Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo.

00:00:09

Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

00:00:11

Well, I do know that to be true, but even during an ad, reads like... Cuervo. I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

00:00:18

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

00:00:20

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo. The tequila that invented tequila. Proximo. Cuervo. Com. Please drink responsibly. Cuervo.

00:01:46

This is the Dan wanted. This is what Dan wanted. He wanted a call of the day. He wanted

00:03:10

That song makes me want to dance specifically like Aaron Glenn on the sideline.

00:03:16

There's something about that song that just feels like a blocked field goal that you think is going to win you the game and that you're not going to engulf by all the jet shit that engulfed Aaron Rodgers. Greg Cody-So you don't want the call?

00:03:31

I mean, play the opening.

00:03:33

You probably got to do it again.

00:03:35

Greg Cody. Yeah, I do need to hear it again, actually. I need to hear it one more time. I don't want to do this. I need to hear it again, please. Thank you.

00:04:45

It is what I wanted.

00:04:46

Are we done?

00:04:48

Not until the World Cup. Every day until the World Cup, we're going to play Ray Hudson sounds.

00:04:55

He wanted, wanted, wanted, The reason I was mentioning Greg Cody is because he wanted to talk about Messy.

00:05:06

Is the Ray Hudson call of the day? Does it involve Messy or does it involve somebody else? Let's hear it. Messy.

00:05:14

You in a man.

00:05:15

A work of arms.

00:05:17

This man is absolutely manlike to pure footballing magic that belongs in a different galaxy altogether.

00:05:27

Look at smiling Greg Cody The Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody. Do you talk about Messi this week? Because I know you always want to talk about Messi, and he was great again.

00:05:40

Actually, we did not, but I wish we had because he just never ceases to amaze Messi. First of all, he resigns, which would have been huge news down here, except it was fully expected. But still, he resigns for at least next season, World Cup season. Still huge news. Miami Freedom Park season.

00:05:59

Still It is still surreal to see him in a uniform playing in our city. It's not normal to me yet.

00:06:09

No. In three years, I still have not gotten used to saying, Enter Miami, Lionel Messi. Lionel Messi plays for Inter Miami. It's a mind blower and always will be. Then this guy, they played DC United, which is not a good side. I thought Miami would have no problem with that game, but they were behind, 1-0. And Messi scores two goals. I was at the UM game, so I did not see them live only on replay, but this guy just never ceases to amave. He's 38 years old, and I'm not going to say he's still in his prime. He isn't. Go on. But he's fading in a way that LeBron James is. He's still so good that even if he's not in his prime, he's still a Marvel, a physical Marvel.

00:06:49

What do people need to know about the Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody, which we have not promoted enough today? What is on there? What is exciting? Why should people find the Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody today?

00:07:00

We have on Brad Williams, the official stand-up comedian of the Greg Cody Show.

00:07:05

He actually has beef with Dan right now. He doesn't like how Dan's just using Brad. Anytime Dan wants to reference anything small, he just says Brad Williams, and Brad's noticed.

00:07:13

Yeah, which is funny. It's a funny quote. You got to go to it just for that. But he talks about being in the new spinal tap.

00:07:20

Can you just tell us who he says?

00:07:21

No. That way you wouldn't go to the podcast. What am I going to... I give you the menu.

00:07:26

I feel like Zaz isn't going to go either way.

00:07:28

I give you the menu. I don't feed you the dinner. I mean, you got to go there to get it. He talks about being in Spinal Tap. Talks about all kinds of-Great Elton John stories.

00:07:36

He shot a scene with him.

00:07:38

Tells a crazy story about a massage incident. Tell us about it. I will invite you to go to the podcast. Did you know that he played hockey?

00:07:47

I've seen that photo of Brad Williams when he was little.

00:07:50

St. Elton John.

00:07:51

What do you mean when he was little?

00:07:52

When he was a little kid.

00:07:53

What do you mean when he was little? Dan, see? Oh, that was Dan, Brad.

00:07:57

We talked about it on the Hockey Show. You can listen to that interview.

00:08:00

Oh, wow. Look at this. Teases everywhere. Floming in on my tease.

00:08:03

Well, should I listen to the hockey show first or Greg show first to get the full context of the story?

00:08:08

Well, you listen to Greg first because that was the most recent thing, and then you can come on over to the hockey show.

00:08:13

There you go.

00:08:13

Don't forget to check out Zazlo Show 2. 0, player.

00:08:16

Well done. Is Brad on there? Is there any Brad stories on there? On mine?

00:08:19

Yeah. Whenever I want.

00:08:22

Also, Canes Insight, going to be live. Yeah, Canes Insight. A media company that I don't know if anyone wants to hear from me that listens to this show on the Miami Hurricanes. It seems as though the topics dry up a little bit when we're winning. But if you'd like to hear-We haven't talked enough about Miami today for your liking. Honestly, let's wrap up the show. You must be kidding. It's only talk about Ruben Bain. You must be kidding.

00:08:43

I don't have a show, so nothing to promote.

00:08:45

Also, speaking of Miami, Because Miami, you can listen that every Friday.

00:08:48

Brad Williams sent me a text the other day asking, When people say that someone is at your beck and call, are they ever at just your Beck. I don't even know what it is to be at your Beck. When people say the phrase that someone is at your beck and call, what is Beck?

00:09:10

What is the Beck? No, that's not the root word of beckon. Beckon means to someone's someone.

00:09:14

No, but I don't believe it's- It's not Beck and Call.

00:09:17

It's Beck and Call. Right.

00:09:18

B-e-c-k-o-n.

00:09:19

Is that what you're saying?

00:09:20

I thought it was Beck and Call. No. I didn't think it was Beck and Call.

00:09:25

Yes, it is.

00:09:26

It's Beck and B-E-C-K-O-N call. It's not Beck and Call.

00:09:31

It is Beck and call. It is Beck and call, but Beck is a shortened form of beckon.

00:09:35

Okay. I didn't know that.

00:09:36

How about Greg Cody?

00:09:37

Wasn't aware of that, but you would not be at someone's beckon, right? You never hear that. It's a beckon call. I thought beckon call was redundant. I thought to call someone is to beckon them. I thought those two words mean the same thing.

00:09:51

You could argue it's redundant, but beckon means make a gesture with the hand, arm, or head to encourage someone to come nearer or follow.

00:09:59

I beckoning you.

00:10:00

Come on in. I'm welcoming you.

00:10:02

Yes, beckon. I beckon you.

00:10:04

Don't do that to a vampire because they can stand outside and they're only allowed to come inside if you invite them. Is that true? But they'll try to trap you.

00:10:10

Like, cops, they have to tell you if you say, Are you a cop? Vampires are the same.

00:10:14

Vampires are like cops.

00:10:16

You have to invite them in to come suck your blood.

00:10:18

But they have a warrant. No.

00:10:20

Vampires or cops?

00:10:21

They have to be invited.

00:10:22

They're like cops.

00:10:24

This was covered in the classic film Lost Boys, and then later in Sinners. Right.

00:10:28

Keynes fan is looking for a better game from Carson Beckon.

00:10:33

Good call.

00:10:33

Thank you.

00:10:36

Who fed you that?

00:10:41

Look how proud he is. He's prouder of the bad jokes than he is of the good ones.

00:10:46

I feel like you can hear in the way he talks when he's been fed a joke.

00:10:48

Is that right? First of all, I was not fed a joke. I don't want to praise or blame anyone for that. I'll take it all on my own shoulders.

00:10:56

Howdy, folks. It's Mike Ryan, and I know it's early in the NFL season, but it has shown you exactly why the NFL is indeed king sport in the United States of America. Great games, incredible matchups, in-demand tickets for these high-profile games. Sometimes, oftentimes, these games are sold out and you're left with the secondary market. Well, let me tell you about my go-to on the secondary market, the official ticketing partner of the Dan Levitard Show. I'm talking, of course, about game time. Game time is amazing for a lot of different reasons. Zone deals, Panoramic CPUs, the low price guarantee, and game time's unparalleled ticket coverage. I'm an NFL free agent, so I'm always looking for the biggest games, and game time makes it so easy to peruse the app. One of my favorite features is fees are always included. What you see is what you pay. And that is hugely important when you're traveling abroad to catch the game de jour. Take the guesswork out of buying NFL tickets with GameTime.

On Fox One, you can stream your favorite live sports, so you're there for the biggest moments as they happen. For me, I cannot deal with spoilers, so I need to see it live, especially on college football Saturdays and NFL Sundays. With Fox One, you get it all. Nascar, the MLB postseason, edge of your seat plays, jaw-dropping moments, and that rush like you're right there in the action. Sports are meant to be watched live, and you can do that with Fox One.

00:12:39

Don Libtard. You don't remember the idea for a home run call?

00:12:43

I was probably like, That thing Something like, swing, something?

00:12:46

Okay, no. The home run call was, That swing, that thing.

00:12:50

Stugatz.

00:12:51

Oh, it's a good call.

00:12:53

Thank you. And plus, it doesn't matter who's hitting it. You're not tailing it to a particular name. All that jazz. You don't do that. It's just a generic call. That would be a great call.

00:13:04

Up, up, and away.

00:13:05

That swing, that thing.

00:13:07

This is the Dan Levatard show with the Stugats.

00:13:19

Let's talk about the Rams for a second because they really impressed me in defeat. I know that the way that we do these things is if the Colts don't get an offsides call at the end of the game against Denver, we would talk about them differently at two and one than we do at 3: 0 because they would have lost the game. And generally speaking, in that sport, there are so few games, and they mean so much each game that when a team loses, we become bottom line about our assessment of them. But there's not a team that impressed me in losing more than the Rams did yesterday. And Dominic Foxworth is saying on his podcast that the Rams are the best team in the NFC, and he will get no argument from me because what they did to get ahead of Philadelphia, like I said, the biggest play in that game, I understand that people look at the blocked field goal at the end, but before that, the Rams could have ended the game by simply converting a fourth and one. And it's just Philadelphia never gets stopped on that. And we underestimate how bad most quarterbacks are at that.

00:14:27

Jalen Hertz, obviously very strong in the lower Same with Ruben Bane. Mike's beloved Ruben Bain, is ridiculous how strong and explosive he is in the lower body. But I saw last week, Kela Williams did the quarterback sneak very poorly. Fourth and short is still a situation that scares a bunch of offenses. And what you hear in Philadelphia when they know the push push is coming, this is such a unique and interesting thing, what is happening around the push push. A fan base that has won 19 of 20 games and has an unstable play is laughing as the nation gets bored with, 12% of your plays last week were the push push, not this week, but last week. And that's obviously too much. But when they get the solution in these circumstances is always to tell the team, Well, if you don't like our play, then don't allow us to get into third and fourth and short. But they have a play that is annoying, is not fun to watch, and was the difference in that game yesterday because the Rams had fourth and one and got blown up. And the Eagles never lose yardage on short yardage situations.

00:15:36

It happens to every other team in the league, but it never happens to Philadelphia. And their whole game plan is to make sure to get into third and fourth in short situations.

00:15:46

When they have third and long and the ball is spotted just short of the marker, the crowd cheers. They like it. They like knowing we're going to come out. This is what's coming. For the bullshit that It makes everybody mad and it's going to make us really happy.

00:16:02

But how cool is that to have as a fan base that you know that your team, in football, specifically, where you have to be stronger than everybody, that your team has a play that everyone else hates, and also it's something that can't be stopped because it's just so physical. That stadium has something that they love that everyone else in the world hates.

00:16:28

Yeah, Eagles fans should be embarrassed by the Touche Push. They really should. It's a play that should have been made illegal. Every time I see it, I think, Really? It's cheating. It's cheating. I don't care who does it.

00:16:41

It's not why I watch football. I'd watch rugby. If I wanted to see that, I'd watch rugby. Miami did a lot of that against Florida. They did. I don't love it, but I love it slightly more when it's my school.

00:16:51

But why is it cheating? I don't like it either, but why is it cheating?

00:16:54

Because you're pushing somebody. Let them do it on their own. Let their blockers block for them and let Don't let them run. Don't get behind them and push them over the line.

00:17:04

Football is notoriously unfysical.

00:17:05

I think it's literally cheating.

00:17:07

A lot of pushing in football, though, you'd argue.

00:17:09

Not in that way.

00:17:10

They're constantly pushing each other.

00:17:12

Not in that way.

00:17:13

Well, what about that UM play where then it ended up not being called the Touchdown, that there was still movement, and then they said dead ball?

00:17:20

That was a patently bad call. Okay, but what's the difference between the pushing there and pushing for one yard?

00:17:26

Why do you have to watch five times? You couldn't tell after the first?

00:17:28

I could, and I enjoyed the malfeasance of it so much. I had to keep watching it.

00:17:33

The Marty Brown one was weird because it wasn't like the other plays in the game where they would get dragged by... He just never stopped moving. He was running into his own guys, was never touched by a Florida guy, and squirted out.

00:17:44

It was weird. Can I play for you guys something here? I want to get your thoughts on this. I don't know what the context is on this, how fast this person is moving, but whenever I see this anywhere in South Florida, people running with a baby and a baby in it. It's something I look at and say that seems like it could go wrong in a lot of different ways. Somebody has set a new baby stroller mile world record by running a mile in 4 minutes and 26 seconds.

00:18:16

That's not a doll. If there's a doll in there, I am fine with all of this. I don't want to be the guy that's offended by everything. I don't like it. But it makes me nervous. Yeah, I don't like it. There's a man running at a very high rate of speed with a baby. I know that it's one of those rollers. It's made for this running. I know it's going to probably end up safe, but I don't like this.

00:18:35

Yeah, I was going to say it doesn't matter that it's a three-wheel instead of a four?

00:18:38

Well, I think it's designed to be run with, but still, it's just I didn't like it. That's what I thought about this. I saw That's what I said.

00:18:45

I don't like this. It's a danger to babies everywhere. We can agree that running that fast in a stroller with a baby seems and baby skulls are soft. We've got to be more careful with these things, but we do sound like a bunch of people that are going to outrage the baby stroller running community with our softness in general.

00:19:02

On the record, F them. Shouldn't be running with a baby. F you, baby runners, running on a track. A mile in four minutes, what does that end up being that they're running? 18 miles an hour or something? It's ridiculous. That's way too fast to be driving with a baby.

00:19:18

It should be, again, the law, in my opinion.

00:19:20

Once again, maybe you put some protection on the baby just in case that there is some... Because the baby wasn't wearing a helmet. I don't know. It More steps should have been taken for safety.

00:19:32

There's an unnamed woman in my neighborhood who jogs pushing a stroller. What's her name? I'll tell you off the air.

00:19:40

Which is actually more dangerous because there's cars around her where this guy was clearly on a safe track with no cars around.

00:19:45

Well, she is on a sidewalk, but nevertheless, and she's not running at the speed that guy was.

00:19:49

Fifteen miles per hour is what it ends up being. That's a speeding ticket in a school zone.

00:19:53

Absolutely. She's doing a steady jog with the stroller in front of her. What if she hits a crack in the sidewalk? All of a sudden, they both go head over a tea kettle or whatever the hell that expression is.

00:20:06

For frame of reference, how many miles per hour was this runner?

00:20:10

Fifteen, roughly.

00:20:12

Jordan Davis was clocked at 18. 4. 5, 9 miles per hour. It's the fastest speed a 300 pounder has ever reached as a ball carrier since they started measuring these things in 2017 per next-gen stats.

00:20:27

It's also not impressive to be running with rollers that are designed for that. Ball bearings, that thing just glides. It's not a physical accomplishment, pushing a stroller. You don't have to do it, you probably push it with one finger, and that thing would go downhill like that.

00:20:39

Ridiculum. Can you guys look up for me, please, whether in that competition, it actually has to be a baby and can't be a doll that weighs the same amount as a baby. Greg, what is the... Head over tea kettle is not the expression. What were you going for there?

00:20:54

It's something over tea kettle.

00:20:55

Okay, thank you. Why are you looking at me? Okay, I'll look it up instead of you. Okay, very Very good. Thank you for putting the work on me. I'll look it up. Before we get to Weekend Observations with Amina El Haas and Chris Cody, can you tell me what we're doing with Weekend Observations next week to sexy it up a little bit?

00:21:11

We're doing the same thing we did last year, which is our Weekend Observations predictions pool. If you would like to win a trip for two to come hang out with us in studio and be at our next Miller Light watch party, which I believe is going to be at a Flanigan's. It's going to be in October. It's going to be super fun. You win a trip for two down here to be in our studio to come to this watch party. If you want to know how to do it, you make your pics, you win it all, go to draffkings. Com/pools for detail. That draffkings. Com/pools for details to sign up how to win a trip for two down here with us in our studio and our watch party. All thanks to Miller late.

00:21:45

Greg, according to Miriam Webster, it's ass over tea kettle.

00:21:49

What are you celebrating?

00:21:50

It's a family show. That's not what you said. He's not going to say that.

00:21:53

What did I say?

00:21:54

You said head over tea kettle.

00:21:56

Okay, well, I had the wrong end. He had the wrong end of the donkey. Other than that, the theory was the same.

00:22:02

Let's do Weekend Observations now that Amin is here and quit wasting Amin's valuable time, please.

00:22:08

It is time for Amin to share his game notes.

00:22:11

No one in the media will tell you what happened better than my voice.

00:22:14

Amin.

00:22:16

Weekend Observations is presented by Miller Lite. Dan. It felt like it was standard procedure. It felt like it was business as usual. You line up, you hike the You kick the ball. You kick the ball. What's so hard about that? But yesterday, just like that, make no mistake, Blocking Field Goals is back.

00:22:40

Yes.

00:22:43

Jordan Davis can scoot.

00:22:46

It's crazy.

00:22:48

He followed the block field goal with a 61-yard breakdown return. I heard Mike just mention it clocked in at almost 19 miles an hour. I hope they had the oxygen tank ready for him. Travis, Kelsey, and Andy Reid getting into a tiff on the sidelines. I know this playbook all too well. This is how you preempt the eventual breakup. Really? Yeah, you just plant little arguments here and there. They weren't really a necessary argument. You're winning the game, but let's do it. Let's get everyone going a little bit. Just so that when it happens, we're like, Oh, yeah, I remember when they fought on the sideline against the Giants in week three.

00:23:26

Historically, it's an indicator for them making the Super Bowl.

00:23:31

Maybe not this time. Georgia Tech, Miami, ACC title game, collision course.

00:23:41

Mike says he's not worried. Mike said... Sorry. Mike says he's not worried about that one. He says he's not worried, and he should be.

00:23:48

No, he hasn't been worried the last two years.

00:23:50

It's not at Bobby Dodd at noon. I'm okay.

00:23:54

Well, two years ago, it wasn't at Bobby Dodd. I believe it was in South Florida.

00:23:58

He didn't fumble.

00:23:59

After I have to take my record. Okay.

00:24:01

Keep expecting that Miami team to show up.

00:24:04

All right.

00:24:05

I just hope that you guys have an opportunity to Neil to win the game.

00:24:10

Oh, we will. Okay.

00:24:12

Will you Neil?

00:24:16

That trash talk really petered out between you two. I thought there was going to be something there, but it was just empty. I hope you have the offer.

00:24:24

I hope you Neil.

00:24:26

Trying to keep it moving. His time is It's valuable, apparently.

00:24:31

What's the clock at, by the way? How does Zazlo look at himself in the mirror after that game? Embarrassing. I'm talking about physically, how do you look at yourself in the mirror? Oh, no. What is he doing?

00:24:45

What should I be embarrassed about?

00:24:47

I don't know. You look like you drink soda.

00:24:49

He didn't go to Florida. He went to Santa Fe.

00:24:52

When he looks in the mirror, he says Bryant McKinney.

00:24:57

Russell Wilson. Reminds It reminds me of the viral Decent Man song, in that I hate him and I never want to see him again. Daniel Jones, leading the best offensive output through three games in cult's history. It's crazy. Rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated. Mccorkle Jones completing 27 to 41 passes for 284 yards and the win. Rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated. Comedy comes in threes. I wish there was someone named Jones who had a good game on Sunday. There wasn't. Jackson Dart, we're ready for you. Haynes King showing he can do it with his arm. Don't look at the stats. Just trust me on this. He did it with his arm. Greg Cody. Stay strong. There's a silver lining somewhere in that Shitstorm cloud called the Dolphins. I'm sure you'll find it.

00:25:56

Thank you.

00:25:58

Why do HVAC companies all have USA flags on their trucks, like shrink-wrapped on it or on a bumper sticker or flying over or whatever. Is anyone hiring an HVAC company because of their patriotism? Put it on the poll.

00:26:10

Is anyone not...

00:26:12

Is anyone not hiring an HVAC company because of their lack of patriotism?

00:26:15

Put it on the poll. Put both of them on the poll, Juju at Lebitard Show. Is anyone hiring an HVAC company because of their patriotism? Is anyone not hiring an HVAC company because of their lack of patriotism?

00:26:28

My AC is out, but this I don't know if you love America. I'll wait the 10 days for the other guy. Asia Wilson, four-time MVP.

00:26:41

Cal Raleigh hit his 58th home run this weekend. If Kyle Raleigh came up to me and punched me in the throat and the cops showed up and asked me, Who punched me in the throat? I would say nothing because I got punched in the throat. I can't breathe. Caitlin Clarke, being fined $200 for disparaging the officiating via social media is the equivalent of LeBron James being fined $135,000. Double standard. After I get my win back, after getting punched in the throat by Kyle Raleigh, when asked by the cops who punched me in the throat, I would still say nothing because I ain't no snitch. I really don't think Donald Trump knows how adjectives work. Assuming I was a snitch who got punched in the throat by Kyle Raleigh, when asked by the cops who punched me in the throat and shown a lineup of all possible culprits, I would say, I don't know because I have no idea who Kyle Raleigh is. There it is. Top five things to do while being ignored. Oli, B Cal Raleigh. Number five, rob a bank. Number four, cheat on your significant other.

00:28:03

Number 3, the democracy. Number 2, weekend observations.

00:28:16

The number one thing to do while being ignored, take a nap. When we go to trial for how I got punched in the throat by Cal Raleigh, and the DA reads back my original statement to the police about how I don't know who Cal Cal Raleigh is, and I say, That's correct. Then they pull up a transcript of weekend observations from August 27, 2025, and read verbatim how I call Cal Raleigh Historic, Iconic, and legendary. I would just say, I don't recall, which is how aspiration co founder, Andre Cherny, responded to Pablo Tori's revelation about the Aspiration Investment Committee, which okay, Kauai's no show job. That I don't remember.

00:28:52

That's how you do it. That is how you do it.

00:28:57

Damon Dash has all the moral values of a 15-year-old. Pat Beverly and Trey Young arguing is like my microwave and my toaster having an argument. Who the hell cares? Speaking of hell, our brials. Those are the weekend observations. Don Levatard. It doesn't matter anywhere. We could do it in Buffalo or Baltimore. Eva. You said you could do it where? Anywhere. Oh, No. No, that's crazy. That's crazy. That's crazy. He said he could do it anywhere. That's crazy, murder. Tell him.

00:29:40

Stugatz.

00:29:41

I had no idea if Mena had that in his locker. That might be his best. That's crazy.

00:29:46

I'm not kidding. That's crazy, killer. It's two America's dead. You don't get it?

00:29:53

This is the Dan Levatard show with the Stugatz.

00:29:56

That'd be cause for concern. That's brave little toaster territory. Appliances talking to one another. That's national news, perhaps international.

00:30:04

They're not top line, man. The toaster, the mic, come on, man. Bridge, oven, stove top. If you're one of those fancy people, got to separate.

00:30:12

That's a poltergeist. That's a poltergeist, then. At that point, you have a poltergeist.

00:30:15

Wait, though. If you're trying to rank, if we were ranking kitchen stuff, the microwave would be pretty hugely important. I think I put... What do you mean no?

00:30:26

Although has the air fryer mitigated the It's a course.

00:30:30

It's a thunder. You're living in the early 2000s there with microwave.

00:30:34

The air fryer is good, except there are times, Chris, and I know this might be hard for you to understand, you don't want things fried.

00:30:41

Burn. Just anything heated up is better in the air fryer.

00:30:44

It's like, put it in an oven. We are so lucky to live in a time. We're such an advancement to kitchen appliances. Thank you, air fryer. It happened. We were the same generation that got an iPhone. We are pretty lucky in some respects.

00:30:57

You're saying the microwave is not a Hall of Famer in terms terms of kitchen stuff because- It's a Hall of Famer in the same way that Dolph Schultz was a Hall of Famer.

00:31:05

Like, yes, you did it back then, but in today's game, you have no place.

00:31:11

Does the air fryer make toast?

00:31:13

Because I-Of course. It does bagels, it reheats pizza. It does. It takes forever. It's an oven. It's just a mini oven.

00:31:19

Takes forever.

00:31:20

That's the only negative. It does take a little bit longer.

00:31:23

But it's faster than a regular oven.

00:31:24

If I'm making chicken wings, it takes me a half hour.

00:31:27

What do you put in at?

00:31:28

75 degrees? Is it plugged in?

00:31:30

You put it at like 3: 50. It cost you like eight minutes. All right. Worth it.

00:31:35

It's not worth it.

00:31:36

I mean, the big thing is you're not using oil.

00:31:39

It's healthier. Right. And cheaper.

00:31:41

Sometimes you use oil.

00:31:42

The air is your oil.

00:31:44

You don't want it to stick to the oil.

00:31:45

Are you guys alleging the toaster is now obsolete? Obsolete.

00:31:49

We haven't even mentioned the toaster. We haven't mentioned the toaster.

00:31:51

Well, didn't he say the microwave was arguing with the toaster?

00:31:53

The microwave toaster. Throw that away.

00:31:56

That was a good combo.

00:31:57

If you have a microwave toaster, you useless.

00:32:00

If you want to have a conversation in the kitchen between two sad items, the toaster is commiserating with the Waffle Iron. Those two things, they're down in the bottom shelf where nobody ever looks. They're going, Hey, man, we used to matter in this room.

00:32:13

But the Waffle Waffle iron will always have its place, though. If I'm in the mood for waffles, I'm going there.

00:32:18

I use all of these. I use all of this in my house. You use a Waffle Iron? Yeah, we have that Waffle maker deal in the house. You make waffles? Yeah, we do.

00:32:25

What?

00:32:26

What's the matter with you? I mean, that is like first ballot, wedding- He's going box-off. Why did I ask for this? What did I think it was going to be?

00:32:34

That box mix, though.

00:32:34

I use the Waffle maker. We use a microwave. We also have air fryer and toaster. I got whatever I want.

00:32:40

You use your refrigerator?

00:32:42

Yes. Really?

00:32:43

How about a fondue pot?

00:32:44

You got one of those? No, we don't have that.

00:32:46

You got a freezer?

00:32:47

Yeah, I got a freezer.

00:32:48

What's the matter with you? Do you call it an ice box?

00:32:51

No, call it a freezer.

00:32:52

I don't know anybody that does that.

00:32:53

You got a sink?

00:32:54

Yeah, I got a sink.

00:32:55

Nice. You got a junk drawer in your kitchen? Yes. What have you got in there?

00:32:59

Batteries, headphones. Headphones? Yeah. Wires. A lot of wires.

00:33:04

Pants, paper clips.

00:33:06

I think you guys are blaspheming against the microwave. I don't think you're giving the microwave. What it means is entrenched on this. Popcorn.

00:33:13

Yeah.

00:33:14

What else are you making that all microwave have right now is popcorn. That's it.

00:33:17

Take away popcorn.

00:33:18

I'm going to tell you right now. That microwave is watching the game right now and talking about, Back in my day, we would have done it this way and that way. No, you wouldn't. You would have been lost out here in today's game with these athletes, these super athletes, these air fryers coming in. And by the way, air fryer, look over your shoulder. The hydration oven comes soon.

00:33:36

How do I heat up spaghetti out of the fridge? Microwave. It's the only way.

00:33:40

It's the only thing it has going on, and you can do it in the air fryer. You can. Does it better? Just do a little olive oil in there so it doesn't get too dry. I'm telling you, microwave has got to be looking around like, Man, am I next?

00:33:52

You guys are saying, and I don't use the air fryer enough to do this, to know the answer to my question. That's obvious by listening. You guys are saying that the microwave is only useful at this point for popcorn and nothing else, that the air fryer can do everything else.

00:34:08

Yes, the air fryer can do... Popcorn is the only thing I can think of that has to go in the way.

00:34:13

A little instant O'Mill, I guess. It still has a purpose, a little instant mac and cheese. For the little ones, you need a microwave.

00:34:18

I can't air fry my daughter's milk.

00:34:20

If it comes in a plastic, like a little carton, a styrofoam carton, all right, fine. You still have a purpose, but air fryer is totally one over the game.

00:34:28

I'll reheat in the micro.

00:34:31

You guys sound like people in 2010 trying to tell me, but I need the physical keyboard. What are you talking about? What are we doing here? We're caping for this relic of the past. It's literally from the '50s. It might as well come with one of those Adam drawings with the electrons flying all over it.

00:34:50

The microwave is from the '50s. I would have thought it's more recent than that. What a development. It is. The microwave is-We have cars that are from the 1880s.

00:34:58

I thought it was from the '70s.

00:34:59

We still use that.

00:34:59

I thought it was from the The microwave is 75 years old. That stuns me. That can't be. I don't believe-1945 by Percy Spencer.

00:35:08

That was a good man right there.

00:35:10

He has to have had cancer, right?

00:35:12

I am stunned. Put it on the poll, Juju at Lepotard show. Stage six. Is it guaranteed that the inventor of the microwave had stage six cancer? Dying of stage.

00:35:27

Do we need the stage?

00:35:28

Well, you know what? They I mean, I giggled at the stage. But surely, the trial and error of 1945 microwaves would be something that would be imperfect enough that for sure that guy fried his face.

00:35:42

There is no current cancer right now on Earth that match is the first cancer that came out of that first microwave.

00:35:48

The first microwave was refrigerator-sized, weighed over 750 pounds, and cost $5,000 at that time.

00:35:56

He died of a heart attack. There's no information suggesting. You ever watched the Incredible Hulk?

00:35:59

Poor Percy.

00:36:00

The Gamma rays hitting Bruce Banner, that's exactly what happened. They turned that thing on. They probably tried to make popcorn. There you go. Like you Jackasses.

00:36:08

It's so inefficient. You're just throwing some corn kernels in something the size of a fridge, and you're sending all of the world's radiation at it to make a single piece of popcorn. It seems inefficient. How much did it weigh? Give me more details.

00:36:27

750 pounds. It cost five grand, which at that time is a ton of money.

00:36:32

Oh, my God. Yes. For popcorn. How many different things were you using it for in 1945?

00:36:38

Now, I'm seeing the first popular home countertop model was released in '67 for $495.

00:36:45

That's more like it.

00:36:45

Still, 67 is earlier than I would have thought. Put it on the poll as well, Juju, @LebitardShow. Would you have guessed that the microwave had been invented in 1945? Yes or no?

00:37:00

I have a question that's out of left field, but how does Tyler Hero injured in having surgery? I mean, last week we were talking about him. We were talking about him as potentially the worst defender in the league. No one mentioned that, Hey, yeah, but he's got this thing that he's dealing with.

00:37:13

Where did this come from? Ankle. They announced it a couple of weeks ago.

00:37:16

He injured himself working out in the offseason?

00:37:19

I got the impression it was a lingering thing that they're finally having surgery on.

00:37:23

That's infuriating.

00:37:23

That's bad timing.

00:37:24

Why do they do that then? He's going to be out two months.

00:37:26

That can't be right. I mean, that can't be right what Greg is that they would wait that long for something that could have been done two months ago.

00:37:35

Well, him and Kachuk are both going to be out the same amount of time.

00:37:38

Yeah, but Kachuk is- No, but Kachuk is strategic. It's a strategic thing to take advantage of the league's salary cap rules. Tyler Hero has That's hugely important. What's going on here, Amin?

00:37:46

He should have jumped in the pool. He could have come back later if you're a k'chuck, right?

00:37:52

You were saying, Amin?

00:37:57

The policy usually is to try to see to see if you can rehab without a surgical option. That's the number one option. It's like, do we have to have surgery? You try to rehab and see how it goes. This thing for him happened, I think, in the middle of the summer, and apparently the rehab wasn't working, and so they went to the surgical option.

00:38:14

Did you enjoy watching Belichick lose this weekend? Is it something that you're still paying attention to, or is it something you've moved on from?

00:38:23

Dan, it was so uneventful. It was in my weekend observations, and I took it out. I had a joke about, Oh, the season is still young, just like Belichick likes it. But I'm like, No, irrelevant. You don't even get to throw away low hanging fruit joke, Bill Belichick. Come back when you mean something.

00:38:39

Did you see the kiss on the sideline between Belichick and his girl?

00:38:42

I wasn't paying attention. I told you.

00:38:43

It was pretty inappropriate.

00:38:44

It was amazing.

00:38:45

It was definitely not AI.

00:38:47

You guys want to show it to Amin? Can Amin see it right now? Amazing or inappropriate? Well, it was something that I think you don't normally see on a sideline, John Gruden on the poorly rated FS1 Wake Up With Barstool Show, complained about Mike Lombardi and Bill Belichick. Here you go, Amine. Here you go, Amine. This is before the game. It was stunning to see this before the game.

00:39:14

Oh, yeah. That's incredible. What was he thinking? Wait, that's not Bill Belichick.

00:39:19

It sure looks like him.

00:39:20

That's when you picked her up. The red flag was him picking her up.

00:39:23

That's when it threw you off. He picked her up.

00:39:27

He was back out doing that.

00:39:28

You were surprised by the man's strength. Good talking, do you mean? See you later.

00:39:33

All right, Cinepub movie this week is a Kevin James movie that I don't even remember the name. It's terrible. It's something about him being an assassin.

00:39:40

You don't remember the name of it?

00:39:42

The movie has a very long title. He's a writer, but in his books, he writes himself as an assassin character, and then people think that the book is real, so they hire him to be an assassin, but he's really just Kevin James, a fat guy.

00:39:56

True story?

00:39:58

Based on a true story, yeah. See you later. Like that Sean Payton movie.

00:40:02

Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo.

00:40:11

Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

00:40:13

Well, I do know that to be true, but even during an ad, reads like... Cuervo. I think it could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

00:40:20

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

00:40:21

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So enjoy the tequila that started it all. The tequila that invented tequila. Proximo. Cuervo. Com. Please drink responsibly. Cuervo.
