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

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

The tequila. That invented tequila. Roximo.com. Please drink responsibly. Quervo. With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come. That's the powerful backing of Amex.

Welcome to the big sui. Presented by Draft Kings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys?

I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar. This episode of the Dan Levitart show is presented by Draft Kings. Draft Kings, the crown is yours. Amino Hassan will be here momentarily to give us his weekend observations and spend the hour with us. I will remind you that the Carolina Panthers had Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield in their quarterback room and then just decided to start spending draft picks on quarterbacks. I'm watching the television right now.

Thumbs up or thumbs down on Dominique Foxworth being on Get Up and they've got a segment, zero Fox given, and then it's Dominique Foxworth's head on a cartoon. Fox. That is a thumb down from Tony. It's on site with him. It's still on site with him. Okay, so you're biased. I want to do funniest thing from the sports weekend. Thumbs up. Thumbs down. Great bit. We've gotten away from funniest thing from the sports weekend. Do you like Zero Fox Given? And it's, and it's Dominique Foxworth's head on the cartoon body of a fox that didn't look like a Fox that only looked like a Fox because it was Zero Fox given. It's a play on words. Yeah, I get that. Thumbs down to the Zero Foxx

given... We want that thumb to go this direction. The thumbs up to the cartoon head. It's not a cartoon head. It's his head and a cartoon fox's body. Same thing. Well, what does the Fox say? Chris, what...

Finally, what does the Fox say sound? But can you give me in the interim what was the funniest thing from the sports weekend? What would be your nominee, Chris? Hey, people. Tell us what in the sport made you laugh hardest this weekend.

In this segment, we call What Make You Laugh This Weekend? Dan, my answer is easy. It's Jared Goff doing his version of the Lambo leap in Detroit. Now, we can't show this on video because it'll get us pinged, but look it up. It is hilarious. He's acting like that wall, which St. Brown just kind of leaps, goes backwards, and falls into as easy as possible, and Jared Goff comes running up.

He's like, I want in on this, and he gets, climbs it in a way that you would see a 70-year-old trying to climb something. Pathetic. It's hilarious. And then like the people are trying to help them up. It's just and then St. Brown's like, I got you. It's just hilarious. Jared Goff can't jump.

Jeremy, what is the funniest thing from the sports weekend? Anthony Rizzo having a home run ball hit directly at him in the bleachers and just completely whiffing on it. He had an opportunity for this to be the coolest moment ever. The first career home run for Ballesteros, the Cubs catcher, hit right at him. And it just bounces right off his hands as he's inducted. into the Cubs Hall of Fame. And there's Burke Kreischer.

He got the ball instead of Rizzo. Rizzo's got to come up with that. Obviously has to come up with that. Why do you try to one hand that? What's he holding his phone? Put your phone down, buddy. Brewer's fan gets it, is that? Tony, what was the funniest thing from the sports weekend?

Dan, nobody wanted to talk Jags with you yesterday. It was very unfortunate. I was listening back. I was like, guys, great game. Somebody talk about it. Somebody talk about it. Somebody talk about it. I'm here for both of them.

We can do Jags slash boxing. Why don't you call each other? We could. So, we were texting actually during the game. We were like, this is it. This has to be it. Like, BTJ has to do something. And then he shied away from 16 balls and dropped a fourth down that would have won the game.

Anyways, most importantly, the funniest thing from the sports weekend is Trevor Lawrence in said game, rolling out, feeling pressure on the right side, going to the left, saying, oh, I got an angle here, running three yards past the line of scrimmage on the side that the chains are on. So he sees the line of scrimmage, runs right by them, then throws the ball out of the end. to nobody. He stinks. We got to find a way to get this yellow line

on the field for the players. Is Trevor Lawrence? Or like the black one for the line of scrimmage? It'd be very helpful for them. Is he the quarterback in the league most likely to do that? I feel like he's the one

I most associate with a lack of awareness about where these things are. He does it once a season. I can see two of doing it. Trevor Lawrence, he's the anti-Baker Mayfield. He's the guy who started off

like he's the superstar. He's going to be the next big quarterback. Has been the opposite. And then his career has great. Gradually gone this way. They got him a lot of weapons, man. I know. Billy, what is the funniest thing from the sports weekend?

UCLA paid New Mexico, $1.2 million to come and just take a loss, and instead they beat the Bruins 35 to 10. They fall to 0 and 3, and now they have fired their coach. It's one of my favorite things in sports when the college team pays the other team to come play at them, and then they lose. I love that. But losing 3511 to New Mexico. Deshawn Foster, you guys remember his initial press conference, right?

That career lasted one year. in three games. That's an apocalypse. We could have known from the press conference, right? It was pretty bad press conference. Greg, what was the funniest thing from the sports weekend? Now, I did not hear Tom Brady say this. So I'm using my imagination

to imagine what it sounded like when Tom Brady mispronounced the name Karim Hunt. Yeah, we're not going to play this audio, but it's not. Yeah, let's not. I love making fun of Tom Brady. Love making fun of Tom.

run by. Yeah, I'm afraid of shot clock for that reason. I'm afraid of certain words. I'm not afraid of any word. I'll say what I say. He said it and you're like, was that, I didn't hear the H there. Hearniated disc you got to be careful with. Zaslo, what was the funniest thing from the sports weekend?

I don't know if you guys saw this, but when the Colts kicked the game-winning field goal against the Broncos, so the kick, it's going straight down the middle. They got to do it over the kick is good. But if you notice, the Colts mascot, first of all, he's standing directly underneath the crossbar. Always makes me laugh. Like, why is that a... Number one, why is that allowed? It's allowed because he bangs his head against it when they miss it, and he celebrates it when they make it. And it's delightful.

It's delightful every single time. So he's right under the crossbar as the ball is mid-flight. But as he sees it's going in, mid-flight, he's doing the thing where he's doing the pelvic thrust. right. Well, we're mid play. And he's standing practically in the end zone. Yes, that's his move. Yes, that's why it's great. He's got the best angle of the game. It's so

good. It is funny. And he's got the pelvic thrust. He's got the Bill Parcell's pear-shaped body and so the it undulates the love handles the lower half. It's wonderful. I'm going to nominate something that not a lot of people saw. John Daley broke the professional record

for most strokes on a whole. He had a par five and he got a 19. I saw there was a four-way tie for 18 that he was included in earlier in his career. So he broke his own record that he was tied with. So now he stands alone, 19 strokes, one old. That's on brand for daily. I hate to say it.

But he's now the man of the people drinking beer on the course. This enhances the image he has cultivated post-real career. I read the details on it. This was a 10-cup situation where he just, like, had a thing of like, I can make this. I'm going to get this. He had like four penalties in a row on one shot. I mean, what was the funniest thing from the sports weekend?

19 strokes, one hole was pretty funny right there. No, I had the Russell Wilson throw. You guys know what throw I'm talking about. It was like second down, down at the end of the game. He was so good that game throwing deep. He was, and then he had just that one throw where it was like, what's wrong?

I'm going to steal from my weekend observations, but it reminded me of my shot. Well, it was like... You can't call it. Correct me if I'm wrong because while I remember that was a bit of a punt, it felt to me like he was just saying, do I have the wrong receiver? I just thought it was neighbors. Go do something. I'm going to throw one of these parabola balls up there and I've got neighbors on my team. Go do something. Isn't that who he was following to?

It worked for most of the game, but I'm not talking about that throw. I'm talking about the throw right before the I-N-T. He's trying to throw it out to the slot and then it just got away from him. And his hand kind of did this weird thing. And I saw it. I saw it. I was like, damn, that's my shot. I think we all thought you meant the I&T. No, not the INT. That was just, that was a prayer. That wasn't funny.

It was just sad the way it ended. But I'm talking about the play right before it, where they were second and long because his hand kind of flopped when he tried to throw the ball. Can you turn down the circus music real quick so we can transition to more serious subject matter? If you have not seen a mean lately on Pablo Tori finds out, he's been kicking ass with David Sampson before we get into that story and before we get into a means weekend observation

since Jeremy mentioned it can you just play what does the Fox say so that we can close the loop on that and just make fun of Stugats' pronunciations Thank you. Dan goes, Bo goes. Tim goes, and Pat goes. Yarned!

Poppy goes. Ah ha ha! Dan goes, and the Van Gundy goes. Look, like the lawn. And Bill goes. And the gills goes. And the gills. But there's one sound

That no one knows What does the guy say? Horror, Arabangli, synony, Community, mirror, raw, Jersey, term, human, tumpy, unparrow What the guy say! May I meet, create, stubborn, open apple, October, ah,

Recolation Among Fray A friend family What the Gats say For those of you asking Stugats God bless football

Stupati it is quite the undertaking to do some stuff like this that is business building on your own. You should know that Stucats will be back here shortly as soon as he's got everything up and running. He'll be shortly? He always arrives everywhere shortly. Yes, that's how he does it. I mean, the story that you've been working on with Pablo Torre that continues to have advancements, and he is months and miles ahead of everyone on.

One of the more curious things, and I didn't get this, why was the NBA media feeling like it was downplaying this story before Pablo had the second episode? It was weird to me to watch so many people just sort of want it not to be true that Balmer wouldn't know. I thought that they would go the opposite way on that. What happened there? Do they just like Balmer? Yeah, I think there's a lot of things at play. One of them is, Balmer's a nice guy. And he is overall good for the league.

He's a good ambassador for the league. He's been a good owner for the Clippers. He's invested a lot of money and into the fan experience. So overall, I think, like, I often wonder, if this was Jim Dolan, how would the media respond? I think everyone would have the knives out because he's an easy target. But Steve Balmer makes people like, oh, not Steve. He's a good guy, et cetera, et cetera. The other thing also is it goes back to the thing you always like to talk about is that we like to think these guys are

so brilliant. And, you know, when we are face to face with, maybe not that brilliant, that kind of shatters our preconceived notions. And I think people have a problem with that. And then the last part is, I'm going to say it, I think there's a little bit of jealousy, a little bit of hint of jealousy because Pablo not only has the resources to do this kind of reporting, but also he's got the freedom to not have to do the type of reporting that most of these other people have to do. everyone else is chasing who's signing where get traded wear and all that stuff and Pablo doesn't have to spend any molecules of energy on that all of his time is spent on breaking these huge stories and slash or having alonzo hamburger Jones on the show it's quite the

niche he's carved out for himself i can speak from experience when you get beat on a big story your human instinct is to downplay that as if what you got beat on wasn't that biggest story And if you're a full-time NBA journalist trying to get stories just like this and you get beat by a guy in a podcast who really isn't affiliated with the NBA much, you sting. It stings. Greg, what's an example of either a story you got beat on where you felt like, oh, man, that's not that big of a story or a story that you beat someone else to and they try to downplay it for you? Well, I go way back to the 80s where there was the, what was it called Dan Autogate? What was it called? The Miami news was breaking stories about the University of Miami.

And what a quaint time, now that you think of NIL. Somebody may have gotten a car as Carson Benk gets his Lamborghini stole it. One of his two cars. One of his two cars. But yes, there was a Greg Cody, to be fair to Greg Cody. And I wasn't good at this either. The breaking of news I was terrible at, didn't like doing it. And Greg wasn't great at it either.

No, I wasn't. I did have a couple of minor scoops when I did. a guy. Dan's engagement. A guy was arrested and I had that first. But that was a big story that Miami News broke. And yeah, my instinct is, man, how can I follow this story and make it seem like I wasn't beat as badly as I was on a big story? And so that's, I think that's what was at play. I think our last, didn't our last draft Kings deal get reported and you didn't get that scoop? I think that's what you're mad about. It could be. I find it hard to believe, though, that what you guys are saying here would be right in terms of

of jealousy just because this story is so complicated and took so much time, I don't think anybody would have wanted to do it. It would have been too hard to do this story. Yeah, Dan, it's hard because most people, most reporters don't have, again, the resources and the latitude, right? Even given the resources, just the latitude of, I can focus all my energy. For seven months, Pablo investigated this, which is why when Mark Cuban has his rebuttals and all these other podcast like you guys are sitting on the on your couch basically ah whatever this dude put in seven months of reporting on this and it goes a little bit beyond just an opinion well i don't think he would have done that or or he couldn't have done that the other thing i want to point out

is people keep saying he wouldn't be that sloppy about steve balmer this was anything but sloppy this was an incredibly sophisticated scheme allegedly right that is only uncovered by either A, Quy Leonard deciding I need to get every last penny of mine, so I'm going to be listed as a creditor. B, this company even going on her to begin with, and C, Pablo Tori spending seven months, tracking things down and talking to people on the record and all those things. Like, that's a lot of stuff that needed to go wrong for the clippers to get found out. So stop talking about how this was sloppy. This was anything but sloppy. I mean, let's say that the NBA's findings, I know they've hired an outside.

firm, but let's say the findings are what Pablo has reported on. Worst case scenario, what does Adam Silver do? Worst case scenario, we're talking forfeiture of picks. We're talking voiding of Quiet Leonard's contract. Steve Ballmer suspended. Dennis Wong probably suspended. Hefty fine, probably up to $10 million, I believe. And that's pretty much it.

I know the commission's talking about he has broad powers. but the collective bargaining agreement is pretty specific about what the penalties are. I had someone ask me, can they lower the cap on them or lower the apron? No, you can't because the rules in Article 13 of the collective bargaining agreement are pretty specific on what the commissioner can and can do to punish a cap circumvention situation. Does Malik neighbors doing the night night celebration leading to the Cowboys win? Is that something that would have been the funniest thing from that game instead of you, choosing the throw before the interception?

Yeah, the night night thing. As soon as he did it, I looked at the clock, I said, that's not when you do it. Like, you do it when it's done when they're in the ground. And that hasn't happened quite yet. Again, it wasn't funny because I was watching the game and I went from the high of, oh, my God, the Giants are about to do this the day after Georgia Tech beat the shit out of Clemson. Well, how about that? We're not going to just scoot over that one.

Congratulations. We talked about that. You've got a well-coached team. You've got a team that overachieves. It's such a nice-looking team. Dan, you know what? I was watching that game, and I was so happy, and at the same time, I got incredibly sad.

And it reminded me of, I was sad because I watched Brett Key, and I was like, oh, he's going to be Alabama's coach next year. Like, there's no chance we're going to hold on to this guy. He's too good of a coach. He's going to get a bigger job, probably Alabama, when they fire the Jamok that they have right now. Now, but when I thought about the happiness and the sadness at the same time, it reminded me of my dad, my dad would sigh deeply on Friday and I'm like, dad, what's wrong?

Monday is like the day after tomorrow. Like he was already looking forward to the disappointment of Monday on Friday coming home from work. And that's how I felt like. I was only looking forward to the disappointment of Brent Key leaving after he's done so many amazing things at Georgia Tech. That's an excellent way to go through life. always, miserable, never feeling actual joy.

Let's do weekend observations, please. It is time for Stugats to share his game notes. No. No one in the media will tell you what happened better than my boy, Stu. He's coming. Dan? Oh, weekend observations is presented by Miller Light. Dan?

This past weekend in Vegas, we had ourselves a throwback. The stars are. out. The pomp and circumstance was first class. The attention of the entire sports world was fixated as we watched a black guy and a brown guy beat the ever-living shit out of each other in a meaningful boxing match. Courtesy of the Saudis. Remember when everyone was up in arms about live golf being in Saudi Arabia? That was fun. Patrick Mahomes gets the blame for the interception because Travis Kelsey made a business decision. That seems unfair.

There should be a different stat for when an interception is thrown because the receiver messed it up, right? Like, that shouldn't count on the quarterback. Should it? No opinions, got it. No, I'm sorry. Tony's heckling me. I'm sorry.

I'm not heckling you. While you were talking, Tony's like, hey, Dan, how about Sam Morel taking $500,000 from the Saudis to do the comedy festival? That's what I was getting in my year. And Joe Coy's on fire. As you were. Everybody. Everybody took the money

Everybody took the money I think Santino's there too Santino's there Bobby Lee's there everyone's there Chip Kelly Offensive coordinator for the Raiders Said he goes through film Two to three times a week with Tom Brady

Might want up the dosage there, Chief Great seeing Max Kellerman working again So that's where he's been Hey Smetty your alma mater sucks no not that one the other one

although that one sucks too where's pallor when you need him Canelo Alvarez looks like Blake Griffin's cousin from Mexico put it on the poll please at Levittar show

does Canelo Alvarez look like Blake Griffin's cousin shorter from Mexico next time someone asked me about something I don't want to talk about, I'm going to start talking about construction going on at my house. The Dolphins are 0-2. Greg Cody, stay strong. Baker Mayfield, he's got the goods, dude. Haynes King, best running quarterback in the nation. Book it. I can't tell whether the injury Turf To has great PR or terrible PR. Is there any injury that sounds

more benign than turf toe, right? Turfto sounds like, oh, I had some turfto. And this guy's out for three months now because of turfto. The Giants lead the league in fun names. Dark. Neighbors. Scataboo.

They even have a Thibito. This one is black, though. Jorge Garbojosa is the president of Fiba Europe. So that's where he's been. Russell Wilson, through that one. one pass, like I shot that one shot. You know both the pass and shot what I'm talking about. Apparently not though, because everyone acted like they'd never

remember that pass, okay. What's the Charlie Sheen doc? In it, we learned that Charlie Sheen once got loaded drunk on a commercial flight and the captain let him fly the plane. That was horrifying. What? That was horrifying. That's how it started.

That's how the documentary starts. What? Dan, for some people, that idea is horrifying. For others, it's slightly less horrifying than having a black pilot. Isn't it weird when drug addicts are clean-shaven? You think about that? Like, I'm watching Charlie Sheen throughout this entire documentary, two-part documentary, which is really revelatory, and him crashing and all this stuff

and looking really wild-eyed and crazy, his hair is crazy. But he's always clean-shaven. Like every morning Charlie Sheen's getting up in front of the mirror Like all drugged out And like hold on You gotta make sure this thing is nice and smooth I think the Sheens and the Estevez

Just have trouble growing facial hair All three of them Martin, Emilio None of them can grow facial hair I don't know he had those sideburns That one time he came out of rehab That were really funky looking Everyone needs a Tony Todd That's his best friend

and stuck with them through thick and thin. Everyone also needs a Marco. That's his other best friend, who's a drug dealer, who made the crack weaker so that Charlie could get weaned off of it. That's awful. Put it on the poll at Lebitard show. Is your friend making the Coke weaker so you can get weaned off it thoughtful? Not Coke, crack.

Sorry. Seven gram rocks, folks. Sorry. That shit was real. Hey, Netflix. Reboot Ozark. with Steve Balmer. Jamal Haynes.

First round talent. Genevieve O'Reilly should have won an Emmy for Andor. It's the best show that none of you guys are talking about because it's Star Wars, but it's actually a really well-done show. It's got a lot of politics in it. You should watch it. Where did you side when I said that if I gave Mobland six or seven seasons like the Sopranos, it would be better than the Sopranos?

I think I could see how you get that logic, but I think you always have to give respect to how well the Sopranos was done because that basically informed a generation of TV creators. Oh, this is the standard now. There have been so many good shows that fall off after a few seasons. I get that you don't think that would happen here, but that happens a lot. Understood, but Guy Ritchie tends to make good things, and it's usually not directors that are making the shows.

Like, it's not signature directors from the movies. You think Scorsese's going to fall apart after five or six seasons? Like, do you believe that he's going to make things that are bad? Well, to be fair, Bordwock Empire, while I liked it all the way through the end, it certainly wasn't the same as it was at the beginning. I'm almost done with it. I think it's good. It is good, but it's not as good as when it started, right?

Correct. There you go. And that was Scorsese, right? All right. The Moore Steve Bomber, Mark Cuban. Andre Churny and the worldwide leader and anyone else deny the allegations, the more Pablo looks like the truth teller of the year. Half time of Raiders Chargers came after 11.30 p.m. Eastern. East Coast, how do y'all do it? RIP Charlie Rosen. Great author of books like The Wizard of Odds, more than a game, players and pretenders, and perfectly all.

awful, all of which describe me on a date. Adam Silver, calling the NBA a highlight league. It's like admitting that you don't actually read the articles in Playboy. We know you aren't lying,

but don't say the quiet part out loud. Shout out to Nile Nights this weekend in New York City. Tickets available now. Support a good cause. Keelan Rutledge is a grown-ass man. Dan, do you know about this kid? he's a grown-ass man

yeah he was a place for tech he was in a car accident two years ago and they nearly amputated his foot same foot would go on to help stomp on Clemson on Saturday you're feeling yourself now huh you're you're no longer

a rambling wreck Dan I actually started looking at hotels for the ACC championship game wow that's where I'm at that's going to be Miami Georgia Tech Oh, well, you know how that's been recently. Northwestern will be the first sports team in history to make a massive step down when they move into their new arena.

Do you guys see where they're playing? They're playing in a makeshift stadium, but it's on the lake. It looks beautiful. It looks picture perfect. The surrounding area is gorgeous, but the stadium itself, those seats. No bounce house. Nah. George the Messiah in an aura ad makes me want to call my agent and wonder where we went wrong.

You guys know who George the Messiah is? Yep. Yeah. Scalbriene took that ass. Yeah, he did. You guys, he was in an ad during the Canelo fight for the aura rings. And I was like, this guy's got an agent? When Scalabrini, have you talked to Scalabrini about taking him down in Rucker Park?

It wasn't Rucker, West Forth Street. It was at West Fourth. But, yeah, I talked to him briefly about. About it. This is a guy, for those of you who do not know, this is a guy who trash talked and said he could take everyone down on the playground and then he could beat NBA players and then Scalabrini just dusted him. Well, no, he specifically said he would beat Scalabrini. That's called out. Had no chance.

None. That's why Tony has no chance against Amici. Come on. Meech is like 80 at this point. This guy hasn't touched the ball in 17 years. Come on. It's like riding a bike, Tony. Back to the Canello Crawford fight.

Some faces in the crowd. Stephen A. Smith. Look like he got his shirt from Dan Flashes. Dave Chappelle. Look like he was styled by the Incredible Hulk. I pray I never get buff enough where, like, sleeves are an impediment. Mark Anthony. Button that shirt up.

You getting started on the breakfast flan? Oh man. I've been singing a song to myself all morning long. Breakfast flan. Stugats. Have you never heard the breakfast flound song? No, hit me with it. Okay.

I wish I had some breakfast flound. Breakfast flaunt. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Where can I find a breakfast like that? This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats. Before we let you get out of here and before we talk to you about xenophobia, you mentioned Pablo and looking good during these times. I'm reminded of a quote, I do not know who said it, quote, during times of universal deceit telling the truth

becomes a revolutionary act. What do you believe to be the most interesting thing of all the things that you and Samson have sat there for as Pablo surprises you again and again because he's unveiling his news to you guys from the entire macro of the story, not just surprises individually. What do you think is the most interesting thing?

Ooh, I mean, I think the most interesting thing, like I said, is how sophisticated this, this alleged scheme is. It's not, it's, I mean, it's, it involves a corporate partner and shell companies and money is diverted and a no-show job. And it's like, there's a lot of layers to this. And it pains me whenever people say, well, call me whenever they have the Joe Smith smoking gun. And I said, I mean, clearly they learn from the Joe Smith situation. like you can't have just a direct piece of paper here's money under the table you've got to be more sophisticated and i think like i said earlier they did a remarkable job allegedly and the only thing that basically undid them was the corporate partner being a huge scam they couldn't have seen that coming the that quai leonard and his camp could not just let the last seven mill go and that uh pablo tori exists that he exists and he did all those work and and dug and found all that out. But other than those three things happening, they would have got away with it, Scott

free. And I think that's something that a lot of people need to keep in mind. Also, the fact that the dude's daughter worked for the company, Dennis Wong's daughter, come on, man. She works, sorry. I mean, what's been the most enjoyable part for you, like as a bystander, watching all of it unfold? I think the most enjoyable part was,

watching like having recorded the episode already but the episode didn't drop until Thursday so watching people react to Adam Silver's press conference after the board of governors and then making up all these kind of oh I'm sure these explanations or whatever and knowing oh no you guys don't even know

the next part where the vice chairman has a two million dollar cash infusion into this crashing ship right and also like just that part just just finding out oh the money came from DEA 88 and that's registered under Dennis Wong who owns one percent of the clippers the only percentage that Steve bomber doesn't own oh yeah he's his college roommate oh yeah he knew that the company was going down or had to

know because his daughter worked there all of that having to sit and keep that to myself while people were like yeah I don't know about this reporting and all that it was just so good so good one of the things we've been telling you guys around here is that in this of individual creators. A lot of people around here are starting their own thing. Amin for a long time has had Cynaphobe. It is a project, a labor of great love for him because it's different than anything else out there

in terms of who's talking about movies where. What's coming up on Cinephobe, I mean? This week we have the 2007 movie War featuring Jet Lee and Jason Statham before he fully committed to shaving his head. so he still has like this weird peach fuzz on the top of his head it is everything you want from an early 2000s action movie the kind of action movies that don't exist anymore i kind of miss them right it's not about like quick cuts and sleek hand-to-hand combat like john wick no no it's just big dumb action get a gun shoot a bunch of people have jet lee roundhouse kick someone great fun we have not talked about robert redford passing away at 89 years old i'm wondering if this is when he dies, if that

time dies with him, that it's not even possible for someone to be a movie star like that anymore because of how fractured things are and where it is you get things, some of them on television, some of them on your phone. Do I have it wrong?

The movie star cannot be what Robert Redford was anymore. Do I have this incorrect? I mean, it's harder, for sure. Like, who's the, who even has a chance of being that? Timothy Shalame. Salome is the argument.

Is DiCaprio too old for me to put in that argument? No, DiCaprio's of the, he's sort of the same ushered in. I'm talking about next. I'm talking about. Yeah. I said, yeah. I said, yeah. See you later.

I mean, good talking to you. Thank you. Did you guys see the numbers that, uh, Netflix put out on Canello and Crawford? No. 41 million they claim. No way. No way.

No way. What do you mean no way? What do you mean no way? No, 41 million viewers. I don't believe that. I can't believe that. Would you believe it when I tell you that Jake Paul and Tyson did 108 million? Yeah, because Jake Paul is a face of boxing.

Wait a minute. You guys, you are sitting here saying that you think that it's normal. for Jake Paul to do two and a half times what the best boxer in the world did against Canello Alvarez? Is this them claiming that this is how many TV streamed it or is this their math of people watched it? You know what I mean?

Because I could have 10 people at my house watching one TV. We did. I was at the Baster Party and there was 12 dudes huddled around the TV watching Conello. I'm wondering if they're doing some math of that's how many people watched or that's how many sets were streaming the fight.

I'm used to the narcissism you guys generally have that if you haven't seen it, it's not important to anyone else. But there were a lot of people who were interested in this fight, and it still only drew a third as much as a circus carnival act. Somebody's going to put, it's being put together, right? Mayweather and Tyson, like, we've turned boxing into the circus. The thing that's going to get numbers is the circus,

because there aren't very many people in boxing right now fighting that the mainstream finds interesting. You've got to have boxers people care about. You've got to have, if it's not going to be giant punching, power, it has to be either stories people care about or people, fighters people care about. And so that's what happens, right? The Mayweather Tyson fight's going to happen, correct? Yeah, it's just like, at what point do you feel like the circus kind of runs out of gas? And it's like Mayweather, okay, this is the last time we saw it was fight Logan Paul stood him up at the heartache.

It's all a scam. It's such a scam. Is boxing dead? Well, no, it's not dead. Forty-one million people allegedly just watched Canello-Alvarez fights. It's always pay-per-view monster. Always. me, what's the other guy's name again? Terrence? We're really doing this? He's the best. Bud Crawford.

He's been on the show before. I hate this. I hate what we're doing here. No, but it's just we don't see what we're showing in terms of our ignorance by yawning and being indifferent about a story that a lot of people do care about. Not any of them in this room. It says 41 million viewers.

So it's not for like if it's, I don't know. I want to know what they mean here, whether this is 41 Netflix accounts that we're streaming or 41 million people. 41 accounts, all of them had a million people watching. There you go. That would be clear for me. I mean, you can't think that Mayweather versus Tyson is a good thing for

boxing. You can't think that, can you? What's a good thing for boxing? That I saw Canello Alvarez look undressed the way I've only seen one other time with Floyd Mayweather, and Canello said afterward that Crawford is better than Floyd. Like, I'm not

going to not find that interesting, but I'm talking to a group of people who could not possibly care any less about this. And neither does that younger and smarter audience that you want, Dan. Now's 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 Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during an ad 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.
