You're listening to DraftKings Network. 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.

Edmonton is denying our request to put up billboards with the note, apologies, but your ad request will not be processed and I'm no longer able to assist with this.

Response from our team is as follows. We have declined your request for advertising. Part of our creative approval process includes aligning with community standards and respecting the sensibilities of all stakeholders, including our audience, who in this case are the citizens of Edmonton, as well as our partners. And this messaging does not meet those standards.

Look at the big smile on Juju's face there. Greg Cody continues to be in the middle of everything. I think the billboards are pretty benign. Stugatz at some point is going to negotiate with some of the people over there, and hopefully we can broadcast that for you tomorrow. I'm only going to do that if Juju thinks I should do that. He might think it's a bad idea, and I tend to follow Juju wherever he goes. All right, Juju, what are your thoughts here? Do you have any thoughts for us before we get to it?

Before we get to the critique you have of today's show, what are your thoughts here on what it is that we're doing? Can do, should do, will do, won't do.

I think this is a case. I think that, look, man, whenever it was just up to us, should we do the billboards? I think that we could have had more courage in that sense. But since Edmonton has reached out and said, no, we don't want to be a part of this. We have to respect that. It's like we can't tell them how to feel once they've been offended.

sort of like some of my posts over the weekend. Once they tell me, hey, I don't like it, it's not up to me to be like, well, this is why you should like it. No, they're offended, so I should take those posts down. And I think we're losing the point. We don't have a problem with Edmonton. I don't.

last time I checked, do we hate Edmonton? No, I don't hate Edmonton. I think we should put those billboards to better use so they can support my brother even more. Let's put these billboards right next to the Miami Herald. So every time every employee who drives up to the Herald, they see the face of the guy that built this place brick by brick. So you want us to put up the billboards here? You want us to put them up in Miami? Yeah.

Yes. Ask Greg Cody. I'm sure he would love that even more. Because Edmonton, we don't even know any of those guys. He'll put them up himself. I also don't know that the people of Edmonton are actually offended. It's just a billboard company speaking on their behalf. I don't know if the billboard company speaks on behalf of all of Edmonton here. All right, Dan, take a straw poll. What is that? Juju, what do you have for us in the way of criticism today?

I don't have any criticism for today's show. That's one place I will start. The fans of the show has been letting me know how they feel about my criticism of the show. So they want me to be less critical. So I will take a page out of that book and say, look, I show grace. There was one time where you remembered Emily's name and not Lucy's name. That was a gaffe. But I don't think you're wrong.

I'm not casting blame. Everybody's right. You know what I mean? They tell me I've been also in my mentions. They say, Joe, I love you, man, but you've been so emotional the last couple of days. And you know what? You guys, you're right. I got to take a page out of my own book as well. Stop being so dang emotional, even though you're right. Don't nobody cares about that. I have to stop being so emotional.

Juju, I appreciate that you always take accountability on these things. I also think it's unnecessary. I want you to be the ombudsman. I want you to be the voice of the fan. The fan spends a lot of time criticizing us. In the last few years, I would say more so than ever, although I suspect the last couple of weeks of shows have been something they've entertained because when

When sports are fun and we're totally engaged, that tends to be pretty fun for our audience. So I don't imagine that there are great many complaints these days, the last few days, even though there are always complaints around here about something. It's what the Internet is for. It's what it was built for.

Right. If I do have a complaint, it's be let's be nicer to each other. We were me. We were more mean to each other than happy that the Panthers won. What is happening here? I want to tune into this show and I want to hear you tell everybody in Edmonton right where they can go. And guess what? Here's a hint.

Art Browse is over there sipping Mai Tais. Yes, ma'am. Yes, sir. I want to tell Conor McGee, Jesus, you're great. I'm not emotional. You're great, McGee, Jesus. But you didn't win the Stanley Cup. I want to tell Leon Dreisaitl, welcome to another year of not being a Stanley Cup champion. Loser, you're going to put your forearm in our captain's face like that? I did not like that. We kept it cool. We respected you. We waited to the end of the series. But guess what? You're a loser.

Purple drink. Purple drink. We are Stanley Cup champions. What is happening around here? Salute. You guys all do realize, right, that Panthers fans have no evidence that Dreisaitl is good at hockey. There is no evidence.

There's no evidence that, that, that, that is a very confusing thing that, uh, that Edmonton, there's a billboard that I'm pretty sure Edmonton will get behind that billboard. No evidence. Edmonton. I'm going to mind. I'm not emotional. Not emotional. He's right. Not emotional. Uh,

But Panther fans really do believe, based on the coverage of this series by this show, that Edmonton only has one great player. There really was. Dry Seidel, when were you ever aware that Dry Seidel was out there doing anything? Game six, yeah.

And when he's illegally hitting our captain and not getting punished. Right. And we kept it cool. Even you see, you rock came on the show. He kept it graceful. He said, look, we're not going to get into that. We got one mission. We got to win the Stanley cup. And guess what? The mission has been conquered. I'm his brother.

I became a Panthers fan because of Michael Ryan Ruiz. I just wanted to see my brother happy. But as much as these games start getting in the 3-3, my heart was involved at this point. You should have seen me in here watching the game seven with me and my girl. Oh, my God.

And I commend Mike. Oh, my goodness. You kept it together. You did me. You came back and you show grace to Greg Cody. And that's all we want to see. We just want to see our love each other. And we got the W. Oh, my God. It's so beautiful. One of the coolest things to got to me about this run. And obviously, you know how much gratitude that I have in general for this as a platform and our audience.

But to see so many people who did not care about hockey care about hockey just because this show was caring about hockey. Like it was pretty cool to see. A cool article, an awful announcement about it. That people were gathered around just interested because sports were having and they had a rooting interest through this show. It was it.

It made me feel very strongly that what it is that we do here every once in a while lands in the way that you want it to land, even though it comes with a great deal of criticism because it's an odd thing to have happen. I don't think a lot of shows have that particular loyalty and sway over an audience to get you to care about something you don't actually care about. Now, how do we use that power to make everyone in Edmonton feel like shit? Yeah.

No, we don't do that, brother. It's men's mental health month on top of that. Like it's been a lot of brothers reaching out to me over the month. And I feel like I let them down because the NBA finals was so much been going on. I haven't had a chance to do a wake and take or just sit down and just talk to my brothers out there and my sisters out there. Like,

this is an important time to let each other know that like bro i care about you i understand sometimes as adult men we be feeling so ashamed to be having problems i'd be ashamed myself i'm gonna open up myself i'd be ashamed to be wrong sometimes i'd be ashamed to be embarrassing myself in front of y'all and stuff like that so i have to be a better uh i have to give myself more grace as well as i know all my brothers out there as well you have these situations and problems look

I'm not going to ramble. I'm a rambling man, just like my brother Dan. But at the same time, if you want to reach out, if you want to talk, send me a DM, brother. I promise I'm going to get to it over the next couple of weeks. Let's have an open dialogue, man. Let's just facilitate this, just the communication, brother. Let's have camaraderie as brothers. If you out there, you listening. If you need somebody to talk to. Just don't answer the one from Andrew Brandt. Yeah, be careful with that one. Be careful. Sounds like we should wait till July 1st for the billboards, Dan. Yeah.

Thank you, Juju. Thank you. Thanks, Juju. Summer's the best time to run the way you want. Dial it up with new challenges and programs and bring your workouts with you to make the most of outside sunny days. Stugatz, guess what? What? You know what you can do with Peloton? What? Get the app, go outside, ride a bike. Well, I thought you ride Peloton inside. Well, you do. 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. Maybe it's too hot.

summertime, go outside. I record a lot from my office with you and you've noticed it's sitting there yet. It hasn't been used. Well, now's the time. Summer's the best time to start that push. Right. Can we do it together? Not on the same bike, but we could join a class together. I used to do that. We used to have Guillermo Tan. I'd invite people. We'd all take a class together. Okay. So I think you're starting to get concerned about my health and my age, Billy. I,

I sense that with you. We're beyond starting. Okay. Whatever road lies ahead, your training starts here with Peloton Tread and Tread Plus. It's not just a bike, a treadmill too. I'm going to go outside. I'm going to get in shape. I'm going to do it with Billy Gill. I want to be in your class. I want you to be my instructor. You know what? I won't be your instructor. You don't want to spend more time with me. No, I can schedule a class and we can ride together. I won't be the instructor of the class. We can have Camila could be our instructor. I like the Grateful Dead class. My daughter, she uses the Peloton. Mm-hmm.

She was on it 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.
