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

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

The tequila. That invented tequila. Broximo.com. Please drink responsibly. Cuervo. I'm still joined by my illustrious co-host, Trista Crick. How are you doing today? The Aces have done it.

Dynasty. You can't deny it. The Dynasty. L. Dynasto. Like, talk about what the Aces. This Aces. team winning three championships in four years, cashing in my sister's bet. Who, Asia Wilson.

I already took the money out. I already took the money out. Sorry, Draft Kings. You're not getting a cent. Reput into your bank into your betting account because I know that I will use it and I will lose it. And that's just what they want me to do. So, no, I already deposit that back in, that baby.

And I think what's fascinating to me is how, like, they really were done. You know what I mean? Like, they really were not the same team. They move on from Kelsey Plum. They bring in Jewel Lloyd. And I actually, to start the year, thought that could be an upgrade just based on, like, what we know Jewel Lloyd has done in Seattle. And then it felt like Jewel maybe just needed to get her swagger back, or maybe her age

was starting to, like, catch up to her. She chooses, asks to come off the bench and then, like, things sort of change. But Asia was primarily the only one. that was doing anything offensively other than Jackie Young. It was just those two, and outside of that, it was just very anemic. But that, they

trade for Nalissa Smith, which I think made a lot of help for Asia, and then getting slapped into the mouth by the links, I think, really woke them up. But I don't want to act like we were all wrong to be concerned about a team that was

seven. And just teetering on the edge of missing the playoffs altogether, what we've seen is probably Juju one of the greatest turnarounds in basketball history. And like a dynasty, a team that's won multiple championships, they can always do that. That's what the Warriors did, right? Like they were done, they made some tweaks, they get Jordan Poole, which I guess is like different than Jewel Lloyd, but kind of, you know what I mean?

Like another bucket getter. And then the chips go right for them. and they win again. But I'm not necessarily going to say, like, because the Aces, I don't know if you saw this, they took a bunch of good follow clips from Roz and a bunch of other podcasts that called them done. Damn.

Yeah, they keep their receipts. And I'm sorry, the Aces, your time is over. You're a team that can beat the bad teams, but can't beat the good teams. Maybe you're just not a good team. What are the Aces right now? I think what you just said, not a good team. Brazz, is the Aces Dynasty over?

Honestly, probably yes. Young Stouts. Puss, hits, push the foul. Jackie, on takeover. The Gray underneath gets it to go in a foul. Gray, what a dish. Ten assists. now for Gray.

I see them being at the middle of the pack at best. The Las Vegas Aces may end up in a situation where they may have to consider trading the agent Wilson. Wilson! You bet! You bet! Wilson, fading and hitting. But they were done.

They were done. Bro, they need to take some clips from the alley-Upe. I believe in them the whole time. They asked me mid-season. I was like, bro, they're going to get it together. get it together that's miss rebecca i know she's lost this record matter of fact never mind they don't have the records miss rebecca i love i'm right here at mama scotch you yes i can why didn't you send our uh clips to the aces uh via snail i don't i don't think she knew i don't think she knew

that they even said that and like if you're gonna do it i said that y'all were done on the letter shoot and probably also on the alley-oop but like you're were. If that 53 point win doesn't happen from the links and you don't have Asia Wilson talking smack to the team being like, yo, if you're not ready to come and compete, then you need to leave. Like Becky Hammond looked like she was about to have a coronary all season long. Like it's just, I just think it's like wrong to be like, see, see, we, we had it this whole time. Y'all just didn't recognize. But they're tremendous. Jackie Young and Asia Wilson and as a duo need to stick together forever.

Yeah, when you win the championship, though, you can celebrate how you want to celebrate. Hey, yeah, you can. You want to make a video? Make a video. Speaking of videos, Kathy, Miss Kathy got up there and presented the trophy to the aces after the game. Ms. Rebecca, if you have this video,

this is the loudest boo I have ever heard in recent history. Take it away, Ms. Rebecca. Davis? And to present the trophy for YouTube TV, here is WMBA Commissioner Kathy Engelbart. Boo! Thank you, Holly. Well, we're here today to celebrate a champion. Thank you to all the fans.

Phoenix had a great run to get here. And I just want to congratulate the Aces on a performance, 2025 WMBA champ. Oh, sheesh. Look, and the video from the inside. the arena was even worse, bro. You couldn't even hear her microphone no more. I'm talking about the loudest boo. I think Sis might need to go ahead and tender her resignation just to help herself out.

What you think? I think the other booze that are like, I guess rival is the boo that we all kind of have tongue in cheek where it's Roger Goodell at the draft. But like that's a schick. This was a legit impromptu F-U boo. This was a where, and then they asked Asia and the rest of the Aces like, hey, what did you, what did you think about your commissioner getting booed? And they were laughing. They were giggling at hers.

There's no love lost. It's one thing when the fans don't like you. It's another thing when you're getting bullied by the fans and the rest of your colleagues that you are in business with. They're like, yeah, you, do you see her get booed? Oh, man, damn. That was a cold piece right there, but she deserves it. Yep. She deserve it.

Do you predict the lockout? Are we going to see any WMBA in the near future or is it going to be lock, I'm going to say this. I, I, locked out, they won't let me play no. Hey. I think we get a, I think we get a lockout, but I also think we have games start on time. Okay. So I think from now when the, you know, expiration of the CBA happens, which is in like,

I think two weeks, till, till. April, I think there's no deal done. I think we get a deal done in the final four or the elite eight. I think we're waiting. So that means like free agency. I don't know what happens at that point. Do you sign the deal and then like you're not going to sign the deal until you're going to get new money. That's why they're all free agents.

So you may have free agency last until, like we might not have rosters until April. That's what I think is so crazy because it's like 80% or something crazy in terms of the available talent that can change teams. So that's the part that really is interesting is that these rosters aren't set and they might not be set until like two weeks before the season. So it's going to be chaos even if there is a season. Right. If the roster set or not, I know one damn thing that Atlanta Dream still charging my account for these tickets on time. They already charge you? brother tomorrow is the day he sent me the email hey bro just happy to have you back for the

2006 season i'm about the lead corso is behind not so fast my friend yeah what dog i'm not paying you until i know we have a season exactly what are we doing that's crazy to me juju and more people need to know that they're asking for season ticket money right as the season It ends for the next season. In terrible fashion, too, against the fever. I'm not going to bring it back up because it's painful. But, yeah, bro. Get it together, man.

At least have a season on the docket before you start taxing my pockets. Listen, Juji, do you want to post up? I think what we should do is we should plan a couple of weeks. We post up at the Meadowlark Hotel and we get season unrivaled tickets. Those are the tickets I'm ready. Those are the tickets I'm ready to see. They'll put us up in. sweet fashion for no money we'll hang out we'll do dLS will we'll be the unrivaled correspondence what

you think about that i'm locked in i like it i like it because we know that season's going to happen oh yeah that thing going to happen no matter what it's already going to happen the year after that and the year after that they're getting money over there and the m i a yo but moving on real quick because wmba season is over now and we got the NBA season coming around that mountain she comes. So I'm going to ask you a way too early question right now. Who is winning the NBA championship this year coming up? Oh man, Juju. What I will say is this. It's really hard to repeat. It's really, really hard to repeat. I think the Thunder will win 67 games this year. Yeah. But a team that I think is not getting nearly enough respect, and I think,

probably people who are in the know are giving them respect, but the casual fans are not, is the Denver Nuggets. What the Denver Nuggets have done, first of all, they took the Thunder to seven. And in game either five or six, I forget which one it was, Denver was up 10 points in the fourth quarter, and they just melted in the sun.

And the Thunder found a way to win that game. There's a realistic chance that Denver, even as shallow as their team was last year, could have gone to the finals. Yeah. So you add Bruce Brown back into the mix, Brucey Brown, Brucey B, as Michael Malone used to call him. You add another center because the on-off minutes for Yokic

have been horrendous in Jonas Valencianus. They said, take your ass away from Greece. You're coming into this team and you're going to play. You get Cam Johnson, who I think Cam Johnson's going to change everything about this team. A lot of people think it's just like a better Michael Porter Jr. They don't play the same at all. He's an incredible passer. He cuts without the basketball a lot.

and he's going to open things up for the perimeter. Impeccable Afro, too. Impeccable Afro as well. And then you have Tim Hardaway Jr. off the bench who's going to provide some much-needed shooting and rotation buckets. So they really made a lot of changes. Then you also have Holmes, and he's coming off that ACL.

He was awesome in Summer League. So there's a lot, or Achilles, I forget which one, but there's a lot to like about the Nuggets. And I think it's going to make things a lot easier for Denver. They could be the two seats. So for me, it's Denver. Who is it for you? I mean, I hate when this happens.

This has never happened before in the alley-Ut. But I guess the Denver Nuggets as well, because I'm looking at Joker. I'm looking at how he almost got that team. Michael Porter, Jr. in that weak-ass shoulder, that team, Russell Westbrook shooting on and off. He might hit you five in a row. He might hit you zero out of ten. That team almost went to the. the finals last year. So you take those things away as well as the coaching confusion and all that

noise that was surrounding them. I think they are poised who, dare I say, especially with my Celtics out this year for sure. I'm going with the nuggets. Yeah, I like that. And then real quick, not to pile on too much, but listen, you still have players that stepped up for the Nuggets that are only getting a year older that Michael Malone didn't want to play that much. So you talk about the Julian Strawlers of the world, and he had an awesome game. So there's just- A impeccable Jerry Curl drip, impeccable. He does.

And so there's a lot of young players as you look at them, Christian Brown, I didn't mention, right? You also have Peyton Watson right there. So you've got like a now a team that was really not deep at all and a team that is super deep like 9, 10, 11 deep. And that's how you compete with the thunder is when Shea's off the floor and they're having other guys play, you've got dudes that can give you buckets like Tim Hardaway. So I think it's going to be them. I really do. Yeah. Speaking of buckets, our bucket getter, our main bucket getter over here is Ms. Rebecca Donahue, Dr. Rebecca Donahue.

and we like to toss it to her for a segment called Boy Stop First of, Ms. Rebecca, how are you feeling today, sis? I'm doing all right, Chew-Jew. I'm doing all right. How are you doing? I'm doing pretty good. How was your weekend?

It was okay. Where are we going with this? Where are we going? He's stalling for you. He's trying. He is. I'm saying, look, she don't know what to do. He doesn't, he doesn't even.

know the type of wizardry that juju and here's the thing mr rebecca when he's asking you these things you need to be furiously getting the clips up what that's that you're like a mama knows that because you're standing there where's this going juju it was actually okay weekend how about that she's just sitting there frozen like where is i got a video god we're gonna have to believe just play whichever video you got first miss rebecca He's not even asking much, just something. Oh, my goodness. We love our friends at Draft King's 100%.

Always. We wrap for Draft Kings. Exactly. Draft King users always pay attention to the small print below. If you have a gambling problem, please dial Hope NY. 1-800, Hope N-Y. Right. Play the video, Ms. Rebecca.

Come on, Bob, I did two more points, homie. Two more points you care about Paul ain't. Listen, I won every day since Sunday. Preseason, but we're left. I won every day since Sunday, bro. Get him out of here. Ban whoever that is from the arena. First of all, you betting on preseason basketball.

You, sir, need to go to a meeting or two. I'm not going to say, I'm not going to put you in counseling. But just go take a brochure for the meetings. And then you're going to have the nerve. the audacity to bother Paolo with that need two points. Now, if I'm Paolo, I ain't getting you them two points. I don't give a damn about your bet. How you feel, sis?

I just think, and we're not even talking about betting preseason games. You're betting preseason player props? Are you insane? These players are only playing one half of basketball. We don't know what the rotations are. Are you out of your mind? and I know you got money. Feeder on the floor.

Feeder there. Able to like tackle Palo to get two points. What are we effing doing here? Oh my goodness. Oh, my goodness. I'll tell you what we're doing. Boy, stop.

Come on. Boy, stop. And you recorded yourself doing that goofball. That's the worst. Goofball behavior. Are you dumb? Get them out of here. Next video, Ms. Rebecca.

Okay, I got one here for you. This is my question. Okay. Why? Can Hoopers not tie their shoes, people? Oh, no. It's like an epidemic. I mean, just tie your kick.

He was mean to me when I met him. And so this absolutely gave me, tickled me pink to see my boy down bad like this.

He came up to him. And I asked him if he had Black Air Force energy. And he, and I said, listen, I think that's the type of toughness that the king have and he goes i don't wear black air forces those were the tiffany exclusives and i go excuse me nobody's checking for the little tiffany blue underneath boy stop come home shave it off kings fans hate you because you're not producing as a first round pick and you got you got pissy energy i think i can say pissy i don't know if that can get bleak well that's why his hair fell out he just You just start girl there.
