Have a day, the internet. Oh, what a day for everyone yesterday. It was spectacular and sad to see. We will get into that in a moment, but I don't want to miss the mark.

We need to talk about Simone Biles. Please. And that incredible achievement from one of our nation's greatest athletes. What a display yesterday. Really warmed 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. And I would say cement her legacy, but for me it was already cemented. It really meant the world to me to see. And we need to give Simone Biles her flowers. Before we start doing that, before we start celebrating, and hello everyone. Hello Juju, Chris, Jess, Tony, Roy. Hey, Izzy. Hey, Izzy.

I want to know how you guys experienced that. 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. And I thought I was nervous then. Holy cow.

Was I losing it? 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. Don't you dare shake a little bit. Don't you dare have a jump scare. And imagine having a jump scare and then trying to remember the very next thing you're supposed to do. I was losing.

You're not better than me for watching it live. You said that very dismissively. I just wanted to put the picture because it was three in the afternoon. I also watched it live. 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. I thought.

the Brazilian gymnast who came in second that got the silver medal, Rebecca Andrade, 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. So even if she steps out or kind of flubs some of the landing, she'll be fine. No, she had to like really go in there with all the pressure on her. So it was actually like

phenomenal television. And so I watched it live too, Izzy, on my way home from work. And then I watched the re-air on primetime later because I was like, I just got to do this again. It was kind of like, we felt this locally with the Panthers, that the Panthers would have a big game and you'd want to see all the highlights on your phone. I kind of felt that a little bit last night. And yeah, even in the all-around team final,

She has this weird ability because she always qualifies so well, she's always going last.

and no one has to deal with that same sort of pressure. So in the team, when you have all these, generally you have all these other rotations going on, nothing else was going on, all eyes were on her, and it made something where she just had to play it safe, it made it a little bit more pressure-filled. And yesterday we saw a moment that I was a little conflicted on. Understanding that what she went through at the last Olympics was,

I kind of talk out of both sides of my mouth on this one because I want to see her shut people up. I want to see her overcome all that adversity. I want her to overcome all that pressure. And anybody that had anything to say the last go-round has to shut up because she delivered in that moment. But also...

I don't want her to encounter these triggers. I don't want her to be going through that inner battle, the mental aspects of the game. And thank God she overcame everything and delivered. It was a great moment, one of the all-time Olympic moments ever.

I think. 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. 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. But I do think that

There's an underdog story in that she wasn't necessarily chasing other gymnasts, though they brought it. She was also chasing what was going on in her own head and having to overcome that. And I think that's a story that resonates with everybody. Well, to me, it was the perfect test. Like Jess said, not only did Andrade put the pressure on her, but she also had a mistake. So then it was, oh, OK, I need to take advantage of the fact that my difficulty is higher than everybody else's down the stretch in these last two events. And so I just need to be solid.

But when you watched her come off the beam, I've never seen her more nervous. That was after she finished. And so I'm like, wow, she was nervous as all get out there. And that's part of the humanizing thing that I'd mentioned, you know, watching the Netflix doc. I was like, wow, I thought she was this perfect athletic robot. But here she actually has feelings. And so I was wondering, going into that floor, would those nerves spill over?

That's twice this week you've used as all get out. That's a very old saying. As hell. He doesn't want to use H-E double hockey. As hell. As heck. I'm unfamiliar with the gamesmanship of gymnastics because during Andrade's beam, she was being cheered on by Simone Biles. Like, is this Simone? Like, like...

Like, hey, you hear me cheering for you? You think it's nefarious? No, no, I'm just saying gamesmanship. I am trying to build up this pressure right now. But where do you guys stand on that? Because 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. Yes, where they were like, you got this?

Get the rhythm. You're good. You're in rhythm. On the pommel horse, I was like, oh my God. I would be like, Dad, shut up. Stop yelling. And the broadcaster was calling attention to it. You can hear Simone cheering her on. 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... Yeah, they know each other. They've competed against each other a number of times. So I think it was like a genuine, like, supportive, like, you got this. But a little also, like...

I'm here. I'm Simone Biles, and I'm cheering for you at the biggest moment of your life. I don't know. It just felt like a little bit of game. The optics are good of it. It's a good look. I don't think that that was her intention. By all accounts, their relationship is a genuine one. But you know she's not really rooting for her in that spot. She wants her to fall, though, secretly. That's me not having enough connection points to the sport itself because I don't watch it often enough. I doubt that she wants her to fall. I think she just wants to do...

everything better it doesn't necessarily you're not like necessarily rooting for someone to fail because like we said like her difficulty level and everything is so much higher that the other opponents can do their routines perfectly and Simone Biles can still win 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 but generally I'm following this year to year and I don't know what that means and

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...

just kind of following it year to year. 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. I watched a video of Suni Lee, I think she was maybe six or seven, on a homemade balance beam doing backflips, and man, would I be a proud parent if my kid was doing that at that age. I'd be like, I'm done. I'm done. Hey, give it up for Suni Lee, by the way. Bronze medal after her health scares, everything she had to give up gymnastics for a little bit.

She went to Auburn. That must have sucked. Oh, wow. What am I doing? She did an amazing job closing that thing out on the floor routine, getting the bronze medal. What a day. Yeah. I told you USA. Great moment. On the bars, she showed her guts. Like, she's just such a gamer. And, like, to come out in that battle for third, and it was who's going to be the cleanest. And you see her on floor, and there was no question she was going to be the best of those three. She just had it. And that was...

So much fun to watch the two of them go out there with that flag. And going back to Simone, just real quick, right before she was gonna get on the floor, I was actually doing affirmations for her. I was saying, "I've been here a million times. "You've done this before. "You've been the last floor exercise of a meeting." - Just be Simone. - Just be Simone. And I was like, you know what?

This is crazy. Like, I am not seven years old anymore. I was a big fan of what she's done with her platform in the lead up to it. Her post afterwards, once again, becoming a really leaning into mental health advocacy. I think she's going to be an icon. She already is an American athletic icon. 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 of her international career. We'll see. Maybe she might want to rise to the challenge of Los Angeles. We are seeing advancements in medicine. 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. So we're seeing new things in that sport.

maybe she rises to the challenge she doesn't have anything else to prove but now she can just be an advocate with this platform and she is one hell of a role model and i was just so damn proud of her they still have the individual events finals and i think she's in a few of them it's kind of weird how we do this right i i i remember 96 and like the team the

the team medal was like the big deal there. And the iconic moments came from the team final there. It is kind of weird that we break this off. It kind of feels like the bigger events start everything. And then we just go to individual competitions where specialists have their moment. I think it would mean more. This is me telling the Olympics how to do their job.

I think it means more if you have an already silver medal winning balance beam gymnast in the team competition because you have that to attribute to that gymnast and it just helps with the narrative. - I think it goes that way because if you're injured,

then you hurt your team. So you start off with a team and then you go with the more important one, which is the all around. Hey, least important ones are the individuals. And if forever, whatever reason you're hurt or whatever, you can pull out of those. Not the worst. Makes sense. And is better logic than just mine of wanting better storytelling and therefore more drama. Your hat's cracking me up, by the way, because 90% of the time, and this reminds me of a meme I saw 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. Well, this is a, so I got IG targeted by New Era Caps and it's a big IG target for like the Rob Lowe Patriots because this is a basketball hat.

I got a three-pack. I have an Olympic tennis hat, I have an Olympic soccer hat, and I have an Olympic basketball hat. So that's... And they're all different sizes. Like, tennis is a dad cap. The soccer is more like your trucker style. And then this is your, you know, flat brim, new era snapback. So thank you for noticing the hat. And I'm very patriotic and, like...

as we saw with some of the discourse, I've talked about wanting to get a US flag, but I'm worried about what people might think of me, and probably I'm worried about that too much because-- - So you're worried about what people think of you being patriotic? - Right, because, well, one party 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. So Democrats can't have an American flag in front of their house? That's kind of like the feeling, even though I do have, especially during Fourth of July, I do, I love this country. I love what it aspires to.

I, this might be naive, but I think what we're experiencing now in this timeline can be attributed to growing pains. It was pretty bad in the 60s. Like people fight progress and they've never had to fight progress with the internet.

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. I fear that our divisions will only grow stronger.

But you're gonna write on this on the flat. Yeah, I wish this had said all those things So what does that have to do with a flag in front of your house? So what it means and I appreciate you challenging me on Writing on it if you want one put one up who cares like people gonna drive by me like oh he's Republican Yeah, well, yeah, does that matter to you somewhat? It's

Especially after yesterday. Only when it's on a truck do I think that. At a house, I'm always like, you're good. That house is Republican. No, at a house, I don't think it. If it's a gray flag, I already know. If there's truck testicles and it's like a pole from the back of the bed, that's when I'm like, okay. Oh yeah, they definitely voted for Trump. They're on their way to a Luke Combs concert. 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. Those are my favorites. Yeah, it depends on... It usually starts with blue, I think. It depends on the stripes. There's a whole lot of things. But look...

I understand. And your perspective on this is the right one. I love my country. I love being American. I love our freedoms all around. And I think that that should be focused on, too. Except for the Internet, you're saying. Freedom to be you. Well, I do think that there need to be checks and balances. And I think it's OK to admit that you're wrong.

Stugatz. Running, huh? He running today, huh? I'm ready. This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stugatz.

I wanted to talk about some other things, but yesterday was a day for the internet. And I listened back to the postgame, 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 at...

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. So Izzy, we have not gotten your thoughts on it. We got my thoughts on it yesterday. I'm curious how you experienced yesterday. So we're talking about the two fighters that a lot of whatever you want to call it, certain media members

are saying are flat out saying are men or flat out saying are transgender which there is no evidence that either of these women were born anything other than women and the only thing that we're discussing here is elevated levels of testosterone and so to me

And, you know, you want to talk about the two governing bodies, whether it be the boxing governing body and how they're not in charge currently. Well, there's a lot of corruption in that organization and separating itself from the IOC, separating itself from that, I find totally fair. I also, obviously, they have different sets of rules. And in this situation, what is happening is people jumping all over the gender conversation. And this is not a transgender topic. And you see all the people that are jumping on it. This is

This former swimmer named Riley Gaines from Kentucky who has only continued to be famous because of this topic. 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,

uh... into all this kind of you know right wing discussion and turning this into a transgender conversation saying a man is going to kill a woman in the rain when she's a swimmer i don't know what she knows about boxing or combat sports and it's all just become so typical of what all of these conversations become 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. It bothers me that that is the case. It bothers me when people jump in and have these discussions without any sort of information, 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. They don't seem like good faith discussions, especially when you check somebody on it.

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 you're establishing a protocol for intersex combat sports competition it should be noted that these two fighters yes there are two fighters that have this surrounding them but the uh

The internet sees on one moment where an Italian fighter who's quit before in a fight, by the way, it's not the first time this Italian fighter has done this. They seized on this one moment. These two fighters that have these failed gender tests around them have competed in the Olympics before this Algerian fighter. And I want to underscore Algeria because of what the LGBTQ community goes through there. It is illegal. It is illegal to be a transgender in Algeria.

They are borderline Sharia. They don't come out and say it, but their policy is borderline Sharia law. 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. They had passed all the tests before and met the threshold. They had this failed test. They were outgoing. They didn't provide any clarity on that. And these two fighters...

have had this hanging over them the entire time and now have been totally co-opted by a political conversation when this has...

I saw J.D. Vance had a go at Kamala Harris. What Algeria does with its Olympic team has nothing to do with what's going on here. And the same thing with the opening ceremonies. Why are we making everything about us and everything political? It's the French opening ceremonies. It's Algerian boxing. Yes, you may be fearful of a dystopian future. And this is Joe Biden's America. No, it's not.

This is not an actual thing that is interfering with your life. And a lot of people just got it wrong. Jess, I saw you wanted to get in on this. Yeah. So the gender verification test, it's still I haven't found clarification on what that was. So I don't I don't think we can say definitively like if it was elevated testosterone levels like 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 age.

absurd levels of corruption. No, we did pull the curtain back a little bit and say there wasn't clarity provided on this because they were an outgoing governing body. 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. The entire country would have to be in on it. Yeah, one of the conservative talking points that I saw with people that have formed really strong opinions based on an aggregated graphic tile was

was that, oh, you can manipulate a passport. Algeria ain't playing ball that way. That goes against their general philosophy on these things. 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. 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 for representing her country 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 and so it's like she's fought sexism to get to this point 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 like it's very frustrating I feel very bad for her like the whole situation is just like awful to watch unfold and like the entire like watching like

All of these different American celebrities tweeting about it yesterday just made me feel gross. Shout out to the IOC then for standing by them and speaking openly saying, hey, this is not a gender issue. These are two fighters who were saddened that they have to go through this. Even the fighter, the Italian fighter who quit in that boxing match,

what she said 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. So I think the whole conversation is unfair. 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. And the thing that bothers me the most is they find that they're experts on humanity in general, like centuries, like,

How many years of humanity have we had that these folks are like, no, we've got it all figured out. Nothing evolves. Nothing changes. We know everything. It's absolute nonsense. I do want to applaud the IOC for their statement. I was a little frustrated yesterday because there was kind of an absence of that statement. And you could have seen if you were following the Olympics, you could have seen this story coming. This was something that people were talking about. You just didn't have the moment that I was genuinely fearing, which was.

you know, a moment that could be aggregated, that was social media friendly. A fighter quits because she got punched in the face by someone that failed a gender test. You're just licking your chops if you're a bad faith aggregator. 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.

You don't post the apology. You don't post where he literally says, oopsie. I didn't even know he apologized. Yeah, he apologized. A lot of people got this wrong, but it's not about that. Then they want to have a discussion. Look, guys, we don't have all the answers. And I pride myself on someone that likes to have all the answers at all times. We are the first generation really tasked with...

Formulating opinions on the fly with this stuff. You can miss a mark. You can pivot. You can change your mind on stuff. You could say, hold up, I don't have all the data. Presently, I'm of the mind, and this may shock you, when it comes to combat sports, I think...

biologically, there are things in neck muscles and shoulder muscles that prepare you for taking a hit. I think that there are thresholds that should be followed there. 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. 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. I need Juju's confirmation on this. 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? 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. You're going to focus on that where you have bad information? That's crazy.

I'm on it. Great contribution. I'm sure you manage the social media accounts and everything was coming in fast, furious, and totally outsized. And it was depressing. There were some encouraging points in that. There were some people that admitted that they got some things wrong. There were walkbacks.

But people are convinced to this day. That's the way that social media works. They see something that already confirms their bias. They turn and walk away and they don't want to acknowledge the truth of the matter. 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.

Don Libetard. Our Panther group chat, we're confident against the Lightning. This is a different team. You're a Panther group chat, though. No, I think. No, but dude, you're so wrong on that. We've been terrified of this team forever. And I think there's a different energy where the Panthers, they want the Lightning. Stugatz. I want t-shirts made for this Panther run. What could be this Panther run? Our Panther group chat, we're not afraid of the Lightning.

That's a tagline for World Raw 3. This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugats.

Today's episode is sponsored by DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings, the crown is yours. So I just had an experience here in the outside area here, the common area that I feel like maybe Dan has a lot. 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. And I immediately thought, oh, that's got to be a Chris Cody topic because for two reasons. 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. So I just thought he inverted that and called them beer showers, but we're actually talking about shower beers. Am I right, Chris? 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

I've never done it. I've never had a beer in the shower. And apparently it's magical. Is this like a dude thing that I'm just not familiar with? This is the most normal thing in the world. It was born out of seeing all the Finnish players for the Panthers taking the Stanley Cup into a sauna. Some of them were having beers. And we naturally pivoted. Like, Chris saw that and 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 was like... The photo made it seem like Barkov was like, hey, boys, 9 p.m. tonight, sauna.

You've never done something athletic? That's what they do in Finland. That's just what they do. It's a very Scandinavian concept. The sauna is huge there, and it's starting to come over here with body temp and people seeing all the science there. Gotta wear the hat, though. The hat's very important. 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 your pores are open, your blood is pumping. Is that why?

No, I've always thought of it as like a pregame thing. 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. I think that there, 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 dehydrated or you're in the process of being dehydrated. So if you're,

less hydrated, alcohol hits you harder. So wait, is this like... Guys, don't leave me on an island here. I've had hundreds of shower beers, but they're all drinks. Can you explain it for me? This is a fairly easy concept. Yeah, I've had hundreds of shower beers. Freaking having water particles land in your beer. You've never had a beer hit you harder because you've been more dehydrated? A couple water particles.

That's what I mean water particles. Yeah, it's a very refreshing type of shower beers up my dirty body water Just ricocheting off me. Oh no one's telling you to put the can on the bottom of your tub while your shower The can goes up high on a shelf. Yeah, I mean you've been in the ocean with the can right you know Figure figure all right since I turned 21 Figure you'd 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. You know what I mean? You start getting ready with that first Miller Lite in the shower. Can you go do this math on the whiteboard outside? I would like to actually calculate how many shower beers there are. I've had a Miller Lite script denied because they were like, talk about some of your great experiences with Miller Lite. And they're like, the shower beer take is a bit odd. But I like the shower beer. I think...

I'm not ripping it. I just have never done it. It's not like I'm letting the beer run off my chode. That's not how this goes. There's a protocol to this. I'm not even sure what body part that is. I used to not feel the whole beer after I got it.

The beer after the athletic event or whatever, because I'm still like, I'm dehydrated. I don't want to get further dehydrated. And then I had my first beer after playing a basketball game. Right? It's like, this definitely hits differently. It's super, like, I don't know, all those bubbles hitting your throat. Same concept. Totally different, right? But in the shower? Dude, you kind of skip the whole, like, athletic part of it.

And you get all the benefits. Your pores are open because it's a hot shower? Yeah, it's hotter. You're more dehydrated. I'm telling you, it just connects in different ways. Try a shower bong rip or some shower meth. Shower meth. You really upped the ante, sir. No, you don't drink where you shit, Mike.

I don't shit in the shower, Roy. No, you shit in the room where the shower is. 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. I'm with Roy. I've had a shit beer. You have? I've had a shit beer. Like, okay. Open minds, everybody. We're not judging. How is it? It's just nice. It's right here. You put it on the little counter right next to my toilet seat, sit in there, get my scroll on, pull a beer over. Make me a promise. Since we're not really judging here, you've never had one.

Why don't you try the experience? Try having a shower beer. I'll videotape it. Instagram live it. I will. 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. Jason Kelsey said that it's okay that I do that, by the way. I've seen the graphic on the internet about the places that you have to take care of. Zagak. I gotta 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. After golf, I'm scrubbing my ankles because I have dirt all over my legs. I'm just talking about a normal shower where I haven't really done much. I'm getting all the hot spots. I'm with you. Oh, God. I can't believe we're reacting. I'm telling you. I'm with him. I'm right on this. Were you by yourself?

I will support you. In the shower? No, in the argument. In the discussion. Because I will support you. I don't wash the back of my calves every time either. When you used to walk from here to the Brightline station, there's construction everywhere. There's dust going through the air. You're walking with shorts through all of that. You go home. What if I have pants? Eh, I'm good. No, the pants are all right.

I got pants right now. I'm not telling you right now. I'm not washing my kneecaps. I'm letting the water take its course there. To America's people, I was taught one way to wash, and it's the third one way. Do you moisturize when you're done showering? Are you moisturizing dirty legs? I don't moisturize my legs. I moisturize my face. I get very dry after a shower. I get like eyebrow drough.

That's a real hot spot. And I get a little druff on my mustache. So those are hot zones. I get a little aquifer on there, a little special moisturizer after that. I have these red cheeks. I have like a skin regimen. 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.

because ever since I've gotten into the whole skin reg, it is a lot of work and a lot of money, mind you. But you mentioned the lotion on your legs, on your dirty legs, Jess. It has become my shower ritual. 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. - You put the lotion on its skin.

And then you do lotion, but you're also getting a good stretch in there. Oh, okay. So it's like, it's a two for one, especially in the winter. You gotta 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. It's never too late. And I see 13-year-olds at Sephora now trying to buy this like drunken elephant skincare stuff. And they're going crazy for it. And it's like $80. I have bad feet. And my wife recently purchased this thing that...

shaves off the dead skin off the bottom of her feet. Oh my God.

And wow, I had no idea. I had basically an ant hill of dead skin on the bottom of my heel. It's pretty gross, but it made everything so much easier. And then I started moisturizing the bottom of my feet. The problem kind of went away. I just have to stay on top. - Really? - It's amazing. - Wow. - Were you aware of this? - Life hack. - Yeah. - Moisturize and exfoliate. - Yeah. Boys, steal that from your wives. I'm telling you right now, especially if you got athlete's feet,

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

But along the way, one staple of my life has been Miller Lite. And those of you that have been listening to us know this. I've been a Miller Lite guy since day one. I've been pretty honest about that. So let's get down to the nitty gritty. What is the best thing about the original Light Beer Miller Lite? It sparked this debate way back in 1975, and we still haven't settled it. For me, it's the undebatable quality. It's great taste. And...

It's less filling. Whether you're out with your friends, at a game, at a bar, in the shower, Miller Lite delivers Miller time every time. You don't have to choose what's best about Miller Lite.
