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. Summer is Tim's ice latte season. It's also hikes season, pool season, picnic season, and yeah, I'm down season. So drink it up with Tim's ice lattes, now whipped for a smooth taste.

The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard 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 is presented by Draft Kings. draft kings the crown is yours why do people think that when you sneeze it means you're cold i've never heard that it happens all the time loony tunes i was in i was in pepper in your nose maybe you have a cold no no no no i was in the uber last night or yesterday on my way to the airport and i sneezed and by the way it was like a zillion degrees and the guys aces was not working

that great and he was you use the function when you order the uber where you could set the preference i want it cold i want it medium yeah use that yeah like and like also how quiet you want, if you want to talk to you? I actually do it not, usually the temperature's fine. Most people, like, very rarely do I have to let the person know, yo, turn it up or turn it down. Do you ever have to let the person know, yo, my preference was quiet, you're talking? Quiet, that's the one.

But, like, I have great passive-aggressive ways of letting people know I don't want to talk. Like what? Well, it's like, I've got my headphones on and on my phone. And sometimes I'm not even listening to anything. It just, I have headphones on. You do the thing like you are, like, wait, what's that? Yeah, exactly. You're going to have to repeat every question.

So, where you're flying? What was that? While the headphone creeps back up to your ear to signify, you're done talking once the headphone goes over the... I answered the question, exactly. I think people's nose runs sometimes when they're cold. Which can lead to sneezing. I sneezed and the guy was like, is it too cold?

I'm like, I'm sweating. What are you talking about? Is it too cold? What does I have to do anything? That guy's alert to the situation. He's like, I want to, oh, you okay? That's just him like, oh, you sneezed? Can I do anything to help?

It happens a lot. You need a tissue? Sneeze. No, what? The tissue? That's fine. bless you is fine is it too cold as i'm sweating bullets it just was such a weird thing but then it made me realize that happens a lot i sneezed someone says oh is it cold like what does

cold have to do with sneezing and i think mike you had the answer it's loony tunes it's everything we everything we learned was from bugs bunny yeah and that's it right they set up tropes they established tropes that stayed with a generation for the remainder of its lives mike what happens if I shoot you in the face. Well, sometimes... Yeah, if I shoot you in the face, what happens? Well, sometimes the bullet doesn't come out. There's a flag that says bang.

Bang. I wouldn't go with the Looney Tunes defense on things like that. Like, oh, you know, I just crashed into someone with a car, but Wiley Coyote got right back up, so it's okay. Like, I don't... I wouldn't live my life by Looney Tunes rules. I mean, Daffy Ducks Bill went backwards. Yeah, the bill goes backwards.

Or if I crash into a guy of the car, his mouth becomes an accordion. Yeah. That's one, right? I think it... They didn't... Well, in the Looney Tunes, they did overtly say people were drunk, but people would have the hiccups in cartoons. Oh, yeah. In the old school.

The Chippo X bottle. And it became a trope. Yep. I think we can thank Dumbo for that one, too. If I run off a cliff, like I'll fall immediately, right? No, no, no, no, you don't fall immediately. You say in the air suspended for a little. And in the whistle.

What if I'd never notice that I've run off the cliff? You can't. If you never notice, then you're fine. You can't give it the power of noticing because once you do notice, you're going to... Yeah, just keep on running. And Roy, you point out the other part which is, I have to pull out a sign first

to let everyone know. Yip! Oh, man, we've been lunatunes back, man. We can't... It's all canceled, right? All that stuff is canceled. No, they have new shows. They have a new show.

No, but it's not like we used to be, man. Yeah. Not like it used to be. Oh, those were the days. Those of the days of casual racism. Hack me versus coyote. It wasn't casual. It wasn't casual at all.

It was pretty active. You ever see, like who Thomas the cat and Tom and Jerry you know who's owner is Mamie two shoes? No, now is the maid But I mean, yes, she's the maid but she's in essence The person in charge, right?

Thomas! Thomas! Trivia and I don't know what the hell you guys talking about. You about Tom and Jerry? No, no, I do, but I don't know their owners. That's where it ends for me though in terms of all these references. Yeah, Mammy two shoes is young. Oh, yeah. Mammie two shoes. Roy, you're like two years older than me. I'm not two years older than you.

you're 39 years old I want to talk about something that happened on the weekend because we have our network out there watching all the content that we have and over the weekend there was a big UFC fight that we were excited about that's right and Tony and Lewis

and the team they brought you MMA Hangout I checked in on that stream at one point I don't know if you saw me about how'd the stream go I mean I was just checking people commenting they were having a good time I saw one of them mention my son. Yeah?

Yeah, I was checking you guys out. Thank you. Awesome. Well, Tony, you had a good weekend? We had a great weekend until the main event, which then things got a little out of hand because there was the most thorough domination I've ever seen in any fight ever, possibly.

With the ground time being 22 minutes to 30 seconds, it was insane. Cut word, cut word that it was worth revisiting the latter portion of this weekend's MMA hangout because Tony had very curious reactions to the main event that made someone believe that something more than just a simple prediction was at play. So we've established a super cut, if you will, of the main event at the UFC over the weekend. And this was accurately described as Tony crashing out.

And I've deduced what was going on here, but I'm curious to your takeaway. Aye, aye, aye, yeah, yeah, yeah. Family, this is not good. This fight, I cannot believe. I'm the idiot. It's me, I'm the idiot. Yeah, I'm the idiot. This is insane, this is insane, this is insane.

I don't think I've ever seen a champion fight this bad. It ain't just no answer. You know what I want to do? Stuff is takedown attempt. You know what I want you to do? He gets to get knee up. Exactly right. He shoots for a takedown.

You meet his head. to Michigan. How do I know that sitting on a desk in a bar in Little Havana? He's going to try and climb and put you in a crucifix and waste three and a half minutes of you trying to get out of it

and you can't. Hey, here you go. He's going to shoot. Shut up. He's going to shoot. Are you ready? Because he's going to shoot. It's too fast.

And right to his back again. There we go. All right. Hey, I've seen this position. for 17 minutes there's no way that people are happy damn dude gets up gets back down

but guess what he's going to go for the for the crucifix again oh guess what he's got it again Tony quit he's going to get the knee in and get the crucifix again guess what DDP you crossing your legs like Lewis

doesn't do anything doesn't do anything That's what I was doing. That's not offensive. Christ almighty. And I love this song. Here right now, if you want me to stay on the baby. I've actually never seen Tony Crash out. This is crazy, dude.

This is insane. This is, is this a nightmare? Finally, they're finally to get him up. Guess what? He's going to shoot again. Oh my God. Back to the back. No, it can't.

I can't. Guys is officially cooked, dude. It's officially cooked. I don't ever want to see DDP fight. mom's out again. I'd never want to see it. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. Have you eaten your food already? Yes, I already ate my food. All right, five, four, three, two, one, hurry up. Let's go. Just get the fifth round number of it, dude. He's got zero shot. It's over. Yeah, this is probably the worst championship fight I've ever seen. Throw in the towel. It's over. You cannot fight this guy. You cannot beat him. You cannot get off the ground. And I'm going to throw my headphones through the camera. This is insane, dude. don't hype up the crowd don't hype up the crowd d p it's over no high head kick too just get knocked out

you better start throwing hard and guess what here if he gets that leg over here's the crucifix and there goes four minutes and 21 seconds if you don't got it now buddy there's and he's in a camorra too he's going to submit you a worst night of my life thanks mark he's got no juice like he's got 25 minutes of nothing it doesn't matter nobody get excited nobody get excited nobody get excited Can you submit his ass? Oh, that's all he has. Oh, son of a bitch. Turn off the stream.

Turn off the stream. The last hope. It's the hope that kills you. It's the hope that killed me is that DDP starts working to maybe try and get a submission. And I'm like, oh my God, could he get a buzzer-beater submission here on Amzad? I'm waiting. No, he slipped out of it. Okay, there we go.

So, Tony, how much? Enough. Oh, you bet on that. Enough. Oh, I hadn't gathered. Our Friends of Drag King's Sportsbook, we were looking at the champion with plus juice. Okay, I'm like, man, we're looking good here. And then Hamzad's like, you know what?

I'm just going to wrestle him for 25 minutes and not let him breathe. And it said it was three 10, 8 rounds, right? Yeah. It was five, 10, 8 rounds, as is what it was. It was 11, 10, 8 rounds. It was the rest of his life, DDP cannot fight Hamzaa Chimayev. It's over. Is this a nightmare?

So I heard that this was the main event. I mean, this is the way the main event went. So I asked my son the next morning because he went out with a bunch of friends and they ordered the fights and they watched because my son is way. My son loves the Iron Fighters. And so I asked him on sons like, hey, did you enjoy the main event? He goes, yeah. I said, oh, because I thought a lot of people didn't like it because there was a lot of wrestling

when I goes, those are casuals. They don't know what they're talking about. Correct. I enjoyed that very much. Correct. The issue is when you've got a lot of money on the line. That kind of skews the way that you want things to happen. Like, yeah, if I didn't really have any action on anything,

I've been like, yeah, okay, you go with your game plan, right? It's just like in football. Hey, they've got a really bad run defense. You know what we're going to do? We're going to run the ball 67 times, and you're going to have to stop us, and you can't. But when you got, you know, a good amount of money on the line and you think that something's going to happen,

and then the complete opposite happens for 25 minutes is very difficult to try and keep your blood pressure down. Yes, I already ate my food. What? Why were you so confident that DDP would win? I don't think he was confident. It's just he was getting plus money with the champion. Plus money with the champion and DDP has fought a bunch of killers

and has made everybody look stupid. So it's like, all right, we've got Hamzad who's coming off of a really good win against Robert Whitaker, who DDP also ran through. So you've got those two equals. And you're like, all right, they kind of both took care of business against Whitaker. And then Hamzat has had some trouble. He had some trouble against Camaro Oussman, who came off the couch, fought at 185. Like, there was a couple of things that I was like, you know what?

maybe he's not ready to fight a five-round fight championship deep waters with a proven killer and then he does that and absolutely demolishes him for five rounds in a bar in Little Havana got to stuff the takedown I mean you know he's going to take you down

it's really simple That was my favorite part Tony's just be like oh you got to do this just do this what are you doing stuff the takedown he wants to take you down you stuff it you know how you stuff it like this

do you think someone said to do police after the fight is like why don't you stuff the takedown I'm sure the corner was the yelling, stuff to take down. Christ almighty. They do post-game presses, right? Post-fight presses. Yes, yeah, of course.

You got to ask that question. Did you see one of the fighting nerds, Carlos Brathes, after a spinning backup? And the thing is, we had such a good night, right? We had two spinning back elbow finishes, one after another. One of buzzer-beater, Carlos Brutas, knocks out Jeff Neal, hands of steel, knocks him out with a spinning elbow, and then Aaron Pico's debut, off of Bellator, comes in, Lorone Murphy from Manchester, hits him with a vicious spinning elbow again right after. So we're those two on the co-main event and the fight before, and then we get that.

Just an absolute turd for me personally in the main event. Aye, aye, aye, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, you gave us a lifetime of entertainment. It's just, that's, that's, that's the best part about this shit, man. Why is it so, why is it so entertaining? Oh, son of a fucking. Why is it so fun? Yes, I already ate my food.

Why is it like filling me with joy? Thanks, Mark. To see Tony crash out. I just realized who the Mark was. It's the referee. Because at a certain point, he had to get Hamsat and DDP up because Hamsad was just laying on him, not doing anything. Thanks, Mark. And DDP was so exhausted.

He couldn't fight back. He was just there like, uh. Thanks, Mark got him up and stood him up. Guess what? He didn't shoot the, he didn't, he didn't stuff the takedown. Another shot. Another take down. Nobody gets excited.

When somebody goes for us for a takedown, if you hit him with one of these, right, you step back, who. Flying knee, he's. done. You think maybe it's not that easy? Of course it's not that easy. Okay, I don't Tony, when you said, don't hype up the crowd because he was hyping up the crowd at the end of the round. I was like, dude, you're down 98

to zero. Like, was he trying to make it seem like he won? He was just trying to be like, come on, like, let's go, let's, and it's like, no, it's over. Like, it was over the moment it happened. Was the crowd booing? Were they not happy with it? The thing is we obviously were playing Baboni and we're playing regga-dong at the bar. I love this song. I also can't hear

what's going on in the commentary because obviously there's there's people dancing and people having fun and regga tongs playing and it's like, oh, that's why I said I love this song. A worst night of my life. This is why I can't. Hold on. Cancer survivor, Tony.

A worst night of my life. Two times. Two times. Defended the belt twice. Two time cancer champion, Tony. And DDP Kest stuff a takedown? Come on. Raining and defending.

A worst night of my life. And still. in a bar in Little Havana. Two times in Tony's life. He has been told he has cancer, but that was the worst side of his life. I drove home and I was just in silence. I didn't even play music.

I didn't play any recaps. Usually I'll watch the press conference on the way home on my phone. Nothing. Just nothing. Just I don't want to talk. I don't want to look at anything. So a lot. Yeah.

It was enough. I had to tell Jenny. She was like, so you felt that good about him, I was like, it's over. When do you get this price? It's like, plus juice with the champ, babe. I mean, come on, it'll make sense. Transitive property with Whitaker.

She's like, Hamzot is like a killer, though. And I was like, yeah, well, you know, he was minus 240 on draft kings. Thanks, Mark. The Dan Libatar show with Stugats is sponsored by Liquid Ivy.

Dan Lebatard. Smart. Stugats. More sports. This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats. Is anybody watching the new Alien show on Hulu? I keep... I've been trying to get to it.

I'm going to... Alien pets! But I have not started it yet. I tried to start and I fell asleep. I fell asleep like five minutes to them arguing on the ship. A little boring. My experience with it was. I was just answering questions the entire time

because they're trying to really lean into the lore. I haven't seen episode two. I think the problem is I haven't been motivated enough to see episode two. I heard two is way better than one. Alien pets. But I'm telling you, when I saw, when one started with, all right, so there's three types of people. There's the cyber.

I'm like, what the hell are you talking about? Like, set a scene. We have a synthetic now. I'm like, I just, I don't get it. Do I have to go back and watch Alien and aliens all over again? He has questions too. Maybe your wife was not that off. I think that you don't have to because this takes place two years before they sent Ripley.

You shouldn't have to. So this is a prequel? Yes. This is. Alien pets. But it's after Prometheus and Alien Covenant. So should I have to watch Prometheus then? I think you have to watch Ice Age because that's canon, apparently, too.

Is it? Yeah. With the squirrel and the... Ice Age is canon. Uncle Ray. Uncle Ray. Oh, that's right. It's your boy.

I want to reward the ambition. I want to see more alien. content so I'm gonna really try to hunker down here and watch episode two. I'm gonna like I last night I had the decision do I sit down and all right I'm awake I'm feeling energetic I'm not sleepy like I was last week or whatever do I watch this or do I go to Los Roses and you know you know who won this is Amin al-Hasson an expert when it comes to bars he's been to every bar so he's like he's got One of the, he's on one of the biggest shows in Miami.

One click of a button, and it goes out to millions of followers on social media. That is verbatim for when Big Cat was on Bar Rescue. That is exactly how it went. These guys know. He's a tastemaker. Yeah, he's a tastemaker. He's a tastemaker. He's a taste maker with influence.

How long was he sitting waiting for a drink? And you didn't even acknowledge him. You're losing $6,000 a week. Oh, my God. Classic cups. All right, that's it. I'm going to. I shouldn't even say this.

This has been a secret. I've been sitting on this for a while. Count of Things is launching a bar rescue podcast. What? Yeah, man. Classic rewatches. We are doing, we're heavy in the R&D stage right now. Like, we've been doing dry runs, and it'll be launching in a matter of weeks, folks.

You're a Mays? No, May. Mays doesn't want anything to do. He still has never seen an episode of Bar Rescue. He's in a Bar Rescue chat and has never seen a single episode. He hasn't had the privilege and the thrill of busting open the books. Oh, my God. And making the call for help to bar rescue.

Hey. We got you a brand new POS system. $40,000. Two-touch POS system. We got one here, one here, and one for the servers over here. We got you three speed wells. How about an orange door music entertainment system? Over 40,000 songs loaded.

Like that? Remember the partender numbers from the other day? We got you a subscription of, part-tender. Now you'll always know how much money you're spending and wasting on drinks. Not to stop there. Your training doesn't end. I got you a lifetime subscription to Taffa Virtual Training, TVT. Oh my God. I can't wait to do all this jargon for our rescue. You know, the goal is, the whole goal for our podcast. I've already told it to my co-hosts, which we'll be revealing soon. The goal is that one day we are the recon team on bar rest.

Wow. These guys have the number one bar rescue podcast. They look like normal guys, but when they walk in, they know exactly what they're looking for. And you know what I got to order when I get to the bar? An old-fashioned. Because it's always, you can't just get a caldric, no. It's got to be, uh, let me go. Man, I watched the episode the other day, dude ordered a white Russian.

I'm like, you know this bar is failing. Why would you order a white Russian from these people, man? this lady poured like a gallon of heavy cream into this drink, a little bit of Kalua, a little bit of vodka. So it was all milk? It was, yeah. It was a lactose intolerance nightmare. I hope you didn't ask for a menu at Lasrosis.

I thought about it, man. I said, do you guys have a cocktail menu? The menu is on display. They just point up. This is what we have. But if Taffer, if a secret agent on behalf of John Taffer was there, he'd be like, well. Yeah, no, yeah, it's like, oh. Dismiss me and just point it up, that's the menu, come on.

Yeah, ended up getting, living the high life. She'd have gotten Miller light, but I like high life. Proud Miller Bar. Yeah, there you go. Out of boy. It's always Miller. Zaz, you ever seen Bar Rescue? I love Bar Rescue.

Okay, no, he's just being very quiet. I'm just, I'm learning here. You interested in co-hosting a podcast? Are you the co-host? I mean, I don't, I don't want to give anything away, but I will tell you, I love, I love Bar Rescue. You know, Taff reinvented NFL Red Zone. I know the NFL Sunday tickets. Yeah.

they took it. It was him. He invented it. And the butt funnel. Put them all together and then sell it. I like, you know, the term invented has a lot of leeway, doesn't it? A lot of latitude. He invented people wanting to watch every NFL game.

I just like the idea of like him sitting back in the bad guy. You know what would be great? You know what you guys should do? You should sell like a subscription to that everybody can watch every game all the time. And he's making paper airplanes. It's just throwing Oftentimes, people conceptualize.

It's the inventing that you can always push back on. It's not your invention. Copyright. Whoa. That's a move. Mine now. Now you own Sunday ticket. You know what else I own?

Copyright. That little tricky does with the beer where he spins the thing around. I was like, this is what it's doing inside your stomach. I still don't understand. Me either. I can't explain it to you. Can you? That when you pour a beer poorly, like with a big head,

When you're pouring it in, the gases in there are exploding. And that's why what fills you up in your stomach is being released in the cup. So you get a big head, but it actually ends up being a better experience for your stomach. Whereas if you pour it properly, where no head ever, and there's just zero head on the beer, then you drink that. Then all the gas is in your stomach. And it fills you up more. So you can drink more beers without feeling full if you pour it terribly and get a big head. He says that, but I don't know that I believe that.

That is how it's... Not you, I'm saying taffer. Because, like, taffer does that, but like, okay, let's say I have a Coca-Cola, right? And I shake it, and you get all that foam or whatever, right? And then, like, it explodes. If I close it and I shake it again, you get just as much the next time except for the one that came out. So, like, if it has all that foam inside my glass and then I pour it into my mouth, what's to say it's not doing that inside of my stomach again?

Because he released the gases. I don't know how this works for soda. But I do know how it works for fear. You can't be double gas. Which is why you got to push the people to the draft beer because you could sell more. Yeah. Yeah. Dude you put it on the poll.

Can you have double gas? Can you have double gas? So you shake it once. There's there more left in the tank? The gas is out, right? Doesn't that mean the gas is out? No. It's also less carbonated.

I think so does different. It has to be. Why is it different? It's bubbles. Nah, it has to be. Bubbles or bubbles? Bubbles or bubbles? No, bubbles are.

Dude, you put it on the poll are bubbles, are bubbles. Right? If you tried to take the initial beer and from one pint glass to another after you already poured it poorly. Trivia Roy's got something on this. It's not going to be the same amount of bubbles. It just can't be.

So does carbonated water as opposed to a beer which is fermented. Wow. That sounds right to me. That's not carbonation. He said it, I'm like, do that on air. That sounds right. That sounds right.

So there's double bubble there? Love a good fermenting. So you want a big head? Do you put it on the pole? Big head or no head? I love big head. I mean, it's why you don't drink out a can on a bottle. That's going in the club.

I always stop the bartender. If I shake a beer, I don't know if we have Miller Lights here. If I pour it in a glass and I shake it, you're going to get the foam, right? You don't need to shake. And then if I let it settle and I do it again, I'm going to get foam again. Not the same amount of foam. Let's try this. I think this is a great experiment.

I think we should get a can of Miller Light. Go get like a nice pint glass, Mike. And then Taffer does it with like a paper towel, right? Like he stirs it up. I want to see this happen. I don't, like, I, first of all, I swear to God, I'm going to sound like an idiot. I am today years old learning that beer is not carbonated by carbonation. It's carbonated by the fermentation process.

I didn't know that. I don't know. We're all just, like, believing Roy, too. I mean, I don't know. Now the look on Roy's face does not give me confidence. When you said it, you seem real confident. And right now you just had this look like, oh, maybe. Zach Wilson at the draft.

Where are we at, Mike? You got some props for us here? We don't have Miller Light here, but I was told that on God bless football, John Taffer did this on set. So we're going to try to track down that archival. Oh, okay, all right? This is when you guys read the Super Bowl, right? Yeah, this was Vegas, I believe. I remember being incredibly jealous.

That was the, man, I was so. That they had Taffer? That they had Taffer. Really? He was just wandering about anyone could have gotten him that day. Yeah, he was just there. That was one of the ones I wanted to be there. Anybody could have gotten it.

Wouldn't everybody want him? Apparently not. It's one of those Tuesdays, like, you know, early in the week where they have like a table. It's like the welcome committee. He's like, oh, we have John Taffer on behalf of the city of Las Vegas. Like, hell, yeah. Like, okay. Like, we'll take him.

The year before we had Caratop when we were in Arizona. They flew Caratop in because he was going to promote the Super Bowl the following year in Las Vegas. Because I don't know if you know this. apparently there's a Super Bowl every year most people don't know you need Caratop to come and tell you next year

there's going to be another Super Bowl and it's going to be in Las Vegas so we said yeah we'll take we'll take Caratop but every city has like a little table

and they're like we're going to have these people talk about either this year's city or next year's city on behalf it's usually like a Monday or Tuesday when it's slow

they're paid to do this they flew so we were trying to Caratop not to put his business out there we were talking to Caratop they flew him in on a PJ that morning

morning. He did like interviews for like an hour and then he had a show at night and they flew him right back. But he needed to be there for that hour to tell people the Super Bowl was going to Las Vegas the following year. I went to a Stanley Cup final between Vegas and Florida. God, I miss the Panthers. And you know how they do in arena entertainment? They have trivia questions or whatever shell game. The in arena host in Vegas asked a gentleman to participate in one of the games and just casually interviewed him. The gentleman was John Taffer. Really? Yeah, and she didn't know.

No way. At all. Okay, now I'm Googling this. Everybody in the arena was pointing. So it was so bad that... Like, does you say, what's your name? I'm John. He just casually answered and the camera moved away and he was like, that was weird.

And then it was so obvious that a mistake was made that 10 minutes later they came back with John, I just noticed who you were. That was a tough look. Wow, I'm looking at... Oh, there's a lot of... there's a lot of Taffra Golden Knights content. It's him with a very large Golden Knights jersey on, which is funny because he has short arms. He's got short arms.

I'm sure he's done like pregame entertainment before he was just casually asked a trivia question at the Stanley Cup final. He's often at the Knights games. Everyone's there, huh? Little John is there. All the residents, all the resident DJs and all the casinos, they often do stuff there. in-game experience. Yeah, it is really fun. Yeah? They got us at one time.

Oh, well, yeah, two years ago? Well, they got us four times. We only got them one time. I was there when they clinched. It was brutal. It's tough. Were you as a show employee or as a... No, I just went. You just went? Yeah. That's hard time.

Just got it like that, huh? Let's go to Vegas. That one I may have actually, because remember, the next morning I was on the show. That one, they may have paid for my flight. I've gone to, like, I went to the bills game a couple years ago. It's not the flight that I'm... Curious about here, Chris. Anyone could fly to Vegas.

It's not hard to fly to Vegas. It's the Stanley Cup final. Oh, like the entrance to the game? Yeah, I believe I did do that because the metal arc always does credentials. Oh, I want to go. Oh, so you said no to the credential. I'm going to go. Like, they probably paid for my room and flight, and I was like, you know what, I'm not taking credential.

I need to be. I'm going to buy myself a ticket because I want to be. And then we lost. You need to be around everyone losing eight to one. Right. He wants to drink beer. Little light. Get to Toronto's main venues like Budweiser Stage and the new Roger Stadium with Go Transit.

Speaking of the drinking beer, we got the video tapper with Billy and Stugats at the Super Bowl. Right. Now, a lot of people that are rookie bartenders are so scared of too much head, they pour the beer like this. Never. Right? Yep. Really slow. I got to be honest.

That's how I do it. and your hair's getting gray, right? And, I mean, this is the way they pour that beer. Yeah. Then the guy is a more experienced bartender. You know, he'll fill the cup more like this, put the beer next to it, and give it to you that way. Now, what happens?

If you drink that beer when you put it in your stomach, nothing happens. Nothing happens. But if you take this beer and put it your stomach, look what happens. Oh, wow. I didn't know my stomach was made a paper towel. I'm simply showing you if you pour it faster, You can drink more. You see, when you pour it slow like this and it bubbles like that in your gut,

you're going to drink less beer, aren't you? Yeah. You're bloated. Yeah, but you feel like you're drinking more beer at the time, you know? But neither of those is exactly correct. The middle is where you want to be, of course. Billy, you disrespectful. I still don't get it.

Looking at the two, they're looking identical to me, like the two colors. Yeah, can I be honest? It was the reaction to the paper. Like, if I'm being honest, I don't know what he's trying to tell me there. You don't want the beer expanding in your stomach, guys This is science But there's less beer expanded In the one that was poured improperly

I'm with Billy though Like it seems like a paper towel Is what creates this explosion Like what in my stomach is One encounters the lining of your stomach It'll start doing that Guys Science

You don't get it You don't get it You guys are no head guy I have bounty inside Is your thing Why don't you get that? Oh no I pour beers like this Like when I'm out for a night

If I'm having a night Like first beer is being poured terribly because I'm like, I got to create some, I don't want to fill up. Don't we have proof of concept? I used to do it the way just drinking it out of the can and I would get more bloaty than I do. This is not my mind playing tricks on me, guys. And that was a Miller light despite the beer being caught. I pour my canned and bottled beer in. I asked for a glass so I can pour it in and release the bubble so it's not in my tummy.

So whenever you're out, so if you go to Las Rosas, you say let me get a Miller light, you're going to ask them to pour it in a glass. That's right. unless it's just like, I only want one beer. Because then getting bloated, I'm not going to get bloaty off of one beer. What happens if they pour it the incorrect way, according to taffrey? Well, we have cans. And there's also draft beer. I don't think we have any bottles, but I would ask for a cup and pour it into the cup.

You would do yourself? Yeah. You wouldn't tell them to do it. I could tell them, and they would be helpful too. Would they do it the right way? Pour it like a savage is what I would tell them. You can order a beer like a steak. Like, I'll take my beer big head.

Really? Yeah. No, I'm kidding. I don't know if you can. I was about to go. Can I get medium head, please? I always say, pour like a savage and just leave me the can. Give me my beer with some head, please.

Give me a taffer. Give me a lot of head. Give me the taffer. Get thrown out. So more head the better. That's what we're saying. Yeah, because you don't want that happening. That's how I live.

It's science. Morehead state. Paper towels, as you know. Kenneth Farid, the minimal. Playing in Puerto Rico, by the way. Yeah, he is. Still playing. Still out here.

Still doing his thing. Still doing his thing. That was a guy who I didn't think that was going to be that good. Ended up being someone decent. in that game we played a couple weeks ago. Yeah, he's... Huck around a lot longer than I thought. Yeah, he's an effort guy.

Like, it was never going to be more than what... But the high motor will get you places. I mean, didn't his skill set appear at a time? Like, that was like the only window of time that it could work for Kenneth Farid. In NBA history, maybe. I think it could work now, but again, it's like... He didn't know how to shoot, though.

No, yeah, but, like, he's not going to be a starter. Everyone needs a... There's only, like, guys like that are matchup dependent. He's the guy that would be your one in, four out one in, and then he's the guy that set the screen and then you throw lobs because he's a great athlete, he's going to finish above the rim. But night in, night out, starting at the four in today's NBA, that doesn't happen. He had a really nice career.

He couldn't start, yeah. He hit the exact window of time where he could make money and play and have a resume. Yeah, because there was that slight window like, oh, we don't need a cement block-footed power forward. Let's get an athletic guy, a nimble guy, to come out and guard some of these guys that can shoot. but then the game evolved so quickly that that guy also needs to be able to shoot and handle and do all that. I don't think he needs to. I think you can

still be a big that is like active and dunks and rebounds and defense. Probably he wasn't a good defensive player. Like he was a guy that got lost in schemes and stuff like that. People think that because he was just a rebound guy. It was just, look, I watched a lot of Kenneth Farid. No, I know.

He was the... Great nickname, though. The Antigranton. The Mammal. Again, I'm always a fan of when you have a good nickname, like a real nickname, not like a play on your name or something like Joker, I don't like that nickname. I get it. I get why. I don't think it's creative enough.

Right, like he's not a Joker. He doesn't have personality of a Joker. His style of play is not how Joker would play. I think I'm with you there. What's the best nickname in the NBA right now? What's the big name best nickname in team sports? I know UFC has this thing on lock. Everyone's got a nickname.

Yeah. But like in team sports, in the NBA. NFL and baseball, right now, the best active nickname. I'm trying to, I, if I hit you with, well, you can't say Slim Reaper because Durant does not, no one calls. Durantula? No, there's someone who's a baseball player, right? He's trying to steal a name Durantula. We're like, no, no, you don't get to do that.

There's a whole sneaker named after that, right? Best active, the last talk. I'm telling you, they're not good. Like Donovan Mitchell, Spider, Spider-Mitchell's like, that's okay. With an A, yeah. Right, that's not. Is this BAM count as a nickname? Yeah, because he's Adrease now.

Yeah. Is he, is that it? Bam? Is BAM the best? Greek Freak. Greek Freak's not bad. That's a really good one. It's not bad.

Honey Badger? Honey Badger is good one. Do they still make posters? No longer active. Retire. That's true. Retired or not retired, retired. Retired.

Can you go to a department store and buy a poster at a poster to hang up on your wall, or do you have to go on the internet to do that these days? We talked about this on the Dracula 2000 episode of Cynophobe. All you have to do is go to the Virgin Megastore. I love that. I love perusing through the entire archive of the catalog of poster options. You want to Jim Morrison? Now, this is the M&M poster I need to have.

Jim Morrison, M&M, and then Tupac. All lies on me. Christine Aguilera. There it is. The Millennium. album cover. There's the game. He's on the wheel. He's on the rims. Oh man. Wow.

Wait, did you guys, were you guys all poster people? Oh, yeah. Let's put together top five posters. I have the feel as well had the one where the Patrick Ewing one where he's taking a jump shot. It says Ewing in big. No, no, I had... How dare you? No, when I was a kid, I had all wrestling posters.

And then when I was a teenager, I had all music posters. I never had... What were your music posters? Led Zeppel. of course, Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine, Pink Floyd. I've got you as a Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon. Pink Floyd. I had the one with all the girls and the asses, you know, the album covers, yeah.

Two live crew? No. Oh, that's the one I was thinking about. That's the one I was thinking about. What about Scarface? I feel like in college. I have one at my parents' house. I have a Scarface poster the movie posts of the tracks.

I have framed the movie. Is it framed? Yeah. I'm going to see if I can take a picture. And I had the big banner of, you know, Jim Morrison. mugshot, ludensivious behavior. Dukes of Hazard, Jessica Simpson. In my college dorm.

That's very embarrassing. No, it's not. Cinephole episode. Also trucks. I do wonder how my mother fucks I was living with my mother at the time when I was in high school and I started putting up the Zeppelin

and the Pink Floyd Post. It was like she knew what I was up to, right? Smoking weed? Got to put the towel underneath the door, put the towel there. Did that ever work? I don't know. I don't know. I didn't get caught. It's been passed out from generation and generation.

Dorms? Everyone in the door. I tried at a hotel rooms. Wet towel? Not wet, just a towel. No, not wet, just the towel. No, but wet, it gets in there better. And then it stops the actual smell.

It seals. Somebody told me, I don't know who, I don't remember who it was. Somebody told me if you take a paper towel roll and then you put a febreze thing on the other side of it. That the smoke. Oh, yeah, I've done that too. Done that too. Wait, what?

You blow out the smoke that you just inhaled into the little, like, toilet paper roll with the frieze so that the smoke comes out smelling. Yeah, so it comes out smelling. smelling like Fabriz. Oh, it just smells like Fabriz and stank then, right? Yeah. We're trying to mitigate here, not completely. I'm trying not to get caught.

I mean, I'm only 16 years old, right? Oh, man. The things that as a teenager you thought that would fly. Oh, the things that we used to do as a teenager when it came to stuff like that that I would never consider doing now because it's dangerous. That's right. Like the things I was doing back then, oh, like how, what was I thinking, you know? Yeah. I remember one time though.

You do everything not to get caught, right? You know, you're doing such a good job. And you could even make up stories like, oh, what happened here, you know? And then one night, I left something in my pants, you know, goes to the wash. Laundry? Yeah, it goes to the wash. And my mom comes out. She goes, hey, I found this in the laundry.

And it was like, what was the lie you came up with? I got nothing. You got nothing? You always got to come up with something. 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 an ad reads, like... Quervo. I think you 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. Quervo.com.

Please drink responsibly. Quervo.
