Pretty much, I want to say like 95% of our existence, we've been partnered with Miller Lite, and we believe in Miller Lite. They believe in us. It's great to have a partner with a product you truly love. That's me with Miller Lite. I love Miller Lite, always have. In fact, I consider myself a bit of a Miller Time MVP. The friend who says they've got it, I'll pick the spot, I'll throw the cooler in the trunk, bring some Miller Lite, and suddenly what was supposed to be a couple of hours turns into a whole afternoon. That's me, the Miller Time MVP. And it's great for summer hangs. Cools the body down, that beautiful white can.
Not much better than an ice-cold Miller Lite because it's brewed for taste with simple ingredients, clean, refreshing, and easy to drink in the Miami heat. An all-American summer starts with an all-American beer, Miller Lite. Go to MillerLite.com to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell beer.

You are listening to the Dan Levitar Show in partnership with the DraftKings Sports App. Now live in all 50 states. I don't want to be prisoner of the moment.
