Now's a good time to remember where the story of tequila started. In 1795, the first tequila distillery was opened by the Cuervo family. And 229 years later, Cuervo is still going strong. Family owned from the start. Same family, same land. Now's a good time to enjoy Cuervo.

I want to revisit the whole cookie situation here. The best Hall of Fame cookie in the world. I can't put, I don't have a name for it. Don't ask me. But it's in the Christmas bin. You open the tin and it's so many cookies. It's two of them. I don't know the name of them. It's only two of them. The best cookies ever made. It's not the most efficient. Right. But you can also reuse the tin, which is great. Like the shortbread cookies?
I'm not sure who they got born or their gender. They're just delicious. All right. What you have to do, Juju, is go ahead and search the tin you're talking about because I think they are in shape. They are the rectangular ones. You know, sir, me and you are here, sir. You just took me to Abuelita's house with this.
The problem with what you're saying, though, Juju, is that those cannot be better than just the generic chocolate chip cookie or the best made macadamia cookie. Correct? Like my favorite. Is this controversial to say? I prefer the macadamia nut cookie to the chocolate chip cookie. This has to be controversial. No, macadamia nut cookies with white chocolate chips, I assume. Delicious. However, very expensive. Macadamia nuts are not cheap. So your classic chocolate chip cookie is going to be a much easier bake.
Yes, it's a cost. You know, when it comes to eating dessert, I'll take 12. Money is no object. Your life hasn't been affected by the inflation of mac nuts, has it? I will insist that the kitchen go and bring me the truffle pig so that I can eat it first after it's gotten me the dessert. That's how I do it because I want it to be as decadent as possible. But I don't believe that we have mainstream food
opinions when Juju is citing as his Hall of Fame cookie the rectangular one from the Blue Grand Mountain and and and nothing's worse. So when you bite into a bad one of those like you're you have an open mind. Look at all these choices. Why is it green?
I have a really hot take. I might be the only person under the age of 60 who likes fruitcake, but you give me all of those nuts and fruits drenched in brandy and then baked into a cake. Oh, there is nothing better. Seems to be a theme here. It keeps coming up here. You'd love my mother's rum cake. I have seen people get drunk on it. I have seen, because she loads it up with so much rum. I got drunk on it.
You've had it. That's right. And it takes a minute to get Roy drunk. He's not a good drinker. He drinks too much. What are you talking about? You're not a good drinker. That's true. I do. When you drink, you drink to excess, and I don't think you know where excess is on the line before you've stepped over it. You are absolutely right, Dan. And when it comes to dessert beverages, the mudslide. Oh! Oh, yeah! So good. With a floater. Mmm. Mmm.
Do we have to pick a dessert that is in a compartment when we're talking about what it is that we're talking about here, Chris Cody? Because I don't think you can just say all ice cream. I think it's got to be a kind of ice cream. Sorbet has to be separated. Sorbet is not going to get – that's not a Hall of Fame dessert. It isn't? No, no, no.
It's not even representing poor man in French. It's not decadent. Limoncello flavored, perhaps? Put it on the poll, please, Juju. Is sorbet a Hall of Fame dessert? I think it's too healthy. It's not decadent enough. You're like a step away from just saying Jack Daniels. It's not rich enough. Tony is back now. Has the lunch crowd now changed over at...
The lunch crowd has changed over at Arbetters. He is having a hot dog. How are the hot dogs there? Hall of Fame hot dogs, Tony? Hall of Fame hot dogs, Dano. Having a nice little just regular ketchup and mustard on the dog. Cleared out a little bit. I don't know if the workers want to name a Miami Marlin, but I'm here enjoying the hot dogs, Dan. We can wait for more people, but... Ernie, can you name me a current Miami Marlin? Cannot. Cannot. Cannot.
Guys, a current Miami Marlin back there? Anybody? For $20? Yeah, Jash just got traded. He knows, okay? Can you name me a Miami Marlin? Start naming other ones. Josh Beckett's not still there. Dave Magadan. Alex Arias. They're pointing at something over there, but I don't think so.
Here we go. Let's see. What are we pointing at, boys? All right. Nick Gordon. Nick Gordon. Is he a current Miami Marlin? Yes, he is. I think we have a Marlin. Wait. Was he moved at the deal? We had him. He's on the website. He named a Marlin. Yes. We did it.
Show yourself. Where is he? Show yourself, Nick Gordon. The Gornack guy. Yes. He's wearing an A's hat. Yes. Hold on. Say it again. I'm a Phillies fan. I like Bryce Harper. That's the goat. Okay. Bryce Harper, the goat. And we got to take with it, too. There you go. All right. But give him the $20 and then also ask him if he can name any other Marlins. Can he name any others? I paid for the hot dog with the $20. So I can't give him the money.
All right, Tony, get out of here. We've got a couple other hot dogs, too. It's like $19.95. All right, we'll come back to you. Is that it? You're out of money? All right, good talking to you. See you later. Yeah, I'm out of money. We're kind of out of people. All right, thank you. Somebody's shouting from the kitchen. Nick Gordon. You guys aren't made... And no one knowing in here if he was a Marlon.
Can I hear from Drunk Roy at the Stanley Cup, please? I would like to hear Roy out in the field as an example of Roy not being able to hold his liquor or knowing where the line is on excess. All right, we have made it from Amerenbeck Arena to the field, which is a couple blocks down. You know, the funny thing about that is I started drinking after that.
We are made it. Roy. We are made it t-shirts coming soon. Levitardaf.com. All right, we have made it from Amerenbeck Arena to the infield, which is a couple blocks down. Couple blocks down. You're claiming that you had not had anything to drink there yet? Correct.
All right, we have made it from Amerenbeck Arena to the infield, which is a couple blocks down. I was high on life, dude. We had to win a Stanley Cup. I don't know. All right, man. Really? Yes, really. You didn't have anything at the arena? No. A couple blocks down. Let me hear the start one more time. All right, we have made it from Amerenbeck Arena to the infield, which is a couple blocks down. We have made it to the infield. We are made it, brother. No, it's half. I said half.
I'm team Roy. Speaking of Roy, he mentioned pies. I made a bourbon pecan pie once that was out of this world. What is better, the pecan pie or the key lime pie? Because I'm a sucker for the pecan pie.
Now we're talking. These are some good pies. That is a really, really good pie. I won't choose. Tough choice. All right, look, I've thrown a lot at the- What's the penalty for not choosing? I've thrown a lot at you guys and the audience. So I make you guys make a list of both top five cakes and pies. And let's throw ice cream in there as well. I can name a cake. If I say to you, ice cream flavors, cakes-
and let's make our own top five lists. I want to take a break here. I want to take a break and gather ourselves. Is it types of cake or cakes made by a specific vendor? I am...
I'm already telling you that the ice cream cake for me is going on there, and you just heard me on love of the pecan pie. You've got a lot of options here on what it is you can do with cakes or pies, but what do you mean by the vendor? Because Publix cake is my favorite dessert. But no. Or like a DQ ice cream cake. Those are very, very popular. I thought this was America, Jack. I'm just saying what my favorite dessert is. A
Publix cake. I don't like to be met with no. That doesn't make me feel good. Publix is only in Florida, correct? It's creeped up in the southeast. We got some Publix in A-Town. I mean, we reference PubSubs all the time. We're not throwing flags on that plate. Does the Publix cake have a layer of boar's head ham and cheese on top of it? How does this differentiate itself from other cakes? So you've never actually had a Publix cake? They make really good cakes, dude. It's my favorite type of cake. Chicken tender on top?
The reason that I say you can't pick that is that's like picking an Entenmann's cake. You're picking almost a... I would go like Rich Frosted Chocolate Donuts if I'm going anywhere from Entenmann's. But you're picking a brand instead of a type of cake. The heart wants what it wants. Okay. Louisiana Crunch Cake. And it's got like...
One that's been in the fridge. I got my top five. All right. Well, I need time to gather myself. And I know you got it very quickly. This is a strength of yours. What is the criteria? So we're each ranking? Top five for you. Top five cakes. Top five pies. Vita Gara. And top five ice cream.
One list. It's one list. You're not doing it. The way you made it sound is we're making a top five of cakes, cookies, and this. No, it's our top five. It can include any of those things. That is how I was doing it. I was making three lists. Oh. Oh. Wow, that's a lot of work. I'm not playing that way. What's a penalty again if we don't choose?

So when I got up there,
I had to say something, and I said it. Cheaters never prosper. Stugatz. My buddy was saying, not today. Not today. I think that was what he was adding. Yeah, that's so much better. I'm telling you, the response I got from this guy, what I said was amazing. He got him. Cheaters never prosper. This guy yelled as angry as he could. I ain't cheating. This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz.
That's right. It's time for Thursday Thunder. It's brought to you by DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear more about what DraftKings has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Jujugati, what do we got? We are back yet again, ladies and gentlemen, and I would like to make a sincere apology for everyone who has bet with me the last couple of weeks. We have had some heartbreakers, some two for threes with one missing. Oh, my God. It hurts me so bad.
reach out to me in the DM. I got your gifts. Just reach out. If you prove that you lost, reach out to me in the DM and I got you 100%. Juju, you do not have to care that way. Yes, I do. It's not necessary for you to care so much that if you lose them money with your
expertise which has been very good you have poured yourself into these and your picks have been good three team parlays uh three leg parlays are hard to win and you should not be offering the people a refund of any kind in the gift variety i should not but my mama raised a great boy salute to my mommy i love you so much we reach out to me with proof of loss and i got your back our first leg for this week we're taking shakari richardson in 100 meter to win because
I'm just in the spirit. We had Michael Johnson on earlier and I got in the spirit. I think this sister is going to blaze a trail through Paris Saturday morning. You dig me?
No thoughts on that. I'm looking forward to her grabbing redemption after what her last few years have felt like. I'm obviously rooting. These are two of the biggest stars. Lyles and Richardson are two of the biggest stars we have in American Olympic sports. Yes, sir. And I'm glad you said that because I'm going also with Noah Lyles in the 100 meters for the USA men's this weekend. He's a minus 120. I'm riding with Noah Lyles, man.
Got to know. Do you guys like the sprinting as much as I do? Because I do feel that there are many people who watch the Olympics for just the gymnastics and the sprinting, that they don't have much interest in anything else. I like the relay when they pass the baton. Yeah.
I found that I like everything. Right. Everything you can bet on. It's not just that, although that is an aspect of it, but the coverage is better today than it has ever been in my lifetime. And I'm pretty much understanding and gaining an appreciation for pretty much everything outside of fencing. F*** that sport. I like the air pistol, I think, where the girl, just the dead eye she had, and buddy from the Turkish guy. Oh, Turkish guy. Turkish guy was great. Yeah.
Let's get through this, but I do want to get to that story because there was a 51-year-old Turkish dude who went out there, casual as hell, didn't have any of the equipment, put his hand in his pocket and won the silver medal.
Salute to that brother. My brother, indeed. Last leg. We're going with Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico. They're going against the USA. They got 32.5 plus in the hole. I do not think team, I love team USA, but we all know that with JJ Barea lurking, LeBron James isn't the same guy. He's lurking. He's going to be watching this game, so I don't think they're going to win by 32 and a half points.
points. Wait a minute. It seems like what we've got up here on the screen is 33 now. It might have gone up to 33. It went up to 33? Yes, according to DraftKings. Plus 33, Puerto Rico. I believe in Puerto Rico more than that, dog. They're going to keep this thing at least closer than 33 points. Trust me. Don't trust me. You dig me.
I am always scared of the plus 33s when I'm betting against that kind of favorite. Do you do many bets like that, Mike, where you're betting on football Saturdays? Anybody who is plus 33, especially the plus 33s.
Plus 50s and that stuff, I can never take the plus side on that. That's a great backdoor opportunity. What I'm doing right now is I've recently been hot, and if you super follow, you probably know this. So I've been doing privately, because I like to stash winnings, closing parlays with college football games several weeks from now. So when that Coco Gauff Fritz doubles comes in, it is ridiculous.
fully hanging on rice to just win their game against Sam Houston State in a couple of weeks. It makes for some truly bizarre parlays. Doesn't football start tonight? Yes. In fact, I don't think there's going to be another Thursday without football until we reach February. Today is the Hall of Fame game, which used to matter in this country. We are back.
And I think it still matters. It's going to be interesting, though, with Olympic competition because that's probably going to be the re-air of the all-around individual gymnastics, which for me is the signature Olympic event. Speaking of football, before we get back to desserts, what happened with Robert Sala and Aaron Rodgers? Aaron Rodgers had...
what he is telling kate adams is an overblown thing with garrett wilson they were fooling around talking on the sidelines you zigged when you were supposed to zag and then garrett wilson says well you were supposed to be here you weren't supposed to be on vacation in egypt is that true i because i saw that on the internet too and i thought like no this is i can't fall for this i want it to be this but i don't know it doesn't matter it was it whatever it was was silly but uh
This, I think, is slightly less silly. This seems confusing to me. If I'm a Jets fan and I'm hearing this, I find it confusing. Where do you stand on playing in the preseason? Yeah, I mean, that's Robert's decision. I've never told him I don't want to play in the preseason. There's a lot of thoughts about whether there's any particular gain from it.
We used to play all the time. It wasn't even a question. We played 10 to 15 in the first one and quarter and a half in the second one and the third quarter in the third one. And then sometimes Tennessee would always play their guys, shoot sometimes through the third quarter. We would play maybe a series or two. Now nobody wants to play. They don't want to play their guys. It's different.
To combat that, now we're doing all these practices with other teams, so we have three of those. I'm assuming those will be like our super heavy days, and then it'll be like the preseason for us. If he decides he wants me to play against the Giants, I'll strap it up and look forward to that. Just a quick follow there. Is the decision different this time because of the injury? No, I don't think so. No, I don't have any restrictions. I'm doing keepers, rollouts, so...
It was news to me yesterday when he said I wasn't going to play in the first two. Eric sent me that. Thank you. But we hadn't even had a conversation yet about that.
Doesn't that strike you as weird? Right. News to me. News to me. Eric sent me that. Thank you. It seems pointed at Robert Sala. They have something going on. Of course, if they come out winning 5-1, nobody would care. But if they start off 0-2, they're going to point right to this stuff right here and cause some turmoil in the locker room drama.
One of the things that I find so interesting about everything happening with the Jets and the power that Aaron Rodgers realizes that he now has over a franchise that's obvious to everybody is that...
If you're not Mike McDaniel, who acts as he is a bit of an assistant to the player, he is trying to be someone who is an ally, who is helping the player be his best self. It doesn't mean that you're soft, but he's not interested in running the franchise the way that buries players or proves to them that he's in charge.
If I'm Robert Sala and this is my season to keep my job, a job I've wanted all my life, a job I didn't know I was going to get. And now my quarterback says, yeah, fine, man, I'm going to Egypt. And I'm like, I want to be in control of this, but my quarterback keeps showing everyone I'm not in control of this. You know how I'm going to show him? I'm not going to tell him he's not playing in the preseason. It's going to be news to him and he's going to get it in a press conference. I'm like,
That's the Jets' jetsing and their best hope, and this is the problem with the Jets' jetsing, they know full well that their best hope is Aaron Rodgers being what Aaron Rodgers used to be, and you almost have to tolerate anything once that's the place that you find yourself in, which is last place. You have to tolerate Aaron Rodgers being maximum what Aaron Rodgers is right now,
Which is every time he's in front of a microphone, there's going to be something like that that makes an appearance, which is it runs counter to everything I've ever seen from the quarterback position in that sport. You do not bring headlines to your huddle. You lie your way through whatever that is, and then you go talk to your coach afterward and are like, why would you do that?
As much as I want to make fun of this lack of communication, it reminds me a lot of a Monday when we come into work and all of a sudden Stu Gatz is in here. And we're like, where's Stu?
The way he was like, I learned this from Eric over here. I'm like, Taylor told me that Stugatz isn't going to be here. We're not competing against Belichick's Patriots in this space. We can win doing that in this stupid space. Robert Sala's not going to get another job because of what's happening here with Aaron Rodgers. Neither is Stugatz. He might not last the season because of...
Their whole thing is, can Aaron Rodgers please be Aaron Rodgers from five years ago? That's the whole plan.
And when you rely on someone like that from this level of desperation, I really don't know how Robert Sala convinces anyone in that locker room that he's in charge, which is not unlike our situation. Because I don't know how I convince any of you when I'm asking for gas bag of the week to get it for me on the 12th ask when you're like, well, I'm showing up. Stugatz isn't here on a Thursday. Right.
Are you ready for your dessert list? Is everyone here ready with their dessert list? You've had enough time. I'm only doing one, though. I don't know what game you want to play. Okay, one list. You badgered me out of it. It's because I'm not in control. You're Aaron Rodgers, and I'm Robert Sala. Wait a second. Now I have to narrow mine down to five? What if I have five and ten OLIs? You can do it that way if you want. Mike, what are you going to do?
I'm going totally off the board because initially there were three lists, so we had 15 options, and then you add the OLIs. I didn't want to contribute to what could have been a little messy, so I'm just doing something totally different with mine, and that's just desserts that I saw on TV or the movies that I wanted to eat. Just what Dan asked for. Okay, yes. I've got no control over anything. I'm going first. That's what I'm doing. I'm going to go. In my defense, I ask for permission politely. I'm going to go. Kind of like asking to go to Egypt. Yeah.
Yes, the same way. I got all three lists ready for you. Ah, look at Roy. Thank you, Roy. You got it. I'm going to make my list, and then I'm going to leave in disgust because you guys are absolutely not a group that can be controlled. Number five, tres leches. Number four, cuatro leches. Number three, cinco leches. Comedy. Number two, flan. Flan.
And number one, ice cream cake. Nice. That's very good. I got my top five cakes as well. I'm going to go chocolate cake. I'm going to go red velvet cake. I'm going to go lemon cake. I'm going to go hostess sweet rolls. And I'm going to go zebra cake for the win.
That brings me back. Zebra cakes? Lemon cake was sneaky in there. Super sugary. Roy? All right. I got Louisiana crunch cake. Angel food cake. That white cake? Pineapple upside down cake. Vanilla cake. And lemon cake. Vanilla cake? Yeah. Are all of you with that? No, not even a centimeter.
Why? A salute to my brother. Does it have frosting on it? What is vanilla cake? It has vanilla frosting on top of it like lemon cake has lemon frosting. Is that what they had in Django tonight? We're having white cake. That's, no. He workshopped that one too. Yeah, he thought about that one.
What's your list look like, Chris Cody? It's a beautiful thing. Number five. This is just my top five desserts. Apple pie a la mode. No ice cream and pie. Number four. Should be against the rules. A double chocolate cookie. Number three. A chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream. You're cheating. Number two. Ice cream cake. Put Dan on that.
And then chocolate ice cream, number one. Really? With cake on top. With M&M's and cake and...
Oh, I should have put in the Dairy Queen Blizzard. No, that was on my ice cream list. You just stole it, bro. Oh, no. I'm sorry. I didn't know you had another list. Let's do your ice cream list right now. Every time they flip that thing upside down, I'm just like, wow. Number five, Neapolitan. What? Cheater. Snickers ice cream candy bar.
McDonald's Oreo McFlurry. On the Neapolitan, when you get the box of Neapolitan ice cream, what's the ice cream that's last? Chocolate. Really? Every time, yeah. I go from side to side with that thing. One scoop, I'm getting all three flavors. Wow. I would always pick around because I never like the strawberry ice cream. Oh! Right. Vanilla! Vanilla!
And Dan Stowe, the number one Dairy Queen. I'm sorry. Which Blizzard? Is there a particular Blizzard? The Oreo Blizzard. I also have ice cream. Do you? Yes, I do. Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Vanilla. Sea Salt Caramel.
An Oreo. This show's sudden obsession with vanilla makes it feel like Stan Van Gundy, old flavorless Stan Van Gundy is making the picks around here. Salt chips! Well, it has to have the vanilla beans in there.
Where are you, Jessica, on this right now? Your list is complete now? I filibustered as long as I can as you get 15 of them together. The cakes. I can do my top five cakes. OLIs? No OLIs. All right. So you're getting right. I feel like Jessica took more care with this than the rest of us. It was very meticulous. Well, it just seems like she had, it seems like she was very indecisive about how to get it down to five. Uh,
I actually only have four. See? Wow. She is our foremost authority on desserts, given her core culinary discipline. Why don't you have a fifth one? Just didn't have time? The list has a very high standard. Can I add an OLI to yours just to throw in there as your brother? Let me do my top four. Wow. She just shoved you out of the box. You went flying. Number four.
The Green M&M. Number three, Onion from the Teenage Guardian Hot Dog Race. Sorry, I stepped on that. Number two, Big Red. Number one, Mrs. Matt. JoJo, what was your OLI? Cinnamon Graham Crackers. Delicious.
I'm watching the summer games and I can tell you that with all the blood, sweat, and tears that these athletes lose during competition, they need all the hydration that they can get. I also know that the weekend warriors like myself need to have the electrolytes that Liquid IV can provide.

Don Levitard. Where the mother f***er Roiz at? Bring his ass on here. Where's the mother f***er Roiz is a great question. Stugatz. Running, huh? He running today, huh? I'm ready. This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stugatz. We'll get to Mike Ryan's rebellious, anarchy-filled dessert list in a second. I know all of you felt like you had really missed out in the last segment because you didn't get Mike's dessert.
Exclusively movie desserts. So we will do that in a moment. Let's do our pie. I don't know that I want to go to any more of your vanilla pies. Vanilla pie? It's vanilla bean pie. Damn it. God damn it. I don't think I want your pies. I don't like your lists. You'll like this one, though.
I can do top five creams. I did like your list. How long is that impersonation? What about mine, man? You want mine? Joe Biden's creams? He f***ing loves ice cream, by the way. I have a sticker on my phone of him eating ice cream that I probably use like four times a day because it's always time to just see Joe Biden taking a big bite of an ice cream cone. Who said apple pie?
I like that one. Everybody. I feel like there's a, sorry, dad, there's a picture of him holding a blizzard upside down too. That went viral ones. Oh, that shit is great. I feel like everybody likes ice cream. Doesn't everybody like ice cream? Of course. Before we get to that though, I wanted to ask you guys off of the changing way that people have to be coached in football, because I think it feels that you can't have a much larger statement about
that the way coaching in football is being received by a generation of players has had to have changed substantively if Bill Belichick can't get a coaching job. If Bill Belichick has to interview multiple times in Atlanta to not get the Falcons job because something has changed in the sport that isn't just about his personnel decisions and is about a style of coaching...
that we just saw the Dolphins change the way their leadership works. One of them was a Patriot disciple and then someone softer comes in and what you get from the quarterback position is much different than what you got from Flores. If all of this is changing in the AFC East where McDaniel's got one kind of coaching style, Salah is having his undone by a quarterback who's too powerful for the coach,
At the top of that division for 20 years was a coach and a quarterback who fought for power, but Belichick always had it. And at the end, Brady left because he didn't have any more time for it. Belichick is now out of work and in the media game.
And he just signed a deal, I don't know if you guys saw this, with Underdog Fantasy, where he is creating and co-producing a show where he's going to be breaking down film and doing whatever it is creatively and co-production-wise that Belichick wants to get into. And I'm really surprised...
I don't know if this is something that has been covered in a way that's sufficient to me, that feels sufficient to me. I'm really surprised that what is by consensus believed to be the greatest coach in that sports history and one of the greatest coaches of all time, that he has to settle for media work because of however it is that the game has to be coached now that can't include him because he's
In the accruing of power, so Aaron Rodgers accrues power, Tom Brady accrues power, and you see what it manifests. Bill Belichick accrued power, and now nobody wants to give it to him.
Nobody wants to give it to him to run a team the way that he wants to, and nobody wants to give it to him to select coaches that have failed when they get away from Belichick, and nobody wants to give it to him for personnel power. So to me, that feels like a pretty seismic change, not just in that division, but in that sport and in sports in general, that Bill Belichick is sitting here taking a bunch of media jobs that he's going to leave midway through the season when Jerry Jones calls him.
For me, it's the sheer volume of things that he's doing that is surprising. That is a really loaded slate. There is a lot of commitments there. And I guess rather than you would think after a run that he had and after the job market kind of shut its door on him, he'd maybe take the opportunity to go away. But I think he's going to do a lot more.
to improve people's perception of him because all we know of him is that he's a cremosian and we're on to Cincinnati. So I think if he comes off charming, as he's capable of doing often...
in some of these. I mean, for him. Charming for him, I should say. I think he'll get his name right back in the mix with these openings and he sees the value in using the media to leverage that, their platforms, and make himself more likable and therefore more hireable. We know that Bill Belichick was a big special teams guy, admirer. How disappointed
Do you think he is that he doesn't get to find loopholes in this new NFL kickoff rule and exploit it for his own team's gain? Because I have a feeling he wishes he were in the huddle right now telling them how to do this. He is spending an inordinate amount of time in media jobs because I would imagine that he has been working 17 hour days in football for the last 30 years.
They mentioned the new rules. I just am so... Is anyone else rooting against the new kickoff rule? Which rule? Yeah, I'm rooting against the onside rule, no doubt, because I like the surprise onside kick and being able to armchair quarterback that one. I like the new kickoff rule in that it was the old XFL kickoff rule that the UFL did away with. I love the XFL kickoff rule. I want there to be like 14 returns for touchdowns the first week and then have to change the rule.
This is not what we wanted. We're changing back. They want more returns. Yeah, but they don't want the game to be changed where there's a crazy amount of touchdowns. I was overhearing that they've been working Tyreek Hill on returns now. Does that mean
What does that mean? There was a record low 22% of kickoffs that were returned last year. I'm surprised it's that high. They're estimating that with the new rule, it could be between 50% and 60%. Instead of it just being a thing where most teams are like, okay, we're not returning this. This is not worth it. They're hoping that this actually creates some sort of playmaking.
Are you ready for your top five movie desserts, Mike? I don't even know what the hell this is. Movie desserts. It's desserts that you've seen on the silver screen or the TV that you've been like, hmm, I want that. Number five. Have you had any of them? Oh, you're going to agree with this list. Number five. Homer Simpson's favorite pink donut. With the sprinkles. Number four.
The Pie from Mrs. Doubtfire. Number three. And there is actually a tie between these two films and it's the actress Mara Wilson. The Chocolate Cake from Matilda. Wow, that's a great one.
Thank you. So good. Was it a Black Forest cake? What was that kid's name? He's just like sitting there and eating the whole thing. It's a chocolate cake, right? He had cake all over his face, the fat kid. Number two, the cake from Steven Seagal's Under Siege. And number one...
The dessert from Hook. Pinks and fuchsias and teals and blues and it's just creams everywhere and they're throwing it in each other's faces and I just want to taste. That food fight changed me. I like it. What about my pies? Oh, we'll lie. The cupcakes from Major Payne that
Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank you for your support on my crazy little wacky list. Matilda cake, I never would have thought of. Were there any desserts in Twisters? I saw it last weekend. I don't think there were. Dude, you know that, you saw Twisters. The jerk? That's Superman now. Glenn Powell? No, no, no. Glenn Powell's not a jerk. I know, he's handsome. Super likable, but the guy that's kind of like the bad guy with the dude from Hamilton. Oh, okay. Yeah, that guy's got to play Superman. Really? Yeah. Huh.
Oh, O-L-I, the warm apple pie and apple, an American pie. After or? So close. You were so close to saying that. A lot of A's. A lot of A words there. A lot of A words there. All right, Roe. Are you ready for your top five? I am. Yes. Blueberry. Cranberry. Bourbon pecan. Pumpkin. Sweet potato. Apple. Apple.
Jessica, what are you eating? Halloumi. Do you have the Stephen A. Smith blueberries there? Because I've got to get this soundboard a little more updated because anytime I've been waiting for several months for somebody to say the word blueberries. You've been hovering over the button? Well, no, I thought it was on here. Blueberries! Good news. If you ever have to put a town on an alert, there's a sound for that. Blueberries!
Put the town on alert. Your lists, Roy. Oh, delicious. Blueberries. A lot has changed over the years, audience. As you've been so kind in pointing out, my shirt size has changed over the years. Look, I started this show as a 19-year-old boy, and now I'm a 38-year-old dad, but
