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.

Proximo. Cuervo.com. Please drink responsibly. Cuervo. Zazz is on an incredible hot streak all over sports media and all over Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam is where this journey began for Zazz. He won tickets when the Heat won a playoff game, the last good thing that the Miami Heat did. They then got summarily trounced in the playoffs,

embarrassed by Cleveland. If they lost that game, they would have Cooper flag. It's a push. It's a push for you. You could have had Cooper flag for the next decade, or you could have gone to Pearl Jam, the amazing shows that we saw and now on the Facebook homepage, Zazz, the fan page for Pearl Jam. Zazz looked the other day and was

startled, couldn't believe that it was his face on the Facebook Pearl Jam celebration page I I'm just I'm on Facebook I go on Facebook sometimes and I'm on Facebook and I'm part of a you know Pearl Jam official fan club page on Facebook and they changed the Profile picture of the fan club page to a picture of me wearing a Pearl Jam shirt, and that's all you're wearing You're very confident in that photo. Well yeah, and you know, I put on it,

hey that's me! And the very first comment was a guy saying, What'd they have to say? Go on. He's got two signature lines there, go on and what's that guy got to say? Oh he's got a few of them. He's got a few, but those-

I'm workshopping some. Those are in the same family, go on and what's he's gotta say. How you like He's got a few, but those- I'm workshopping some. Those are in the same family. Go on and what he's gotta say. How you like that? Yeah. Juju is with us now. We've got an assortment of things to talk about to end the week here, July 4th week.

Does it feel, Billy, a little more like July 4th week to you now? Yeah, we're getting there. Yeah, because- Almost there. The skeletal crew today makes it feel a little more like that? Yeah, we're now getting there. It feels like July 4th

Want to talk July 4th movies or best movies to watch on July 4th with Juju want to update the polls as well before we Open up the club, but Juju. What do you have for us on the WNBA front? I meant at some point here to get to the Sophie Cunningham sound do we have the Sophie Cunningham sound from earlier this week? I would like to play it for Juju and the audience. We'll get to that in a second, but what else do you have for us, Juju? Yes, for the WNBA players have rejected

the league's first CBA offer that they sent last week. Phoenix Mercury star and WNPA player representative Satu Sabili described the proposal sent to the union as a slap in the face. There we go. More to come. I mean, it's worth a lot. The WNPA knows now, the players know they're worth a lot

and they're not gonna accept a lot less than a lot for what it is that they've developed as one of the great streaming sports options that had been undervalued before now. Do have that so if the cutting him sound to play that for june you please listen to your players to like what where do they want to play where are they going to get excited so i do think that i have a great like everyone loves florida nashville's

amazing city can city amazing opportunity there's a huge arena downtown in no one's uh... i think that uh... uh the women's soccer league is showing that like people draw you know and so I'm not so sure what the thought process is there but at the end of the day you also want to make sure that you're not expanding our league too fast. I think that's also another thing that you don't want teams to totally dump me and then have teams that aren't. And so I just think that it's kind of a hard decision making team or situation.

But man, I don't know how excited people are to be here. Too much ambient noise there. You gotta be able to do an interview without so many people not interested around you in what it is that you're saying, yammering. What did you think of Sophie Cunningham talking about expansion there, Juju? Right, first of all, that's coming from someone who plays in a sellout arena every night in

Indianapolis. So there's that. Also, Lisa Leslie took to Twitter and said, I need to have a meeting with the WNBA players ASAP because the Detroit, they had one of the highest attendance. I think they had the record-breaking attendance for the WNBA and their expansion team back in the day. So she's a little tone deaf, but she'll get it together. Somebody that'll get in her ear soon. That's my first takeaway is does she know where she plays? It's a strange league sometimes the things that they complain about. Like they're adding expand. It's those three cities that they're going to be adding before the end of 2030 is gonna combine for $750 million in revenue.

250 to purchase for an entry fee. How about we just accept them into our league? And didn't it fail in Miami? Big, like she just wants to live in Miami or Nashville, it sounds like. All right, that's what it is. She wants that unrivaled invite. Didn't it fail?

Big, it did fail. It's a different league at the time, but. Big time! All right, very good. So the top five movies to watch on July 4th. I've got a nominee here. I will see if it's on, I'm gonna write it down and we'll see if it's on Juju's list.

Any OLI or you're just gonna, you're gonna go top five raw? I kind of got a lot of OLI so I might need to expand it to a top 10 and go through them pretty fast. Alright, OLI, Inglourious Basterds. You gotta check that out. Number 10, Armageddon. Number nine, Saving Private Ryan. Number eight, Terminator 2. Just a good movie. Number seven, Independence Day. I have that one. That's the one I wrote down. Went on a limb there, huh Dan? But Terminator 2 though, what's he doing? Like what's Terminator, what does Terminator 2 have to do with July 4th?

Absolutely nothing. Number six, do the right thing. Wait a minute. Number five, roots. I don't know what he's doing now. Number four, Coming to America. These are just movies that he wants to watch. Number three, Rocky IV.

Number two, Glory. And number one, Django Unchained. Wait a minute, this list makes no sense. It's just what Juju wants to watch on July 4th. Let's update some polls here at LeBotard Show before we open up the club. What else you got Juju? It's ridiculous what you just did there. Independence Day was like the only, does Do the Right Thing count just because it's a summer movie? Like I don't know, they don't even mention July 4th in Do the Right Thing. Like I don't know, they don't even mention July 4th and do the right thing.

Look, make your own list, Dan-O. Does Rick Carlile look like a retired member of the Blue Man Group? 95% of the audience says yes, he does. That's a March Sadness entry right there. That's really good. Hell yeah. If the umpire is daydreaming during a check swing,

is he going to hold out his hands and just do the safe signal? Got him. 97% of the audience says, yes he is. Big week for Chris Cody. Like your takes this week. If umpires aren't allowed in casinos, can they walk through a casino to get to a magic show?

57% of the audience says no, they cannot. Can't do that. Dang it. But then we learn they are allowed to do both. Hmm. Is lunch money still something that bullies take? 54% of the audience says no, it is not. I really do have this question for you guys,

because I don't have children and you guys are in the non-Jake Paul dad demo. Are kids still going to school with lunch money? We've been packing lunch over here. Are kids all over America going to school with cash for lunch? They have digital accounts and stuff now. You put money in their accounts. Yeah. So you can't Bully can't steal your digital money then then stealing money

So money stolen all the only time we sent my daughter to school with cash was like a book fair It was like we put $25 in there and a little ziplock and like go bake sale for me and lunch is only like a dollar 50 it's it's a weak score for a bully. So you could steal the book fair money. That's still okay. I'm glad we got all those clarifications. Keep going. Speaking of daughters, I want to wish a happy birthday to one of our top listeners, Billy Gill's daughter. Early birthday coming up on Sunday. Salute my brother. She listens. That's nice. Thank you. How many Jake Paul fights that she bought? She's seen like eight of them. I think you will forgive me here for not having the happy birthday

I don't care Good luck. You nailed it. Well tell the difference. She shares a birthday with juju So whose birthday is actually this weekend as well really? Birthday So, JuJu's birthday is actually this weekend as well. Really? Wow, happy birthday. Happy birthday to him. I don't care, good luck. Thank you guys. Are you automatically awarded first base if you kill the umpire with the line drive?

77% of the audience says, yes you are. New strategy. 77% of the audience says, yes you are. New strategy. More primitive, first down chain links or umpires drawing the protest P. 63% of the audience says first down chain links. So wrong. Jake Paul's demo, 20 to 30 years old or 30 to 40 years old.

78% of the audience says 20 to 30 years old or 30 to 40 years old. 78% of the audience is 20 to 30 years old. But what about for boxing? I know for his YouTube channel what it is. I'm well out of that. All right, so at Levitard Show, please put that up there. Jake Paul's boxing demo so Mike can avoid being wrong. We still haven't had a single member in the YouTube chat say they bought this fight.

20 to 30 years old or 30 to 40 years old. Do you think a quarter million people ordered this fight on Dazon? Nah, I think Jake Million bought a quarter. Jake bought one? Of that quarter. If someone gave you 100 chances, could you catch a fly ball with your bare hand?

89% of the audience says yes, they could. You're way off. You give me a hundred chances at most things. I'm gonna do it. I'm telling you, it's gotta be two tries. You give Pat Riley a hundred and he'll come back with Munson. Yeah.

Which does a regular civilian have a better chance at catching an NFL punt or a fly ball? No with your bare hand it has to be it's not it's got to be a it's got to be with the bare hand Not just a fly ball Well, I screwed it up anyway 66 percent of the audience says yes, that's on me Seems like a very poorly done poll by you yeah, I was rushing does brony live with Lebron 79% of the audience says yes, he does and do you know what a rotary phone is?

54% of the audience says yes, they do. And those are your polls. It says phone in there. That's the part that comes to mind. Thank you, Juju. Happy premature July 4th and happy birthday as well, prematurely, sir. Yes, sir.
