[1] Now's a good time to remember where the story of tequila started.
[2] In 1795, the first tequila distillery was opened by the Cuervo family.
[3] And 229 years later, Cuervo is still going strong.
[4] Family owned from the start, same family, same land.
[5] Now's a good time to enjoy Cuervo.
[6] The tequila that invented tequila.
[7] Go to Quervo .com to shop tequila or visit a store near you.
[8] Quervo, now's a good time.

[13] Please drink responsibly.
[14] This is the Dan Levatore show with the Stucats podcast.
[15] Have a day, the internet.
[16] Oh, what a, what a day for everyone yesterday.
[17] It was spectacular and sad to see.
[18] We will get into that in a moment, but I don't want to miss the mark.
[19] We need to talk about Simone Biles.
[20] Please.
[21] And that incredible achievement from one of our nation's greatest athletes, what a display yesterday, really warm the heart when you consider everything that she went through, both between her own ears and from outside forces with their own agendas, to see her, to see her deliver in that moment.
[22] And I would say cement her legacy, but for me it was already cemented.
[23] it really meant the world of me to see, and we need to give Simone Biles her flowers.
[24] Before we start doing that, before we start celebrating, and hello, everyone.
[25] Hello, Juju, Chris, Jess, Tony, Roy.
[26] Hey, Izzy.
[27] I want to know how you guys experienced that.
[28] So I watched it live, and I know I said the other day I talked about the men's team and how I watched that.
[29] And I thought I was nervous then.
[30] Holy cow, was I losing it?
[31] Like, when she was on the beam and it was, oh, no. She had a mistake on uneven bars, and now it's the most nerve -wracking event in all of sports.
[32] Don't you dare shake a little bit.
[33] Don't you dare have a jump scare.
[34] And imagine having a jump scare and then trying to remember the very next thing you're supposed to do.
[35] I was losing it.
[36] You're not better than me for watching it live.
[37] You said that very dismissive thing.
[38] I watched your live.
[39] I just wanted to put the picture because it was three in the afternoon.
[40] I also watched it live.
[41] Yeah, so as long as you watched it with maybe not knowing and had a little bit of nerves, then I would say you're on the same page.
[42] I thought the Brazilian gymnast who came in second that got the silver medal, Rebecca Andraja, she was incredible and she put so much pressure on Simone Biles to not screw up because going into the floor routine, it wasn't like it was, okay, she can mail it in, she's got the difficulty level.
[43] So even if she steps out or kind of flub some of the landing, she'll be fine.
[44] know.
[45] She had to like really go in there with all the pressure on her.
[46] So it was actually like phenomenal television.
[47] And so I watched it live too, Izzy on my way home from work.
[48] And then I watched the rear on prime time later because I was like, I just got to do this again.
[49] It was kind of like we felt this locally with the Panthers.
[50] The Panthers would have a big game and you'd want to see all the highlights on your phone.
[51] I kind of felt that a little bit last night.
[52] And yeah, even in the in the all around team final, There was, she has like this weird ability because she always qualifies so well.
[53] She's always going last.
[54] And no one has to deal with that same sort of pressure.
[55] So in the team, when you have all these, generally you have all these other rotations going on, nothing else was going on.
[56] All eyes were on her.
[57] And it made something where she just had to play it safe.
[58] It made it a little bit more pressure filled.
[59] And yesterday we saw a moment that I was a little conflicted on.
[60] understanding that what she went through at the last Olympics, I kind of talk out of both sides of my mouth on this one because I want to see her shut people up.
[61] I want to see her overcome all that adversity.
[62] I want her to overcome all that pressure.
[63] And anybody that had anything to say the last go -round has to shut up because she delivered in that moment.
[64] But also, I don't want her to encounter these triggers.
[65] I don't want her to be going.
[66] through that inner battle, the mental aspects of the game.
[67] And thank God, she overcame everything and delivered.
[68] It was a great moment.
[69] One of the all -time Olympic moments, I think.
[70] It's kind of strange to have an all -time Olympic moment when you have, by consensus, such a large favorite, because she is a dominant athlete.
[71] And you think back to some of the other great Olympic moments, both in summer and winter Olympics, they're usually underdog stories that resonate.
[72] But I do think that there's an underdog story in that she wasn't necessarily chasing other gymnasts, though they brought it.
[73] She was also chasing what was going on in her own head and having to overcome that.
[74] And I think that's a story that resonates with everybody.
[75] Well, to me it was the perfect test.
[76] Like Jess said, not only did Andrade put the pressure on her, but she also had a mistake.
[77] So then it was, oh, okay, I need to take advantage of the fact that my difficulty is higher than everybody else's down the stretch on these last two events.
[78] And so I just need to be solid.
[79] But when you watched her come off the beam, I've never seen her more nervous.
[80] That was after she finished.
[81] And so I'm like, wow, she was nervous as I'll get out there.
[82] And that's part of the humanizing thing that I'd mentioned, you know, watching the Netflix doc.
[83] I was like, wow, I thought she was this perfect athletic robot.
[84] But here she actually has feelings.
[85] And so I was wondering, going into that floor, would those nerves spill over?
[86] That's twice this week you've used as all get out.
[87] That's a very old saying.
[88] Sorry.
[89] As hell.
[90] He doesn't want to use H .E. Double hockey.
[91] Yeah, I don't.
[92] As heck.
[93] I'm unfamiliar with the gamesmanship of gymnastics because during Androge's beam, she was being cheered on by Simone Biles.
[94] Like, is this Simone, like, like, hey, you hear me cheering for you?
[95] You think it's nefarious?
[96] No, no, I'm just saying gamesmanship.
[97] I'm like, I am trying to build up this pressure right now.
[98] But where do you guys stand on that?
[99] Because I don't know much about the relationship.
[100] If I'm on Pommel horse and my teammates are yelling at me the whole time, I just want them to shut up, man. Oh, the pommel horse was where I noticed it too, where they were, yes, where they were like, you got this, get the rhythm, you're good, you're in rhythm, on the pomm horse.
[101] I was like, oh my God, I would be like, dad, shut up, stop yelling.
[102] And the broadcaster was calling attention to it.
[103] You can hear Simone cheering her on.
[104] I don't know, I was just thinking, like, I think it was very interesting because they seem to have good interactions, but it was just like.
[105] Yeah, they know each other.
[106] They competed against each other a number of times.
[107] So I think it was like a genuine, like, supportive, like, you got this.
[108] But a little also, like, I'm here.
[109] I'm Simone Biles, and I'm cheering for you at the biggest moment of your life.
[110] I don't know.
[111] It just felt like a little bit of game.
[112] The optics are good of it.
[113] It's a good look.
[114] I don't think that that was her intention.
[115] By all accounts, their relationship is a genuine one.
[116] But you know she's not really rooting for her in that.
[117] Yeah, but that's me not having.
[118] She wants her to fall, though, secretly.
[119] That's me not having enough connection points to the sport itself because I don't watch it often enough.
[120] I doubt that it's she wants her to fall.
[121] I think she just wants to do everything better.
[122] It doesn't necessarily, you're not like necessarily rooting for someone to fail because like we said, like her difficulty level on everything is so much higher that the other opponents can do their routines perfectly and Simone Biles can still win.
[123] They said Simone just has to be Simone here and I'm like, okay, that's cool if I totally understand and I watch Simone every time out.
[124] But generally I'm following this year to year and I don't know what that means.
[125] outside of watching other floor routines and realizing that, oh, this is a far more difficult routine, I would have preferred more from the commentary there just to kind of explain what was going on as someone that was just kind of following it year to year.
[126] You know what I learned is that you're supposed to look at the end of the beam to keep your balance, and I just feel like that wouldn't work for me. I feel like I would still fall.
[127] I watched the video of Sunni Lee.
[128] I think she was maybe six or seven on a homemade balance beam doing backflips.
[129] and, man, would I be a proud parent?
[130] If my kid was doing that at that age, I'd be like, I'm done.
[131] Hey, give it up for Sunni Lee, by the way.
[132] Bronze medal after her health scares, everything she had to give up gymnastics for a little bit and figure out what was going on.
[133] She went to Auburn.
[134] That must have sucked.
[135] Oh, wow.
[136] What am I going?
[137] She did an amazing job closing that thing out on the floor routine, getting the bronze medal.
[138] What a day.
[139] It was a great moment.
[140] On the bars, she showed her guts.
[141] Like, she's just such a gamer.
[142] And, like, to come out in that battle for third, and it was who's going to be the cleanest?
[143] And you see her on floor, and there was no question she was going to be the best of those three.
[144] She just had it.
[145] And that was so much fun to watch the two of them go out there with that flag.
[146] And going back to Simone, just real quick, right before she was going to get on the floor, I was actually doing affirmations for her.
[147] I was saying, I've been here a million times.
[148] He's done this before.
[149] We've been the last floor exercise of a meeting.
[150] Just be Simone.
[151] Just be Simone.
[152] And I was like, you know what?
[153] This is crazy.
[154] Like, I am not seven years old anymore.
[155] I was a big fan of what she's done with her platform in the lead -up to it.
[156] Her post afterwards, once again, becoming a really leaning into mental health advocacy.
[157] I think she's going to be an icon.
[158] She already is an American athletic icon.
[159] She already was kind of a mental health advocacy icon, but strap a rocket to it now, because by all accounts, we'll see, but this should be the end.
[160] of her international career, we'll see.
[161] Maybe she might want to rise to the challenge of Los Angeles.
[162] We are seeing advancements in medicine, but historically, she's basically a dinosaur in that sport in terms of international competition, but there was a 33 -year -old competing for Brazil this year.
[163] So we're seeing new things in that sport.
[164] Maybe she rises to the challenge.
[165] She doesn't have anything else to prove.
[166] But now she can just be an advocate with this platform.
[167] And she is one hell of a role model.
[168] And I was just so damn proud of her.
[169] They still have the individual events finals.
[170] And I think she's in a few of them.
[171] It's kind of weird how we do this, right?
[172] I remember 96 and like the team, the team medal was like the big deal there.
[173] And the iconic moments came from the team final there.
[174] It is kind of weird that we break this off.
[175] It kind of feels like the bigger events start everything, and then we just go to individual competitions where specialists have their moment.
[176] I think it would mean more.
[177] This is me telling the Olympics how to do their job.
[178] I think it means more if you have an already like silver metal winning, you know, balance beam gymnast in the team competition, because you have that to attribute to that gymnast, and it just helps with a narrative.
[179] I think it goes that way because if you're injured individually, then you hurt your team.
[180] So you start off with a team.
[181] So you start off and then you go with the more important one, which is the all -around, hey, least important ones are the individuals, and whatever reason you're hurt or whatever, you can pull out of those, not the worst thing.
[182] Makes sense and is better logic than just mine of wanting better storytelling and therefore more drama.
[183] Your hat's cracking me up, by the way, because 90 % of the time, and this reminds me of myself yesterday, 90 % of the time you're lamenting how shitty it's been in this country lately, and now look at that flag, just beaming right off the top of your head.
[184] Well, this is a, so I got IG targeted by New Era Caps, and it's a, it's a, it's a, big IG target for like the Roblo Patriots because this is a basketball hat.
[185] I got a three pack.
[186] I have an Olympic tennis hat.
[187] I have an Olympic soccer hat and I have an Olympic basketball hat.
[188] And they're all different size.
[189] The tennis is a dad cap.
[190] The soccer is more like a like your trucker style.
[191] And then this is your, you know, flat brim new era snapback.
[192] So thank you for noticing the hat.
[193] And I'm very patriotic and like as we saw with some of the discourse.
[194] I've talked about, like, wanting to get a U .S. flag, but I'm worried about, like, what people might think of me, and I'm probably worried about that too much because...
[195] So you're worried about what people think of you being patriotic?
[196] Right, because, well, one party has, in this country that I don't, I think it's evident, I don't agree with often, has co -opted patriotism, has basically made themselves a party of the flag.
[197] So Democrats can't have an American flag in front of their house?
[198] That's kind of like the feeling, even though I do have, like, especially during Fourth of July, I do.
[199] I love this country.
[200] I love what it aspires to.
[201] This might be naive, but I think what we're experiencing now in this timeline can be attributed to growing pains.
[202] It was pretty bad in the 60s.
[203] People fight progress.
[204] And they've never had to fight progress with the internet.
[205] And that's going to make things a little bit more difficult when we get to artificial intelligence, becoming more and more prominent and misinformation only becoming more and more prominent.
[206] I fear that our divisions will only grow stronger.
[207] Are you going to write on this on the flag that you put up there?
[208] I wish this hat said all those things.
[209] So what does that, what does AI and stuff have to do with a flag in front of your house?
[210] So what it means, and I appreciate you challenging me on this.
[211] I'm a little bit of asking.
[212] No, I'm honestly thinking like, I want one writing on it.
[213] If you want one, put one up, who cares?
[214] Like, people are going to drive by and be like, oh, he's Republican.
[215] Yeah.
[216] Well, yeah.
[217] Yeah.
[218] Does that matter to you?
[219] Somewhat, especially after yesterday.
[220] Only when it's on a truck, do I think that?
[221] At a house, I'm always like...
[222] That house is Republican.
[223] No, a house I don't think it.
[224] If it's a gray flag, I already know.
[225] If there's truck testicles and it's like a pole from the back of the bed, that's when I'm like...
[226] They're on their way to a Luke Combs concert.
[227] I like the black and white ones where they start you with one color and then you can fill out the rest of the rainbow flag.
[228] Those are my favorites.
[229] Yeah, it depends on...
[230] You usually starts with blue, I think.
[231] It depends on the stripes.
[232] Like, there's a whole lot of things.
[233] But look, I understand.
[234] understand, and your perspective on this is a right one.
[235] I love my country.
[236] I love being American.
[237] I love our freedoms all around.
[238] And I think that that should be focused on, too.
[239] Except for the internet you're saying.
[240] Freedom to be you.
[241] Well, I do think that there need to be checks and balances, and I think it's okay to admit that you're wrong.
[242] Summer's the best time to run the way you want.
[243] Dial it up with new challenges and programs and bring your workouts with you to make the most of outside sunny days.
[244] Stugats, guess what?
[245] What?
[246] You know what you can do with Peloton?
[247] What?
[248] Get the app.
[249] Go outside.
[250] I thought you'd ride Peloton inside.
[251] Well, you do.
[252] You can ride Peloton inside if it's a rainy day or if it's cloudy or you just don't want to get outside.
[253] Maybe it's too hot.
[254] It's summertime.
[255] Go outside.
[256] I record a lot from my office with you.
[257] And you've noticed it's sitting there yet it hasn't been used.
[258] Well, now's the time.
[259] Summer's the best time to start that push, Stugats.
[260] Right.
[261] Can we do it together?
[262] Not on the same bike, but we could join a class together.
[263] I used to do that.
[264] We used to have Guillemotan and invite people.
[265] We'd all take a class together.
[266] Same time.
[267] So I think you're starting to get concerned about my health and my age, Billy.
[268] I sense that with you.
[269] We're beyond starting.
[270] Okay.
[271] Whatever road lies ahead, your training starts here with Peloton Tread and Tread Plus.
[272] It's not just a bike, a treadmill, too.
[273] I'm going to go outside.
[274] I'm going to get in shape.
[275] I'm going to do it with Billy Gill.
[276] I want to be in your class.
[277] I want you to be my instructor.
[278] You don't want to spend more time with me. No, I can schedule a class and we can ride together.
[279] I won't be the instructor of the class.
[280] We can have Camila could be our instructor.
[281] I like the Grateful Dead class.
[282] My daughter, she uses the Peloton.
[283] She was on at once and an instructor who was playing Grateful Dead tunes Let's do that Okay Why don't we go for a run Outside guided run Peloton Me and you That's something we can do together Okay Turn on the app Me and you go outside Enjoy the summer Call yourself a runner with Peloton At one peloton .com Slash running All right Don Lebertard What the motherfucker Roiz at Bring his ass on here Where's the motherfucker Ruiz is a great question Stugats Running huh He running today huh I'm ready This is the Don Lebatore show with the Stugat.
[284] I wanted to talk about some other things, but yesterday was a day for the internet.
[285] And I listened back to the post game, and while I was proud of myself for not totally showing my ass because I had read up on this a little bit more, I think my tone could have been a little bit better, but at that moment I was already getting worked up.
[286] What I feared was going to happen several days ago, which is people are going to get this story wrong, the basic facts of this story wrong, and it's going to be used to fuel an agenda.
[287] So, Izzy, we have not gotten your thoughts on it.
[288] We got my thoughts on it yesterday.
[289] I'm curious how you experienced yesterday.
[290] So we're talking about the two fighters that a lot of, whatever we want to call it, certain media members are saying, are flat out saying our men or flat out saying are transgender, which there is no evidence that either of these women were born anything other than women.
[291] And the only thing that we're discussing here is elevated levels of testosterone.
[292] And so to me, and you know, you want to talk about the two governing bodies.
[293] whether it be the boxing governing body and whether how they are not in charge currently.
[294] Well, there's a lot of corruption in that organization and separating itself from the IOC separating itself from that, I find totally fair.
[295] I also, obviously, they have different sets of rules.
[296] And in this situation, what is happening is people jumping all over the gender conversation.
[297] And this is not a transgender topic.
[298] And you see all the people that are jumping on it.
[299] This former swimmer named Riley Gaines from Kentucky who has only continued to be famous because of this.
[300] this topic.
[301] She once tied Leah Thomas in a race, and Leah Thomas, if you can remember, is famous for being a very successful swimmer in college, who also happens to be transgender, and this Riley Gaines person has taken that tie, I believe that was a fifth place tie, into all this kind of right -wing discussion and turning us into a transgender conversation, saying a man is going to kill a woman in the ring when she's a swimmer.
[302] I don't know what she knows about boxing or combat sports.
[303] And it's all just become so typical of what all of these conversations become.
[304] It's not the actual discussion at hand, which has, again, nothing to do with transgender people because there's no evidence of that being part of the discussion, now just jumping in and making that the entire story.
[305] It bothers me that that is the case.
[306] It bothers me when people jump in and have these discussions without any sort of information.
[307] But mostly what bothers me is that people are not going to change their opinions when you have these conversations and therefore they almost seem pointless.
[308] They don't seem like good faith discussions, especially when you check somebody on it and most people are just refusing to admit that they got it wrong and then they just pivot to an intersex conversation, which I kind of check out on because I'm like, you were convinced this person had a penis five seconds ago and now you're establishing a protocol for intersex combat sports competition.
[309] It should be noted that these two fighters, yes, there are two fighters that have this surrounding them, but the internet sees on one moment.
[310] We're an Italian fighter.
[311] Who's quit before in a fight, by the way?
[312] It's not the first time this Italian fighter has done this.
[313] They seized on this one moment.
[314] These two fighters that have these failed gender tests around them have competed in the Olympics before.
[315] This Algerian fighter, and I want to underscore Algeria because of what the LGBTQ community goes through there.
[316] It is illegal.
[317] It is illegal to be a transgender in Algeria.
[318] They are borderline Sharia.
[319] They don't come out and say it, but their policy is borderline Sharia law.
[320] So you have these fighters that have competed before, and I think previously, if I read up on this correctly, they had one failed test with the previous governing body.
[321] They had passed all the tests before and met the threshold.
[322] They had this failed test.
[323] They were outgoing.
[324] They didn't provide any clarity on that.
[325] And these two fighters have had this hanging over them the entire time.
[326] And now I've been totally co -opted by a political conversation.
[327] When this has, I saw J .D. Vance had to go at Kamala Harris.
[328] What Algeria does with its Olympic team has nothing to do with what's going on here.
[329] And the same thing with the opening ceremonies.
[330] Why are we making everything about us and everything political?
[331] It's the French opening ceremonies.
[332] It's Algerian boxing.
[333] Yes, you may be fearful of a dystopian future, and this is Joe Biden's America.
[334] No, it's not.
[335] This is not an actual thing that is interfering with your life.
[336] And a lot of people just got it wrong.
[337] Jess, I saw you wanted to get in on this.
[338] Yeah, so the gender verification test, it's still, I haven't found clarification on what that was.
[339] So I don't think we can say definitively, like, if it was a, elevated testosterone levels.
[340] This was done by, like, as he said, a governing body of a sport that's no longer recognized by the IOC because of its absurd levels of corruption.
[341] No, we did pull the curtain back a little bit and say, like, there wasn't clarity provided on this because they were an outgoing governing body.
[342] And like you mentioned, her passport has her listed as female, and it would be against the law for her to be trans in Algeria.
[343] And the entire country would have to be in on it.
[344] Yeah.
[345] One of the conservative talking points that I saw.
[346] with people that have formed really strong opinions based on like an aggregated graphic tile was that, oh, you can manipulate a passport.
[347] Algeria ain't playing ball that way.
[348] That goes against their general philosophy on these things.
[349] And for people in the United States and for famous children's book authors to just take this and co -opt it, actually, like, it makes this very dangerous for her.
[350] And I feel so terrible for this woman that this should be an event that she gets to compete in and like feel proud of herself or representing her country.
[351] And she's also talked before about how becoming a boxer was hard because of the stigma against women competing in boxing when she was growing up.
[352] And so it's like she's fought sexism to get to this point.
[353] And now she's fighting this like trans panic like scare for coming from a lot of personalities and people in a country that she's not even from, like trying to impose our culture war on her and her competition.
[354] Like, it's very frustrating.
[355] I feel very bad for her.
[356] Like, the whole situation is just, like, awful to watch unfold.
[357] And, like, the entire, like, watching, like, all of these different American celebrities, like, tweeting about it yesterday.
[358] Like, just made me feel, like, just.
[359] Shout out to the IOC, then, for standing by them and speaking openly saying, hey, this is not a gender issue.
[360] This is, these are two fighters who I'm, we're saddened that they have to go through this.
[361] even the fighter, the Italian fighter who quit in that boxing match, what she said on the, in the ring is different than what she said outside of it, where she was just like, oh, it's not for me to decide, where she was in the ring sort of implying something different, saying it was unfair, reportedly.
[362] So I think the whole conversation is unfair.
[363] I think obviously we zero in on it because it is the Olympics, and it's, you know, you've got these so -called experts just telling us how to feel on this.
[364] And the thing that bothers me the most is they find that they're experts on huge.
[365] humanity in general, like century, like how many years of humanity have we had that these folks, like, no, we've got it all figured out.
[366] Nothing involves.
[367] Nothing changes.
[368] We know everything.
[369] It's absolute nonsense.
[370] I do want to applaud the IOC for their statement.
[371] I was a little frustrated yesterday because there was kind of an absence of that statement.
[372] And you could have seen, if you were following the Olympics, you could have seen this story coming.
[373] This was something that people were talking about.
[374] You just didn't have the moment that I was genuinely fearing, which was, you know, a moment that could be aggregated.
[375] That was social media friendly.
[376] A fighter quits because she got punched in the face by someone that failed a gender test.
[377] You're just licking your chops if you're a bad faith aggregator.
[378] And also the thing about aggregation is you run, you put your graphic tile up on your social media accounts and you run with Logan Paul's initial thoughts.
[379] You don't post the apology.
[380] You don't post where he literally says, oopsie.
[381] I didn't even know he apologized.
[382] Yeah, he apologized.
[383] A lot of people got this wrong, But it's not about that.
[384] Then they want to have a discussion.
[385] Look, guys, we don't have all the answers.
[386] And I pride myself on someone that likes to have all the answers at all times.
[387] We are the first generation really tasked with formulating opinions on the fly with this stuff.
[388] You can miss the mark.
[389] You can pivot.
[390] You can change your mind on stuff.
[391] You could say, hold up, I don't have all the data.
[392] Presently, I'm of the mind.
[393] And this may shock you when it comes to combat sports.
[394] I think biologically, there are things in next.
[395] muscles and shoulder muscles that prepare you for taking a hit, I think that there are thresholds that should be followed there.
[396] When it comes to other sports, I'm still waiting on more data points, but also this really isn't as big of an issue as many suggest.
[397] Not a lot of people encounter this, and we should get back to good faith discourse, but I think the toothpaste is out of the bottle, and it's hard to go back right now.
[398] I need Juju's confirmation on this.
[399] For everybody who tweets something to the effect of protect our daughters when it comes to this subject, I want them to tweet every single time something happens where their daughter could be inspired by the Olympics, right?
[400] I want them to chime in on the good stuff and not this thing where they're only getting half the information because there's a lot of good stuff for our, you know, everybody's daughters here in the Olympics.
[401] You're going to focus on that where you have bad information.
[402] That's crazy.
[403] It's a, it's a great contribution.
[404] It was, I'm sure, you manage a social media accounts and everything was coming in Fast, Fast, Furious.
[405] and totally outsized, and it was depressing.
[406] There were some encouraging points in that there were some people that admitted that they got some things wrong.
[407] There were walkbacks, but people are convinced to this day.
[408] That's the way that social media works.
[409] They see something that already confirms their bias.
[410] They turn and walk away, and they don't want to acknowledge the truth of the matter.

[426] Don Libetard.
[427] Our Panther Group chat, we're kind of.
[428] confident against the lightning.
[429] This is a different team.
[430] You're a panther group chat, though.
[431] No, I think no, but dude, you're, you're so wrong on that.
[432] We've been terrified of this team forever.
[433] And I think there's a different energy where the Panthers, they want the lightning.
[434] Stugats.
[435] I want T -shirts made for this Panther run.
[436] What could be this Panther run?
[437] Our Panther group chat, we're not afraid of the lightning.
[438] That's a tagline for World RAR3.
[439] This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats.
[440] Today's episode is sponsored by draft king.
[441] Stay tuned because you'll hear more about draft kings and all it has to offer throughout the show.
[442] Draft Kings, the crown is yours.
[443] So I just had an experience here in the outside area, here, the common area that I feel like maybe Dan has a lot.
[444] But I just chuckled to myself because I saw on the whiteboard, I just saw a subject that said shower beers, and I didn't see anybody's name attached to it.
[445] And I immediately thought, oh, that's got to be a Chris Cody topic because, for two reasons.
[446] One, he's had a couple of shower -related anecdotes that are funny, but also I just thought he messed it up and he meant beer showers because we're talking Olympics and it so I just thought he inverted that and called them beer showers but we're actually talking about shower beers am I right Chris?
[447] Apparently, I mean this is a thing Mike was talking about before the show and he like you assumed that I was a regular and I've never done it.
[448] I've never had a beer in the shower and apparently it's magical.
[449] Is this like a dude thing that I'm just not familiar?
[450] It was born out of seeing all the Finnish players for the Panthers taking the Stanley Cup into a sauna.
[451] some of them were having beers and we naturally pivoted like Chris saw that and it was like that's kind of a weird place for a beer and we're like oh no you've never had a shower beer and he he was like the photo made it seem like Barcoff was like hey boys 9 p .m. tonight sauna you've never like done something after that's what they do in Finland sure they're all what they do it's a very Scandinavian concept like the sauna is huge air and it's starting to come over here with body temp and people seeing all the signs here scandinavia I don't wear the hat though The hat's very important.
[452] Scandinavians have been on it, but I imagine you've done something athletic and immediately after had a beer and that beer just hits different because of, you know, your pores are open, your blood is pumping.
[453] No, I've always thought of it as like a pregame thing.
[454] Like I'm getting ready to go out, so I'm going to have a beer while I shower and start getting ready to go out.
[455] I think that I could be wrong here, but I do think that the alcohol hits you a little bit more because you're, especially you're either deep.
[456] dehydrated or you're in the process of being dehydrated.
[457] So if you're less hydrated, alcohol hits you harder.
[458] So wait, is this like, I can be the only, guys, don't leave me on an island here.
[459] I think there's a hundreds of shower beers, but they're hundreds.
[460] This is a fairly easy car.
[461] Yeah, I've had a fairly easy car.
[462] I've been a fairly easy cause.
[463] You've never had a beer hit you harder because you've been more dehydrated?
[464] That's what I mean.
[465] Water particles.
[466] Yeah.
[467] It's a very refreshing type of beer.
[468] The shower beer's up.
[469] My dirty body water just ricocheting off me. Whoa, no one's telling you to put the can on the bottom of your tub while you're shower.
[470] The can goes up high on a shelf.
[471] I mean, you've been in the ocean with the can, right?
[472] You know how to hold it up.
[473] But Tony, hundreds of shower beers.
[474] I've been in the ocean of cans.
[475] Figure, all right, since I turn 21, figure you go out twice or three times a week for six years between college and a couple years out of college, you have a couple hundred shower beers.
[476] You start getting ready with that first Miller Light in the shower.
[477] Can you go do this math on the whiteboard outside?
[478] I would like to actually calculate how many shower beers are denied because they were like talk about some of your great experiences with Miller Light.
[479] And they're like when the shower beer take is a bit odd.
[480] But I like the shower beer.
[481] I'm not ripping it.
[482] I just have never done it.
[483] It's not like I'm letting the beer run off my chode.
[484] Like that's not how this goes.
[485] Like there's a there's a protocol to this.
[486] I'm not sure what body part that is.
[487] I used to not feel the whole beer after, got it, the beer after the athletic event or whatever, because I'm so like, I'm dehydrated, I don't want to get further dehydrated, and then I had my first beer after playing a basketball game.
[488] It's like, this definitely hits differently.
[489] It's super, like, I don't know, all those bubbles in your throat should totally different, right?
[490] But in the shower?
[491] Dude, you kind of skip the whole, like, athletic part of it, and you get all the benefits.
[492] Your pores are open because it's a hot shower.
[493] Yeah, it's hotter, you're more dehydrated.
[494] I'm telling you, it just, it just connects in different ways.
[495] Try a shower bong rip.
[496] Some shower meth.
[497] Shower meth.
[498] You really up the ante, sir.
[499] No, you don't drink where you shit, Mike.
[500] I mean, I don't shit in the shower, Roy.
[501] No, you shit in the room what a shower is.
[502] Like, maybe some other people shit in that room, but I've got a designated shitting toilet in my home and it's in my office.
[503] I'm with Roy.
[504] I've had a shit.
[505] You have?
[506] I've had a ship beer.
[507] Like, okay.
[508] Open minds, everybody.
[509] We're not judging.
[510] How is it?
[511] It's just nice.
[512] It's right here.
[513] You put it on the little counter right next to my toilet seat, sitting there, get my scroll on, pull a beer over.
[514] Make me a promise.
[515] Since we're not really judging here, you've never had one, why don't you try the experience.
[516] Try having a shower beer.
[517] I'll videotape it.
[518] Instagram Live it.
[519] I will.
[520] And then when you get out of the shower, Chris, and you haven't washed your calves or anything lower, you should dry yourself with a white towel and see how dirty you actually are.
[521] Jason Kelsey said that it's okay that I do that, by the way.
[522] I've seen the graphic on the internet about the places I get.
[523] Hot spots.
[524] Yeah, you have to take care of.
[525] Zagak.
[526] I got to tell you, like, if I do something super athletic, like play soccer or I'm getting sweaty, I give myself a full body scrub down.
[527] After golf, I'm scrubbing my ankles because I have dirt all over my legs.
[528] I'm just talking about a normal shower where I haven't really done much.
[529] I'm getting all the hot spots.
[530] I'm with you.
[531] Oh, God.
[532] I can't believe we're reaction.
[533] I'm telling you.
[534] I'm with him.
[535] I'm right on it.
[536] Will you by yourself?
[537] I will support you.
[538] No, in the argument, in the discussion.
[539] Because I will support you.
[540] I don't wash the back of my calves every time either.
[541] When you used to walk from here to the Bright Line station, there's construction everywhere, there's dust going through the air, you're walking with shorts through all of that.
[542] You go home.
[543] What if I have pants?
[544] I'm good.
[545] No, the pants are all right.
[546] I got pants right now.
[547] I'm not telling you right now, I'm not washing my kneecaps.
[548] I'm letting the water ticket's course.
[549] there.
[550] To America's people, I was taught one way to wash, and it's the thorough way.
[551] You did me. Do you moisturize when you're done showering?
[552] Are you moisturizing?
[553] Are you moisturizing dirty legs?
[554] I don't moisturize my legs.
[555] I moisturize my face.
[556] I get very dry after a shower.
[557] I get like eyebrow druff.
[558] That's a real hot spot, and I get a little druff on my mustache.
[559] So those are hot zones.
[560] I get a little aquifer on there, a little special moisturizer after that.
[561] I have these red cheeks.
[562] I have like a skin regimen.
[563] Can I just say skin regimen, like I have so much more respect for women who do this almost their entire lives, basically from the time they become an adult.
[564] Because ever since I've gotten into the whole skin regimen, it is a lot of work and a lot of money, mind you.
[565] But you mentioned the lotion on your legs, on your dirty legs, Jess.
[566] It has become my shower ritual.
[567] I get out of the shower and it's a combo stretch and put the lotion on because you put the leg completely parallel to the floor.
[568] You put the lotion on its skin.
[569] And then you do lotion, but you're also getting a good stretch in there.
[570] Oh, okay.
[571] So it's like, it's a two for one, especially in the one.
[572] You got to love the skincare industry that's like convinced women, hey, if you don't start your skincare regimen by the time you're 20, it's too late, which is not true, by the way.
[573] It's never too late.
[574] And I see 13 -year -olds at Sephora now trying to buy this like drunken elephant skin care stuff.
[575] and they're going crazy for it, and it's like $80.
[576] I have bad feet, and my wife recently purchased this thing that shaves off the dead skin off the bottom of her feet.
[577] And, wow, I had no idea.
[578] I had basically an ant -hill of dead skin on the bottom of my heel.
[579] It's pretty gross, but it made everything so much easier.
[580] And then I started moisturizing the bottom of my feet.
[581] The problem kind of went away.
[582] I just have to stay on top.
[583] Really?
[584] It's amazing.
[585] Wow.
[586] Were you aware of this?
[587] Life hack.
[588] Yeah.
[589] Wish your eyes and exfoliant.
[590] Boys, steal that from your wives.
[591] I'm telling you right now, especially if you got athletes' feet.
