Chapter 1: What is the significance of Cuervo in the podcast?
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 he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.
Cuervo.
Cuervo.

Chapter 2: Why is The Players Championship important?
You're absolutely right. It's the players' major. Yeah. It's the players' championship. This is one of the most beautiful courses in all of golf. Best hole in golf? Yes. The Island Green. The Island Green. It's the only hole in golf that I have immortalized in a T-shirt that I bought. 17 at TPC Sawgrass is special. It's where tournaments are won and lost.
You'll get the occasional electrifying hole in one. This is a beautiful course with a beautiful hole. You have it on a t-shirt? I do. A long sleeve, navy blue. Might have been green. Might have been the day to wear it.
I love this tournament. You weren't on Thursday. You weren't on Thursday.
This is appointment viewing for me. I have a special relationship with TPC Sawgrass. Whenever this tournament is on TV, it's always during the doldrums of March, right before we get going on the NCAA tournament. One day a year, I sit in a hot tub and I watch golf. It's always the players. It's uber relaxing. I love how this tournament can swing wildly from one hole to another.
The players get up for it because it's their championship after all. This, for me, and I know that we have like the The Waste Management Open around Super Bowl time. That's a people's major. This is a player's major. This, for me, really kickstarts PGA season. This means occasionally I'm going to have to lock in that DK contest.
Occasionally I'm going to have to stay on top of the group chat because now golf has really started.
The 7th at Pebble Beach, I'm trying to think of other holes that would compete for this title, but it's not that island green, though.
Really?
Because the seventh at Pebble Beach, for people that don't know, it's the par three where you hit it into the ocean, essentially. Yeah. And it's like 130 yards, but you have to hit like a three iron because the wind is so crazy. Oh, it's the eighth hole. The eighth hole. Is it the eighth? Oh, my bad.

Chapter 3: How has Bill Burr impacted comedy and culture?
We have dramatic moments in golf that have happened here. A lot of illustrious winners in this one. And it's really when players round into form because Gus is around the corner. This is when the guys, and there have been some questions in golf. Scheffler was straight up on fire to close the season last year. A little bit of a struggle to get going.
One of the things that I got my eyes on is guys that have remained active during the quieter part of the season. Yeah. with TGL and whatnot, they're actually sharper in these tournaments right now and performing quite well. You think he could three-peat on this? I mean, I haven't seen the form. Sheffler in the field, I'm going with the field. I haven't seen the form there.
I've got to see him lock back in there. There are guys like, I like what Rory's displayed lately, Keegan Bradley, Clark. I mean, he was a house of fire to close the final round.
Jason Day played well last week.
Yeah.
Jason Day's not going to win at all, but I could see him playing well this week.
Golf is one of those sports. Look, I don't really know what goes into a good golfer other than the score, right? So one of the things that I've seized on in taking action is just making sure and building out my daily fantasy teams is who's in good form right now? Because form in golf tends to stick around for a couple of tournaments.
So maybe Scheffler can start anew, but I just need to see better form from Scotty Scheffler.
Let me see these golfers.

Chapter 4: What role does anti-establishment play in modern comedy?
I guarantee you at Augusta, they're not walking up with their own bags.
Only at the players. The players. The players. The players. The players. It's a beautiful course to watch on television as well. Yeah. It's just the game pops, the Island Green specifically, but this entire course pops. The weather is always immaculate this time of year at TPC Sawgrass. It's a pure joy to watch this tournament.
You're guaranteed better weather at this one than you usually are for Augusta because that's a little further up north and occasionally... The weather can get a little wonky up there. This is certainly way better than the British Open, which is essentially just taupe. You're constantly fiddling with your settings on your TV. That's where golf started, man.
Golf should not be played with 40-mile-per-hour winds and your knees deep in the rough. It's just a terrible viewing experience. You can't even work in a proper golf nap. TPC Sawgrass, it exists for the golf nap. You'll take the golf nap. Players. You'll take it from like 7 to 12, hole 7 to hole 12, and then you're good. You don't miss much. And you still got 17, the island green ahead of you.
The players.
I got top five holes. You guys want to hear it?
Yeah.
Golf holes or just holes?
You're going to have to clarify.

Chapter 5: How has Andrew Schultz influenced the comedy scene?
Is the one in Jim Nance's backyard? Without the wind.
Yeah. You're shooting from a cliff, basically. You're shooting down. You're overlooking the hole. You're shooting down onto the ground.
I believe it's the hole Dwayne Wade got a hole in one on. Yeah.
Have you ever played this hole?
I've played Beville Beach, but it was before I was really, like, I was young. I went with my dad when we were, so I did play it, but I wish I played it later in life.
I wish I could play it. Beautiful course. And number one at TPC Sawgrass, par 317, the Island Green. The Island Green.
The Players. The Players. That'll do it for us.
The Players.
The Players. Princess Players. What does the future hold for business? It's a question I've been asking myself, and I know if you ask nine experts, you're going to get 10 different answers. Bull market, bear market, inflation up, inflation down. Could someone please just invent a crystal ball?

The Germans are advancing on France in World War II. This is the Dan Levatard Show with the Stugats.
If you've been listening here for a while, you have heard me really be fascinated over the years with the way that in the last 25 years of news, someone like Jon Stewart on a comedy channel could rise to a trustworthy source when you're not totally trusting where your news and information comes from. And so you lean on a comedian.
And I saw all the polls I've told you about that made him the most trusted newsman in America over all the anchor people who were doing the newscasts. In the modern age, it's been really cool to watch Bill Burr navigate the comedy space and the acting space because he's doing Glenn Gary, Glenn Ross on Broadway.
He's directing films, but he's also speaking for the everyman on some stuff when it comes to going after Elon Musk or going after health care greed or going after the places where people just can't afford to keep up. Bill Burr has been a stronger voice on Elon Musk than almost everyone in America.
And it's been amazing to watch America connect with a comedian that whether you like his style or not, or whether you think he's too angry, he really has broken through as somebody who can master even what people are regarding as difficult comedic times.
Are we calling Bill Burr Woody Plage as well? I don't know what you're saying there. Stugatz was harder on Elon Musk before anyone was. And now here comes Bill Burr, horning in on Stugatz's territory.
I just think it's cool that Bill Burr is wading into this. Because, as we know, most comedians these days are not exactly going to the left on their comedy. They're going to the right on their comedy and toward their audience. And, you know, we've had this conversation electorally. Does the left need their version of Joe Rogan? Is Bill Burr that? I don't really care.
I'm not interested in that conversation because I think it makes it too simplified in what the issues are in the voting delegate. I just think it's great that you have someone who is out there. And authentically just expressing how he feels about it and relating to so many people who are so frustrated, but not doing it by stoking the fires of, oh, hey, go look at the trans community. They suck.
