hat for a year now there the

over-under on wins is like eight they play 17 games they're gonna struggle to be a 500 team let alone make the playoff. What happened? Part of it is that Tua can't stay healthy and misses a lot of games, but with John Ousmith and Jaylen Ramsey, both are older players, it's almost as if they're in a rebuild without ever having gotten anywhere. They're like starting over again. No, and with the same GM in charge.

Right. I mean, you can't do it that, you can't do seven years of, you can't be back at rebuild. McDaniel and Chris Greer are coaching and general managing for their jobs this year. There's no question about that. There's going to be huge turnover if they fail this season. John is on a very team friendly deal. Now he does have value because it's only 4.8 million dollars. He doesn't really eat into their cap. If they

were truly rebuilding, why is Tyreek Hill not long gone? What are they going to do with their wide receivers? They have a lot of big contracts on their books. I think this is the result of them having to pay TUA and you're going to have to say goodbye to some guys that were productive. You don't often have to say goodbye to guys that are on good contracts the way that John Yoo is. I know that John Yoo behind the scenes has been asking for a new contract to reflect his season last year, which was a very good season. And, but the reality is Tyreek Hill isn't worth what he was two years ago, and and the Marlins are finding this out with sandy alcantara

who's here it was eight last time i looked they're trying to trade him the market is plummeted tyree kill i don't know what they're going to get for him if they trade them and there are there is that speculation that he could be gone but what are you going to get for tyree kill uh... a third round pick uh... a third in the seventh i mean he's worth more to you

then he is in trade right now which would have been the case i can't be friends with greg cody if he thinks group as a roberto i can't tell you i don't know i can't be yeah non-confinement
