Chapter 1: What are the sponsorships and promotions in this episode?

00:01 - 00:22 Dan Le Batard

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo. I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

00:29 - 00:29 Stugatz

Cuervo.

00:34 - 00:34 Andrew Hawkins

01:07 - 01:25 Dan Le Batard

And what I love so much about the GameTime app is they got all in pricing with a little push of a button. No surprises at checkout and you get panoramic seat views, especially if you're going to a venue you've never gone to before. You want to know exactly what you're looking at before you purchase. GameTime offers you that opportunity. Last minute tickets, lowest price guaranteed.

Chapter 3: Why was Poppy's Domino Tournament postponed?

01:26 - 01:43 Dan Le Batard

As an aside, a quick PSA to our audience. I received word this morning that Poppy's Domino Tournament has been postponed. So if you purchase tickets to that event, don't worry. We will take care of that. You'll be issued refunds in the coming days. You'll hear about more information on that and when there will be a new date. Game time.

0

01:44 - 01:47 Amin Elhassan

I feel like that should be their slogan or something. It was at one point.

0

01:47 - 01:48 Dan Le Batard

Send them a copy this time.

0

01:48 - 02:05 Amin Elhassan

You got to go get Ray Lewis to do it, though. He's the only one who can deliver. That wasn't even his, was it? He did it the best. It wasn't his? Wasn't it the Bulls? Nah. No? I thought it was Ray. No, Ray was all my dogs in the house. Right? He might have used game time. But that was Bahaman.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

Yeah, that was definitely the Baja. I mean, it's all copyright issues.

00:00 - 00:00 Amin Elhassan

The Baja men are the exact opposite of all my dogs in the house. The Baja men were concerned about who let all the dogs out of their house.

00:00 - 00:00 Stugatz

Can I ask you something about house really quick, just because you mentioned it, and I feel like we're not going to get back to it. You just said that when you had a cat sitter at your house and your cat would scurry about and go sneak the food, that the cat sitter thought, oh, that's just one of those house noises. And we all just kind of moved on.

00:00 - 00:00 Stugatz

That's like one of the weirdest things we do as like a society, right? Is like we just like there's noises in your house. You're like, ah, it's just a house noise. And it's really just because like I don't want to deal with whatever that noise is. So as long as I don't know what it is and it doesn't sound like it's too serious, that's just a house noise. And we're not going to address that.

Chapter 4: What is the discussion about Uber ratings and personal strategies?

02:51 - 03:05 Amin Elhassan

No, it's creaking. It's the changing temperature. I think this explains it, right? It's like the change in temperature. It's wood and whatever expanding and contracting. And so you want me to go find where it is contracted and heat up that portion of the house?

0

03:05 - 03:13 Stugatz

No, I'm just saying I feel like there's so much going on that there's just a certain level of sound that you just allow to occur. And you're like, I don't really need to know what that is.

0

03:13 - 03:20 Amin Elhassan

I was going to let you off the hook, Billy. But we need to know what your Uber rating is because you seem like you- He's grown up in nice houses.

0

03:21 - 03:23 Billy

He's grown up in such nice houses that they don't have creeks.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Stugatz

Meanwhile- No, it's just there's always one temperature down here so wood doesn't get colder or hotter. And everything's like concrete too.

00:00 - 00:00 Amin Elhassan

As much as I love the value you bring to the show with these interesting non sequiturs, I imagine that this is not a bit. This is you all the time. And so when you're riding in Ubers, you probably annoy the hell out of your driver because you're like, hey. Well, OK.

00:00 - 00:00 Stugatz

I don't like the way you're setting this up at all. I was thinking today just walking in. It was his strategy today.

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

Don't take it.

00:00 - 00:00 Stugatz

I was walking in today just thinking because I saw someone doing something. I'm like, that person's kind of weird, right? And then I thought, well, like to that person, they're normal, right? And like, I'm weird. So like, I'm positive. No, it wasn't you.

Chapter 5: Why was Taylor Jenkins fired from the Grizzlies?

09:23 - 09:25 Amin Elhassan

I'm embarrassed.

0

09:26 - 09:32 Mike

for the 49 Club. And then Amin, I texted Amin as I scroll through my text now. This is not great on air.

0

09:33 - 09:37 Stugatz

So let me ask you something. The lower numbers, I'm assuming it's always someone else's fault, right?

0

09:38 - 09:44 Amin Elhassan

Everyone's always like, oh, my friends. We found out yesterday that Lucy had a dot. What did Lucy have?

0

00:00 - 00:00 Dan Le Batard

496.

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

She had two charges of $250 for throwing up in the Uber. That she remembered.

00:00 - 00:00 Stugatz

They couldn't have been on her account. There's no chance. That has to have been like a group of friends that someone else got. There's no way that you've thrown up in a car and you have it that high twice.

00:00 - 00:00 Mike

That's crazy. So Amin, he texted me. I said, what's your Uber rating? He said 4.86, but that's with the black tax. So I am probably a 4.91, all else being equal.

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

That's valid. I'll take it. I didn't want to go into that, but I can tell when I get an Uber if this guy likes black people or not.

Chapter 6: How does the NBA superstar culture affect team dynamics?

10:51 - 11:09 Amin Elhassan

So, someone who is not getting a good rating, at least not from John Morant, is Taylor Jenkins. I want to get into this conversation. He got fired from the Grizzlies, who were in third place and had a really good record. They're considered a Western conference contender. It was kind of a shocking, probably would have been the most shocking thing.

0

11:09 - 11:14 Dan Le Batard

The vote on the Tush Push has been tabled.

0

11:16 - 11:24 Amin Elhassan

Boom. Back to you. So this probably would have been the most shocking thing in the NBA season if it wasn't for the fact that Luka got traded.

0

11:24 - 11:42 Amin Elhassan

But, like, having Taylor Jenkins, a winning coach on a team that seems to be heading in the right direction and a respected X and O's coach, be fired by his team just before the playoffs, I think 15 games out of the playoffs while they're playing well in third place, blew my mind. I think some reporting has come out since –

0

00:00 - 00:00 Charlie

Yeah, so the background on this is they cleared house of their assistant coaches this offseason, and the new offense ran fewer ball screens, and John Morant in this system was not happy with his fewest touches, fewest points, fewest shot attempts per game in several years.

00:00 - 00:00 Charlie

He's also a considerably worse player than he was three years ago, shooting the ball significantly worse, and it creates a really interesting situation. You have a good coach, you have John Morant, who... regardless of how absurd the NBA suspension and over the top was for his off the court stuff a couple of years ago.

00:00 - 00:00 Charlie

He is still an unstable superstar because he doesn't play and he's not a consistent scorer because he can't shoot the basketball. He hasn't been consistent in the postseason. You guys, is it right in the NBA superstar culture to let that guy in that city change that coach?

00:00 - 00:00 Amin Elhassan

Yeah, the reporting is that he's out because Ja didn't like the changes to the offense.

00:00 - 00:00 Charlie

It's implied. It's not explicitly said, but the implication is that he wasn't happy with his role in the new offense. They're trying to figure out the reasons why.

Chapter 7: What is the debate about Ja Morant's athletic abilities?

17:41 - 18:01 Charlie

Is that the toughest spot for an NBA team to be in, though? Where you don't want to trade someone that talented because if you trade him somewhere, it's like he could be a 38-5 guy on a random team. But if you keep him and he's entitled to thinking he's in charge of the organization, you might just be a first-round buy every single year for a higher seed. It's tough.

0

18:01 - 18:09 Mike

That's like having a quarterback who's like the 13th best quarterback. You're like, ah, he's good enough to start, but am I going to win anything? Tua? Yes, actually.

0

18:11 - 18:26 Amin Elhassan

Yeah, the alternatives at that position are tough, and it's impossible to find the perfect quarterback for your situation, but you wouldn't move on from Tua. I think Ja is probably a higher version than Tua, but that's not the perfect... Do you think he has a better arm than him?

0

18:27 - 18:33 Charlie

Ja Morant? Yeah. Straight up, if they started the goal line... That's so disrespectful. Do you think he could throw a football further?

0

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

Absolutely not.

00:00 - 00:00 Charlie

I do.

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

There's no way.

00:00 - 00:00 Amin Elhassan

How tall is Josh? 6'3"?

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

Yeah.
