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.

The tequila that invented tequila. Go to Cuervo.com to shop tequila or visit a store near you. Cuervo. Now's a good time. Trademarks owned by Bechler. SAB the CV. Copyright 2024. Proximo. Jersey City, New Jersey. Please drink responsibly. Jess, for the 4th of July, I'm actually headed to the land of Lincoln. Illinois. Oh, Nebraska. Yeah. Yeah.

I read that they're not going to be doing 4th of July fireworks on the lake. I read that too, but normally they do a big thing at Navy Pier, so I don't know why that is the case. So I don't know how this would stand because it's America, Jack. You need to have fireworks on the lake in Chicago on the 4th of July. The reasoning in the article, I read it a couple weeks ago and I assumed cooler heads would prevail. The reasoning that they did is on summers, we do, during the summer, we do our fireworks on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

It would be madness to all of a sudden have a Thursday fireworks session. That's strange. Also, like big fireworks are illegal in Illinois. So you actually have to drive to Indiana. There's a huge warehouse off of I-80. I think it's I-80. When you're going east towards Indiana that has like 20,000 square feet of fireworks. And it's like last stop for fireworks. Exactly. Oh.

Oh, man, that's funny. Arizona, you know, it's like wild, wild west. Oh, breaking news. What do we got? The Cavender twins have been signed by Under Armour to a three-year endorsement deal. Back to you, Mike. It's tricky for an Adidas school, but good on the rock. How's that going to work? Appreciate that. It ain't going to work on the court. I'll tell you that.

I'm very, very jealous you're going to Chicago, though. The land of Lincoln. I was just there. The weather was so much better than Miami. I'm not sure how good the street race is going to be, but it's basically music festival meets NASCAR race. And last year, I think it completely got flooded out the day after. They've had bad luck. The last month of watching NASCAR has been rough because the rain has really impacted these races. But back to the Lincoln thread.

There was this one thing that I saw on social media a couple weeks ago. Apparently there was a wax statue of Abraham Lincoln. And I just assumed this is to prove a point. This is like an environmentalist. You put a wax statue out there, you're hoping that it melts really quickly and you could say something about global warming. Actually, I don't think that was the intent, but that is kind of what ended up happening. So it was like a 3,000 pound wax statue of Abe Lincoln that was outside of an elementary school in D.C. And it melted really fast because they had a heat wave there and

It ended up looking like Abe Lincoln's head was thrown backwards in a moment of pleasure and delight. And I can't think of another way to describe it. I got a way to describe it. Hak Tua.

But it also looks like he almost got decapitated by an assassin that decided to seize on this moment. Well, that is kind of sort of what happened to him. Like a little close. Get him out of here. Too soon. Get me out of here. I mean, who... Who established a... Like, who...

It's flawed logic. Let's have a wax statue. Outside. Well, so the artist apparently was like, we knew it was going to melt. We thought it would kind of like melt like a candle, but instead it melted in this very suggestive way. It had a 1.2 chance of melting this way and it did it. I kind of wish it was made out of butter. It'd be delicious. I can't believe it's not butter.

Okay, you gotta leave. That's a good one! No, that's a good one. He had a perfect go. Oh, man! It's like, you can't come up with that in a writer's room. You tried. Or maybe you would try hard for like 30 minutes and then come up with that. Do you guys remember the Caitlin Clark butter sculpture? No. That was great. I still think that Lucy should have to do that for some sort of video bit. She should have to carve a butter sculpture of Caitlin Clark.

I think she'd be down for that. I think so, too. Yeah. It doesn't even have to be a Caitlin Clark. I remember Fabio on the Can't Believe It's Not Butter commercial. His hair was amazing. Do you remember when he killed that bird with his face? Yeah. On the roller coaster. I do remember that. The butter sculpture that I'm looking at of Caitlin Clark, it looks like the kind of thing that your cousin would see online. On her twine tour. Yeah.

That's a throwback of a reference. The twine door. Oh, my God. Do you know about that, Mike? No. You don't? Oh, my God. You missed out. That statue look like Rose. Oh, that sure does. She's probably happy about that, too. As Sam Reinhart found out, it's wedding season. I somehow had a July wedding in South Florida. Don't do that. I would strongly vote against that. I was young and tried to devise my wedding

wedding around when it was a quieter moment in the sports calendar. I would have thought it was because it's cheaper probably, right? No. No? No. Like certainly not. I think July is like prime wedding time in most of the country. In Miami? Probably not Miami. That's what I'm saying. I think the season in Miami is like winter and spring. It was a huge regret and we did it at the church that her family built down here. It was at a beautiful Greek Orthodox church. They forgot to run the AC the night before and so it was really...

really bad really hot in there really sweaty oh she's made a save on uh cynthia's dress save the wedding so you got saved the wedding there but uh sam reinhardt found out wedding season can pop its head up during these summer months what is this video of kyle shanahan well it's just a still image of him at christian mccaffrey's wedding and he appears to have new facial hair he has a mustache oh boy

No. That's a good look. That's not a good look. That is a really good look. I like it, bro. He looks presidential. He does.

I mean, I think he kind of looks like Pat Riley in this photo. Am I crazy for that? No. You know Pat Ryan and Aaron Rodgers together? Can we zoom in any way that we can do that? Because he's got the salt and pepper stash. Yeah. You know what he looks like? He looks like an accountant who's here to tell the mob boss that I can't hide these expenses. I think he looks like Andy Garcia. He looks like Jeremy Strong.

He does look like Jeremy Strong. A little bit of Jeremy Strong. And the round glasses, too. Like, that's a great idea for his dad to, like, turn down. He looks like Jeff Rimmer. Which fits for him, too. Yeah, it kind of does for him. Honesty. He looks more distinguished with a mustache. For sure. I like this look. This is a strong argument for the mustache. It changes his face in a good way. Oh, wait. Are you guys impressed by the mustache or that his hair is slicked back real good? Well, that...

That's what's giving me Riley. That's what's giving me Riley. It's not wearing a flat brim snapback. Also, how do we feel about Kittle's high pony? We now need to scroll over. I do like a good top bun. Let's see that. Me three, I'd love a good top bun. Yeah, can we scroll over to George Kittle, see if he's rocking top bun or...

Oh, that is. Oh, my God. That's not a top one. That's just a high pony in the back that's given that appearance. Yeah, that's handsome for a wedding. Like, if you're a kiddo, that's, I mean, you can't get better than that. And then Jeremy Taché behind him.

That's the youth. Big youth. Who is that? Is that Bosa? Kyle Juszczyk. His wife is tearing the game up with the fashion line she got going on. Yeah, I think she's got some NHL exclusives. NFL exclusives that people are... Hell yeah. Yeah, she's going to be licensed now. Do we think he keeps it for the season? The stash? I hope so.

That sash, I trust that sash. He should just fade the sides of his hair during the season, and he will be like through the roof. Dangerous game for a white guy with slicked back hair to shave the sides. Animal sash. Animal sash. Andrew Schultz is killing that look. He keeps leaning into that more and more. Like harsh fade, too. Not even like the winded fade. There's no bow. Straight. And he's leaning right.
