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. Quervo. This is the Dan Levator show with the Stugats podcast. Football. Football.

Football is back, Jack. Oh, my, we've waited for so long. We're so damn excited that we put it in. a song don't need no checkdowns give me big hits and quarterbacks keep your fantasy team from falling off the tracks football is back jacked whether on the ground or through the air when the chips are down and you throw a prayer when your team is primed and on the heart It's 4'10 You refuse to puck When the shoulder pads And helmets crack

That's how you know That football is back Jack Let me hear you say Football Football Football Football

Football Football is back jack This high is wild And out of control And we're going to ride it every week Until we reach the Super Bowl Don't need no checkdowns

Give me big hits and quarterbacks If you say this game's the best I'll say it's a gag Football is back, Jack Football is back, Jack Football is back, Jack Football is back, Jack It's a beautiful

It's a beautiful morning On the Serengetty As you see now The Zaslo has spotted his plane stick And he seems to be reveling in the joy That is the plain stick Beautiful morning

On the Serengetti he's enjoying his plane so before we start all this hold on a second because we're coming out of I just saw a random black dude break a bottle over someone's head in the other room and I don't know what that was about Jeremy got a bottle broken over his head and then I come in here and he's got the plane sticks he's finally got the plane sticks he thinks they're delicious the serengetti I don't know what you're doing but I did hear that I hear Mike what did you tell me during a liquid IV I don't know why we decided Chris should be on the reeds. We don't have to do it. We don't have to relive. You mispronounce caffeine. You thought it was a good idea to go live with you reading? I did think it was a decent idea as the Zaslo enjoys his plane stick.

And he had working serengetti again. In the serengeti. In the morning. In the morning. How did you say caffeine the other day in the liquor? I said caffeine, all right? Get over it. Haiphonane.

How do you guys feel? about the plane stick before we get we got plenty of content today we got way way way too much show we'll get to it in a second uh the plain stick uh joy taylor's been mocking zaslo for many years about his love of this you know the love of this stick uh and it's disgusting like of all the donuts it's the plainest right go and touch my lips you but you would agree would everyone agree here that it's the plainest of the donuts like this is yes there's no plainer donut than then the plain stick, correct? It's like eating just doughy bread. It's not,

it doesn't have very much flavor to it, correct? Give me one of those things. I mean, it is glazed. No, no. His is not. His is a plain, no, you've got, no, look, what you guys have isn't what he has. He's got one without the glaze. You guys have glaze on it. That changes everything. The glaze is good. Of course, the glaze is

good. Chris has a plain one, though. On the serengeti. You don't love it. No, he's not going to love that. It's like, no. No, it's dry. Yeah, not good. A donut needs to be sweet. Put it on the poll at Lebitard show.

Doesn't a donut need to be sweet? I think it also needs to be round. It needs accompaniment this thing. Like it needs a coffee or some other flavor to it. It needs to go on my belly. Put it on the pole as well. Does a donut need to be round? We've got, the owners are mad at us, okay?

We've got a situation where the big owners club, and this is a problem when you get the owners mad at you. The owner's got all the money. The owner's going to be in hiding and stuff. And now Mark Cuban is coming after Pablo Tori with, where are your facts? Jack. And it's like, but I don't want to do that today because we got football, because football is back. We were having a conversation before the show, Dan, that I don't think you caught.

But we're trying to figure out exactly because Pablo now, you know, a Metalwork, have this partnership with the athletic. I'll go play and stick, Dan. Does Steve Baum or Sue Meadowark or the Athletic for this story? Look, some of the stuff that we're doing is hard to do. I don't know. Maybe you didn't notice at the beginning of Pablo Tori finds out, but I had a journalism decision to make on something we were publishing that was going to infuriate Ishbia.

And I got the world's most powerful sports guy as our CEO, and of course, you're afraid of the money because these people can bury you in lawsuits. Trump is hurting the media just by grabbing tens of millions here and there with just bogus stuff. So this stuff's dangerous. when you bring the fight to these particular people. Like, they're good at hiding.

They're good at avoiding questions. Mickey Erison's going into the Hall of Fame. He's reluctantly doing two five-minute interviews. They've offered us a five-minute interview that has... Yeah, but it has five-minute interview. We're really going to get to the nuts and bolts of things. A five-minute interview. Like, so we are now agitating people, and Mark Cuban,

I want to get to him, but football's back. But football's tonight, football is back, Jack. I'm sorry, I don't know. I mean, geez. Why did a random black man break a bottle over the head of Jeremy in the other room? Name's Carl. We've established him as a character. You know, Carl.

I was like, all right, he just did it once, but he won't do it again. Maybe that should be his gimmick. Just comes in when somebody's doing too much and breaks a bottle over the head? Just Jeremy's head, actually. No, you know what? I don't think anyone's claim that gimmick. You know what? Let's give Carl that power now.

When Carl sees that any of us, me included, are using bad judgment or it's being Jeremy. Let's call it being Jeremy. He's allowed to come in and slap someone over the head and break a bottle over their head. I think that's a great idea. Well, you would. But here's the problem is I think that Carl would assume that you just referring to him as the random black man as bad judgment. But then Carl, the random black man, as you referred to him, would come in and hit you in the head the bottle. He's enraged. Look at him in that video.

Look at him. In that video, everyone else is dancing and having a good... Seems properly raged. He seems properly raged to me. It actually seems delighted. Giving you a lifesaver and you're just like, I'd rather drown. There is a bottle broken over ahead and he runs off... It scares me

if you watch me. I mean, you guys saw look at that. That's just rage. It's clear and obvious rage. We can't have that in the workplace. Look at the Cody's there. Everyone's having a good time. It's... That's football. Yeah, now close your eyes and imagine he's a random white man.

I don't think you're dubbing at his rage. All right, Smearnoff. Official vodka of the NFL, the world's number one vodka. Here's the deal. Game day is everything. The noise, the rituals, the passion, the dip, the wings, the dip again. Smyranoff belongs in that mix because if you're tailgating or hosting or just sitting there checking your fantasy lineup every 30 seconds, you need Smyranoff.

The only reason I keep bringing this up is because you not are throwing a big party on Thursday. You're doing it. And I want people to support what you're doing because Stugats has not made this easy.

Stugats. Well, you know, I, well, yeah, you know. This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats. So football is back tonight with Cowboys and Eagles. Zazlo was laughing because he was saying that Colin Cowher didn't know that Friday's game was in Brazil, but I didn't know there was a Thursday game, so I don't think I'm in a position to mock him. I thought I learned watching YouTube ads scroll across my screen.

Wait a minute, there's a game on Friday night and it's Chiefs Chargers, and I thought that's how the season was starting. I didn't realize, oh, of course, they're going to start with Thursday night football. I missed that. Did the Chiefs win the Super Bowl last year? I mean, the Chiefs No, they didn't. The answer's no. You're right. You always start with the Super Bowl champion on opening night at home. Thursday.

That's what you do. You say that, and you can never go wrong, obviously, with the Eagles, Cowboys. Of course not. That's great storyline. But it's not up for dispute, is it that the marquee game is the one that has Taylor Swift in it, correct? It's still that. We're still

on that. Are we not? That the number are going to be highest for whatever the that the biggest star in the sport right now is Taylor Swift's fiance. That that's the biggest star in the sport, that they just had a record podcast. The podcast that the Kelsey's are doing, that's a

very difficult business venture. We're trying to talk ball, Dan. They're talking bald, Dan. No, but I'm asking you, the ratings higher for Thursday, Eagles, Cowboys, or the Taylor Swift game on Friday night, because now they're taking Thursday and Friday. Did they put their big game on Friday because they don't have Fridays yet. They've only got Thursdays and Sundays and Mondays.

Well, they have the Black Friday game too, but Thursday night is on NBC and Peacock and Friday's on YouTube. So I think that NBC Peacock will probably get it if we don't have YouTube TV? I don't know. It's a good question. So a lot of people are headed to this. This is confusing. This is all getting expensive. I don't know about Red Zone, except now there's commercials and Pat McAfee is telling, you know, whatever his name is Hanson. Oh, no one's upset about commercials. Like, get with the program, Pat. Now they're saying they've been doing this. for a year. They're like, hey, we've been throwing commercials at you for a while now. This is not the ESPN thing. They've been preparing us for this. Also, ESPN is a convenient foil because

they don't actually control this thing just yet. They control it next year. So the NFL is using ESPN as a pseudo-meat shield here. Sports fans, I am sorry to say this to you. You've heard Samson all over our network taking some glee in this. He's been warning you. Him and Skipper have both been warning you. Hey, sports fans are all going to get screwed here, okay? Like the The thing that's going to happen is your fandom is so addictive. And we know football is king. You don't want to miss any of those games. Hell, I just got sucked in to Mobland, and I didn't have Paramount Plus.

And I'm like, I don't want Paramount Plus. I don't like what's on Paramount Plus. And then I saw Mobland, and I'm like, holy shit, that's better than the Sopranos. Good show. No, I'm like that, if they keep doing that, and it peers from the way that it ended, they're going to keep doing that. Who's in that? Mobland.

It's everybody. Mabland, Helen Mirren, it plays a bad person for the first time and a great one. Oh, she's always bad. Pierce Brosnan plays a bad person and a great one. Tom Hardy, and then the king of it, the king of it is Guy Ritchie. That's five Guy Ritchie movies is what Mobland is one after another

and it would be better than the Sopranos if I gave it eight seasons. Paramount Plus is good. Don't they have all those Taylor Sheridan shows? Yeah, Bangers too. Paran Plus is good. They have all the different paw patrols also. Okay, so you're going to have to have to have. all of them. You understand the competition

for money and the competition for content, as the Kelsey's and Taylor Swift and everyone else realizes the value of good content. South Park realizes it. Colbert realizes it. Conan O'Brien realizes it. The whole entertainment landscape is changing

and everybody wants football. And football is Thursday night and it's Friday night. And then college football, minor league football, our second biggest sport in America. That's all day Saturday. And now you've got Sunday and now you're off and running on what is basically cocaine snorting for 17 straight weeks because the gambling action, 300, what is it, is it 300 billion strong? The gambling action, it might be 30 billion, it might be 30 billion.

That's just Nick Wright's account. It makes it, oh, on the weekend, when you're off, you can just sit there and play with your money on television while watching football, which makes it easy. You're describing awesome things. Well, this is what's upon us, right? But also... I hear you talk, and I'm like, man, how whack are Tuesdays and Wednesdays? You say all of this, and I don't want to go super serious on where we're headed,

because you guys say I always dampen the fun on football. Yeah, so don't do it. There you go. There is a choice. Chris, you're absolutely right. There's a fork in the road here, Dan. There's the fun road, and there's the Dan Road. So you get to choose which way do we want to go today?

The fun road or the not fun road? It's true. This segment was headed a direction. are, hey, we're just going to talk about awesome things. Yeah. I like that direction. Then there's always the third one that we don't see because this is like a sport where Dan's like, vaccines.

It's like, whoa, hold on a second. A random what guy? Zadzlo, you are sitting there next to me and you're critiquing the show. You're getting more and more confidence in that seat. I'm just telling you what I like. You're a college football expert. Everybody knows it.

Sweets on the road, first class flying because everyone knows his knowledge is something that is needed in the top echelon of where sports are described your power is hungry we've seen it physically Chris Cody has mocked you on this front and one of the reasons this show became less fun is because I was starting to do it as I'm telling you guys while fighting with owners which is unpleasant and next to me is a guy eating a plane stick who can't get his headphones right and there are people scurrying in under his chair because evidently you didn't know how to do your job while I was talking trying to have fun right while

you guys were doing that while you guys were doing that I'm sitting here trying to do the show serious time fighting owners. Football's coming. Dan wants to be Dan. Vaccines. Look out. Florida is the most distressed state. Keep dancing sports, monkey boy. I mean, I've been doing this long enough. I know how a microphone and headsets work. Is it possible there was sabotage? Wow. A saboteur amongst us, you're saying. I know how to use equipment. Only somebody else in that room other than you. Huh. Who would it be? A who done it? I also want to talk ball, clearly.

No, but who would it be? It would be a guy because because the women have fled the supremacist. They're covering college football. They're no longer wanting to be in Miami. Who sabotaged this? The implication was it was you. That's what Tony was implying. You sabotage. I thought you guys weren't implying it was Stugat. No. The chair. I don't think he's allowed in the building. That it was the chair. You know, I want to talk about it. What I'm the under the CDC. You got to worry about the high boy fever now. Oh, I get it. I know who he is. Now you get, it's a good impersonation.

I'm trying to figure it out. Come over here down. Mike Ryan, were you hurt that your limited fakes, none of them won? No. No, no, no, no. Because Miranda! Oh, that guy. It's a first ballot, HOFer.

I have an update. The game you can watch for free on YouTube on Friday. It also says you have access to it with subscription to NFL Plus on YouTube TV, but if it's free, you don't need any of that. You can just watch it for free. Yeah, you just watch it on YouTube. Do we know how I'm getting Red Zone this weekend? No, don't ask.

What do you got? I needed help with it. I needed help with it. with it. I needed an assistant to come over and help me make sure that I had Red Zone because of what's happened in the last three seasons to me where I'm scrambling the Sunday morning and I don't know what to do or how to call or nobody and customer services died so nobody picks up a phone and not at that hour because a lot of people in America are doing what I'm doing. I don't know how you're getting Red Zone but I know how you're

getting measles. What do you have? I can help you. What do you have? How do you get it? No, I'm good now. I don't know if I'm good or not. What do you have? I feel like I'm going to be scrambling when I get home from Dallas on Sunday morning to watch the Red Zone. I have DirecTV stream. You could probably just like log on to your account and just like click something.

Like I have the channel you think. It's part of the package. Yeah. Like they let you like so I have like Hulu Plus Live TV and you go in and you just like check my account and then it's like just add on and like two seconds later you have it. All right. It should be good. All right.

I can call me if anything. All right. You'll come over if I have a problem? Yeah, I'm here for you. Billy, you can be hard to reach. You don't return text, so I don't believe any of what he's saying. Billy can actually be helpful, but he'd have to return your call. I mean, that was kind of helpful what he just told me.

Yeah, I'm trying. I feel right. Do you have any? We've given them in the past, and this might be outdated now, but you can get these companies by threatening to cancel your subscription. Oh, that's a guy who had cable once upon a time. You can negotiate the price down on some of this stuff if you can get a customer service representative on the line. And Billy, you have given great value over the years to our audience.

You've saved our audience hundreds of dollars here. Is there any trick like that that can be played that we can tell people without telling people without bothering the sponsors? Hmm. I don't know. I mean, I don't know if there's any, like, free subscriptions you could, like, do previews for right now. I mean, everything right now is just, like, NBC or Peacock. You probably have NBC because NBC is like a free channel. So how do you get the red zone discounted?

I have no clue that I don't know. Well, but you've given people that advice in the past. No, I mean. Didn't it used to be, you would just call up you, I will cancel my subscription right now. And then it's, oh, what if we give you a Sunday ticket for free? Yeah, I will not cancel my subscription. That used to work with DirecTV. Yeah, that was the number one ticket.

Billy, do you not remember saving people thousands of dollars? It was a moment of great gratitude. I remember, I tell every, I remind everybody. It's an anniversary of having my calendar every year, the Monday, first Monday after the regular season. Guys, remember, cancel your red zone. You don't need it for the next 10 months. Like, you're good now. And then I'll remind you.

So, guys, this is a friendly reminder and gals. Everyone out there. If you want to watch Red Zone, re-subscribe. But resubscribe. You know what I'm going to look at the calendar? Because I resubscribe, like, on that Sunday. Because if it's month to month, I look to see what the last date is so that I don't get charged an additional month when I don't need that month.

You know, so I wait until the last possible second. If I did it two weeks ago, then I may be short two weeks at the end of the regular season. And I need to pay another month just for two weeks. So wait until the last possible second. This is good advice. Yeah, thank you. I need some good advice from you guys because the fighting of the owners is hard when, you know, there's just access exchange that makes some of this stuff hard.

I've covered Mickey Erison. The greatest owner South Florida Sports has ever seen. For 30 years, what he has done with that franchise to make it what it is makes him worthy of the Hall of Fame he's now being inducted to because as an owner of a sports team, wherever Mike's complaints are on luxury tax stuff and everything else, where he should lose money so that we could have our fun, what they built in South Florida is a model for a sports franchise that became nationally bigger than what the Dolphins were once when Don Chula was building this town. Like what the Miami Heat did for 30 years when the local sports

team's not entitled to be taking over the town for 20 years and being that kind of relevant, his stewardship of this team governing Pat Riley with his son because I've told you guys Mickey and Nick run that team it's a type of it's five people consortium everyone thinks Riley's in charge that works for everybody the erasins will hide in the shadows but if Mickey and Nick wants something it's their team and Pat Riley's in charge but I've seen like I've seen him walk out of stuff where you know he wants Marcus Thornton and the answer's no and like that's i've seen it happen because this team is run by the ariacens and has been done so quintessentially in a way that has no precedent in this market not even the dolphins

who soiled everything they built with all of their arrogance and losing while the heat gave us one bad season last year and lost mike and one bad season in 20 years man deserves the hall of fame he's doing three five minute interviews doesn't want to do any of them Hall of Fame is forcing two of them on him. Forcing two of them on him. He's like, okay, fine, I'll do those. And I'm like, Mickey, come do our show. We have a relationship.

We're across from you. Come to our show. And he's like, okay, five minutes. And I'm like, five minutes. It's a great honor for you. It's a great honor. To be on the show. Well, is he going to have a stopwatch?

Like, what happens at five minutes? What's he so busy doing? He's on cruise control. No, let's be honest. Literally, cruise control. Nick's running things, you do whatever he wants. By the way, I have good news. Good breaking news to save you guys money. So I looked up to see when the season ended.

Season starts September 7th in terms of when you need red zone. Now, season ends January 7th. We're in a classic pickle. If I'm charged on the 7th of every month, am I going to be recharged January 7th for a full month just for that one week in January. I don't know. You don't know. Nobody knows. Someone knows, but we don't know. So I did a little Googling. If you go to NFL.com slash I want NFL network slash this week, there's a free preview of NFL Red Zone on Cox, Hulu, DirecTV, Dish, Optimum, Sling, Xfinity.

So if you have those, you can get a free preview this week, then subscribe next week. And then we don't need to figure out the 7th, seven, seven situation.

Oh, irrational! Stugats! Do you not hear your voice there? Your voice, if I were making a cartoon thing that was meant to symbolize irrational. That's the voice I would give. This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats. Chris, you were not helpful that segment

as I waited the entire time for the Pickles music. One, it is that Billy said Pickles, and I just saw you scanning and searching and did not come up with the Pickles music so that while Billy was being helpful to the audience, he could explain a classic pickle in a way that would be helpful. Is there any reason you couldn't

fine the Pickles music? He didn't know we were doing it. I went a little rogue. I'll defend him on this. I just, I didn't know I was going to do a pickle until I started talking. It just came out. There we go. But I'm saying, he opened with the Serengeti and thought that live reading was a good idea to open this particular show when I'm fighting with owners. This particular show, you know where I think we go? I think we go, Chris reads at the beginning. It's a serengetty bit. You understand why I might, why it might be a little agitated. I don't I don't want to fight with owners.

You think that was reading? That was all off the dome, baby. So what do we do with Mickey? Are you going to ask them hardball questions or softball questions? Should we even take the interview? I don't know if you would ever accept the five-minute time limit on an interview with any kind of sports owner. But I feel like you're making a special little concession here for your boy Mickey.

Okay, so my boy, Mickey. Is he coming in studio? No. That would be a giant waste of time from the drive all over here for five minutes. This office is right across the street. That is true. I'm assuming you have him at the office Cruise control remember

he's actually yeah he lives Where does he live what's his address Send him some fan mail He lives at the arena He's got to be really confused at Lady Gaga's still there What was her deal? She just yesterday To say you know what I don't want to sing today She didn't do the show

They let people in the building She was like 40 minutes away from Hitting the stage and they sent out A message on socials and made an arena announcement that her voice just doesn't have it that night. I don't know. How about lip sync? Lip sync. What happened all throughout the day?

She said, according to her statement, that during vocal rehearsal on Tuesday, because Tuesday was an off night, she played Sunday and Monday, had an off night in Miami, those will catch up to you, Lady Gaga, and then had a rehearsal again on Wednesday that the decision was made after they let people in the building that her voice wasn't good enough to perform. I don't want to make any reckless accusations. Wait a minute. I think we're already here. I'm going to follow you journalistically.

Time to throw away all journalistic credibility and get reckless. Here is something we like to call reckless speculation. I think this is breaking news. I think this has happened to know. You could report this as happened to know because what you're about to say, I think, is absolutely true. I'm piecing together circumstantial evidence here. You don't make a call on the voice after people are in the business. building. My speculation

here, albeit reckless, is that off night in Miami, got to Lady Gaga. Oh my God, he knows. Yeah, I don't think that's reckless at all. I think that's responsible. And furthermore, we just saw her not be immune to, I've only known

is James Hardin. Is James Hardin? Is James Hardin the only one who survived a Miami night, who could survive a Miami night? We just The NFLPA, the head of the NFLPA couldn't survive a Miami night. He just lost his job because he went over to Tutsis. I feel like Michael Jordan would have been okay. He played 36 rounds of golf before a playoff game and just came from the golf course to the playoff game.

Well, 36 holes, 36 rounds. Oh my God, he'd be so tired. That had to be a record. What is he, president? So should we just ask Mickey about why Lady Gaga didn't perform last night? No, Mike just reported it. He happens to know. We just saw Gaga.

Come everyone. Come and listen. Man, South Florida is worth a couple of points. Everyone knows this. This is not a surprise. Everyone knows that South Florida nights are worth a couple of points for any basketball team that comes down here. And on many nights, you see a team that has absolutely no legs.

That's a real thing. It can be proven by Haberstro. He happens to know. No vaccine for the South Beach flu. Actually, in Florida, no vaccines whatsoever. But they don't cancel the game after the team is out 40 minutes before games. I mean, people are in the building. No, but a player doesn't play.

Right, a player. That's right. But when she's a player. player, and she's the player. Like, this is the economy that these guys are. It's why you see Kauai Leonard grabbing $28 million on the side, because they know the economy that they are. That would have been funny if her band played without her. That's right. Like, that's the thing, though, about... Would have preferred that. I don't know. You know what? You don't sing. Like, the lip sync thing,

fine. Don't let people in the building and say you got to leave. That's just poor form. That's something like Kanye bleep. Lady Gaga Outload Management. That's what happened. I don't think, let's report it. You're a journalist. Like, come on, Zazlo, you're a journalist. I'll report it. No, but report it. Look, if Lady Gaga's very popular, she doesn't upset her fans or anybody very much. Little monsters. You should have seen the people spilling out of that arena. Little monsters. In Miami? You drive through this traffic to get to here under that $800 million bridge we're building so no one can get in here?

I'll bet that parking lot didn't give you your money back. In incredible outfits, let me tell you. No, but of course they're furious. They come out for the night. We don't even have the infrastructure to hold what would be the rest of that night when that gets out over here. Instead of going to the concert, I just ended up going to my bar, and you could tell exactly everybody who was let down by Lady Gaga.

Actually, I was a benefactor of that, so thank you, Lady Gaga. I am seeing in the corner of the screen something that continues to terrify me, and I believe is a workplace violation, immediately after breaking a bottle over the head of Jeremy Tashay in the office, for, I guess, being too theatrical, because he is, because we've all wanted to do that to him. This person, who I've never seen before,

I can't see him from here, but it just seems all I'm seeing is rage. Everyone else is dancing. Look at the Cody's. Singing in the back of the screen, and what's behind them? A man who is clearly enraged, has committed a violent crime, and then scampers out of the screen.

Might be foaming. Is he foaming? No. You can't tell me that's not rage. Look at it. What did you say his name was? How did you identify him? He's an established character. It's not even his first video. We played him in videos all week last week. But we haven't seen his behavior. That's right. Are you all right?

He's overthanked. She's worried about Jeremy. When I see someone behave like this, I get choked up. It's just a second time. No, but choked up emotional or scared? Scared. Look, we've got that is a human resources problem. That, right there. That's proof. We haven't seen

Jeremy since. that he had a bottle broken over his head what do you mean we haven't seen him since is he at the hospital like that's what clearly happened we have video proof and he's rabid before he runs out of the screen this this is enough to convict this man he might have rabies

that's imply so we've got football as upon us Mickey Harrison what do I do can I get some creative judgment here please seriously because it's got to be five minutes of Five minutes. He's got five minutes is what he's willing to give us. Should we be grateful for the five minutes?

Absolutely not. We have to put his feet to the fire on this. This isn't a pal around. Yeah, grill him. Exactly right. Zaz needs to accuse him of that insider trading that he did yesterday. What were you accusing him of? That he, some backdoor deals that he got to one and two-down. Yeah, you got to ask him about Anthony Carter. Well, that's true. You got to ask him about the air and the chips. You got to ask him about the air and the chips. You got to ask him about leaving the arena in a disguise after they were swept. I'm like poppy claim. You've got to ask them about that. That is true. Yes. Let's put together a list of questions.

Now you're doing it, but we only have five minutes. We only have five minutes. And I'm asking you just journalistically. These are not concessions we've ever made for anybody. Mike's got a question for sure. Or of a statement. Okay. My question is, Terry Rozier.

Yeah. All right. True or false. True or false. Well, so you guys tell me what to do about this because I don't want to be in bed with the owners. I do not. Mark Cuban is now rabid with Pablo Torre. Rabid, going after Pablo Tori, and we're fighting with owners, and this is a day of celebration.

This is a man who does not trust the media, does not like speaking in public, does not want the attention, does not need the attention, would prefer to be in the shadows. They've run this franchise really well. He deserves the honor that he's getting this week. No one would dispute it, right? He let Michael Beasley and Rio go, and they won a championship more recently than the heat, so. So you guys don't think, I mean, Zazlo, you're a two-time champion broadcaster, like the legacy, the legacy of Erison in a minute? Oh, I mean, best owner we've ever had down here. I know people get on him for the spending, but money's never been an issue when the team is good.

He doesn't want to spend it. The team is not going to be good. It's a franchise that, you know, you don't have scandal. You don't have embarrassment. And the action speak for itself when the building is packed every single night. It's a great franchise. Mickey, true or false, you know who Jonathan Zaslow is. All right.

If you want to do it that way, we can do it that way. But it'll require us to make it entertaining in a period of time that's not reasonable. And I don't want to agree to these terms. I think they're shit terms. But I'd also like to give him his respect, right? I'd like to. I would like to celebrate someone worthy of celebration. What if you tell them in order for me to give you the proper respect any more than five minutes?

The answer is no. The answer is no. it's five minutes. It's the most he's giving anyone. Look, the corridors of power on this stuff. These people don't have to answer to anyone anymore. Anyone. Five minutes can be in eternity. Five minutes is more

than anyone else is getting because there's so many layers. Look. Is that what your wife tells you? Balmer is sitting here saying, I didn't know anything. I didn't know anything. Case closed. Yeah, I didn't know anything. And I'm remembering a 60 Minutes piece they did on Prokerov.

Oh, this owner, he's got this suspicious money but look at him he's on jet skis and he's so quaint he doesn't have a computer he doesn't even have a computer that's right because it ties him to nothing you idiot you're 60 minutes you don't understand that there's so much space between where people get in trouble and the money that we've seen it climb to the top of the presidency and putting in place someone who's going to make us all sick in Florida. It's going to make us all sick in Florida. But that's why the Mickey thing is weird, because he's not going to give us any real answers. But so, so no, you say, don't take him. Make a stand? Let's take Vinnie Viola for 10 minutes. So it's steps. So reject Mickey,

reject the Mickey Arrison interview. You wouldn't, if you got that, if you got an email that said blank owner for five minutes, you wouldn't take it. Now is a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Quervo invented tequila. Quervo. What are you doing here? Quervo. Anytime someone says Quervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during and reads, like... Quervo. I think you could lay out, especially for 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. Please drink responsibly. Quirval. Howdy, folks, it's Mike Ryan.
