Chapter 1: What is the story behind tequila's origins?
Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo. I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.
Cuervo.

I mean, why are you saying here, before we get to Juju, why are you saying that streaming is dead?
Well, actually, I wanted to talk about this yesterday with Greg Cody, because he was talking about how much he loves that show Mobland. And Mobland, it was a phenomenal show on Paramount+, A-listers, Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren. And it turns out that it's in jeopardy of not getting renewed, despite being really good, because the numbers just aren't there.
Also, a big cast. I mean, that's an expensive cast, sounds like.

Chapter 2: Is streaming really dead?
Well, yeah, connected to that, the Disney Plus show Andor, season two just wrapped up. It's done incredibly because it's the Star Wars show that's for people who don't watch Star Wars. It's very gritty. It's very grounded in reality. And Tony Gilroy, who's a showrunner, he's the guy behind Michael Clayton and other great movies that you might love.
He said, basically, Disney told him, we're out of streaming after this in terms of TV shows. We're going back to just put into movies. And the idea here is that like they just found that it's not a worthwhile business model to be sinking premium money into creating premium content for streaming.
Can actors or actresses take a role that then ruins their reputation for you?
Chapter 3: Why is Mobland at risk of cancellation?
like do you have anything because I was we had like the family over this weekend they were talking about that they were talking about Helen Mirren and Helen Mirren is one of the you know actors or actresses that gets the classical just classically trained from the theater and everyone was saying oh yeah classically trained from the theater classically trained from the theater like this is this big respectful thing I go she's in like four Fast and Furious movies like let's relax with how great Helen Mirren is like she is in the Fast and the Furious now no more classically trained for Helen Mirren Fast and the Furious
I thought that that was the greatest praise an actor could get in your world.
It is the greatest praise in my world. In my world, one of the biggest insults is classically trained from the theater. So when they're saying that, oh, Helen Mirren, I was like, no, that's Jason Statham's mom. Like, enough with the theater situation.
uh juju before we get to you i do want to just sort of be curious about why it is that mob land wouldn't be renewed but and just like that is renewed the sex in the city spinoff on max when that show needed to die sex sells though dan oh but this is not the kind of sex that sells uh do you think that it's sex in the city i mean okay so fine miranda with rosie o'donnell is the sex that sells uh
at Levitard Show, put it on the poll, is Miranda with Rosie O'Donnell, the sex that sells. Juju, what is the fan commentary that we have on today's show? What is the criticism that people are levying at us today? Miranda?
Good to be here. Happy Pride Month to the community out there. You feel me? Joseph, Joe Lights from Twitter says, I'm not letting Dan claim flan as Cuban. And he put up an article where it says flan is a Spanish and Mexican dessert.
It's in Spanish because Spanish kind of did all that.
Also, I've been corrected by my brethren. Even though we call it creme caramel in Sudan, it's not actually creme caramel. It's flan, but we just call it that.
Yes. Living Sleazy also says, someone tell Dan that flan belongs to all Latinos, not just Cubans.

Chapter 4: What are the latest developments in women's softball?
We were talking about it right before you came on.
There are all sorts of opinions given out here that no one is given permission to give. Right. I don't know why you're apologizing for your opinion. Before we get to polls, though, what else do you have for us today? You know what we haven't talked about? Everyone's watching the softball. There is a lot of televised softball. Massive ratings, yes.
But we are not among those who are watching the softball.
Yeah, I watched them. I'm locked in. Yesterday, Oklahoma versus Texas Tech. Oh, my goodness. So much drama. They had a shutout pitch into the bottom of the seventh inning where Oklahoma had one strike left, hit a home run to tie the game, two-round homer, and then Texas Tech came back in the bottom of the inning and closed the deal.
Oklahoma, who has pretty much one of the winningest softball teams in history. There was like seven consecutive World Series appearances, if not championships. You know what I mean? I think they, in my opinion, I think those women deserve a league, a professional softball league. We should have one. Start off with like eight teams or so. You know what I mean?
Because I think these little girls, they love this. And it's a shame that this is the highest level of softball other than the Olympics that we get.
Juju, I have a question for you. You mentioned that one of the teams had seven straight championship appearances. Is that A, knowledge that Juju has because I've been a softball fan forever? B, knowledge that Juju has because it was mentioned on the broadcast? Or C, knowledge that Juju has because he went and did the homework and the research once he started getting into softball?
Now, I was watching it on the game when they kept saying it. And so I was locked in just to tune in. They got the best pitcher at Texas Tech. I can't even think of her name on the spot right now. But she's the first millionaire NIL pitcher ever. I was just rooting for her. You know what I mean? I was rooting for her. And then whenever she almost blew it at the end, my heart was broken.
But they kept hammering it over our head how good Oklahoma has been.

Chapter 5: What happened between Bill Simmons and Pablo Torre?
I just said that's quite an accusation. I mean, I'm just saying he could do that.
It is a big accusation. He could do that, and you are just saying it, but you're claiming some great immorality and editing that would embarrass Pablo and favor Bill. It's a reckless speculation. You think Bill is going to favor Pablo and embarrass himself on his own show? I don't know why you'd assume anybody would be embarrassed in that scenario.
It's on Bill's home court. Which podcast is it on?
Is it Bill Simmons' podcast, or is it on the Rewatchables, which is the podcast where it happened? Because it'd be great if he has Pablo on, and they don't talk about it at all. They just rewatch an old movie.
They just talk about Heaven Can Wait for 999.
100%.
Dan, again, the quote is, since you have such a strong public opinion about my work, I happen to have a few questions for you specifically. You think they're just gonna go over there and just like, oh, it was a misunderstanding? No, Pablo's coming in with questions. Questions that could be damaging to Bill Simmons.
Juju, do you like the idea of a either television detective or someone dressed like Pablo coming in and their signature phrase after opening up a briefcase being, I happen to have a few questions for you.
I love it. I love it, 100%.

Chapter 6: How do edits impact interviews in media?
Okay, I thought it was fine the way that it was, but now we're on TV. It needs a little bit more. So the exploding toothpick of threat. That makes everything. Okay, an exploding toothpick is what you've added to the mix. Slow motion walking away with the explosion bomb.
It's something. All he has is questions.
Is it getting embedded in Simmons' forehead? What's happening with the toothpick?
It's just exploding?
It explodes on concept.
It wrecks everything. It's a good thing. It just has to get close enough. It doesn't have to exactly hit the target because it explodes.
Okay. So it's a toothpick that acts as a grenade. Excellent. Okay. It couldn't be enough to be a briefcase and a detective. Now we have to throw an exploding toothpick in the mix to make it just a little better than that.
Imagine if that's how it all ends for Pablo, right? He's there finding out, but he's really just blowing up all these investigations with explosions. Then he goes to prison for mass murder. Loser. And then he can be a Cowboys fan.
At Levitard Show, it was good enough the way that I was doing it. We didn't need the exploding toothpicks. At Levitard Show, what are the poll questions today that people, and yesterday, since you weren't here, if you've got any from yesterday. We've had a lot of them the last two days.
