This is the Don Lebatore Show with the StuGuts Podcast. There are very few absolutes in life. One of them is you can't throw stuff on the field. I think it's more important than no streaking, because people streak. I don't like, listen, you could get hurt. That's fine. I think there's a bunch of rules like don't cross against the light, be respectful at a grocery store of people in front of you.

All those rules, they can all be violated. Here's a rule that I think can't be violated. You can't throw stuff on the court during a game. And the WNBA has a real problem on its hands. And I need to talk about it, because I'm angry, angry. They're throwing dildos, Greg. Yeah, I read. Have you seen it? Do you know what a dildo? Did you know what a dildo was? I did know what a dildo was

I I am always amused when the mainstream media refers to sex toys Like the word dildo itself a silly funny word You can't say dildo you got to say sex toy Oh, is that one of the is that a Carlin wordraftKings that we're not letting us say dildo? No, you're kidding. That's a play on, we're good. We just said it. Yeah, I think it's so, and I thought to be a sex toy,

there had to be batteries. Don't some dildos have batteries? Right, I thought the battery list dildos, battery list dildos, thank you very much, say that 10 times. I thought that's what was thrown on the court. If we check it out right now, we can see. I wasn't amused, but it had nothing to do with the dildo.

I'm not amused that people are throwing things to start with. Then when you get into the sexist part of it, that made me angry. But what upset me is that it can really hurt players. I just want in on the joke. Like, what is funny about it after it's done once? Did the person do it the one time?

Was there something behind it? Or was it just like, hey, here's a dildo I brought inside? And then the person is just copycatting because they thought it was weird. Like, if there is some sort of backstory to this, at least it's interesting. Right now, it's just a lame attempt at humor. So you differentiate the Panthersthers rat from the WNBA dildo because one is when play is

not happening or one is a sexually charged issue. Well hockey's different in general. You throw hats on the ice when they get a hat trick, etc. So in celebration, I have no problem with throwing something out on the floor if it's a tradition If you're throwing something out on the floor during a game and it's dangerous and it could disrupt everything Yeah, of course, you don't do that traditions start the first time they're not traditions I'm pretty sure there's not gonna be a rain a shower of dildos at WNBA playoff games in the future I'm pretty sure this is just something they're gonna sort of stomp out real quick

I was concerned at the missile-like status and the WNBA players, I think, are getting it wrong and that they're focused on the fact that it was a dildo and I want them to focus on the fact that you can actually get hurt. Sure. And they've gotta make money. Yeah.

At Unrivaled. Right, I mean, those things are hard rubber, right? And so if it hits you in the eye, theoretically, it's a problem. Someone could lose an eye. They could lose an eye, there you go. People are not as angered as I am by this because they're amused by it,

and I find it to be sexist, dangerous, and the precedent in setting that I think there will be copycats, Izzy. I think you're gonna see more of them. Even though they made an arrest, I love making arrests at ball games by the way. I'm curious what's the- You used to love arresting people.

We'll get to that in a second. What's the insult to you? Why is it sexist? I don't think they throw a dildo at a male NBA game. They do it at Bills games. Yeah, Bills. Buffalo Bills games? Yeah.

Thank you for, I did not know that. They throw dildos on the field? A couple times, yeah. they play the Patriots. And what's it- what's the provenance there? We don't know. I don't know. Why do they jump through tables? Who knows?

Yeah. They're different. Yeah. Buffalo-onians? Yeah, they're different. They- The mafia. They call themselves the mafia.

Bills mafia. They'll jump through a flaming table and do the ketchup and mustard thing. When we're prepping the show folks And I'm new here and we have a whole segment on dildos in the WNBA and it's something that's not newer It's totally ordinary and expected. It's not ordinary. No, I just cited one example. It's not It's pretty much regarded as the craziest fan base there is in sports Does that change your mind then? Is it not as insulting or sexist

because they've done it in a men's sport first? It's also harder to get the dildo onto the playing surface. You have to have a chooch on you, let's be honest. It's also not just a women's sex toy. They're throwing dildos, Greg. Okay, love you Izzy, I really do. I totally get that and I apologize.

No, no, you don't have to apologize to me. I'm just clarifying for you. I don't think you insulted anybody. Yeah, no, it's a blind spot. It's a blind spot. That's a blind spot and I'm sorry. Why is it always neon green? It's not always neon green.

It needs to be noticed, right? Rabbits can be pink or whatever. No, but we've seen it at two different venues, same color. And it's not an easy to track down color. Action green? You don't typically see those that color. Slime green? It looked more like Marlins Park Walgreens. You would assume something fleshy.

Yeah, you would. I don't believe that's the best selling color actually. Harder to find within the sheets. Hmm. I think that's a point. No, I think you want to find something as quick as you can. Glows in the sheets. Hmm, I think that's a point. No, I think you want to find something quick, as quick as you can. Glows in the dark. Glows in the dark.

It's... I imagine it's easier to slip into the fantasy if it's flesh-colored. That's what I like to think about. I need to just get back to the fact that it's happening elsewhere, because my mind is a little blown. I didn't realize this is a thing now.

So Buffalo started it and the WNBA copied it? Why are they making such a big deal of it then? That was my question to you. Well, first of all is what's the joke there? If the concern is just that there's gonna be a bunch of copycats and then you get a game where you have multiple dildos flying all over the place, then we're doing a full like absolute,

practically a strip search when you walk into the arena. So I'm pretty sure they will calm down on this but it just felt like a copycat somebody I thought it was funny gonna do it again it's really not that funny the concern is the playing surface is so much closer to the stands that someone can get donked by one of these dogs and they could actually when you're on a football field you're wearing a helmet not on the sideline you're not and I assume that's where they would land from the stand. No, no, no, in Buffalo they've made it to the playing surface.

Made it to the end zone. That's why you wanna get a big girthy dildo. Cause you think that'll travel further? More momentum, yes. You don't want something that can get caught up in the wind. Right. A lot of wind in Buffalo. How would you toss it?

Would you go overhand? Would you frisbee it? I don't even know the proper end over end over here. But end over end will also slow it down. I think you have to hold it by the shaft and throw it that way Yeah, I think you got a hold of the tip and just get most of the weight in the backside and just flip it underhand like Biceps for that and triceps and Izzy's got that for monkey bars The regular football way that Mike Ryan's doing for those of you not watching on the LeBata YouTube channel He was just doing it as a full Tom Brady quarterback motion, but where would you be holding it?

That's, you can't grab the laces. I think right by the balls. You got to have some pressure on the back, right? So that way you can thrust it forward. Yeah, maybe one finger in between the balls. Some people like that. I think that Izzy has it right in almost every regard. I mean, it's kind of my specialty.

So I think that we are not in position to question how to properly throw a dildo. Needs to be aerodynamic. Well, that can be another one of our presidential challenges. Let's write that one down. 50 yards. Monkey bars and dildo flinging. Can you throw a dildo 50 yards?

There's no way. It's gonna be the next Greg Olympics. I think it's possible. It would have to be a, it's not even a shot put. You'd have to be way stronger than we are. I am okay with failing the presidential physical fitness contest, my recollection for that is- Because the president will.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, if you remember, he was a part of that, that may have been in my younger days. Yes. 100%, like he was the face of it in my childhood. Right, steroids user, yeah. He was a steroids user. He still is, I assume. I assume so, as well.

You can't keep a body like that. I found out a friend of mine's doing steroids and I had no idea. I was always jealous of his body. Pudge? No, but not anymore, but yes. I found out just a normal non-athlete guy. For what purpose?

He has a great body and I just assumed he had a great body and then I found out he's doing steroids. Mike, this is your wheelhouse. You see Sean McVay shirtless? I don't have to imagine him shirtless. Have you seen how tight those coaches' shirts are? He's got an HGH build. Yeah.

It's kinda like that stomach that comes out a little bit. The twist right in. I know what you're talking about. Little barrel chest now? There's no way he has that much time to work out. I like the ones who say they worked out during the off season and it turns out out like I had a thing about Luca. I'm sorry, but how does Luca have that transformation?

They just finished playing April 30th. It's been three months. Easiest weight to lose, water weight. That dude had so much beer and all he had to do was run, sweat that out, he'd lose it like that. Can happen in three months. So-

I lost 30 pounds in two months. Unaided? Yeah, this go round, yeah. Yeah, I did the Ozempic like two years ago. But I actually just followed what it did for me this time and then added exercise. You lost a pound every two days. I guess that- 30 pounds in two months.

I mean, the tape don't lie. On Thanksgiving, Super Bowl, I was pretty much there. Boom. That's hard to do, congrats. Did you keep it off? Because you look like you did. So far so good. You look great.

The mustache is a choice. Yeah, when he shaves the beard, you can tell he's feeling good about his face, right? Was that because I'm here? What was the purpose of the mustache? No, I'm going to get a haircut later in the week and I know how to time it out. So you have enough scruff when the haircut comes? Yeah.

They're throwing dildos, Greg. Do you keep track of that? I know, it's all up here in the dome. It's unspoken. No, my body. It's nice, but I'll still go back to the fact that what Luca did during an off season, it's not a real off season.

What do you mean? He's got trainers, he's got a nutrition program. The highest level of everything he can ask for he has. In two months, you think, and you think there was nothing weird about that cover of that health magazine. No. You don't think he had some sort of weird oil on his body

to make him shine that way? Perhaps, yeah, no, it got touched up. And a little touch up on the defined muscles on that picture? Well, this was a magazine to promote, well, promoting themselves, but a magazine article on Luka Donjic. It's not like a medical exam to see if this guy's actually shredded or not. Like, if you want to know what he really looks like, then go take the physical with him with the Lakers. Well, you could because he signed his extension.

And he wants everyone to know, hey, I took less money, like Bridges. I don't want to talk about the Knicks yet, but we're gonna get to him. Six million dollars Bridges took under the max and he's like God's gift to Nick fans. Six million, Izzy, give me a small break. 150 versus 156. Made him forget all about those five first round draft picks.

How is that even, is that possible that Nick fans are that stupid? Absolutely. I saw a graphic the other day with the same exact starting five from last year and it's like, let's run it back and people are losing their minds. Ah, this is the year, it's the championship season.

No, it's not. It can't be. You can't run back a loser, then you're a loser. With a worst coach. Definitely a worst coach. Tibbs got totally railroaded. But I don't want Bridges to get flowers for giving up six million dollars. Luca didn't give up anything. So just when he's talking about Lakers and winning,

so we know the mechanics of his extension. He signed a three-year deal now so he can then sign a huge extension that'll be about 80 million a year for 2028. He had to do it, excuse me, in this order. Right. He's no hero but i get that but bridges taking six million less is not nothing it's not nothing you know this is uh... right everybody wants more more more and the idea that he's taking less to serve some credit i will say this the collective bargaining agreements done a pretty decent job i know this is a bad

example because Luca got traded to the Lakers, but when people sign their stuff or resign, they kind of stay with the same team a little bit more often because of the money that they can get. Because I know like Miami Heat probably had eyes on the 2026 free agency, right? And set up and maybe they can make a run at Luca, but now no chance.

No, he's now there. He's basically bought a house, I assume, and committed himself. I just don't view, and Iz Izzy you'll know better than I. Did you view, forget the fact that it's the same starting five, did you view what Bridges did as magnanimous? No, not at all. I mean, it's just the timing of it is what it is.

You're going to take as much as you can get. The idea of him sort of saying, or advertising the fact that he took less, I mean, that's probably just him trying to get in with the fans a little bit better, who probably were killing them a little bit throughout the season. Also, when your best player takes less on his deal, doesn't that kind of trickle down and be like,

I can't be the guy to take the max when they traded first five first round picks for me, and then I kind of disappeared sometimes in the playoffs. And the best player we have took less money on his deal too. It was six million. This is not a hometown discount. But you're acting like six million in the parlance of professional sports. It's not a lot, but to the average fan, they would be impressed by somebody taking six million less than they could. Over the life of a contract? No, over how many years it was?

It's not a mortgage It's not 30 years We're talking about five years or four years that he signed a deal like six million over four years plus losing taxes Like what like what is that money to him? To Luca for a second is this the most like I don't even know what the numbers I haven't checked the draft King odds draft King's odds But the most solid preseason pick for an MVP ever. Because not only did he obviously lose the weight, he's probably gonna be a little bit more spry,

maybe even raise his numbers a little bit, but it's the Lakers, all eyes are gonna be on that team. There's gonna be so many people just want to, and if he gives you like 32-7 and seven, I mean, that man's clearly gonna win his first MVP. You think he's passing SGA and Jokic. I don't think SGA wins another MVP. I think Jokic is always gonna be in the conversation.

I have Luca maybe third in the odds, and haven't checked he's third in the odds right now Yokich is plus 200 Shea is plus 250 and Lucas plus 650 on drafting so wow That's that's I'm surprised by that given the fact that he's got the motivation. He's clearly Lost some weight and I like the roster. I don't love the roster. Not a championship roster but that's the main reason why his numbers might could skyrocket is because he's got to do more work and if LeBron misses some time yada yada. I you know what I'm gonna go ahead and put a bet on that. You know who I'm gonna put a bet on? You know who's seventh in MVP odds right now?

Kade Cunningham plus 3,000. You love Kade, don't you? Just for you. That's actually, that's some value. Of course that's some value for a guy who said that he's good. Not the best player on a team that can win a championship. What I said was, I don't think as a number one, he'll win a championship. We'll see.

I like him. Okay. He also said he wants to be an MVP one day, so I mean, you know. He's seventh in the odds, is he like, I have a way to see on nothing personal that Luca will win a ring before Trey Young. And it was back when Dallas, it was Dallas versus Atlanta. And my question is, does that now become, cause I I'm accountable for wait to seize and I'll revisit them.

Do I now get the Lakers? So now if the Lakers win, that counts as Luca winning the title. What a great trade, but Trey Young could get traded and not become the primary guy in a championship team, and then I'd lose that. Hawks are nice. They could make a little one in the East. I assume they're not even in the top eight to win a title. Top 12? What is the time parameter on a wait to see? It's in the wait to see, so for this one, that Luke will win a title before

Trey Young, it's forever. And what's the penalty? I just, I revisit it instead of like many shows where they don't ever have accountability for predictions they make or picks they make and they never revisit them. I like revisiting my picks and takes. And then insulting yourself, just getting mad at yourself.

Just saying I was wrong. Just acknowledging being wrong. What's your one loss record? I, on my picks this year, I'm one oh, I'll have to check my rundown, like one oh two and 96? One oh three and 96 right now. Above 500. Above 500, and on the way to C's,

I'd have to go back over five years. I still have some pending ones from when the show first started. Do you ever intentionally do one that's ridiculously easy just to pad your record? Yes. 100%. Like Shohei Otani is gonna pitch four innings. When it was announced that he'd pitch four innings and then he got taken out after three and a third and I got it wrong. Where are the Hawks, Tony? They are 14th right now, so middle of the pack plus 4,500 to win the NBA championship.

There's no, when's the last time a middle of the pack championship happened? Does it happen often in basketball? No. When the Heat were the number eight seeding out to the finals, were they middle of the pack when the season started? I don't know.

Probably, probably around there. I gotta bring something else up that is in my head, sitting next to you, Greg. They're throwing dildos, Greg. It's not about dildos. I'm good with that. I think we've established that it's not right. Sure. It's sexist and that I'm not the right person to talk about it. That is he is. We're anti throwing dildos. My bad. Right. I'm anti all of it.

You know I'm a married man. I don't cheat on my wife despite that gratuitous line Stugats I wish you were here my wife. I really miss her No, I don't that's the thing about being married. You know, you're not allowed to say I don't miss my wife I've been gone two days. I haven't been gone long enough to miss my wife. I'm sorry. I call her 30 seconds. You know, what am I, hello, all right, all right, we'll see ya, all right, and then, you know,

I'm gonna see her in two days. How's jumping Charlie? Good. This is the Don LeBattar Show with the Stugarts. I wanna talk about your show for a minute, because I wanna make sure you get the possible promotion. Thank you, even though it's not a metal arc show But I would like to say that metal arc supports in a way that I'm gobsmacked Given that there's no nothing in it for metal arc at all. That's true. They're keeping me happy which they barely do

So that's fair I was told in the little period I had that there was something you had on your show. Yeah. Well, I always do. We had a top 20 herbs countdown and we revealed the number one herb on the current episode. Rosemary. No. Oh. Are you talking about kind of weed? Hancock? Kind of weed? It can be either an herb you use in a culinary sense or pot or a person named Herb. It can be- Herb Albert? Yeah, it could be that. Yeah, it could be any herb.

What if someone's name is Herb? Are they there because of the same spelling? Yeah, but we call them an herb. Oh, got it. Okay. Herb Williams? He did not make the top 20. He's a great herb. Oh, got it, okay. Herb Williams? He did not make the top 20. He's a great herb.

Who was number one? Well, you have to listen to the podcast right now. You won the number one, we used phone number two. Do you have any recollection? Can you look at your rundown? Cause you don't remember. Number two was Herb Peterson. The man who invented the Egg McMuffin.

Speaking of number twos, Greg. Number three was the first bag of marijuana I ever bought. We want people to listen to your show. Yeah. And you went with the Egg McMuffin guy as your second most famous herb. Right, because Rosemary, Thyme. They all made the list.

I'm not sure if Thyme did. Rosemary and basil did. Several herbs did. It turned out to be ten human herbs and ten medicinal or culinary herbs. Not dill though, right? Dill did not make it, no. Did you say dill? I do like dill. Tarragon, I just used tarragon yesterday in making a pork Wellington. Cody, can I ask you another question about the previous week's episode of The Greg Cody Show? Yeah, always. With Greg Cody? Yeah. I'm can I ask you another question about the previous week's episode of The Greg Cody Show? Yeah, always.

With Greg Cody? Yeah. I'm just gonna quote you a couple of times from your show. Yeah. You said quote, speaking to Chris Cody, your mother's shitting borders on uncontrollable. Oh no. And you had a follow up quote that you were trying,

trying to sort of gather yourself and you said, no, I'm kidding, she doesn't abnormally defecate. See? How's your marriage? Pretty good, it's pretty good. She does listen to the podcast, but she assumes stuff like that are going to be said. I did walk it back.

She does assume things like that, like she assumes that when she turns on the Greg Cody show that her rectal integrity will get questioned. People assume I'm going to be having a little fun with reality and I use an example of her having an episode While we're trying to return a rental car in Vancouver, and so we tell that anecdote where she had done like where where is she? Where's my wife? I had to text her. Where are you cuz I'm at the rental car counter and She does all the business in the family. So I don't know what to do with a rental car you just drop the keys I know but did we pretty easy pay what do we do we okay the car without pain okay I don't know any of

that stuff so it turns out she had to make an emergency run to the restroom there's no shame in that you know we all do it you also came up with a superhero shit man no no Christopher wanted to refer to a superhero shit man No, no Christopher wanted to refer to me as shit man and I softened it to crap man Why because I thought crap man was a better name for a superhero. Yeah his powers His power was if I put my hand on someone's shoulder I can I can heal his or her constipation I can make them shit spontaneously? I say you just control their bowels

That's your superpower. Yes that of all the things. Yes, you could be invisible You could know what people are thinking right you could be attractive to women men whatever your superpowers you want to deal with their IBS Yeah, pretty listen Mike could have used him a while back, right? I mean just there your hand on his shoulder and would have solved a lot of problems. And that started because Christie was making fun of me because I'm the world's most regular man on several different levels.

And one of them is that I am never constipated, I never have problem going, I enjoy the ring of honor in any bathroom I'm in. Just to quote you accurately, you said, I can always get one out. Yeah, yeah. This is horrible. That's putting it mildly.

You're lying, obviously, which is fine. No, I'm not. I want you to go right now. I'm a crap man. Right, like go now. I don't have to go now. When I have to go, I can go. I thought you just said that on command you can go.

When I command that I have to go, I can go. Yeah. We all can go when we have to go. He's not here to take a crap quiz first and foremost. Some people can. command you can go. When I command that I have to go, I can go. Yeah. We all can go when we have to go. He's not here to take a crap quiz first and foremost. Some people can. Thank you, Tony. Thank you, Tony.

I'm not here to take a crap quiz. I felt like I was trying to promote your show and I feel like you did a terrible job. I think we did it masterfully. Yeah. Absolutely. But that was the last episode. What happens this episode?

It's the herb episode. Well, every episode's been an herb episode. Yeah, yeah. No, we skipped one to build up to the number one. Really? We had on Mike Golick Jr. talking about Notre Dame Miami football, which a game's coming up later this month. Pretty big game down here. Arguably the biggest top five Canes football openers of all time. Because normally you start with Bethune-Cookman, you know, it's a soft opening but but this one wow Notre Dame is gonna be low top 10 I would think in the rankings. Will Miami be favored? Right now they are not favored. Notre Dame is

favored by two and a half last time I looked to two and a half. Miami does historically play some pretty big games to kick off their season there was a run of seasons there where they started against FSU. They've opened a couple seasons against Florida. They opened against Alabama and LSU. They opened one season with Ohio State that was really butch Davis kind of announcing that Miami was back. So.

That's fair. And this may be recency bias, but when I look at Miami opening at home against Notre Dame, I think of the echoes of what that rivalry used to be keep in mind I covered the team full-time from 84 to 88 the whole Catholics versus convicts a lovely time to cover college football. It is rare for them to open up at home with an opponent of this level yes is usually neutral sight game right. Will pro players sell out?

I think it is. It's done? Yeah, I think it's sold out. I usually don't wanna get my continue to keep going on the Hurricanes, but I did hear some training camp talk this morning and I'm kind of excited about it. What'd you say about Carson Beck?

There's some zip on those balls. Wow. Wow. That's all I'll say because this was a closed door practice. They're throwing dildos, Greg. This has been quite, we have made Dan proud today. There is no question. It's a good thing that it's a different time zone. The crap talk.

He's gonna be very different from Cain Ward in that Cain Ward improvised and held onto the ball a lot. So the offense is gonna look a little bit different, a little bit more balanced here, but very decisive with the ball and there is a zip. Wait, so he's better than the number one pick in the draft? No I say it's different. He says different. It's gonna be very different and may not bear the same kind of results. I think Miami will have a much more balanced attack. This year I think they kind of

fell in love with the weapon that they had with Cam Ward who approached the game very different. Carson Beck's gonna go through very quick progressions and know exactly where he wants to go with the ball. He's gonna look very different compared to Cam Ward in that respect. Yeah I'd love more balance. Good running back room. I think Fletcher is a guy who could rush for 1,500 yards. I'm a Jordan Lyle guy. Oh yeah? Yeah. Lyle's got the body type and unlike Fletcher who I really like, Jordan Lyle's got the pull away speed, can turn the the corner has the rare game breaking ability at that position that Miami's kind of lacked since the days of Lamar Miller and

Duke Johnson. They haven't been able I think if you pinpoint one of their issues on offense over these last few years and we've seen some of these players go and have success at SMU is real game breakers. They don't tend to have many of those. I mean Xavier Reshrepo was an AP All-American, but ran a 4-8. Guys that can bust a game open

with individual skill and talent. So I'm done now. You sure? Izzy, you did it. Decided for the season. It was a layup for you. Yeah, that was perfect. It was compact.

It gave you all the information you need, gave you a little bit of secret information, because it was a close practice. You wanna do wins-losses here or what? Ooh, the over-under's nine and a half for Miami that's pretty good. You could argue that Miami may have a worse record than last year and end up being a better team just because of their schedule being so difficult but only four road games it's all there for them in the ACC and I think anything but an appearance in Charlotte is a disappointment. Agre disappointment. It's a Sunday night game, David. Sunday night, 7.30.

What date? August 31st. So we are in the month of the hurricane starting. Yeah, that's why The Great Cody Show had Golick on to talk about it, who's got a new Notre Dame podcast with Jessica Smithana. Do you wanna promote it? I just did.

Do you know the name of it? It's called The Echoes, a podcast about the Notre Dame fighting Irish. The Echoes. The Echoes. The Echoes. The Echoes. It is? It's called The Echoes, a podcast about the Notre Dame fighting Irish. The Echoes. The Echoes. The Echoes. The Echoes.

It is The Echoes. The Echoes. Yeah, The Echoes. I think it's just Echoes. I don't know if there's a the. I think there is a the. There's no the. No, it's the.

I think it's Echoes. No, it's The Echoes. Echoes. The Echoes. No, it's The Echoes. Look it up. The Echoes. It's The Echoes.

The Echoes. What's it called again? The Echoes. Where can you find it? Wherever. The Echoes. What's it called again? The Echoes. Where can you find it? Wherever you find your podcasts. Wherever you find your podcasts. Echoes.

Wherever you find them. Don LeBattard. We love you, we've got you, we've all got each other. Let's go right now. Stugats. One, two, three, Brett. One, two, three, Brett! This is the Don LeBattard Show with the Stugats. It's very nice of us to keep promoting everything, Greg.

Thank you, David, for bringing that up. I appreciate the support because I'm a little mom and pop podcast. I don't have MetalArk Media behind me or anything like that. I'm a three-man operation. And so we're happy for all the support. What did he say about the quarterback situation from Notre Dame? That's an unproven commodity. It is that's that's the big edge for Miami is so injuries on the offensive line to Ruben Bain looks good And you know on the Luca hurricane Bain

You know what I like about Miami is that they improve the past defense was horrible last year it's why they didn't make the ACC title game in my opinion and Mario Cristobal you can question his in-game coaching the guy can win a portal and right I mean he I think their secondary is the most improved part of their team. Yeah but we're done now Izzy. Yeah we are. You worried about Lagway? I was gonna ask you to tell me about my Florida Gators because my college football watching experience is usually I check in around game three of the season and then figure out what's going on.

There's a little chatter that your boy, who I like, I like DJ Lagway. I think if he can stay healthy, kids got a bright future, but that's a big if. He went longer to throw a pass than Carson Beck did and he's in a walking boot now. I think they took that boot out for one video that they showed from practice. Word around the street is they're keeping him out of throwing on 11v11 drills right now. There's a guy that the injuries are starting to stack up and he's got a shoulder injury. He

avoided he avoided surgery. He's got a calf strain present presently right now we know how in the NBA that's usually a precursor for something but if you're a thrower of the football you're just putting more stress on that shoulder that you'd elected to not have surgery on very concerning for the Florida Gators. I have very little faith in the Florida Gators quarterbacks over time it's just such a great football school and yet they keep like they've just been swinging and missing on quarterbacks and now you got a good talented one and he's hurt, so. I think you should give up then, season's over.

Hasn't even started, don't be that guy. Can defensive tackles go back in coverage? I mean, Lance Kidry had Mesadour in the flats against Syracuse, yeah. That would be funny to watch. You mean by rule or? There are. I'm just thinking the Dolphins.

No, there are schemes in which a nose tackle, I don't know why you would. I mean, it's not using your personnel. I guess if you have someone that's really athletic along that front line and you have faith in their ability, they can drop back as you disguise a coverage, but. I was asking because I know the Dolphins have had so the issues in the secondary,

I think everybody's hurt, traded, and they just announced this new contract that they their defensive tackle Just signed the extension is that where you have to get good news out when everything else is bad And so you announced an extension that wasn't required didn't need it. He's their best defensive lineman But if you didn't need the extension, what isn't it just for news? I Don't know about the timing of it. You mean the timing of it? See, it just seemed very bizarre to me. There's not a lot of good coming out of Dolphins camp. You had Mike McDaniel talking about Hill

and there's just injuries. It all feels bad, but of course I'm not a Dolphin guy. So I'm okay with it feeling bad, but as a Dolphin guy, I assume you hate that it feels bad. I suppose they're looking to get ahead of the deal. Like if he has another season this year, like he did last year, then re-signing him for three more years

would be exponentially more a year ago. I guess that's the thinking. Never been a club president. Not quite sure how those machinations work. Well, we're trying to duck and weave. Yeah. Bidding Bob. We're trying to have you not think that we stink

and not think that we're having an issue with him, think that our season's gonna be great by the way we just made a guy our highest paid defensive player right I think the Dolphins front seven is pretty good defensively I think Anthony we was a great defensive coordinator I think there are ways for them to disguise the thinnest cornerback room in the NFL now having said that are they gonna have a great season and make the playoffs? Probably not. Um, although if two of us stays healthy all year, I think they have a shot.

Greg, I'm curious what the sort of conversation is around Tyree kill when you're around the team, like the type of expectations that are going to come from him because we already saw, you know, the end of last season and how he went out and little too critical like that, I guess. And then, uh, most recently saying that A-chan

shouldn't be out there on third down and that sort of insulting your own teammate and your own coaches. Like, is that an example of Mike McDaniel not having the grasp of his room, of his locker room? Or is this just Tyreek just kind of fishing on ways to get out of here? Well, I think Tyreek's done a mea culpa.

I mean, Tyreek is finding ways to apologize publicly for some of the things he said last year for bowing out of going back in a game late in the season for implying that he wants out and then backtracking on that. And Tuah at the beginning of this camp stated, put it right out there that Tyreek has to win back the trust of this team. And I think he's trying to do that and and for me saying that HN is not big enough to be on on the third and goal situation you know there's some truth to that and I think that's Tyreek Hill trying to show leadership trying to be a captain in in

a positive way rather than in a disruptive way. So I think there's been some fences mended when it comes to Tyre kill. Greg, when we talk about the identity of this team, it's been speed, right? That's what they sold the speed, speed everywhere. We got speed in the backfield, we got speed out wide. We got speed everywhere. Is that still the identity or are they trying to shape,

that you know, shape shift with their offense as the last couple of years has been kind of declining as far as yards per average and a whole bunch of stuff? I think the emphasis is on speed because they want the ball out of to his hands as quickly as possible. They want his time holding the football post-snap to be the quickest in the entire league. Tyreek Hill, I think he maybe he's lost a half a step but he's still one of the fastest players in the league. Jalen Waddle's very fast.

Both of their top running backs are very fast. And so McDaniel just wants that motion offense that's gonna get rid of the ball quickly, because if nothing else, it helps keep two upright. That's the whole key. Yeah. Imagine doing a whole thing around the player just to keep him healthy.

I mean. Change everything. With him and his track record, you have to. He's played a full season once in six years. And that's. It's not good enough. No. You can't build a team around that. Well, when everybody talks about the Dolphins prospects, they begin with if two stays healthy.

And the over-under on the Dolphins is very low. I think it's seven and a half, which I think is a pretty smart over but that still doesn't mean they're gonna make the play that's the same over under on DJ Lagway's Florida Gators different number of games though now yes yes I took the under though that is a very difficult schedule in the SEC and with all the uncertainty surrounding the quarterback who we like I just can't take that over in good conscience. But you can't compare the two if it's different games. Just bringing it full circle.

Like an Echo. Baseball over under and a basketball over under. Echo. The Echo. I looked it up. The Echoes. It's actually called The Echo. The Echoes.

The Echoes, a podcast on the Notre Dame fighting Irish. That's what I said, the Echoes. It is me then. No, because The Echoes podcast is an on the Notre Dame fighting Irish. That's what I said, The Echoes. It is me then. No, because The Echoes podcast is an H.E. Butt Foundation podcast. Irish it weren't. That's funny.

H.E. Butt. Yeah, H.E. Butt founded the H.E. Butt Foundation. They're throwing dildos, Greg. Is Howard Edward Butt Sr., who is the founder of the H.E.B. grocery chain. So that Echoes has. Greg, it's what all the time. So they have a foundation, that foundation has a podcast.

Wow, rivalry. Which is different than what Golic and Jessica are doing. Yeah, the HEBUT Foundation has the Echoes podcast. Yes. Jessica and Gojo have the Echoes, a podcast on the Notre Dame fighting Irish. The Echoes. One podcast has a but, the other one has a colon.

That's a little copyright potential. Yeah. Are we sure that they do all the legal things required to? NMP, buddy. Not my problem. Mm-hmm. Amen. Wait, N-O-P?

NMP. Sorry. It's also bilingual. No me problema. See that? I cut out the S in the middle of that. And it was not. What? It was not What? What? Okay.

Echoes. NMP buddy. Double negative. Is NMP Spanish or English? It's English, not my problem. They're both. Yeah. What's the Spanish word for it? It's Spanish? Yes. No es mi problema. So no is not. Yeah. No es mi problema. Yeah. Nailed it. Greg, gomay problema. Yeah, nailed it. Greg, go touch David's shoulder and make him poop. He doesn't like people touching his shoulder.

I don't touch me at all. Did I say that? I can poop if he did. Watch your hands, Chris. I don't wanna be touched by you, but my body is such a- Where's this bag of candy today? Touch me. I would touch you.

It's a great song. Would you touch him and make him poop immediately or touch him and give him a good pooping schedule? Whatever he needed. Is your power based on good or based on high jinx? It's good and evil. Like most superheroes. So if Superman's in a bad mood, you know, he can, you know, give a little of that to whoever needs it. Give a little what?

Jerk out. A horse-off? Yeah, give a little of that, whoever needs it. Give a little what? Jerk out. A horse off? Yeah, give a little of that. I got a theme song for you, Greg. You want it? Yeah. I'm the crap man. Da da da da da da da da da da da da da.

Not scatting. Well, he could also be the scat man. Yeah, because that's a great, yes. Is it touch sensitive? If you push on my shoulder harder, I go right then. But if it's like a little soft tap, I have the ability to get to a toilet. I can make it diarrhea. I can make it a little harder.

Hell yeah. No way, Smey Problama. What if I'm going up a ladder? Will I hear something splatter? It depends on my wishes as crap man. You guys have no chance. It's okay though. They're throwing dildos, Greg.
